"I have the same intention!" Bai Yetian looked at Lu Fan.
"The Bai family invites, how can there be a reason to refuse!"
Lu Fan said directly, "But aren't you worried that the Shenfeng Pavilion will come to cause trouble?"
"When soldiers come, they will be blocked; when water comes, it will be covered with earth!"
Old Master Bai chuckled, "Things have reached this point, we can only let nature take its course. Some things cannot be forced!"
"The old master has quite a good mindset!" Lu Fan couldn't help but smile.
Meanwhile, in the Eighth Prince's mansion, the White Tiger stood tall at the entrance of the mansion. Ahead, a group of people were approaching, accompanied by numerous carriages.
In the center of the convoy, a middle-aged man, clad in battle armor, arrived at the entrance of the Eighth Prince's mansion amidst the gaze of many.
"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor!"
The White Tiger bowed slightly, offering a respectful salute.
"What exactly happened?"
The Eighth Prince said coldly, "How could Xi'er be in trouble? What has happened during my absence from the royal city?"
"Your Majesty, my brother's disappearance is inextricably linked to the Tianhuo Pavilion!"
The White Tiger stated, "The current controller of the Tianhuo Pavilion is still on the run. I have dispatched Elder Tian and others to investigate, and I expect to have news soon!"
"They dare to lay hands on the Prince's heir, spare no effort!"
The Eighth Prince said coldly, with a hint of anger. Bai Xi was his most favored son, and now he was missing, making it impossible for him to accept.
"Your Majesty, the Tianhuo Pavilion has many experts. Capturing them is no easy feat!"
The White Tiger chuckled, "I wish to borrow your Majesty's Four Divine Guards. If they act, we will surely be able to capture them all!"
"The Four Divine Guards?"
The Eighth Prince frowned slightly, "Currently, only Xuanwu is idle. Let him accompany you out of the city. You must find the people of the Tianhuo Pavilion and bring Bai Xi back!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will attend to it immediately!" The White Tiger quickly nodded.
Not long after, an old man came before the White Tiger. "Prince Baihu, the Prince is only willing to let Xuanwu go. Isn't that a bit insufficient?"
"My old man is wary of me!"
The White Tiger revealed a sinister smile. "Among the Four Divine Guards, Xuanwu is the weakest. However, with him alone, it is enough!"
"If that's the case, when do we depart?" the old man inquired.
"Tonight!"
The White Tiger's expression was cold. In fact, he had already received news that Lu Fan and the others had fled to Tianxian City.
However, to capture Lu Fan and the others in one fell swoop, he had been waiting. As long as the Four Divine Guards were present, Lu Fan would surely be unable to escape.
Inside Tianxian City, the Bai family's residence was brightly lit. Old Master Bai personally hosted a banquet for Lu Fan, a reception of such a scale was rare in the Bai family.
"Brother Lu, at such a young age, you possess extraordinary strength. You are truly a fish that belongs in the pond!"
Old Master Bai smiled, "If you hadn't acted today, little Xue would have been taken back to the Shenfeng Pavilion!"
"It was just a small effort!"
Lu Fan chuckled, "I have already offended the Eighth Prince's mansion. Offending the Shenfeng Pavilion as well doesn't matter anymore!"
"Brother Lu, what are your plans next?" Bai Yetian asked, "Both the Eighth Prince's mansion and the Shenfeng Pavilion seem difficult to provoke!"
"I'll take it one step at a time. One day, I will be able to destroy the Eighth Prince's mansion with my own power!" Lu Fan's voice was filled with ambition, as if this was his long-held desire.
"Young brother Lu, with such ambition, you will surely achieve greatness in the future!" The Bai family head smiled, "My little Xue has had exceptional talent since childhood, and she is indeed a perfect match for young brother Lu!"
"Grandfather, what are you talking about?" Bai Xue was taken aback, her face flushing. She hadn't expected her grandfather to say such things. She was still an unmarried maiden, and such words made her very shy.
"Grandfather is speaking the truth!" Old Master Bai smiled. "Your standards are very high, and ordinary people cannot catch your eye. But this young brother Lu is no ordinary person!" Su Dan Novel Network
Bai Yetian, sitting beside them, also smiled instantly. "Now that grandfather says it, it's indeed true. My sister and Brother Lu are quite well-matched."
"To be honest, I am already married!" Lu Fan gave an embarrassed smile.
"In the Spiritual Realm, having countless companions, what does it matter if you are married!" Bai Yetian stated directly, "As long as you treat little Xue well, that is enough!"
Lu Fan stood frozen, not knowing how to respond.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. If you continue, I'll leave!" Bai Xue lowered her head, appearing very well-behaved.
"Look, I've never seen my sister behave so obediently!" Bai Yetian continued to tease. Lu Fan sat aside, glancing at Bai Xue, feeling a bit awkward. Facing such a beauty, any man would be moved. However, Lu Fan knew that he couldn't be unfair to Xiao Ke, and he would naturally not agree.
Outside Tianxian City, amidst a mountain range, the White Tiger stood tall, accompanied by a large contingent of people and many fierce beasts. In the dark night, a killing intent permeated the air.
"Young Master, there are no strong auras within Tianxian City!" A stern man spoke, standing with his hands behind his back, clad in golden armor. Although his aura was concealed, he was definitely no ordinary person.
"The news is accurate!" The White Tiger chuckled. "I will trouble the Xuanwu Divine Guard later. We must not let that brat escape!"
"Young Master, rest assured, the Prince has instructed that everything will be handled according to your arrangements!" Xuanwu nodded.
"Young Master, for such a minor matter, why do we need the Divine Guard to act? The three of us are sufficient to capture them all!" Elder Tian spoke up.
"Hmph, such a big talk!" The White Tiger snorted. "Didn't they escape from your hands last time?"
Elder Tian's expression changed, and he felt a bit helpless. If it weren't for the Divine Nun of the South Sea last time, he wouldn't have been in such a predicament. This time, he had inquired clearly that there were no other experts in Tianxian City, and dealing with Lu Fan and the others would naturally be as easy as turning over his hand.
Meanwhile, inside Tianxian City, Lu Fan, the Pavilion Master of the Tianhuo Pavilion, and others, feeling a bit tipsy, left the Bai family and headed towards a tavern. Suddenly, Lu Fan looked towards the outskirts of the city, his body abruptly stopping.
"Master, what's wrong?" the Pavilion Master of the Tianhuo Pavilion asked in surprise.
"There are experts spying on Tianxian City!" Lu Fan's brows furrowed tightly. "This place is not suitable for lingering. You should quickly leave from the southern direction!"
"Then what about Master?" The Pavilion Master of the Tianhuo Pavilion's expression changed.
"I have my own way to break free!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "You don't need to worry!"
"Why doesn't Master leave with us?" the Great Elder inquired.
"If so many people flee in one direction, they will surely be pursued!" Lu Fan said. "Split into two groups. If we can survive, we will meet in the Fire Domain!" The elders exchanged glances and then nodded solemnly. It was a moment of life and death, and they naturally dared not delay. After the members of the Tianhuo Pavilion left, Lu Fan did not rush to leave. Instead, he went to the tavern, ordered a few small dishes, and leisurely began to eat.
"You brat, you're really sacrificing yourself for others!" Old Man Hongmeng rolled his eyes. "The Eighth Prince's mansion has dispatched quite a few experts this time. You're still not leaving, you must be trying to buy them time, right?"
