“I don’t think it’s because of that!” The eldest uncle stated directly, “Third brother, why aren’t you speaking? Is there some scheme in your mind?”
“To tell you the truth, Mr. Lu is not simple!” The third uncle said, “I met him in Longdu this time, and we exchanged blows!”
“You mean he can even fight with you?” The second uncle asked in surprise, “I thought Mr. Lu seemed ordinary, not like a martial artist.”
“Not only can he fight with me, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t last three moves against him,” the third uncle stated frankly. “Although he looks ordinary, he’s hiding his strength. If I hadn’t fought him, I wouldn’t have known this!”
“Can’t even last three moves!” The eldest uncle exclaimed, “If that’s truly the case, doesn’t that mean he possesses Grandmaster-level skills!”
“Ten to one he has reached the Grandmaster realm!”
The third uncle did not hide anything. “He is also Mei Li’s friend. If he can help the Jiang family, perhaps there is a chance of winning.”
“To have Grandmaster strength at such a young age, could he be from some sect!” The eldest uncle’s face lit up with joy. “If that’s the case, my Jiang family is saved!”
“No wonder you were so respectful to him from the moment you met him!” The second uncle smiled, “So you had planned all this out from the start!”
“That’s not what I meant! Coming to the Jiang family, he is a guest. It is only natural for me to treat guests with courtesy!” The third uncle said earnestly.
The other two uncles rolled their eyes, seemingly unconvinced. However, they still had some doubts about what the third uncle had said. Lu Fan was simply too young. To reach the Grandmaster realm at such an age would be too terrifying.
As night fell, many elders of the Jiang family arrived. The Jiang family head vacated the main seat, preparing to let the uncles take the honored positions. However, the uncles exchanged smiles, “Mr. Lu healed the family head, so he should sit in the main seat!”
“I am but a junior, how could I dare to take that seat?” Lu Fan smiled faintly, “Please, esteemed elders, do not elevate me too highly! I am unworthy.”
“If you hadn’t intervened, who knows when the family head’s illness would have been cured!” The third uncle said, “Mr. Lu has been kind to the Jiang family, and we will always remember it!”
“Indeed, indeed!” The Jiang family head nodded, “May I ask where Mr. Lu obtained this medicinal pill? Since taking it, I feel full of vigor, and my condition has greatly improved!”
“I refined it myself!” Lu Fan chuckled.
“So Mr. Lu refined it personally!” The Jiang family head quickly nodded, “May I ask if Mr. Lu can still refine such pills? The Jiang family is willing to purchase them in large quantities, you can name your price!”
“Cough cough…”
Lu Fan coughed a few times, his expression turning awkward. “To be honest, refining such a pill successfully is extremely difficult, and it requires numerous rare treasures. It can be said that a single pill is worth ten thousand gold and hard to come by! Purchasing them in bulk is probably not feasible!”
“Worth ten thousand gold and hard to come by?”
The Jiang family head trembled abruptly. “No wonder it has such miraculous effects, this pill is actually so expensive! Mr. Lu, you have spent so much, I am ashamed!”
“Although it’s hard to come by, for me, it’s just a few pills,” Lu Fan waved his hand, “Family Head Jiang, you needn’t be like this.”
“Regardless, thank you very much!” Jiang Mei Li said, “You should leave tomorrow! Return to Longdu!”
“Are you trying to drive us away?” Lu Fan smiled, “It seems you don’t really want to get married, it’s just a delaying tactic.”
“Even if it means mutual destruction, I will not marry Old Man Shen,” Jiang Mei Li stated, “But for the sake of the entire Jiang family, I have no choice but to do so. Mr. Lu, you were mistaken after all!”
“Mei Li, don’t worry! Your father will never let you marry Shen Lao San!” The Jiang family head said repeatedly.
“That’s right! How can a member of the Jiang family be easily insulted by others!” The third uncle declared, “We won’t hesitate even if it means mutual destruction!”
Having said that, the third uncle looked at Lu Fan again, “Mr. Lu has vast abilities and is not an ordinary person. If you can lend our Jiang family a hand in three days, our Jiang family will be forever grateful!”
“Third Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about? This is a Jiang family matter, it has nothing to do with them!” Jiang Mei Li said sternly, “Besides, they are just ordinary people, how can they deal with the Shen family!”
“It seems the eldest lady doesn’t know that Mr. Lu’s abilities are heavenly, not ordinary!” The third uncle stated, “Otherwise, why would he dare to disrespect a Grandmaster today.” Su Dan Novel Network
Following these words, everyone turned their gaze to Lu Fan, their curiosity piqued, especially Jiang Mei Li. She had always believed Lu Fan to be an ordinary person, but the third uncle would never lie to her.
“So Mr. Lu is also a martial artist!” Jiang Mei Li exclaimed, “Why can’t I sense it!”
“How can a Grandmaster expert be easily sensed by you!” The third uncle stated frankly, “You are still too naive!”
“Grandmaster expert?”
Jiang Mei Li’s expression changed instantly as she looked at Lu Fan, “Are you truly a Grandmaster?”
“I am not a Grandmaster!” Lu Fan waved his hand, “Please don’t make wild guesses!”
Seeing Lu Fan’s denial, the third uncle was slightly surprised, and the other uncles also looked astonished. They had already concluded that Lu Fan was a Grandmaster expert. If Lu Fan wasn’t one, he might not be able to help the Jiang family.
“I knew it, how could he possibly be a Grandmaster!” Jiang Mei Li rolled her eyes, “If he were a Grandmaster, I suppose I’d be a Great Cultivator!”
“Don’t be rude!” The Jiang family head said, “Regardless of Mr. Lu’s strength, he is a guest of honor of our Jiang family.”
“Mr. Lu, I’ll toast you!”
The Jiang family head stood up, raising his wine glass with a solemn look. The uncles also raised their glasses, not daring to show any disrespect.
Although Lu Fan had denied it, the fact that he had cured the family head was enough for the entire Jiang family to treat him with respect.
As night fell, after everyone had enjoyed their drinks, Lu Fan and Lin Ke retired to their room, their breaths still carrying the aroma of wine.
“Xiao Fan, Mei Li is my best friend!” Lin Ke said, “I don’t want anything to happen to her, and I certainly don’t want her to marry that old man!”
“Don’t worry!” Lu Fan smiled, “She is your best friend, so how could I let her walk into a fiery abyss! On the day the Shen family proposes, I will send them packing!”
“Thank you!” Lin Ke nodded sincerely, “Thank you, Brother Lu Fan!”
“When did you become so polite?” Lu Fan glanced at her, “Why don’t you call me husband!”
“Husband…”
Lin Ke smiled awkwardly and then threw herself into Lu Fan’s arms.
Meanwhile, in the Jiang family courtyard, the eldest uncle looked at the third uncle, “I say, third brother, did you make a mistake? He himself admitted that he isn’t a Grandmaster!”
“I don’t know about that,” the third uncle shook his head, “But his strength is unfathomable, I can confirm that. I would definitely lose within three moves. How could he not be a Grandmaster!”
