"Who is he? He speaks with quite the air!"
Xia Junwen said coldly, "How come I've never heard of him in Donghai City!"
"A frog in a well, how would you know my master!" Gu Wen said indifferently.
They had all participated in the brutal wars on the Outer Domain battlefield, and they did not take the people before them seriously.
"How dare you insult Young Master Xia like this!" the old man said coldly, "Believe it or not, I'll make sure you never leave Donghai City!"
"This is my nephew, Young Master Xia, please don't hold it against him!" Yang Shihai said quickly, "Young people are all like this, with a bit of drive. If this matter is settled, we'll be family."
"Uncle Yang is right. If it's settled, he'll be my brother, and how could I lay a hand on him!" Xia Junwen nodded with satisfaction, casting a meaningful glance at Lu Fan before leading his entourage away.
He had come to the Yang family this time with a plan. If the two families could form an alliance through marriage, it would be the greatest benefit to their Xia family, and he would not let this opportunity slip by.
After Xia Junwen left, Yang Shihai breathed a sigh of relief, "The Xia family has the greatest influence in Donghai City, and it's not good to offend them. Xiao Fan, you should leave today!"
"Dad, why the rush!"
Yang Shiyun spoke up, "Xiao Fan finally found us, you should let him stay for a while longer."
"You don't know, the Xia family has always been ruthless in their dealings!"
Yang Shihai said directly, "Xiao Fan just offended him with his words, and he won't let it go!"
"Don't worry, Uncle. He can't do anything to me!" Lu Fan smiled, "You don't need to worry too much!"
"But..." Su Dan Novel Network
Yang Shiwen still frowned. He wanted to say more, but Lu Fan was so serious that he couldn't say too much.
"Dad, since you know the Xia family is ruthless, why didn't you refuse directly just now?" Yang Shiyun frowned.
"It's precisely because of this that I dare not refuse easily!" Yang Shihai said solemnly, "The Xia family wants to annex the Yang family, so why would they seek the Yang family's consent? If the Yang family is unwilling, they will never give up!"
"They're simply bandits!" Yang Shiyun cursed, "I knew he wasn't a good person when we were in college. Now they want to force a marriage, their goal is to annex my Yang family, and I will never let them succeed!"
"It's not that easy to stop him!" Yang Shihai shook his head, "The Xia family has immense influence in Donghai City. No one they target can survive!"
"Uncle, why don't you let me handle this matter!" Lu Fan said, "I've been out in the world for these years, and I have some skills!"
"Xiao Fan, you must not be reckless!"
Yang Shihai quickly said, "A dragon from afar cannot suppress a local snake, let alone this is Donghai City. Even I have no way, what way can you have!"
"My master has many ways, and can solve this matter by any means!" Gu Wen said directly.
Lu Fan, however, gave him a sideways glance. He didn't want his uncle to think he was omnipotent.
"Xiao Fan, what exactly do you do in Longdu?" Yang Shiyun asked in surprise, "You seem to have quite a background!"
"Sister Shiyun is joking!" Lu Fan said awkwardly, "I just want to do my best to help you through this difficult time!"
"I will handle this matter myself!" Yang Shiyun said directly, "You don't need to worry too much about it. Since you've come to Donghai City, you should have a good time. As for my affairs, you don't need to bother."
"Since Sister Shiyun says so, I'll pretend I know nothing!" Lu Fan smiled.
Yang Shiyun nodded slightly, but her heart felt a bit bitter, not knowing what to do. The Xia family was extremely powerful, and if they truly wanted her to marry into their family, the Yang family would have no way to refuse.
When night fell, after dinner, Lu Fan looked at Gu Wen, "Go and find out where Xia Junwen is now. I want to meet him!"
Gu Wen nodded slightly and left the Yang family. He was also quite displeased with Xia Junwen, and if he could teach him a good lesson, he wouldn't miss the opportunity.
Lu Fan went to his room and stayed by his maternal grandmother's side, his expression instantly calming.
However, at this moment, Lu Fan's gaze shifted towards the outside of the Yang family courtyard.
Sensing this aura, Lu Fan's figure moved like a phantom, instantly appearing outside the Yang family courtyard.
"Your subordinate, the City Lord of Donghai City, pays his respects to Lord Lu!"
A middle-aged man, accompanied by many martial arts experts, bowed to Lu Fan with cupped fists, their eyes showing deep respect.
"Why have you come?"
Lu Fan glanced at them, "I didn't ask you to come. Your news is so well-informed, it truly surprises me!"
"Your Excellency's status is noble, and news will spread wherever you go!"
The City Lord of Donghai City said quickly, "Now that Your Excellency has come to Donghai City, naturally I dare not be negligent!"
"Go back!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "My purpose in coming to Donghai City this time is to find someone. You don't need to be so fawning!"
After Lu Fan finished speaking, he walked towards the Yang family courtyard, his expression becoming even more indifferent.
Although the City Lord of Donghai City was respectful, to Lu Fan, these were nothing. It was easy to add flowers to the brocade, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Now that Lu Fan was famous throughout Longguo, many people would naturally want to curry favor.
Seeing Lu Fan's departing figure, the City Lord of Donghai City let out a sigh of relief, "You all be instructed, no mistakes should occur within Donghai City. If anyone dares to offend Lord Lu, they will pay the price!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Several martial arts experts nodded and said in unison, "Was that Lord Lu just now? He killed over ten War King powerhouses on the Outer Domain battlefield, and even the Alliance of Nations was created by him!"
"That is natural!"
The City Lord of Donghai City nodded solemnly, "Otherwise, why would I be so concerned? You must be vigilant during Lord Lu's stay in Donghai City. If you displease Lord Lu, you will suffer the consequences!"
"City Lord, rest assured, we will not disappoint you!"
Several experts nodded, their hearts filled with excitement. To meet a legendary figure was a lifelong regret fulfilled.
Just as he returned to the courtyard, Lu Fan was about to enter his room when Yang Shiyun walked over, "Xiao Fan, where were you going?"
"Just went out for a bit!" Lu Fan said with a light smile, "Sister Shiyun, why are you still awake so late!"
"How can I sleep!"
Yang Shiyun gave a wry smile, "Since you have nothing to do, why don't we have a drink!"
"Alright!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, not refusing. After all, they hadn't seen each other for so many years, and he felt a bit excited. A little tipsiness would be quite comfortable.
Yang Shiyun brought out the red wine and poured a full glass for Lu Fan, "How did you endure all these years of hardship!"
"If it weren't for my master, I might not have survived!" Lu Fan said with a bitter smile.
