Huang Chongyue walked out of the office, Xia Yanyu's thoughts still lingering on his cold eyes, unable to find peace.

Although Huang Chongyue left without a word, the look he gave before leaving had already informed Xia Yanyu of the trouble she would face next – the entire Huang family's revenge.

Now, she and Xu Fan are standing on opposing sides with the Huang family...

"Xu Fan..."

When it came to the Huang family, Xia Yanyu felt a vague fear, as she looked at Xu Fan with a worried expression.

She felt that this time, Xu Fan had been dragged into trouble because of her.

If not for her Xia family's reasons, why would he need to face such an enemy?

"Alright, tell me, what's the story behind the Huang family?"

Clearly, Xu Fan didn't take his guilt to heart, as he was indeed someone who never blamed heaven or others.

"Okay."

Xia Yanyu nodded and explained, "Xu Fan, have you heard of the Hidden World Families?"

"Hidden World Families? Yes, I've naturally heard of them."

Xu Fan nodded and said, the so-called Hidden World Families are stronger compared to the renowned families known to the public.

These families often have ancient martial inheritances that have been passed down to the present, and fame and fortune are no longer their main pursuits.

Advancement in martial arts is what they most desire, so they often remain hidden in places seldom visited by people.

In fact, Xu Fan had heard that many of Huaxia's renowned wealthy families are merely facades for these Hidden World Families, specifically handling miscellaneous tasks for them.

"So, is the Huang family a Hidden World Family?"

The Huang family's unfamiliarity makes sense if it came from such a lineage.

"That's right, the Huang family is indeed a branch of the Hidden World Families."

Upon hearing Xu Fan's question, Xia Yanyu nodded and explained, "The reason why the Huang family isn't well-known domestically is that they've already moved abroad. Nonetheless, the Huang family's influence domestically cannot be underestimated."

Information about the Huang family was something Xia Yanyu only learned after the marriage contract.

A family like the Huang family, being a Hidden World Family, is something that the Xia family, for example, cannot contend with, which is why she reluctantly endured her sister's marriage contract.

Now, having completely broken with Huang Chongyue, there's no doubt that the entire Huang family's retaliation is imminent.

And it's possible that even more than just the Huang family will be involved in this revenge.

Relying solely on herself and Xu Fan to stand against the Huang family – Xia Yanyu truly felt lost whether this was an absurd attempt.

"Why did Father do this..."

Looking at it now, it seemed to be a secret action by her father, Xia Yanyu murmured more incomprehensibly than ever.

"Perhaps he has his reasons that he can't explain."

Seeing Xia Yanyu's distressed look, Xu Fan sighed and said.

It seems that this marriage was likely something Xia Hengzhou was forced to arrange.

If he hadn't arranged this marriage, perhaps the Xia family would face consequences far more severe than simply giving away a woman.

Xu Fan patted Xia Yanyu's shoulder, comforting her for a while, then said, "Don't worry, I'll handle this."

It's just a Hidden World Family, not something that could utterly despair anyone.

There's always a period of calm before a storm, especially considering that the Huang family is overseas.

For the short term, there's no need to worry that the Huang family will make any significant moves.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. If any trouble comes up, remember to contact me immediately."

With a formidable enemy at hand, there are many things that need handling, at least ensuring that the Huang family doesn't harm those around him.

It's necessary now to return to Lingyan Pavilion and have a proper discussion with Sister Lan. Xu Fan bid farewell to Xia Yanyu and hurriedly left Xia Group.

Driving at high speed, Xu Fan soon returned to the Lingyan Pavilion Clubhouse.

"Hmm?"

Getting out of the car, he could see an unfamiliar X5 parked at the entrance, clearly not belonging to anyone from the Lingyan Pavilion.

Probably someone looking to have Lingyan Pavilion handle some business, Xu Fan thought little of it and headed into the clubhouse, directly to the conference hall.

Having been delayed at Xia Group for quite some time, Xu Fan didn't know if Sister Lan was still in the conference hall. As he walked to the door, he pushed it open and went straight in.

"Hmm?"

Upon entering, he saw someone seated in the main position of the conference hall.

The main seat of the conference hall is reserved solely for the Pavilion Master of Lingyan Pavilion, and even Xiao Lan had never broken this rule.

Xu Fan frowned, looking forward, and upon seeing who it was, his frown deepened further.

"It's you?"

As the saying goes, enemies cross paths on a narrow road, quite literally. The person sitting in the main seat of Lingyan Pavilion was none other than Huang Chongyue, whom Xu Fan had just encountered at the Xia Group.

"Ha ha, Miss Xiao Lan really is efficient in handling matters."

Previously, the two had a direct confrontation, so logically, seeing Xu Fan again, Huang Chongyue should be enraged.

Surprisingly, upon seeing Xu Fan, Huang Chongyue's face was filled with smugness and superiority.

Does this guy know Sister Lan?

Xu Fan frowned, turning his gaze towards Xiao Lan.

He could see that Xiao Lan was also puzzled, apparently not expecting him to walk in at such a critical moment.

"Alright, stop looking, Xu."

"I instructed Lingyan Pavilion to call you over."

Tapping the Taishi Chair made of pear wood, Huang Chongyue looked at Xu Fan with cold eyes.

"Kid, I admit you have talent. Your achievements in martial arts surpass the average person, but so what?"

"What impact can you have on your own?"

Huang Chongyue's words were filled with undisguised mockery.

After leaving Xia Group, he headed straight for Lingyan Pavilion.

Lingyan Pavilion is the greatest power in Jinling, undoubtedly deserving the title of the local snake.

He came with a simple purpose.

To command Lingyan Pavilion, the local snake, to give Xu Fan and the Xia family the lesson they deserve!

To let them understand that the Huang family is not to be trifled with!

The efficiency of Lingyan Pavilion's operations genuinely astonished Huang Chongyue.

He was just discussing matters concerning Xu Fan, and without Xiao Lan even leaving her seat, they actually managed to bring Xu Fan over for him.

Truly impeccable efficiency.

This is perhaps where the power of the Huang family lies.

No matter how strong Lingyan Pavilion is, it's just a local snake in Jinling.

If it offends the Huang family, it would surely be in big trouble, and now that the Huang family requires its help, how could it not be enthusiastic?

The humiliation endured at the Xia family would soon be returned to Xu Fan manifold, Huang Chongyue's gaze toward Xu Fan grew even more sinister...
