"No matter what, you saved us, so we hope you will join us!"
Zhao Xue spoke, "Once we return to Tianhai City, we will not treat you unfairly!"
"You mean you want to take me to Tianhai City?" Lu Fan was slightly startled. He was worried about having nowhere to go. If he could go to Tianhai City, it might be a good thing for him.
"That's right, that's what I'm thinking!" Zhao Xue nodded and said, "There are quite a few bandits outside. It's extremely difficult for you to venture out alone. Once you return to Tianhai City, why don't you become a consultant for my Zhao family?"
"I'm afraid this is not appropriate!" Lu Fan frowned slightly. Zhao Xue's words seemed to be tying him down, causing Lu Fan to feel repulsed.
"What's not good about it? I think it's quite good!" Zhao Xue said directly, "Your strength is so great, and your talent is so good. If you can become a consultant for my Zhao family and rely on my Zhao family, you can also become a powerful figure in the future."
"Thank you, but I'm not interested!" Lu Fan waved his hand. He wouldn't live under someone else's roof. At least, in his opinion, things were not that simple.
"Little brother, please don't misunderstand. Miss is saying this out of good intentions. After all, there are many chaotic events in the Heavenly Realm. It may not be a good thing for you to encounter them." The old man from the Zhao family spoke.
"Thank you for your reminder, but I don't have this idea for the time being." Lu Fan waved his hand, his gaze becoming even more indifferent.
Zhao Xue stood aside, feeling helpless. She did not expect Lu Fan to be so stubborn, so stubborn that she felt a sense of strangeness. Perhaps she had never truly known him.
"If you are unwilling to be a consultant for my Zhao family, but you saved my life, could you perhaps visit my Zhao family?" Zhao Xue changed the subject and quickly said to Lu Fan, her words becoming more serious.
"Since Miss Zhao personally invites me, then I will go to Tianhai City!" Lu Fan nodded slightly.
In fact, he had been troubled about where to go. Now that someone had informed him of a direction, he would not refuse. It was better to be in a city than outside, and there would be no problems accompanying them into the city.
Not long after, Lu Fan followed the Zhao family's convoy towards Tianhai City. Every city was guarded by an Emperor-level expert, so no one dared to act recklessly or do anything wrong once they reached the city.
As soon as he returned to the Zhao family, Lu Fan saw an old man who looked emaciated, leaning on a cane, and appearing even more hunched.
"Grandpa, I've finally arrived successfully!" Zhao Xue called out to the old man, her voice sounding somewhat spoiled.
The old man looked at Zhao Xue with doting eyes. However, at this moment, his gaze suddenly shifted to Lu Fan, and he frowned, "Who is this person? He is not from my Zhao family."
"Grandpa, you don't need to be too nervous. He's my friend!" Zhao Xue said, "If he hadn't intervened outside, I probably wouldn't have been able to return!"
"So, you're her savior!" Old Master Zhao narrowed his eyes and said to Lu Fan, "May I know where you live, young brother? Are you from the Heavenly Realm?"
"I ascended from the lower realm, not a native of the Heavenly Realm." Lu Fan waved his hand, appearing rather calm.
"Ascender?"
The old man from the Zhao family frowned. His previous joyous expression instantly vanished. He knew very well that ascenders lacked bloodline power and were vastly different from natives of the Heavenly Realm. Even if he liked such a person, he would not agree.
"Old Master, he is the young lady's savior, but please don't overthink it. It's just that!" Another old man from the Zhao family stepped forward and quickly explained, even fearing that the head of the Zhao family would misunderstand.
"Of course, I know that!" The old master nodded and looked at Lu Fan, "Young man, you were able to save my granddaughter, and I am very grateful. I originally wanted to take you as my son-in-law, but since you are an ascender, I think it's best to forget it!"
"Grandpa, what are you talking about!" Zhao Xue said repeatedly, her face looking somewhat embarrassed. She never expected her grandfather to be so direct. Wouldn't this make Lu Fan uncomfortable?
"It doesn't matter, I'm not interested anyway." Lu Fan smiled slightly, his expression even more indifferent.
Old Master Zhao frowned. Lu Fan's words instantly displeased him. However, he had just said he didn't want Lu Fan to become their son-in-law, which was indeed the case.
"Hurry up and prepare a banquet. I want to entertain this young brother properly!" Old Master Zhao ordered. He was somewhat concerned about Lu Fan. Although he was an ascender, he was still a benefactor of their Zhao family after all. Old Master Zhao naturally had to entertain him.
"Perhaps it's not necessary. I was originally escorting them into the city. Now that we've arrived at Tianhai City, I'll take my leave first!"
Lu Fan clasped his fists and smiled slightly.
"How can that be? You saved my life, and I must repay you properly. Are you unwilling even for a banquet?" Zhao Xue said repeatedly, her words carrying a hint of solemnity.
"This..."
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback, unsure how to answer. He was momentarily flustered by Zhao Xue's words.
At the same time, Old Master Zhao also said with a smile, "Why should little brother be so polite? Since you've taken action to help, you're considered family. Why speak as outsiders!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The others from the Zhao family chimed in.
"Alright!"
Lu Fan, feeling somewhat helpless, finally agreed.
Zhao Xue was also filled with joy. Since Lu Fan had never been to Tianhai City, she personally led the way, taking Lu Fan onto the streets of Tianhai City, wanting him to get familiar with it.
However, at this moment, on the other side of the street, there was a group of people. These people looked quite weary, but when they saw Lu Fan, their eyes flashed with cold light. Naturally, they did not expect to meet Lu Fan here.
"What a narrow path. I didn't expect us to meet again!"
Chen Jianbei looked at Lu Fan, his gaze filled with coldness, and his aura was extremely powerful. Su Dan Novel Network
"Indeed, it's a rather narrow path!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "But your father died tragically. That was only natural. Do you also want to follow your father's fate?"
"Dream on! This is not Xuandi City!" Chen Jianbei said coldly, "If you want to move against me, you'd better weigh your options!"
"Is that so?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes but didn't take it too seriously. He was merely a remnant of the Chen family and didn't care at all.
Even when the Patriarch of the Chen family was present, Lu Fan was arrogant, let alone now.
