Super War God in the City

At this time, Qiao Yuchan had already removed her veil and was leading Ling Fan up the stairs.

Ling Fan sensed the strands of Spiritual Energy lingering around Wuhua Peak and nodded in admiration, "The Qiao Family's location is so much better than the Miao Family's. You can actually vaguely sense the presence of Spiritual Energy!"

"Of course, did you think that being ranked sixth among the Heavenly Vein wouldn't come with some perks? The strong are revered, and with strength, you naturally occupy better resources. The resources of the top three Heavenly Vein Families are even better!" Qiao Yuchan explained.

Ling Fan nodded, showing he understood.

As they spoke, the two of them had already walked side-by-side up the lengthy stone staircase. The Qiao Family, unlike the Miao Family, directly occupied an entire peak. The layout was more majestic and grandiose; if you didn't know better, you might think you had entered a sect!

The two's arrival had left the Qiao Family Disciples utterly dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Who's that man with the Family Head? Why is he walking alongside the Family Head?" A common disciple rubbed his eyes hard in shock.

In the Qiao Family, Qiao Yuchan was akin to a goddess, and ordinary disciples wouldn't dare to lift their heads to meet her gaze when they encountered her face-to-face, instead, they would bow their heads in greeting.

Furthermore, Qiao Yuchan had countless suitors. Many esteemed scions of the Heavenly Vein Families saw her as their ultimate goal, the companion of their dreams.

But Qiao Yuchan had never looked directly at any male, no matter how talented they were. Even if you were from the top three Heavenly Vein Families, it was useless. Her icy and goddess-like demeanor was unmatched in the world!

Another disciple opened his mouth wide, "Isn't the Family Head known for detesting males? Why is she so close to this person, even whispering with him?"

"This is a big deal, the Family Head is actually willing to interact with a male. Who on earth is this guy? Could he possibly be even more remarkable than the Three Great Heavenly Vein Families?" The Qiao Family Disciples began discussing privately.

"It seems your Qiao Family Disciples don't welcome me very much!" Ling Fan sensed the surrounding gazes and said teasingly.

"Is that so?" Qiao Yuchan immediately turned her head to look around, and with a cold huff,

Instantly all the disciples around fell silent like cicadas in winter, standing still with their heads bowed. Stay tuned for updates on empire

"I generally dislike the males who pursue me, so the family's disciples know my temperament. Seeing your unfamiliar face today, it's natural for them to feel hostile!" Qiao Yuchan said indifferently.

"We'll reach the Main Palace shortly, it's my private residence!"

Shortly after, Ling Fan saw a majestic and imposing palace building. The palace was situated halfway up the mountain, sometimes shrouded in clouds and mist, resembling the abode of immortals.

"Follow me into the palace, so we can discuss the matter of you helping me recover!" Qiao Yuchan spoke softly.

Ling Fan nodded, without thinking too much, and followed Qiao Yuchan straight into the interior of the residence.

This scene was witnessed by several Qiao Family Disciples and instantly caused an uproar.

Qiao Yuchan bringing back a strange man and leading him into her private residence spread like a tidal wave across Wuhua Peak.

At this time, in a side hall of Wuhua Peak.

"Master, it seems something has happened!" A stunningly beautiful girl burst in anxiously.

"Ru Shuang, what's the matter that you're so flustered? Did another Noble House genius come to request an audience with the Family Head?" A strikingly attractive and charming woman with furrowed brows said.

The beautiful girl who had rushed in, Bei Rushuang, was her closed-door disciple. This girl was usually quite stable, so what had made her so rash today?

"Master.... Master, I'm afraid it's more serious than that!" Bei Rushuang said with wide eyes and sheepishly.

"Hmm? Speak clearly, what exactly has happened?" The beautiful woman said sternly.

Bei Rushuang calmed her emotions and chose her words carefully, "I heard from the family's disciples outside that they're all talking about... about the Head of the Family bringing back a strange man!"

The young girl glanced at her stunningly beautiful master with a hint of nervousness in her heart. Her master was the personal protector of the Head of the Qiao Family, named Lei Yao. Despite her beautiful appearance, she had a fiery temper, and there was no one in the entire Qiao Family who did not fear her.

"A stranger? Do you know which noble house's son he might be?" Lei Yao pondered.

As far as she knew, the Family Head had never had any contact with people of the opposite sex, let alone brought one back home.

"No... I don't know him, and I didn't see him myself, but I heard... that the Family Head brought him into the bedroom..." Bei Rushuang's voice grew fainter as she spoke.

"Oh, into the bedroom..."

Immediately, Lei Yao's expression changed drastically, "What did you say?"

Bei Rushuang was also a little afraid of her master's temper and said weakly, "I heard it from the disciples outside, I don't know if it's true or not!"

Lei Yao's face was suddenly filled with murderous intent, "I'll go and see for myself. If anyone dares to spread rumors and taint the Family Head's reputation, I'll see if I don't cut out their tongues!"

Bei Rushuang's body trembled, and she immediately shut her mouth. Although she knew her master wouldn't do anything to her, her heart still quivered.

Lei Yao gave her disciple a sideways glance, "Wait here. If I find out this is a lie, and you've been spreading false rumors in the middle, I'll see how I punish you!"

With that, Lei Yao moved and immediately left the side hall, heading straight for the Family Head's Main Palace.

Bei Rushuang let out a sigh of relief and then patted her full chest. With a quick roll of her eyes, she also headed in the direction of the Main Palace bedroom.

At this moment, it wasn't just Lei Yao who was alarmed. The Management Hall was in an uproar as well.

"Manager Kang, something has happened. The disciples outside have gone mad, and it's all abuzz. They're saying the Family Head has brought back a strange man, and not just that, but also took him into the bedroom!" an anxious disciple immediately reported to Kang Zuo.

Kang Zuo, who was meditating on a mat, suddenly opened his eyes and leapt up, "What did you say? If you're spreading nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart. Not even I am qualified to enter the Family Head's bedroom. Only Protector Lei has free access. How could the Family Head possibly bring a strange man inside?"

The disciple was immediately at a loss for words, "This... it's being talked about throughout the Qiao Family, it must be true, right...?"

"Hmph, wait until I check for myself. If someone has dared to spread malicious rumors, I'll see how I punish these bastards. To defame the Family Head's reputation, they must be tired of living!" Kang Zuo snorted coldly, also rising to hurry towards the Main Palace.

"Look quickly, isn't that Manager Kang? It seems he's heading towards the Main Palace!" one disciple muttered.

"Just now, I think I also saw Protector Lei going there. It's a pity our status doesn't allow us to enter the area of the Main Palace, otherwise we'd go have a look too!" another Qiao Family Disciple sighed.

"Never mind, I see several elite disciples of the family seem to have run over there. I even saw Bei Rushuang with my own eyes. Soon enough, there will surely be news coming!" another disciple spoke up.

By this time, Lei Yao had already arrived at the entrance door of the bedroom. Seeing that several elite disciples of the family had gathered far outside the bedroom, she immediately walked over with a stern face.

Seeing Lei Yao, the disciples' hearts jolted in panic, and they were about to clear a path!

"Stop right there. What are you several doing gathered here? What, were you the ones spreading the rumors just now?" Lei Yao snorted coldly.

The disciples trembled, their faces filled with distress, "Lei... Protector Lei, we saw with our own eyes, we didn't... make up any rumors!"

These people wouldn't dare fabricate stories; with Lei Yao's temper, wouldn't she skin them alive?

Lei Yao eyed them coldly, "All of you stand right there for me. Wait until I come out, and then I'll see how I deal with you several!"

Having said this, she stepped toward the bedroom door, her mind full of doubts and curiosity, "Could it be true? How is that possible, who could this person be, who would make the Family Head risk his reputation by bringing him into the bedroom!"

Lei Yao stepped through the great doors of the bedroom, carrying a heart full of curiosity and questions.

The disciples standing by the side looked on with bitter faces, wishing they hadn't stayed around to gawk!
