Zhou Hao heard the three girls speak in unison, saying Lin Fei was their boyfriend, and his first thought was that they were playing a trick on him.

Although he didn't know who Lin Fei was, he absolutely did not believe that the boyfriend of four women could be the same person.

Of course, he was unaware of Lin Fei's engagement with them; otherwise, he wouldn't think this way.

Zhou Hao snapped back to reality, laughed coldly, and said, "Alright, since your boyfriend is this Lin Fei, I'll believe you for now."

"However, the day after tomorrow, on Friday, I hope to meet this boyfriend of yours, Lin Fei. As long as he appears before us and admits to being your boyfriend, we won't disturb you further."

Saying this, Zhou Hao's tone turned cold, "Otherwise, it means you're deceiving us. We, the Jiangnan Four Young Masters, are not so easily fooled."

Zhou Hao's lips curled into a cold smirk, "I won't interrupt your enjoyment of the scenery."

Having finished speaking, Zhou Hao turned and prepared to leave with Gao Zijian and Zeng Longjun.

"Zhou Hao, my friend Lin Fei will not show up, and Yuxi and Zimo won't attend your party either. You might as well let this idea die," Qin Yunyue shouted to Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and fixed a sharp gaze on Qin Yunyue, saying, "If he doesn't show up, I'll assume you're playing tricks on us and not giving us face. If you don't give us face, we certainly won't give you face either."

"Zhou Hao, what exactly do you want?" Qin Yunyue asked Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao laughed, "It's simple, have your sisters attend the party with us, as long as you give us face, we will naturally give you face in return."

At this, Qin Yunyue, Xiao Ling, Xie Wenbo, and Li Qing all showed signs of anger.

It was clear Zhou Hao was forcing their sisters to attend Gao Zijian's party.

And they knew that Yuan Yuxi, Qin Zimo, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Yixin's affections were for Lin Fei.

Lin Fei was their good brother, having saved them from life-and-death situations numerous times.

Qin Yunyue, Xie Wenbo, Xiao Ling, and Li Qing naturally wouldn't let anyone make advances on them.

"Zhou Hao, what you're saying is something we cannot agree to," Qin Yunyue replied firmly, refusing to back down.

Zhou Hao's gaze was as cold as frost, "Alright, you have quite the backbone. Don't say I didn't give you a chance, I'll give you two days to think it over, and at noon on Friday, we will wait for your response in the main field."

With that, Zhou Hao told Gao Zijian and Zeng Longjun, "Let's go."

Watching the trio leave, Qin Yunyue and the others were filled with anger.

"Young Master Qin, what should we do next?" Li Qing asked with some concern looking at Qin Yunyue, "I've heard that the martial arts prowess of the Jiangnan Four Young Masters is quite formidable, with Zhou Hao's skills reaching the fifth level of a Master!"

Qin Yunyue's eyes darkened, saying, "I'm not worried about Zhou Hao, it's Jiang Yifan, the head of the Jiangnan Four Young Masters. I've heard his martial prowess has even reached the level of Martial King."

Xiao Ling and Xie Wenbo's expressions also turned serious.

"I've heard his family is a century-old martial arts family in Jiangnan, and his father was the powerful Sect Leader of the Longevity Sect in Jiangnan, renowned as the first sword in Jiangnan. Fortunately, he was killed by a formidable enemy in the Capital City a few days ago, so they are no threat to us," Li Qing, although not academically inclined, had become quite informed about the family backgrounds of notable figures at Jiangnan University since his arrival.

"Yuxi, Zimo, if they don't attend Gao Zijian's birthday party, the Jiangnan Four Young Masters might become hostile towards us, which would be detrimental," Xiao Ling frowned slightly.

"If only Lin Fei were here, the Jiangnan Four Young Masters would be nothing before him, pffft!" Xie Wenbo spat fiercely.

"Our grandfather said Brother Fei has gone to Huadu to rescue his martial sister, but I wonder if he's succeeded," Li Qing's face showed a trace of melancholy.

Qin Yunyue said, "Let's not trouble Lin Fei with this matter, he has plenty to handle in the Capital City."

"Besides, Jiangnan University is not a place where the Jiangnan Four Young Masters can dominate completely, they also have strong rivals, the Jiangnan Four Dragons."

Li Qing's eyes lit up, "I know about the Jiangnan Four Dragons, they are comprised of four noble scions of Jiangnan City, and their martial arts skills are on par with the Jiangnan Four Young Masters."

Then, as if realizing something, Li Qing turned to Qin Yunyue, "No wonder you've been associating with members of the Jiangnan Four Dragons recently, you anticipated that the Jiangnan Four Young Masters might trouble us, so you're hoping to enlist the aid of the Jiangnan Four Dragons against them, right?"

Qin Yunlong said, "I'm just taking precautions. If Jiang Yifan moves against us and we have no guaranteed victory, we may have to call upon the Jiangnan Four Dragons."

"I'll reach out to the Jiangnan Four Dragons about today's events, and I'm confident they'll side with us. Besides, Jiang Yifan just lost his father, so he may not return to school so soon. Maybe things aren't as severe as they seem."

Their expressions of worry faded somewhat, and they slowly made their way away from the lakeside.

Outside the Kunlun Mountain Range, Wujia Town serves as a crucial pass into Kunlun Mountain from Sichuan Province.

Though the town is small, it bustles with travelers heading to Kunlun Mountain, boasting numerous inns, hotels, and markets, presenting an exuberant scene.

In a room of a local inn, an elder in a black Tang suit, with a head full of silver hair, sat on a sofa, his gaze sharp as a wolf's, though his face held no expression.

Ding Yongsheng and several tall young men in suits and sunglasses stood before the elder.

Ding Yongsheng furtively glanced at the elder, secretly astonished: who would have thought Elder Wan was so adept at disguise? If not for his expressionless face revealing the fake skin he wore, it would be nearly impossible to detect his altered appearance.

Indeed, the elder in the Tang suit was Elder Wan.

Previously, Elder Wan had always worn a silver mask, but recently, to track down Lin Fei, he had found the mask inconvenient and switched to a disguise, using fake skin to conceal his true appearance.

"Ahem," Elder Wan took a sip from the teacup in his hand and coughed slightly, as he addressed Ding Yongsheng and the young men in suits, "So, what have you all found?"

"Elder Wan, before we traveled from the Capital City to Sichuan Province, we had Black Eagle Guards investigate. Four days ago, Lin Fei flew from Capital City's International Airport to Tianfu City's International Airport, and just now we learned from Tianfu City International Airport that Lin Fei boarded a flight to Jiangnan City at 8 o'clock this morning," Ding Yongsheng reported respectfully.

Elder Wan's brows knitted slightly, "So, it seems we've come on a fruitless journey, chasing empty air?"

"Elder, our Netherworld experts also heard in town that someone saw Lin Fei taking a coach to Tianfu City Airport yesterday afternoon," a young man in a suit and sunglasses reported as well.

Elder Wan's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Jiangnan City, it is indeed within the realm of Jiang Bu'er's Longevity Sect, or rather, the entire Jiangnan is influenced by the Jiangnan Martial Saint's power. It appears we must capture Lin Fei before the Jiangnan Martial Saint becomes aware of our intentions."

"Yes, Elder," several Netherworld experts responded promptly.

Meanwhile, on a plane bound for Jiangnan City, a young man wearing sunglasses reclined in his seat, dozing with a faint snore.

This young man was Lin Fei.
