Chapter 748: Conflict

The little girl was still in shock. She looked at the brother who had saved her, standing in front of her. Her pair of bell-like eyes filled with innocence, and she stared at Xiao Luo as if she wanted to imprint his face deep into her mind.

"Are you hurt in any way?" Xiao Luo asked her.

The little girl shook her head. "No," she answered. Then she asked Xiao Luo, "Big Brother, are you hurt?"

"Your Big Brother is born with divine strength. Even if an elephant had charged over, it would be the elephant that would die. What could a horse do to him?" answered the mini-sized Duck Emperor as he flapped his wings in the air.

When the little girl heard that, she looked at Xiao Luo with admiration. The children born in the Arcana Land had dreams of becoming powerful, and she was no exception.

"Xinyi! Xinyi!"

At that moment, the little girl's mother ran over in tears and hugged the little girl tightly.

"Mommy, I'm fine. It was Big Brother who saved me!" the little girl said gratefully.

The woman hurriedly bowed and thanked Xiao Luo. "Thank you, thank you."

"Just take her out of here."

Xiao Luo could feel the hostility from the young man on the horse. Since he was going to save them, he took full responsibility. Xiao Luo did not want the young man to lash out at the mother and daughter.

The woman seemed to know the person riding the black horse, and he was not a person one would want to offend. After bowing and thanking Xiao Luo repeatedly, she quickly left with her daughter.

TOK! TOK TOK!

A few tall horses trotted over, and the riders were rich young men and women dressed in expensive silk and satin.

They got off their horses and went to the aid of the green-robed youth who was riding the black horse.

"Young Master Song, what happened?" a fawning woman asked.

"My mood has been ruined by that son of b*tch!" The green-robed youth coldly glared at Xiao Luo with eyes filled with wrath.

"I can't believe there's such an ignorant person in Stan City who even dares to disturb your enjoyment. He must be tired of living," a man said indignantly.

"That guy is a goner. Those are the Young Masters and Young Mistresses of the dignitaries of Stan City. They are above the law. The guy has provoked them today, and I'm afraid they won't let him go."

"That's right. The head is Song Feiyu from the Song family. They are one of the two most influential families in our Stan City who can do anything they wish. Worse still, Song Feiyu is a ruthless, conceited dandy who often bullies and humiliates the citizens of Stan City. He throws his weight around because he belongs to a powerful family. There is a rumor that he had someone's eyes gouged out simply because the person looked at him a few times on the streets."

"Stop talking about it. If Song Feiyu cast his eyes on us, we won't have it easy. It's better to watch from afar!"

The surrounding crowd murmured in whispers. None of the stall owners who had their stalls overturned dared to pick up their splattered wares from the ground as they were afraid of Song Feiyu. If they had the bad fortune to get on his wrong side, then a calamity would surely befall them.

Xiao Luo did not bother to argue with these conceited fools. Since the little girl and her mother had already left, there was no need for him to remain any longer. He needed to go to the Danhui Sect to use the teleportation portal and make his way to Twilight City, 500,000 kilometers away.

He grabbed Duck Emperor, flying in mid-air, and put him back into his pocket. Xiao Luo did not allow the duck to speak any further and walked away.

"Want to leave? Have you got my permission?" Song Feiyu asked coldly.

Five to six of his companions immediately blocked Xiao Luo's path. All of them stared fiercely at Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo stopped, turned around, and spoke to Song Feiyu in an indifferent voice. He said, "I don't want to cause trouble!"

Upon hearing that, Song Feiyu and his companions burst into laughter.

"Are you f*cking crazy? You say you don't want to cause trouble, but you have already done so!" said a man in embroidered clothes.

The fawning woman walked back to Song Feiyu's side and smiled playfully at Xiao Luo. "Look at your silly appearance. Don't tell me you don't know who he is."

"Do I need to know?" Xiao Luo glanced coldly at Song Feiyu.

The Duck Emperor had said nothing all that time because Xiao Luo had used his True Inner Force to seal its throat. He wanted to prevent the duck from speaking aloud. Otherwise, the Duck Emperor would have flown out of his pocket with an attitude. He had a habit of uttering scathing remarks, and that drew public attention.

"Looks like he does not know. Maybe he just came to Stan City from somewhere else."

The fawning woman said, "Okay. I'm in a good mood today. So, I will offer you some important information and let you know who you cannot provoke in Stan City. This is the Song family's, Young Master. In Stan City, no one can disobey the orders of the Song family. The Song family is the law of the city. If they say you are guilty and deserve to die, then you shall. Today, you've offended…"

"What does that have to do with me?"

Xiao Luo interrupted coldly, "I just said that I don't want to cause trouble. You'd better not cause trouble either, or else you'll be the ones to regret it!"

When they heard what Xiao Luo had said, it stunned Song Feiyu and his companion for a moment before they burst into laughter.

"That's so funny. In Stan City, you're the first person who dares to talk to me like this."

Song Feiyu's laughter gradually turned cold, and there was a hint of murderous intent in it. He pointed at the black horse that had collapsed on the ground and said fiercely, "This black horse is a fine steed that I picked out from tens of thousands of wild horses. But, you've now broken one of its legs. I will have you cut off one of your legs and crawl under me, kneel on the ground and kowtow to me to beg for mercy. Perhaps then I'll spare your cheap life if I feel satisfied!"

"Tsk…"

Xiao Luo had no interest in dealing with such a brainless dandy. He turned around to walk away.

Song Feiyu was furious at being ignored this way. The veins on his forehead bulged as he shouted at his companions, "Take the son of a b*tch!"

Once he gave the order, the four men and a woman revealed their hidden auras. They held their swords and charged at Xiao Luo. They were all mid-stage Martial Masters, so they naturally thought their skills were adequate to deal with Xiao Luo, whom they had assumed was also a mid-stage Martial Master.

But when they were less than half a meter away from Xiao Luo, a powerful True Inner Force released from Xiao Luo's body smashed into them. It erupted like a violent gale in a raging storm. The five of them went flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

Xiao Luo did not kill them. They were just some conceited fools. They did not have to pay for their shortcomings with their lives.

After the five of them landed on the ground, they looked at him in shock. They could not believe that Xiao Luo could send them flying just by releasing his True Inner Force. Was that guy only a mid-stage Martial Master?

They suddenly doubted their earlier assumption. They checked again, and it puzzled them—their inner senses told them that Xiao Luo was only at the mid-stage of a Martial Master.

Xiao Luo ignored them and continued walking toward the west.

The strength that Xiao Luo had displayed also shocked Song Feiyu. The Song's Young Master was a reputed bully and always had his way in Stan City. Since Xiao Luo had hurt his horse and injured his friends, Xiao Luo was now a target for assassination.
