Xiang Feihu!

When that resolute-faced man, who favored wearing retired military uniforms, appeared in the Martial Hall, it undoubtedly stirred up a climax in everyone's hearts!

Yes, Li Nanbei wasn't in the Emerald Star Region, but the Li Family still had Xiang Feihu!

Everyone knew how this man, who detested evil, kept a close eye on Su Xiao, fearing that his brother's fiancée would be harassed.

And now, Ronan was openly so intimate with Su Xiao, practically slapping the Li Family's face hard!

Xiang Feihu's identity was peculiar; on the surface, he was just security personnel, but in reality, he was an adopted son of the Li Family.

Even Li Nanbei had always respected him greatly, treating him as a brother; everyone in the Li Family called him Young Master Xiang, which showed his high status.

A phone call from Su Jie was enough to make Xiang Feihu, who was already lingering nearby, rush over quickly.

He walked into the venue and immediately locked onto Su Xiao and Ronan.

They sat alone on a sofa, clearly separated from everyone else, like a couple in their own little world.

The low whispers and strange looks from others made Xiang Feihu feel disgraced!

This Ronan was truly lawless!

And Su Xiao, in Xiang Feihu's eyes, was simply unchaste!

He lunged forward in a single stride, and in an instant, the two bodyguards of the Martial Hall also moved closer.

However, Xiang Feihu roared, "Get lost!"

His movements were like a fierce tiger's; in just two moves, he took down the two bodyguards and quickly arrived in front of Su Xiao and Ronan.

Wei Wei suddenly reprimanded, "Xiang Feihu, you dare to provoke Yi Lin Manor!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

A large number of security personnel gathered from all directions, surrounding everyone!

This was Yi Lin Manor!

No matter how arrogant the Li Family was, they wouldn't allow Xiang Feihu to act wildly!

Wei Wei felt a little relieved in her heart, thinking that although this Ronan didn't understand the rules, he had somehow managed to provoke Xiang Feihu. If he did something irrational, it would give Yi Lin Manor a perfect excuse.

Christine, on the other hand, calmly analyzed:

"Ronan did it on purpose. Wei Wei, your father really left quite a few tricks up his sleeve."

Wang Xiaoman looked bewildered: "On purpose? Weren't we just discussing that Su Xiao was pursuing Ronan?"

Wei Wei helplessly patted her naive best friend's head and didn't say anything.

She was actually a little nervous in her heart.

The Earl wasn't in the manor tonight, and if there was any sudden incident, she didn't know how to handle it!

However, one thing was certain: if Xiang Feihu dared to be presumptuous, no matter how brave he was today, he would be kept here!

However, the people involved were not at all as nervous as the onlookers.

Among the three, only Su Xiao was a little uneasy, worried that Ronan would be hurt.

In her opinion, although Ronan's Side Kick was impressive and he should have some skill, compared to a master of Xiang Feihu's level, he was still far behind. After all, combat wasn't about strength, but about experience and technique!

And these things could only be learned in the military!

Su Xiao's uneasy expression, in Xiang Feihu's eyes, was clearly the shame and unease of adulterers caught in the act. So his heart became even more enraged.

He didn't understand why his brother, who was a dragon among men, would fall for Su Xiao, although she was indeed very beautiful; but what use was a woman who couldn't keep her bottom line?

After their encounter at the last banquet, he had developed some apprehension towards Ronan; he had also heard about Ronan's performance of kicking a sandbag flying and knew that this kid probably had some skill. But he still came.

A young man of this age, even if he had some strength, was definitely not as strong as him, a former special forces soldier, in other aspects.

Tonight, he had to settle this matter! Otherwise, he would be letting down his brother, who was currently on some planet eliminating demonic creatures!

"Miss Wei Wei, you don't need to worry. I just need an explanation."

Xiang Feihu looked coldly at Ronan: "Everyone knows that Su Xiao has a marriage contract with our Young Master Li. It's common for young people to be impetuous and for young women to be easily infatuated with vanity; that's why Young Master Li sent me to stay by Miss Su Xiao's side. I don't want anyone to challenge my bottom line—the bottom line of our Li Family!"

"I need an explanation!"

Despite being surrounded by many people, Xiang Feihu was still righteous and composed!

Coming from the Mech Combat Brigade's special forces was indeed extraordinary; just this demeanor alone was enough to make many people feel ashamed of themselves.

An explanation. Wei Wei frowned; she didn't expect Xiang Feihu to still maintain his rationality, only blaming and questioning, which put the entire problem on Ronan's side.

Once he answered improperly, he might instead be caught by the Li Family and have a handle on him.

Su Xiao hurriedly spoke: "Big Brother Xiang, we are just friends..."

"You don't speak first!"

Su Xiao was stunned.

She hadn't expected that the person who interrupted her wasn't Xiang Feihu, but Ronan!

Ronan looked at her. "Don't say anything. Just leave it to me."

Su Xiao fell silent. For some reason, an indescribable emotion and warmth surged within her.

Ronan stepped forward, once again standing between her and Xiang Feihu.

Was he only defending a friend's freedom? Su Xiao didn't want to believe it; she preferred to think Ronan had some other malicious intent.

However, from Ronan's calm expression, she couldn't discern anything else.

Ronan's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

Everyone secretly cheered with excitement. It had been a long time since they had seen nobles of such status and position vying for affection.

Was this young man from the countryside truly driven by anger for a beautiful woman? For the sake of the beauty Su Xiao, did he not only have the courage to face Xiang Feihu but also the courage to confront Li Nanbei?

In short, no matter who came out on top tonight, it would be a good show!

Many people tightly gripped their phones, posting messages and statuses on their personal social networks. Soon, everything happening inside the Martial Hall at Yi Lin Manor spread throughout the Bo Ning District noble circles.

And Ronan's terrifying Side Kick from before was also noted by those with keen eyes.

If Wei Wei hadn't forbidden them from posting videos, perhaps some busybodies would have started live streaming!

Xiang Feihu's voice was incredibly cold. "Young Master Ronan, I need you to give me an explanation."

Ronan didn't back down an inch. "What explanation?"

"I just like Su Xiao, what's wrong with that? Is it only allowed for your Li Family's Li Nanbei to like her, but not me?"

"Also, I want you to give me an explanation. You're constantly bothering Su Xiao, and I'm very unhappy about it. So please be more considerate in the future and keep your distance from her. As for engagements and such, what era is this? Are you still doing that?"

"Are Su Xiao and Li Nanbei engaged? No, right? Then she's still a free person, and she has the right to choose! As for you, you're just a bodyguard. What right do you have to shout in front of me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Martial Hall fell silent. Everyone stared at Ronan in stunned silence.

Ronan was completely fearless, as if everything was perfectly natural and justified.

Xiang Feihu's expression was even more incredulous. He had never expected Ronan to be so direct!

The atmosphere on the scene was bizarre.

However, the social networks exploded!

The most frequently appearing word in the personal statuses of every Bo Ning District noble was - Blown up!

Blown up!

Blown up!

[Alleged Yi Lin Manor heir publicly declares his liking for Su Xiao and wants to compete fairly with Li Nanbei!]

[Xiang Feihu has arrived, and both sides seem ready to fight.]

[Ronan's attitude is incredibly tough! He actually ignores the engagement between the Li Family and the Su Family! This guy completely disregards the rules.]

[This time it's really blown up. Where is Li Nanbei? Your wife is about to be snatched away.]

[Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and fight. I don't think this Ronan is an easy opponent. Did you see that kick earlier? It was absolutely awesome.]

On the social networks, there was a wave of excitement!

Ronan's words caused a huge sensation. Those present frantically spread the news, while the people involved were temporarily unable to process the explosive output of this statement!

Wei Wei's face was slightly pale, her mind filled with that one sentence: "I just like Su Xiao."

So, he really likes Su Xiao...

Christine looked at her best friend with a hint of pity, sighing inwardly.

Wang Xiaoman looked at Ronan with some worry. "He's just going to snatch Li Nanbei's fiancée like that? That's so unreasonable."

Su Xiao herself was completely stunned.

She lowered her head slightly, her hands tightly gripping her skirt hem, her emotions surging, her mind a blank.

Xiang Feihu's chest heaved, clearly shaken by Ronan's words.

He had forgotten how long it had been since anyone dared to challenge the Li Family!

Because even Yi Lin Manor had to consider the consequences of angering Li Nanbei!

Ronan's reckless actions today were praised by many, but most people believed his actions would bring disaster upon Yi Lin Manor!

Xiang Feihu took a deep breath, then said in a low voice:

"Everyone must be responsible for what they say. Mr. Ronan, you are declaring war on the Li Family."

"Did you learn to twist facts and fabricate right and wrong in the army?"

Ronan mocked him to his heart's content. "When did I declare war on the Li Family? Can you not be so shameless? I said I like Su Xiao, and you forcefully say I'm provoking the Li Family. Are you sick?"

Are you sick...

Are you sick?

This sentence strangely echoed throughout the vast arena.

Xiang Feihu's face turned pale then green!

He had never been cursed at like this before!

However, in the arena, many nobles who had long found him unbearable—especially the men who had once pursued Su Xiao but were blocked by Xiang Feihu—secretly cheered in their hearts!

Damn, that feels good!

Love between a man and a woman is a natural thing based on mutual consent, yet this big soldier idiotically guarded Su Xiao, sometimes even staying by her side every step of the way. Ronan calling him sick simply voiced the feelings of most people!

In the Martial Hall, the atmosphere had been pushed to the extreme. Ronan looked directly at Xiang Feihu, not backing down an inch.

The latter clenched his fists and repeated the word "good" three times!

The next second, he coldly stared at Ronan: "You say you like Miss Su Xiao, fine; but every place has its own rules. If you want to like her, you have to get past me."

"I just don't know if you have the ability."

Crack!

In the blink of an eye, he took off his shirt, revealing his strong muscles and a black vest.

"Li Nanbei's woman is not someone you can provoke."

"He's not here, so you have to get past me first."

Happy 520!
