In the time it took for a few words to be exchanged, Li Ruonan and the middle-aged man were already preparing to fight.
Both had activated their internal energy, creating a strong gust of wind that caused the tablecloths in the lobby to flutter.
The women who had been surrounding them had already stepped back, finding it hard to breathe. As for Si Tianya, he was shocked by Li Ruonan's power and retreated to a corner, though the glint in his eyes suggested he still had full confidence in his "Uncle Li."
Song Ci, meanwhile, finally realized how far she was from being a true master. But with her master backing her, she wasn't afraid at all. Boldly, she walked between the two combatants, waved her hand, and said, "Hold on, I have something to say."
Li Ruonan was about to strike when she saw Song Ci step forward. Shocked, she didn't retract her internal energy but instead became even more vigilant. "Song Ci, take the sisters and leave! I'll be fine!"
