"Alas! The Xue family wants to destroy me, it seems I have to give them some time to prepare!" Lu Fan said with a slight shake of his head.
"Little brother! Do you have a fever? They want to destroy you, and you're giving them time to prepare?" Hong Xiaojiao, standing beside him, reached out to touch Lu Fan's forehead and said foolishly.
"Let's go." Lu Fan turned and walked away.
Hong Xiaojiao hurried to follow.
...
The Xue family, in the span of a day, saw dozens of large and small carriages return. There were nearly fifty Grandmasters, and hundreds of guards.
The Xue family had not been this tense in a hundred years. Even so, Xue Zhendong had an ominous premonition, and he regretted his decision at this moment. A Recruitment Envoy! That was a legend!
In a small side courtyard at the very back of the Xue family mansion, Xue Zhendong knelt before a white-haired old man: "Old Ancestor! Please decide this matter!"
"Alas! For decades, the Xue family ancestor only sent back this one message. I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and presumptuous. Not only did you refuse to pay, but you also wanted to kill the Recruitment Envoy... Who gave you such audacity!" the Xue family ancestor said angrily.
"My fourth brother acted on his own and caused this great disaster! Old Ancestor! Can't even you intervene...?" Xue Zhendong, breaking out in a cold sweat, said urgently.
"Hmph! You angered him, do you think he would still give me face?
Moreover! Even if you wanted to resolve this peacefully, it's probably no longer possible! The Recruitment Envoy is a legendary existence, a legendary existence... legendary..." The Xue family ancestor's gaze suddenly flickered.
"Then... what should we do?" Xue Zhendong asked, his face filled with panic.
"At that time... I'm afraid there will only be this way!" the Xue family ancestor suddenly said.
...
A car slowly drove to the entrance of the Xue family mansion. Lu Fan and Hong Xiaojiao stepped out of the car. The two glanced at the open gate and then at each other.
"Xiaojiao! If you're scared, you don't have to go in," Lu Fan said with a slight smile.
"I'm scared! But... I still want to go in!" Hong Xiaojiao said, her pretty face blushing.
Standing at the entrance, one could feel the killing intent emanating from the courtyard. As a young girl who had just entered the martial world, she was indeed a little afraid. However, her competitive spirit made her unable to resist wanting to go in and see. Moreover, she suddenly felt a sense of worry for Lu Fan.
"Then let's go!" Lu Fan smiled faintly and strode into the Xue family mansion. Hong Xiaojiao quickly followed.
Just as the two had walked a few steps inside the gate, with a bang... the gate behind them suddenly closed. With a whoosh... nearly a hundred people rushed out from the surroundings, surrounding the two.
"Recruitment Envoy! Did you drive my fourth brother insane?" Xue Zhennan pointed at Lu Fan and roared, gritting his teeth.
"This is just a warning! Those who want to kill me will not have a good end!" Lu Fan said calmly.
"Hmph! Just the two of you? Even if you had three heads and six arms, you won't leave here alive today. Kill them!" Xue Zhenxi, standing beside them, seemed to be hot-tempered and disliked wasting words. He shouted directly.
With a whoosh... the surrounding people immediately charged towards Lu Fan and Hong Xiaojiao.
Hong Xiaojiao was startled and quickly prepared herself for a fight.
"A martial arts family, raising so many guard dogs! Without guessing, you must have done a lot of bad deeds. You're being extra vigilant because you have a guilty conscience. However, when you do too many bad things, even ghosts will come knocking on your door." Lu Fan stood there without moving. He just said calmly.
As soon as Lu Fan finished speaking, with a bang... the courtyard gate that had just been closed suddenly collapsed with a roar. Bang, bang, bang... three zombie gu jumped in from outside.
Damn it... The people who had just rushed towards Lu Fan and Hong Xiaojiao were immediately covered in goosebumps. They didn't bother to kill Lu Fan and instead retreated.
In broad daylight, who the hell brought three zombies here? No matter how high one's martial arts skill, this was too terrifying.
"Hey! This is your Xue family's self-inflicted misfortune, suffering the consequences! It has nothing to do with me!" Lu Fan chuckled, reached out, and pulled the stunned Hong Xiaojiao to the side to dodge.
Hong Xiaojiao was so scared she didn't know how to walk. This was the first time in her life she had seen a ghost... she had truly seen a ghost!
"Hey! Don't pee yourself from fright! I didn't bring any diapers!" Lu Fan patted Hong Xiaojiao's little face and shouted.
With a whoosh... Hong Xiaojiao finally came to her senses. Nervously, she grabbed Lu Fan's hand: "Little brother! What... what's going on? Why are we seeing ghosts in broad daylight?"
"It must be because the Xue family has done too many bad deeds and is now facing retribution! It has nothing to do with us, we're just here to watch the show." Lu Fan looked at a stone table and stone stools nearby, pulled Hong Xiaojiao over, and sat down to calmly watch the spectacle.
"Attack... attack them! Chop these three things into pieces!" Xue Zhenxi and Xue Zhennan were also somewhat out of their wits from fear, but they shouted with forced courage.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... The hundred people around them charged towards the three zombie gu. Their weapons were used without any fancy moves, directly hacking and slashing, wanting to kill these three things quickly. They were too terrifying.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
The three zombie gu, having been soaked in Lu Fan's medicinal water, had skin that could resist ordinary blades and spears. Therefore, they were not afraid of these people's attacks at all. Moreover, these three zombies possessed formidable skills, and those who got close were quickly beaten and sent rolling away.
Inside the rooms of the courtyard, the Xue family ancestor and Xue Zhendong were also shocked. They had originally wanted to witness the Recruitment Envoy's skills, but they didn't expect these three things to jump out. Furthermore, these three things were so powerful that even those dozens of Grandmasters could not deal with them.
Looking at the Recruitment Envoy and the little girl beside them, sitting there as if nothing had happened, even taking out peanuts and Wuliangye... You're eating peanuts and drinking Wuliangye?? Are those things of the same caliber?
"No! This... this isn't a zombie, it's a zombie gu! It's said to be something only found in the Miao territory! Very difficult to deal with! Could it be..." The Xue family ancestor's mouth twitched violently, and his gaze fell upon Lu Fan. Does this kid actually have such abilities?
"Zombie gu? Then... how should we deal with it?" Xue Zhendong was also startled. He had only heard of zombie gu and had never actually seen one. He didn't expect it to be so powerful.
"Alas! Without being able to test the young man's strength, it's truly difficult for us to make a decision." The Xue family ancestor shook his head. He couldn't figure out Lu Fan's true strength. Even if he were a Qi realm master, he wouldn't feel confident, especially given how legendary the name Recruitment Envoy was.
"Old Ancestor! The casualties among the men below are heavy, should we still wait?" Xue Zhendong asked anxiously from the side.
"Hmph! They're just a bunch of dogs raised by the Xue family. If they die, they die! A bunch of good-for-nothings! Go and use money to send the Recruitment Envoy away!" the Xue family ancestor said with a cold snort.
