Su Nan stood up slowly and was about to reach out to stop the arrogant man, but unexpectedly, something strange happened suddenly.

The girl suddenly raised her hand and pulled out a jade pendant emitting a strange light from her bosom. Runes shone brightly on the jade pendant, shining like stars. Powerful energy waves instantly spread out like waves on the water.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden development. For a moment, all eyes were fixed on this miraculous jade pendant, as if drawn by a magnet. The large man's expression instantly turned extremely grim, as if struck by frost. He exclaimed in shock, "It's such a rare treasure!"

The girl held the jade pendant in her hand and shouted angrily in a delicate voice, "You vicious and insane people, stop acting so recklessly here!" As she shouted, the jade pendant's light became stronger and stronger, so bright and dazzling that people could not look directly at it. It instantly turned into a solid light curtain, tightly covering her and the man beside her.

The big man refused to give up. He was furious, his face red, and he frantically commanded his men, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Go, hit them hard!" His men, like possessed, attacked the light curtain with a frenzied, volleying ripples. Yet, it remained as solid as a rock, unbreakable, and firmly protected the people within.

At this moment of almost breathless tension, a chaotic, deafening clamor of footsteps echoed from downstairs. Immediately afterwards, a dozen people hurried up the stairs, their expressions and steps frantically in panic. Leading the charge were a master and a servant. The master was a strikingly handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, though his face held a hint of femininity. He remained silent throughout, making his thoughts difficult to fathom. The servant was a vigorous old man, his eyes gleaming with an extraordinary brilliance, as sharp as an eagle's, a presence that dared not be underestimated.

The old man took a step forward, his eyes fierce and fierce, like a hungry wolf, and said viciously: "Humph, you dare to cause trouble on my territory of Duobao Pavilion? You really don't know how to live or die, and you don't know your place."

The girl's eyes widened, burning with rage as she glared at the other party. She shouted, "You, Duobao Pavilion, are forcing us to buy and sell so rudely. Don't you think we're allowed to resist? Is there no law in this world?"

The old man sneered, his tone as cold as ice, as if he could freeze the air around him. He said, "In Fenglu City, my Duobao Pavilion is the supreme rule, it is the law of the land."

However, from beginning to end, Su Nan never participated in this fierce dispute. She just stood quietly by the side, her expression as cold as frost, like an ice sculpture, watching the development of the situation, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.

At this moment, the girl and the man in the light curtain looked extremely nervous, their foreheads were covered with sweat, their heartbeats were rapid, and they leaned against each other tightly, giving each other some comfort and strength.

Seeing that Su Nan didn't move, the old man turned his head and looked at the light curtain, saying coldly: "If you hand over the magic weapon obediently, I may spare your life. Otherwise, I will make sure you die without a burial place."

The girl gnashed her teeth and replied firmly, "Don't even think about it! You bandits, dream on!"

In a flash, the old man casually waved his hand, seemingly nonchalantly, and a surge of immense power erupted. With a resounding "bang," like a thunderclap, the dazzling curtain of light was instantly shattered, dissipating into tiny specks of starlight in the air. The girl felt as if struck by a heavy blow. Her delicate body trembled violently, like a leaf falling in the wind. With a "puff," she spat out a mouthful of crimson blood. Then, losing her balance, she fell heavily to the ground like a withered petal, raising a cloud of dust.

At the same time, the jade pendant instantly escaped the girl's grasp, pulled by an invisible and powerful force, and flew rapidly into the old man's hands. The old man's face was expressionless, like a puppet, his eyes empty. He handed the jade pendant to the young man beside him. After the young man took the jade pendant, he carefully examined it. An expression of ecstasy gradually appeared on his face, his eyes shining, and he couldn't help but exclaimed repeatedly: "What a wonderful thing! I'm definitely buying it from Duobao Pavilion."

Su Nan watched quietly from the side, feeling a little surprised. She had originally thought that this young man would use the power of Duobao Pavilion to forcibly snatch it away, but she didn't expect him to claim that he wanted to buy it.

At this moment, the girl's face was as pale as paper, completely devoid of blood, and her breath was weak, like a candle in the wind. However, she still shouted stubbornly, "What's the difference between what you're doing and robbery? This is clearly bullying and committing evil!"

The boy was terribly anxious. He hurriedly helped the girl up and held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to melt her into his body and protect her. He glared at the young man and the old man with eyes that seemed to be spitting out blazing fire, ready to burn them to ashes. However, facing the other party's despairing strength, he knew he was powerless to resist. He could only bite his lip tightly, biting it until it bled. His hands trembled slightly with anger, but he dared not speak out.

Su Nan frowned slightly, growing increasingly dissatisfied with the Duobao Pavilion's overbearing and tyrannical behavior. This was simply blatant robbery, not even a hint of fair trade. But she remained calm and composed, refusing to act rashly, and continued to observe the situation in silence.

The young man from Duobao Pavilion suddenly frowned, looked at the jade pendant carefully, and asked, "Do you know Liu Yitao?"

This question left the siblings bewildered. They looked at each other, wondering: Does this person know their master? Is he friend or foe? It was hard to tell.

Seeing the brother and sister remain silent, the young man's eyes grew sharper, like a sword unsheathed. He raised his voice and said, "Answer me quickly. This is very important to you. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."

My brother hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering as he said, "Liu Yitao is our master. So what? What is your purpose? Just tell me what you want to say."

The young man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile that made people shudder: "I see. So how is she now?"

My sister rushed to answer, her voice anxious: "Master is in a coma, we are looking for medicine everywhere, just to save her."

The young man's eyes flickered as he fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.

The young man's lips curled slightly as he said, "You deserve it. If you had married into my Wanbao Pavilion, none of this would have happened. You're just trying to save face and end up suffering. Since you're her disciples, there's no way I'll let you go so easily."

His eyes were vicious, like a wolf's, and he coldly ordered his men: "Catch them alive, they will be useful later."

Upon receiving the order, the subordinates immediately pounced on the brother and sister like wolves, with murderous intent and aggressiveness.

The brother protected his sister behind him and said with gritted teeth, "Don't even think about hurting my sister!" After that, he held on to his injured body, like a wounded beast, ready to fight the enemy.

My sister also had a determined look on her face, holding her sword tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force.

At this critical moment, Su Nan finally couldn't help but speak out: "In broad daylight, you are robbing me like this. Do you really think there is no justice in this world?"

The young man turned to look at Su Nan, his eyes gleaming, and he sneered, "Justice? In Fenglu City, my Wanbao Pavilion is justice. If you meddle in other people's business again, I will punish you as well, and you will not be able to escape unscathed."

Su Nan showed no fear at all, held his head high and said, "Then give it a try. I want to see how arrogant you can be."

For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense, as if a spark could detonate the entire space.
