42: Chapter 42 Trouble Comes Knocking

The top floor.

"Miss, something is wrong..." A maid in white clothes hurriedly pushed open the door and entered, her face full of panic.

"Hmm? Didn't I tell you to invite the distinguished guest to wait in the VIP room? Why are you back?"

A young girl in a moon-colored robe spoke indifferently, her voice containing a hint of authority.

"I'm sorry, Miss. As soon as I reached the hall, I saw Young Master Han Gang having a conflict with the distinguished guest over a blue water stone."

"Young Master Han Gang's wrist was snapped by the guest. Now the guards are surrounding him, and a large crowd has gathered."

The white-clothed maid said anxiously.

"Oh?" The girl in the moon-colored robe questioned. A smile played at the corners of her mouth, revealing a hint of interest.

In Tianbei City, someone actually dared to provoke a member of the Han Family. It had to be said that the identity of that mysterious guest had caught her attention.

"Let's go down and take a look!" The girl in the moon-colored robe stood up, her exquisite curves showing, her black hair falling to her waist.

Her steps were like lotus flowers as she swayed her slender waist and walked out the door.

In the hall, the standoff continued.

"Kid, you dare to get close to the woman I've set my sights on? You're looking for death!"

Suddenly, Han Gang's cold voice rang in Hun Tiandi's ears. His originally handsome face had become distorted and venomous.

"Woman? Han Xue?" Hearing this, Hun Tiandi's eyes were filled with confusion, and then he spoke a woman's name with uncertainty.

"That's right, Han Xue is the woman I've set my sights on..." Han Gang was fuming with rage.

Although there was a difference in seniority between them and Han Gang was a distant relative of Han Xue, from the first moment he came to the Han Family and saw Han Xue, he had made up his mind that he would marry no one but her.

"So that's how it is. Back at the city gate, the reason he chose to leave was that he saw Han Gang's feelings for Han Xue. That was the reason he chose to leave."

"I didn't expect that trouble would find its way to me after all."

Hun Tiandi gave a bitter smile. Today, Han Gang had come to Xueyue Medicine Pavilion to deliberately provoke him.

Catching a glimpse of the beautiful figure at the top of the stairs out of the corner of his eye, he immediately made a forceful response.

"You want this stone?" Hun Tiandi spoke indifferently, reaching out his right hand toward Han Gang. In his palm was the blue water stone.

"Sigh, the youth in green robes has indeed compromised and handed over the blue water stone he bought..."

"It makes sense. With the Han Family's power, dealing with a youth in secret is an easy task..."

"At least you're sensible."

Han Gang smiled triumphantly and reached out to grab the item from the green-robed youth's hand.

The girl in the moon-colored robe upstairs watched this scene, her heart filled with doubt.

Earlier, he had such a tough attitude; why did he suddenly turn soft?

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, Han Gang shouted sharply because his hand had been grabbed by the youth like a steel pincer.

Hun Tiandi grinned. The kind smile before him appeared like a demon from hell in Han Gang's eyes, hideous and evil.

He threw a punch, striking Han Gang's chest.

Ah...

Han Gang let out a scream as his body flew backward. Before the guards beside him could react, a streak of green lightning dashed forward. His fist techniques fell like raindrops, containing double Hidden Force, all of which were hammered into Han Gang's body.

Puchi!

With a loud boom, Han Gang's body slammed heavily onto the ground, causing the counter beneath him to collapse.

The Hidden Force inside him erupted, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale, and he was left dazed from the fall.

"You..." Han Gang said venomously, his finger trembling as he pointed at Hun Tiandi.

"Presumptuous!" Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed through the hall of the Xueyue Medicine Pavilion, like a heavenly tribulation, containing a hint of kingly majesty.

The onlookers in the hall were filled with shock.

That furious show of power must be an expert from behind the Medicine Pavilion, acting to prevent anyone from making trouble.

Humph!

Suddenly, Hun Tiandi's thin body shook violently as an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky, landing on him.

With his hands behind his back, a crimson sword talisman appeared in the palm of his hand hidden within his sleeve.

This crimson sword talisman was one of the two treasures bestowed upon him when he became a disciple of Pavilion Master Tang Ying.

It was also Hun Tiandi's trump card. Unless absolutely necessary, he would never use it.

Sou...!

In the air of the hall, a white-haired old man with Dou Qi wings appeared. He was not tall, with a hunched body, an aged face, and withered arms.

"Elder Han, a peak Nine-star Dou Huang!"

He was also one of the few such existences in the Han Family, usually stationed at the Xueyue Medicine Pavilion to maintain security.

Previously, in Ten Thousand Snake Gorge, Commander Xia Qing had taken a liking to Han Xue and wanted to kidnap her. Han Tian had announced the name of the Tianbei City Han Family.

He had hoped to make Commander Xia Qing retreat out of fear, but unfortunately, Commander Xia Qing was not intimidated.

"Young man, it has been many years since anyone dared to make trouble in the Xueyue Medicine Pavilion."

Elder Han, standing in the air, had eyes that were cold and gloomy, and his voice was low and raspy.

"That's because you hadn't met me. Now that I'm here..."

Hun Tiandi showed no fear at all. His tone was blunt, giving this Dou Huang expert no face whatsoever.

"He's crazy, truly crazy. To dare provoke Elder Han, no one can save him now."

"Maybe not. The green-robed youth is so fearless, perhaps the power behind him has a deep background."

Whispers echoed in the hall. Elder Han's face was grim as his gaze fixed on Hun Tiandi. This was also the reason he hadn't made a move yet.

"What courage." Han Yue, at the top of the stairs, raised an eyebrow.

"Old thing, when this Young Master Han Gang was trying to snatch my items earlier, why didn't you come out to stop him when I first bought the blue water stone?"

"Now that someone from your Han Family is injured, you roll out to stop it just to show off? Back down!"

"Furthermore, I don't like looking up at others. Get down here!"

Hun Tiandi barked. As his words fell, with a thought, a wisp of Dou Qi poured into the crimson sword talisman. A vast and sharp sword intent rose from his body, instantly tearing through Elder Han's Dou Huang aura.

A majestic power ravaged the space.

"Dou Sheng aura?" Elder Han's face changed drastically. His body fell uncontrollably toward the ground, and a huge wave of shock rose in his heart. This youth's background was truly extraordinary.

He actually carried a treasure bestowed by a Dou Sheng expert.

"Little friend, please do not be angry. Let's talk this out!" Elder Han retracted his Dou Qi wings and cupped his hands in a polite gesture, revealing a strained smile.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi also withdrew the aura of the sword talisman.

Clap, clap!

Suddenly, a burst of applause rang out from the stairs. The silent crowd's eyes all converged on the staircase.

A pair of long, snowy-white legs stimulated everyone present.

"Those legs..." Hun Tiandi evaluated in his mind. His will was resilient; after only a brief moment of distraction, he withdrew his gaze.

Unlike the others, who were like bulls in heat, with greed showing in their eyes.

The girl wore a moon-colored robe, noble and gorgeous, which perfectly outlined her wonderful curves.

Her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, was cinched with a white belt.

"Distinguished guest, my name is Han Yue. This time it was the fault of my Xueyue Medicine Pavilion. Please do not be angry; we will give you a satisfactory explanation!"

Han Yue bowed slightly, her gentle voice carrying a hint of decisiveness.

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly without speaking. He had entered the Xueyue Medicine Pavilion this time to buy necessary materials and did not wish to provoke others.

"Old Han, take him away and lock him up. Put him in solitary confinement for a year!" Han Yue turned and said to Elder Han.

"Yes, Miss!" Elder Han replied, then picked up Han Gang and left.

"Everyone, the show is over. Please disperse!" Han Yue said to the gathered crowd.

"Distinguished guest, please come to the VIP room for a detailed discussion!"

Han Yue made an inviting gesture. Hun Tiandi nodded and stepped forward.

Today's events would likely spread through the entire Tianbei City at an alarming speed.

A mysterious green-robed youth had used terrifying means to block the might of the Xueyue Medicine Pavilion and even injured Young Master Han Gang.

Even Elder Han, the Nine-star Dou Huang who guarded the pavilion, had bowed respectfully.
