"Old man, we finally drove them away!"
Bai Xiaoqing said, "I don't have to marry into the Lin family anymore. It's truly a happy ending for all!"
"The matter has been resolved, and the Lin family will also leave Bai Shui City tomorrow!"
Lu Fan said, "In that case, I can leave now!"
"Mr. Lu doesn't need to rush!"
Bai Xiaoqing said repeatedly, "I've already sent people to inquire. If there's any news about your friends, it will arrive soon. It's not too late for you to leave then!"
"Since that's the case, I'll listen to Miss Bai!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. Relying on his own strength to find Long Yi and the others would indeed be difficult, but with Bai Xiaoqing's help, it wouldn't be a problem.
"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to be not only a Spirit Master but also so powerful!" Bai family head said with a smile, "You truly impress me!"
"It's just a small matter of lifting a hand!"
Lu Fan chuckled, "Besides, that Lin family head has a lot of wealth but not much real combat power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost to me."
"Mr. Lu is right!"
The Bai family head nodded slightly, then looked at the big man with a beard. "Hurry up and prepare. Have the kitchen make a few more dishes. I'm going to host Mr. Lu tonight!"
The big man with a beard quickly nodded and walked towards the kitchen, his spirits high. From now on, the Bai family's status in Bai Shui City would be unshakeable, and he would also prosper.
The big man with a beard was quite satisfied with this. What he valued even more was that Lu Fan, at such a young age, possessed such strength and also had a connection with the Bai family.
By evening, the Bai family was brightly lit, and cheers could be heard from time to time, making it quite lively.
Meanwhile, inside the Lin family's residence, it was dark. The Lin family members had already left Bai Shui City early. Their mansion was also deserted.
The reason they left secretly was out of fear that the Bai family would go back on their word. After all, the Bai family now possessed extraordinary strength, and if they truly reneged, it would not be good for their Lin family.
The citizens of Bai Shui City saw this scene with some disappointment.
They could no longer witness the rivalries between the two major families, which they used to see. After all, there was no longer any trace of the Lin family in Bai Xue City.
"Mr. Lu, I'll toast you!"
The Bai family head raised his wine glass. "If it weren't for Mr. Lu, it would have been our Bai family leaving Bai Shui City. Mr. Lu has given us the grace of rebirth. No matter what request Mr. Lu has in the future, the Bai family will surely comply!"
"There's no need to be so polite!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "It was just a small matter of convenience. Besides, if Miss Bai hadn't shown me kindness before, I wouldn't have intervened!"
"That's true!"
Bai Xiaoqing smiled. "It seems that being helpful is a good thing."
"That's right, that's right!"
The big man with a beard quickly said, "If it weren't for the young lady, we wouldn't have had this opportunity to meet Mr. Lu!"
"Big man with a beard, that's not what you said before!"
Bai Xiaoqing glared. "You clearly told me before that people's hearts are wicked and that I shouldn't trust others easily. Why have you changed your tune?"
"I was narrow-minded before."
The big man with a beard quickly said, "It is the young lady who has foresight. I will learn from the young lady more in the future!"
Bai Xiaoqing nodded slightly, quite satisfied, especially with her previous words.
"It smells so good! Can I have a bowl of wine?"
A voice rang out. An old man in tattered clothes walked in, holding a bowl in his hand, looking like a beggar.
"How did you open the door? How did you let a beggar in?"
The big man with a beard quickly said, "Get him out!"
The two guards at the door stood stunned. They had been standing guard at the entrance and hadn't let anyone in. As for how this old beggar got in, he really didn't know.
"I'm just here to beg for some wine, why are you so angry!" the old beggar said repeatedly.
Lu Fan felt the voice was rather familiar. He looked at the old man and quickly got up. "Isn't this Master? Why are you here?"
The Bai family head was startled and also quickly stood up. He never expected that this old beggar in front of him was Lu Fan's master. Knowing that Lu Fan was a Spirit Master at such a young age, his master was likely even more formidable, perhaps a legendary figure.
The big man with a beard was also shocked. He never expected that this old man, who looked so ragged, would be Lu Fan's master.
"Why are you here too, you brat?"
The old beggar glanced at Lu Fan, directly sat down, and started eating with gusto.
"After leaving Qing Shui Town, I came to Bai Shui City!"
Lu Fan said with a forced smile, "The secret technique Master taught me last time is indeed powerful, but I've almost mastered that technique. Are there any other secret techniques you can teach me?"
"You brat, are you too greedy!"
The old beggar said irritably, "You have to realize that what I teach you are supreme secret techniques, not cabbages from the street!"
"Regardless, you are my master. It is only right for you to teach me secret techniques!"
Lu Fan said solemnly, "If you don't teach me, then I won't acknowledge you as my master. You won't be able to use this roast chicken and fine wine!"
The old beggar glanced at the fine wine, then glared. "You brat, you're really trying to swindle me. Fine, as you wish."
After speaking, he pointed a magical art towards Lu Fan's forehead. Lu Fan instantly felt a surge of knowledge being transmitted into his mind.
The Bai family head stood by the side, his expression changing. The white-haired old man did not seem like an ordinary person. Through the magical art he had just displayed, it could be further confirmed.
After receiving this technique, Lu Fan was also quite pleased. He could even clearly feel that as the old beggar performed the secret art, his aura had risen considerably.
"I can never meet you again in the future, or all the good things will be taken by you!"
The old beggar glared and started eating the roast chicken, his mouth slick with oil.
"May I ask, senior, what kind of expert are you?"
The Bai family head cautiously cupped his fists and said, "As far as I know, there don't seem to be any experts like you in Bai Shui City."
"This old man wanders the four seas, eating from a hundred families and drinking from a hundred wells!"
The old beggar said, "I intended to get a free meal, but instead, I was swindled!"
Bai Xiaoqing stood there, feeling a bit embarrassed. The old beggar was likely referring to Lu Fan, but Lu Fan called the old beggar Master. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be like this.
"Master, I am your disciple!"
Lu Fan said righteously, "Since that's the case, it's not too much to ask for some of your magical arts!"
"You're right, you're right!"
The old beggar nodded. "It's this old man who is too stingy!"
