Third Lu glanced at Ying Dong and Ying Xi standing to the side, along with Xia Yan, who was called over to help by Meng Yunzheng, and Yuan Gui, who kept silent but had eyes wide with anger, and felt slightly reassured.

These four people were all skilled fighters, capable of taking on ten opponents each. With them here, what was there to fear?

He then looked at Shu Rui, Erniu, and Dabao standing behind him and felt somewhat satisfied.

Though these three youngsters were still young, they had started learning martial arts at Shu Yu’s suggestion the year before last. Although it wasn’t long, and their comprehension varied, they hadn’t become very proficient.

However, to be fair, their movements were flexible, and they could certainly protect themselves.

Then, Third Lu looked at the old lady, Granny Fang, Hua Xian standing at the back, and Shu Yu, who was like a stabilizer beside them, and finally felt completely at ease.

With Yu around, his niece who dared to challenge an entire village of the Ruan family single-handedly, what was he afraid of?

Third Lu retracted his gaze and looked back towards the direction of the Pan family gate.

Chen Bing had already walked to the door, looking at the unfamiliar Third Lu with some confusion and asking, "May I ask, who are you...?"

"You are Chen Bing."

"Yes, I am Chen Bing. I wonder if this lord has some business with me. Have we met before?" Chen Bing’s tone was still polite, but seeing the clothing of Third Lu and others, there was a subtle hint of flattery in his attitude.

Third Lu sneered, "It’s good that you are Chen Bing."

He raised his hand, just about to signal Ying Dong and Ying Xi to step forward.

But before his hand could drop, Lu Erbai was the first to charge forward, throwing a punch directly at Chen Bing.

"Ah..."

The crowd was stunned. No one expected someone to start a fight as soon as they arrived.

Weren’t they just talking nicely? It seemed very polite and harmonious, so why did they start throwing punches right after introductions?

Chen Bing took a punch to the face, but fortunately, Chen He, standing behind him, caught him.

The two shouted angrily in unison, "What are you doing? Who are you to hit people?"

"I’m hitting you."

The second to rush in was Yuan Gui, who landed a punch on Chen Bing’s stomach. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Third Lu blinked, damn, he hesitated for just a moment, and now he was the one left behind? No way, the third punch should have been his.

Third Lu ran forward as well, but Yuan Gui’s punch had enough force that Chen Bing fell to the ground and couldn’t get up.

Third Lu frowned and could only lift his foot to kick.

However, with people rushing in one after another, even the slowest to respond would react by now.

The Chen and Pan family members immediately rushed in, "Who are you people, coming here and hitting us? Do you have no regard for law and reason? Stop, stop it!"

It was Chen Bing’s brother-in-law speaking, quite elderly, supported by his son, yet all he did was scold loudly, letting the younger people and servants block them, not daring to step forward himself.

The combined members of the Chen and Pan families were numerous, quickly dragging Chen Bing back.

Third Lu swung and missed, feeling quite unwilling.

Looking at Chen Bing being barricaded, he was infuriated, shouting loudly, "Ying Dong, move them aside for me. I’m going to beat this heartless man to death."

Heartless man??

This name made everyone present pause for a moment, just long enough for Ying Dong, Ying Xi, Yuan Gui, and the three young boys who ran in to step forward and push away those in the way.
