Chapter 2783: Justice of the Heroine
Chapter 2783: Justice of the Heroine
Xu Ling has always been known in the underworld for being unreasonable and protective of his own people.
Now that he came to support Xu Xian, everyone else fell silent and dared not speak anymore.
After Xu Xian saw him, she felt even more aggrieved and cried out "Dad!" with tears in her eyes.
Seeing his precious daughter being wronged like this, Xu Ling became even angrier. He looked at the people present with murderous intent and finally pointed his finger directly at the owner of the manor.
"Xie Zhiyi, give me an explanation today!"
Others might be afraid of Xu Ling and give in, but the owner of the manor definitely would not do that. He even thought it was ridiculous and stood up and walked towards him.
"Xu Ling! Who do you really think you are? It's your business to pamper your daughter, but if she dares to come to my Tianhu Villa and act wild, I won't indulge her."
"Hmph!" Xu Ling had no intention of listening to what the owner of the manor said, and started to take action without saying a word.
The owner of the manor was not at all intimidated and went straight to meet him.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged several moves and were evenly matched.
In order to avoid the attack, the others retreated further away, leaving a large empty space in the middle.
After a few moves, the two separated.
The owner of the manor stood still, and Xu Ling retreated back to Xu Xian.
The two men's martial arts skills are comparable, so it is impossible to determine the winner in such a fight.
"Dad! Stop hitting me. We are wrong!" Seeing that things were getting out of control, Hong Quan stepped forward to take charge of the situation. However, he didn't know that by standing up, he was slapping his father-in-law in the face again.
Xu Ling glanced at him coldly, then walked around him and looked at Xu Xian, "Xian'er, what's going on?"
"Dad... I accidentally had a miscarriage a few days ago, and I wanted to borrow the Yan Ze Lotus." Xu Xian avoided the main point and knew exactly what to say to be best for herself.
Xu Ling didn't know she was pregnant before, and he was overjoyed when he heard it. He immediately reached out to the owner of the manor, "Give me the Lotus of Yanze!"
Shi Li finally understood how Xu Xian developed such a personality. It turns out that like father, like daughter. It's amazing.
"Oh, your daughter came to steal, but you are even worse, you are robbing her directly?" The owner of the manor sneered, "Not to mention that the Lotus of Yan Ze is no longer there. Even if it was there, I would not give it to you!"
"You!" Xu Ling was furious. He was seldom treated like this given his status and position in the martial arts world. However, he knew that he could not beat the villa owner and it was impossible for him to really snatch the Yan Ze Lotus from Tianhu Villa.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Ling said humbly, "Give me the Lotus of Yan Ze. I owe you a favor."
He felt that this was already a huge concession.
"I don't want your favor." The owner of the manor refused to give in and looked at the three people sarcastically. "I'll say it again, the Lotus of Yanze is no longer here. But you guys made a scene on my birthday today. If you don't give me an explanation, don't even think about leaving easily!"
The scene reached a deadlock for a while.
Xu Ling also knew that since the owner of the manor said that Yan Ze Zhi Lian was gone, then it must be gone. With her personality, she would never lie about this matter.
But he couldn't save his face, and he felt even more sorry for his daughter's experience.
Seeing this, a guest stepped out. He was of the same generation as Xu Ling. Seeing that the two sides had stopped fighting, he acted as a peacemaker.
"Brother Xu, you are the ones who disturbed Master Xie today, so you should apologize. And your daughter doesn't look well, so you'd better see a doctor as soon as possible."
After this reminder, Xu Ling also noticed that Xu Xian looked unhappy, and he immediately became worried, knowing that he couldn't just leave easily.
In front of everyone, he threw the zither in his hand to the owner of the manor and said, "Here you go."
"Dad!" Xu Xian was shocked, knowing that this zither had been with Xu Ling for decades and was a rare and valuable item.
But Xu Ling knew that if he used ordinary things as compensation, the owner of the manor would never let it go, so he immediately shook his head at Xu Xian, signaling her not to say more.
With tears in her eyes, Xu Xian lowered her head silently and stopped talking.
She never imagined that today, not only did she fail to obtain the Lotus of Yan Ze, but she also caused her father to lose his most precious zither.
In fact, the owner of the manor disdained Xu Ling's piano, but the steps had been paved, and she had no choice but to go down. She could only endure it for a while and accepted the piano with a pinch of her nose.
"Let's go." Xu Ling knew that the matter was over, so he took his daughter and son-in-law and left.
But after such a big commotion today, the other guests didn’t want to continue disturbing them and left one after another with excuses.
Although they didn't get to see the lively fireworks display, the scene created by Xu Ling and Xu Xian, father and daughter, made their trip here worthwhile.
