Gods: Start with Goblins

As he spoke, Luo Dan slowly assumed a fighting stance, his eyes revealing a fighting spirit and excitement. He seemed not to be afraid of the siege of these noble family children, but rather expected a fierce battle. Seeing this, the noble family children were so angry that they trembled all over, roaring and rushing towards Luo Dan. A fierce conflict was about to break out.

"If you want to fight me, just say so. Why are you asking for permission from my senior brother? Are you all cowards who don't dare to fight me?" Luo Dan's voice echoed in the air, with a hint of disdain and ridicule. "So, in the name of my senior brother, in the name of so-called gentlemen, you dare not even draw your swords? If you really want to fight, don't ask others. Come at me if you have the guts! I promise that I will show no mercy!"

These words were simply naked mockery, provocation, and targeting of them. Every word was like a sharp blade, piercing into the hearts of these children of noble families, making them feel extremely humiliated and angry.

The faces of these noble family children turned pale and blue, as if they were about to explode with anger at Luo Dan's words. They tightly grasped the hilts of their swords, their knuckles turned white from the force, and their eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness. They had always been treasured in the palm of someone's hand, so how could they have ever been insulted and provoked like this?

"You...how dare you insult us like this!" A young man from an aristocratic family finally couldn't help but roared, his voice becoming hoarse with anger, "Who do you think you are? You're just a wild brat who came out of nowhere, and you dare to be so arrogant in front of us!"

"That's right! How great do you think you are? How can you insult us, the children of aristocratic family, so casually?" Another child of aristocratic family echoed, his eyes full of murderous intent, as if he was about to rush up and tear Luodan into pieces.

However, the leader was not a fool, nor was he an impulsive person. He stood there quietly, his eyes deep and calm, as if he was not angered by Luo Dan's words. No matter how angry the people behind him were, he still remained calm and composed, like an unshakable mountain.

If it weren't for the slightly twitching corners of his mouth, perhaps he really looked like a noble family, calm, reserved, and silent. He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Luo Dan, you are indeed very courageous." The leader finally spoke, his voice deep and powerful, "But do you think that provoking us like this will make us lose our minds? You are wrong. Although we are not heroes, we are not street thugs either. We must fight, but we cannot do it randomly like street thugs."

As he spoke, he slowly drew out the long sword from his waist, with the tip of the sword pointed directly at Luodan. His eyes were full of fighting spirit and determination, as if he was ready to fight Luodan. Seeing this, Luodan just smiled faintly, and that smile was full of confidence and arrogance. He knew that this battle was inevitable, and he was ready to meet the challenge.

The senior brother looked at Luo Dan, with a trace of deep malice and disdain in his eyes, as if Luo Dan was some disgusting stain. He sneered and said in a low and threatening voice: "I wanted to settle this matter with Master Luo, but I didn't expect Master Luo to be so uncooperative. When a noble family does something, it's not something that anyone can refuse. Please come with us, Master Luo, so that we don't take action and hurt the relationship."

He said "please", but in fact his tone was not respectful at all, but full of coercion. At the same time, he had quietly drawn the long sword from his waist, the tip of the sword trembled slightly, shining with cold light, and pointed directly at Luo Dan. Others followed suit and drew their swords one after another. For a moment, the air was filled with a tense and dangerous atmosphere.

As soon as the person in front of them said "no", they would rush forward and forcibly take the person back. No matter how Luodan resisted, he could not escape from their hands.

At this tense moment, when the two sides were about to fight, suddenly, a clear and majestic voice sounded, like a spring breeze, but with a force that could not be ignored: "Stop!"

As the voice sounded, a graceful figure slowly approached. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and walked lightly, like a fairy descending from the earth. Although she was small in stature, no one ignored her. Her appearance seemed to brighten the entire space, and all the noise and murderous intent froze instantly.

That's right, it was none other than the princess. She slowly walked in front of everyone, her eyes swept over everyone present, and finally stopped at the senior brother. Her eyes were both majestic and firm, "What are you doing? In broad daylight, are you trying to rob a common man? When aristocratic families do things, they must be reasonable and not bully others."

The brother's face changed slightly when he saw this, but he quickly regained his composure. He bowed his hands, but there was a hint of unwillingness in his tone: "Your Highness, this is an internal matter of our family. Young Master Luodan has some disputes with us, and we need to take him back to deal with it. I hope Your Highness will not interfere."

The princess frowned slightly when she heard this, and her voice became even more stern: "Internal affairs of the family? Humph, in my opinion, you are bullying others by taking advantage of your power. Master Luodan is a citizen of our dynasty, how can I let you manipulate him at will? Today's matter is decided by me!"

As she spoke, she slowly walked to Luo Dan's side, stood still, and looked at the senior brother with a firm gaze, as if declaring to him: As long as I am here, you can't even touch a hair on Luo Dan!
The princess maintained her dignity and walked forward step by step. Her steps were firm and powerful, as if every step was stepping on the hearts of the family members. The family members did not expect her to appear here suddenly, but even though they were surprised, they did not forget to respect the princess's status, so they put away their swords and performed a standard etiquette towards the princess.

"Greetings, Princess!" They said in unison, their voices were uniform and loud, showing how well-trained the children of the noble family were. Unlike ordinary mortals, they only needed to clasp their fists and salute the princess, but they followed the rules of the noble family and performed a more solemn etiquette.

The princess looked at them with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. She knew that although these children of noble families were sometimes arrogant, they still knew how to behave at critical moments. So she nodded to them, and both sides were satisfied, and there was not much red tape.

"Princess, I wonder why you are here today?" The other brother asked, with a hint of doubt and temptation in his voice. His eyes fell on the princess, trying to read something from her expression. The princess smiled slightly. She knew that the other party was testing her intentions, but she did not intend to hide her thoughts. She slowly said: "I have heard about what happened here. This Lord Luodan is my savior. He once stepped forward and saved my life when I was in danger. So, I came here today to protect him."

As she spoke, the princess swept her eyes across everyone present, her eyes full of determination and unquestionableness. She knew that once her words were out, there would be no room for maneuver. But she also believed that these children of noble families, no matter how arrogant they were, would not easily offend the princess.

"Your Highness, this..." The senior brother heard this and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. He knew that Luodan's matter was not that simple and involved the internal affairs of the family. But the princess' words were very clear, and they could not easily disobey.

"Brother, Her Royal Highness the Princess has said so, we..." another young man from a noble family reminded in a low voice, with a hint of hesitation and uneasiness in his voice.

The senior brother was silent for a moment after hearing this. Then, he slowly said, "Your Highness, we will remember your kindness. But Luo Dan's matter does involve our family's internal affairs. However, since Your Highness has spoken, we will give you face. However, we still need to go back and discuss this matter before we can give you a reply."

The princess nodded after hearing this. She knew that the family's affairs were not so easy to resolve, but she also believed that as long as she stepped forward, Luo Dan should not be in too much danger. So, she slowly said: "Okay, this princess will give you a chance. But I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible, and don't make me wait too long."

As soon as she heard about this, she was extremely anxious, fearing that Luo Dan would get into trouble. She immediately ordered the servants to prepare the horses, and she hurriedly changed into casual clothes, even simply tied her hair into a bun, and rushed over without stopping. Along the way, she prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Luo Dan would be safe.

When she arrived at the scene, she was relieved to see Luo Dan standing there unharmed. Fortunately, nothing happened to him and she was able to save him in time. She walked quickly to Luo Dan and signaled him with her eyes not to be afraid, saying that no one could do anything to him as long as she was there.

When the princess said this, all the nobles looked gloomy. They had originally thought that the princess would come forward and the matter would be resolved, but they had not expected that the princess would be so determined to save Luo Dan. They looked at each other, with hesitation and embarrassment in their eyes.

After a moment of silence, the senior brother took a step forward and bowed to the princess. His voice was low and firm, and he said, "Princess, please don't make things difficult for us. This person has a great grudge against our family and has killed seven or eight of our disciples. The family has ordered that this person must be brought back. Please hand this person over to us and let us deal with him according to the family rules."

The princess frowned slightly when she heard this. She had not expected these noble family disciples to be so stubborn and insist on taking Luo Dan away. She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and then slowly said, "This princess knows that your family has its own rules, but this princess also has her own principles. Luo Dan is my lifesaver, and this princess must protect him no matter what. This princess also feels sorry for the death of your family disciple, but this matter, this princess thinks it should be considered in the long run."

The elder brother's face darkened when he heard this. He stared at the princess, his eyes flashing with determination and determination: "Your Highness, we will remember your kindness. But this man and our family have an irreconcilable hatred, and we cannot let him go. Please think twice before you act, and don't let our family's affairs affect your reputation."

The princess couldn't help but feel a little angry when she heard this. She felt that she had shown enough sincerity and face, but these children of noble families were still so stubborn. She snorted coldly and said, "I have made it very clear that Luo Dan is my savior. I will protect him no matter what. If your family insists on taking him away, then you have to step over my body first!"

As she spoke, the princess stepped forward and stood in front of Luo Dan. Her eyes were full of determination and unquestionable, as if she was ready to compete with the children of the noble families. Seeing this, the children of the noble families also drew their long swords at their waists, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.

"Oh? So you mean to disobey this princess?" The princess' tone suddenly sank, her eyebrows drooped, and her originally soft lines became angular at this moment. The princess's aura was fully revealed, like a volcano about to erupt, making people dare not look directly at her.

The disciples of the noble families felt the pressure and immediately lowered their heads, but they did not give in. Their voices were low but firm: "Your Highness, we did not intend to disobey you, but this man has a great grudge against our noble family, and we really cannot let him go."

After hearing this, the princess felt a little ashamed and a little angry. Especially in front of her former lover, she couldn't even protect someone she wanted to protect. This made her feel that her dignity was seriously challenged. A trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and her voice became louder: "How dare you! Who do you think you are? I am a princess. Do you dare to disobey my orders?"

As she spoke, she walked forward step by step, her aura growing stronger and stronger, as if she was going to suffocate the noble children in front of her. The noble children felt the pressure and their faces changed slightly, but no one took a step back.

Seeing this, the princess was even more furious. She snorted coldly and continued, "Aristocratic family? It is because of your family's face that I give you some face, but you don't open a dyeing house just because you have the color. Do you really think that I dare not turn against you and dare not go against you? No matter how big your family is, it is not bigger than the imperial power. With just one word from me, your family can be wiped out!" (End of this chapter)
