Jiang Ning smiled too.

"You'll find out soon enough whether it's a joke or not."

After saying that, Jiang Ning finished his breakfast and stood up, and Du Lanyin also stood up.

"Where are you headed, sir?"

Seeing that Jiang Ning was about to leave, the waiter quickly saw him out.

"Go to the Xu family."

Jiang Ning did not look back.

"what?"

The waiter was stunned.

Are you really going?

Jiang Ning turned to look at him.

"You can come with me now, or you can go later."

The waiter hesitated for a long time before finally giving an awkward smile.

"I'll go later."

Jiang Ning didn't insist, nodded, and said, "Then you can go in an hour."

After saying that, Jiang Ning left without saying anything more.

"An hour?"

The waiter blinked.

……

Xu Mansion.

"Junior brother, this is it."

Du Lanyin and Jiang Ning stood in front of a mansion.

"Then go in."

Jiang Ning nodded and then walked over.

"who?"

Two servants stood in front of the mansion. When they saw Jiang Ning coming, they tried to stop him, but before they could even touch him, they were thrown back by a burst of energy and fell to the ground with two cries of pain.

Jiangning was like a deserted place.

Main hall.

"I'm going back to Mount Song now."

Han Tianpeng sat leisurely in the main seat, glancing at the portly man.

"You need to take what I told you to heart. Don't mess with anyone you shouldn't, and don't cause any trouble, understand?"

The portly man nodded repeatedly.

"Sir, don't worry."

After giving his instructions, Han Tianpeng prepared to get up and leave, and several Songshan disciples sitting below also stood up.

"As for that white-faced evil spirit that's appeared in Guyang County, don't worry about him..."

Han Tianpeng was about to say something more, but a commotion suddenly broke out outside the hall, interrupting him.

"What's going on? Who's making noise outside?"

The portly man couldn't help but frown.

Bang!

A servant flew in from outside and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

"This……"

The portly man was about to say something when he saw two people walk in from outside the door.

"Who are you? What brings you to my Xu residence?"

The portly man looked at Jiang Ning and Du Lanyin and questioned them sternly.

However, Jiang Ning didn't pay attention to him; his gaze was fixed on the people in the main hall.

Jiang Ning glanced at the Songshan disciples, then looked at Han Tianpeng, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh? It's you?"

He remembered that this person was in the Songshan Sect at that time, right next to Zuo Lengchan. He paid a few more glances and realized that he was one of the Thirteen Protectors.

"It's you?"

Han Tianpeng also recognized Jiang Ning, and his expression darkened.

"The Five Mountains Sword Sect Alliance Conference is about to be held. Why did your Huashan Sect come to Henan instead of Songshan? What are you doing here?"

Han Tianpeng's tone was very impolite, as if he harbored great hostility towards Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning didn't understand the reason, but he didn't care.

Do I need to report to you about anything I do?

Jiang Ning said something casually, then sat down on a chair.

"What's your attitude?"

Upon hearing this, Han Tianpeng frowned and demanded an explanation.

Jiang Ning ignored him and looked at Du Lanyin.

"Senior sister, you can take your revenge now."

"Revenge? Revenge for what?"

Upon hearing this, Han Tianpeng frowned, not yet understanding what was happening, when Du Lanyin had already drawn her sword and pointed it at the portly man, her face filled with hatred.

"Master Han, save me!"

The well-to-do man, who hadn't yet figured out what was happening, was shocked by what he saw and immediately screamed.

"stop!"

Han Tianpeng shouted.

After saying that, Han Tianpeng immediately reached out to grab Du Lanyin's sword, but someone else on the other side was faster than him.

A figure flashed over and struck out with a palm.

Bang!

Han Tianpeng stumbled back several steps until he knocked over a table before regaining his balance.

"Master!"

Several disciples from Mount Song were shocked to see this and quickly went to help him up.

"Humph!"

Enraged, Han Tianpeng broke free from his disciple's support and glared at the figure in front of him.

"What does your Huashan Sect want? You're causing trouble on my Songshan Sect's territory. Do you want to break ties with my Songshan Sect?"

At this moment, his eyes were filled with intense fear.

Jiang Ning withdrew his hand from in front of Du Lanyin, as if nothing had happened.

Upon hearing Han Tianpeng's words, Jiang Ning ignored them and simply said...

"My senior sister was murdered and her family was destroyed before she entered Mount Hua. Today she wants to avenge her parents, and no one can stop her."

After speaking, Jiang Ning stepped aside and nodded to Du Lanyin.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Han Tianpeng's expression turned extremely ugly.

"Do you still remember Mr. and Mrs. Du Zhong, who were beaten to death by your Xu family fourteen years ago for refusing to have their land bought?"

Du Lanyin sternly questioned the portly man.

"Eucommia ulmoides?"

The portly man looked blank for a moment, clearly unable to recall.

He couldn't remember all the people who had been robbed and killed by the Xu family.

"I'm innocent, Grandma! I didn't do it!"

Whether he remembered it or not, the well-off man immediately began to shirk responsibility.

"I didn't kill him, it has nothing to do with me. It was all done by my subordinates. I just ordered them to buy up the land, but I never expected that they would kill someone behind my back."

The well-off man kept kowtowing and apologizing.

Indeed, as he said, he did not kill Du Lanyin's parents with his own hands, and he did not know Du Zhong and his wife, but they were inextricably linked to him.

Du Lanyin looked at him with barely suppressed hatred in her eyes, pressed her sword against his neck, and shouted.

"Where is your steward? Where is he now?"

"I'll call right away, I'll call right away."

The portly man cried out in pain and hurriedly called to the servants outside.

"Someone, someone, go and fetch Steward Qin for me! Hurry up!!"

"Yes, sir."

Someone outside responded and then left.

Before long, several servants led an old man into the main hall.

"master!"

"father!"

Just then, several shouts rang out from outside the main hall, and a group of women and a young man hurried into the hall, their faces filled with anxiety.

"Who are you people? How dare you take my master hostage! You're asking for trouble!"

The woman at the head of the group entered and immediately began to hurl insults, completely oblivious to the atmosphere in the hall.

"Shut up!"

Upon seeing this, the well-to-do man immediately cursed.

The woman immediately shut her mouth after being yelled at, her eyes showing grievance.

"master……"

The portly man didn't look at her, but pointed to the old man and said, "Grandma, he's the housekeeper. He's the one who does all the work. You should look for him."

Upon seeing the old man, the hatred in Du Lanyin's eyes intensified even further.

"Dog thief!"

Upon seeing her enemy before her, Du Lanyin could no longer suppress the hatred in her eyes.

"Spare me! Spare me! It was all the master's orders!"

The old man knew what was going on before he arrived, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"I only told them to collect the land, I didn't tell them to kill anyone, it's none of my business."

The portly man was also shirking responsibility and kept refuting the claims.

However, Du Lanyin ignored their excuses and killed the steward with a single sword stroke, then walked towards the wealthy man.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

The portly man screamed in terror.

"Master Han, save me! Master Han, save me!"

Han Tianpeng, whose name was called, looked at Jiang Ning with a grim expression.
