"I'll take these three blows."
Li Lan's calm words shocked everyone at the table.
"Heh, that's interesting."
The other young people with Liu Ziwen were all very interested. Liu Ziwen also looked at Li Lan with surprise, his brows furrowing slightly.
He's not an idiot; he's now vaguely realizing that he might have been scammed.
He only invited Lin Ruoshi to this banquet. Qin Xiong came on his own. They had a good relationship with Qin Xiong, so they sat together. They never expected this conflict to break out.
He was prepared to speak up and defuse the situation, at least to suppress it and prevent a conflict from breaking out between the two sides at his banquet, but he never expected Li Lan to be so bold.
He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. Just a few days ago, he heard that although Li Lan was a martial arts failure, he was still a remarkable person. He had even earned the respect of Zhao Tanyue, the head of the Secret Service. Who would have thought that he would be manipulated by Qin Xiong now?
"Brother-in-law, you..."
Lin Ruoshi, however, became somewhat anxious and said, "Are you stupid? Why did you agree to him!"
Even Yue Ran was somewhat puzzled, and gently bit her lower lip, saying, "Young Master, please don't be impulsive..."
The opponent was a near-first-rate martial artist; killing Li Lan would be too easy for him.
Qin Xiong, however, was overjoyed and said, "You said it yourself!"
A murderous intent flashed in Gu Changfeng's old eyes.
"But I also have a condition."
But Li Lan casually turned to Qin Xiong and said, "If Gu Changfeng loses, you'll have to kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and slap yourself three hundred times! Do you dare to agree?"
Li Lan could tell that Qin Xiong was the core, and Gu Changfeng was just someone Qin Xiong had brought along!
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiong sneered, "You think you can defeat Mr. Gu? What a joke! I accept!"
"Mr. Gu, you can make your move now!"
Gu Changfeng then stepped forward, ready to make a move.
"Wait a minute,"
Li Lan then laughed and said, "If you want to fight me, you'll have to get past my maid first..."
"The Nine Revolutions Cotton Palm she cultivates was also taught by Ruoxue, so she can be considered Ruoxue's disciple. Mr. Gu, if you can't even beat Ruoxue's disciple, you don't need to come to me and humiliate yourself. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Ran was stunned for a moment.
She was just worried about Li Lan, and at the same time she was a little moved. After all, Li Lan was willing to risk his life to protect his young lady's reputation, which could be considered a sign of his devotion... Little did she expect that he was planning to watch from the sidelines and let her fight Gu Changfeng.
She suddenly felt that Li Lan... was really shameless.
Not only are they arrogant and conceited, but they also lack any sense of responsibility!
"Yueran, are you willing to exchange three blows with him?"
Li Lan asked with a smile.
Yue Ran was furious, but now that the die was cast and the young lady's reputation was at stake, she absolutely could not back down. She could only nod, already prepared to fight to the death.
"Hehe, Li Lan, just how many disciples does Lin Ruoxue have? According to you, she has countless disciples, so you'd have to defeat them one by one before it's your turn?"
Qin Xiong's place was cold and gloomy.
Li Lan said, "There's only Yue Ran, so you can rest assured."
Liu Ziwen, who was standing nearby, also spoke up: "In that case, it would be best if Miss Yue Ran took three blows from Mr. Gu."
He was also worried that if Gu Changfeng killed Li Lan, he, as the host, would be implicated and might even offend the General's Mansion!
"Hmph, a delaying tactic... Mr. Gu, then kill this young brat first!"
Qin Xiong gave Yue Ran a cold glance.
Gu Changfeng nodded, then stared at Yue Ran, and struck out with his palm, creating a sonic boom and the sound of wind and thunder in the air!
The Iron Palm Sect's strongest palm strike, Wind and Thunder Transformation!
As soon as this palm strike was made, all the guests at the other tables on the second floor turned their heads to look over.
"Gu Changfeng!"
Why would he make a move here?
"what happened?"
It has attracted widespread attention.
Yue Ran, on the other hand, calmed her mind and circulated her true energy. Then, she struck out with her slender hand. Compared with Gu Changfeng's overwhelming palm force, her palm force was gentle and its power was not obvious.
The moment she received the palm strike, she could already feel that the Nine Turns Cotton Palm could not withstand it. The opponent's palm strike was about to penetrate her meridians, and she would immediately become a cripple!
Her face turned deathly pale, but she gritted her teeth and endured it, prepared to die to repay her mistress!
But at that moment, she suddenly felt an incomparably powerful true energy coming from her waist, instantly reaching her limbs and bones. The true energy circulated nine times and then spewed out like a wave!
She was immediately taken aback, not knowing where this true power came from, but this... was clearly the power of the Nine Turns Cotton Palm.
Moreover, he had mastered the peak of the Nine Revolutions, and was only one step away from achieving internal energy in his palm power!
Because they share the same origin, she uses them effortlessly, as if they originate from her own body.
On the other side, Gu Changfeng originally intended to kill Yue Ran with one palm strike, but unexpectedly, the palm force that Yue Ran had just broken through with one strike suddenly rose and turned, continuous and unstoppable. In an instant, it seemed to change several times, becoming stronger and stronger, making it impossible for him to attack!
An old-fashioned sect leader and a young maid are now actually competing in palm strikes!
"what?"
Qin Xiong frowned. What was going on?
Liu Ziwen and the others were equally surprised. They were all martial arts cultivators, but none of them had truly reached the first-class level. It would not be easy for them to fight against Gu Changfeng!
But this little maid actually has such high martial arts skills?
"impossible…!"
Gu Changfeng gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I'll kill you!!"
He was a renowned expert after all, and it would be too embarrassing for him to be blocked by a mere maid. Therefore, he exerted all his strength, unleashing his full power.
However, no matter how strong his true power was, it was as if he were hitting rotten cotton. Yue Ran's true power was inexhaustible, turning again and again, and seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, making him unable to support it.
As his true energy surged, his internal energy became disordered over time, and he suddenly let out a miserable cry, took a step back, and spat out a mouthful of blood!
Gu Changfeng was pale and slumped on the ground, his body trembling.
Everyone in the room paled.
"what?"
"Gu Changfeng... he actually lost?"
"How could this happen!"
Not only Liu Ziwen and others, but also the people at the other tables were extremely surprised, and their eyes all fell on Yue Ran.
Yue Ran herself was somewhat bewildered at this moment. She subconsciously turned around and saw Li Lan beside her clapping her hands with a smile, saying, "Good, good!"
"Yueran, no wonder Ruoxue taught you this palm technique. Defeating Gu Changfeng is enough to prove your talent!"
After saying that, he said loudly, "Three years ago, my wife made a three-palm agreement with the Iron Palm Sect. Now, my wife has withdrawn from the martial arts world, but her disciple Yue Ran has defeated the leader of the Iron Palm Sect with a single palm strike. This matter is now settled!"
"Qin Xiong, it's time for you to keep your promise!"
Li Lan looked calmly at Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong's expression changed drastically. He looked at Yue Ran as if he had seen a ghost and said, "Impossible! You are clearly only at the fourth level of True Qi, how could you possibly be a match for Mr. Gu?!"
As soon as he said that, Li Lan's heart skipped a beat!
How did Qin Xiong know about Yue Ran's cultivation level? This means... the mole within the Lin family is very well hidden and knows a lot about the Lin family's situation!
"The agreement we just made was made in front of Brother Liu Ziwen and the others. You wouldn't break your promise, would you?"
Li Lan sneered.
Liu Ziwen also said calmly, "Brother Qin, a man's word is his bond!"
He was also very dissatisfied with Qin Xiong, who had caused all this trouble at the banquet he had invited... It was a huge disrespect to him!
Qin Xiong's expression changed drastically. He was being asked to kowtow to Li Lan and then slap himself? Absolutely not! ... He subconsciously got up, ready to leave.
"Yueran, take him down!"
At Li Lan's command, Yue Ran didn't have time to think and struck out with her palm. Qin Xiong was no match for her and was captured on the spot. Yue Ran then swept her leg across, forcing Qin Xiong to kneel on the ground.
"Let me go... Li Lan, you piece of trash, what do you think you're doing?!"
Qin Xiong was furious.
"If you won't slap yourself, then I'll have to do it..."
Li Lan smiled, then suddenly took off her shoe and slapped him hard across the face.
"Snapped!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Li Lan struck Qin Xiong's face with both hands, leaving one shoe sole after another, causing Qin Xiong to scream in agony.
"Ah, no! You piece of trash, I'm going to kill you..."
"Ah..."
He screamed shrilly, but Li Lan only pumped harder. Finally, Li Lan was exhausted from pumping and plopped down in a chair, panting heavily.
Qin Xiong's face was swollen like a pig's head!
"We haven't reached three hundred strikes yet, Ruoshi, go and have some fun..."
Li Lan handed the shoe sole to Lin Ruoshi.
Upon seeing this, Lin Ruoshi was extremely excited, took it, and gave it a good beating!
All the guests on the second floor were stunned by this scene.
"Qin Xiong...this is the nephew of Lord Qin Xiong of the Secret Service!"
"Is he crazy? How dare he hit him like that... This son-in-law is too fierce!"
"Arrogant, truly arrogant!"
Many people had complicated expressions.
Qin Xiong was a powerful figure in the capital, but who would have thought he would make such a fool of himself today!
It's safe to say that he won't be able to make a living in the capital anymore!
"You...I'm going to kill you all, ahh..."
Qin Xiong, overwhelmed with grief, let out a scream and fainted, collapsing to the ground.
Lin Ruoshi kicked him twice hard before stopping and saying, "Brother-in-law, I'm tired too..."
Return the shoes to Li Lan.
Li Lan smiled and said, "Yueran, let him go, have his servants carry him away... Come here, put my shoes on."
He sat in the chair and pointed to his feet.
Seeing Qin Xiong being severely beaten, Yue Ran felt incredibly relieved. But Li Lan asked her to put on his shoes? She instinctively wanted to refuse, but then suddenly remembered something and suppressed her reluctance. She walked up to Li Lan, knelt down, and put his shoes on for him, just like a considerate little maid.
As she stood up, she whispered in Li Lan's ear, "Young Master, is that you?"
Just now, when she exchanged palm strikes with Gu Changfeng, a surge of true energy came from her waist... She thought about it carefully, and at that time, Li Lan seemed to have placed his hand on her slender waist!
She...couldn't help but have some doubts!
