"Big brother?"
Lin Lichuan was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly understood.
This young man was obviously the one Lei Xingjia had mentioned. He was the eldest son of the Lu Family's younger generation, and also Lu Qiu's brother, Lu Changshan.
No wonder he felt familiar with him. After all, they were brother and sister. It was normal for them to look similar. It was not surprising that he felt familiar with him.
"Little Qiu, why did you come to TuHai City?"
Meeting his sister by chance made Lu Changshan quite happy, and a happy smile appeared on his face. After he spoke, he suddenly realized something and patted his forehead. "By the way, you just came back from outside the Circle of Sighs, right? Wait, you're not implicated in the disaster in Bolin City, are you?"
At the end of his speech, Lu Zhangshan withdrew his smile, and his expression became somewhat solemn.
Lu Qiu shook her head gently. "I'm fine. I'll tell you the details later. Big brother, what trouble did you get into this time?
Where's Tian Yan?
He's not with you. Where did he go? "
"I asked him to do something."
Lu Changshan laughed and raised a palm-sized, simple and unadorned statue in his hand as if he was presenting a treasure. He had a happy look on his face as he said, "I found a valuable ancient statue here, so I bought it. However, these people intervened halfway and tried to snatch it. They even forced me to sell it to them."
The seven or eight people who had quarreled with Lu Changshan, especially the man among them, widened his eyes when he saw Lu Qiu. His eyes were filled with lust, and he was almost drooling. When he finally came back to his senses, he heard Lu Changshan's words. The long-faced man's face immediately darkened, and he sneered, "Don't slander people based on words. Who is forcing people to sell? This statue is priced at 10 dragon coins, and I will buy it for 1 dragon pattern gold coin. This stall owner will make a big profit!"
Lu Changshan was straightforward. He took out a dragon pattern gold coin and put it in the hands of the stall owner. He turned to the long-faced man and said, "Well, I'll raise the price by 1 dragon pattern gold coin. I bought it before you. Is there any problem now?"
"You!"
The long-faced man's face flashed with anger. He almost couldn't help but curse. Finally, he held it back and said coldly, "You should ask the stall owner if he's selling it!"
The pitiful stall owner was sandwiched between the two parties. He was already sweating profusely from fear, and he looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Originally, he thought that he had met a rich customer and could do a big business. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
The long-faced man, Yang Yuanpin, was not an easy person to talk to. He came from the Yang family, which was second only to the Xia family in power in Tu Hai City. He was also the second young master of the Yang family. There was no doubt that he was one of the most powerful people in Tu Hai City.
The few young people beside him were also from the big families of TuHai City. With a group of people together, no one in the entire TuHai City could afford to offend them except for the Xia family. How could a commoner like him defy them?
If it weren't for Lu Changshan's unwillingness to give in, the stall owner would have sold the item directly to Yang Yuanpin.
However, Lu Changshan was not stupid. Without waiting for the stall owner to speak, he said directly, "You don't have to threaten the owner. I've already bought this statue. It has nothing to do with him. If you have any problems, just come at me!"
Yang Yuanpin's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he said coldly, "Who do you think you are?"
As soon as his voice fell, the two tall and burly guards behind him suddenly stepped forward and stretched out their hands to grab Lu Changshan.
The two men's temples bulged, and their hands were as fast as thunder. Obviously, their strength was not bad. They were at least at the Gold rank.
However, in the next moment, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their path.
The two guards took a closer look and were shocked to find that the people blocking their way were two men with heavy auras. One of them was wearing a mask, while the other had a cross-shaped scar on his face. They were looking at them expressionlessly.
Seeing this, the two guards frowned slightly, but they did not stop. Their five fingers bent into claws, and they brazenly grabbed the two people in front of them.
The two people who intervened halfway were naturally Senbonzakura and Hyorinmaru.
Facing the sudden attack of the guards, the two did not even move. They just released a huge and vigorous spiritual pressure that shrouded the two guards like a mountain.
Suddenly, with a plop, the two guards almost knelt on the ground at the same time. Their heads were tightly pressed to the ground, and their faces were red. It looked like they were saluting Senbonzakura and Hyorinmaru.
The street was suddenly silent.
After a while, there was a sudden uproar. The onlookers looked at the two guards who were kneeling on the ground in astonishment. They could not understand what the two were doing.
A few Extraordinaires in the crowd with good eyesight changed their faces and looked at Senbonzakura and Hyorinmaru in horror.
Yang Yuanpin's face also changed slightly.
Although he was domineering, he was not stupid. He saw that the two guards' bodies were trembling non-stop. He knew that they were desperately struggling, but they could not get rid of the suppression. Obviously, they were far from being a match for the two men in front of him.
One should know that his guards were carefully selected experts from his family. The weakest one was at Level 17, but they could not fight back in front of the two men. Obviously, the two men in front of him were knights.
However, what shocked Yang Yuanpin even more was still to come.
A young man who was at most 20 years old suddenly walked through the crowd and came to the side of the beautiful girl. The two knights suddenly retreated and stood silently behind the young man.
This scene made Yang Yuanpin's heart skip a beat.
The two knights were just guards?
Using knights as guards. In the whole of TuHai City, only the young master of the city had this kind of extravagance. Who was this guy?
Yang Yuanpin was a little surprised.
"I'm sorry, Ah Chuan. I need your help." Lu Qiu said softly to Lin Lichuan who was approaching her.
"It's no trouble."
Lin Lichuan smiled faintly. Even if he did not help, with Lu Qiu's strength, it was too easy for her to deal with two Gold rankers.
Moreover, Lu Changshan was the eldest son of the Lu family. If someone said that he could not even deal with two Gold rankers, Lin Lichuan would be the first to believe it.
When Lin Lichuan was thinking about Lu Changshan, the latter was also quietly looking at him. He smiled and asked, "Little Qiu, this is …"
"He is my friend, Lin Lichuan," Lu Qiu replied.
"I see. Friend …" Lu Changshan looked at Lin Lichuan and then looked at Lu Qiu. For some reason, he suddenly showed a strange smile.
Lu Qiu unnaturally brushed her hair behind her ear and glared at her brother from a position where Lin Lichuan could not see.
"Little Qiu has also grown up."
Lu Changshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He no longer tried to be secretive and started sizing up Lin Lichuan openly.
Lin Lichuan was a little uncomfortable under his gaze. Fortunately, Yang Yuanpin, who had been ignored by them, could not hold back his anger and asked in a low voice to help him break the awkwardness.
"Who are you people?"
