"Is there anything special about that palace?"

"That is the core of the formation of the entire Yandu. It is also the strongest area of the formation. The things inside are quite special."

Jiang Jiu didn't explain further. She walked on the street holding Lu Yan's arm with both hands, their bodies very close, a little affectionate, as if she did it on purpose.

He raised his head and squinted at the camera, and sure enough, part of the camera was following the two of them.

"Sister, your family is watching you now."

"Ah, I told them I would bring my boyfriend back, so I'll act more like one."

"Do you need me to hold you?"

Lu Yan couldn't help but tease, but Jiang Jiu didn't even raise his head:

"You were going to walk down the street holding Li Xisheng in your arms. You were using too much force. This is fine for now."

The surveillance footage was moved, and the news that "Jiang Jiu and her boyfriend from the countryside are back" was immediately heard by the relevant people.

Chapter 168 Various forces.

As the news spread, people had different reactions. Inside the Jiang Family Manor, an old man was sitting by the lake fishing. The water in his bucket was crystal clear. A middle-aged man came up to the old man and smiled when he saw the bucket.

"Grandpa, you're out of luck again."

"This fishing thing, how can you call it the Air Force!"

The calm old man suddenly blew his beard and glared: "Why can't I catch any fish? Because I'm kind, you know, otherwise I would have caught all the fish here long ago!"

"You are saying,"

The man did not argue. After a moment's hesitation, he handed the crystal screen to the old man. "My sister is back, and she brought her boyfriend with her."

"Oh, is that the pretty boy? Let me see."

Taking the screen, the old man watched the video. He saw his great-granddaughter holding the hand of a well-dressed man in a suit, grinning with a disdainful and helpless expression:

"Forget it, as long as this guy treats Jiu well."

"Well, about this... please don't be angry."

The middle-aged man smiled apologetically and opened another video. It was exactly the video of Lu Yan and Li Xisheng participating in the event at the Li Family Manor.

"This boy seems to be still with his local girl."

Looking at the screen, the old man couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. He exerted force with his fingers, cracking the crystal screen. His momentum blew away the surrounding dead grass and fallen leaves. Just when the young man thought his ancestor was about to explode, the old man's anger quickly subsided, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes:

"That's not right. Could it be that this guy is used as a shield by Jiu?"

"Maybe that's possible. He and my sister probably don't have much close contact."

"Tsk, forget it."

Flipping back to the previous video, the old man gritted his teeth at the two men's hands, threw the screen back to the man, and said, "Out of sight, out of mind." "Anyway, those guys who have intentions towards Jiu will come to challenge me. We'll see then. Don't help."

"I understand, Great Grandfather."

Seeing that the old man had no intention of interfering, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, stepped back with the crystal screen, and when he was away from the old man's sight, he took out his mobile phone and sent a "no problem" expression to Jiang Jiu.

As he was about to go out, the man frowned at the sight of a man and woman approaching him. He stared at them coldly, but the man smiled.

"Hey, Jiang Ya, I heard that your sister is back, and she brought a country bumpkin who is much younger than her. She is really uneducated."

"If you have the guts, try saying this in front of my great-grandfather or my sister, and see if you get beaten half to death."

Jiang Ya stroked his stubble, his expression becoming fierce: "Or do you want to practice with me?"

"Humph, I don't bother talking to a lunatic like you."

Subconsciously raising his hand to press the shoulder, the tit-for-tat man pulled his female companion away from Jiang Ya, showing weakness. Although he called her Sister Jiang Jiu, the middle-aged man restrained his momentum and walked away.

On the other side, the Xia family, a wealthy family in Yandu.

He was dressed in ancient scholar's attire, with his hair tied up like a modest gentleman. He drank tea, but his fingers kept clicking on the projection screen to refresh it. Suddenly, he saw new information related to Jiang Jiu.

[Shocking! Jiang Jiu, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, was seen being intimate with a man from another city, walking hand in hand on the street.]

The expensive antique teacup suddenly shattered, and the young man quickly clicked on the news. Some blurry videos and pictures were uploaded to the news website. The pink-haired girl in the pictures was obviously Jiang Jiu.

The other man in a suit was also known to many people who were collecting intelligence on Jiang Jiu. His name was Lu Yan. All they knew was that he had a low background. The witness originally thought that he was something like an "apprentice," "student," or "subordinate."

It now seems that he is either a shield or he really has some feelings for Jiang Jiu.

The young man in ancient costume glanced at the news and gritted his teeth when he saw that Lu Yan had just attended the Li family banquet yesterday. Many people thought at the same time that this kid might want to have two wives.

There is no problem for ordinary people. In the world of card masters, there are not many restrictions on marriage. For one party, as long as the other party is willing, they can have many wives and husbands.

The problem is that this is "Jiang Jiu", the most beloved eldest daughter of the Jiang family. It's okay for her to do things in private, but Lu Yan can be said to have brought things that should have been kept in private into the open.

This country bumpkin is really not afraid of being beaten to death by Jiang Jiu. Oh, judging from the situation, she should know. Should I say that the country bumpkin is really not afraid of being beaten to death by the old man of the Jiang family?

Or is it just a shield?

His thoughts were a little confused and he rubbed his temples. Just as he closed the news, someone sent a message to the young man in ancient costume.

【You know everything now, right?】

【understood. 】

[Don't worry about whether he's a shield or Miss Jiang really likes him. Anyway, find a way to keep that guy away from Miss Jiang...]

Similar things happened in many places. In short, out of interests and emotions, the young people took action and planned to teach this countryman a lesson and tell him that he and Jiang Jiu were from two completely different worlds.

As for beating him to death, it is definitely not the case, but crippling him is inevitable. It would be best to scare Lu Yan and reduce his favorability in Jiang Jiu's heart as much as possible.

"hiss--"

Lu Yan, who had Jiang Jiu accompany him shopping and was familiar with Yan City, felt his hair stand on end and shuddered violently. His fingers moved rhythmically subconsciously, his muscles tensed up into a fighting posture and he looked around.

Seeing this, the girl moved closer, pointed at the camera, and gave Lu Yan a friendly smile, but what she said was not a good word:

"Why, someone wants to kill you."

It's not a question, the tone is very affirmative, after all, this is something that is foreseeable.

Lu Yan nodded and said, "There are no less than dozens of malicious intentions. Sister Jiang, you are really so hot-headed. You are obviously from the older generation, but you are snatched away by us young people."

Jiang Jiu did not fight back against the boy's teasing. A look of confusion and a little pain flashed across his eyes, and he continued to explain the situation:

"For wealthy families, profit comes first. Most, no, everyone, comes here for my identity as the 'Eldest Miss of the Jiang Family'.

Besides, I was frozen, so my actual age isn't much different from yours, and I'm pretty. That's probably why those guys chose to chase me."

So sad, will I always be this short from now on?

"You have a crush on me because I don't know what your identity means. I've thought about hugging you."

Lu Yan asked in a low voice, Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes at him, and finally said seriously:

"It's just our daily interactions. I feel relaxed when I'm with you. Besides, I'm using you as a shield this time. You just hooked up with Li Xisheng and now you want to hook up with me, right?"

To outsiders, it looked like the couple was flirting, and the group of people who were secretly observing became even more jealous. Lu Yan, on the other hand, felt a little sad about Jiang Jiu's situation in Yan City.

"Many people are watching, and it's probably not just for the Jiang family. Sister Jiang herself has some concerns."

Lu Yan didn't delve into it further and turned around to continue asking about Yan City itself.

169

Chapter 169 There really is such a playboy.

"Not going to your house?"

"...staying in a hotel, that's not my home. Coming back is just a mission."

A barely perceptible gloom flashed across Jiang Jiu's face. He took Lu Yan to a luxury hotel, booked a double room, and went into the bedroom with him.

A huge heart-shaped bed was placed in the center of the room. It was obvious that it was a couple's room. Jiang Jiu at least didn't show any shyness on the surface:

"Let's sleep together for the next few days. We should do the whole show."

"Sis, if you have no objection, I certainly have no objection either. After all, I am the one who is taking advantage."

Lu Yan lay down, sinking completely into the bed, and said in a muffled voice: "Where is the largest card store? Take me to see it."

"Okay, put your things down and let's go. Maybe we'll run into someone old."

Jiang Jiu did not refuse, and they went together to one of the tall buildings they saw at the top of the troposphere. The [Mailong Commercial Building] covered a large area and reached the sky, which was intimidating.

After entering the building, the store manager pulled Lu Yan's sleeve and asked, "What kind of cards do you want to buy?"

"Dragon-like fist and kick techniques, right?"

Bathing in Dragon Blood has basic combat skills, but compared to its own skill reserves, Lu Yan feels that he still needs to learn some skills that can better match its momentum.

"Come with me, I'll see if there are any corresponding cards."

As locals who are familiar with the place, Jiang Jiu and Lu Yan came to the fantasy area. As she entered the relevant requirements of the card into the shared machine, the computer immediately gave the store where the card was located after analysis.

Arriving at a shop called [Cang Jin Pavilion], Lu Yan asked the owner about dragon-type fist and kick techniques. Jiang Jiu glanced at his phone and turned away.

"Remember to wait for me in this store. Don't run around. There must be someone waiting for you."

"understood,"

Lu Yan picked up the card given by the boss and said, "If someone wants to kill me, it's okay for me to kill them back, right?"

"No problem. If the Security Bureau dares to do anything to you, I'll just make a scene in there."

As Jiang Jiu left, Lu Yan focused his attention on the cards: [Tianlongwu] [Yunlongbian] [Longyasha]...

His eyes flashed with fluorescence, and he used his magical skills to detect all the cards here. The upper limits were not very good, so he could only try to choose the skills that best suited him.

Before Lu Yan could make up his mind, footsteps sounded from behind him. A hand reached out from the side, grabbing all the cards on the table, and the other hand quickly took out a phone:

"Boss, give me all the dragon cards in the store."

Lu Yan turned around to look at the new customer. The handsome young man with shoulder-length hair looked at him with a malicious and provocative look, grinning and saying:

"I'm sorry, but you don't want these cards, do you?"

"..."

Stroking his chin and staring at the young man in front of him, Lu Yan pretended to be puzzled, and finally shook his head: "It's okay, take everything you want."

The calm and even indifferent mood made the young man who provoked Lu Yan unable to hold back his smile. He frowned slightly and said, "Hey, your name is Lu Yan, right? You don't know who I am? You don't know why I'm here?"

Continuing to feign ignorance, he shook his head to indicate that he didn't know the young man, and indeed, he didn't. He deliberately used this to provoke the first "challenger" in front of him, trying to get him to make the first move:

"You must know why you're here. You just want to intimidate me."

Lu Yan's first sentence was quite normal, but the next sentence directly made the visitor furious:

"The problem is that Sister Jiang told me about a lot of people, like the [Virtual Assassin], [Golden Flash], and so on. I also know what they look like. As for you, Sister Jiang never mentioned it to me."

"Uh uh, who are you?"

May I ask where you are from, passerby A?

This was exactly what Lu Yan wanted to express, and his meaning was accurately conveyed to the ears of the hostile young man. Combined with Lu Yan's expressionless face, it was even more sarcastic.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and a strong aura emanated from the man. Before he could make a move, the owner of the shop tapped the table lightly, suppressing the young man's murderous intent:

"If you want to fight, please get out."

"I don't want to fight, boss. Please bring out all the dragon-related, fist-and-kick skills in your shop. I want to see if this nameless gentleman can buy them all."

Shrugging his shoulders, with no intention of fighting the young man, Lu Yan casually asked: "So what's your name? How does your strength compare to [Golden Flash] and [Virtual Assassin]?"

Finding the boss's pressure even stronger than his own, the young man suppressed his murderous intent and watched the store manager take out a pile of cards. He said coldly:

"【Dragon Fury】Zhou Hun, you will know my name. Lü Yan, do you dare to duel with me in the official fighting arena?"

Zhou Hun did not answer the following question. It was obvious that he did not dare to compare himself with those two people. He was obviously completely scared.

"I dare not,"

Lu Yan said it nonchalantly, even finding an excuse for himself, "I want to keep my trump card to fight against Golden Flash, so I have nothing to say to you."

Zhou Hun, with a tuft of golden hair on his head, took a few deep breaths. Seeing that Lu Yan was about to choose a dragon card, he slammed his hand on the table and said, "Pack up all the cards here!"

"...Honestly, there's no need for you to buy so many cards just to target me. You really have too much money to spend."
