Lu Fan waved his hand, "That would be for the best!"
Yun Bei dared not say more and left with the Yun family members.
Although deeply humiliated, he understood that it was not yet time for revenge. Given the strength Lu Fan had displayed, how could the Yun family suppress him without a Grandmaster?
"Many thanks for your great kindness, Mr. Lu!"
Old Man Han clasped his fists, filled with immense gratitude. If not for Lu Fan, the Han family of Jiangbei would have been humiliated and even lost all face today.
"Patriarch Han need not be so polite!" Lu Fan smiled, "Qiushui is my disciple. If the Han family is in trouble, how could I stand by idly!"
Han Qiushui stood to the side, a look of happiness on his face. Having such a protective master, he felt truly fortunate.
The other onlookers also respected Lu Fan and were inwardly pleased that he had severely taught the Yun family a lesson, venting their frustrations.
"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 any attacks as they come. If the Yun family seeks revenge, I will not stand by idly!" Lu Fan stated directly, "You need not worry too much."
"Today's events have already troubled Master. How can I dare to bother you again in the future!" Han Qiushui quickly shook his head, "Yun Bei will surely bring trouble back, Master must be careful from now on!"
"You worry too much!" Lu Fan chuckled lightly, "Even if a Grandmaster from the Yun family were here, I would still not fear them!"
Han Qiushui gave a wry smile and said nothing more. Lu Fan's strength was indeed formidable, perhaps even at the Grandmaster level, but he knew something else.
The Yun family of Jiangbei had two Grandmasters, and they were by no means an ordinary family. If those two Grandmasters came to Jiangnan, the Han family would be destroyed, and Lu Fan might not be able to resist them.
"It's getting late, I should be going back!"
Lu Fan smiled, "As for the Yun family, if they send anyone, just notify me!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Old Zhou quickly bowed, his heart filled with gratitude.
Patriarch Han stood to the side, looking somewhat awkward.
He knew Lu Fan was powerful, but this matter was no small affair, and he did not wish for Lu Fan to be involved.
At least in his eyes, this was the Han family's problem and had nothing to do with Lu Fan. That Lu Fan had intervened today was already more than enough for the Han family.
Watching Lu Fan's retreating figure, Han Qiushui 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 our only lifeline, won't the Han family be doomed!"
Patriarch Han trembled slightly, then said with resolve, "The Han family's time may be running out. After we return, distribute the family fortune!"
"Patriarch, you are..." Old Zhou was shocked, "We are all members of the Han family. We would rather die as ghosts of the Han family than live dishonorably!"
"We will never live dishonorably!"
The other experts of the Han family nodded in agreement. They had all received great kindness from Old Master Han. Now, in the Han family's time of great trouble, how could they easily leave?
Patriarch Han said no more and walked back towards the Han family with a dejected air. 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, in addition to Lin Yalan, was another man.
"Young Master, the investigation is complete. That brat named Lu has no background!" the bald man stated directly, "He's not well-known in Qingzhou either!"
"Did you investigate thoroughly?" Lin Yalan frowned. She didn't believe that an ordinary person could be treated with such respect by the dignified Han family.
"It is absolutely true!" the bald man said seriously, "Miss, if you don't believe me, you can send someone else to inquire!"
"I knew it, what capability could that brat have?" Lin Haitao said indignantly, "If I had known earlier, I would have taught him a good lesson!"
Lin Yalan said nothing more. She had already sent people to investigate, and it was not convenient for her to say more.
As they were talking, two figures approached. Lin Haitao also stood up abruptly, "You two have some nerve, daring to return to the Lin family?"
"I'm sending Lin Ke home. Is there anything wrong with that?" Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders. "It seems Young Master Lin has quite an opinion?"
"You embarrassed me in front of everyone, and you still have the nerve 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 wouldn't dare treat me like this. Young Master Lin should think carefully!"
"Hmph!" Lin Haitao snorted coldly, "Are you trying to threaten me with the Han family of Jiangbei? Don't think I don't know that you just used a trick to fool the Han family and made them obedient to you. If I reveal this to the Han family, you'll be nothing!"
"As you wish!"
Lu Fan smiled indifferently, "Lin Ke, you're safely home, so 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, filled with tenderness.
"Trying to leave?" Lin Haitao blocked Lu Fan, "You dared to embarrass me at the hotel, I'll kill you!"
Lu Fan's expression turned cold. He had no feelings for Lin Haitao.
"Stop!"
Lin Aotian strode over, "What's going on?"
"Uncle, Brother is just saying things out of anger!" Lin Yalan stepped forward, "Please don't misunderstand!"
"I have already decided to marry Lin Ke to Lu Fan!" Lin Aotian said coldly, "He will be a part of the Lin family from now on. I hope you all will behave yourselves!"
"Uncle, for him to want to associate with the Lin family?" Lin Haitao said displeasedly, "Old Madam probably won't agree!"
"I am Xiao Ke's biological father!" Lin Aotian said coldly, "If I see you trying to harm them again, don't blame me, your uncle, for not warning you!"
Lin Haitao was infuriated and turned to leave, his heart filled with boundless rage. He, the proud young master of the Lin family, could deal with someone with a mere flick of his wrist, yet he was repeatedly thwarted.
After Lin Haitao left, Lin Aotian looked at Lu Fan, "Stay away from him when you see him in the future, and don't bother with him!"
"Understood!" Lu Fan nodded, "Uncle, are what you just said true?"
Lin Aotian rolled his eyes, "Although you brat have no great skills, you are ultimately good to Lin Ke and your medical skills are not bad. It's just a bit difficult, but as long as Lin Ke likes you, I naturally won't object!"
"Thank you, Dad!" Lin Ke said with a look of satisfaction. She was quite happy that Lin Aotian's mindset had changed.
"Don't worry, Uncle. I will never disappoint you in the future!"
Lu Fan nodded, his heart 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, "In this life, I will only marry Brother Lu Fan!"
