Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 366: Difficult to Settle

"It's Young Master Wudi!"

The Jue Family's Dragon Guards breathed a sigh of relief. With Young Master Wudi present, things would be easier to handle. They had some understanding of Young Master Wudi's abilities, so they were quite confident.

Although Jue Tiangang was strong enough to fight against two ordinary experts at the same level, they knew that Jue Tiangang had fought against Young Master Wudi in the past.

Young Master Wudi had made Jue Tiangang admit defeat in just ten moves!

The matter was kept secret within the Jue Family and was not spread outside.

"If you don't leave her behind, you won't be able to leave today," said Jue Wudi softly. "This has nothing to do with you, Fang Chen. I don't want to take action against you. Don't force me."

Fang Lingxing suddenly spoke up. "Fang Chen, hurry up and leave her here! Stop meddling in their affairs!"

Fang Hu and the others were surprised to hear that voice. "Fang Lingxing is here too?"

The Jue Family disciples began to shout at Fang Chen.

"Fang Chen, listen to Young Master Wudi. Don't think you're undefeatable just because you're proficient in controlling the five elements!"

"I think you're tired of living if you want to meddle in the affairs of the Jue Family! All you’re doing is causing trouble for your family!”

As for the others, because they were from the other five families in the inner city, they didn't dare to speak out.

But when they looked at Fang Chen, besides the slight shock of him defeating Jue Tiangang, there was also a hint of anger in their eyes.

He was clearly breaking some unspoken rules in the imperial capital.

"Young Master, please... you don’t have to bother about me anymore." Jiang Tianai, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. She bowed to Fang Chen and then walked toward the Jue Family's Dragon Guards.

The nearby bystanders were somewhat surprised, looking at Jiang Tianai's thin and slightly staggering figure, their expressions were filled with emotion.

If they were to fall into such a situation, they would absolutely cling to any help they could find. They'd clutch to it like a lifesaving straw and refuse to let it go. How could they act like Jiang Tianai, willingly walking toward the abyss to avoid implicating others?

The corners of the mouths of the Jue Family's Dragon Guards slightly lifted. Even Jue Wudi showed a faint smile.

"Your family's Mirror of the Universe is not simple. Since I have accepted this item, I owe you a favor," said Fang Chen's voice suddenly rang in Jiang Tianai's ear.

Jiang Tianai was startled. She stopped in her tracks and looked at Fang Chen with joy. He was that person!

Fang Chen smiled and reached his hand out. "Come here."

Jiang Tianai's heart skipped a beat.

"But..."

She didn't want to burden him anymore.

The Jue Family members' expressions turned solemn.

A few moments later, Jiang Tianai clenched her teeth, turned around, and walked back. When she reached Fang Chen, she hesitated for a moment before gently placing her hand in Fang Chen's palm.

At that moment, Jiang Tianai finally felt a hint of warmth. His palm was like the warm, rising sun amidst the cold environment.

Jue Wudi's voice sounded faintly. "Fang Chen, are you really going to take away my family's enemy?"

Fang Chen smiled lightly. "Yes, what are you going to do about it?"

The onlookers looked odd. In the imperial capital, was there still a junior brave enough to confront Jue Wudi head-on? The last one they remembered was... Xia Ji, from the Profound Void Temple! It seemed that after that incident, Xia Ji disappeared for a while. It was said that he had fled from Grand Qian just to avoid Jue Wudi.

"Fang Chen, stop causing trouble for our family already," said Fang Lingxing sternly. "Otherwise, I will report what you're doing and highlight its consequences to the ancestor so he can step forward and personally punish you."

"If Fang Lingxing is saying this, it means that the Fang Family won’t side with Fang Cheng on this…."

Hushed whispers rang through the crowd.

At the same time, Fang Xiu and others also understood the situation. They slowly walked up to Fang Chen, with Fang Xiu smiling at Jiang Tianai first, then addressing Fang Chen, "I am Fang Xiu from the fourth branch."

Fang Chen nodded softly. "Hello."

Everyone at the Spring Dawn Tower was surprised to see Fang Xiu and the others. They reflexively looked toward Fang Lingxing.

"Who said the Fang Family won’t interfere in this matter?" Fang Xiu scanned the crowd and said lightly, "The powerful Jue Family is bullying a little girl. Even if there was a feud between their ancestors, killing without regard for consequences is an invitation for unnecessary humiliation. If Fang Chen wants to handle this trivial matter, then I, Fang Xiu, will also be taking part in it! All the disciples of the Fang Family's fourth branch will take Fang Chen's side!"

"That's right, we'll deal with this!"

"Bullying a little girl! How heroic! If news gets out, it'll only be a joke."

The fourth branch disciples looked proud. Their eyes swept around before they landed on the Jue Family's Dragon Guards, full of provocation.

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense. It seemed like this matter was going to escalate further. Even Fang Xiu, the chief disciple of the fourth branch, stood on Fang Chen's side….

"Fang Xiu, don't act recklessly! Whatever happened before was up to you, but this matter is different. It's an internal affair of the Jue Family. Why should our Fang Family's disciples interfere?" Fang Lingxing exclaimed angrily.

Fang Xiu's gaze swept across the Spring Dawn Tower, passing over Second Prince Qian Feng and others one by one, before finally landing on Fang Lingxing. He smiled and said, "Fang Lingxing, what do you mean by Jue Family’s internal affairs? I just saw something that is hard to accept morally."

Fang Lingxing was furious "You!"

She knew Fang Xiu's temperament. Although he was usually low-key and didn't speak much, once he had his mind set on something, not even ten bulls could sway him away from it.

More and more onlookers gathered around.

Fang Yun seemed puzzled. "Senior Brother, Ninth Prince, isn't that Fang Chen? Wasn't he having dinner with the Second Prince today? Why is he here?"

"Fang Xiu is also here. What did he mean by 'hard to accept morally' just now?" said Fang Jue, shocked. He immediately began asking the people around him about what was going on.

Qian Jiuye remained silent, his gaze shifting between Fang Chen and Qian Feng.

Soon, Fang Jue understood the situation and immediately informed the two of them through a voice transmission.

Fang Yun immediately turned angry. "No way! Has the Jue Family gone mad? Why are they treating a little girl like this?"

Qian Jiuye frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Tianai.

At that moment, Qian Feng's voice suddenly rang out. "Fang Chen, let his matter go on my behalf. Come up and have a drink."

"That's the second prince."

"So he's here too."

Everyone finally noticed the second prince. They were secretly shocked.

Fang Chen smiled and said, "Second Prince, I've already had many drinks today and I'm a bit tipsy. I'll pass up on the drinks."

Qian Feng's expression darkened. Fang Chen's refusal to come upstairs was tantamount to rejecting his invitation!

Qian Jiuye smiled when he saw this and walked in Fang Chen's direction. Fang Jue and the others quickly followed.

"I say, Second Brother, as princes, we can't join forces with the Jue Family to bully a little girl, right?" said Qian Jiuye, chuckling as he walked.

"This is..."

"The ninth prince?!"

Everyone was startled.

This situation was becoming more and more complicated by the second!

Why the hell is he here too?!

Qian Feng's expression turned serious.

Qian Jiuye had already arrived in front of Fang Chen and his group by now. He greeted them and then looked at Jiang Tianai with a smile. "Little girl, what's your name?"

"Jiang Tianai," replied Jiang Tianai softly.

"Oh, what a good name." Qian Jiuye nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Jue Wudi. "Jue Wudi, don’t embarrass us. We'll take this girl today."

The crowd didn't know what to do with their faces anymore.

The situation had completely changed.

Fang Chen not only had Fang Xiu on his side, he also had a member of the royal family too, Qian Jiuye.
