Han Qingqing's voice became smaller and smaller. The hatred and unwillingness in her heart seemed to have lost their support at this moment, leaving only confusion and helplessness.

She didn't understand why her grandfather would protect an outsider so much, even to the point of punishing her in public.

Seeing this, Lu Yun stood up and slowly walked towards Han Fengyuan. His tone was calm, but with a majesty that could not be ignored.

"Deacon Han, today's incident had many twists and turns, but it was ultimately a misunderstanding. Miss Qingqing was young and hot-tempered, and was misled by a villain. I hope Deacon Han will teach her more in the future. As for the grudge between me and Li Tian, ​​that is another matter and has nothing to do with Duobao Pavilion."

Hearing this, Han Fengyuan took a deep breath and nodded with a complicated expression. There was a little more gratitude in his eyes when he looked at Lu Yun.

He knew the gap between the Han family and Lu Yun better than anyone else. Although his actions today were helpless, they were also for the safety of the family.

"My dear friend Lu Yun, what you said is absolutely right. I will definitely find out the truth about what happened today and give you an explanation. As for Qingqing, I will discipline her strictly and this kind of thing will not happen again."

Han Fengyuan turned to Han Qingqing with a stern tone.

"Go back to me. I will settle the score with you later."

Han Qingqing bit her lower lip, tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to object anymore. She could only follow the Han family members away silently.

Before leaving, she looked back at Lu Yun. In her eyes, besides resentment, there was also a hint of indescribable complex emotions.

As the Han family left, the atmosphere in Chunfeng Tower gradually eased, but everything that had just happened undoubtedly left a deep impression on everyone.

Lu Yun's strength and the Han family's attitude became the focus of everyone's private discussions.

Chu Yunxuan stood aside and witnessed the entire development of the incident, feeling mixed emotions.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to win over Lu Yun, and even use Han Qingqing's impulsiveness to create opportunities for himself, but he didn't expect that Lu Yun's identity was far beyond his imagination, and Han Fengyuan's handling of the matter also made him realize that his previous plan was too naive.

He shook his head slightly and thought to himself, it seems that if he wants to obtain the Samadhi True Fire, he has to find another way.

At the same time, Lu Yun should not be underestimated in the future. Perhaps he can become a rare force.

Han Fengyuan and the three elders led Lu Yun and Chu Yunxuan into the banquet hall, their expressions showing both apology and an indescribable caution.

He personally pulled out chairs for Lu Yun and Chu Yunxuan and said politely.

"Senior Lu, Second Young Master Chu, please take a seat. Today's banquet is to make amends and to thank you for your generosity."

Lu Yun smiled slightly and sat down calmly, as if he was used to this scene. He said, "Deacon Han is too modest. It's just a small matter. It's Miss Han who needs to hone her character."

Chu Yunxuan sat opposite Lu Yun, looking back and forth at Lu Yun with a complicated gaze, cursing in his heart.

"That old bastard Hall Master Yin almost got me into trouble. Luckily I didn't believe him completely, otherwise I would have turned to ashes by now." There was a barely perceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth, but when Lu Yun looked at him, he instantly turned into a gentle smile.

At the banquet, dishes were served one after another, the aroma filled the air, but no one was in a hurry to pick up their chopsticks, and the atmosphere seemed a little subtle.

Chu Yunxuan suddenly put down his chopsticks and said sternly, "Brother Lu, Yunxuan was biased in today's incident and failed to distinguish right from wrong. This is wrong. Here, I would like to apologize to Brother Lu."

Lu Yun smiled and took a sip of tea, then said leisurely, "Ah, Second Young Master, are you still acting? With that righteous look just now, I almost thought I had become an unforgivable demon."

As soon as these words were spoken, the servants standing nearby looked at each other, not daring to breathe, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became tense.

Chu Yunxuan chuckled, his eyes turned slightly, and looked at Lu Yun: "Forget it, if I continue to act, wouldn't it be disrespectful to you, Brother Lu? Although I, Chu Yunxuan, sometimes act tactfully, I also know my limits."

After saying this, he glanced at Han Fengyuan meaningfully. Han Fengyuan was so smart that he immediately understood and bowed.

"Senior Lu and Second Young Master Chu have important matters to discuss. Everyone else please leave."

The three elders looked at each other, and although they were puzzled, they quickly took their servants and left the banquet hall, leaving Han Fengyuan, Chu Yunxuan and Lu Yun behind.

As the door slowly closed, Chu Yunxuan's expression became more solemn. "I hope you two can keep your mouth shut about what happened today. My Han family is willing to pay the price, but I only ask that this matter not be spread."

Chu Yunxuan's aura suddenly changed, and it was actually the aura of an early Daluo Golden Immortal.

Lu Yun smiled without saying anything. He had long seen through Chu Yunxuan's disguise.

But Han Fengyuan's originally relaxed expression suddenly became tense. He jumped up from the stool, his eyes wide open, staring at Chu Yunxuan in disbelief, as if he was meeting the second son of the City Lord's Mansion for the first time.

The teacup on the table shook slightly due to his movement, and the tea splashed out, but no one cared.

"Second Young Master, you... are already in the early stage of Daluo Jinxian?" Han Fengyuan's voice was trembling and full of disbelief.

He originally thought that Chu Yunxuan was just a dandy young man in the City Lord's Mansion, indulging in romance all day long, but he never imagined that his cultivation was so profound.

Chu Yunxuan smiled lightly, stood up, his clothes swaying gently in the wind. There was a faint fairy air surrounding him, and the pressure of an early Daluo Golden Immortal was inadvertently revealed, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to seem to stagnate.

"Deacon Han, my seemingly unruly behavior is just to hide my identity."

His tone became low and sincere.

"I was actually bewitched by someone else to get close to Senior Lu. Hall Master Yin, the owner of the Blood Moon Pavilion, told me that Senior Lu had a treasure that could help me break through the bottleneck and improve my cultivation. I admit that I was tempted."

Hearing this, Lu Yun raised his eyebrows and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, but he did not interrupt and just listened quietly.

Chu Yunxuan turned around and faced Lu Yun with sincerity in his eyes.

"Senior Lu, I have no ill will towards you, it's just that the path of cultivation is difficult and there are too many temptations, so I lost my mind for a while. Now, I am willing to confess everything, and I hope you can forgive me."

Lu Yun raised a faint smile and said slowly, "Interesting, who is the one who bewitched you?"

"It is the head of the Blood Moon Hall in Mingcheng, Head Yin!"

Chu Yunxuan smiled bitterly and spoke slowly.

Han Fengyuan was shocked when he heard this. The second young master of the City Lord's Mansion had actually been in contact with the Blood Moon Hall without anyone knowing. The intention behind this was obvious, and he was undoubtedly plotting for the position of City Lord.

He rubbed his temple and sighed to himself, "Today I really learned a lot of things that I shouldn't know."

Seeing this, Chu Yunxuan smiled bitterly, walked to Han Fengyuan and patted him on the shoulder.

"Deacon Han, this matter involves a lot of implications. I hope you can keep it secret."

When Deacon Han heard Chu Yunxuan say this, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed.

"Don't worry, Second Young Master. I will never let this matter out."

Deacon Han had the same idea in his mind as Mingjing. Chu Shan, the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion, was only at the Taiyi level, and he was not young.

If the Second Young Master gets the chance, and at his age can attain the realm of Golden Immortal, then based on this, it is very likely that he will be the next City Lord.

Giving the Second Young Master some convenience now will also be giving myself some convenience in the future.

When Chu Yunxuan heard what Deacon Han said, he immediately felt relieved.

The reason is simple. The realm of Daluo Jinxian is a trump card that he has hidden for many years. If his elder brother Chu Shan knew his true realm, with his narrow mind, he would not tolerate him.

Now my power is still weak and not enough to compete with my eldest brother. If this matter gets out, it will do me no good but only harm.

Chu Yunxuan turned his attention to Lu Yun again.

Lu Yun naturally knew what Chu Yunxuan meant. He just hoped that he would not tell this to anyone.

"I don't have time to get involved in Mingcheng's affairs. I'll be gone in two days. Whatever you do has nothing to do with me."

Hearing Lu Yun say this, Chu Yunxuan felt relieved.

The most anxious thing in Lu Yun’s mind now is to take the teleportation array to reach Tongxianzhou and enter the gateway to the fairyland.

After expressing his attitude, he asked Chu Yunxuan about the Tianxing Palace.
