34: Chapter 34 A Request

The surrounding guests were once again in an uproar when they heard Zhang Bufan.

“Is there something wrong with this kid’s brain?”

“He’s too arrogant. I can’t stand it.”

“Perhaps he has real abilities?”

“Could this kid be from another major power?”

“Not necessarily. I guess he’s a Cultivator who came out of the mountains. Look at his Spirit Pet; it looks like it hasn’t eaten in its last life.”

“No matter what, there’s a good show to watch now. The Jiang Family will definitely not let him off easy.”

Ye Xiaodong’s face was so gloomy it looked like water was about to drip from it. He didn’t say any harsh words but directly punched Zhang Bufan in the face.

The best counterattack now was to first knock Zhang Bufan down; otherwise, no matter how many harsh words were said, they would be pale and powerless.

Fire Tianming also made his move. Since Zhang Bufan had spoken, he couldn’t let Ye Xiaodong take all the credit.

Zhang Bufan’s lips curved into an arc. He simply waved his hand and slapped both of them.

“Slap!”

“Slap!”

Ye Xiaodong and Fire Tianming didn’t even know what had happened. They just felt their vision go black, and then their entire bodies flew out.

Bang!

Bang!

A middle-aged man was watching with great interest, just about to pick up a piece of meat to put in his mouth, when he saw a black shadow fall from the sky, smashing a table of wine and dishes to smithereens.

“You…” Ye Xiaodong didn’t even finish a sentence before he fainted.

Huo Tianyun wasn’t much better. His entire jaw was crooked, teeth scattered all over the floor, and his eyes rolled back as he also passed out.

Fortunately, Zhang Bufan didn’t deliver a fatal blow; otherwise, these two wouldn’t have survived.

He was here today to seek revenge on the Jiang Family. In the end, these two were just the Jiang Family’s thugs. Zhang Bufan felt it would dirty his hands to kill them.

Zhang Bufan glanced at the people on the high platform. He didn’t want to waste any more time, so he flew over directly and landed in front of Jiang Kun.

Jiang Kun’s face changed drastically, and he rapidly retreated. Zhang Bufan could knock out Ye Xiaodong with a single slap, and Jiang Kun admitted he was no match.

Zhang Bufan looked at Jiang Kun with disdain, then turned his gaze to the bride wearing the red veil.

He always felt a familiar sensation from this bride. Since he was here to cause trouble anyway, and he was genuinely curious.

“Should I lift it and see?”

“Chirp chirp chirp!” Baldy also chirped.

Zhang Bufan also hesitated, then took a step and arrived in front of Fire Qingrou. With a casual pull, he ripped off the red veil.

When he saw the person inside, Zhang Bufan was stunned. “How is it you?”

Fire Qingrou looked at Zhang Bufan blankly, biting her red lips, not saying a word.

“Um… haha, I didn’t know you were getting married today.” Zhang Bufan was a bit awkward. He was curious to see the bride but didn’t expect it to be an old acquaintance.

Fire Qingrou looked at Zhang Bufan, tears already welling up in her eyes. No one knew how desperate and helpless she was beneath the red veil, unable even to commit suicide.

Now, seeing Zhang Bufan standing before her, for some reason, the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back. They instantly streamed down, dripping onto the ground.

“Can you take me away?” Fire Qingrou asked in a hoarse voice. She had no real relationship with Zhang Bufan; in fact, they had quite a few conflicts, and she had even pursued him with a sword. But at this moment, Fire Qingrou had truly reached a dead end. She could only ask for help.

Fire Qingrou knew that Zhang Bufan was very powerful, at least not weaker than her grandfather. If he was willing to help, then she might be able to escape with her grandfather today.

This was her only chance. If she wasn’t worried about her grandfather, Fire Qingrou would have ended her own life long ago.

Jiang Kun had clearly seen this point, which was why he threatened her with Fire Ru Lie’s life.

At this moment, Fire Qingrou’s gaze towards Zhang Bufan was very complex, and her heart began to pound violently. Her life or death depended on Zhang Bufan.

Speaking of which, Fire Qingrou wasn’t sure why Zhang Bufan appeared here, but she was certain that Zhang Bufan wasn’t here for her, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so shocked when he first saw her.

“Grandfather, kill him for me.” Although Jiang Kun was furious, he hadn’t lost his mind. Zhang Bufan’s powerful strength made him dare not approach.

Jiang Honglin stood up, looked at Zhang Bufan, and said with a gloomy face, “Who are you, and from what power are you? Why are you here to cause trouble at my Jiang Family?”

If he couldn’t discern Zhang Bufan’s Realm, nor understand Zhang Bufan’s background, Jiang Honglin would have already made his move.

Zhang Bufan looked only in his early twenties, but his easy defeat of Ye Xiaodong and Huo Tianyun was enough to prove that his strength was at least in the Yu Ling Realm.

Such a young Yu Ling Realm Cultivator! Jiang Honglin was incredibly shocked. He planned to test Zhang Bufan’s true strength first, lest Zhang Bufan’s background be too great and bring disaster to his Jiang Family.

His Jiang Family was now the dominant power in Qingyang County, but in the entire Eastern Region, it was nothing at all.

Zhang Bufan listened to Fire Qingrou’s words and combined them with her expression, finally understanding some things.

Holy cow, so this was a forced marriage.

When encountering such a situation, and with it being an acquaintance, Zhang Bufan naturally couldn’t sit idly by. Just as he was about to speak, the System spoke.

“Host, do you want to snatch the bride now?”

“Nonsense! Since I’ve encountered something like this, how can I ignore it? Forcibly snatching a virtuous woman in broad daylight—is there any justice left?” Zhang Bufan replied excitedly. Thinking about snatching the bride soon, he felt an inexplicable excitement.

“Now that Fire Qingrou is asking for your help, you can take the opportunity to establish a relationship with her. Won’t the mission then be fulfilled?”

“But wouldn’t taking advantage of someone like this be a bit too much?”

“If you still want her to chase and kill you with a long sword, then suit yourself.” After the System finished speaking, it fell silent.

Zhang Bufan remembered Fire Qingrou’s murderous appearance, wielding a long sword, and his heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

“It’s not impossible to take you away, but…” Zhang Bufan’s face showed a mischievous smile as he whispered.

“But what?” Hope flashed in Fire Qingrou’s eyes, and she quickly asked.

“Never mind, now’s not the time. I still have something to deal with.” After a pause, Zhang Bufan said seriously, “I can take you away, but afterward, I require you to unconditionally agree to one of my requests.”

Fire Qingrou’s heart filled with joy, and then she suddenly thought of something, a blush appearing on her cheeks. She bit her lip and said, “As long as you take both me and my grandfather away, then I can agree to your request.”

Zhang Bufan didn’t notice the change in Fire Qingrou’s expression. He nodded, “No problem. You go wait on the side first; I’ll handle something.”

“Young man, are you not going to give me an explanation?” Jiang Honglin saw that Zhang Bufan completely ignored him. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his tone involuntarily grew heavier.
