Lu Fan waved his hand, "That would be for the best!"
Yun Bei dared not say more and led the Yun family members away.
Despite the immense humiliation, he knew it was not yet time for revenge. Given the strength Lu Fan had displayed, how could the Yun family, without a Grandmaster, suppress him?
"Thank you for your great kindness, Mr. Lu!"
Old Man Han cupped his fists, his gratitude boundless. If not for Lu Fan, the Han family of Jiangbei would have suffered humiliation and even lost all face today.
"Patriarch Han, there's no need for such formalities!" Lu Fan said with a smile, "Qiu Shui is my disciple. If the Han family is in trouble, how can I stand by and do nothing!"
Han Qiu Shui stood to the side, a sense of happiness on his face. Having such a protective master, he considered himself truly fortunate.
The other onlookers also admired Lu Fan and praised him inwardly, feeling that he had taught the Yun family a harsh lesson and avenged them.
"Patriarch, the Yun family has been humiliated and will likely not let this matter rest!" Old Zhou stepped forward, "What should we do next?"
"The Yun family has long wanted to annex the Han family, but they lacked a reason!" Patriarch Han stated frankly, "Even if we hadn't offended them today, the Yun family would not have let it go!"
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If the Yun family seeks revenge, I will not stand idly by!" Lu Fan said directly, "You don't need to worry too much."
"Today's events have already troubled Master. How can we dare to bother you again in the future!" Han Qiu Shui quickly shook his head, "Yun Bei will surely not return with good news. Master, you must also be careful in the future!"
"You worry too much!" Lu Fan chuckled, "Even if a Grandmaster from the Yun family were here, I would still not fear them!"
Han Qiu Shui gave a wry smile and said no more. Lu Fan's strength was indeed formidable, perhaps even that of a Grandmaster. However, he knew better.
The Yun family of Jiangbei had two Grandmasters, making them no ordinary family. If the two Grandmasters were to come to Jiangnan, the Han family would be annihilated, and Lu Fan might not be able to resist them.
"It's getting late, I should be going back!"
Lu Fan said with a smile, "As for the Yun family, if they send anyone, just notify me!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Old Zhou hurriedly bowed, his heart filled with gratitude.
Patriarch Han stood by, feeling somewhat awkward.
He knew Lu Fan was powerful, but this matter was no trivial affair, and he did not want Lu Fan to be involved.
At least in his eyes, this was the Han family's business, with no relation to Lu Fan. Lu Fan's intervention today was already more than they could have hoped for.
Watching Lu Fan's retreating figure, Han Qiu Shui sighed, "The Yun family is too powerful. Master shouldn't have gotten involved!"
"Indeed!" Patriarch Han nodded, "If the Yun family attacks in the future, do not inform Mr. Lu!"
"Patriarch, besides Mr. Lu, is there anyone else who can save the Han family?" Old Zhou asked helplessly, "If we abandon even this last hope, won't the Han family be doomed?"
Patriarch Han trembled, then said resolutely, "The Han family's time may be running out. After we return, distribute the family's wealth!"
"Patriarch, you are..." Old Zhou was shocked, "We are all members of the Han family. If we die, we will be ghosts of the Han family. We will never live in shame!"
"Never in shame!"
The other experts of the Han family nodded in agreement. They had all received great kindness from Old Master Han, and now that the Han family was in dire straits, how could they easily leave?
Patriarch Han said no more, his figure dejected as he headed towards the Han family. Perhaps in his heart, he had already decided what to do next.
In the Lin family courtyard, Lin Haitao's expression was cold. Beside him, besides Lin Yalan, there was another man.
"Young Master, we have investigated thoroughly. The young man named Lu has no background!" the bald man stated directly, "He is not famous in Qingzhou either!"
"Are you sure you've inquired properly?" Lin Yalan frowned. She did not believe that an ordinary person could command such treatment from the Han family.
"It is absolutely true!" the bald man said seriously, "If Miss does not believe me, she can send someone else to inquire again!"
"I knew it. What could that brat possibly be capable of?" Lin Haitao said with displeasure, "If I had known, I would have taught him a good lesson just now!"
Lin Yalan did not say much. She had already sent people to investigate, so it was not appropriate for her to say more.
As they were talking, two figures approached. Lin Haitao also stood up abruptly, "You two have quite the nerve to dare return to the Lin family?"
"I'm escorting Lin Ke home. Is there anything wrong with that?" Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders, "Young Master Lin seems to have a lot of opinions?"
"You embarrassed me in front of everyone, and you still dare to say that!"
Lin Haitao said coldly, "Believe it or not, I'll make you crawl out of here!"
"Young Master Lin can try!" Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders, "Even the Han family of Jiangbei would not dare treat me like this. Young Master Lin should think carefully!"
"Hmph!" Lin Haitao snorted coldly, "You want to threaten me with the Han family of Jiangbei? Don't think I don't know that you just used some trick to fool the Han family into obeying your every word. If I tell the Han family about this, you'll be nothing!"
"As you wish!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "Lin Ke, you are safely home. I'll be going back now!"
"Brother Lu Fan, be careful on your way!" Lin Ke said softly.
Lu Fan pursed his lips into a smile, full of tenderness.
"Trying to leave?" Lin Haitao blocked Lu Fan, "You dared to make me lose face at the hotel, I'll kill you!"
Lu Fan's expression turned cold. He was not fond of Lin Haitao.
"Stop!"
Lin Aotian strode over, "What's going on?"
"Uncle, Brother is just saying that out of anger!" Lin Yalan stepped forward and said, "Please don't misunderstand!"
"I have already decided to marry Lin Ke to Lu Fan!" Lin Aotian said coldly, "From now on, he is also a member of the Lin family. I hope you will all behave yourselves!"
"Uncle, just because of him, he wants to have any connection with the Lin family?" Lin Haitao said with displeasure, "Old Madam will probably not agree!"
"I am Xiao Ke's biological father!" Lin Aotian said coldly, "If I see you harming them again, don't blame me, your uncle, for not warning you!"
Lin Haitao was furious and turned to leave, filled with boundless anger. He, the dignified young master of the Lin family, could deal with someone with just a flick of his finger, yet he was repeatedly thwarted.
After Lin Haitao left, Lin Aotian looked at Lu Fan, "From now on, stay away from him and don't bother with him!"
"I understand!" Lu Fan nodded, "Uncle, is what you just said true?"
Lin Aotian gave him a sideways glance, "Although you, kid, are not very capable, you are ultimately good to Lin Ke, and your medical skills are also good. It's a bit difficult, but as long as Lin Ke likes it, I naturally won't object!"
"Thank you, Dad!" Lin Ke said with great satisfaction. She was quite happy that Lin Aotian's thinking had changed.
"Don't worry, Uncle. I will never disappoint you in the future!"
Lu Fan nodded, his face filled with joy.
And not long after, Lu Fan left the Lin family and headed towards his residence.
"Xiao Ke, have you thought it through?" Lin Aotian turned around, "As long as it's what you like, Dad will definitely not stop you!"
"Of course, I've thought it through!" Lin Ke nodded, "I will only marry Brother Lu Fan in this lifetime!"
