Liu Yuanhu landed on the ground and grimaced in pain, his face contorted. He looked toward Lu Junyi with some confusion: "Elder Lu, what are you…?"
Lu Junyi shot Liu Yuanhu a fierce glare and barked, "Who gave you the audacity to chop down Master Ge's door? We don't need you here anymore—leave!"
Hearing this, Liu Yuanhu discerned a hint of respect in Lu Junyi's tone. Enduring the pain, he struggled to his feet and limped away, muttering curses under his breath, "Tsk, if this wasn't about settling scores, you could've said so. Made me worry for nothing! And that kick—damn, it hurts!"
After Liu Yuanhu left, Lu Junyi carefully adjusted his attire before approaching the door with some hesitation and lightly knocking on the door ring.
Lu Junyi had barely knocked twice when Ding An opened the door and stepped out.
Ding An bowed slightly and cupped his hands toward Lu Junyi: "Greetings, Elder Lu."
Lu Junyi looked at Ding An with slight astonishment: "You know who I am?"
