Bai Hua Xue frowned, he hadn't realized Jiang Mei Li was so concerned about Lu Fan.
"If you can stay at this girl's home, it would be quite convenient!" the City Lord of Ju Ling smiled. "I have been good friends with the Bai Hua family for generations, and if anything comes up, we can look after you."
"Yes! Lord Lu, please don't refuse!"
Bai Hua Xue said repeatedly, "The Bai Hua family is one of the three major families in Ju Ling Kingdom, and we will certainly not embarrass Your Lordship."
"Other than that, it's all fine. If we really go to the Bai Hua family, wouldn't that be too much of a disturbance!" Lu Fan stated directly.
"My old man is an extremely hospitable person. It's more lively with more people, so how could it be a disturbance!" Bai Hua Xue said repeatedly.
"Since that's the case, then thank you!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. They were unfamiliar with Ju Ling City, and if there was any news from the Ju Ling headquarters, staying at the Bai Hua family's would allow them to know sooner.
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Bai Hua Xue said with a smile, secretly glancing at the City Lord of Ju Ling, showing a triumphant expression.
After Lu Fan left, the City Lord of Ju Ling then hurried towards the Ju Ling headquarters, not daring to delay even a moment. This matter was of great importance, and he could not afford to be negligent.
Lu Fan followed Bai Hua Xue to the Bai Hua family. The Bai Hua family was one of the three major families in Ju Ling Kingdom. The courtyard was extremely vast, and it looked quite luxurious.
"This is the Bai Hua Mansion?" Han Qiu Shui exclaimed, "It's too luxurious!"
"It's alright!" Bai Hua Xue said casually, "After all, they are from one of the three major families in Ju Ling Kingdom, so they naturally need to have some presence!"
"Is the Bai Hua family head here?"
Lu Fan spoke out, "This is my first time visiting the Bai Hua family, and I should pay my respects. Otherwise, wouldn't it be disrespectful!"
"Lord Lu, don't worry, my old man is very polite. If he knows you are coming, he will be extremely happy!" Bai Hua Xue smiled.
Just then, a middle-aged man in luxurious attire walked over, looking puzzled. "Little Xue, who are these people?"
"Father, this is Lord Lu from Long Kingdom!"
Bai Hua Xue introduced, "I witnessed his demeanor in the outer domain battlefield!"
"Lord Lu from Long Kingdom?"
Bai Li Liu Yun was surprised. "It is rumored that Lord Lu from Long Kingdom can contend against thousands of troops. Seeing him today, he indeed has such bearing!"
"You flatter me, senior!" Lu Fan smiled.
"Father, what are you waiting for!" Bai Hua Xue urged, "Quickly order the kitchen to prepare his favorite dishes and host Lord Lu tonight!"
"Right, right!"
Bai Li Liu Yun said repeatedly, "Sister Liu, go prepare a table of food and drinks. It must be the best!"
Sister Liu heard this and quickly nodded, not daring to delay at all.
As one of the three major families, the Bai Li family was impeccable in terms of both financial and material resources. With distinguished guests arriving, they naturally would not be negligent.
"Senior Bai Li, there's no need to spend so much!"
Lu Fan smiled, "I am only here to stay this time!"
"It's just a meal, what kind of expense is that!"
Bai Li Xue said seriously, "Lord Lu is here in Ju Ling Kingdom this time. If the Bai Li family does not entertain you properly, and word gets out later, how will the Bai Li family present themselves!"
Lu Fan was rendered speechless and could only comply.
When the banquet began, Bai Li Liu Yun personally poured wine for Lu Fan, saying, "Lord Lu, your killing of the many strong cultivators from Cang Qiong Kingdom is truly satisfying. Tonight, I must drink with you until we are both intoxicated!"
"If others do not offend me, I will not offend them!" Lu Fan stated directly. "If they hadn't pushed me too far, I wouldn't have been so fierce!"
"That is natural!"
Bai Hua Liu Yun nodded. "I wonder if Lord Lu is married? Such a young and handsome man, I wonder if my Little Xue has this good fortune!"
"Lord Lu is already married."
Jiang Mei Li quickly said, "Patriarch Bai Li will be disappointed!"
"Indeed!" Lu Fan smiled, "I am already married!"
At this point, Lu Fan felt a little awkward. He hadn't expected Bai Li Liu Yun to ask such a question.
"Father, what are you talking about!" Bai Hua Xue blushed. "You're making me lose face!"
"Am I not asking to make things clear!"
Bai Li Liu Yun glanced over. "If the water is not flowing to outside fields, if Lord Lu were not married, I would think you two are quite a match!"
Bai Hua Xue said nothing. Even though Lu Fan was already married, her nascent feelings for Lu Fan would not easily recede.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward. Bai Li Liu Yun suddenly smiled and said, "Lord Lu, you are so young yet you can wreak havoc in the outer domain battlefield. I wonder what level your strength has reached!"
"What, Patriarch Bai Li wants to try?" Lu Fan said directly. "If that's the case, we can spar!"
"Lord Lu is not joking?" Bai Li Liu Yun asked seriously, "I am quite interested!"
"I also saw it long ago!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Please enlighten me, senior!"
Bai Li Liu Yun was delighted and stepped towards Lu Fan. He wanted to see what level Lu Fan's strength had reached.
Being able to wreak havoc in the outer domain battlefield, he was certainly no ordinary person. As the patriarch of one of the three major families in Ju Ling Kingdom, he naturally wanted to understand.
"Father, be careful if you make a move!" Jiang Mei Li said, "Lord Lu's strength is not simple!"
"Don't worry, father has also been through many battles!"
Bai Li Liu Yun smiled and then looked at Lu Fan. "Lord Lu, please make your move!"
Lu Fan said no more, stomped his foot on the ground, and a powerful aftershock immediately swept out. He did not know his own strength and had not used his full power.
Feeling the strong force, Bai Li Liu Yun trembled slightly. Lu Fan appeared to be the youngest, but the methods he displayed were enough to make him wary.
He took a few steps back and also unleashed a powerful inner force, surging towards Lu Fan. At that very moment, the two inner forces collided.
Boom...
With a loud bang, the aftershock in the entire courtyard did not dissipate. Everyone dodged, filled with shock.
The出手 of such powerful beings was indeed extraordinary. The two figures remained motionless, and the entire Bai Li mansion was almost reduced to ruins, which made people tremble with fear.
"I concede defeat!"
Patriarch Bai Li smiled. "Lord Lu truly surprises me!"
"Patriarch Bai Li, you are too kind!"
Lu Fan chuckled. "The previous duel was evenly matched, it seems we are on par!"
"Lord Lu, you were lenient. I already saw it!"
Patriarch Bai Li stated directly, "If Lord Lu used his full power, I might not be able to handle it!"
"If Patriarch Bai Li says so, then Patriarch Bai Li has also not used his full power!" Lu Fan said directly. "I should be correct, shouldn't I!"
"Nothing escapes Lord Lu's keen eye!" Patriarch Bai Li nodded slightly. "Even so, if we were to truly fight, I would still not be Lord Lu's opponent!"
"I think both of you should stop being modest!" Bai Hua Xue said with a wry smile. "Let's call it a draw! So you two don't have to get so tangled up!"
"This suggestion is good!" Gu Wen nodded. "I think it's a draw!"
