"Where did this impudent brat come from, so unafraid of death!" Old Man Shen glared at Lu Fan.
"Mr. Lu, this matter has nothing to do with you!" Jiang Meili spoke out, "You guys should leave. This is a matter of my Jiang family!"
"I didn't want to interfere, but for a Grandmaster to be so despicable and shameless, it's a disgrace to martial arts!" Lu Fan shrugged, "Coming to Beihai again has truly opened my eyes."
"You ignorant brat, how dare you comment on me here?"
Old Man Shen was furious and was about to attack Lu Fan. How could a dignified Grandmaster tolerate such words from Lu Fan? What would his reputation be if he did?
Seeing the scene before him, Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, appearing nonchalant, as if he held no fear of Grandmasters in his eyes.
"Old Man Shen, he is my friend!" Jiang Meili reminded him, "If you want me to marry you, you cannot touch them!"
"So Miss Jiang agrees?" Old Man Shen's face lit up instantly, "If that's the case, I can leave now and return in three days to marry you!"
"Is there any other way besides this?"
Jiang Meili gave a wry smile, "As long as you don't make things difficult for my clansmen, I can marry you, but you must promise me that you will not harm any member of the Jiang family!"
"A Grandmaster's word is his bond!" Old Man Shen, beaming with joy, left with many experts from the Shen family. They would return in three days to marry her, without any delay.
After they left, the head of the Jiang family said, "Silly girl, why did you put yourself through this? Old Man Shen is not a good person. Isn't this like a lamb walking into a tiger's den!"
"Dad, please don't say any more!" Jiang Meili stepped forward to support him, "You are still injured and cannot exert yourself!"
Several great-uncles had pale faces. They were helpless. To protect the lives of the Jiang family members now, it seemed only Jiang Meili's marriage would suffice. However, if Jiang Meili refused, they would defend the Jiang family's dignity even unto death.
"Who are these people?"
The head of the Jiang family looked at Lu Fan and the other person, his face showing even more surprise.
"They are my friends!" Jiang Meili quickly replied, "I originally brought them to Beihai to spend a few days, but it seems there's no opportunity now!"
"So that's how it is!" The head of the Jiang family nodded and cupped his fists towards Lu Fan, "Young brother, you truly have courage to speak so frankly, showing no fear even in the presence of a Grandmaster!"
"Grandmasters are not terrifying!" Lu Fan smiled, "Moreover, that person is morally corrupt. Even as a Grandmaster, he is merely a degenerate among men!"
"Well said!" The head of the Jiang family repeatedly nodded, but suddenly, a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, making his face even paler.
"Dad!"
Jiang Meili cried out, never expecting her father's injuries to be so severe.
"Hurry and help him to his room!" several great-uncles quickly said. They were quite aware of the family head's injuries.
After being helped to his room, the head of the Jiang family's face remained pale. Even with the chief physician attending to him, there was no improvement. He had been suffering from internal injuries for days, which had triggered a serious illness.
"Xiao Fan, don't you know medicine? Why don't you take a look!"
Lin Ke spoke out, her expression becoming more serious.
Jiang Meili also turned her gaze to Lu Fan, "You know medicine?"
"Actually, this has nothing to do with medicine. The head of the Jiang family is not ill, but has suffered a severe blow and has blood stasis within his body." Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "He only needs to take a few pills and recuperate for a few days to recover!"
"Recover in a few days?" Several great-uncles looked at Lu Fan, full of disbelief.
The chief physician had been meticulously caring for him these past few days, yet the head of the Jiang family's condition showed no improvement, which was why they were being bullied by the Shen family. Su Dan Novel Network
"If that's the case, please, Mr. Lu, take a look." Jiang Meili spoke again, with a hint of probing in her tone.
If Lu Fan could cure the head of the Jiang family, the Jiang family would not have to live under the mercy of others and act according to the Shen family's whims.
Lu Fan said no more. He approached the head of the Jiang family and pressed a few acupoints on his body. At the same time, he took out silver needles. After a long while, the head of the Jiang family felt the blood stasis within his body gradually being expelled, and his complexion improved considerably.
The many great-uncles of the Jiang family were astonished. They had not expected Lu Fan to have such skills, something that many renowned physicians could not achieve.
"The blood stasis has been removed!" Lu Fan took out a few pills, "Take these pills, and you will be able to return to normal tomorrow!"
The head of the Jiang family nodded slightly, his face filled with gratitude. He was very grateful for Lu Fan's help in regulating his body. After Lu Fan's operation, he gradually felt relieved.
After taking the pills, the head of the Jiang family ordered some gifts to be brought, "Mr. Lu, these are just small trinkets. If you fancy anything, feel free to take it. My Jiang family is not short of these!"
"There's no need for that!" Lu Fan waved his hand, "Miss Jiang and I are friends. It was just a small gesture!"
The head of the Jiang family looked a bit awkward and didn't say much more. However, after taking the pills, he could clearly feel their efficacy, which made him marvel. Lu Fan's pills seemed extraordinary.
In fact, he did not know that Lu Fan's pills came from a great origin. They were refined using spiritual herbs from the outer battlefield and possessed immense efficacy. Let alone these trinkets, even peerless treasures might not be enough to exchange for these pills.
This was beyond doubt.
"Meili, are you really marrying in three days?" Lin Ke stepped forward and said, feeling inexplicably melancholic.
"The Shen family has many Grandmasters and considerable influence in Beihai!" Jiang Meili said with a bitter smile, "I'm afraid this is the only way!"
"Meili, don't worry. My injuries will soon recover. I will fight him to the death then and will never let Old Man Shen marry you!" the head of the Jiang family declared.
"It's useless. The Shen family has many Grandmaster experts. If we clash with them, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us!" Jiang Meili said repeatedly, "I only hope you can recover, Dad! As for other matters, let your daughter bear them alone!"
"Let's not talk about sad things!" the third great-uncle interjected, "We have distinguished guests today, and we must not be negligent!"
Just then, the third great-uncle's voice rang out, and he looked towards Lu Fan with utmost respect.
"That's right!" the head of the Jiang family nodded, "Quickly prepare wine and food at the Men Gate. Tonight, I will host Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu has cured my illness, so how can the Jiang family not show proper respect!"
Jiang Meili nodded slightly and quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare wine and food. She had not been home for a long time, and now that Lu Fan and the others were here, it was a night for drinking and merrymaking.
"Old Third, this doesn't seem like your usual character!" the first great-uncle remarked, "You, who have always been aloof, wouldn't flatter a junior like this! What's going on?"
"Big Brother, please don't ask!" the third great-uncle said, "Mr. Lu has cured the family head, so it is only right to treat him with courtesy!"
