"Lu kid, let this matter end here!"
The Fourth Elder said solemnly, "Knowing some things is not necessarily better than not knowing!"
"Yes! Now that your great revenge is achieved, you should be happy. Don't think about other things!" The Seventh Elder said softly.
"The elders are all evasive. I'm afraid this matter is not simple!"
Lu Fan chuckled softly, "I will never let this matter go. If there are others behind Ruo Luo, I will find them out one by one!"
"You kid, why bother!" The Ninth Elder said, "Many things may not be as we think. Du Qianqiu's words may not be true. Perhaps he wants you to have enmity with Canglong Academy and is maliciously stirring up trouble!"
"I will investigate the truth clearly!"
Lu Fan's expression was solemn, "But I want to know the specific situation of Canglong Academy!"
"Lu kid, we are all exhausted after just experiencing a battle!"
The Seventh Elder smiled, "Why don't you ask us these questions another day!"
Lu Fan was a little helpless. He could clearly feel that the elders were unwilling to tell him the truth.
"Lu kid, we are all for your own good!"
The Fourth Elder said, "We hope you can understand our good intentions and don't continue to investigate. Let this matter end here. Your clan's great revenge has been avenged, and you no longer need to dwell on hatred."
"Thank you for the reminder, elders!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists, his expression turning calm, as if he really didn't intend to inquire further.
After Lu Fan left, the elders frowned.
"I don't know if Lu kid will listen. If this matter is really related to Canglong Academy, it's not something we can stop!" The Ninth Elder said.
"Canglong Academy has many experts and is above the Dragon Kingdom. If Lu kid really has enmity with them, his life will be in danger!" The Fourth Elder said, "I just hope Lu kid can be safe. He has done so much for the Dragon Kingdom, and nothing should happen to him."
"Don't worry, Fourth Elder. Lu kid is blessed by heaven and will be fine!"
The Seventh Elder said, his words more serious. He knew very well that some things were possible and some were not. Lu Fan's progress was not just due to his strength.
As soon as he returned to Jiangjing Longting, Lu Fan saw everyone waiting. Lin Ke even threw herself into Lu Fan's arms, her heart filled with worry.
"It's okay, everything is fine now!"
Lu Fan patted Lin Ke's shoulder, "I've dealt with them. Little Ke, are you hurt anywhere?"
"No, if you hadn't arrived in time, I might never have seen you again!" Lin Ke's eyes were serious.
"Silly girl, it's all my fault!"
Lu Fan's expression was serious, "From now on, you will stay by my side, and I will protect you at all times, ensuring nothing happens to you!"
"You have your own things to do, I won't bother you!"
Lin Ke said seriously, "Besides, I have my own things too!"
"Cough cough... We are all here, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to show so much affection!"
Jiang Meili coughed a few times and looked at others. Bai Huaxue was also envious. To receive so much care from Lu Fan was enough to make many women jealous.
"My Lord, Du Qianqiu is dead, and the Lu family's great revenge has been avenged. You can finally put your mind at ease!"
Han Yunhai cupped his fists, "Shall we have a drink tonight? At least let's drink to our heart's content!"
"Naturally!"
Lu Fan nodded, "Prepare a banquet tonight, and we won't return until we're drunk at Jiangjing Longting!"
"I'll go notify others!"
Gu Wen quickly smiled. They had worked hard during this time, and now that they finally had some leisure, they naturally had to enjoy it.
However, at this moment, although Lu Fan appeared calm on the surface, his heart was still filled with many matters. He knew very well that Du Qianqiu was not the mastermind behind the scenes, and perhaps his Lu family was indeed related to some forces.
It just surprised him that the Lu family was just an ordinary family, so how could they be involved with Canglong Academy? And who leaked the Lu family's heirloom, the Star Meteorite?
Lu Fan was very interested in all of this, but the elders did not tell him, and Lu Fan could do nothing about it.
As night fell, many experts from Qingyun Sect arrived, and they drank and talked merrily. The Cangqiong Kingdom had not made any moves for a long time, likely due to fear. The Dragon Kingdom's peace was thanks to the many experts from Qingyun Sect.
"Brothers of Qingyun Sect, as the master of Qingyun Sect, I have been remiss in my duties to you. Since you joined Qingyun Sect, I have never truly managed it, but every time you charged into battle, you were my role models!"
Lu Fan held a bowl of wine and looked at the people of Qingyun Sect.
"If it weren't for Lord Lu, we wouldn't have been bound together like a rope, nor would we have become heroes!" A martial artist said, "Now, no matter where we go, as long as we say we are from Qinglong Sect, we will be respected by everyone. We have never had such honor before!"
"This honor was earned with your blood!"
Lu Fan said solemnly, "You should also understand what this honor represents!"
"We swear to defend the Dragon Kingdom with our lives, and we will not hesitate to be smashed into pieces!"
Many experts from Qingyun Sect spoke out, their passion high.
Lu Fan also drank the bowl of wine in his hand, appearing quite heroic.
When the banquet was almost over, Lu Fan asked Han Yunhai to come to the room, his expression becoming solemn.
"Everyone outside is drinking, and you asked me to come. Is there something important?"
Han Yunhai asked in surprise, "If that's the case, Lord, just say it!"
"I want you to investigate what's going on with Canglong Academy!"
Lu Fan said, "Report all specific information to me!"
"Canglong Academy?"
Han Yunhai was slightly embarrassed, "It's most convenient to ask the elders of the Dragon Kingdom about this matter. Why didn't you ask?"
"If they were willing to answer, why would I be like this!"
Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "But it's not their fault. They are doing this to protect me. But if this matter is not clarified, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep or eat!"
"Don't worry, Lord. I'll go investigate now. As soon as there's any clue, I'll report it to you!" Han Yunhai said repeatedly.
Lu Fan nodded slightly. He was now free, but this matter was of great importance and related to his Lu family's secrets.
In the following days, Lin Ke recovered and returned to work as usual, with Jiang Meili by her side. Lu Fan was quite relieved.
Lu Fan was very leisurely, cultivating in seclusion in the garden every day, and gradually absorbing spiritual energy. Previously, his strength was low, and he only cultivated internal energy. But now that Lu Fan was about to break through to the Battle Emperor realm, he naturally had to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was too scarce, and Lu Fan had been unable to break through to the Battle Emperor realm for a long time.
