"Elder, you flatter me!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, then left the fighting arena and headed towards the central area of Baishui City. This trip to Baishui City had taken up a lot of time. Once he could calm down, Lu Fan also wanted to improve his strength, so that he could forge the golden body for Lin Ke as soon as possible.
Not long after, Lu Fan arrived at the entrance of the Bai family. Looking at the grand plaque of the Bai family, he walked towards the main gate.
"Stop! This is the Bai family mansion, who are you?"
The gatekeeper spoke, looking at Lu Fan vigilantly.
"I'm looking for Miss Bai!"
Lu Fan chuckled, "Please help me announce it."
"My young lady is a delicate flower, not just anyone can see her at will!" The gatekeeper said coldly, "More importantly, who are you? Why do you want to see our young lady? If you don't explain clearly, then leave immediately, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite!"
Lu Fan frowned. He hadn't expected the guards of the Bai family to be so imposing and so unforgiving.
"I'm here to return the money!"
Lu Fan stated directly, "Go and inform her, your young lady will naturally understand!"
The gatekeeper was skeptical and then walked into the courtyard. After all, it wasn't good for him to directly dismiss Lu Fan. If he were Miss Bai Xiaoqing's friend, wouldn't he have made a huge mistake?
"This Bai residence is truly magnificent!"
Lin Ke exclaimed, "No wonder this Bai Xiaoqing is so generous, able to lend ten taels of silver so casually!"
"It is indeed quite wealthy!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, "Being able to live in this central area, it's likely not an ordinary family. In Baishui City, the Bai family must have a certain status."
As they were talking, Bai Xiaoqing came out from inside. Seeing Lu Fan's figure, she showed a happy expression, "I didn't expect you to really come, it seems I didn't misjudge you!"
"A drop of water's kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring. Since I borrowed the money, how can I not come!"
Lu Fan said directly, and at the same time took out the silver.
Bai Xiaoqing smiled, "I'm already very happy that you came. You don't need to return this silver, after all, this thing is not important to me."
"It's not important to you, but it's very important to me!"
Lu Fan said seriously, "So you must accept this silver!"
Bai Xiaoqing looked embarrassed, and then accepted the silver, "You traveled all this way just to return these ten taels of silver. You can't leave casually today. I specially asked someone to prepare a banquet, you can't refuse."
"This is probably not good!"
Lu Fan smiled awkwardly. Regardless, this was the Bai family, and he was the one who borrowed money. Returning it now was only right, and it wasn't good to eat and drink lavishly at the Bai family.
"Although we've only met once, we are now friends!"
Bai Xiaoqing smiled, "How can I let you leave so easily? Besides, I heard just now that you came to return the money, and I've already sent someone to prepare. If you leave like this, wouldn't it make my Bai family appear ungracious!"
"Alright, since that's the case, then I'll have a meal at the Bai family before leaving!"
Lu Fan nodded, feeling a bit helpless. Originally, after returning the money, he planned to look around the surroundings of Baishui City to see if he could find Long Yi and the others, but now it seemed that things would be delayed again.
Entering the Bai residence, Lu Fan looked at the dazzling furniture and was quite envious. These furniture were extraordinary, and coupled with the various decorations within the Bai residence, they were quite exquisite.
"Young lady, is there anything? Wei Ke asked me to come personally?"
The bearded man walked over, simultaneously cupping his fists.
"See who this is!"
Bai Xiaoqing smiled, "You said back then that he wouldn't come to repay, that the world is full of dangers, but now it seems that's not the case!"
"So it's you, kid!"
The bearded man smiled awkwardly, "It seems I was wrong, I ultimately misjudged!"
"It's only natural to repay debts,"
Lu Fan stated directly, "However, this Bai family in Baishui City seems to hold a significant position!"
"You're not wrong about that, kid!"
The bearded man nodded, "In the entire Baishui City, the Bai family's influence is extremely widespread. Ordinary forces have to be extremely respectful to the Bai family. You being able to borrow ten taels of silver from my young lady is a great fortune!"
"Guests are guests, bearded man, don't talk nonsense!"
Bai Xiaoqing rolled her eyes, "Has my father arrived?"
"Your father has already arrived!"
The head of the Bai family walked over and smiled, "Who is this distinguished guest today that you are making such a fuss about?"
"This is the person who owed me ten taels of silver!"
Bai Xiaoqing said proudly, "He has already returned the ten taels of silver to me, and you lost our bet!"
The head of the Bai family was slightly stunned, then looked at Lu Fan. He was a bit shocked, as with his strength, he could not see through Lu Fan's cultivation.
One should know that he was a spirit master. As long as someone was below the spirit master realm, or just an ordinary person, he could see through them at a glance. But only Lu Fan made him unable to see through. Su Dan Fiction Network
"Dad, what are you looking at? The guest is here, why aren't you entertaining him properly!" Bai Xiaoqing frowned.
The head of the Bai family reacted and quickly said, "It was my oversight just now, young sir, please don't take offense!"
"You jest, Patriarch!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists, "I am already very grateful that Miss Bai lent me silver!"
"May I know who young sir is? Have you perhaps joined a sect?" the head of the Bai family suddenly asked.
"No sect, no school, just a lone wanderer!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, feeling a bit awkward. If it weren't for Bai Xiaoqing's insistence on staying, he would have left long ago.
"Young sir, do you have a wife and children at home?" the head of the Bai family asked again.
"I suppose I do!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, "Unfortunately, there was an accident!"
The head of the Bai family seemed to understand, and then led everyone to the main hall. At this time, the main hall was already filled with delicious delicacies.
"Young sir, please take the main seat!"
The head of the Bai family flattered, "Guests are guests, please don't be polite!"
Bai Xiaoqing stood aside, somewhat confused. The bearded man also looked puzzled. This was not the usual behavior of their family head. If it were in ordinary times, he would have left long ago, and there would be no such interaction with Lu Fan.
"As a junior, how can I sit in the main seat!"
Lu Fan shook his head, "Please, Patriarch Bai."
The head of the Bai family nodded slightly and was no longer polite. After sitting in the main seat, he said to Lu Fan, "Young sir, do you have no other relatives at home? Why don't you stay here at my Bai mansion?"
"This is a good idea!"
Bai Xiaoqing nodded, "I strongly support it."
"See, my daughter says so. If young sir is willing, I will marry her to you!" the head of the Bai family said directly, "Although my daughter is willful, she is indeed a good person. If you two can join forces, you will surely live in harmony in the future!"
