"Hahaha, you're speaking up for me?" Luo Junjie scoffed. "Do you fancy me for my suave and handsome looks, trying to curry my favor on purpose?"

"Take a good look at yourself in the mirror at that atrocious face; would I ever fall for scum like you?" Yan Ruyu laughed in extreme anger.

"There's no need to deny it. If you want, I can give you that opportunity," Luo Junjie laughed loudly, his eyes filled with greed as he looked at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu, true to her name, was a beauty like fine jade. Faced with such a heavenly beauty, Luo Junjie naturally harbored covetous thoughts.

"Get lost!" Lin Ying finally spoke up, unable to tolerate Luo Junjie's vulgar and offensive language any longer.

"What did you say?" Luo Junjie's face was full of disbelief. "Do you know who I am, and you dare tell me to get lost?!"

"Do you believe that I can ruin you all, leaving you too embarrassed to show your faces?" Luo Junjie said coldly.

"Heh." Lin Ying laughed coldly. "Do you believe that I can kill you right now!"

"You need to understand, you are now my prisoners; how dare you act so brazenly?" Luo Junjie said angrily.

"Die!"

Lin Ying suddenly erupted into action, kicking a rusty piece of rebar on the ground towards Luo Junjie's head.

"What!"

As Lin Ying launched her deadly attack, Luo Junjie turned pale with fear, a sense of impending death looming over him.

"Bang!"

Just as Luo Junjie's head was about to be smashed, a large hand appeared in front of him, catching the steel bar that was hurtling through the air.

This person was a beardless old man, his face covered with wrinkles, clearly an antique figure of great age.

"Even if I can't defeat the three of you, don't provoke me, otherwise, I will fight to the bitter end!" Lin Ying said coldly.

In truth, even though they were imprisoned here, they had not suffered any indignities; these strong men seemed to know her identity and were wary of her.

If it wasn't for Ye Chen's impending arrival, Lin Ying would have fought back long ago. Even if she had to die, she wouldn't tolerate such humiliation. Even in death, she would tear flesh from her adversaries.

"We have no intention of being your enemy, Miss Lin, please calm down," the elder said.

Lin Ying was a disciple of the Dragon Head; to become enemies with her was to oppose the Dragon Head himself. Who in the world would dare provoke the Dragon Head?

"I suggest that you better release us. I can pretend as if nothing has happened," Lin Ying said coldly. "My master is stationed in this land, ready to detect any peril I face and arrive to slay you."

A great change was about to come to this world, with the emergence of the powerful caves and dens. Soon, countless heroes would gather; even if the Three Kings dominated the Peak Group, it would require the Dragon Head's personal presence.

The old man knew that everything Lin Ying was saying was true; he dared not push Lin Ying too far.

"I will release you, but not now," the elder said.

"Granduncle Qingren, we can't let them go!" Luo Junjie panicked.

"Luo Junjie, come with me," Luo Qingren ordered.

Luo Junjie was startled, sensing the displeasure of the granduncle, and immediately followed Luo Qingren, not daring to be presumptuous any longer.

"What kind of people are these? How are they so strong? During the fight, I saw one of them bring down a brick wall with a single punch!"

Yan Ruyu couldn't hide the shock in her eyes as she looked at the figures in the distance.

"They are the Luo Family's granduncles, all Grandmaster level experts!" Lin Ying said.

Miss Lin now belonged to the Dragon Group, handling numerous top-secret documents and familiar with all the world's mightiest like the back of her hand.

"You can't beat them?" Yan Ruyu asked.

She knew Lin Ying was highly skilled, but once the few behind Luo Junjie stepped in, Lin Ying seemed like a mouse that had seen a cat.

"Those three, all Grandmaster level figures; two at Mid Grandmaster Stage, each one stronger than me!"

"And that most terrifying third person, a Qingyun elite, who could kill me as if swatting a fly!" Lin Ying said with a heavy voice.

What Lin Ying feared most was Luo Qingtian, the elder patriarch of the Luo Family, a peerless figure ranked thirty-ninth among Qingyun.

"They are so formidable, can Ye Chen defeat them when he comes?" Li Yan asked.

Li Yan didn't understand Grandmasters, let alone Qingyun, she just wanted to know if Ye Chen could defeat these people.

"I don't know!"

Lin Ying shook her head; even if she had complete trust in Ye Chen, the opposition, after all, included a figure from Qingyun!

"..."

If Lin Ying said she didn't know, then there was probably not much hope.

"I've said it, don't hold out any hope for that scoundrel!" Yan Ruyu also sounded somewhat disheartened.

"However, Ye Chen has fought countless fights and seems to have never lost. He should be able to rescue us!"

Seeing the two women's despondence, Lin Ying added a sentence.

"I believe in him!" Li Yan had an inexplicable confidence in Ye Chen.

"That guy is nothing but a rogue who loves to take advantage of others; is he really that powerful?" Yan Ruyu recalled Ye Chen's contemptible behavior.

...

"The three esteemed elders, are we just confining these three women and doing nothing else?" Luo Junjie was somewhat unwilling to say.

"Miss Lin has great connections; we cannot afford to offend her!" Luo Qingtian said.

Luo Qingtian, the strongest in the Luo family, was formidably boundless in his cultivation, surpassing a peak Grandmaster and ranked thirty-ninth in Qingyun!

"What about that female anchor and Yan Ruyu, they don't have any special background, right?" Luo Junjie said.

Luo Junjie had long been coveting Li Yan and the other women, but he refrained from any improper behavior due to the presence of his three elders.

However, just because he wasn't acting on his desires didn't mean he didn't have them.

"Luo Junjie!" Luo Qingren said in a stern voice.

"You are our closest kin, and considering the merits of your medicine offering, we wanted to give you a leg up."

"However, if you can't control yourself, don't blame us, the three elders, for not looking after you!"

"The three respected elders, Junjie realizes his mistake!"

Upon hearing the words of this elder, Luo Junjie immediately became somewhat fearful and respectful.

"You have performed well recently, which is why we made an exception to involve you, to stabilize your position in the family; do not disappoint our expectations of you!" Luo Qingtian also said.

"The elder is right; it was my mistake, I was bewitched by that woman!" Luo Junjie bowed and said.

These three elders held extremely high seniority in the Luo Family and were nearly a century-old freaks of nature, the strongest foundation of the Luo Family, with their cultivation techniques profound and mysterious, foremost figures between heaven and earth. Even though Luo Junjie moved in noble circles, he still had to remain fearful and cautious in front of these three.

"You and Bi Ting are the pride of the Luo Family, and Bi Ting's performance is actually somewhat better than yours. However, given Bi Ting is a woman and has an extremely cold disposition, the Luo Family has pushed you into your current position," Luo Qingren said.

"Today, if we can get those pill recipes, it would be a tremendous merit for the Luo Family, and no one will be able to shake your position!"

"Indeed!" The long-silent Luo Qingchen also spoke up.

"Bi Ting is of my direct lineage, and if we obtain the pill recipes this time, I will find that girl a good marriage!"

"!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Junjie was overjoyed and wanted to shout in excitement.
