Duan Hong clenched his fists with both hands and blasted towards Li Mo with all his strength.
Li Mo refused to dodge. Seeing his fist getting closer and closer to Li Mo, Duan Hong showed a proud smile on his face.
At this time, a crimson barrier appeared between the two of them.
Bang! Duan Hong felt as if his fist hit an iron plate. The entire arm's bones were almost broken!
"Ah! It hurts me so much!"
Holding his right arm that was drooping weakly, a killing pig-like howl sounded from his mouth!
Li Mo put away the barrier and dismissed Duan Hong on the side. Li Mo would not care about his life or death. Not killing him just now has already given the Duan family face, if he was acting erratically. He even dared to destroy the Iron Abacus, but he was still afraid that he, a small Duan family, would fail!
"Boy! I, Duan Hong, am not done with you! Just wait for me! Hey..."
Duan Hong endured the severe pain and ran into the mansion to report the news.
"Master! Help! Help!"
"You're so panicked, what happened?"
Duan Zhengyun, who was playing with the birds in the courtyard, saw his apprentice coming to him in such a mess, so he hurried forward to ask.
"Master... Master! Sorry, someone came to our house to cause trouble, and you see, they beat me like this."
Duan Hong was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he exaggerated what happened just now and told Duan Zhengyun.
"Bold, who dares to come to my place to cause trouble? Come and have a look!"
Although Duan Zhengyun is in his sixties, he is tall and has a fierce look on his face. The burning anger at this time gave people an extremely terrifying feeling.
"Master, this is the person who came to make trouble in our Duan family!"
The master and apprentice came to the gate. With Duan Zhengyun present, Duan Hong became even more arrogant and domineering!
"Are you the one who came to my Duan family to cause trouble and hurt my disciples?"
Duan Zhengyun's face twitched as he looked at the servants who were unconscious in front of the door.
Li Mo glanced at Duan Zhengyun and found that this person was also a high-level military general. He must be Duan Zhengyun, the head of the Duan family. However, Li Mo was not prepared to give him any more face. If a servant dares to be so presumptuous, the master must be no better!
"Master Duan, I'm here to see Lu Xinyue. I don't think your Duan's servants are too unruly. I'll educate you!"
"Oh! Looking for Xinyue? Are you Li Mo?"
"That's right!"
"Hey! You see, I'm really old and confused. I didn't know that Wanhuhou was arriving. I hope you'll forgive me if I missed you from afar!"
Duan Zhengyun was like a different person, treating Li Mo with utmost respect.
Duan Hong, who was standing next to him, was stunned, and he didn't expect that this seemingly mortal young man was Li Mo, who had won the first place in the martial arts competition. He lowered his head and stood aside in fear, not daring to speak any more. He was afraid that Li Mo would cause trouble for him.
"Master Duan is too polite, the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households is just a false name."
"Hey! Sir, you can achieve such an achievement at such a young age. You are the number one person on our Xuangu Continent!"
Li Mo couldn't stand the flattery and frowned slightly.
"Master Duan, I think you should just call me by my first name. I'm really not used to being called sir!"
"Haha... Okay, then I will boldly call you little brother! Come on, come on, please invite me Qingfeng City to stay in the mansion for a few more days!"
Li Mo didn't want to go in at first, but Duan Zhengyun was too enthusiastic, so he followed him into Duan Mansion.
"Oh my God! This home is so luxurious."
Li Mo thought that the main entrance of the Duan family was grand enough, but he didn't expect that there was a cave inside. He had never seen what the palace looked like, but after seeing the Duan family, he guessed that this was how it was in the palace!
"Little brother, what do you think of my Duan family?"
"Master Duan, this mansion is the most luxurious house I have ever seen in my life!
"Hahaha... Little brother, you are serious! I wonder why you came to Xinyue?"
"Oh, that's right, Lu Xinyue helped me at the auction last time, and I came here specifically to thank you this time!"
"Original!"
…
The Duan family was really big, so the two of them walked and chatted and finally came to the hall where the Duan family received guests. The guests and hosts were seated, and the maid served fragrant tea and fruits.
At this time, Hong didn't know where he ran. He must have escaped while the two of them were not paying attention, so that Li Mo would not cause trouble to him.
"Little brother, please sit down for a moment. I will ask Xinyue to come out to see you. This kid has been practicing in seclusion since he came back. I don't know why he became so hard!"
Li Mo smiled and nodded.
Li Mo didn't have a good impression of Duan Zhengyun. First, he taught poorly and was not strict with his disciples. Furthermore, this person is the same type of person as Iron Abacus.
Over a cup of tea, Li Mo finally met Lu Xinyue. However, she was much thinner than before and looked very haggard.
"Li Mo!"
After meeting Li Mo, Lu Xinyue's originally dull face glowed with excitement! But his eyes were a little moist.
Seeing this situation, Li Mo subconsciously glanced at Duan Zhengyun behind her.
Duan Zhengyun's extremely unnatural expression told Li Mo that there must be something going on. But it was just a family matter, so Li Mo didn't take it too seriously.
"Master Duan, can you allow me and Lu Xinyue to talk alone?"
"Ah... Okay, you guys chat, I'll tell Scary to prepare some food and drinks."
After speaking, he glanced at Lu Xinyue before leaving the hall.
"Li Mo, what are you doing here?"
Seeing Duan Zhengyun leaving, Lu Xinyue spoke.
"Have you forgotten? I still owe you fifty million taels. Aren't you here to pay me back?"
"Could it be that you just want to come here to pay back the money and there's nothing else?"
Lu Xinyue's question stunned Li Mo. But Li Mo still knew the meaning.
Although Li Mo also admired Lu Xinyue in front of him, after all, he already had Liu Yan.
"What else can there be? Here, the money is all in it!"
With that said, Li Mo handed Lu Xinyue a card. Then just keep drinking tea to avoid embarrassment.
"Haha! You still keep your word. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave!"
puff! When Li Mo heard this, he spit out all the tea in his mouth. I didn't expect that this little girl would issue an eviction order after taking the money. She really didn't give herself any face.
"I said, Lu Xinyue, you are too realistic. It doesn't matter if you don't let me eat, you should let me sit for a while anyway! There is no reason to just kick people out after taking money."
"Li Mo, please leave quickly. From now on, you will treat me as your friend!"
At this time, Lu Xinyue could no longer control her tears and burst into tears.
"What are you doing? Did I say something wrong?"
Li Mo never expected that this girl's tears would come so easily. What he hates most in his life is a woman crying.
"No, you're not at fault, it's all my fault! Just leave as soon as possible, okay?"
Seeing this situation, Li Mo couldn't sit still no matter how thick-skinned he was.
"Okay! I'm just leaving. Don't cry."
Duan Zhengyun came back at this time and saw Li Mo was about to leave and hurriedly tried to dissuade him. But I still didn't let him go. I had no choice but to send him to the door and watch him leave!
Seeing Li Mo disappear from his sight, the corners of Duan Zhengyun's mouth raised slightly. Duan Hong, who had never appeared, also appeared next to him at this time.
"Master, I have sent that little girl Lu Xinyue back to the secret room!"
