Supervisor Jiya, with a guard from the City Lord's Mansion, hurried to the room where Fang Ruhai was.
"Pavilion Master, someone is coming from the City Lord's Mansion." Jiya said outside the door.
"Come in." Fang Ruhai's voice came from inside.
Jiya entered the room with her guards.
"Is something wrong, City Lord?" Fang Ruhai looked at the black-clothed guards at the City Lord's Mansion.
He has a very good relationship with the City Lord, so if anything happens, for example, if Qiao Ruxue wants him to go over and talk about something, he will directly ask the guards to come to the Zhenbao Pavilion to invite him. Therefore, he is also used to the guards of the City Lord's Mansion coming to the Zhenbao Pavilion.
.
"Lord Pavilion Lord, if you don't have anything important to deal with now, Lord City Lord would like to invite you to come over." The guard bowed and said.
"I understand, let's go." Fang Ruhai nodded.
The city lord often invited him over, and most of the time, it was just for drinking tea and chatting, and usually nothing serious happened. Therefore, he didn't pay too much attention, and waved his hand and said to the guards of the city lord's palace.
Less than half an hour later, Fang Ruhai appeared in the city lord's palace.
Zheng Dongxue, the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion, personally led Fang Ruhai to the reception room.
"What's going on?" Fang Ruhai's heart moved slightly.
Because Qiao Ruxue usually invited him over, but she had never been to the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion. This time, it was obviously different, so what exactly was going on?
"Steward Zheng, why did the city lord come to see me?" Fang Ruhai asked casually.
"Lord Pavilion Master, I don't know the specific matter, but it should be related to the Wang family. Just now, Wang Lieyang, the head of the Wang family, came to see the Lord of the City. I didn't know what they were talking about because I wasn't there. But not long after, the Lord of the City ordered the guards.
Go to Zhenbao Pavilion and invite you over." Zheng Dongxue turned around and said.
"Oh, thank you very much." Fang Ruhai smiled.
"It's a small matter." Zheng Dongxue also waved his hand. There was no need to hide this bit of information.
Although Zheng Dongxue is an innately strong man and the steward of the city lord's mansion, his attitude is still very respectful in front of Fang Ruhai. Fang Ruhai is a person of the same level as the city lord. As a steward, he really doesn't dare to put on airs in front of him. Of course, Zheng Dongxue
I am usually polite to other people.
"Pavilion Master Fang is here."
When Qiao Ruxue saw the housekeeper walking in with Fang Ruhai, she stood up and said with a smile.
Wang Lieyang naturally stood up to greet him.
"City Lord!" Fang Ruhai bowed his hand to Qiao Ruxue, then turned his eyes and fell on Wang Lieyang, "The Lord of the Wang family is here too!"
"Yes, I have something to do with the city lord, so I came here. Hello, Pavilion Master Fang." Wang Lieyang bowed slightly and said with a smile.
"Sit down!" Qiao Ruxue said to the two of them with a smile.
The three of them all sat down.
The housekeeper Zheng Xuedong withdrew. If there was anything he needed to know, the city lord Qiao Ruxue would definitely let him stay. Since the city lord didn't say this, he didn't need to stay.
"The city lord asked me to come over. Do you have anything?" Fang Ruhai's eyes narrowed slightly and he smiled.
"There is indeed something I want to ask Pavilion Master Fang." Qiao Ruxue nodded.
She glanced at Wang Lieyang, and then said, "The Wang family's son, Wang Xiaotian, had a battle with Lu Chen from the Lu family in the Zhenbao Pavilion not long ago. I wonder if Pavilion Master Fang knows about this?"
Fang Ruhai heard from Jia Ya about the battle between Lu Chen and Wang Xiaotian. Fang Ruhai was a little surprised by what he just learned. He did not expect that Lu Chen was actually in the realm of marrow cleansing and could defeat Wang Xiaotian, a mid-marrow cleansing practitioner.
However, considering that Lu Chen is already a senior pharmacist at a young age, defeating Wang Xiaotian is not shocking enough.
It seems that some miracles always happen to Lu Chen!
Now, Qiao Ruxue asked him to come over and ask about this matter. Apparently, it was the head of the Wang family who told the city lord about this matter.
But, why did Qiao Ruxue ask him, the master of the Treasure Pavilion, to come here?
Does Wang Lieyang still want to take responsibility for this matter?
Thinking of this, Fang Ruhai glanced at Wang Lieyang with some displeasure. If Wang Lieyang really wanted to compensate him for something, then he had found the wrong person.
"I know about this." Fang Ruhai nodded and said, the smile on his face had disappeared.
Wang Lieyang had been observing Fang Ruhai's expression, and when he saw that Fang Ruhai's face turned cold, his heart suddenly moved.
Could it be that Lu Chen was really Fang Ruhai's illegitimate son?
"Haha, the son of the head of the Wang family was injured by Lu Chen in the martial arts arena, so the head of the Wang family was very angry and wanted to ask the Lu family for an explanation." Of course, Qiao Ruxue could also see Fang Ruhai's displeasure.
He chuckled lightly and continued, "It's just that before that, the head of the Wang family wanted to confirm the matter. He got some news that Lu Chen is the illegitimate son of Pavilion Master Fang. I don't know whether this is true or false."
Qiao Ruxue herself was actually very curious.
For a strong person like her, there are not many things that interest her in the entire Qingfeng City.
If Fang Ruhai had an illegitimate child, it would be something worthy of gossip. Therefore, she looked at Fang Ruhai with interest.
"What?" Fang Ruhai's breath suddenly condensed.
Lu Chen, is my illegitimate son?
He didn't expect that Qiao Ruxue would ask him such a question when she called him over.
Fang Ruhai's face turned a little green!
"This is nonsense!"
"Lu Chen, when did you become my illegitimate son? This is ridiculous!" Fang Ruhai rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"Master Wang, where did you get this news? Don't you know that Lu Chen is the son of Lu Yizhou and the direct grandson of Lu Tianxing?" Fang Ruhai was really angry and was very dissatisfied with Wang Lieyang.
"This...Pavilion Master Fang, please calm down. It's just a rumor. It's just a rumor. I just want to confirm it to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." Wang Lieyang quickly expressed his apology.
When he heard Fang Ruhai's denial, he felt relieved. At this time, Fang Ruhai still denied it, which proved that Lu Chen was indeed not Fang Ruhai's illegitimate son. If so, Fang Ruhai would definitely not deny it, because Fang Ruhai should be able to be sure that he wanted to
He took action against Lu Chen.
If someone does something to his own son, even if he wants to hide this information that the outside world does not know, he will not deny it.
If Lu Chen was really Fang Ruhai's son, Fang Ruhai would definitely point it out to Wang Lieyang and warn him not to touch Lu Chen.
"Calm down!" Fang Ruhai glared, "Master Wang, you know the rules of the Zhenbao Pavilion. It's good that Wang Xiaotian is your son, but in the Zhenbao Pavilion, he is not only the resource to go to the martial arts arena with Lu Chen, he even takes the initiative.
Provoke Lu Chen. In this case, even if he is killed by Chen Lu on the fighting stage, you should not cause trouble to Lu Chen or the Lu family."
"Pavilion Master Fang, I know that too. However, Lu Chen is too cruel. He ruined Xiaotian's martial arts career. If Xiaotian was just defeated, I definitely wouldn't say a word, but Xiaotian, this kid, has a martial arts career.
He was completely destroyed! The martial arts meridians were damaged, and he has no hope of breaking through to the innate realm in this life." Wang Lieyang was trembling all over, and his blood was rising.
I don't know if he was just pretending, or if he was really so angry that he couldn't control himself.
"Master Wang, do you mean to kill Lu Chen?" Fang Ruhai frowned and said in a deep voice.
"I must make Lu Chen pay the price. Otherwise, people outside will say that my Wang family is afraid of the Lu family." Wang Lieyang gritted his teeth and looked at Fang Ruhai.
"Humph, Lu Chen is the honorary pharmacist of my Zhenbao Pavilion. If you want to touch Lu Chen, I can't agree." Fang Ruhai simply said it.
If you, Wang Lieyang, want to touch Lu Chen, you are going against us like Ru Hai. You'd better make a decision after weighing it carefully.
In fact, Lu Chen was not the honorary pharmacist of Zhenbao Pavilion.
Although Lu Chen and Zhenbao Pavilion have some cooperation, Zhenbao Pavilion has not invited Lu Chen to become their honorary pharmacist. Of course, Zhenbao Pavilion does have this plan, but it has not had time to discuss it with Chen Lu.
At this time, Fang Ruhai was obviously angry with Wang Lieyang, so he said such words. Of course, he also wanted to keep Lu Chen, a senior pharmacist who cooperated with Zhenbao Pavilion.
"Honorary pharmacist?" Wang Lieyang's eyes suddenly darkened, "Haha, Pavilion Master Fang, I have always respected you. However, if you want to stop me from avenging my son, it may take a lot of effort.
.”
Wang Lieyang is not a clay figure either. He is afraid of Fang Ruhai, but if pressed, he dares to jump out and resist.
"Master Wang, are you threatening me?" Fang Ruhai also condensed his breath and stared at Wang Lieyang.
"Both of you!" City Lord Qiao Ruxue frowned when she saw the two of them pushing against each other. She stood up and gently raised her arms.
Fang Ruhai and Wang Lieyang both looked at Qiao Ruxue.
This is the city lord’s palace!
Even if they want to quarrel or even fight, it is obviously inappropriate in the city lord's mansion.
"Listen to me, I think about this, how about you each take a step back?" Qiao Ruxue looked at the two of them.
"City Lord..." Wang Lieyang looked gloomy.
"Master Wang, I don't want large-scale killings to occur in Qingfeng City under my control. I hope you can consider my suggestion." Qiao Ruxue said sternly.
Seeing that Qiao Ruxue seemed a little angry, Wang Lieyang fell silent.
"I'm going to ask the head of the Lu family to come over and see if the Lu family can give some compensation to the Wang family," Qiao Ruxue said.
Then, she called the guards in and asked them to invite Lu Jinyun, the head of the Lu family.
Wang Lieyang could only remain silent. If he persisted at this time, he would offend Qiao Ruxue, Fang Ruhai, and the entire Lu family.
Offending so many people is too much for the Wang family.
About half an hour later, Lu Jinyun arrived at the city lord's mansion.
Although the guard of the City Lord's Mansion did not say why the City Lord was looking for him, as soon as he saw Wang Lieyang, he knew that it must be related to Lu Chen's injury to Wang Xiaotian.
"Hello City Lord, hello Master Fang." Lu Jinyun handed over to two of them.
As for Wang Lieyang, he just ignored it.
Before, the relationship between the Wang family and the Lu family was tense. Now that Lu Chen injured Wang Xiaotian, the relationship is even more tense. Say hello? Let’s forget it!
"Master Lu, please sit down!" Qiao Ruxue nodded politely and said to Lu Jinyun.
"The city lord asked me to come, what's the matter?" Lu Jinyun asked directly after sitting down.
"Humph!" Wang Lieyang snorted coldly, with an eyebrow raised and an eyebrow raised.
"It's because Wang Lieyang, the son of the head of the Wang family, was injured by Lu Chen. Now I am the mediator. I hope that your two families will not make the matter bigger." Qiao Ruxue said.
"This matter..." Lu Jinyun narrowed his eyes.
Lu Jinyun felt happy thinking about Lu Chen hurting Wang Xiaotian.
You must know that there are three major families in Qingfeng City. Although the Lu family is one of the three major families, it is the weakest among the three families. Compared with the Wang family, they are somewhat inferior.
