"Okay, okay, stop arguing, you two. Let's leave here first." Bai Zhiqing said, trying to smooth things over.

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing's words, Xue Man snorted coldly, gave Lu Tianxing a glare, and said, "Humph, Lu Tianxing, this time I will be merciful and let you off."

"Same goes for me."

Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes, looked at Qin Fang'an, and said, "Director Qin, may we leave now?"

"Yes... yes, Third Young Master, as you please."

Qin Fang'an nodded quickly, hoping Lu Tianxing, this troublesome star, would go as far away as possible. As for keeping Lu Tianxing here, he wouldn't dare to risk it.

Lu Tianxing glanced at Qin Fang'an, said nothing more, and led Bai Zhiqing and the others out.

After Lu Tianxing and the others left, Qin Fang'an breathed a sigh of relief and sat heavily in his chair, only feeling a chill on his back. He had finally sent off this troublemaker.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Fang'an looked at the unconscious Fang Heng, sighed, called in a policeman to help send Fang Heng to the hospital. After a moment of silence, he picked up his phone and dialed Fang Yaowu's number, Fang Heng's father. He needed to explain things, after all, he wanted to maintain a position in Jinling, where Fang Yaowu held a higher rank.

After leaving the police station, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing got straight into the car, started it, and drove away.

"Tianxing, you crippled that guy today, are you sure there won't be any backlash?" Lin Qianru said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Qian Ru."

Before Lu Tianxing could speak, Xue Man chimed in, "Qian Ru, don't forget who this guy is, the dignified Third Young Master of the Lu Family. In Jiangnan, they're a dominant force, like a duke in ancient times. Forget about hitting people; he could even abduct women on the street with impunity. So, don't worry."

Lu Tianxing's face turned grim hearing Xue Man's words. What does she mean by abducting women? Is he such a person?

"Minister Xue, can't you wish me good things?"

"I do want to wish you well, but honestly, I can't. However, I must say, Lu Tianxing, your style today is quite something. Seeing your shiny bald head makes my hands itch, wishing I could knock on it twice to see if this bald watermelon has ripened."

Xue Man's eyes glowed as she watched Lu Tianxing, rubbing her fists enthusiastically, as if she really intended to strike a blow.

Upon hearing Xue Man's words, Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes, feeling extremely frustrated. Although his injuries were mostly healed under the repair of the Creation Source Technique, his hair just wouldn't grow back. During this time spent with Bai Zhiqing, many people kept staring at his head.

Seeing Lu Tianxing deflated, Lin Qianru and Bai Zhiqing couldn't help but laugh, saying nothing more, while the three women started chatting excitedly about recent fun events.

...

Meanwhile, as Lu Tianxing reached Jinling, in a quiet tea house box in Suzhou, Yang Tiansi from the Yang Family and Jiang Haochen were leisurely sipping tea.

"Brother Yang, I suppose you didn't just invite me for tea today, did you?" Jiang Haochen said, taking a sip of tea and gazing absently out of the window.

"Haha, of course not. I think it's about time our two families joined forces." Yang Tiansi replied with a smile.

"Join forces?"

Jiang Haochen's eyes flashed, his voice remaining calm, "Brother Yang, what do you mean by this? It seems there's not much chance for our Jiang Family to partner with your Yang Family, given that your family is vast and powerful. We're at best a relatively larger ant to your family, lacking necessity."

Yang Tiansi heard Jiang Haochen's words and his demeanor didn't change, responding, "Brother Jiang, if I'm not mistaken, it seems Lu Tianxing recently broke into your Jiang Family, crippled your cousin, rescued the woman you fancied, and disrespected your family. Don't you want revenge?"

Upon Yang Tiansi's words, a murderous intent flashed in Jiang Haochen's eyes. It was the biggest humiliation of his life, an incident making him a joke within Jiangnan, with many mocking him and rumors claiming Lu Tianxing had cuckolded him, filling him with the desire for revenge.

Yet he was keenly aware that to confront Lu Tianxing, unless fully assured of killing him silently, the Jiang Family would face the Lu Family's and Lu Tianxing's relentless retaliation, leading to ruin--hence the necessity to endure.

Yang Tiansi saw the sinister look on Jiang Haochen's face and smiled: "Brother Jiang, it seems you truly hate Lu Tianxing. Imagine him kneeling before you one day, begging for mercy. Wouldn't that feel good?"

Jiang Haochen suppressed the killing intent in his heart, regained his composure, and said with a faint smile, "This would indeed feel good, Brother Yang. But don't forget, the Lu Family includes Old Master Lu, and remember the scene when Old Master Lu stormed your Yang Family twenty years ago. If you act against Lu Tianxing now, can you bear the consequences?"

"Such consequences are indeed beyond our Yang Family. But if that old man of the Lu Family dies in the next few days?" Yang Tiansi said blandly.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing Yang Tiansi's words, Jiang Haochen's expression changed, emotions stirred, and his tea cup shattered in his hand: "Brother Yang, are you not deceiving me?"

"Brother Jiang, is there any gain in deceiving you? I can ensure that within these next few days, that old thing from the Lu Family will certainly meet his end. Then, Lu Tianxing will be at our mercy, and not only him but his women will be ours too. I'm eager to taste the delights of his women."

Yang Tiansi's voice carried a hint of malice, with greed and fervor in his eyes. Despite wanting to kill Lu Tianxing, he couldn't deny the allure of Lu Tianxing's stunning women, which seemed tantalizing, especially witnessing Lu Tianxing's struggle and humiliation would be most satisfying.

Jiang Haochen, upon hearing Yang Tiansi's words, didn't respond immediately, his expression flickering with uncertainty, pondering the truth in Yang Tiansi's words. If Old Master Lu were indeed dead, destroying the Lu Family would be easy. But if the news were false, it'd spell disaster for the Jiang Family, with no defense against such a formidable 'Earthly Immortal', possibly already undefeatable.

Though external rumors claimed Old Master Lu's life would end soon, there was no definitive timeline, unsure if this was the Lu Family's smokescreen baiting adversaries.
