459: As expected, the protagonist is always the last to appear!

“No! You absolutely cannot go looking for your Master; stay here obediently.”

Xu Shuyun, anxious for her son, spoke with an unyielding and unquestionable tone.

Beside her, Tang Guoan and the others all nodded in agreement.

“Why?”

Tang Hao frowned slightly, his face full of confusion.

This was clearly something extremely beneficial to the Tang Family; he couldn't understand his family's reasons for obstructing him.

“Uh…”

“We… we’re afraid you’ll be in danger. Your Master is so powerful; he must have offended many enemies in his early years.”

“Those guys don't dare to seek revenge on your Master, so it’s highly likely they’ll target you. For safety, you should try to keep a low profile as much as possible.”

“…”

Tang Chuan racked his brain, finally coming up with a seemingly reasonable excuse.

But how could Tang Hao give up such a good opportunity to show off?

He boasted loudly, proclaiming, “How could a dignified Master’s disciple fear petty villains?” and turned to continue walking out.

“Watch closely, this is how Binding Force is used!”

Seeing her sixth brother stubbornly set in his ways and unyielding, Xu Shuyun’s face turned red with anger.

At her command, the four Binding Forces of kinship, hidden in the Tang Family’s genetic bloodline, immediately awakened… Mother’s Binding!

Father’s Binding!

Brother’s Binding!

Sister’s Binding!

Under the bewildered gazes of everyone in the room, the four members of the Tang Family, with clear purpose, each firmly held onto Tang Hao’s hands and feet.

Ah… this?!

Tang Hao was stunned on the spot, speechless.

To be honest, with his current strength, it would be easy to shake off Dad Tang, Mom Tang, and the others, but how could he bear to hurt his own flesh and blood?

Under the circumstances, a dejected Tang Hao could only choose to compromise, agreeing to temporarily stay in the private room.

Upon hearing this.

Tang Guoan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, then gradually released Tang Hao.

But they still surrounded their sixth brother, watching him intently, ready to use Binding Force immediately if they detected the slightest movement from him… On the other side.

Jiang Yangping’s appearance attracted countless people’s attention.

No matter how arrogant the prodigies usually were, facing such a legendary figure, their hearts couldn't help but feel a few more hints of reverence… “Excellent! Excellent! I never thought that in my lifetime, I would witness two Grandmasters battling; my life is not in vain!”

“Elder Jiang has appeared, so why hasn’t the rumored Young Grandmaster shown up yet?”

“Could it be that he’s scared and ran away? After all, the enemy he faces is the famous Jiang Yangping; it’s not shameful to desert in battle.”

“That’s true! If that person is truly as the Han Family claims, under 30 years old, then he is indeed a heaven-sent genius.”

“With such terrifying martial arts talent, I believe if he were to challenge in another ten or eight years, it would truly be hard to say who would win? But now, it’s almost certainly a losing battle.”

“Alas, a Grandmaster’s battle is a rare sight! Perhaps if I miss this one, I’ll never again have the chance to witness the splendor beyond Inner Strength in this life. So I still hope that Young Grandmaster can fulfill this small wish of mine…”

“…”

Nine out of ten spectators at the arena battle did not favor Su Fan.

But they still hoped Su Fan could arrive in time; it didn’t matter if he couldn’t defeat Jiang Yangping.

After all, no matter who won or lost, strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with them.

Everyone traveled thousands of miles just because they didn’t want to miss a once-in-a-century Grandmaster battle… At this moment, the pressure was on the Han Family.

“Why hasn’t Master Su replied yet?”

“Could it be that he really… deserted in battle?”

“…”

Han Zhengyang was sweating profusely, pacing back and forth in front of the French window.

Ever since he sent a message to Su Fan, he had been constantly watching his phone screen, praying that Su Fan would reply quickly.

But so much time had passed, even Jiang Yangping had personally appeared, and Su Fan was still silent.

This was almost killing him!

Beside him, Han Xinqiao, though her face showed concern, still shook her head firmly, her face full of infatuation, strongly supporting Su Fan.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible! From what I know of Su Fan, he could never be the kind of coward who runs away without a fight.”

“Dad! Please trust your daughter’s judgment in choosing men.”

Han Zhengyang: “…”

Facing his infatuated daughter, who blindly trusted Su Fan and sided with an outsider, Han Zhengyang rolled his eyes repeatedly, unable to complain.

Fortunately, at this moment, Mad Lion spoke thoughtfully.

“Don’t worry! Boss Su would rather die in battle; he would never run away.”

Although they hadn’t known each other for long.

Mad Lion still found it hard to believe that someone as proud as Su Fan would choose to desert in battle.

Hearing this, Han Zhengyang felt a little more at ease, but the worry in his brows still hadn't dissipated.

“Then why hasn’t Master Su appeared yet?”

“Boss Su might… want to make his appearance at the last moment! After all, the protagonist always makes a grand finale, right?”

Mad Lion stroked his chin, making a wild guess.

Beside him, Han Xinqiao folded her arms across her chest, noncommittal: “That reason is too fake; it’s more believable that Su Fan got lost.”

“Of course, who gets lost these days? Open Gaode Maps, and there’s nowhere in the world you can’t go?”

“I lean more towards Su Fan being delayed by an urgent matter, but he will definitely be there later.”

…At this moment, in the dense mountain forest.

Should I go left? Or right?

Looking at the winding paths branching out in all directions before him, Su Fan awkwardly scratched his head.

He realized… he had unconsciously gotten lost… Helpless, Su Fan pulled out his old Nokia phone, thinking of calling Han Zhengyang for help, but was astonished to find that his phone had no signal in the mountain forest?!

This was a bit of a blind spot… Su Fan sighed helplessly, only able to continue exploring forward.

If Lin Xuan were here, he would definitely not be able to resist complaining:

Sure enough, the protagonist always has to be the last to appear!

…Headache w(ﾟДﾟ)w, yesterday it still didn’t pass, I have to revise it for the third time.

Actually, revising isn’t a big deal; what makes me most upset is that the 600 yuan perfect attendance bonus I worked so hard for last month, constantly making up for, was also canceled because of this.

o(≧ mouth≦)o Sadness flows like a river… Please send some love, give me a boost, now I’m relying entirely on love for power o(╥﹏╥)o…
