"Senior Brother, don't worry, I don't think that person is a bad person," Yun Yiyi said with an embarrassed smile. "Although their strength is a bit much, I doubt they would do anything to us!"
"Even so, offending such a person is never good!" Li Qing frowned. "You cannot be so rash in the future!"
"That's of no consequence!" Yun Yiyi chuckled. "Even if it's the skill of a Grandmaster, what of it! My Yun family is not short of Grandmasters!"
"The Yun family may not be short, but when we face a Grandmaster, we should be humble!" Li Qing said directly, with a hint of worry.
The methods Lu Fan displayed were enough to make him wary. If there was even a slight misstep, the two of them might have perished here today.
Returning to the Tianfu Villa, Lu Fan took out the medicinal ingredients with a hint of joy. The medicinal power of these ingredients was extraordinary. If refined according to the method, it might be possible to concoct excellent elixirs.
After a long while, the elixir Lu Fan was refining gradually took shape, releasing a rich medicinal aroma that invigorated the spirit.
"My Lord, what elixir are you refining?" Han Yunhai strode in. "It seems to have a very strong medicinal fragrance!"
"Arousing Elixir!" Lu Fan said with a light smile, producing ten elixirs in his hand. "This elixir has excellent effects. Would you like to try one?"
"My Lord, you jest. How could I casually try such a rare item!" Han Yunhai said awkwardly.
Lu Fan was unfazed and handed an elixir to Han Yunhai. "It's just an elixir, why be polite with me!"
Holding the elixir in his hand, Han Yunhai was inwardly excited and quickly said, "Thank you, My Lord, for the elixir!"
Han Yunhai knew very well that the elixirs Lu Fan refined were by no means ordinary. His ability to obtain one now was a stroke of good fortune.
"You wouldn't come this late without a reason, would you?" Lu Fan glanced at him. "If it were nothing, you wouldn't be here like this!"
"It's really nothing major!" Han Yunhai smiled. "It's just the wedding invitation list. I'd like your approval!"
Lu Fan looked through the list and nodded slightly. "Those who should be invited are all on the list. There should be no mistakes!"
"Since that's the case, I'll proceed with it now!" Han Yunhai nodded and then smiled, "It's just that there are no relatives of yours on this list..."
"The Lu family was annihilated eighteen years ago!" Lu Fan chuckled. "I'm afraid I have no relatives in this world!"
"I was negligent!" Han Yunhai reproached himself.
Lu Fan didn't take it to heart and said, "Since you're here, accompany me to Tianquan Villa."
Han Yunhai nodded. Lu Fan cared greatly for Uncle Fu, and his visit to Tianquan Villa was likely to check on him.
At Tianquan Villa, Old Zhao stood behind Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu was sipping tea, his white hair appearing somewhat aged.
"I heard the Young Master's wedding is approaching. Will Tianquan Villa also be festive?" Old Zhao asked with a light smile.
"Naturally!" Uncle Fu nodded. "The Young Master is the true master of Tianquan Villa!"
Upon saying this, a look of joy spread across Uncle Fu's face. Lu Fan's marriage would continue the lineage of the Lu family, thus fulfilling the patriarch's trust!
"Uncle Fu, what tea are you drinking?"
Lu Fan walked into the courtyard with a smile. "The breeze is quite pleasant tonight. It's quite enjoyable to sit and drink tea!"
"Young Master!"
Uncle Fu quickly got up. "Why have you come in person?"
"Of course, I've come to see you!"
Lu Fan slowly sat down. "I'm about to get married. I'd like to invite Uncle Fu to sit at the head seat. After all, you are probably my only relative now!"
"Absolutely not!"
Uncle Fu bowed. "This old servant is merely a servant of the Lu family. How dare I sit in the honored seat!"
Uncle Fu's expression was serious. This seat was only for Lu Fan's closest kin, otherwise, he would not have refused so vehemently.
"Uncle Fu, are you refusing me?" Lu Fan's expression was serious. "What I said is from the heart!"
"This old servant dares not!" Uncle Fu quickly shook his head. "It's just that the honored seat is of great importance, and it's not a place this old servant can occupy!"
"If I say you can, then you can!" Lu Fan stated directly, without any reservation.
Uncle Fu's body trembled, and his heart was filled with gratitude, but he still did not agree.
"It is only right to invite close relatives to the Young Master's wedding!" Uncle Fu said. "It's a pity that after so many years, who knows where the Yang family is!"
"The Yang family?" Lu Fan was bewildered. "Why have I never heard Uncle Fu mention them?"
"The Yang family are your maternal relatives!"
Uncle Fu stated directly. "When the Lu family was destroyed, the Yang family collectively left Qingzhou to avoid disaster. Their whereabouts are still unknown, and it's uncertain if they were also annihilated!"
"Meaning, I still have a maternal clan?"
A glint flashed in Lu Fan's eyes. He had always believed he had no close relatives. To learn this news now, how could he not be shocked.
"In fact, I've been searching for the Yang family all these years!" Uncle Fu said helplessly. "Unfortunately, there's been no news at all!"
"Uncle Fu, don't worry, I will send people to search with all our might!" Lu Fan said solemnly.
Uncle Fu nodded slightly and then asked, "After the wedding, do you have any other plans, Young Master?"
"After the wedding, I must go to Chuzhou!" Lu Fan said sternly. "The mastermind has not yet appeared. I must find out why they targeted the Lu family!"
"The five great families were annihilated, and the Lu family's great revenge has been avenged!" Uncle Fu's body trembled. "Perhaps it should end here."
"The five great families were merely pawns. The true culprit is still at large," Lu Fan said coldly. "I will never let this go!"
Uncle Fu stood there, his heart filled with bitterness. He never imagined that Lu Fan would be so determined, even with a murderous aura.
"Young Master, you have done enough for the Lu family," Old Zhao said. "As for the mastermind, why pursue it further? If you get caught in a deeper mire, perhaps..."
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "A deeper mire? Do you already know something? Or have you received some news, otherwise why would you say this?"
"I was just speaking casually. Young Master, please don't take it to heart," Old Zhao said with a bitter smile. "I'm just worried about you, after all, someone who can control five great families is no ordinary person. Such a person might even be beyond your control!"
Uncle Fu also nodded. He was very clear about this, otherwise, he wouldn't have persuaded Lu Fan. After all, he also harbored animosity towards those who framed the Lu family.
If it weren't for Lu Fan's safety, they wouldn't have tried so hard to persuade him.
"You don't need to say any more. My mind is made up on this matter!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "I'd like to see just how powerful the mastermind is, to inspire such fear!"
Uncle Fu and Old Zhao exchanged glances, revealing expressions of helplessness. With Lu Fan's resolve, they had no other choice but to comply.
After leaving Tianquan Villa, Lu Fan looked at Han Yunhai. "Send someone to personally investigate where the Yang family went back then. After all, they are my maternal clan. If they encounter any difficulties, provide assistance as much as possible!"
