The Lan family was just a second-rate family in Lihuo City. The Lan family also had Golden Core monks in the past, so how prosperous it was back then.
Unexpectedly, it has become a second-rate family, which is very disappointing.
It can be seen that the strongest reliance for the family is not financial resources and power but force.
Lan Yue is just a fifteen-year-old girl.
At this moment, she was hiding behind her brother Lan Xiong and was at a loss, with a look of horror on her little face.
The thugs from the Ren family were gearing up and walking toward Lan Xiong and Lan Yue.
There were so many of them that they didn't take Lan Xiong seriously at all. The thugs rushed towards Lan Xiong without saying a word.
At the beginning, Lan Xiong could barely parry one or two.
After two moves, he was no longer an opponent. Lan Xiong protected his sister Lan Yue and retreated steadily, with injuries appearing on his body.
Guo Xun became more and more angry as he watched this scene.
The anger in my heart is almost uncontrollable. Isn't this just bullying the weak?
Guo Xun thought of what he had experienced, and the deep feeling of powerlessness made Guo Xun decide to take action to save them.
I saw Guo Xun rush out of the crowd and strike with thunder, his movements were so clean that no one else could react.
Guo Xun's fists and two kicks instantly knocked away the thugs from the Ren family. Guo Xun's move caused a burst of exclamations from those around him.
With Guo Xun's current strength, it would be easy to kill these thugs, but he couldn't do that. He was not a person who killed indiscriminately.
When Ren Mo saw a man rushing up to him, he immediately dealt with his thugs. He was frightened and angry and roared loudly:
"Who are you! How dare you ruin our family's good deeds!"
"You don't care who I am, your behavior is worse than animals, you should be beaten!"
Guo Xun was not polite at all.
"Hmph! If you dare to ruin the good things of my family, that's fine! I'll remember you, just wait for me and don't let me meet you again!"
Ren Mo kicked the thug who fell to the ground hard several times, and kept cursing:
"Get up! You useless losers!"
When Ren Mo saw this young man, he defeated his men in an instant, which showed that his cultivation level was much higher than theirs.
Ren Mo was not stupid. They would definitely not be able to win in a head-to-head confrontation, so he decided to retreat.
It’s okay to cause trouble to the Lan family in the future.
"What a bunch of trash, what use do I need from you!"
After saying that, Ba Mo turned around and ran away.
At this time, the thugs also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the third young master did not let them force him, and they all followed him with relief.
Lan Xiong endured the pain and stepped forward to thank him:
"Thank you very much for this friend's help. Lan Xiong is very grateful. Yue'er quickly come over and thank this friend."
"Yue'er thanked Young Master for helping me."
Guo Xun returned the salute with clasped fists.
"That's right. It's just a trivial matter. It just so happens that I also have something to ask."
"Friend, please tell me."
"Excuse me, where will the Lihuo Sword Sect's assessment be held?"
Lan Xiong smiled slightly and replied:
"The Lihuo Sword Sect will hold an assessment at the Chihuo Square in the center of Lihuo City in six days. Are you going to take part in the assessment?"
"Yes! I'm just here to take the assessment. I'm just not familiar with this place, so I'm asking this. My name is Guo Xun, but I don't know your friend's surname."
"Brother Guo, you're welcome. My name is Lan Xiong. I wonder if Brother Guo is willing to go with us. We will also take the assessment together when the time comes."
"OK!"
Guo Xun thought for a while, but he didn't expect such a good thing, so he readily agreed.
Guo Xunzheng was worried about the problem of food and accommodation these days, but now it seems that it has been solved.
Lan Xiong and his party returned to Lan's house. As soon as they entered the gate, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"Master and Miss, you are finally back. Madam is very anxious. Master, why are you injured? Oh! What should I do? How should I explain to Madam!"
"Uncle Yang, don't worry. I accidentally knocked myself when I went out. It's just a minor injury. I'm going to find my mother."
Instead, Lan Xiong comforted the housekeeper, and then Lan Xiong led Guo Xun through a martial arts training ground toward the inner courtyard.
On the Shenyan Continent where strength is paramount, every family that wants to thrive in the long term must have its own people to rely on.
First, we must have strong military support, and second, we must be able to cultivate outstanding next generations. This is an eternal truth.
Therefore, every family strives to make its new blood stronger.
In addition to using long-term accumulation to cultivate the next generation, a more important way for the family is to join the cultivation sect.
There are many sects on the Shenyan Continent, but there are very few truly powerful sects. Although the Lihuo Sword Sect is somewhat famous in the Tang Dynasty, it is nothing more than a joke in the eyes of the outside world.
Guo Xun passed through the Lan family's martial arts training ground. He saw some innocent boys and girls exercising in the martial arts training ground.
They were sweating profusely and showing off their youth to the fullest. Guo Xun felt extremely relieved and happy watching this scene.
Guo Xun seems to be just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy for his own sake.
The reason why the Lan family wants these children to do this is actually so that they can have a good physical foundation when they start practicing at the age of fourteen.
Guo Xun was amazed, it was indeed an education in a big city! The method of educating the next generation is completely different from that of Maverick Village.
Guo Xun followed Lan Xiong into the inner courtyard. At this time, he saw a beautiful woman and two maids standing together in the hall in front.
Judging from the situation, the beautiful woman should be scolding the two little maids.
When Lan Yue saw her mother, she immediately ran towards her happily, "Mother, Yue'er is back!"
Lan Xiong also followed quickly. When he saw his mother scolding the little maid, he stepped forward and explained:
"Mom, don't blame them. I took Yue'er out and they didn't know anything."
Lan Xiong quietly gestured to the maids to get down quickly.
"Yue'er! You're finally back! Do you know how worried your mother is about you?"
Mrs. Lan was startled at first when she heard Lan Yue's voice, and then she started to smile. She lost all her harshness when she scolded the maid just now.
"A few days ago, I heard that the youngest son of the Liu family was seriously injured by the Ren family. He can't participate in the assessment of the Lihuo Sword Sect this time. We must take the assessment of the Lihuo Sword Sect carefully! Don't let anything happen. What’s wrong! The Lihuo Sword Sect is one of the best sects in Shuilong County, so we can’t miss it this time.”
Mrs. Lan held Lan Yue's hand worriedly.
Lan Yue lowered her head in shame.
"Mom, Yue'er realizes her mistake and will never run around again."
"Hmph! I know how to deal with your mother. The immortal master of the Lihuo Sword Sect came to our Lihuo City two years ago and took a fancy to you. If it weren't for your age, you would have joined the Lihuo Sword Sect, but this You should be able to pass the assessment smoothly this time."
Mrs. Lan said proudly.
Lan Xiong saw that his mother and sister were chatting happily, and he didn't know how long the conversation would last, so he stepped forward and interrupted:
"Mom, Yue'er and I also met people from the Ren family when we came back today, but luckily we were saved by Brother Guo."
"Ah! You met people from the Ren family."
Mrs. Lan's face instantly turned ugly, and a faint chill spread across her face.
"This damn family! Are you injured? I'll take care of you later. I'd also like to thank this little friend for helping me to keep these two useless children safe."
Guo Xun bowed slightly.
"Auntie, you're welcome. I'm related to Brother Lan, and I can't stand such bully behavior. It's my duty to help."
"Hahaha! My little friend is really good at talking, I like it! I would be relieved if my son could worry as much as you do."
When Lan Xiong heard that something was wrong and it was his fault, he quickly said:
"Mom! Brother Guo is tired from traveling all the way for this assessment. I'll take him down to change clothes first."
"You kid! Okay! You go!"
Guo Xun spent five days happily at Lan's house.
During these five days, Guo Xun once again experienced the warmth of home, and he was even more eager to go home and reunite with his parents.
