Chapter 821: Chapter 821: Su Qingcheng Takes Action

Liu He’s eyes widened, nearly passing out from anger.

"You, you!" Liu He pointed at them, his fingers trembling. "You are the epitome of stupidity!"

This matter obviously had issues, otherwise why would Hong Cheng refuse to listen to any explanations and insist on imprisoning Hong Qingyan?

"Within the family, most people only follow the will of the leader and lack their own thoughts," Su Qingcheng said with a cold laugh. "Therefore, they cannot distinguish right from wrong, black from white; they only know who is in charge and that person’s word is law."

Ning Fan stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "We came today to deliver something to Miss Hong. They were looking for the Snow Lotus, and we happened to find it."

As he spoke, he took a jade box out of his storage ring.

Upon opening the lid, the radiant Snow Lotus shone in the sunlight, as if carved from crystal.

"The Snow Lotus!"

"So they really went to find the Snow Lotus..."

"Could it be that we misunderstood the young lady?"

The suspicion of the Hong Family towards Hong Qingyan arose firstly from the preconceived notions instilled by Hong Cheng, and secondly because Hong Qingyan and the others claimed they were searching for the Snow Lotus but returned empty-handed.

Inevitably, people would lean towards Hong Cheng’s speculations.

But now that the Snow Lotus was indeed found, it meant that Hong Qingyan had no intention of harming the Family Head.

The speculation of Hong Cheng immediately began to waver.

Hong Cheng narrowed his eyes, a hint of ferocity flashing within, which he quickly concealed.

Hearing the whispered discussions of the Hong Family members, Hong Cheng took a deep breath, still with that gloomy expression: "Finding the Snow Lotus is good news, but it does not clear Hong Qingyan of suspicion. Who knows if she intended to hide the Snow Lotus?"

"However, saving my elder brother is what matters now. On behalf of the Hong Family, I thank you," he said,

and then reached out to take the Snow Lotus.

Before he could touch the jade box, Ning Fan suddenly drew back his hand, narrowing his eyes, "Mr. Hong Cheng, I will personally deliver the Snow Lotus to Miss Hong, so I cannot give it to you."

"I am the Acting Family Head of the Hong Family; giving it to me will suffice." Hong Cheng’s gaze faltered, and he reached out to snatch the jade box.

However, his martial skills were no match for Ning Fan, who easily evaded his grasp.

"Young man, what do you mean by this?" Hong Cheng asked coldly.

Ning Fan emotionlessly repeated, "I’ll say it again, I want to hand the Snow Lotus directly to Miss Hong."

"Hong Qingyan is under house arrest and no one is allowed to see her," Hong Cheng retorted, giving no ground.

Hearing this, Ning Fan nodded and gripped the jade box in his hand.

Just as Hong Cheng thought Ning Fan was about to back down, he saw him walking toward the interior of his own accord: "If you won’t make way, then I’ll find her myself."

"Dammit! Stop him!"

Hong Cheng’s expression changed abruptly, and he shouted angrily, ordering the bodyguards to surround Ning Fan and his two companions.

"Hong Cheng! Do you want to start a war with my Liu Family?" Liu He gritted his teeth, not expecting Hong Cheng to be so resolute.

Seeing the situation, there was clearly no intention of letting them see Hong Qingyan!

"Hmph, this is Hong Family territory. It’s you who intruded without permission; even if it comes to light, the Hong Family is justified!" With a wave of his hand, Hong Cheng commanded, "Arrest them!"

The bodyguards, with eyes fierce, advanced ready to move in.

"Hmph, think you can catch me?"

Before Ning Fan could move, Su Qingcheng took the initiative, confronting the bodyguards.

Since her successful cultivation, she had rarely exerted herself in combat, and the few times she did, she was overwhelmingly superior.

Now, faced with a bunch of ordinary bodyguards, she naturally wanted to test her skills.

"Hmph, a little girl wants to fight with us?"

The lead bodyguard scoffed and reached for Su Qingcheng’s neck.

A cold smile appeared on Su Qingcheng’s face as her hand shot out like lightning, grabbing the bodyguard’s right hand.

With a pull and a throw, the bodyguard was flung away.

The other bodyguards were stunned.

This frail-looking girl, how was she so strong?

Before they could react, Su Qingcheng had already charged into the crowd.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a few dull sounds, Su Qingcheng quickly knocked down all the bodyguards.

To these ordinary bodyguards, they were no match for her, now at the Qi Refinement Realm.

"Not bad, but you could make your moves cleaner next time. Many of those fancy actions were unnecessary," Ning Fan commented.

Su Qingcheng cocked her head: "But those moves looked cool."

"... Fine, if you think it’s cool, then it’s cool," he relented.

Seeing how formidable Su Qingcheng’s martial prowess was, Hong Cheng felt a sudden sense of unease: "Old Li, Old Xie, intruders have entered our family grounds! Please take action immediately!"

As his words fell, two figures leaped out from the encampment, landing beside Hong Cheng.

Along with them, several Patrons also followed suit, appearing before everyone.

"Second Elder, what are your orders?" Old Li asked with a salute.

Pointing at Ning Fan and his two companions, Hong Cheng ground his teeth, "These individuals are attempting to trespass on Hong Family territory, stop them at once!"

"Understood!"

Old Li stepped forward, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze indifferent, "Who will face me?"
