"It's not unwillingness, but simply unnecessary!"
Long Yi smiled and said, "His background is extremely significant. A single word from him might be enough to have the Lord of Donghai City personally greet him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Shihai and Yang Shiyun were also startled and incredulous. If that were true, then Lu Fan would indeed have a powerful background. However, they were quite skeptical of Long Yi's words.
Lu Fan had been orphaned since childhood. Even if he was rescued by a master and acquired some medical skills, it was unlikely to warrant a personal greeting from the City Lord, as he was not an ordinary person.
However, just at this moment, Lu Fan also looked sharply at Long Yi. He had long suspected that Long Yi's visit to Jiangjing Longting had ulterior motives, and now it seemed to be true. After all, Lu Fan had never revealed his identity to him. How could Long Yi possibly know that Lu Fan possessed such a formidable status?
Moreover, from Long Yi's words, Lu Fan could tell that Long Yi knew him quite well, and was likely targeting him.
It was just that Lu Fan found it perplexing. Long Yi had had the opportunity to act, so why did he delay and instead engage in verbal sparring with him, even coming all the way to Donghai City.
"Xiao Fan, is he telling the truth?"
Yang Shiyun asked curiously, her gaze fixed on Lu Fan. She didn't believe it at first, but since Long Yi could say such a thing, there must be some reason behind it.
"How to put it? I do have some reputation in Longdu!" Lu Fan said with an awkward smile. "But you don't need to pay too much attention to it. It's not as exaggerated as he says!"
"To be able to establish oneself in Longdu is already very impressive!" Yang Shihai nodded and smiled. "But you alone in Longdu cannot support a grand occasion. If you are unwilling to join forces with your uncle, your uncle won't force you, but you must think clearly. Your Lu family's enemies from back then will not let it go!"
"Don't worry, Uncle. All the enemies of the Lu family have been annihilated. Moreover, even if there are greater forces behind them, I will gradually bring them to light!" Lu Fan revealed a cryptic smile. "I will absolutely not let them get away with it!"
"That would be for the best!" Yang Shihai nodded slightly. "By the way, how is your second uncle doing? We haven't been in touch since we were separated more than ten years ago!"
"Second Uncle has also opened a company in Chu Prefecture. Although it's not very large, he lives a comfortable life!" Lu Fan said directly. "In a while, I will inform him of the news, and then we can reunite. Grandmother will also be very happy!"
"Naturally, naturally!" Yang Shihai nodded solemnly. "I can't believe after so many years, I can still see you. It's just a pity about your parents..."
Lu Fan's fists clenched slightly. He harbored deep hatred for what happened back then, but unfortunately, he was powerless. After all, Lu Fan could not undo the tragedy from more than a decade ago.
However, Lu Fan was determined to track down everyone who had attacked the Lu family back then.
"It's been so long, let's not talk about it anymore!"
Yang Shiyun interjected, "The food is ready. Let's eat and talk. You can tell us everything you've been through all these years, Xiao Fan!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly and walked to the dining table. Long Yi, however, did not stand on ceremony and began to eat, appearing completely unfazed.
There hadn't been much to eat at Canglong Academy before, so he wouldn't pass up such a feast now.
Yang Shihai poured a glass of wine for Lu Fan. "Xiao Fan, what kind of company do you run in Longdu? I wonder if I've heard of it."
"It's just somewhat well-known, not a large company!" Lu Fan smiled slightly. "And it's all controlled by Lin Ke. I'm just a figurehead!"
"How can that be? As a man, you should shoulder responsibility. How can you let a woman manage the family business!" Yang Shihai frowned. "Moreover, the deep hatred of your blood feud is irreconcilable. If you can grow stronger, you will surely uncover the truth of that year!"
Lu Fan was somewhat helpless. He had already said that all the enemies who attacked the Lu family back then had been dealt with, but no matter what, Yang Shihai wouldn't believe him.
After all, the enemies from back then were too powerful; they were not ordinary people who could deal with them.
"Xiao Fan, with such powerful medical skills, you will surely hold a high position in the future!"
Yang Shiyun said, "Would you like me to have the company package you? Then you can become famous throughout Longdu and also meet more distinguished individuals!"
Gu Wen was burying his head in his food. Every time he heard them talking, he felt a bit awkward. Lu Fan held a prestigious position in Longguo and did not need any packaging at all.
Moreover, there were countless people who wanted to see Lu Fan for medical treatment, but very few could actually get Lu Fan to act.
Just as they were dining, Old Mr. Han walked in from outside, looking quite deferential. "Young man, what method did you use today? How were you able to bring someone back from the dead?"
"What, do you have an opinion?" Lu Fan glanced at him, his expression growing colder.
"Not at all, not at all!" Old Mr. Han quickly smiled. "This old man merely wishes to peek at your medical skills. In the entire world, only the divine physicians of Shenyi Pavilion can achieve such a feat!"
"However, it is rumored that the seven divine physicians of Shenyi Pavilion are all in seclusion and there are no younger generations!" Old Mr. Han stated directly. "If this is true, young man, are you perhaps a disciple of one of the seven divine physicians?"
"You underestimate my master too much!" Gu Wen smiled faintly. "Even if the seven divine physicians of Shenyi Pavilion were here, they would have to respectfully address you as 'Lord Lu'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Mr. Han trembled slightly. If Gu Wen had said this before, he would have completely ignored it. But now, he had no choice but to respond. He knew very well how terrifying the technique Lu Fan had just displayed was.
"Even the seven divine physicians of Shenyi Pavilion have to call you 'Lord Lu'?"
Yang Shiyun stood aside, her eyes filled with wonder. She was very curious about how profound Lu Fan's medical skills were, otherwise, why would he possess such a foundation?
"There are many divine physicians in the world, but Shenyi Pavilion is the head. Since young man, you are not a divine physician of Shenyi Pavilion, may I ask your lineage!" Old Mr. Han's expression was solemn.
"You are not worthy of knowing my lineage!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "There is no patient in this world that I cannot cure!"
Old Mr. Han trembled violently. Although Lu Fan's words were domineering, they were not without reason. He could only smile bitterly to himself.
After all, he had practiced medicine for 50 years, witnessed countless difficult and complicated diseases, and experienced numerous partings of life and death. Yet, he had never encountered someone like Lu Fan, whose medical skills were so formidable, filling him with awe.
As the saying goes, the capable are respected. In the medical field, what truly earns trust is medical skill.
