Su Luo remained calm. "What's the rush? It's just an ordinary lamp, and that proves something?"
Chu Feiyang sneered, "You're still being stubborn when death is at your door! When the Lotus Glazed Lamp was lit, it bloomed in sequence, which is the proof. How could an ordinary lamp be so miraculous? Hmph, you're deliberately causing trouble and even daring to damage Master Lei's reputation. Guards, seize her!"
Suddenly, Su Luo's figure flickered, and she appeared beside the man in fine robes.
The two were enveloped by the faint lamp light, their faces reflecting a soft golden glow.
"Stop!" Chu Feiyang shouted anxiously.
The guards who were about to move quickly halted, their hands still raised, forced to stop abruptly.
Su Luo glanced at the Lotus Glazed Lamp before her, a half-smile on her lips. "What, you don't dare to make a move now? Come on, all of you! I want to see if anyone can harm me now that I'm protected by the Lotus Glazed Lamp."
The young man in fine robes, who had been somewhat bewildered earlier, suddenly understood.
"You're quite clever, miss, to know that the lamp's light will protect you from harm," he said with a slight smile. He still held the Lotus Glazed Lamp, gazing at Su Luo's pretty face, and his understanding deepened.
Su Luo became even more audacious, staring at Chu Feiyang and Lei Dingshan, playfully beckoning with her fingers. "Come on, try and hit me! Anyone who doesn't dare to move is a coward!"
"You..." Chu Feiyang was speechless, his face incredibly unpleasant.
He couldn't make a move, nor could he let others move.
If this brat were to be harmed by them, it would prove the Lotus Glazed Lamp was fake. But if he didn't act, he couldn't swallow his anger, making him so conflicted he wanted to kill someone.
Lei Dingshan and the other appraisers were also stunned, exchanging glances.
No one dared to step forward.
Su Luo smiled lightly at the man in fine robes, took the Lotus Glazed Lamp from his hand, and walked up to Chu Feiyang. "What's wrong, Third Prince? You said you'd cut out my tongue and kill me. Why don't you do it!"
As she stepped forward, Chu Feiyang took a step back. Su Luo advanced again, and he retreated again.
With a thud, Chu Feiyang was forced to sit back on his chair, embarrassed and angry, yet still afraid to make a move.
"Hmph, you coward, too scared to make a move!"
After speaking, Su Luo looked at Lei Dingshan again and sneered, "Master Lei, do you want to make a move? I insulted you earlier and now I'm cursing you. You're an old fraud and an old turtle, and you're not even angry? Hurry up and hit me! Otherwise, you'll miss this chance and regret it."
Lei Dingshan was extremely embarrassed, his old face flushed red. "You, you're protected by the Lotus Lamp, how can I hit you?"
"Then I won't be polite!"
Her eyes sharpened, Su Luo raised the Lotus Lamp in her hand and smashed it towards his head.
With a crash, Lei Dingshan dodged and weaved, covering his head.
Su Luo chased him, like playing whack-a-mole. In moments, his face was scratched in several places, leaving him in a sorry state, almost hiding under the table.
"Hahahaha..."
The man in fine robes beside them burst into laughter. "Excellent, this is using the enemy's spear to attack his shield. The lie is exposed without a fight. Thank you, miss, for your discerning eye. I was almost tricked."
Chu Feiyang's face changed. "Brother Jiang, what do you mean?"
The man in fine robes glanced at him, the smile on his face vanishing instantly. He said coldly, "What do I mean? Third Prince, do I need to spell it out? I never expected that the Third Prince of the Northern Underworld Empire would conspire with others to commit fraud for a mere tens of millions. You've no regard for the royal family's reputation."
Su Luo finally stopped. She folded her arms and taunted, "You'd sacrifice your lifelong reputation to pass off fakes and openly cheat people for money. Master Lei, I'm going to tell everyone and reveal your true colors..."
"No, don't... please, miss!"
Lei Dingshan collapsed on the ground, begging tearfully. "I didn't want to cheat anyone. It was all the Third Prince. He gave me five million spirit coins! And, these items were also requested by him for me to forge. It has nothing to do with me..."
Chu Feiyang roared in anger, "Shut up, you old scoundrel! You were the one who made the wrong appraisal. Now that you're exposed, you're blaming me? How dare you! Young Master Jiang, you must not believe this old scoundrel's nonsense. I was also deceived by him!"
Li Tianjue hadn't expected things to take such a turn.
How could she tell that the Lotus Glazed Lamp was fake?
He knew Su Luo wasn't an appraiser, but this insight, could it be another of her special abilities?
The man in fine robes said coldly, "I don't care about that. Third Prince, hand over my money. Our cooperation ends here!"
Suddenly, Chu Feiyang's expression turned stern, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
"On my territory, you dare to threaten me? Young Master Jiang, I know you have some influence, which is why I wanted to befriend you. I didn't expect you to be so insensible, humph!"
He grinned menacingly and directly ordered, "Go, kill both of them and end it all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, eight guards swarmed forward, drawing their swords and charging at them.
Su Luo moved with the agility of a fish, quickly darting behind Li Tianjue and shouting, "Go, Guard Li, take them down!"
Li Tianjue frowned. Did she really consider him a thug?
But there was no time for further discussion. The opponents were already charging with fierce expressions. He had no choice but to act.
Dealing with these common thugs, Li Tianjue didn't need to draw his sword. With a casual flick of his hand, the four imperial guards who charged at him were sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, groaning in pain, unable to get up for a long time.
On the other side, the man in fine robes was also quite skilled, quickly defeating the other four guards.
Chu Feiyang's face turned ashen. He slammed the table and stood up, roaring, "Bastards, how dare you injure my men! Zhui Feng, Yin Jian, kill them for me, and I will reward you handsomely!"
Swish, swish, swish...
Several wind blades flew out. A trusted expert by Chu Feiyang's side was a cultivator of wind power, attacking without mercy.
The other's wrist directly twisted and deformed, rapidly turning into a shining silver long sword. Su Luo's brow furrowed. To wield earth power to such an extent within oneself meant at least a Venerable cultivation.
Even though Su Luo could use her divine eye to detect their weaknesses, she still didn't intend to act.
With a ready-made expert at hand, why should she exert herself?
"Guard Li, go! Take them down, and I'll reward you handsomely too."
Listening to Su Luo's clear and pleasant voice, Li Tianjue's expression beneath the mask was not good.
Was this woman ordering him around with such enthusiasm?
Seeing the wind blades shooting towards him, Li Tianjue had no choice but to act, and he would settle the score with Su Luo later.
Beneath the white mask, he possessed no aura of prestige, but his move stunned everyone present. Li Tianjue waved his sleeve, and an invisible barrier appeared before him. The wind blades struck it, disappearing like ripples in the vast ocean without causing any disturbance.
"Unexpectedly..." Chu Feiyang's heart chilled as he watched.
A powerful gust of energy surged forward, and even the expert attacking the man in fine robes couldn't withstand Li Tianjue's move, both being sent flying. They fell to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if their bones had been shattered.
"Guard Li is truly formidable, taking them down in one move!"
Su Luo smiled broadly, about to applaud Li Tianjue, when suddenly a chill ran down her spine, and danger loomed.
"Be careful!"
A figure rushed forward and stood in front of Su Luo.
