Could there be some trick in this?
Born suspicious, that thought flashed through his mind in an instant.
But he quickly tossed those ideas to the back of his head.
He didn’t believe Ren Ning and the others had any chance to turn things around at this point.
So he let out a cold laugh and said, "President Lu really knows how to read the situation!"
As he spoke, Kou Cangfeng turned to Ren Ning again. "Ren Ning, now there’s no one left to help you. Hand over the compensation obediently and get out of Xihua City. This is the last shred of dignity I’m giving you!"
"Otherwise..."
Kou Cangfeng was just about to spit a few harsh words to show off.
But at that moment, a calm voice, carrying an innate supreme authority, rang out.
"Otherwise what?"
It was only four simple words, yet the entire venue shook.
Ren Ning’s whole body trembled, then wild joy flooded her face.
Lu Hui, however, let out a sigh in his heart, then lifted his head to look into the sky.
Not just him—everyone turned at the same time toward where the voice had come from.
Then they saw a stream of radiance tear open the heavens, descending from the sky and landing before the crowd in a blink.
When the radiance faded, the one standing in front was Xue An.
In an instant, the whole place fell into a dead silence.
Many faces turned to panic, all their earlier arrogance utterly gone.
They had all assumed Xue An was already dead out in the void.
It was precisely because of that that they had dared to follow Kou Cangfeng’s instigation and come here to shout and posture.
Who would have thought that at this critical moment, he’d actually make it back.
Not only did he make it back, but judging from the dense, unscattered pressure around him, he had clearly broken through again.
More importantly, since he was back, didn’t that mean the spacetime Giant Serpent Shuming had already lost?
At that thought, many faces went pale.
But unlike their panic, Ren Ning, Sheng Hongqian and the others were practically hysterical with joy and rushed over at once.
"Master!"
"Young Lord!"
"My lord!"
All kinds of titles flew out at once.
Xue An met them all with a faint smile, but it was obvious he showed special favor to Ren Ning.
He looked at Ren Ning’s cheeks, covered in tears, and said mildly, "Stop crying. I’m back now. No one can bully you anymore."
Ren Ning nodded heavily, but the tears just wouldn’t stop.
Xue An knew she wouldn’t be able to calm her emotions for a while, so he didn’t bother, and instead turned to look at Lu Hui.
By now, Tang Zheng had already spotted his sister Tang Xiao, who had returned alongside Xue An, and was itching to rush over.
But Tang Xiao didn’t hurry over; instead she stood where she was, smiling, as if waiting to watch a good show.
"You’d already sensed I was back, hadn’t you?" Xue An asked.
Lu Hui nodded.
"Then if I’d just happened not to make it back at this exact moment?" Xue An asked again.
Lu Hui didn’t hesitate, and answered blandly, "Then I’d have stood aside and watched. Anyway, I don’t believe you’d fail to foresee a situation like this."
Xue An laughed. "You little bastard, you’re really sly, aren’t you?"
With that said, he finally turned leisurely to look at Kou Cangfeng.
At this moment Kou Cangfeng’s face was deathly pale.
