Super War God in the City

Manager Kang felt dazed, his throat bobbing, "I... I'm actually no match for him?"

"This is serious, Manager Kang's arm was broken by this person, how can we just let this go?" The onlookers whispered among themselves.

"It's hard to say, this guy has the Family Head backing him, so he dares to be so arrogant, he must be fearless for a reason!" another pondered.

"Since this guy was appointed by the Family Head as a Guest Official Protector, he must have some real skill, Manager Kang's strength is about the same as an ordinary Elder in the clan, it's understandable that he's no match!

But who would've thought that this person could be so ruthless and heartless, breaking Manager Kang's arm without any hesitation, we better be careful from now on and not fall into the hands of this scourge!" a disciple muttered with a grave expression.

"Yeah, that's right, let's hurry up and leave, don't stand here looking dumb, careful or we might catch their bad luck and invite an unwarranted disaster!" another said sheepishly.

Especially that Manager Kang, by now he must be feeling so frustrated he could vomit blood, if he were to take it out on them, they'd have nowhere to cry.

Everyone thought to themselves and nodded silently, they glanced at Ling Fan and Manager Kang not far away and quickly ran off.

Ling Fan ignored the dark look in Manager Kang's eyes and huffed coldly before heading straight for the palace chambers.

"Oh right, want to tell on me to the Family Head, huh? You can come along too!" Ling Fan mocked, turning around after a few steps.

Having come back to his senses, Manager Kang's face was ashen, and he clenched his teeth: "Just you wait, if the Family Head doesn't deal with you today, I'll kill myself in front of the main hall!"

"Heh, son of a bitch, give you a bit of sunshine and you shine all over, you really fucking think I won't cleanse the clan for the Family Head, motherfucker, either get lost or die!" Ling Fan was furious; this idiot actually dared to tattle.

Manager Kang shivered at these words, a chill running through him, fearfully looking at Ling Fan, whose face was stern.

"Could it be the Family Head's intention? Cleansing the clan? I've been diligent all along, it doesn't seem like I have overstepped anywhere, except for occasionally going against the Family Head's wishes..." Manager Kang was suddenly startled.

"Leave within three breaths or you can stay behind, the Qiao Family surely isn't short of talent for management positions!" Ling Fan said coldly.

Manager Kang's face kept changing; had Qiao Yuchan suddenly introduced this Guest Official Protector to reorganize internal affairs?

His mind was somewhat uncertain. Since the old Family Head passed away a year ago and Qiao Yuchan took over, the internal stability of the Qiao Family had never been very strong!

The Qiao Family was different from other clans, they would bring in sons-in-law, and if a girl was born, she would take her mother's surname, with no one absolutely trustworthy besides a personal protector at their side.

All other Chief Elders, given the chance, could take the position of Family Head; they merely feared Qiao Yuchan's heaven-defying cultivation, otherwise, people like Yu Xinghai would probably have rebelled long ago!

As numerous thoughts flashed through his mind, he felt as if he had grasped something, "It looks like I need to be well-behaved from now on!"

He immediately turned to leave without a word, his face clouded.

"Hold on, be more respectful when you see the Family Head in the future, otherwise, the Qiao Family really wouldn't care about one less person!" Ling Fan said indifferently, watching Manager Kang's retreating figure.

Manager Kang trembled again and left for the Management Hall without turning his head.

"Hmph, all of you, turned your backs on me!" Ling Fan snorted and went straight back to the palace chambers.

In the residence of Yu Xinghai, one of the Three Great Chief Elder Pavilions.

At this moment, an ordinary Elder saw the staggering, pale-faced Cao Teng and asked in surprise, "What happened, who got you into this state?"

Cao Teng's face was gloomy as still water, "Where's Master, damn it, I was injured by some bastard who came out of nowhere, and this guy even said that my master wouldn't be worth shit in front of him!"

The Elder's face turned cold upon hearing that, "What? What's his name? Where is he?"

The questions came in rapid succession, revealing his inner fury.

Among the three major Chief Elders of the Qiao Family, Yu Xinghai had the most ordinary Elders under him, taking up nearly seventy percent of the entire Qiao Family's power and forming a faction of their own.

"Seems to be someone newly appointed by the Family Head as a Guest Official Protector, I've never seen him before, ran into him at the side hall just now!" Cao Teng said through gritted teeth.

The Elder's brow furrowed, "Appointed by the Family Head as a Guest Official Protector? I have heard the lower-ranking disciples discussing it, but haven't heard Manager Kang pass on such information!"

"That's it then, it must be fake. I'll make him pay, where's Master, I need to see Master!" Cao Teng said hatefully.

"Your master has something to do and isn't here, you'll have to wait!" As he spoke, he took out a healing pill and handed it to Cao Teng.

Cao Teng was not polite either, he took the elixir and sat down on the chair, his face an iron blue as he sat there in a very bad mood.

Main hall bedroom.

When Ling Fan came back, he found that Qiao Yuchan had already come out of the secret chamber.

"Where did you go?" Qiao Yuchan asked curiously as she saw Ling Fan come in from outside.

"Nothing, just went for a walk in the side hall and exchanged a few tender feelings with Protector Lei!" Ling Fan chuckled.

Qiao Yuchan looked puzzled, wondering what kind of feelings he could possibly have exchanged with Protector Lei!

"Hehe, you didn't get thrown out, did you?" How could she not know what kind of person Lei Yao was? Exchanging feelings? It would be strange if she didn't kick you out.

Ling Fan laughed lightly, "You don't understand. As fellow protectors, Protector Lei is quite friendly to her own people!"

Qiao Yuchan rolled her eyes. How did you become a protector, don't you have any clue yourself? You adapt so quickly, and you're quite good at playing the role!

Then she stopped paying him attention. "I'm going to cultivate in silence. Do whatever you want!"

Having said that, she got up and went into the inner room.

Ling Fan, with nothing to do, could only wait out the time with cultivation, looking forward to the evening when he would help Qiao Yuchan with her healing.

Time flew by, and before long it was dusk. Qiao Yuchan walked out of the inner room, and Ling Fan too had ended his breathing exercises. Opening his eyes, he saw that the time for the healing was fast approaching.

Just then, a crisp female voice came from outside the door, "Lei Yao seeks an audience!"

Qiao Yuchan was slightly puzzled and wondered what Lei Yao wanted from her. "Come in!"

Lei Yao stood outside the door, her heart somewhat fluttering. She had been hesitating in the side hall for quite a while, and as she watched the sunset, she finally couldn't sit still any longer and came to the main hall.

Seeing Lei Yao enter somewhat reservedly, Qiao Yuchan grew curious. "What's wrong, did something happen?"

Ling Fan sat to the side with a corner of his eye sweeping over Lei Yao, his heart seemed to expect it as he sat there calmly.

Lei Yao looked at Qiao Yuchan and then sneakily glanced at Ling Fan, hesitantly saying, "That ... I'm looking for Protector Ling!"

Qiao Yuchan immediately looked perplexedly from Ling Fan to Lei Yao, her confusion deepening. When did Lei Yao become so gentle and shyly reserved? Also, what was this about instructing in swordsmanship?

Ling Fan looked surprised, "I wonder what Protector Lei is seeking me out for?"

Lei Yao pursed her lips and mustered her courage to speak, "Well ... today you gave some guidance to Ru Shuang on her swordsmanship, could you, perhaps, give me some pointers too?"

Qiao Yuchan watched, gobsmacked on the side. So Lei Yao could also display such a demure young female's demeanor? Moreover, what did she mean about instructing in swordsmanship?

Suddenly, she remembered that the previous day Ling Fan had asked her about the martial arts techniques Lei Yao was cultivating. Could it be that this man also had the capability to deduce martial arts techniques?

Qiao Yuchan became even more baffled. Anyone who could deduce martial arts techniques was no less than a genius with incredible talent, but then it dawned on her; in the dungeon, this man seemed to have also deduced the cultivation techniques she practiced!

"This guy seems quite outstanding, and I've overlooked many of his excellent points!" Qiao Yuchan's gaze towards Ling Fan flickered.

Ling Fan looked up at Lei Yao and pondered, "The last three forms are a bit more difficult. You have been cultivating the Eleventh Form for a long time, and it may not be easy to correct your technique immediately.

When I guide you, there will inevitably be some physical contact. Others might not mind, but I heard that Protector Lei takes the issue of physical contact between men and women very seriously. I'm worried it might lead to misunderstandings, and accidentally provoke Protector Lei!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Yao bit her lip and said with a lowered, blushing voice, "It's all gossip from those below. While it's true that there is a difference between men and women, it depends on the circumstances. I can be modest in my behavior, but normal contact is not something I'm so rigid about!"

Qiao Yuchan felt completely confused, Ling Fan had only been at the Qiao Family for one day, hadn't he? How come Lei Yao's temperament changed so quickly?

Ling Fan nodded, his face becoming serious, "Hmm, it seems I was overthinking it. Then you go back first, I'll come and find you tomorrow morning!"

Lei Yao nodded, her face full of gratitude, "Then I won't disturb the Family Head and Protector Ling from discussing serious matters!"

After finishing her words, she blushed, not daring to look at Qiao Yuchan, and quickly exited the living room with her head lowered!

"Let's go, let's continue with the healing...." Ling Fan stood up and said to the somewhat dazed Qiao Yuchan.
