Gui Ying rolled his eyes, finding Mu Dan's words to be utter nonsense. He refused to believe her.
"Stop talking so much for now. Take him back. He absolutely cannot die!" Jian Bei said repeatedly, appearing to be quite concerned.
Many assassins nearby were surprised. This was a King-level assassin, someone who never cared about others, even killing as easily as slicing vegetables. Yet, he was now showing such concern for Lu Fan, which moved them.
Bai Mian Shu Sheng stood not far away, observing all of this clearly. He gnashed his teeth in anger. Lu Fan's appearance seemed to pose a significant threat to him.
Seeing this scene, the old village chief instantly smiled. Jian Bei's attitude was enough to show that he already regarded Lu Fan as his own flesh and blood. It was likely that in a short time, Lu Fan's status in Lion Peak would surpass everyone else's, and he might even become the branch master of a killer dynasty branch. However, this was something for the near future.
Returning to the main hall, Lu Fan was directly taken to a room within the hall to recuperate quietly. Jian Bei personally tended to his injuries, bringing out the best healing sacred medicine.
As for the others, they all waited in the main hall, not daring to overstep. They were also somewhat touched, as they had never seen anyone else allowed to rest in the main hall's rooms. These were the branch master's rooms, and no one else had such qualifications.
"It seems this kid has a boundless future!" Gui Ying shrugged and said, "We three have been Master's disciples for so long, yet we've never enjoyed such treatment. This kid hasn't even been officially taken as a disciple, and he's already receiving so much favor."
"It's only temporary. Who knows how long it will last," Bai Mian Shu Sheng chuckled and said. "Besides, being struck by the lightning tribulation like this, he might have already become a cripple. If that's the case, Master won't show any mercy!"
"I think you're just jealous!" Mu Dan shrugged. "No matter what, you are Master's eldest disciple. Why be so envious!"
"Junior Sister Mu Dan, you should be careful with your words. While I don't want to argue with you, you should know you are no match for me. If we were to truly fight, perhaps one day I could silently resolve you!" Bai Mian Shu Sheng said coldly.
"Senior Brother, why the threat? If I were to tell Master everything you just said, you'd be in deep trouble," Gui Ying said calmly.
Bai Mian Shu Sheng said no more. Within the entire Killer Dynasty, there was no need for so much talk. It was all about strength. Without strength, one had no confidence anywhere.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Jian Bei's complexion appeared somewhat pale after healing Lu Fan. If he hadn't intervened in time, Lu Fan would truly have been in mortal danger. However, he was now out of danger.
Stepping out of the room, Jian Bei let out a long sigh of relief.
"How is Master?" Gui Ying stepped forward and asked. "Has this kid's life been saved?"
"With my personal intervention, how could anything go wrong!"
Jian Bei waved his hand and then looked at Mu Dan. "I'll leave him in your care. Make sure you take good care of him and don't let anything happen to him!"
"Master, rest assured, I will not let anything happen to him!" Mu Dan nodded slightly, showing her delight.
Jian Bei nodded slightly and said no more. He was quite exhausted and needed rest. However, being able to save Lu Fan's life brought him great joy.
The Killer Dynasty would surely produce a peerless figure in the future. The Ancient Families had their great princes, and the Holy Lands had their numerous Holy Sons. Their Killer Dynasty also needed a younger generation to hold its ground.
Jian Bei had been searching for many years and had finally found a peerless prodigy, a true peerless prodigy who would not lose to those Holy Sons. He was very certain of this.
After Jian Bei left, Mu Dan went into the room and looked at Lu Fan's figure with satisfaction. Now that Lu Fan was safe, she no longer had to worry.
"I really didn't expect Master to assign such a good task to you!" Gui Ying teased. "When he wakes up, he'll think you saved him and be eternally grateful. Maybe he'll even marry you!"
"Stop talking nonsense here and get out quickly!" Mu Dan said coldly. "Master just said I'm to ensure his safety. Without my permission, no one is allowed in."
"So ungrateful! I'm speaking up for you, and you're taking your temper out on me!" Gui Ying rolled his eyes and turned to leave.
Lu Fan was now safe, and there was no need for them to stay. Moreover, with Mu Dan taking care of him, there wouldn't be any problems.
The old village chief glanced around and also left the palace. Lu Fan being safe was the best outcome. Only with Lu Fan safe could his granddaughter Ling'er gradually grow at the Tao family.
The reason he helped Lu Fan so much was naturally for Ling'er. Otherwise, he wouldn't have worked so hard and navigated the Killer Dynasty.
After Gui Ying left the main hall, he prepared to return to his residence, only to find Bai Mian Shu Sheng waiting for a long time.
"What, looking for me for something?" Gui Ying said casually. "Judging by your expression, it's nothing good!"
"You should know how great a threat that kid will be if he wakes up," Bai Mian Shu Sheng said directly. "Then, we probably won't be able to catch Master's eye, and becoming a branch master will be unlikely."
"Who said I want to become a branch master?"
Gui Ying said casually, "I've never had such an idea. Don't talk nonsense here. If Master hears about it, he won't be happy."
"Do you need to pretend in front of me?" Bai Mian Shu Sheng frowned. "I'm telling the truth!"
"Then what do you want? To kill that kid?" Gui Ying smiled faintly. "You probably don't have the guts. If Master finds out, you won't even have your life."
"This is why I came to find you. We can make sure that kid never wakes up, and as long as we cooperate well, Master won't be able to discover it," Bai Mian Shu Sheng said directly. "I just don't know if you have the guts?"
"I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm most afraid of losing all conscience," Gui Ying smiled faintly. "We are ultimately not on the same path."
"As assassins of the Killer Dynasty, who knows how many people's blood we have on our hands, yet you talk about losing conscience!" Bai Mian Shu Sheng sneered instantly. "Isn't this self-deception?"
"I've already said, I don't wish to associate with you!" Gui Ying said coldly. "I hope you can respect yourself and not seek your own demise!"
