Anyone with the guts, step forward!

"Da Long, what did you ask A Lu for help with?"

The third镖头 stared intently at Zhao Dalong, which frightened him so much that his legs went weak. He quickly patted Chen Lu on the shoulder and shouted loudly to cover up his guilty conscience.

"I mean, if Xiaohe gets into a fight with them, you have to help me break it up."

"Yes, Third Chief, Da Long has been telling me how to resolve this matter," Chen Lu said, trying to smooth things over.

The third镖头 snorted coldly, clearly not believing his words.

Whatever they were secretly discussing, nothing was more important than their eldest daughter divorcing her husband.

There were more than a dozen people standing in Wang Shengning's courtyard, making the originally large courtyard seem somewhat cramped.

A quick glance revealed Wang Shengning standing behind the eldest son of the Third Chief Escort, her hands gripping her brother's arm tightly, her expression filled with sorrow and fear.

The tears had dried, but her eyes were still red, and there was a swollen, bleeding handprint on her face.

A woman next to her put her arm around her shoulder and kept comforting her.

At the very front was a young woman who was not tall and had a slightly thin figure, but had an imposing presence.

This person was none other than Wang Shenghe, the youngest daughter of the Third Escort, and Zhao Dalong's sweetheart.

Opposite her stood ten people. Judging from their appearance, half of them were Wang Shengning's in-laws, and the other half were her husband's friends.

These people were equally arrogant, and without any regard for masculinity, they were hurling insults at Xiao He, a woman.

"Brother Lu."

When Chen Lu entered, the eldest son of the Third Escort nodded slightly and whispered a few words to Wang Shengning.

When Wang Shengning saw that it was Chen Lu, she hurriedly lowered her head and frantically wiped away the tears and dirt on her face.

Then, she raised her head, glanced at the others present, and cautiously walked over.

As Chen Lu drew nearer, he could feel Wang Shenglin let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had completely relaxed.

Only then did I realize that her face was extremely haggard, her hair was dry and yellow, and when I reached out to feel her pulse, I found that her blood and energy were also very depleted.

"It's okay, didn't I tell Da Long not to get involved?"

The family has high hopes for you now, and if I end up leaving a bad impression on you...

As Chen Lu listened to the woman in his arms trying to act as if nothing had happened, his heart trembled, and an uncontrollable anger suddenly surged into his brain.

He recalled that a few years ago, Ah Ning was lively and active, always seemingly having endless things to say. Although she was a bit annoying, he felt very warm whenever he thought of her.

But now it has become like this...

In an instant, the sword intent within his sea of ​​consciousness surged wildly, uncontrollably pouring into his dantian. Spiritual energy circulated through his meridians, and a sharp golden light condensed at his fingertips.

Suddenly, a pair of cold, jade-like hands landed on my arm.

Wang Shengning forced a smile and advised, "Brother Lu, it's better to avoid trouble. Let it go."

Chen Lu suddenly remembered that his original intention was to sever this relationship.

If he had followed his thinking, he could have beaten them all up and made them behave, which would have been a quick and easy solution. But this would have undoubtedly left a deeper impression on Wang Shengning.

If you want to sever all ties now, you have to follow Xiaohe's arrangements.

However, seeing Wang Shengning's miserable appearance, he felt a little sad.

"Brother Da Long, where are the men from our caravan?"

With ten people on the other side and only six on our side, we were at a disadvantage from the start in terms of momentum.

"Song, Amo, and Alon went with their men to look for you. They're worried you might not be able to handle a fight if one breaks out."

"Oh well."

Chen Lu glanced at Wang Shengning, who was huddled behind him, his heart softened, and he sighed.

"Tell Xiaohe what her plans are and do them now, so that A Ning can leave here as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Zhao Dalong walked towards the aggressive Xiao He, hesitated for a moment, then shrank back and cautiously approached, whispering a few words in her ear.

Xiao He turned her head, frowned, and carefully looked Chen Lu up and down. She addressed him respectfully, but her tone was anything but friendly.

"Brother Lu! Come here!"

"oh."

Chen Lu walked over and stood aside, waiting for Xiao He's instructions.

"You! Say that again!"

Ah Ning's husband snorted coldly, his tone full of resentment.

"Does this even need to be said? You, an outsider, have always had an ambiguous relationship with A-Ning. She already has a legitimate husband, yet she still can't forget you."

Since you, a member of a different surname, started frequently visiting the clan's territory a year ago, she has been eager to see you every day.

"None of you outsiders are good people. You're capable of seducing married women, and this Wang Shengning is a slut who cheats on her husband!"

The three镖头 (bodyguards) stood behind, their backs turned, ignoring everything that was happening and offering no comment.

Chen Lu took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and looked to the side.

"Xiao He, I understand the situation very well now."

A few years ago, I had a relationship with A Ning.

But I was devoted to the Dao and had no interest in romantic relationships. I didn't want to hinder her future, so I broke up with her decisively. Otherwise, we would have become Daoist partners long ago.

Ah Ning is a sensible girl who knows what she should and shouldn't do.

The fact that she gave birth to two sons for you in the years after our marriage is proof of that.

Xiao He turned her head and gave Chen Lu a deep look, which made him feel a little guilty, but with outsiders present, he didn't show anything.

I don't need to repeat what kind of life my sister had in your house.

Xiao He glanced at everyone and said, "I still stand by what I said: divorce is a must! It can't be a peaceful separation, and it definitely can't be a divorce!"

If you think you can rely on your numbers, you can come up and try.

I'm genuinely curious, is it the bodyguards who are always engaged in close combat who are more powerful, or you scum who only know how to calculate and bully women?

Everyone present knew that this fight was definitely not going to happen.

With fewer people, cultivation level can determine everything. At most, the loser's cultivation level will be crippled. The degree of control is well-managed, and the family doesn't bother to interfere.

There are more than a dozen people here, and with the few who haven't returned yet, there are more than twenty people.

When there are many people, the fight can become very chaotic, and people could easily be killed.

Killing a member of the same clan is considered fratricide, which is the same crime as betraying the clan. Both crimes require execution and must be publicly announced within the family, without any leniency.

So, most of the day had passed, and the only time he actually used his fist was when he slapped Wang Shengning.

"I only have one sentence: whoever has a problem with this, please step forward."

Ah Ning's husband glared at her, about to say something, but was interrupted by a sharp look from Xiao He.

"You can step forward. In the cultivation world, strength is paramount."

It's not about who's right or wrong, but about who has the power and who's right!

Xiao He glanced at Chen Lu, raised her chin, and gestured for him to move forward a bit.

Chen Lu obediently stepped forward, and then heard her continue:

"Look at him, Chen Lu! Thirty-three years old, Qi Refining Level 7, he started working his way up in the镖局 (镖局 is a type of security escort agency) at the age of twenty and worked his way up to the position of镖师 (镖师 is a type of security escort) on his own."

What about you? You're all in your thirties, how's your skill level? Is it solid? How many people have you killed?
