After Lu Fan left, he arrived at Tianquan Mountain Villa. Old Fu sat on a chair, sipping a cup of clear tea, his hair completely white.
At this moment, Old Fu was radiant, and the entire person seemed much more relaxed. The events of eighteen years ago were finally resolved, and Lu Fan had become a powerful figure. His greatest wish had finally been fulfilled before his death.
"Old Fu, why are you sitting outside by yourself?"
Lu Fan walked in, a smile on his face. He was the sole survivor of the Lu family, and in Lu Fan's heart, he had always regarded Old Fu as his closest kin.
"Young Master, why do you have time to visit?" Old Fu quickly got up, showing even more deference to Lu Fan.
"I've come today specifically to deliver medicine," Lu Fan said with a light laugh, taking out a pill. "This is a pill I specially refined, which can extend your life."
"I've reached this age; living longer isn't that important anymore," Old Fu said with satisfaction. "The Lu family's great revenge has been avenged, and I am content!"
"You mustn't say that, Old Fu!" Lu Fan took out another pill. "In this world, you are my closest kin. If you don't live a few more years, how can you witness my growth!"
"Young Master..." Old Fu was choked with emotion. "This old servant..."
Lu Fan waved his hand, not letting Old Fu continue. "You don't need to say more, Old Fu. As for what comes next, I will handle it!"
"I've already sent people to inquire, and there is indeed a Jinguang Martial Arts Hall in Chuzhou," Old Fu said solemnly. "What the five great families said might not be baseless rumors!"
"Rest assured, Old Fu. After the Spring Festival, I will personally go to Chuzhou!" Lu Fan's expression was serious.
The destruction of the Lu family eighteen years ago was undeniably linked to Du Qiūqiān, and Lu Fan was determined to uncover the truth.
After some pleasantries, Lu Fan left Tianquan Mountain Villa. The Spring Festival was fast approaching, and he also had to purchase New Year's goods in the coming days, keeping him quite busy.
After Lu Fan left, Old Zhao came to Old Fu's side. "The Young Master truly has filial piety, specially sending medicine!"
"Although the Young Master is powerful, he is too benevolent," Old Fu shook his head. "This is not a good thing."
"Old Fu speaks the truth. The Young Master spared the other three great families; one wonders if it will bring trouble upon him later," Old Zhao nodded. "After all, no matter what, those three great families have some foundation." Su Dan Novel Network
"Since it is the Young Master's wish, we shall comply."
Old Fu waved his hand. "With the Young Master's current strength, those few families are nothing to fear."
Old Zhao nodded slightly and said no more. Since Old Fu had spoken, he naturally could not go against it.
Leaving Tianquan Mountain Villa, Lu Fan returned to Tianfu Courtyard. Several luxury cars were parked outside the courtyard, and servants were carrying items from them, creating a continuous flow.
When Lu Fan entered the villa, he saw everyone led by Butler Wu.
"Everyone, work quickly and be careful not to bump or scratch anything," Butler Wu directed. "These were carefully selected by the family head!"
Lin Ke stood to the side, looking a bit helpless. Upon seeing Lu Fan, she approached him. "Brother Lu Fan, these are from the Lin family of Jiangbei! But I don't want them."
"It's alright, since your father sent them, just accept them!" Lu Fan said with a light smile. "After all, you are your father's daughter. As a powerful figure in Jiangbei, these things are nothing to him!"
"Little brother speaks the truth!" Butler Wu nodded. "These things are nothing to the Lin family! This time, the family head specially sent me here, not only to deliver gifts but also to make a request."
"Speak freely!" Lu Fan stated directly. "Are you asking for Lin Ke to return to Jiangbei?"
"Whether Miss Lin wants to return or not, we servants dare not force her!" Butler Wu said seriously. "However, there is a custom in Jiangbei that descendants must return home for ancestral worship before the New Year. We hope Miss can accompany this old servant!"
"Is this Lin Aotian's wish?" Lu Fan glanced over. "I was also planning to go. Since it's for ancestral worship, I will accompany him!"
"This..." Butler Wu frowned slightly. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to want to accompany Lin Ke.
"If Butler Wu feels it's inappropriate, then I won't go to Jiangbei!" Lin Ke said directly. "After all these years, I've managed on my own."
"Since Miss commands, how can we dare to disobey!" Butler Wu quickly cupped his fists. "We came this time to welcome Miss!"
Lin Ke nodded, not saying much more. She didn't have much affection for Butler Wu.
Granny Guihua arranged a room for Butler Wu and specially prepared a table of delicious dishes. Granny Guihua was also quite hospitable to Butler Wu and the others, as they were from the Lin family.
After so many years of relying on each other with Lin Ke, seeing that Lin Ke could find her family and personally go for ancestral worship brought her some comfort.
"Granny, I will be going to Jiangbei tomorrow," Lin Ke said. "Granny, why don't you come with me!"
"How can I go for your ancestral worship?" Granny Guihua shook her head. "I still have many things to do. The osmanthus stall's business has been booming lately."
"If Granny doesn't plan to go, then I won't go either!" Lin Ke said stubbornly. "During the Spring Festival, Granny will be home alone; how can I be at ease!"
"What is there to worry about with an old woman like me," Granny Guihua smiled. "This time going for ancestral worship, you must not cause trouble."
"Don't worry, Granny, I will accompany him!" Lu Fan said with a light smile. "Nothing will happen! No matter where we go, as long as the three of us are together, even the greatest of troubles can be resolved!"
"But..." Granny Guihua seemed hesitant. She didn't wish to go to Jiangbei; at least, in her opinion, the Lin family of Jiangbei was not where she belonged.
"Granny, since Miss intends for you to go, why don't you accompany Miss!" Butler Wu said with a smile. "This way, Miss will have a companion and won't be so lonely. After the ancestral worship, whether Miss wishes to stay in Jiangbei or return, we will respect her wishes."
"Granny, please come with me!" Lin Ke pleaded.
"Alright, then I will accompany you!" Granny Guihua seemed to have made up her mind, her tone becoming much firmer.
Lin Ke was overjoyed. Granny Guihua had always been stubborn, and if she hadn't persuaded her kindly, Granny Guihua might not have agreed.
The next morning, Lu Fan and the others set off for Jiangbei in the Lin family's luxury cars. Looking at the endless stream of people, Lin Ke's expression showed a hint of emotion.
For so many years, she and Granny Guihua had relied on each other. Now, returning to the Lin family of Jiangbei, she didn't know what changes awaited her.
After all, she knew that the Lin family was not simple. As a prominent family in Jiangbei, the waters were likely very deep. It was uncertain if she, a young girl, could handle it upon arriving at the Lin family.
"Don't worry, I will always be by your side!" Lu Fan smiled. "No matter what happens, I will protect you well! I will never let you be harmed."
