"Qingzhou will likely see great changes from now on!" Han Yunhai chuckled, "Whoever gains this person will gain the world!"
"I've never seen Master praise someone like this. It seems the heavens in Qingzhou are about to change!"
Little White Dragon's expression was solemn. He was fortunate he went early today; if Zhang Lao San hadn't handled things properly, even he would have been implicated.
"Sect Master, you're not one to be stingy. The gifts you sent today were just daily necessities, not like your usual style," Da Zhuang said awkwardly. "Doesn't this seem too meager? After all, he's someone the Sect Master wants to recruit."
"What do you know!" Han Yunhai said, smoking his cigar. "If I had given him valuable items, Mr. Lu would surely not have accepted them. It's the ordinary things that might catch his eye!"
"Sect Master's insight is profound!" Da Zhuang nodded repeatedly.
As the sky gradually darkened, inside the small, simple house, Lin Ke'er finally woke up after Lu Fan's acupuncture. She seemed as good as new.
"Brother Lu Fan, were you the one treating me just now?" Lin Ke'er asked with affectionate eyes.
"That's right!" Lu Fan smiled. "With me here from now on, you won't get sick!"
"But for some reason, I get sick a few times every month and faint without warning," Lin Ke'er said weakly.
"This..."
Lu Fan gave an awkward smile but didn't say more. Such matters were difficult to speak of. Lin Ke'er possessed an extreme cold constitution; only by combining with him could she be completely cured.
However, such things couldn't be casually mentioned. Ke'er was still a young lady, and Lu Fan naturally had to be discreet.
"Ke'er, if it weren't for Xiao Fan, you would have been in great danger today," Granny Guihua said, bringing over osmanthus sweet soup. "Hurry and drink this osmanthus sweet soup."
Lin Ke'er nodded and slowly began to drink. Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared outside, and a torrential rain began to fall. The small, simple house seemed fragile in the downpour.
"If it keeps raining like this, this commoner village will be flooded," Granny Guihua worried. "Once I earn some money, I'll definitely take you to a better place!"
"Don't worry, Granny. Leave this to me!" Lu Fan said seriously. "After all, I can't just eat and live here for free. You're getting old, and it's time for you to enjoy life."
"Xiao Fan, just hearing you say that is enough for me," Granny Guihua smiled. "From now on, you are my closest family."
Lin Ke'er nodded solemnly and nestled into Granny Guihua's embrace. She knew that Granny Guihua had found her as a baby, but for so many years, Granny Guihua had treated her like her own granddaughter. She saw all of this.
The next morning, after eating millet porridge, Lu Fan rode his bicycle with Lin Ke'er towards the school.
As soon as they arrived at the school, it caused quite a stir. Many people looked at Lu Fan, pointing and whispering. No one knew what had happened.
Lin Ke'er seemed to have achieved something, getting off the bike with a giggle. "Brother Lu Fan, I've arrived at school!"
Lu Fan nodded and handed the bicycle to Lin Ke'er. "Then you go in. I'll pick you up after class!"
Lin Ke'er nodded happily and pushed the bicycle towards the university.
"Isn't that the campus beauty from the commoner village? Why is she riding on a guy's bike?"
"Who knows! Lin Ke'er has always been aloof. Many rich young masters have tried to pursue her, but she rejected them all. I never expected her to fall for a poor boy."
"Perhaps this is the legend: it's better to laugh on a bicycle than cry in a BMW!"
At the university entrance, conversations continued. Although they were some distance from Lu Fan, his hearing was sharp, and he heard them clearly.
Watching Lin Ke'er's retreating back, Lu Fan rolled his eyes. "Looks like I'm being used as a shield today!"
Just as he was about to leave, several men blocked his path. "Who are you to Lin Ke'er?"
The man in the lead had stylish hair, wore a suit, and looked somewhat noble, with a luxury watch on his wrist.
"I'm her brother!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Any problem?"
"Don't talk nonsense here. I've never heard of her having a brother!" Qin Huai'an said coldly. "She's the woman I've set my sights on, understand?"
As he spoke, many people gathered around, ready to watch the show.
Qin Huai'an was known as Young Master Qin. He had some influence at Qingzhou University and was the son of a wealthy family, naturally looking down on others.
"I really don't understand!" Lu Fan chuckled and walked forward. Not to mention these few people, even ten more wouldn't be enough for him to care about.
"You don't know what's good for you!"
Qin Huai'an touched his watch, and several boys beside him stepped forward to block Lu Fan, intending to strike him down. However, Lu Fan tripped them one after another.
Qin Huai'an frowned slightly. "I didn't expect you to be a martial artist. You've got some skill!"
"Whether I have skill or not is irrelevant. However, some people are not to be touched, like Lin Ke'er." Lu Fan smiled. "From now on, I don't want to hear those three words from your mouth!"
"Arrogant!"
Qin Huai'an took off his coat and walked towards Lu Fan. He was a black belt master; otherwise, he wouldn't have so many people listening to him at Qingzhou University.
"As expected, she's a femme fatale. This kid is probably finished!"
"Who says not! Qin Huai'an is a black belt master and has won the Taekwondo championship at Qingzhou University for several years!"
The university entrance was crowded with people, many of whom were discussing and even nervous.
*Slap...*
As everyone chatted, Lu Fan had already made his move. He punched Qin Huai'an in the face. Caught off guard, Qin Huai'an fell to the ground, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
The atmosphere froze. Everyone stood stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
"This..."
The crowd's exclamations and Qin Huai'an's disbelief.
"I told you just now, I don't want to hear those three words from your mouth again!"
Lu Fan wiped his fist and turned to leave. Dealing with such clowns was nothing to him. After all, his years of training on the mountain had not been in vain.
Qin Huai'an was helped up, his handsome face swollen like a pig's head.
"Young Master Qin, are you alright?" a man asked.
"Damn it, go investigate!" Qin Huai'an said coldly. "What's this kid's background? I must grind him into dust!"
Several men quickly nodded, not daring to delay.
Qin Huai'an felt quite embarrassed and fled the scene. He had pursued Lin Ke'er multiple times and been ruthlessly rejected. To be beaten up today, if this spread throughout Qingzhou University, how could his Young Master Qin's reputation remain?
After leaving the school, Lu Fan headed towards the pharmacy. Lin Ke'er's body was too weak, so Lu Fan planned to personally brew her some medicinal herbs to help retain her vital energy.
"Young man, ten times the compensation for fakes. Want to take a look?"
At a street stall, a man smiled. "Everything here is genuine."
Lu Fan looked over and scanned the stall. His gaze then settled on a teacup. "How much for this teacup?" Su Dan Novel Network
"This is an ancient celadon teacup, absolutely the finest of the finest," the boss said to himself. "If you're sincere, I'll sell it to you for five thousand!"
