The next morning, Lu Fan bid farewell to the Valley Master of Shenxian Valley and prepared to head to Tianxian City. Just then, Yang Xian'er approached, a travel pack on her back. "I want to go with you!"
"This is?"
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback, surprised by Yang Xian'er's preparedness.
"I want to go with you, and it's a good chance for me to see the world," Yang Xian'er said with a light laugh. "You won't refuse, will you?"
"You mean you want to go to Shenfeng Pavilion with me?" Lu Fan chuckled. "To watch me get bullied by Shenfeng Pavilion, or to watch me bully Shenfeng Pavilion?"
"Of course, I'm worried about you," Yang Xian'er replied with a smile. "After all, Shenfeng Pavilion is so powerful."
"I think it's best not to," Lu Fan shook his head. "I can handle this myself. If you really follow me, it will only cause unnecessary trouble. You are, after all, the daughter of the Pavilion Master of Tianxian Pavilion. The three pavilions maintain a strict non-interference policy, and I understand that."
"It's alright. As you just said, I am the daughter of the Pavilion Master of Tianxian Pavilion. Even if Fu Ke wanted to deal with us, they would have to think twice," Yang Xian'er said earnestly.
"It's just that this has nothing to do with you. If you get involved, I will feel uncomfortable," Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "So, let's forget it."
Seeing Lu Fan's resolute stance, Yang Xian'er felt a sense of helplessness. The reason she had chosen to accompany Lu Fan was to try and resolve this conflict, but it seemed it was not as simple as she had imagined.
"I knew it!" Long San said with a smile. "Brother Lu has his own plans, and it's not for us to interfere. Su Dan Novel Network."
"Alright, if that's the case, then I won't go!" Yang Xian'er nodded. "But you must visit me at Tianxian Pavilion in the future. I've finally made a friend, and I can't just lose you like this."
"Don't worry, I will definitely visit Tianxian Pavilion when I have time!" Lu Fan smiled faintly. Yang Xian'er was a good person, and indeed a friend worth having.
After Lu Fan left, Yang Xian'er revealed a bitter smile. "In the end, I still didn't get to go."
"If he had truly let you go, he wouldn't have been a good person," Long San remarked. "It's a shame good people don't live long. This time, he's going to Shenfeng Pavilion, and I'm afraid he might not return!"
"Will it really be that serious?" Yang Xian'er muttered, her eyes showing a hint of apprehension.
Not long after, Lu Fan arrived at Tianxian City, but he did not rush inside. Within Tianxian City, he could sense the presence of numerous experts, as if a defensive perimeter had already been established.
Lu Fan's perception was keen, and he naturally would not charge in recklessly.
After observing outside Tianxian City for a while, Lu Fan found a secluded spot and sat down cross-legged, seemingly waiting for nightfall.
After several hours, the sky gradually darkened. Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Fan finally stepped into Tianxian City.
Meanwhile, within the Bai family of Tianxian City, Bai Yetian was busy making arrangements, his brow furrowed. Old Master Bai had been captured for several days, yet there was still no news. They couldn't even visit him.
"Brother, I tried to leave the city again today, but I still couldn't," Bai Xue said. "Shenfeng Pavilion has people lying in wait here. Are they perhaps waiting for Lu Fan?"
"It's highly probable," Bai Yetian nodded. "There are at least three elders, meaning three experts in the Spirit Emperor realm. They are guarding Tianxian City day and night. They must be here to capture Lu Fan, otherwise, they wouldn't go to such lengths."
"Then what should we do!"
Bai Xue's face turned ashen. He didn't want his grandfather to be in danger, nor did he want Lu Fan to be in danger. However, given the current situation, it seemed both of them would be in great trouble.
"One thing is certain: as long as Lu Fan is not captured, Grandpa will be safe," Bai Yetian stated. "I have already contacted many other families, but unfortunately, they are unwilling to stand up for our Bai family!"
"Shenfeng Pavilion holds immense influence in the White Dragon Dynasty. It's understandable that they are unwilling to intervene," Bai Xue nodded. "But besides them, we seem to have no other external support, and we can only be at their mercy."
"Xiao Xue, don't worry, these days won't last long. Big brother will cultivate diligently and become a dragon, and no one will be able to bully the Bai family again," Bai Yetian said solemnly, his eyes filled with determination. Everything he had experienced these past few days surpassed what someone his age should endure, otherwise, he wouldn't have said such words.
"Brother, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. Some things should just happen naturally. I believe things won't be that bad," Bai Xue said frankly.
"Let's hope so!" Bai Yetian nodded slightly and then smiled. "However, I have made arrangements. Tomorrow, you disguise yourself and leave the city with Uncle Wu. You must listen to Uncle Wu and don't act out of willfulness."
"Brother, what do you mean by that? Why do we need to leave the city? If Shenfeng Pavilion finds out, wouldn't it be a death sentence?" Bai Xue asked nervously.
"We're all going to die anyway. If you leave the city, there's still a slim chance of survival," Bai Yetian said solemnly. "I've made all the arrangements. You just need to follow them."
"No, I absolutely will not leave!" Bai Xue shook his head vehemently.
"Listen to your brother. Shenfeng Pavilion is not someone the Bai family can afford to offend. At this point, the Bai family is bound to be destroyed."
Bai Yetian stated frankly, "Now, the more people who can escape, the better. I am currently the one in charge of the Bai family, and they are keeping a close eye on me, so I can't get away easily. But you are different."
"I will never leave. Even if the Bai family is about to perish, as a daughter of the Bai family, how can I live on in苟且偷生?" Bai Xue said decisively.
Even if the Bai family was to be annihilated, he would not retreat a single step.
Seeing Bai Xue's earnest expression, Bai Yetian stood there, unsure how to respond.
"Brother, as a daughter of the Bai family, this is my duty. I know you care about me, but my mind is made up. You don't need to persuade me," Bai Xue said again.
Bai Yetian was extremely frustrated and powerless to refute. Just as Bai Xue had said, as children of the Bai family, it was their duty.
"It was Big Brother who was foolish. Since that's the case, then we will face the Bai family's fate together," Bai Yetian said solemnly.
"Young master, the servants have been sent away as much as possible. The remaining are all members of the Bai family," Uncle Wu came forward. "Tomorrow, they can leave with Miss."
"Uncle Wu, you take them and leave tomorrow. Xiao Xue will not be going," Bai Yetian said.
"Young master, you are the only bloodline of the Bai family," Uncle Wu said with a hoarse voice. "I have served the Bai family for many years. Now that the Bai family has encountered such a disaster, this old servant is also heartbroken. But things have come to this, and I fear there is no turning back."
"Uncle Wu, I know what you mean, but you don't need to persuade me any further," Bai Yetian waved his hand.
