Chapter 346: White Luo Yu's Arrival

December 13th, 2024

The Liu Family's Courtyard.

As Liu Wanwan uttered the four words, "a bunch of beasts," the younger generations of the Liu family present were left dumbfounded.

They never imagined that Liu Wanwan, the clan's legitimate daughter, who had been removed from the family records years ago, would possess such presence.

She had just openly spoken such treasonous words in front of the clan leader and the elders.

Liu Sansheng was also shocked as he stared at his older sister.

"Big sister, you're truly my big sister!!!" He couldn't help but groan inwardly.

He could imagine that his older sister, Liu Wanwan, speaking such treasonous words would ignite immense anger in their father's heart.

At this moment, Liu Xinyi, the second young master of the Liu family, gave a cold smile.

"My dear niece, you're still as sharp-tongued as ever."

"As a child of the Liu family, to speak such treasonous words, insulting the entire Liu family as beasts, it's no wonder you ran off with a wild man back then!"

Liu Wanwan replied, "Second Uncle, before you speak about me, you should first take care of your own daughter! She had an affair within her marriage and even plotted to kill her husband!!"

"How dare you!!!"

As soon as Liu Wanwan spoke these words, Liu Xinyi instantly flew into a rage.

"What? I can't speak about what your daughter did? Who can compare to your family in terms of poor character?" Liu Wanwan retorted without holding back.

The reason she dared to speak out at this moment was because Jiang Yiming had quietly said something to her.

"Uncle is here!"

These words made Liu Wanwan's confidence soar, and she boldly retorted, exposing the scandalous past of the Liu family's second young master.

"How dare you!!!"

Just then, Liu Xinzhi, the clan leader of the Liu family, looked at his daughter, and his eyes instantly filled with raging anger.

He immediately took a step forward and raised his right hand, about to slap her.

At that moment, Jiang Li stepped forward and pulled Liu Wanwan behind him.

From a distance, Jiang Ning saw this and was about to take action.

"Master!!!" The first wife, who accompanied Liu Xinzhi, immediately grabbed Liu Xinzhi's arm.

"Master, you know how Wanwan is! Let it go!"

"Let go!!!" Liu Xinzhi, trembling with anger, forcefully shook off the first wife, sending her flying a meter away.

Then, he took a step forward.

"Get out of the way!" He shouted at Jiang Li.

Raising his hand, he was about to slap Jiang Li away.

Just at that moment, a man's sighing voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Clan Leader Liu, what a grand display of power!!!"

As the voice sounded, he felt the air around him freeze, and his body was bound by an invisible force.

What is this? Liu Xinyi's anger instantly vanished, replaced by extreme fear.

He had never encountered such a mystical technique before.

Although he felt that the air's restraint on him wasn't entirely solid, and he could break free with his robust physique, he still didn't dare to make any rash moves.

At the same time, someone spoke up, "Who is that?" It was Jiang Ning, who had arrived from a distance.

At this moment, Jiang Ning resembled a soaring roc piercing through the sky.

As the voice sounded, everyone's gaze followed in that direction.

"Uncle!!!" Xiaodou Bao saw Jiang Ning in mid-air and immediately started clapping excitedly.

Is that Jiang Ning?

Liu Xinzhi also noticed Jiang Ning and felt a sense of foreboding.

He didn't think that Jiang Ning had just arrived at that moment; he must have been there earlier.

The reason he chose to appear at this moment was likely because he wanted to take action against his brother, Jiang Li.

Recalling the intelligence report about Jiang Ning and his son Liu Sansheng's advice, a thought suddenly flashed through Liu Xinzhi's mind.

"It seems like things won't end well today!"

Beside him, Liu Xinzhi watched Jiang Ning piercing through the sky, and his gaze momentarily froze.

They had already received information about Jiang Ning, and the aspect they valued the most was his archery skills.

With his world-shaking archery skills, he had single-handedly defended a city with just one bow on New Year's Eve.

Later, he used his archery to kill Li Hong, the County Master of Luoshui County who had joined the Worshipping Gods Sect.

They were also aware of the strength of this County Master Li Hong.

He was a sixth-rank martial artist.

With the blessing of the Blood and Flesh God's divine descendant transformation, his combat power was no weaker than a fifth-rank martial artist.

The fact that Jiang Ning could kill him with his archery skills indicated that his strength was extraordinary.

It was also for this reason that they had already decided to accept Jiang Li as their son-in-law, hoping to connect with Jiang Ning and strengthen the Liu family's influence.

He never expected Jiang Ning to appear at this moment.

Moreover, it was evident that Jiang Ning couldn't have just arrived, as such coincidences rarely occurred in the world.

He also never imagined that Jiang Ning's movement technique would be so mystical.

In the air, he seemed to fly with the wind, his speed astonishing.

Thinking of this, the second young master of the Liu family signaled to the person beside him.

He opened his mouth slightly and whispered, "Go invite Wei Gongfeng!"

Behind Liu Xinzhi, Liu Sansheng saw Jiang Ning's appearance and felt a sense of unease.

"Jiang Tongling indeed arrived early!"

"This is troublesome!"

"I hope it won't be too bad!"

He silently muttered to himself.

At this time, Liu Wanwan noticed Jiang Ning's appearance, and a hint of joy flashed across her eyes.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that having her husband's family support her wasn't a bad idea.

Over the years, she had become well aware of the Liu family's ways.

If not for Jiang Ning's support, she wouldn't have dared to speak her mind just now.

In just a fleeting moment, Jiang Ning crossed a distance of over two hundred meters, his body moving like a falling willow leaf, slowly landing in the backyard.

"Dudu!!!" Xiaodou Bao immediately let go of his brother's clothes and ran towards Jiang Ning, throwing himself onto his thigh.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning smiled gently, reached out to ruffle Xiaodou Bao's hair, and then patted him lightly.

Then he turned his gaze to Jiang Yiming.

"Uncle!" Jiang Yiming spoke calmly.

"Well done!" Jiang Ning nodded in praise.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiming couldn't help but scratch his head and smile.

Then Jiang Ning glanced at the fat man in Jiang Yiming's hand, who had been slapped by Jiang Yiming, and then looked at Liu Xingzhi, the son of the Liu family's steward, among the crowd.

With his hearing, he had just heard a lot.

He also knew that the instigator of the incident in the backyard was this Liu family servant.

A thought flashed through his mind.

With a slight movement of his toes, a piece of rubble on the ground suddenly shattered and flew away.

Pfft—

The stone entered the body, tearing flesh and blood.

The son of the Liu family's steward suddenly fell to the ground, clutching his leg and howling in pain.

The agonizing wails instantly spread throughout the entire backyard.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xinyi's expression turned solemn.

In his opinion, Jiang Ning's actions were meant to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

"Take him away, he's making too much noise!" Clan Leader Liu Xinyi immediately ordered.

"Yes, Clan Leader!" Someone responded and dragged away the steward's son.

As the voices faded.

Liu Xinyi, the Liu clan leader, finally turned to Jiang Ning.

"Commander Jiang, this is the Liu family's backyard!"

"And?" Jiang Ning asked.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinyi's eyes twitched, and after calming his fluctuating emotions, he continued, "Do you think you can do this in the Liu family?"

"Overstepping?"

"I think Commander Jiang has gone too far!" Liu Xinyi said.

"You think it's useless!" Jiang Ning replied.

Hearing this, Liu Xinyi's face turned red with suppressed anger.

At this moment, Jiang Ning no longer paid attention to Liu Xinyi, the Liu clan leader.

He smiled and said, "You think it's useless!"

"I think it's useless!" Jiang Ning replied.

Hearing this, Liu Xinyi's face turned red with suppressed anger.

At this moment, Jiang Ning no longer paid attention to Liu Xinyi, the Liu clan leader.

He looked at Jiang Li and Liu Wanwan.

"Are you two okay?"

"I'm fine!" Jiang Li chuckled.

At this moment, Jiang Ning's expression suddenly changed.

With a flash of his body, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

When he reappeared, it was as if he had teleported, appearing two meters in front of Jiang Li.

The next moment, Jiang Ning raised his hand and lightly tapped Jiang Li's chest.

Wah—

Jiang Li spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood fell to the ground, turning black.

After spitting out this mouthful of blood, Jiang Li felt his body relax.

"What's going on?" Jiang Ning's voice was cold as iron.

The killer's intent was revealed, and a subtle aura of power spread, making everyone in the backyard feel as if they were on the edge of an abyss, silent as crickets.

Liu Xinyi, the Liu clan leader, Liu Xinyi, the second young master of the Liu family, and the third young master, who had remained silent in the crowd, all felt a sense of unease.

This fear, which came from deep within their hearts, was something they had never experienced before.

Suddenly, a deep voice resounded, "Who dares to be so bold in the Liu family's backyard!"

The voice was powerful and resonant, like the sound of golden bells and jade chimes in everyone's ears.

Upon hearing this voice, some of the Liu family members looked pleased.

"It's Elder Wei, the honored guest!"

Liu Xinyi also felt relieved, and he glanced at Liu Xinyi, the second young master of the Liu family.

Liu Xinyi nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Liu Xinyi's face relaxed into a slight smile.

Jiang Ning's appearance and arrival had put pressure on him.

He knew that among the crowd, no one was a match for Jiang Ning.

Even his second brother, Liu Xinyi, was a sixth-rank martial artist, but his advanced age and declining health meant he couldn't compare to Jiang Ning, a young man in his prime.

Facing Jiang Ning, Liu Xinyi felt intimidated and lacked confidence due to his inferior strength.

Now that Elder Wei had arrived, Liu Xinyi felt a surge of confidence.

Elder Wei was a highly respected guest invited by the Liu family with great honor.

A fifth-rank martial artist, Elder Wei was a top-tier expert in Dongling City.

The next moment, an elderly man with a robust build and a face radiating health appeared, taking steady steps like a dragon and tiger, capturing everyone's attention.

"Elder Wei!"

"Elder Wei!!!"

Liu Xinyi and Liu Xinyi, the clan leader, were the first to greet him respectfully.

"Greetings, Elder Wei!"

"Greetings, Elder Wei!"

"Greetings, Elder Wei!"

The other Liu family members also bowed respectfully.

Elder Wei looked at the Liu family members and nodded slightly.

Then, his gaze fell upon Jiang Ning.

"Are you Commander Jiang?"

"Do you know me?" Jiang Ning asked.

"I've heard of you," Elder Wei nodded.

"Who are you?" Jiang Ning inquired.

Upon hearing this, Elder Wei, with his robust build and radiant face, puffed out his chest and glared, his eyes wide with anger.

Jiang Ning's words were undoubtedly implying that Elder Wei was a nobody.

This statement also contrasted sharply with his previous words.

It left Elder Wei at a loss for words.

After a moment of contemplation, Elder Wei puffed out his chest and glared, "How arrogant, young man! I am your senior, and you dare to be so disrespectful?"

Jiang Ning waved his hand dismissively, "Stop with these pointless accusations! Looking at you like this, I think you're just looking for an excuse to attack me! Are you afraid of my identity?"

"You're too arrogant!" Wei Laofu's eyes widened, "Today, I'll teach you how to respect your elders on the path of martial arts!"

Seeing this, Jiang Ning smiled, but his gaze shifted to the direction of the backyard, where Wei Laofu had come from.

"Who is this? So bold as to dare teach Jiang Brother a lesson!"

A voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Soon, they saw a figure in white, as pure as snow—Bai Luoyu, followed by several others.

These people were his team from the Patrol Office in Dongling City.

Upon seeing the crowd in the backyard, Bai Luoyu snapped open his folding fan with a 'swish' and began fanning himself while wearing a wry smile.

"Patrol Inspector Bai, why are you here?" Liu Xinyi immediately bowed his head.

"Greetings, Patrol Inspector Bai!"

"Greetings, Patrol Inspector Bai!"

"Greetings, Patrol Inspector Bai!"

The Liu family, upon seeing Bai Luoyu, were all shocked. Following Liu Xinyi's greeting, they all bowed.

Bai Luoyu was an unattainably high figure in Dongling City.

He was a figure at the very top of the pyramid.

Not only was he incredibly powerful, but he also held a high position with immense authority.

A single word from Bai Luoyu could determine the rise and fall of an ordinary family in Dongling City.

The Liu family was insignificant in Bai Luoyu's eyes, especially compared to the Patrol Inspector.

They then greeted the several other high-ranking figures who were with Bai Luoyu.

Even though these people were just Bai Luoyu's team, the Liu family still considered them important figures.

Following Bai Luoyu's appearance, Lu Yi also showed up.

At this moment, Wei Laofu felt a sense of inexplicable dread.

The others might not have heard clearly, but he did.

Especially the words 'Jiang Brother,' which he heard very clearly.

His gaze naturally shifted to Jiang Ning.

Then, he saw the exchange of glances between Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu.

"Thank you, Brother Bai, for giving me this face," Jiang Ning smiled slightly.

"It's only natural for me to accept Brother Jiang's invitation," Bai Luoyu waved his folding fan and smiled faintly.

Their simple conversation felt like a whirlwind to the Liu family.

Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu addressed each other as brothers.

When Liu Xinyi heard Bai Luoyu's words earlier, he thought he might have misheard or experienced an auditory hallucination.

But now, hearing the conversation between Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu, he knew he hadn't misheard.

"How is this possible?!" He was filled with disbelief.

Liu Xinyi couldn't help but look at Jiang Ning.

How could someone from a remote county like Jiang Ning be acquainted with the Patrol Inspector? And for Bai Luoyu to address him as a brother, how was this possible?

He still couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Is this Jiang Tongling?" Liu Sansheng was shocked by the scene.

He sighed at his father's actions.

This was supposed to be a great opportunity for the Liu family, a chance to soar, but it had turned into a disaster.

In the past few months working in Luoshui County, the person who left the deepest impression on him was Jiang Ning.

"Young Master!" Lu Yi also came to Jiang Ning's side and spoke softly.

"Well done!" Jiang Ning nodded, then turned his attention back to Bai Luoyu.

Bai Luoyu's appearance at this moment was because Jiang Ning had sent Lu Yi to invite him earlier.

He was well aware that in Dongling City, Bai Luoyu's identity would be very influential.

Jiang Li bringing Liu Wanwan back to the Liu family, regardless of potential conflicts, required Jiang Li's support to elevate his status within the Liu family.

But he also had to consider Liu Wanwan's feelings, as the Liu family was her family.

He couldn't openly cause a scene in the Liu family, making them aware of his strength and showing sufficient respect and importance to Jiang Li.

His identity wasn't enough to make the Liu family fear him and thus treat Jiang Li with utmost respect.

After all, his official position was only an eighth-rank officer.

An eighth-rank official's power was far from enough to change the Liu family's attitude drastically.

Not to mention his official position was in Luoshui County.

His authority didn't extend to Dongling City.

Therefore, on his own, in a peaceful situation, he couldn't provide Jiang Li with much importance or status from the Liu family.

But inviting Bai Luoyu was different.

Bai Luoyu held a sixth-rank official position and was the Patrol Inspector of Dongling Prefecture.

His high position and overwhelming power were undeniable.

Dongling City was Bai Luoyu's territory.

The Liu family was insignificant compared to Bai Luoyu.

Bai Luoyu's intervention and his relationship with Bai Luoyu were enough to make the Liu family's attitude change by 360 degrees.

This was the real reason he invited Bai Luoyu.

But he hadn't expected the Liu family to treat Jiang Li so poorly.

Their words revealed a natural sense of superiority.
