Martial Arts Universe: With a single command, 100,000 iron cavalry will sweep across the martial wor

Su Qingfeng immediately realized that this old man was the one who had been secretly spying on them earlier. The fact that he could come and go freely at the Pegasus Ranch made him think of him immediately—this was most likely Shang Xiuke's father, Lu Miaozi.

At this moment, Black Widow also walked in. Upon seeing the bloodstains on Su Qingfeng's face, she hurriedly stepped forward:

"Master, what's wrong?"

Su Qingfeng was somewhat embarrassed; he couldn't very well say that the woman had broken his nose, so he could only vaguely reply:

"It's nothing, just a stray cat bumped into me."

"you……"

When Shang Xiufang heard Su Qingfeng call her a "wildcat," she glared at him and cursed him out.

Upon seeing Lu Miaozi, Shang Xiuke trembled and shouted:

"What are you doing here? Pegasus Ranch doesn't welcome you! Go back to your back mountain, or I'll have you kicked out!"

Shang Xiuke never expected Lu Miaozi to appear. The moment she saw him, she felt an overwhelming urge to kill him. If it weren't for her mother's dying wish, she would never have allowed Lu Miaozi to remain in the back mountain.

She recalled her childhood, how her mother repeatedly longed for his return, only to be met with pain. Even in death, her mother never saw this unfaithful man. Shang Xiuke felt no affection for this man who had never called her "father," only hatred and murderous intent.

Su Qingfeng looked at the agitated Shang Xiuke and could understand her feelings. Such a scumbag father was worse off without. Lu Miaozi was also shameless, having had an affair with the previous owner and even fathering a child, only to abandon her in the end.

If Lu Miaozi truly loved Zhu Yuyan, then why was he with Shang Xiuke's mother? After being injured by Zhu Yuyan, he even returned here to recuperate and live out his days—he's simply a despicable person.

Shang Xiuxun's sudden outburst of anger puzzled the other women present. They couldn't understand why she would get so angry at an elderly woman, and it even looked like she was about to hit her.

Lu Miaozi was equally shocked. He hadn't expected there to be so many experts in the room. Most of these women had already reached the Innate Realm, and there were even two Grandmaster-level figures among them. In particular, the white-haired woman's strength was unfathomable to him, which was truly astonishing.

Upon hearing Shang Xiuxun's words, Lu Miaozi blushed and remained silent for a moment. He had indeed made mistakes in the past, but for Shang Xiuxun's future, he had no choice but to come.

He walked up to Shang Xiuxun with a slightly hunched back, his tone filled with remorse:

"Xiuxun, I've come this time to find you a good marriage. This young man, Xu Ziling, is truly an outstanding individual. Pegasus Ranch can't be managed by you alone forever; you'll eventually have to get married. Xu Ziling is excellent in both character and martial arts; you two might as well get to know each other first. If you really don't get along, it's not too late to call it off."

"Get lost! It's none of your business!"

Xu Ziling frowned upon seeing this. Although he didn't know what had happened between the father and daughter, he couldn't stand Shang Xiuxun's treatment of her father.

He walked to Lu Miaozi's side and said to Shang Xiuxun:

"Mall owner, he is, after all, your father. How can you speak like that? Besides, he is old and has internal injuries. You should take him back to the ranch to care for him, instead of leaving him to live alone in the back mountains."

Shang Xiuxun turned and glared at the meddlesome Xu Ziling, angrily saying:

"Who do you think you are? Do you have any right to speak here? Xu Ziling, if you don't want to die here, leave immediately. Otherwise, none of you Jianghuai Army soldiers who came here today will leave!"

Lu Miaozi was anxious because Shang Xiuxun still refused to forgive him. He wanted to make the marriage happen no matter what, so that with Xu Ziling's help at the Pegasus Ranch in the future, Shang Xiuxun would have more support.

He looked at his angry daughter and continued to persuade her:

"Xiuxun, how can you say such a thing? Ziling was just pleading for me. I know you still can't forgive me, but I am still your father."

"Shang Zhen!"

Shang Xiuxun ignored him and called out directly towards the door.

Shang Zhen had been waiting outside the door, knowing that a fight was bound to break out inside sooner or later. However, this was ultimately the owner's family matter, and as an outsider, he shouldn't interfere. Upon hearing the call, he hurriedly entered and bowed.

"Owner".

Shang Xiuxun pointed at Lu Miaozi, Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong, and others, and coldly ordered:

"Take some men and drive them all out. From this day forward, they are not to set foot in Pegasus Ranch again."

"Owner, this..."

"Didn't you hear my order? Or do you intend to disobey?"

"Yes, owner. Someone, please remove all these people."

Seeing that Shang Xiuke had made up her mind, Shang Zhen immediately summoned more than twenty guards to surround Lu Miaozi and the others. He stared directly at Lu Miaozi and said coldly:

"Lu Miaozi, this is Pegasus Ranch. Please leave immediately."

"Shang Zhen, are you trying to kick me out?"

"That's right. Pegasus Ranch doesn't welcome you. Please make yourself at home."

"What if I don't leave?"

"Then don't blame us for taking action."

Lu Miaozi hadn't expected to be driven away from the Pegasus Ranch today. He glanced at the guards behind Shang Zhen, but didn't take them seriously—these guards, who hadn't even reached the Innate Realm, posed no threat to him. He was simply annoyed that Shang Xiuke still wouldn't forgive him.

Looking at the man before him, Shang Zhen recalled how he had wronged Shang Qingya years ago, and his heart was filled with unquenchable hatred. If it weren't for Lu Miaozi, the previous owner of the arena might not have passed away so early.

Lu Miaozi's presence at Pegasus Ranch is a disgrace to the ranch. If it weren't for the previous owner's order, how could he have been allowed to reside there for so long?

"Let's do it!"

Seeing that Lu Miaozi showed no intention of leaving, Shang Zhen said no more and directly gave orders to the guards.

The guards obeyed the order and attacked Lu Miaozi and his group with their swords drawn.

"Let me handle this!" Kou Zhong shouted as he saw the guards rushing towards him, lifting up the Well Moon and stepping forward to meet them.

"Don't hurt anyone!" Xu Ziling hurriedly reminded him. This was ultimately someone else's family matter, and he didn't want Kou Zhong to cause too much trouble.

"Know!"

Su Qingfeng leaned back in his chair, letting Black Widow wipe the blood from his nose. He watched as Kou Zhong effortlessly dispatched the guards, a sense of helplessness washing over him: Had Kou Zhong been holding back for too long? These were just ordinary guards; why was a master of the Innate Realm attacking so fiercely? Did he have some pent-up anger to vent?

Seeing that Kou Zhong dared to resist, Shang Xiuke realized that the ranch guards were no match for him. She turned and grabbed Su Yan beside her, saying urgently:

"Su Yan, send your bodyguards."

Su Yan was startled by the pull. What she saw was clearly a dispute between father and daughter; unsure whether to intervene, she could only ask in a low voice:

"Sister Shang, is this appropriate?"

"That's fine, hurry up!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Su Yan clapped her hands three times, and more than ten men in black suddenly appeared in the council hall, bowing to her in unison.

"Greetings, Princess."

Su Yan nodded to Shang Xiuke: "Sister Shang, these guards will obey your orders."

Shang Xiuke breathed a sigh of relief. She was very familiar with these guards; each of them was exceptionally skilled, otherwise they wouldn't have been sent to protect Su Yan.

Prepare the Qi-breaking crossbows. Kou Zhong, leave within three breaths, or don't even think about leaving again.

Kou Zhong knew something was wrong as soon as he saw Wu Xiangjun's black-clad figure appear. After Shang Xiuke gave the order, he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated to Xu Ziling and Lu Miaozi's side. He knew the power of the Qi-breaking crossbow; if he didn't dodge, he would be riddled with holes in an instant.

Lu Miaozi glanced at the little girl beside Shang Xiuke, her brows furrowing slightly. It was this girl who had come to the rescue when they were in danger at the Pegasus Ranch last time; the ten thousand heavily armored black cavalrymen in the arena were also her troops. Lu Miaozi had never known her identity, but now it seemed she and Shang Xiuke had a close relationship.

Lu Miaozi spoke directly to Su Yan: "Young lady, who are you? This is our family matter. I advise you not to let your subordinates interfere."

Su Yan hadn't expected the old man to come looking for her. She looked around, feeling helpless—why was everyone looking for a little girl like her? Turning her head, she saw her father leisurely reclining in a chair being served by the Black Widow, and knew that he wouldn't easily help her this time. She would have to rely on herself to help Shang Xiuke.

She smiled and asked Lu Miaozi, "Family matters? Is Kou Zhong your family? Is Xu Ziling your family?"

"Xu Ziling is my future son-in-law, and Kou Zhong is his brother. How can they not be considered family?"

"What is your surname?"

My surname is Lu.

"Tch, so you know your surname is Lu. You don't even know the surname of the owner of Pegasus Ranch, do you? Don't try to act all high and mighty here, you're just making a fool of yourself."

Lu Miaozi was stabbed in a sensitive spot. When he left Shang Qingya back then, did he ever think he would come back? By the time he returned severely injured, Shang Qingya had passed away, and Shang Xiuke had grown up and taken her mother's surname, which he was powerless to change.

Full of doubt, Lu Miaozi turned to Su Qingfeng and asked, "And who are you? How do you know about my past with Zhu Yuyan?"

Su Qingfeng looked at him mockingly: "Zhu Yuyan is my wife. How could I not know about your affairs?"

He was determined to anger the old man—Zhu Yuyan would be his woman in the future, how could he allow this old fellow to keep his eyes on her?

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaozi angrily retorted, "Impossible! How could Zhu Yuyan choose such a young man as you? Besides, you're only at the Innate Realm!"

Looking at the furious Lu Miaozi, Su Qingfeng continued to tease him: "Lu Miaozi, you don't believe me? Then why don't you ask Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong next to you? They should know what kind of relationship I have with Yin Kui Sect's Empress Zhu Yuyan."

Lu Miaozi immediately turned around and stared at Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, eager to confirm whether what he had just said was true or false—could Zhu Yuyan really be this man's wife?

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were also in a dilemma. The story of Wu Xiangjun and Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan had already spread throughout the martial arts world of the Sui Dynasty. They never imagined that the woman Lu Miaozi had been so obsessed with was actually Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan. Wasn't this courting death?

Seeing Lu Miaozi's intense gaze, Xu Ziling knew he couldn't hide it any longer and could only awkwardly say, "Senior Lu, what Lord Wu Xiang said... is indeed true."

"Really? It's actually true... Haha, I've waited my whole life, let down the woman who loved me, and in the end it's all for nothing."

Lu Miaozi burst into laughter as if he had gone mad.

He glared fiercely at Su Qingfeng, a murderous intent rising within him. What ability did this man possess to have won the heart of the beautiful Zhu Yuyan? Since he himself was not going to live much longer, he would definitely kill Zhu Yuyan's husband before he died, making her regret it for the rest of her life.

"You want to kill me?" Su Qingfeng sensed Lu Miaozi's murderous intent. It was understandable that a nearly insane old man would want to kill him to take revenge on Zhu Yuyan, but unfortunately—Lu Miaozi was likely to be disappointed.

"You must die."

Sensing the killing intent beside Su Qingfeng, Black Widow immediately stepped in front of him. If this frail old man were to make a move, she could take his life at any moment.

She would not allow Su Qingfeng to suffer even the slightest harm. She had already blamed herself for failing to protect her master when Su Qingfeng's nose was injured earlier, and this time, even if it meant getting hurt herself, she would never let anything happen to him.
