"You..."

The members of the Fu Family were initially skeptical. Just as they were preparing to act, they saw the gold-embossed invitation Qin Fang had thrown on the table, and their expressions almost entirely froze.

These people were merely family servants of the Fu Family, who typically relied on the family's reputation to act arrogantly outside, and it was rare for anyone to stop them.

Unexpectedly, today they encountered Qin Fang, a fearless young man, and just when they were about to teach him a harsh lesson, they suddenly saw that invitation.

The invitation didn't have anything special, it was merely proof of invitation for guests...

However, Qin Fang's invitation was different because it was sent by the Fu Family, and only a select few could receive such a formal invitation.

The moment these Fu Family members saw the invitation, their faces turned completely green.

If they remembered correctly, only about ten of such invitations were sent out, all to prominent figures, inviting them to be judges for this Sword Martial Arts Tournament.

Qin Fang seemed too young for them to think he was there to judge, but he wasn't alone; an elderly Liu Xianhe was beside him, which made the situation entirely different.

After glancing at the invitation, and then at Qin Fang and Liu Xianhe, and finally taking another look at the unconscious woman behind Qin Fang, the Fu Family members wavered in their decision.

"Gentlemen, I sincerely apologize, we are merely following orders... The woman is wanted by the Family Head; please don't make things difficult for us servants!"

Among the group, a young man who seemed to hold some status stepped forward, greeted Qin Fang and Liu Xianhe respectfully, and then spoke with great reluctance.

It seemed this woman was significant to the Fu Family, warranting such a large group for her capture, yet Qin Fang's scouting skill showed the woman's strength was not even Level 3, just slightly above an average person.

Such a woman being personally ordered to be captured by Fu Qinglin was something nobody would believe.

"Oh, really?"

Qin Fang sneered indifferently, "It's hard to believe you people. I intend to protect this woman today. If the Family Head truly wants to capture her, he should come here himself..."

Initially, Qin Fang didn't want to get involved in this matter, and even Liu Xianhe kept giving him signals, seemingly hoping Qin Fang wouldn't clash with the Fu Family members.

Tangling with these servants felt rather boring to Qin Fang, who thought he would just send them away. But when the woman behind him suddenly moved slightly, Qin Fang sensed something and decided to act accordingly.

"You..."

The young man noticed Liu Xianhe's gaze. In their view, Liu Xianhe was the primary guest invited by the Fu Family. With his signal, they thought Qin Fang would hand the woman over obediently.

Unexpectedly, Qin Fang didn't comply, refusing not only to hand her over but also making such remarks, instantly infuriating the Fu Family members.

Had it not been for the concern that Qin Fang might be an invited guest of the Fu family, they would likely have resorted to forcibly taking the woman already...

"What? Still not leaving...?"

Qin Fang didn't bother with their expressions, speaking harshly.

In Korea, the Fu Family might be impressive, but outside, they were nothing...

Family Head Fu Qinglin was a grandmaster-level expert, and Qin Fang, lacking the current strength, was indeed somewhat wary of him. However, if Fu Qinglin were determined to oppose Qin Fang, Qin Fang wouldn't care if he was a grandmaster-level expert!

Regardless of how formidable Fu Qinglin might be, he was still just a martial artist. Qin Fang didn't believe every grandmaster-level expert was as skilled as the Bloody-handed Demon Tu San in both martial arts and gunmanship.

"Let's go..."

The Fu Family members glared fiercely at Qin Fang, resentment pulsed fiercely within their eyes, ready to erupt at any moment. Yet, after glancing at the gold-embossed invitation still lying on the table, they could only shake their heads, mutter lowly, and immediately turn away.

However, even as they left, many turned back to glare at Qin Fang, attempting to imprint Qin Fang's face into their minds, plotting to exact revenge when the time came.

"Qin Fang... sigh!"

Liu Xianhe watched the departing Fu Family members and glanced at the surrounding spectators, who were terrified, exuding a look of helplessness.

As a Korean and a head of a second-rate family, Liu Xianhe naturally understood what a vast family the Fu Family was. Other families, apart from the Cui Family, didn't even register in his eyes compared to the Fu Family.

Even the head of the fabulously wealthy and influential Li Family of Seven Stars, almost regarded as the uncrowned king in Korea, was respectfully cautious before Fu Qinglin.

As for the specific reasons, Qin Fang may not be very clear, but Liu Xianhe vaguely knows something. It's just that such matters are hard to discern unless you are involved yourself.

The Fu Family is extremely powerful, only the Cui Family can rival them, but after so many years, the Cui Family has never had any apparent advantage, and has always been slightly weaker than the Fu Family.

Otherwise, the Cui Family wouldn't have had to team up with second-rate families to fight against the Fu Family; it's because the Cui Family is slightly weaker...

This has made the Fu Family run rampant in Korea, and Incheon, as the Fu Family's base, shows their strong and domineering presence without reservation.

In Liu Xianhe's opinion, Qin Fang, a foreigner, openly confronting the Fu Family on their turf is really not a wise move.

"Miss, the crisis has been resolved, you can leave now..."

But Qin Fang seemed indifferent, ignoring Liu Xianhe's concern, and turned his back on the passed-out beauty, saying calmly.

"Uh..."

Liu Xianhe was momentarily puzzled, looking at the woman on Qin Fang's back with some surprise. The situation just now had indeed knocked her out, and she seemed miserable. Had she woken up so soon?

The woman on Qin Fang's back remained still, but after a moment, she seemed to realize she wasn't being considerate, and quietly climbed up, showing a slightly embarrassed look on her pale, delicate face.

"Thank you..."

After hesitating for a moment, the beauty still apologized softly to Qin Fang.

"No need to thank me. You can take away the thing in my pocket... I don't want to save someone and then get tricked..."

Qin Fang didn't even turn his head, nor did he look at the beauty, but said in an extremely calm tone, as if joking, which made the woman's face change instantly.

"How do you...how did you know?"

The woman was shocked, her face turning pale, and her gaze at Qin Fang showed some fear...

Earlier, when she acted, she was very subtle and gentle, even an average grandmaster-level expert might not notice.

Moreover, the item was placed into a small pocket of Qin Fang's, which he didn't usually use, so ordinary people wouldn't even detect it. But Qin Fang revealed it with a single sentence; how could it not terrify her?

"You don't need to ask how I know. This item is yours, so take it back..."

Qin Fang smiled gently, took out the item from the pocket, and returned it to the mysterious woman.

The woman had placed a stone in Qin Fang's pocket, which was actually a gemstone, a blood-red gemstone, looking incredibly translucent and seemingly valuable.

But this was not something Qin Fang cared about. A gemstone was merely expensive, but held no significance for Qin Fang, merely increasing his bank account balance.

But this stone couldn't stay with Qin Fang, he even had to keep a respectful distance from it...

"Miss, I advise you to throw this thing away; otherwise, you'll regret it one day..."

While tossing the blood-red stone back to the woman, Qin Fang kindly reminded her.

Whether the woman knew what this stone was, Qin Fang was not very clear, but Qin Fang himself had already found out.

This blood-red stone isn't actually a gemstone but a crystallization of blood, specifically formed after cultivating extremely sinister heretic dao divine skills.

It bears some resemblance to the legendary Demonic Emperor's Relic, but this crystallization has none of the aura of the relic, instead, it exudes wicked qi.

The woman placing this item into Qin Fang's pocket was done very discreetly. If Qin Fang were an ordinary person, he might not notice anything unusual about the stone.

But Qin Fang himself is a master-level peak expert, with extremely strong senses for various qi; he discovered it almost immediately when the stone fell into his pocket, which is why he changed plans and dispatched the men from the Fu Family...

"Who exactly are you?"

The woman became very vigilant. Although Qin Fang saved her, his presence now seemed even more dangerous than those from the Fu Family.

Especially regarding the stone; very few people know its secret. But from Qin Fang's expression, he seems to know quite a bit, which made her face change.

At the same time, the woman felt very strange inside...

Because Qin Fang, knowing the special nature of this stone, wasn't tempted at all; he immediately returned it to her, even acting as if he wanted the stone to be as far away from him as possible...
