The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"What a powerful strike!"

There were gasps of surprise at the banquet, and some people even stood up abruptly on their own.

Some of the swordsmen, in particular, stared at Lu Yuan, who stood with his sword in the video, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

Among the guests present, there were either powerful figures or people of high status and influence. They had all seen the world, but very few had ever witnessed such swordsmanship.

For ordinary martial artists, a low-grade Earth-rank combat skill is already top-tier.

Although Lu Yuan's strike was derived from a low-grade Earth-rank combat skill, its power far surpassed that of a typical low-grade Earth-rank skill, almost reaching the level of a mid-grade skill!

Of course, there were many experts and powerful individuals present, and many more were capable of unleashing such an attack and blocking it.

But it must be understood that Lu Yuan was only a junior general. For a junior general to unleash such a strike, one can only imagine the power of the same combat techniques and sword skills used by them.

"Is this still the Rift I know?"

"It's not just the earth that's cracked; you can see even the sky is being torn apart."

Even after a few breaths, as everyone gradually came to their senses, they continued to discuss it.

Everyone was talking about Lu Yuan's strike just now, to the point that they almost forgot about Lei Tieming, who had been cleaved into the water.

According to the rules, falling off the ring means you've lost.

In other words, Lu Yuan won!

"I lost... How could this be... How could I have lost..."

At this moment, the only one still concerned about winning or losing this bet was Shen Fengxing.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he kept muttering to himself.

Suddenly, he shuddered and felt a chill run down his spine. He instinctively turned his head and saw Shen Fuyue glancing at him almost imperceptibly.

Just one glance, and Shen Fengxing felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"I actually lost..."

Lei Tieming climbed out of the lake and lay on the ground, his face pale.

Although Lu Yuan's slash was not intended to kill him, injury was inevitable. Aside from the physical wounds, what truly drove him to despair was the outcome of this gamble.

It doesn't matter that he lost; as a professional martial artist, he's not even afraid of death. But now that he's lost, what will happen to his little sister?

"Don't worry."

Just then, Lu Yuan spoke, his tone still calm and composed.

"No matter what weaknesses you have that Shen Fengxing can exploit, now that you are my subordinate, I and the Shen family will naturally help you resolve them."

"you……"

Lei Tieming raised his head and looked at Lu Yuan in surprise.

He had just tried to kill Lu Yuan, yet Lu Yuan was still willing to help him!

Yes.

Lei Tieming then remembered that their bet stipulated that if Lu Yuan won, he would have to obey and submit to Lu Yuan.

Thinking of this, Lei Tieming's eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

If Lu Yuan is willing to help him, perhaps he can rescue his little sister.

Lu Yuan remained calm and composed, then glanced towards the banquet area.

He didn't have that kind of power, but the Shen family did, and he believed that Old Master Shen had already made arrangements.

And that is indeed the case.

Before this gambling match even began, Shen Fuyue had already ordered someone to investigate the matter. Lei Tieming was a figure of considerable influence, and since he was willing to be ordered around by Shen Fengxing, there must be some weakness that had been exploited against him.

Once the matter is thoroughly investigated and resolved, even if Lei Tieming wins, Shen Fuyue can use this to force Lei Tieming to cancel or change the bet.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan proved himself so capable, defeating Lei Tieming directly.

Shen Fuyue couldn't help but smile. Such talent and comprehension, he truly is a worthy son-in-law of the Shen family.

The duel was over, and Lu Yuan left the arena to return to the banquet.

As for Lei Tieming, he waited outside the venue.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan return, everyone turned to look or nodded in greeting.

Besides recognizing Lu Yuan's strength, it's also because, based on this performance, he will definitely be valued by Shen Fuyue, and his future is limitless!

Even if you can't befriend them, at least you shouldn't offend them casually.

"Father-in-law, your son-in-law is back."

He walked straight to the main table and first bowed to Shen Fuyue to report.

"it is good."

Shen Fuyue nodded and simply said that he could return to his seat.

Lu Yuan stepped back, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he looked at Shen Fengxing at the next table and gave him a reprimand.

"Get lost when you see me."

"you!"

Shen Fengxing stood up abruptly, clenching his fists and glaring angrily at Lu Yuan.

But nothing happened.

Although Shen Fengxing is a six-star warrior, he is not much stronger than Lei Tieming. Lei Tieming is no match for Lu Yuan. If he were to make a move, he would only humiliate himself.

Moreover, no one would ask him to take action at this time.

As for arguing, it's pointless, and he doesn't seem to be able to win the argument anyway.

"What? You're not convinced?"

Seeing Shen Fengxing's indignant expression, Lu Yuan sneered contemptuously.

"Have you forgotten the bet we just made?"

"The bet..."

Shen Fengxing was startled, and then suddenly remembered.

Yes, not only Lei Tieming, but Lu Yuan also made a bet with him.

Lei Tieming lost. According to the bet, Shen Fengxing must avoid Lu Yuan from now on!

Therefore, it makes sense for Lu Yuan to tell him to get lost at this moment.

Of course, it's reasonable but unreasonable, and in front of everyone, it's tantamount to slapping him in the face with a shoe.

"Do you want to breach the contract? All the distinguished guests are watching."

Lu Yuan smiled, with a playful expression.

Shen Fengxing opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute it.

Looking around, the guests all seemed to be watching a good show, especially the second branch of the family. As for the third branch, including their mother, they all had indifferent expressions.

Finally, Shen Fengxing looked at Shen Fuyue. Shen Fuyue was expressionless, but he did not speak, which already showed his stance.

"Lu Yuan! I will repay this humiliation a hundredfold in the future! We will never be enemies!"

With his fists clenched, Shen Fengxing roared and stormed off his seat.

Watching Shen Fengxing leave quickly, Lu Yuan sneered again. He was the one who lost face, yet he was blaming him.

After dismissing Shen Fengxing, Lu Yuan didn't say anything more before sitting down to continue enjoying the banquet.

"snort."

Without even looking up, Lu Yuan could sense the apprehension and hostility from the third and second families next door. He snorted lightly, thinking, "When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it." He decided not to take it to heart for now.

And so, more than an hour later, the banquet came to an end.

Most of the guests said their goodbyes and left, and several male members of the second and third branches of the Shen family saw them off. A few distinguished guests did not leave, but went elsewhere to drink tea and chat.

"Bingbing, and Mengmeng's family, you two come and keep us company."

As he left, Shen Fuyue said something indifferently.

"Yes."

Shen Qiubing responded and got up to go over.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.

Seeing the two accompanying Shen Fuyue to entertain the VIPs, the faces of the second and third branches of the family instantly darkened.

This time, it seems the first and fourth wives have truly gained power.

Although it's Shen Fengxing's fault for not handling things properly, it seems that at least Shen Fengxing's judgment was correct. The first and fourth branches of the family absolutely cannot be allowed to continue to be so complacent.

Especially this fourth son-in-law who suddenly appeared!

"kill!"

The next moment, the second and third wives exchanged a glance. Although they did not speak, their eyes made their intentions clear.
