"Could something have happened?" Gu Wen asked again. "Master has a battle tomorrow, why is he still outside now?"
"Someone tried to assassinate me!" Lu Fan said casually. "But I've already dealt with him. I just thought he was here to assassinate me too!"
"Of course not!" the old man quickly shook his head. "I am from the Gu family. For you to have such skills at such a young age, it is truly astonishing!"
"You flatter me!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "I assume you still have matters to discuss. I shall not disturb you!"
After Lu Fan left, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Young master, why haven't you returned to the Gu family? The family head thought something had happened to you and specifically sent me to find you!"
"I have taken Mr. Lu as my master!" Gu Wen chuckled. "Go back and tell my father that I am doing well outside! Not only am I learning things, but I am also making many friends. Tell him not to worry!"
"Although the Mr. Lu from just now is young, his strength is extraordinary. If the young master can take him as a master, I believe the family head will not object!" The old man nodded slightly. "Moreover, for someone to be recognized by the young master, besides strength, they must also have great achievements in medicine!"
"Master's martial arts are not only profound, but his medical skills are also beyond our reach!" Gu Wen said directly. "He can be called an unprecedented prodigy!"
"To be praised so highly by the young master, how can he be an ordinary person!" the old man smiled. "However, as our Gu family is a family of medicine and martial arts, are there truly such prodigies in this world?"
"If there is an opportunity, I will introduce Master to the Gu family. You should go back now!"
Gu Wen smiled awkwardly. "Once I learn Master's skills, I won't have to worry in the future!"
The old man nodded slightly. Having learned that Gu Wen was safe, he saw no reason to linger.
The next morning, there were many martial artists on Qinglong Mountain. These people had come to watch the battle and had arrived early to secure good spots.
In addition to these martial artists, there were also some from within the realm who understood martial arts well and had come specifically to spectate.
"I heard that Hall Master Jin Guang's skills are like those of a grandmaster. In the entire Chuzhou, no one dares to offend the martial hall except for the Zhao family. Who is so bold today to issue a challenge to the martial hall!"
"Who knows! I heard it's someone unknown. But if they dare to issue a challenge, they must have some ability, otherwise, wouldn't they be making a fool of themselves!"
"Perhaps they are just trying to attract attention, and when they arrive at Qinglong Mountain, they will directly kneel and beg for mercy!"
Conversations erupted, with everyone analyzing the situation.
As they were talking, the Jin Guang Martial Hall's procession arrived at Qinglong Mountain in a mighty manner, exuding an imposing aura. The crowd quickly parted, not daring to obstruct them, lest they cause trouble.
Led by Jin Guang, the many disciples of the martial hall lined up, presenting a magnificent spectacle. Jin Guang's face was flushed with pride. He had broken through to the grandmaster realm just last night, and he was determined to win today's battle, with no one able to block his path. Su Dan Novel Network.
On the other side, as Lu Fan and his group emerged from the Jiangjing Villa, they saw the Zhao family head waiting for them.
"Sir, for the battle on Qinglong Mountain today, my Zhao family will accompany you!" the Zhao family head said with a smile.
Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction and directly got into the Zhao family's car.
The Zhao family head quickly said, "Sir, if Du Qianqiu does not appear during this engagement, what should we do?"
"If he doesn't appear, Hall Master Jin Guang will not live," Lu Fan said coldly. "The lives of my Lu family members will not be sacrificed in vain. If Du Qianqiu wants to be a coward, I will beat him out. Don't I have many disciples! I will challenge them one by one!"
"What you say is very true!" the Zhao family head flattered, his heart filled with shock. He had not expected Lu Fan to be so formidable.
On Qinglong Mountain, Yang Haibo and others stood by, watching silently, along with many other spectators.
"Today is a big day, shall we place a bet?" Young Master Zhu said with a smile. "Guess whether Hall Master Jin Guang will win or lose?"
"Is there even a need to guess?" Yang Haibo rolled his eyes. "Of course, Hall Master Jin Guang will win!"
"That's not certain. I have inside information that the challenger is not weak and might not be an opponent." Young Master Zhu said seriously. "If they didn't have some skill, how would they dare to do this so readily."
"What you say is indeed true!" Yang Haibo nodded, but his mind seemed elsewhere.
"By the way, did the Thirteen Swords of Life and Death succeed?" Young Master Liu asked. "Ten million is not a small sum!"
"The task I handed over last night has not yet received a reply," Yang Haibo frowned. "I don't know if something has happened!"
"What could happen? That's someone on the assassin's list, not someone ordinary people can deal with," Young Master Zhu said dismissively. "You can rest assured!"
"Even so, I still feel uneasy!" Yang Haibo said helplessly.
"Don't worry, the Thirteen Swords of Life and Death are not to be trifled with," Young Master Liu patted his shoulder.
On a nearby peak, two figures stood. Granny Viper said solemnly, "Mr. Lu is going to war with the Jin Guang Martial Hall. This location is very suitable for viewing."
"Grandmother, will Mr. Lu be alright?" Lin Xiaojia asked. "This matter has been widely spread. I heard that Hall Master Jin Guang is very powerful. If they really fight, won't it..."
"Girl, have you really developed feelings?" Grandma glanced at her. "To be so concerned!"
"Mr. Lu has been kind to me, so naturally, I don't want Mr. Lu to be in danger," Lin Xiaojia quickly said. "Grandmother, don't talk nonsense."
"Rest assured! Let alone a mere Hall Master Jin Guang, even a true grandmaster, he wouldn't take them seriously," Granny Viper said directly. "Otherwise, how could I have been injured by him!"
Lin Xiaojia nodded solemnly, and only then did she say, "That would be for the best!"
"You girl, caring about him so much, I'm afraid you've truly fallen for him," Granny Viper shook her head.
Lin Xiaojia's face turned red, and she glared at her unhappily.
More and more people gathered, and countless figures appeared on Qinglong Mountain. They had come here naturally to witness the martial arts duel.
"So much time has passed, why hasn't the challenger arrived yet? Could it be that they're scared!"
"It's normal if they're scared! After all, Hall Master Jin Guang is no ordinary person. Challenging him is like seeking death!"
Conversations arose, with the crowd filled with doubt.
Jin Guang stood atop Qinglong Mountain, looking down at the crowd, feeling as if he could see all the mountains.
If Lu Fan did not appear, it would mean a victory for the Jin Guang Martial Hall. After this, the Jin Guang Martial Hall would likely be an existence that no one in Chuzhou would dare to offend.
"Mr. Lu has arrived!"
A loud announcement rang out. The crowd turned their heads, following the sound.
Lu Fan, surrounded by people, ascended towards the summit of Qinglong Mountain.
When the crowd saw those accompanying him, their hearts were even more shaken. The many experts beside Lu Fan were actually from the Zhao family, and even the Zhao family head was among them.
