As the Luo Family, which possesses the only spatial wormhole, holds a top position and wealth in Horizon City.
Thus, the Luo Family occupies the best and most prosperous location in Horizon City as their family base.
At this moment.
A red figure, like the wind, rushed through the gate, crying, and stormed into the Luo Family's courtyard.
"Grandpa... Grandpa..."
The piercing and sharp cries instantly transformed the once quiet Luo Family courtyard into a bustling scene.
Figures emerged in response to the cries, their eyes filled with curiosity.
In a city almost entirely under the Luo Family's control, who would dare provoke this young lady? Usually, she is the one who makes others cry.
However.
When they actually saw the red-clad young girl's appearance, they couldn't help but gasp, their eyes widening in shock.
The girl's originally delicate face had one half of it swelling up so much that it looked like a pig's face.
In Horizon City, who would dare to beat up the young lady?
The ancestor's affection for Xiao Yao is well known!
"What's wrong? Xiao Yao."
An elderly voice came from afar, followed by an old man emerging from the shadows.
His eyes, which were somewhat murky before, cleared up when he saw the girl.
In the next moment, the old man went straight to the girl.
"Xiao Yao?"
His tone was hesitant, as if he found it hard to believe.
"Grandpa, you have to stand up for me!"
The girl suddenly threw herself into the old man's arms.
"Who did this?! Who did this!"
The old man's expression darkened, anger flashing in his eyes. "Hua Wen, Liu Shan! Get out here! You were supposed to watch over Xiao Yao, and you let this happen..."
He had not finished speaking when he saw the two people supporting each other as they walked out.
Luo Cheng was taken aback and somewhat stunned.
Hua Wen and Liu Shan, both possessing Dou Emperor strength, had been beaten into such a state in the city, and he hadn't noticed at all—how could this be?
"What exactly happened?"
He asked.
The two immediately explained what had occurred on the street.
Upon learning that the two had their bones shattered by a single punch from a little girl, Luo Cheng was astonished, and his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.
A little girl with such strength—could she be a transformed Magic Beast?
"Xiao Yao, don't cry. Grandpa will stand up for you."
Luo Cheng, in his blue robe, ruffled the girl's hair. "Do you know where they are? Take me there!"
"Yes!"
The two nodded.
"Grandpa, you must teach them a good lesson!"
Xiao Yao said through her tears.
The incident involving the Luo Family's young lady had happened on the street.
Now, seeing the blue-robed old man leave the Luo Family, the crowd quickly gathered like sharks smelling blood and followed him.
The group went directly to the inn where Lin Xiu was staying.
At this moment, Lin Xiu was just stepping out, planning to go to the Luo Family to discuss the payment.
"Grandpa! It's her!"
As he reached the lobby on the first floor, Lin Xiu heard a sharp shout and looked up to see a large crowd blocking the entrance of the inn.
In the middle of the crowd were a blue-robed old man and a red-clad young girl with a swollen face.
At that moment, the girl was pointing a finger at Zi Yan beside him.
"Are you all together?"
Luo Cheng saw the purple-haired girl half-hidden behind the young man.
"Yes."
Lin Xiu nodded.
"Several of you beat up my granddaughter on the street. Is this how you show respect to the Luo Family?"
Luo Cheng's tone was grim.
The people around, seeing the Luo Family ancestor angry, cast gleeful glances at Lin Xiu and the others.
"The Luo Family ancestor rarely makes an appearance."
"Now that these people have offended the Luo Family ancestor, their situation is likely to be dire."
"Who doesn't know that Xiao Yao is deeply favored by the Luo Family ancestor?"
"Heh, this is definitely going to be a show worth watching."
"If an elder were nearby, apologizing now might still leave some room for recovery."
The crowd whispered among themselves.
Under the intense scrutiny, Lin Xiu's expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of concern.
As if he hadn't heard the murmurs, he met the old man's gaze with a slight smirk, "Luo Family? What's it worth? Why should I pay it any attention?"
Wow!
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
The scene became chaotic.
The Luo Family's followers, unleashing their Dou Qi and showing no expression, scanned the crowd and restored order.
"Several of you look unfamiliar; you must be visiting Horizon City for the first time…"
The old man suddenly smiled, causing a chill to run down the spines of those who saw it. "There are certain rules you should understand upon entering the city to avoid committing irreparable offenses."
"What rules? The one with the bigger fist makes the rules!"
Zi Yan swung her fist, showing no fear.
"Though the words are rough, they are indeed reasonable and understandable."
The old man was taken aback, but his smile remained. "However, your fists aren't very large."
"Is that so?"
Lin Xiu pressed Zi Yan's hand down and straightened his posture slightly. "I wonder if my fists are sufficient?"
As his words fell, a surge of Dou Ancestor power erupted from his body.
Luo Cheng's expression changed instantly.
The surrounding crowd fell silent, feeling the oppressive force and struggling to breathe.
"If that's still not enough, add me to the mix."
Xiao Yi Xian coldly smiled, and then a presence no weaker than Lin Xiu's surged forth, like a mountain rising from the ground.
"Dou Ancestor experts?!"
"Two of them?"
"Hiss!"
On the street, the crowd finally reacted, and exclamations filled the area.
Looking at the pair of young men and women, the red-clad girl's expression became somewhat dazed, her color draining to a pale hue.
It is rare to encounter such young Dou Ancestor experts, let alone two at once.
She understood very well that with the Luo Family's position, they would never wish to provoke Dou Ancestor experts lightly.
Luo Cheng's expression kept changing.
As a Dou Ancestor himself, he was more perceptive than others. Previously, he hadn't sensed anything unusual.
But as the two revealed their power, a strong aura of danger overwhelmed him.
This indicated that neither of them could be underestimated!
Damn it! How could Horizon City suddenly have two such young experts?! And Xiao Yao, why did she provoke them?!
This is unacceptable!
Once we return to the Luo Family, she must be thoroughly disciplined. Otherwise, who knows what trouble she might cause in the future.
With this thought, he suddenly turned to the girl. "Xiao Yao, you're getting more and more out of line. Hurry up and apologize to them!"
After reprimanding the girl, he turned to Lin Xiu. "I'm truly sorry. Today's incident was instigated by my granddaughter, and I apologize to you all."
Then, as if trying to distance himself, he waved at the Luo Family members. "What are you standing around for? Quickly take Xiao Yao back and put her under house arrest! Without my permission, she's not allowed to step out of the Luo Family from now on!"
Upon hearing this, the Luo Family members quickly came to their senses, disregarding their embarrassment. They escorted the red-clad girl and prepared to leave.
Two Dou Ancestor experts.
Even though the ancestor didn't say it directly, they understood that such powerful experts were not ones the ancestor wanted to provoke.
Luo Cheng cupped his fists towards Lin Xiu and the others, putting on an apologetic smile as if he had completely forgotten he was here to support his granddaughter.
"Wait!"
Just as he turned around, Luo Cheng relaxed slightly but was startled when he heard a young voice from behind. His expression turned tense.
