...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the morning, the heavy red sandalwood gates of Moon Pavilion were unceremoniously pushed wide open by someone.
Accompanied by heavy footsteps, four extremely robust men swaggered in.
Walking at the very front was none other than Tang Hu, who had sneered and taunted Luo Nan at the entrance two days ago.
As for the three men following behind him, their builds were identical to his, all with knotted muscles and broad backs and waists, resembling three moving iron towers.
Although these three varied slightly in height, the fierce, domineering, and undisguised arrogant aura forged by wielding heavy hammers year-round was identical among them.
The four of them standing there looked like four wild dogs breaking into a flock of swans, completely out of place with the elegant atmosphere of Moon Pavilion.
The surrounding noble students successively frowned, disgust flashing in their eyes, yet intimidated by the fierce aura emanating from these four men, none dared to step forward easily and reprimand them.
"Where is Tang Yuehua? Call her out to see me!"
Tang Hu strained his throat, his muffled thunder-like voice exploding within the hall, making some exquisite porcelain vibrate slightly.
Seeing this, the guards of Moon Pavilion immediately rushed forward.
However, they did not draw their weapons like they did with other troublemakers. Instead, following Luo Nan's earlier instructions, they wore professional fake smiles on their faces, slightly turned aside, and made a gesture of invitation.
"The four of you, the Pavilion Master and Lord Luo Nan have been waiting for a long time in the exclusive meeting room on the top floor. Please follow me." The captain of the guards said in a flat tone.
"Consider her sensible!"
Tang Hu let out a cold snort, a trace of greed and smugness flashing in his eyes.
In his view, since Tang Yuehua was so cooperative, she must have already prepared the one million gold coins.
After all, facing the illustrious reputation of Clear Sky Sect, how could a woman regarded as trash by the Sect have the courage to resist?
Following the guards, the four of them arrived unobstructed all the way to the meeting room on the top floor.
"Bang!"
Without even knocking on the door, Tang Hu directly raised a foot and brutally kicked open the carved wooden door of the meeting room.
Inside the spacious and bright meeting room, Tang Yuehua was sitting upright on the sofa in the main seat, holding a cup of top-grade fragrant tea in her hand, gently skimming away the foam.
Today, she wore a luxurious silver court long dress, setting off her graceful and luxurious temperament to the fullest.
Facing the rude intrusion of Tang Hu and the others, she did not even lift her eyelids. Her breathtakingly beautiful face was covered with frost, and her gaze was indifferent.
Meanwhile, by the window next to Tang Yuehua, Luo Nan was standing with his arms crossed over his chest, leaning lazily against the windowsill.
Sunlight spilled over his handsome face, making it difficult for people to see the bone-chilling murderous intent deep within his eyes.
"Tang Yuehua, the two-day deadline has arrived!"
Tang Hu strode up to the conference table, slammed his hands fiercely onto the tabletop, and looked down condescendingly at Tang Yuehua.
He said in an arrogant tone: "Cut the crap, have the one million gold coins been prepared?"
"Hurry up and hand them over, we still have to rush back to the Sect to report our mission!"
"If they haven't been prepared, or if you dare to play any tricks... Hmph, you know the Sect's rules and punishments! Don't blame me then for not remembering our fellow-Sect ties!"
Tang Yuehua slowly put down the teacup in her hand. She raised her head and looked at Tang Hu with the gaze of looking at a dead person.
"Money?" Tang Yuehua's voice was as cold as ice, "Why on earth should the money of my Moon Pavilion be given to you?"
Tang Hu was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting Tang Yuehua to dare speak to him like this, and his expression instantly darkened:
"Tang Yuehua, what do you mean by this? Do you want to defy the Elder's command?!"
Just at this moment, Luo Nan, who had not spoken all along, slowly straightened his body.
He strode forward with his long legs, walking unhurriedly to Tang Yuehua's side. One hand rested extremely naturally on Tang Yuehua's fragrant shoulder, and his arrogant gaze swept across the four men of Tang Hu.
"Is her meaning hard to understand? Then I will translate it for you."
"Moon Pavilion will not give Clear Sky Sect even a single bronze coin."
"Not only that."
"You just kicked and broke the door of Moon Pavilion, and you even dared to shout at my woman. Now, I'll give you a chance."
"Kneel on the ground immediately, kowtow three loud kowtows to apologize, and then get the hell out of Heaven Dou City without stopping. That way, you can still leave safely."
Luo Nan paused, his gaze instantly turning icy: "If you don't cooperate, then the consequences... bear them yourselves!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air inside the meeting room seemed to freeze for a moment.
Immediately following, Tang Hu, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the World, suddenly raised his head and let out a deafening roar of laughter.
"Hahahaha! You're going to crack me up! What the hell are you?!"
Tang Hu laughed so hard tears were almost coming out. He pointed at Luo Nan, his face full of disdain and arrogance:
"You must be the kept gigolo man raised by Tang Yuehua, right? I was wondering who gave her the confidence, turns out it's you, courting death!"
"Boom!"
Accompanied by Tang Hu's wild laughter, an extremely formidable wave of Soul Power erupted from within his body.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—a full seven best-configured spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, their dazzling light illuminating the entire meeting room brightly.
At the same time, the three robust men behind him also stepped forward in unison, six spirit rings lighting up on each of their bodies.
One Spirit Saint! Three Spirit Emperors!
"Did you see that? This lord is a dignified Level 71 Battle Spirit Saint, and these three brothers of mine are also Spirit Emperors in the sixties!"
"We come from the number one Sect in the World, Clear Sky Sect, and our Spirit is the number one Tool Spirit, Clear Sky Hammer!"
Tang Hu slapped his chest extremely arrogantly, looking at Luo Nan with contemptuous eyes:
"I inquired about you before I came. I heard that you have good talent and reached the Spirit Saint level at a young age. But so what?"
"An unorganized stray Spirit Saint from the outside World dares to talk big in front of Clear Sky Sect? Who gave you the courage to be this arrogant?!"
Hearing Tang Hu's words, Luo Nan was clearly stunned for a moment.
"I am a Spirit Saint?"
Luo Nan tilted his head slightly, and a thought instantly flashed through his mind.
His eighth spirit ring, the hundred-thousand-year eighth spirit ring—that was personally hunted down by Tang Xiao with his own hands to help him!
If other people might not be able to confirm his strength, Tang Xiao certainly knew. At the very least, what he knew would be much more than what others knew!
"I see. Being used as a spear by their own Elder without even knowing it, what a pathetic bunch of fools."
Luo Nan instantly figured it out. Tang Hu deliberately didn't tell Tang Hu and the higher-ups of Clear Sky Sect that he was at least a Spirit Douluo, which meant these people were most likely the ones Tang Xiao wanted to deal with.
It was inconvenient to deal with them inside the Sect, so under the pretext of looking for Moon Pavilion, he was getting rid of dissidents.
Tang Xiao, this old fellow, looked thick-browed and big-eyed, but he was also full of bad intentions!
Borrowing a knife to kill someone!
