"Unfortunately, the fact is, there's no 'what if'!"

After Huang Siyuan squeezed these words out from between his teeth with a chilling tone, he coldly waved his hand, "Seize him for me!"

The group of thugs behind Huang Siyuan was about to move when they suddenly heard a sigh, "Young master."

At this moment, the old gatekeeper who had been watching from the sidelines finally couldn't resist stepping forward.

The gatekeeper, named Huang Quan, had been the porter for the gathering over the years. Although he often heard about Huang Siyuan's past deeds, he hadn't personally witnessed Huang Siyuan bullying men and taking liberties with women. Now, Huang Quan could only step out.

One must know that this was a gathering of cultivators. The few bodyguards behind Huang Siyuan might handle ordinary people with ease, but against this young expert with great achievement in the Innate realm, they would surely suffer.

Huang Quan stepped forward not to seek justice for Xu Fan but to ensure Huang Siyuan's safety.

Huang Siyuan wasn't stupid. He wasn't going to rely on those few lackeys to take Xu Fan's life. Once a fight broke out, Huang Quan would be compelled to step out!

Seeing Huang Quan step out, a trace of joy appeared on Huang Siyuan's face as he pointed at Xu Fan and ordered, "Uncle Quan, seize this kid for me! But don't be too rough with the girl; it'd be a shame to scratch her face..."

"Young master..." Huang Quan sighed helplessly, "You cannot fight at the market entrance; it's a rule set by the Family Head. Besides, young master, you're about to get married soon. If word gets out that you're still fooling around, the Huang Family's reputation will undoubtedly suffer."

Although Huang Quan was part of the Huang Family and had to show utmost respect to Huang Siyuan daily, he was after all a master in the Entering Dao realm, and he wouldn't let Huang Siyuan act recklessly at this moment.

"What Uncle Quan said is reasonable. That was rash of me." Huang Siyuan's face darkened at Huang Quan's attitude, but he quickly calmed down.

Turning his face, Huang Siyuan mouthed several silent words at Xu Fan, drew his finger across his neck in a sinister smile, and then turned to leave with his group.

Huang Siyuan didn't have any particular warmth towards Huang Quan, but if Huang Quan didn't help him, there were plenty of others in the Huang Family who would. Anyone could be pulled out to deal with Xu Fan sufficiently.

The words Huang Siyuan mouthed to Xu Fan were, "Wait, I'll take your head off."

And those were precisely the words Xu Fan wanted to say to Huang Siyuan.

Huang Siyuan and his group grandly entered the gathering, and Xu Fan watched Huang Siyuan's back with an icy gleam in his eyes. Gongsun Qin was full of indignation, while Jiang Wu let out a long breath of relief.

Offending the young master of the Huang Family was an enormous misfortune, but for him to let them off was a blessing in disguise.

Someone of the young master of the Huang Family's status was someone Jiang Wu dared not provoke!

"Young brother, today's matter was our Huang Family's abruptness. After attending the gathering, please do not linger here and return to Hong Kong Island quickly."

Huang Quan's words had nothing to do with goodwill or ill intent; it was merely a reflection of his demeanor.

This world is one of the strong preying on the weak. The Huang Family is strong, and Xu Fan is weak, so the Huang Family bullying Xu Fan is considered natural. In Huang Quan's view, reminding Xu Fan to leave was already an immense favor to him.

"Thank you, Senior Huang, for your assistance."

Xu Fan's words were neither warm nor cold, just like the expression on his face, neither sad nor happy.

He exchanged a few polite words and then turned, leading Gongsun Qin and Jiang Wu into the gathering.

There is no point in verbal disputes. Now is not the time to confront the Huang Family.

In six days, Xu Fan planned to give the Huang Family a big surprise.

Watching Xu Fan's departing figure, Huang Quan let out a long sigh and sat back down in the chair, returning to his lazy demeanor.

"What a pity for that young man..."

The softly spoken words were like a whisper.

...

The gathering was vast, like a marketplace, with stalls lined up on both sides. However, the items on these stalls were nothing like those in a regular market, and the vendors were all cultivators with cultivation levels.

As Xu Fan expected, the majority of stalls were filled with various materials, followed by odd treasures and precious medicinal herbs.

Many people came to attend the gathering. At this moment, the streets were filled with pedestrians coming and going, the vendors either sitting cross-legged or shouting their sales pitches, and some pedestrians, attracted by treasures or materials, paused to haggle with the vendors.

Xu Fan, however, didn't pause at all. With a sweep of his Golden Right Eye, he could tell that most of the treasures and materials displayed were useless, and the herbs didn't interest him at all.

It's not that the items were bad, but after reaching the Entering Dao realm, relying on ordinary materials and herbs to enhance one's strength was nearly impossible.

Meanwhile, Gongsun Qin still wore a face filled with indignation, muttering through gritted teeth, "What kind of young master is he? Acting all high and mighty? He was driven out of the country! If he were within the country, would that punk dare to be so arrogant? Humph!"

Gongsun Qin had been quietly muttering the whole way, and Jiang Wu had spent the entire way trying to persuade her, "Miss Gongsun, when under the eaves, one must lower their head. After all, we are on the Huang Family's turf..."

Suddenly, Gongsun Qin smacked her head, "Xu Fan, earlier what Huang Siyuan said about a wedding, he wasn't talking about Little Butterfly's..."

Xu Fan gave Gongsun Qin a stern look, interrupting her question, "Listen carefully to Mr. Jiang and stop causing trouble!"

Though Jiang Wu's words sounded weak, they were indeed truthful. When under the eaves, one must bow their head.

Xu Fan wasn't someone who could swallow his hatred. Revenge, at a gentleman's convenience, in ten years, does not apply to Xu Fan! For Xu Fan, a gentleman avenges overnight!

However, this trip to Luocheng was already fraught with danger. Facing the entire Huang Family alone, the power disparity was apparent. Without thorough preparation, recklessly striking out at the Huang Family was not courage; it was foolishness!

Seeing the sharp look in Xu Fan's eyes, Gongsun Qin finally understood what was going on. Her large eyes started darting around, though no one knew what was going through her mind.

At this moment, the group finally quieted down, slowly moving along the street amidst the bustling crowd.

During his time at White Crescent, Xu Fan not only honed excellent combat skills but also gained invaluable knowledge and experience, making him familiar with almost everything on either side of the stalls.

Suddenly, Xu Fan halted, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

"Is that... Cold Essence?"
