"I am not dwelling on yesterday's matters!" Lu Fan stated directly, "But since you are here, is there something you need?"
"These are paintings and calligraphy collected by the Han family for many years!" Old Man Han stepped forward, "As well as millennium ginseng, and some tonics!"
"One does not receive favors without merit. Old Master Han, this is perhaps not appropriate!" Lu Fan chuckled.
"Mr. Lu, this is just a small token of appreciation from the Han family. We hope Mr. Lu will accept it!" Han Qiushui said awkwardly, "I was rash yesterday and offended Mr. Lu!"
As they were talking, Granny Guihua walked out of the living room, smiling, "Xiao Fan, do we have guests at home?"
"Grandma!" Lu Fan stood up, "Just some friends I've recently met!"
"Hello, Grandma!" Han Qiushui said repeatedly, her words laced with flattery.
She, the esteemed eldest daughter of the Han family of Jiangbei, had always been accustomed to a life of luxury and had never been so humble. However, she knew that the elder before her was very important to Lu Fan.
"Since they are friends, please stay for dinner!" Granny Guihua said politely, "There are still plenty of dishes in the kitchen!"
"This..."
Old Man Han looked at Lu Fan. Without Lu Fan's permission, how could he dare to agree? If he displeased Lu Fan, the Han family would be in trouble.
"Since Grandma has said so, you may stay!" Lu Fan nodded.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Old Man Han quickly cupped his fists. Lu Fan allowing them to stay for dinner was a good start. At least Lu Fan no longer held any hostility towards them.
Han Qiushui was also very well-behaved, helping in the kitchen.
Old Man Han sat beside Lu Fan and asked, "Mr. Lu, seeing your actions yesterday, you must be a Grandmaster!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fan suddenly looked at Old Man Han, "Does being a Grandmaster matter?"
"Of course not!" Old Man Han quickly shook his head, "This old man is merely impressed and has no other intentions!"
"It's fine!" Lu Fan waved his hand, "You don't seem like bad people, but it's best not to inquire about things that shouldn't be inquired about!"
Old Man Han nodded repeatedly, but he was sweating cold sweat. Lu Fan was no ordinary person, so he had to speak with caution.
After a long while, the dishes were ready. Han Qiushui sat beside Old Man Han, appearing quite obedient, a stark contrast to her petulant demeanor yesterday.
"Mr. Lu, this osmanthus wine is brewed by the Han family, absolutely authentic!" Old Man Han chuckled, "I wonder if it suits Mr. Lu's taste!"
"It is indeed good!" Lu Fan sighed after tasting it, "The craftsmanship to brew such wine is truly remarkable."
"If Mr. Lu likes it, I'll have someone send over a few bottles now!" Han Qiushui said quickly.
"He who offers unsolicited favors is either a thief or a traitor!" Lu Fan glanced at them, "Do you have something you need to ask?"
"To be frank, this old man does indeed have something to request!" Old Man Han stood up and cupped his fists.
"You can speak directly about whatever it is!" Lu Fan waved his hand, "This osmanthus wine is indeed excellent!"
"My Han family is a martial arts family, but unfortunately, our lineage is thin. Now, only my granddaughter remains!" Old Man Han said with a wry smile, "I wish to ask Mr. Lu to take her as a disciple!"
"Take a disciple?" Lu Fan frowned slightly, "I'm used to being alone and don't like taking disciples!"
"We implore you, Mr. Lu!"
Old Man Han bowed, showing even more deference. He was the head of the Han family of Jiangbei, and normally, no one could make him act like this.
Lu Fan frowned, and Han Qiushui beside him was also at a loss. The reason Old Man Han was acting this way was to give Han Qiushui an extra life-saving charm.
In a martial arts family, if it gradually declined, it would inevitably attract the covetous eyes of martial arts experts. Old Man Han knew this better than anyone.
"I don't want to take disciples, but since Old Man Han is so sincere, I can't refuse!" Lu Fan shrugged, "From now on, consider her my apprentice disciple!"
"Quickly pay your respects to your master!" Old Man Han said repeatedly, his face beaming with joy.
Han Qiushui quickly knelt and performed the kowtow: "Greetings, Master!"
"From now on, you can still call me Mr. Lu!" Lu Fan waved his hand, "If it weren't for Old Man Han's insistence, I wouldn't easily take disciples!"
"Master, rest assured, I will never disappoint you in the future!" Han Qiushui cupped his fists again.
Lu Fan waved his hand, not taking it to heart.
After dinner, Han Qiushui smiled, "Tomorrow is my birthday. I wonder if Master has time to attend?"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes, "Since I've taken you as an apprentice disciple, of course, I will attend your birthday!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Han Qiushui was overjoyed. The Han family had considerable fame in Jiangbei. Now that Lu Fan had agreed to attend his birthday banquet, he could perform the ceremony of discipleship in front of everyone.
"Mr. Lu, your display yesterday was astonishing. This old man wishes to spar a few moves with you," Old Man Han said with a smile.
"Old man, feel free!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "If you can touch me, then I lose!"
"In that case, please forgive my offense!"
Old Man Han stepped forward, pointing a single finger towards Lu Fan. He was a half-step Grandmaster, known as the foremost expert in Jiangbei, and his reputation was not undeserved.
Sensing the surging gust of wind, Lu Fan paused slightly. Subtle energy surged from his feet. Before Old Man Han could get close, he felt a terrifying aura, causing him to retreat several steps, his white hair dancing in the wind.
Han Qiushui watched, inwardly shocked. The techniques Lu Fan displayed were simply beyond human reach.
"Not only can you release subtle energy, but you can also mobilize the power of heaven and earth!"
Old Man Han steadied himself, "Mr. Lu, are you perhaps a legendary Martial Dao Great Master!" Su Dan Novel Network
"It's just a few moves, not worth mentioning!"
Lu Fan said humbly, "Come, let's continue drinking!"
Old Man Han nodded. Although he was shocked internally, since Lu Fan didn't say more, he naturally wouldn't inquire further.
As they were leaving, Han Qiushui asked, "Grandfather, what is a Martial Dao Great Master? Why have I never heard of it before?"
"A Martial Dao Grandmaster is already an extraordinary person who can release subtle energy!" Old Man Han said meaningfully, "As for a Martial Dao Great Master, they are legendary figures with the power to destroy heaven and earth. If Mr. Lu is truly a Martial Dao Great Master, then my Han family will surely flourish!"
Han Qiushui stood by, listening quietly, his heart filled with shock.
In his past memories, the strongest was the Martial Dao Grandmaster realm. Now, he learned that above Martial Dao Grandmasters, there were actually Martial Dao Great Masters.
"Issue an order: all members of the Han family in Jiangbei must not offend Mr. Lu!" Old Man Han commanded.
Han Qiushui nodded repeatedly. He understood this clearly. Lu Fan's strength was extraordinary. Although the Han family was a martial arts family, they absolutely could not afford to offend him.
In the courtyard, Lu Fan lay in the grass, a blade of grass in his mouth, looking at the moon in the sky, appearing quite leisurely.
"Brother Lu Fan, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Ke's voice sounded as she lay down beside Lu Fan.
"Xiao Ke, why are you here?" Lu Fan asked in surprise, "Shouldn't you be at the Lin family at this late hour?"
"Naturally, I miss you, so I came!" Lin Ke shrugged.
