After Da Tou left, Xiao Jia hurried over, "Thank you all for your help, but that person just now is probably not a good sort."
"Don't worry, even if he's not a good person, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly," Shen Xiaoxiao waved her hand. "My Shen family still has some authority."
Lu Fan glanced at Xiao Jia, his gaze fixed on him as if something had captivated Lu Fan.
"Miss, I see you have insufficient qi and blood. Have you been ill recently?" Lu Fan asked. "Or are there any other symptoms?"
"No!" Xiao Jia quickly shook his head. "I don't have any other illnesses."
At this point, Xiao Jia suddenly became wary, looking around as if he were hiding something.
"Mr. Lu, you've scared him," Shen Xiaoxiao said with a wry smile. "If there's nothing else, please don't trouble him. He looks quite pitiful."
"I have no intention of troubling him!" Lu Fan rolled his eyes, feeling helpless that Shen Xiaoxiao saw him that way.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't say much more. Lu Fan's concern for a stranger naturally led to speculation.
"It's getting late, and we've finished eating. Shouldn't we be going?"
Lu Fan wiped his mouth and then said softly, "After all, there are still many things to handle!"
"Since Mr. Lu is in such a hurry, I naturally won't keep you," Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. "If you encounter any difficulties in Chuzhou in the future, you can come to me. I can resolve most matters!"
"In that case, thank you!"
Lu Fan nodded and prepared to leave with Han Yunhai.
"You're new to Chuzhou, so you probably don't have a place to stay yet." Shen Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Why don't I arrange something for you!"
"I think that's unnecessary!" Lu Fan shrugged. "We have a place to stay in Chuzhou!"
Shen Xiaoxiao looked a bit embarrassed. Since Lu Fan had already said that, he couldn't say anything more.
As soon as they left Tianxia Mingchu, Han Yunhai looked at Lu Fan, "My lord, did you take a liking to that person just now? Otherwise, why would you help? That's not your usual character."
"That woman is not simple. I sensed another aura from her."
Lu Fan said directly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have intervened. It's a pity I couldn't get anything out of her, otherwise, we could have tested her!"
"My lord means that this woman is hiding something?" Han Yunhai frowned. "Shall I investigate personally!"
"That's really not necessary!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "We have many things to do in Chuzhou this time. As for that woman, I'm just a little curious, and she has nothing to do with us."
Han Yunhai quickly nodded, not daring to say anything more. As long as it was Lu Fan's order, he always followed it without question.
"Jiangjing Bieyuan is the best residential area in Chuzhou."
Han Yunhai said, "Before coming to Chuzhou, I had already ordered someone to buy it. It should be a good environment for Lord Lu to stay in."
"You've thought of everything!" Lu Fan nodded, but at that moment, Lu Fan looked into the distance and slightly raised his eyebrows.
"There's a martial aura."
Han Yunhai also noticed something and quickly said, looking forward. He saw several cars ahead, with the leading car stopping first.
"The Zhao family welcomes Lord Lu!"
The Zhao family head respectfully got out of the car and cupped his fists towards Lu Fan, appearing extremely deferential.
He had experienced Lu Fan's methods by Qingzhou Lake last time and naturally dared not neglect him. The moment Lu Fan arrived in Chuzhou, he had already prepared to pay his respects.
"I never expected you to be in Chuzhou as well." Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If it weren't for the Yun family, I probably wouldn't have met the Zhao family head!"
"I heard Lord Lu was coming to Chuzhou, so I rushed here without delay. I hope my lord will not blame me." The Zhao family head quickly cupped his fists. "A few days ago in Jiangnan, my Zhao family offended Lord Lu, and it was truly our transgression!"
"Patriarch Zhao is a Grandmaster, why speak in such terms?" Lu Fan waved his hand. "But then again, since your Zhao family is in Chuzhou, I do have some questions to ask!"
"My lord, please. I will tell you anything I know!" The Zhao family head was quite flattering.
In the entire Chuzhou, there were probably few people who could make him act this way. Facing Lu Fan, he felt fear in his heart.
Four Grandmasters working together couldn't suppress Lu Fan, and one Grandmaster even perished. Such formidable strength made people even more wary.
Under the guidance of the Zhao family head, Lu Fan arrived at a tea house that looked ancient and elegant. There was no one else around, only the Zhao family head and Lu Fan's group.
"My lord, what would you like to ask?" the Zhao family head asked flatteringly.
"Do you know Jinguang Martial Arts Hall?" Lu Fan asked directly.
"I naturally know about the influential forces in Chuzhou." The Zhao family head nodded. "Did Jinguang Martial Arts Hall offend Lord Lu?"
"According to common sense, there should be some grievances." Lu Fan nodded slightly.
The Zhao family head trembled violently. "How could Lord Lu have grievances with Jinguang Martial Arts Hall? If that's the case, this matter might be difficult to handle!"
"It's just an ordinary martial arts hall, what's so difficult about it," Han Yunhai said coldly. Su Dan Novel Network
"This martial arts hall is not ordinary. It seems to have some hidden expert behind it," the Zhao family head said directly. "In the past decade, Jinguang Martial Arts Hall has recruited many disciples, and they have maintained a distance from the Zhao family."
"If you had to choose a side, which side would you stand on?" Lu Fan asked coldly.
The Zhao family head trembled violently, his expression changing. He never expected Lu Fan to ask such a question, leaving him unsure how to answer.
"It seems the Zhao family head is not sincere towards Lord Lu," Han Yunhai said coldly. "If that's the case, the Zhao family head doesn't need to do these superficial gestures!"
"My Zhao family is loyal to Lord Lu with all our hearts, and we have no second thoughts!" The Zhao family head quickly cupped his fists. "If we truly had to choose, the Zhao family would naturally stand with Lord Lu!"
"Remember what you said today!" Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the outside of the tea house.
Although Lu Fan was powerful, he was well aware that with the support of martial arts families, there would be even more peculiar effects. Since the Zhao family was willing to serve him, Lu Fan would not refuse.
After Lu Fan left, an elder from the Zhao family said, "Patriarch, Jinguang Martial Arts Hall has a mysterious expert behind it, not an ordinary person. If Lord Lu really wants the Zhao family to deal with Jinguang Martial Arts Hall, what should the Zhao family do?"
"A fence-sitter is ultimately useless," the Zhao family head said decisively. "From now on, my Zhao family will swear allegiance to Lord Lu, even if it means going all the way to the end!"
The Zhao family members trembled violently. They didn't expect the Zhao family head to make such a decision, which surprised them.
After all, under normal circumstances, why would a martial arts family willingly submit to others?
"Patriarch, please reconsider!"
