"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!"
Old Master Han revealed his joy. In fact, he had been very worried just now. Once a war broke out with the Wuji Divine Sect, it would surely cause endless trouble.
Although the eighteen sects of Jiuzhou never feared any other forces, one thing was certain: once the eighteen sects of Jiuzhou took action, they would be isolated and helpless. It would even provoke attacks from other forces, as the eighteen sects of Jiuzhou had a very bad reputation in the Eastern Region. If they were to truly go to war with a super sect, they would definitely not fare well.
More importantly, the Wuji Divine Sect was different from other forces. The Sect Master of the Wuji Divine Sect was from an ancient aristocratic family. If they were to truly trouble the Wuji Divine Sect, it would undoubtedly be a great disaster for the entire eighteen sects of Jiuzhou.
"Grandpa Chen, have the culprits been found?" Xu Fei stepped forward and asked, his expression even more serious.
"Don't worry, with me here, they will naturally be found!"
Lu Fan smiled and said, "This culprit will naturally not escape justice."
"You mean, the killer has already..."
Xu Fei said eagerly, his eyes filled with joy, and his expression became even more serious.
"That's right, the killer has already been dealt with!"
Lu Fan nodded and said, "So you don't need to worry too much. Everything is perfect now, and there's no need to worry about anything else."
"This is too great, Grandpa Chen's heart knot is also untangled!" Sister Zhao said with a smile, her joy even more evident. She thought the matter had made no progress, but now it seemed that was not the case.
"If it weren't for Little Fan, this matter would never have been successful." Old Master Chen smiled, "It was indeed the Candle Dragon of the Wuji Divine Sect, but he is already dead within the Wuji Divine Sect."
"He's already dead?"
Everyone was startled, their eyes filled with emotion. They had not expected the situation to turn out this way, which caught them off guard.
"Candle Dragon died in the Wuji Divine Sect?"
Old Master Han spoke with a touch of emotion in his eyes, "What exactly is going on? According to the Wuji Divine Sect's way of handling things, they would never easily lay a hand on their elders."
"Although the Wuji Divine Sect wouldn't, I wouldn't indulge them."
Lu Fan showed a faint smile, his expression appearing even more indifferent, as if all of this was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
Upon hearing Lu Fan's words, Old Master Han was startled, "You mean to say, you killed Elder Candle Dragon in front of the Wuji Sect Master?"
"Indeed!"
Old Master Chen nodded and said, "Little Lu is indeed a bit reckless, but I greatly admire him. To be able to do such a thing within the Wuji Divine Sect, even I don't have the guts for it."
"Now that the matter is finally resolved, we don't have to worry anymore," Lu Fan said with a smile. "Let's go back and celebrate. This is a big event after all!"
"I've already asked people to prepare a banquet!" Xu Fei said, "When we return victorious, we can have a grand feast!"
Xu Fei smiled, then said to everyone, his eyes filled with joy. This should be the best outcome for the eighteen sects of Jiuzhou, which was why he was so excited.
Upon returning to the eighteen sects of Jiuzhou, Lu Fan went to Chen Xian'er's grave. Old Master Chen stood beside him and said, "Xian'er, Little Fan has avenged you. Rest in peace. If there is an afterlife, I will still be your grandfather!"
Everyone stood by, the atmosphere seemed a bit somber. Old Master Chen, with his white hair, was sending off a younger generation, which was inevitably touching.
When night fell, everyone drank and celebrated. Food and wine were served throughout the eighteen sects of Jiuzhou, and everyone was talking joyfully. The younger generation sat at one table, and the older generation at another.
However, due to Lu Fan's special status, he sat with the sect leaders, appearing somewhat out of place.
"Little Lu, you have avenged my eighteen sects of Jiuzhou. I toast you with this cup!" Old Master Han said with a smile, raising a cup of wine.
"Grandpa Han, there's no need for that. This is what I should do!" Lu Fan shook his head and said, "I only hope Grandpa Chen will not be so sad."
"You are such a filial child!"
Old Master Zhao chuckled, "I think highly of you. Why don't you become my grandson-in-law? As long as you become my grandson-in-law, I will definitely support you in everything from now on!"
Sister Zhao, who was at another table, blushed upon hearing this. She clearly did not expect her grandfather to be so shameless. She had never seen him like this before.
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhao, but I don't want to think about such things yet," Lu Fan said with an awkward smile.
"If you think about it, don't even bother. Don't think I don't know you look down on my Sister Zhao, otherwise, why would you say that!" Old Master Zhao said with a faint smile.
"Please don't say that, I'm not that kind of person," Lu Fan shook his head and said, "Sister Zhao is kind, and when I first arrived at the eighteen sects of Jiuzhou, if it weren't for Sister Zhao's help, I would have been in trouble long ago."
"Let's not talk about the past. Let's drink this cup together!"
The other elders raised their wine glasses, their faces beaming with smiles. They were extremely pleased with the outcome.
At the same time, Xu Fei also smiled at the younger generation's table and said, "Are there any of you who are interested in Brother Lu? If so, I can help pass on a message, as his status is extraordinary now. If anyone can marry Brother Lu, they will surely have great fortune in the future."
The young women at the table stirred. They were well aware of what it meant to marry Lu Fan, but they also knew that Lu Fan's requirements for a partner were extremely high. His previous engagement to Chen Xian'er had also made many people envious.
"Brother Lu, do you see? So many people want to marry you. Why don't you choose one of them? This way, you will also be considered one of the eighteen sects of Jiuzhou, and we will be brothers!" Xu Fei said with a laugh.
"You young brat, don't talk nonsense!"
Old Master Zhao spoke, "He is now the leader of the Assassin Dynasty's branch. His status is very noble, how could he fancy the girls of the eighteen sects of Jiuzhou!"
"Grandpa Zhao, please don't say that, you're belittling me!" Lu Fan quickly shook his head, his expression filled with helplessness. He clearly did not expect Old Master Zhao to say that, and it caught him off guard.
"I'm telling the truth. If you fancy any of them, you can pick whichever one you like!" Old Master Zhao said solemnly.
The many women also looked at Lu Fan with hopeful eyes. If Lu Fan truly fancied them, they would definitely go all out.
Lu Fan was stunned, not knowing how to respond. He felt helpless. Old Master Zhao's words had forced his hand, but he had no such intentions. Naturally, he could not say more, lest it cause displeasure.
