Lu Fan nodded in satisfaction and slowly retracted the White Lotus Sacred Fire. He had done so to warn them, hoping to deter any aggressive moves.
Lu Fan did not need to unleash the White Lotus Sacred Fire to defeat Lin Ziying, but to awe the Lin family patriarch and prevent the Lin family from making rash decisions, he had no choice but to reveal it.
"Ziying, are you alright!" the Lin family patriarch asked anxiously, his expression turning solemn.
"I'm fine!" Lin Ziying shook his head. "But he is indeed terrifying. What exactly is in his hand that makes people so apprehensive!"
"That is Sacred Fire, not an ordinary item!"
The Lin family patriarch stated frankly, "Even I might not be able to capture him."
"Is his strength really that great!" Lin Ziying's expression changed. As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she had always been pampered and arrogant, never looking down on anyone. Now, there was someone among the younger generation who could rival him, causing her expression to shift instantly.
The Lin family patriarch did not answer but looked at Lu Fan. "I am very curious, where did you get this Sacred Fire? To control Sacred Fire at such a young age, and with such formidable strength."
"A nobody, not worth mentioning!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "But now that things have come to this, I hope the Lin family patriarch will keep your promise!"
"My Lin family will naturally keep our word. We lost, so we lost." The Lin family patriarch nodded.
"Thank you, then!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face. Now that he had resolved a problem for the Han family, he felt much more at ease.
"Young man, I can see that you are no ordinary person, and your age is quite similar to my daughter's."
The Lin family patriarch smiled. "Do you two have any interest in each other?"
"What do you mean by that, Lin family patriarch?"
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback, his face showing a hint of awkwardness. He had not expected the Lin family patriarch to speak in such a manner, catching him completely off guard.
"Ziying is incomparable in both appearance and talent."
The Lin family patriarch chuckled. "I am quite satisfied with you. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could become the son-in-law of my Lin family."
The Han family members stood aside, feeling somewhat awkward. The Lin family had been on the verge of conflict moments ago, wanting Lu Fan to pay a price, and now they were talking about taking Lu Fan into the Lin family.
"Thank you for your kind offer."
Lu Fan waved his hand. "However, matters of marriage require mutual affection. Forcing it blindly is meaningless."
"Old Man, I haven't even said I agree yet!"
Lin Ziying spoke up. "How can you make decisions for me without my consent? I don't think highly of someone like him!"
Lin Ziying's words were haughty.
Lu Fan remained unfazed and did not care.
The Lin family patriarch coughed a few times but did not say much more.
He was very optimistic about Lu Fan's strength, but based on Lu Fan's earlier words, he probably had no interest in Lin Ziying.
"Han family patriarch, your Han family has met a noble person this time!"
The Lin family patriarch said with a smile, then led the Lin family members away. Since they had lost, they would not linger any longer.
After the Lin family members departed, the Han family patriarch looked at Lu Fan. "Young brother Lu, please accept my bow!"
Saying that, the Han family patriarch was about to kneel, but Lu Fan stopped him. "Why would Han family patriarch do this? I am friends with Han Feng, it was just a small favor!"
"Sect Master, I will remember this great kindness today!"
Han Feng clasped his fists. "If there is ever a need in the future, I will spare no effort!"
"No need for that!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "Now that the Han family's matters are resolved, it seems it's time for me to leave!"
"Where is the Sect Master planning to go?"
Han Feng said repeatedly, "The people from the Eighth Prince's Mansion are still looking for you, and your situation is extremely perilous!"
"The Eighth Prince's Mansion annihilated the entire Beihai Academy. I must make them pay the price!"
Lu Fan's eyes held a cold glint. Many of his friends were in Beihai Academy, and it was also his former place of cultivation. Now that everyone had perished, and this matter was related to him, how could Lu Fan accept it.
"The Eighth Prince's Mansion is powerful. If you try to oppose them, you will surely die without a burial place!"
Han Feng said repeatedly, "Sect Master, you must think twice. If you keep the green hills, you'll never worry about firewood."
"Thank you for the reminder, but the Eighth Prince's Mansion is heartless. After committing such atrocities, I will make them pay the price!"
Lu Fan said, then left resolutely. The Eighth Prince's Mansion killing everyone in Beihai Academy had cast a shadow in Lu Fan's heart. If he were to evade this now, it would greatly hinder his future cultivation.
"Brat, don't act rashly!"
Hong Meng, the old man, spoke. "With your current strength, wanting to deal with the Eighth Prince's Mansion is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
"Everyone in Beihai Academy died because of me. I must avenge them!"
Lu Fan's expression was cold and determined. What he intended to do, he would not easily give up.
"I will not obstruct your choice, but you must be clear that with your current strength, you cannot possibly achieve revenge!" Hong Meng's voice was heavy.
Lu Fan felt helpless and unsure of what to do, even feeling agitated.
"If you can find other Sacred Fires and merge them to improve your strength, perhaps you will be able to deal with the Eighth Prince's Mansion soon!" Hong Meng's voice rang out again.
"Sacred Fire?"
Lu Fan's eyes flickered. "How can that be easy? Even the White Lotus Sacred Fire, ranked thirty-eighth, was obtained by chance!"
"I, this old man, have traveled the Spiritual Realm and heard that in the Sky Fire Pavilion, there is a Green Lotus Sacred Fire. If you can merge it, your strength might increase further!" Su Dan Novel Network.
"Green Lotus Sacred Fire?"
Lu Fan was slightly surprised. "The Green Lotus Sacred Fire, ranked thirty-seventh on the Sacred Fire List?"
"That's right. As long as you can absorb the Green Lotus Sacred Fire, your strength will definitely soar!"
Hong Meng nodded. "At that time, dealing with the Eighth Prince's Mansion will not be difficult!"
"Then where is this Sky Fire Pavilion located?" Lu Fan asked in surprise.
"It's to the north of the White Dragon Dynasty!"
Hong Meng stated frankly, "However, the Sky Fire Pavilion is filled with experts. It might not be so easy for you to obtain the Green Lotus Sacred Fire!"
"No matter how dangerous, I must go!"
Lu Fan's expression was solemn. He had been constantly thinking about the deaths of the Beihai Academy members. If he couldn't make them pay the price, how could Lu Fan give up.
Just then, Long Yi and Han Feng approached. "We'll go with you. Dealing with the Eighth Prince's Mansion is not a matter for you alone!"
"I've changed my mind!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "Without sufficient strength, going to the Eighth Prince's Mansion would be seeking death. You two should stay in Han City and gather the disciples who managed to escape. When I return after achieving great success, we will seek revenge from the Eighth Prince's Mansion!"
"I had the same intention!"
Han Feng nodded, his expression becoming even more solemn. This way, they would have an opportunity to regroup.
"Then where are you planning to go?"
Long Yi looked at Lu Fan, even more surprised.
