Petals danced in the air, causing quite a stir. Many figures came to watch, especially the women, who showed delight.
Within Bailong Town, there was a sea of flowers, but they never imagined these flowers would fly through the sky, fulfilling their girlish dreams.
In the hazy night, Lin Ke and Xiao Qi chased each other amidst the sea of flowers, their faces filled with smiles.
Lu Fan sat in a pavilion by the flower sea. Though he drank wine, his gaze was fixed on the two figures in the distance, particularly on Lin Ke, with an air of indulgence.
Chen Pangzi glanced at Lu Fan, then at Lin Ke in the flower sea, and immediately chuckled, "Sir, do you fancy that young lady? If so, I'll send her to your room tonight!"
Everyone looked over in unison, indeed spotting two women chasing each other in the flower sea, appearing quite charming. Su Dan Novel Network.
"You are a big shot in Jiangnan, yet this is your character?" Lu Fan said coldly, "If you dare to touch a single hair on her, I can make you vanish into thin air!"
"Sir, I spoke out of turn just now. You are magnanimous, please don't hold it against me!" Chen Pangzi quickly stood up, his heart filled with dread. He had intended to curry favor with Lu Fan but had instead incurred his displeasure.
"Those two are Mr. Lu's friends. Chen Pangzi, have you grown a leopard's gall to even think of them!" Han Yunhai said coldly from the side.
Chen Pangzi shivered, regretting his words even more. He shouldn't have said that.
"Alright! The wine is finished, and it's getting late. Everyone, you may disperse."
Lu Fan finished speaking, slowly stood up, and left the pavilion, heading towards the flower sea.
Chen Pangzi tremblingly approached Han Yunhai. "Brother Han, I spoke out of turn just now and fear I have offended Master Lu. Please put in a good word for me. As long as Master Lu isn't angry, I will silently give up ten percent of my shares!"
"Really?" Han Yunhai glanced at him. "You're known for being stingy. Why are you so generous today?"
"When you offend someone you shouldn't, you must pay the corresponding price," Chen Pangzi said with a wry smile.
The others also flattered Han Yunhai, harboring their own calculations. Han Yunhai, by gaining Lu Fan's favor, could soar to new heights. If Lu Fan could become their patron, they too would undoubtedly thrive.
Lin Ke was catching butterflies, with Xiao Qi chasing beside her. Lu Fan walked over. "You two came out to play and didn't call me!"
"Hmph, we specifically went to call you, but who knew you weren't in your room!" Xiao Qi rolled her eyes. "Where were you messing around? And you didn't even take us!"
Lin Ke also looked at Lu Fan earnestly. "Brother Lu Fan, ever since we arrived in Bailong Town, you've spent less time with us!"
"Ahem..."
Lu Fan looked embarrassed. After a while, he sat down by the flower sea, gazing at the starry sky while admiring the scenery.
By the next morning, everyone had left Bailong Town. The martial arts tournament had encountered several mishaps, but it was quite satisfying. They might not see such powerful martial artists in their lifetime.
Most importantly, the masked figure who appeared at the end had greatly astonished many ordinary people. His thunderous methods were unheard of and unseen.
This news spread throughout Jiangnan. A masked man had appeared in Jiangnan, possessing extraordinary strength, captivating many young women. Judging by his back, the masked man was quite young, yet his skills caused a sensation.
Some even wished to travel to Bailong Town specifically to find the masked man.
Sitting in the car, Han Yunhai respectfully said, "Mr. Lu, after this display, the Azure Dragon Sect finally has a foothold in Jiangnan. What are your plans next?"
"Manage the Azure Dragon Sect well. You should know that in this world, strength is paramount," Lu Fan stated directly. "Recruit more martial arts experts; they will be of great use in the future."
"Everything will be as Mr. Lu arranges!" Han Yunhai quickly nodded.
"Rest assured, recruiting martial arts experts will require significant funding, and I won't treat you poorly," Lu Fan said directly. "Soon, Taikang Pharmaceutical will become a top-tier enterprise in Jiangnan. By then, all of Jiangnan will be under our control!"
"Mr. Lu is right!" Han Yunhai's face lit up with excitement. "If this can be achieved, it would be wonderful. Following Mr. Lu, it seems I have great fortune."
Returning from Bailong Town, Lu Fan went directly to the company. Manager Chen had already made over a dozen calls, likely due to urgent matters.
Shortly after, Manager Chen entered Lu Fan's office with a document. "Mr. Lu, if this continues, Taikang Pharmaceutical might not be able to sustain itself. Without sufficient medicinal supplies, how can we meet sales targets?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Is the Yang family still controlling the medicinal materials market?"
"The Yang family has someone behind them, I'm afraid..." Manager Chen frowned. "The Zhao family of Xuzhou holds considerable status in Jiangnan. With their personal involvement, suppliers in Qingzhou will likely side with the Yang family!"
"No matter, I'll handle this matter!" Lu Fan smiled. "Isn't it just the Zhao family of Xuzhou?"
As soon as the words fell, a cold glint flashed in Lu Fan's eyes. During the Bailong Town incident, Old Master Zhao had been very deferential to him. Now, without even inquiring about the situation, they were coming after him. Lu Fan was naturally displeased.
Meanwhile, in a hotel in Qingzhou, Yang Ding Tian smiled. "Brother Zhao, why didn't you inform me when you came to Qingzhou personally? I could have come to pick you up!"
"I came to Qingzhou this time to visit someone," Old Master Zhao said. "If I can win this person's favor, our Zhao family will surely be able to enter the port industry!"
"When did Qingzhou have such a capable person?"
Yang Ding Tian was surprised. "I've been in Qingzhou for many years, but I've never heard of it."
"At the Bailong Town martial arts tournament, there was a Master Lu, whose martial arts skills were extraordinary. Even the Azure Dragon Sect followed his lead. You, as a force in Qingzhou, don't even know this!" Old Master Zhao shook his head.
Yang Ding Tian looked embarrassed. He was naturally unaware of the top circles, as he had been busy planning the acquisition of Taikang Pharmaceutical all these days.
"Brother Zhao, since you wish to meet Master Lu, why don't you take me!" Yang Ding Tian quickly said. "If I can get acquainted with him, the Yang family will also have a place in Qingzhou in the future."
"If you can be valued by Master Lu, your future will be boundless," Old Master Zhao narrowed his eyes. "Unfortunately, even I cannot curry favor with him, so you have even less hope!"
Yang Ding Tian looked embarrassed but said nothing more. What Old Master Zhao said was true. His Yang family had influence in Qingzhou, but how could it compare to the many magnates in Jiangnan?
After handling company matters, Lu Fan went directly to the Azure Dragon Sect, his expression cold.
"Mr. Lu, why have you come!" Han Yunhai hurried forward.
