C109

Hua Ruge looked around, this was a bustling city, it was not wise to make a move here, so he nodded: "Alright, I will follow you."

The young maid bowed towards her before bringing her upstairs.

This was the most famous restaurant in the capital. The first floor was empty, the second floor was a single room, and the third floor was only accessible when people of status had recognized them.

After Hua Ruge offended Fang Lanxin last time at the auction, the place where he treated his guests to a meal was the second floor's room.

However, the maidservant did bring her to the third floor.

Hua Ruge squinted his eyes, and started to suspect if the person waiting for him was Fang Lanxin, otherwise how could his position be higher than Tuoba Yu's.

Upstairs, she found that the room was much larger than the one below, like a normal living room, with places to eat, rest, and drink tea.

The person drinking tea by the side of the table was Fang Lanxin, who had already met her many times. Her temperament was always cold, and she did not allow anyone to enter.

"It really is you." Hua Ruge frowned, she did not see anyone else in the room.

Fang Lanxin looked at her fixedly before spitting out a word: "Sit."

Hua Ruge took a good look at her expression, and emotionlessly sat across her across the table: "There isn't even anything to eat, your Hongmen Banquet sure is terrible."

Fang Lanxin didn't understand what she was saying, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then sighed in relief: "I invited you here today to negotiate, with your strength, entering the Hall of Sages is a given. In the future, it's best to live together in harmony."

Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows, and looked at her while laughing: "There's no need for a polite opening, just speak your mind."

"I'm really sincere." Fang Lanxin raised his head again, his tone was firm and his attitude sincere.

Hua Ruge looked at her without changing his expression.

"If you are my enemy, then you will be the enemy of the entire Fang family. Using your energy to attack the enemy is like striking an egg against a rock, turning hostility into friendship is good for you." Fang Lanxin felt that she was hesitating, so he continued to persuade her.

Hua Ruge was weak, if he were to fight with the Fang Family, he would definitely suffer a loss.

And it seemed that reconciliation was indeed the best way to deal with it.

But Hua Ruge did not forget her envious gaze when Tuoba Rui hugged her in the dark alley.

There was also the anger in her eyes when he almost killed her last time.

It was impossible for her to have thoughts of making up with him, and Hua Ruge could roughly guess the purpose of doing so.

"And if I refuse?" Hua Ruge leaned on the chair and asked.

Fang Lanxin frowned: "It's not good for you to continue like this."

"But it will harm you." Hua Ruge looked at her and said word by word, "I'm happy."

Fang Lanxin suppressed his anger and tried his best to sound calm: "The two of us were mistaken earlier, there's no need to hate me so much right?"

"If it wasn't for someone saving me that night, I would have died under your soul magic long ago. I wouldn't have had the chance to hate you." Hua Ruge didn't give her any face at all.

"Hua Ruge, don't refuse a toast and eat a forfeit." Fang Lanxin finally could not hold it in anymore.

In her opinion, Hua Ruge should be grateful that she had taken the initiative to come forward to make peace. He should be glad that he had escaped this calamity.

"Your cultivation experience isn't enough, you revealed your fox's tail with just a few words." Hua Ruge was not stingy with his mockery.

Fang Lanxin knew that his plan had failed, so he bit his lips and tried to come up with a plan.

Hua Ruge raised his lips, since the moment she entered, he had constantly lowered his head to drink his tea. The Fang Lanxin she knew before, had always had a proud face, so how could he do such a thing?

Since there was one, it meant that she did not want Hua Ruge to see it.

For example, anger, unwillingness, or even killing intent.

Hua Ruge had felt her killing intent more than once, it was not hard to guess that this woman had thought of at least ten methods to kill him in this short period of time.

If she wanted to play tricks, how could a flower in a greenhouse be her match?

"If you can't put on an act, then it's time to end the show. I'll give you some face, but you won't smash that rotten egg. Let's go." Hua Ruge said as he walked out.

"Hua Ruge, if you don't return my treasure today, you won't be able to leave."

Fang Lanxin suddenly stood up and said.

"Did you finally say your purpose?" Hua Ruge slowly turned his head.

"Since that's the case, then I'll be clear. If you return the favor tactfully, then I can consider letting you go." Fang Lanxin had just suffered from her anger and now that anger had erupted, he became even more ferocious.

"Then let me be clear, your broken pagoda is useless to me, but even if I sell scrap metal, I still won't return it to you." Hua Ruge's tone was even more unyielding.

This woman wanted nothing more than to kill him right away. If she gave the treasure back to him, wouldn't that be stupid?

Fang Lanxin said flustered and exasperated: "Hua Ruge, you're courting death."

"If you force me again, will I destroy your trust?" Hua Ruge added.

"Kid, if you are too arrogant, you will suffer losses." Suddenly, an elderly voice came out from the room. This voice was obviously normal, but Hua Ruge felt a strong pressure pressing down on her, causing her chest to feel tight, and her face turned pale.

The next moment, the screen was knocked down by a strong gust of wind, revealing a white-bearded old man sitting inside. He did not have a badge on his chest, so she did not know how strong he was, but this was the first time she felt such an intense pressure.

Seeing the old man coming out, Fang Lanxin took a step back and said respectfully, "Master."

Hua Ruge was left speechless by the pressure.

"Hmph."

Just then, the dissatisfied snort of a Devouring Beast could be heard from inside the space, and Hua Ruge felt that the pressure on his body had disappeared.

"Dog, good job."

Hua Ruge secretly praised, he stood up and said: "I knew you had ill intentions, and you actually hid someone here, you had already planned to take action."

She knew that this woman was definitely not a good person.

As soon as she spoke, Fang Lanxin and the old man were stunned.

With Hua Ruge's cultivation, it was impossible for him to resist such a strong pressure, but what was going on in front of him?

"Don't think that you can do anything to me just because I'm older. Since I dared to come up, I'm confident that I can go back." There was not a single trace of fear on Hua Ruge's face.

"This child is a little interesting, but today you must hand it over." As the old man said that, he extended his hand towards Hua Ruge, causing Hua Ruge to immediately feel a strong suction force pulling her forward.

He was actually going to take her life.

The Devouring Beast was anxious in the space, but this time it could do nothing.

At the same time, Hua Ruge raised his hand and slashed horizontally with a sixth stage wind blade.

It was obvious that the old man didn't want to cause too much noise. A ball of energy burst out from his other hand, and the wind blades turned into nothingness upon colliding with it, as if they had never appeared.2

Hua Ruge now realized that the person in front of him was a super strong expert that he had never encountered before. Furthermore, it was a Battle Master that trained in spirit energy.

Just as she was thinking about whether she should use the order badge to teleport herself to the Sky City, the old man suddenly stopped.

A moment ago, the aura inside Hua Ruge's body was in disorder, but he managed to stand steadily and did not collapse.

The old man's gaze focused on the Dragon Mark Ring on Hua Ruge's left hand. With a face full of shock, he turned around and asked Fang Lanxin: "Why didn't you tell me she had this?"

They knew very well what the ring represented.

"Master doesn't know, the Battle King isn't in the capital, no one will notice if we secretly kill her." Fang Lanxin said.

The old man looked at Hua Ruge with a complicated expression: "Hand over the tower and I'll let you go."

"Pah! First, you lied to me. If you can't deceive me, then you must steal it. If you don't dare to steal from me, then you must kill me and steal my treasure. Do you even want some face?" Hua Ruge wiped the corner of his mouth, his face filled with anger.

Her breathing had been disrupted and she still hadn't recovered yet.

When had she ever suffered such a loss?

"I'm doing it for your own good." The old man said in a dignified manner.

"Bullshit, if not for this ring protecting me, you would have strangled me just now, you old bastard!" Hua Ruge had always been a valiant person, when it came to scolding people, he didn't feel the slightest bit out of place.

The old man's face turned ugly.

"If you had begged me from the beginning, I might have given it to you. But if you dared to play with me, I wouldn't give it to you!" Hua Ruge said angrily.

Fang Lanxin arrogantly said, "Hua Ruge, who wouldn't know if we kill you here or here? If you want to live, take out something at the earliest opportunity to beg for forgiveness."

"Threatening me?" Hua Ruge suddenly laughed wickedly: "I admire people like you who aren't afraid of anything."

As she spoke, her mind issued a command.

"I know that you won't easily admit defeat, but do you think that there is any possibility for you to escape? "Don't force yourself, give me the thing and beg me for forgiveness. I might be able to spare your life." Fang Lanxin continued, she wanted to see whether or not Tuoba Rui was still around to save her.

The old man remained silent. If possible, it would be better for him not to kill Hua Ruge because she was someone protected by Tuoba Rui. If she were to be found out by Tuoba Rui, not to mention him, even the powers backing him would not dare to bear Tuoba Rui's wrath.

"Blind and optimistic person, we call them idiots." Hua Ruge scolded without mercy.

Fang Lanxin was so angry that he wanted to retort, but he suddenly felt as if something tore away from his soul, causing him to have a splitting headache.

"Ahhh ?" She covered her head and let out a cry.

"What's wrong?" The old man frowned and asked.

"She ?" She ? Destroy ? Destroy ? "Lightning God's Pagoda." As he spoke, he spat out a large mouthful of blood onto the ground. He wasn't injured, but rather angry.

"What?" The old man slapped the chair, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible, no power can destroy the Lightning God's Pagoda. You must be mistaken."

"Disciple is no longer able to sense the existence of the Heavenly Lightning Tower, and his own strength has also been affected." Fang Lanxin sat paralyzed on the ground, his face was filled with despair. He had originally wanted to take back the Thunder God's Pagoda, but who would have thought that he would be thrown in there.

After the Devouring Beast swallowed the Heavenly Lightning Tower, an extra surge of powerful energy suddenly appeared in Hua Ruge's body. Although she couldn't break through the limitations of her body, it didn't stop Huawei's own strength before it dissipated.

"Kid, I'll kill you." The old man bellowed and threw a punch towards Hua Ruge.
