Outside the Qi Family residence.
Lu Feng and Su Huaijin had barely approached when two guards stopped them.
"What business do you two have?"
The guards sized Lu Feng and Su Huaijin up with undisguised hostility, warning, "Today is the Qi Family's banquet. Outside guests may return tomorrow."
The other guard spat disdainfully. "These two don't look like they're here to offer congratulations either. Empty-handed and veiled—they look more like troublemakers."
Lu Feng casually produced a Brocade Box. Inside were the Hundred Beauty Immortal Rouge Chu Youwei had once given him, along with some accompanying, inferior powders and cosmetics. He figured such a gift should be more than sufficient for congratulations alone, so he said, "I am Lu Feng. Please announce my arrival. I wish to see the Qi Family Head."
Lu Feng intended to observe courtesy before resorting to force. He wanted to see Qi Wansu first before making any decisions.
The lead guard took the Brocade Box and rather abruptly flipped it open for a glance. Then he snorted disdainfully. "Just some rouge and face powder? You think that counts as a congratulatory gift?"
As he spoke, he smashed the Brocade Box to the ground and shouted angrily, "I knew you two were here to cause trouble!"
"Men!"
At his shout, two squads of guards hurried over from the distance.
Lu Feng looked at the shattered Brocade Box on the ground, and the kindness on his face instantly turned to frost.
Watching the guards close in around him, Lu Feng's gaze chilled. He gave a self-mocking laugh. "Since reasoned words will not work, then you cannot blame me!"
"What are you standing around for? Take him down!" the lead guard roared.
Lu Feng sighed. A vast, overwhelming aura suddenly erupted from him, directly crushing all the charging guards
