"How dare you!" Bai Xue's face turned ashen. "If you dare to act recklessly, my grandfather will not let you off."
"You think I care about that?"
Lu Fan slowly approached Bai Xue and stood before her. "You are indeed beautiful, no wonder you are so proud. You truly are the eldest daughter of the Bai family."
Bai Xue's face instantly turned ashen, even flustered. If Lu Fan were to do anything to her, she would have no power to resist.
"As long as you let me go, I won't report you," Bai Xue quickly said. "If you truly harm me, the entire Bai family will never let you go. I am the apple of the Bai family's eye, even my grandfather has never hit me."
"Since you are the apple of his eye, I presume your grandfather values you even more," Lu Fan nodded. "When I become a member of the Bai family, grandfather will find a way to protect me. It's truly a win-win situation."
Bai Xue frowned, becoming even more fearful. Lu Fan had her restrained, and she was unable to resist. If he had any improper thoughts, she would likely only have to accept her fate.
"As long as you let me go, I can give you whatever you need," Bai Xue spoke again. "This is a very profitable deal."
Lu Fan, however, did not care and continued to approach Bai Xue.
Bai Xue was terrified and screamed loudly. Lu Fan stopped. "Forget it, I'll wait for your elder brother to pick you up! If I really did something to you, it would be hard for me to explain to him."
Bai Xue was a little surprised, especially by Lu Fan's words. "Do you know my elder brother?"
"Your elder brother and I are both from Beihai Academy, so how could we not know each other?" Lu Fan waved his hand. "It's a shame that because of my mistake, the entire Beihai Academy was implicated. Otherwise, I wouldn't have become enemies with the Eighth Prince's Mansion."
"So that's how you were put on the wanted list by the Eighth Prince's Mansion!"
Bai Xue was slightly surprised. They had thought Lu Fan was an unpardonable villain, but it seemed that was not the case. At least, in her eyes, Lu Fan did not seem like a bad person.
Meanwhile, in the Bai family courtyard, Bai Yetian was practicing his swordplay when a maid rushed over. "Young Master, something bad has happened! Miss has been captured by a villain!"
"What happened?"
Bai Yetian put away his sword, frowning. "Is this another prank you're pulling? You've always liked doing this since you were little." Su Dan Novel Network
"This time it's definitely real. Miss is likely in mortal danger. Young Master, you must hurry, or it will be too late," the maid said urgently.
"Where is she?"
Bai Yetian frowned. This was Heavenly Immortal City, and their Bai family was a dominant force here. Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to offend Bai Xue.
"She's in the tavern in Heavenly Immortal City. I saw him take Miss inside with my own eyes," the maid quickly reminded him.
Bai Yetian said no more and walked out with his sword. She was his only sister, and if anything happened to her, how could he rest easy?
A short while later, he arrived at the tavern. Before he even entered, he heard a voice transmission. He went directly to the second floor and found Bai Xue, who was restrained.
"You're finally here!"
Lu Fan spoke. "Your sister is not simple; ordinary people cannot handle her."
"What's going on?" Bai Yetian frowned slightly.
"She specifically came to assassinate me to obtain the treasure of the Eighth Prince's Mansion!" Lu Fan stated directly.
Bai Yetian furrowed his brow and looked at Bai Xue. "Aren't you being ridiculous? I've warned you long ago not to act recklessly. Why do you never listen?"
"She just wants to gain recognition from the Eighth Prince's Mansion," Bai Xue mumbled.
"You still dare to talk back!" Bai Yetian glared at her, then released her acupoints and looked at Lu Fan. "Thank you for showing mercy. I will not reveal your matters in Heavenly Immortal City to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, but I will never forgive you for what happened at Beihai Academy."
After speaking, Bai Yetian pulled Bai Xue away, his words showing no restraint.
Lu Fan let out a wry smile, unable to say anything more.
After they left, Lu Fan took out the Divine Emperor Cauldron. The Divine Emperor Cauldron looked dilapidated and rusted, but its material was quite unique and not ordinary.
"Old man, how do I use this thing?"
Lu Fan glanced at it. "I value this highly. If it's useless, won't that hurt my feelings?"
"Look at what you're saying. The Divine Emperor Cauldron is an ancient artifact. Although you only obtained a damaged part of it, this damaged part alone is enough for you to escape multiple crises," the Hongmeng old man said directly. "You cannot judge a book by its cover. Next time you encounter danger, you will naturally feel its effects."
Lu Fan could only give a wry smile, unsure if the old man's words were true. However, since the old man called it a treasure, Lu Fan would not neglect it.
After categorizing the purchased pills, Lu Fan began to refine them. His purpose for this trip was to refine pills. If he could break through to the fourth rank, the pills he refined would be effective for the elders.
These four or five elders followed him, and Lu Fan would not mistreat them.
Meanwhile, on the streets of Heavenly Immortal City, Bai Yetian was pulling Bai Xue, looking quite angry. "Why are you so insensible? Luckily, it was him today. If it were someone else, do you know what your fate would be?"
"Brother, I'm fine. Why are you so nervous?" Bai Xue chuckled. "Besides, I think your friend is quite good. He seems like a person of character."
"So what if he's a person of character?"
Bai Yetian's eyes were cold. "She ultimately ruined Beihai Academy. I will never forgive him."
"I've heard about Beihai Academy too. It's not his fault," Bai Xue stated directly. "We can only blame the Eighth Prince's Mansion for being too brutal, never taking forces like us seriously."
Bai Yetian looked around and then glared at her. "Don't talk nonsense here. If others hear you, you could be killed."
"I'm not afraid to say it!"
Bai Xue said proudly. "Moreover, what I'm saying is the truth. Even if people from the Eighth Prince's Mansion hear it, so what?"
"Shouldn't you consider our Bai family's situation?" Bai Yetian said coldly. "If we offend the Eighth Prince's Mansion, with our Bai family's strength, we can't afford to."
Bai Xue pouted. Although she was full of dissatisfaction, she couldn't say much more.
"By the way, when you returned from Shenfeng Pavilion this time, did you cause any trouble?"
Bai Yetian asked. "Otherwise, why did you return to Heavenly Immortal City without any notification, and looking like you don't plan to go back?"
"My brother is indeed amazing," Bai Xue flattered him. "The main reason I returned this time is that I couldn't stay at Shenfeng Pavilion any longer."
