Bai Hua Xue frowned, he hadn't noticed how attentive Jiang Mei Li was to Lu Fan.
"If you can stay at this girl's house, it would be quite convenient!" the Lord of Juling City smiled. "I have been friends with the Bai Hua family for generations, and if anything happens, we can look out for each other."
"Yes! Lord Lu, please don't refuse!"
Bai Hua Xue said repeatedly, "The Bai Hua family is one of the three great families in Juling Country, and we will never disgrace you, my Lord."
"The rest doesn't matter. If we really go to the Bai Hua family, wouldn't that be too much of a disturbance!" Lu Fan said frankly.
"My father is an extremely hospitable person. The more people, the livelier it is, how could it be a disturbance!" Bai Hua Xue said repeatedly.
"Since that is the case, then thank you!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. They were unfamiliar with Juling City, and if there was any news from the Juling Headquarters, staying at the Bai Hua family would allow them to know as soon as possible.
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Bai Hua Xue said with a smile, secretly glancing at the Lord of Juling City with a look of triumph.
After Lu Fan left, the Lord of Juling City set off for the Juling Headquarters without daring to delay. 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 great families in Juling Country. The courtyard was extremely vast and looked quite luxurious.
"This is the Bai Hua Mansion?" Han Qiu Shui exclaimed. "This is too luxurious!"
"It's alright!" Bai Hua Xue said casually. "After all, we are from one of the three great families in Juling Country, so we naturally need some presence!"
"Is the Bai Hua family head here?"
Lu Fan called out, "As this is my first visit to the Bai Hua family, I should pay my respects. Otherwise, wouldn't it be impolite!"
"Lord Lu, don't worry. My father is quite polite. If he knows you are coming, he will be extremely happy!" Bai Hua Xue smiled.
Just then, a middle-aged man in magnificent attire walked over, looking puzzled. "Xiao Xue, who are these people?"
"Father, this is Lord Lu from Long Country!"
Bai Hua Xue introduced, "I saw his demeanor in the Outer Domain battlefield!"
"Lord Lu of Long Country?"
Bai Li Liu Yun was surprised. "It is rumored that Lord Lu of Long Country can contend against a thousand soldiers. Seeing him today, he indeed has such presence!"
"You flatter me, Senior!" Lu Fan smiled.
"Father, why are you still standing there!" Bai Hua Xue urged. "Quickly order the kitchen to prepare a feast to entertain Lord Lu tonight!"
"Yes, yes!"
Bai Li Liu Yun said repeatedly, "Sister Liu, go and prepare a table of food and wine. It must be of the highest standard!"
Sister Liu heard this and quickly nodded, not daring to delay.
As one of the three great families, the Bai Li family was impeccable in terms of wealth and 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. "This visit is just to stay for a while!"
"It's just a simple meal, what's the big deal about spending money!"
Bai Li Xue said earnestly, "Lord Lu, now that you have come to Juling Country, if the Bai Li family fails to entertain you properly, how will our Bai Li family be able to conduct ourselves in the future!"
Lu Fan was rendered speechless by her words and could only comply.
When the banquet began, Bai Li Liu Yun personally poured wine for Lu Fan. "Lord Lu, your killing of many strong individuals from Cang Qiong Country is truly gratifying. Tonight, I must drink with you until we are both intoxicated!"
"If others do not offend me, I will not offend them!" Lu Fan said frankly. "If they hadn't pushed me too far, I wouldn't have been so fierce!"
"That is natural!"
Bai Hua Liu Yun nodded. "May I ask if Lord Lu is married? Such a young and handsome man, I wonder if my Xiao Xue has this fortune!"
"Lord Lu is already married."
Jiang Mei Li quickly said, "Family Head Bai Li, you 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 said with a blush. "You're making me lose face!"
"Am I not just asking for clarity!"
Bai Li Liu Yun glanced at her. "If the water is good, it shouldn't flow to outsiders. If Lord Lu were unmarried, I would think you two are quite a match."
Bai Hua Xue remained silent. Even though Lu Fan was already married, her nascent feelings for him would not easily recede.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward. Bai Li Liu Yun suddenly laughed. "Lord Lu, you are so young yet you can roam freely in the Outer Domain battlefield. May I know what level your strength has reached!"
"What, Family Head Bai Li wants to test me?" Lu Fan said frankly. "If that's the case, we can spar!"
"Lord Lu is not joking?" Bai Li Liu Yun asked seriously. "I am quite inclined to do so!"
"I had already seen it!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Please, Senior, bestow your guidance!"
Bai Li Liu Yun was delighted and stepped towards Lu Fan. He wanted to see what level Lu Fan's strength had reached.
To be able to roam freely in the Outer Domain battlefield, one was certainly not an ordinary person. As the head of one of the three great families in Juling Country, he naturally wanted to understand this.
"Father, be careful if you make a move!" Jiang Mei Li called out. "Lord Lu's strength is not simple!"
"Don't worry, Father has also been through many battles!"
Bai Li Liu Yun smiled and looked at Lu Fan. "Lord Lu, make your move!"
Lu Fan said no more, stomping his foot on the ground. A powerful aftershock instantly swept out. He did not know his own strength, nor had he used his full power.
Feeling the formidable power, Bai Li Liu Yun trembled slightly. Lu Fan appeared to be the youngest, but the techniques he displayed were enough to make him wary.
He saw him retreat a few steps, and he also unleashed a powerful internal force, surging towards Lu Fan. At that very moment, the two internal forces collided.
Boom...
With a loud bang, the aftershock in the entire courtyard did not dissipate. Everyone dodged, their faces filled with horror.
The出手 of such powerful beings was indeed extraordinary. The two figures remained unmoved, and the entire Bai Li Mansion was almost reduced to ruins, striking fear into people's hearts.
"I admit defeat!"
Family Head Bai Li smiled. "Lord Lu truly surprises me!"
"Family Head Bai Li, you are too kind!"
Lu Fan chuckled. "The duel just now was evenly matched; it seems we are on par!"
"Lord Lu, you held back. I could tell!"
Family Head Bai Li said frankly. "If Lord Lu had used his full strength, I might not have been able to withstand it!"
"If that's what Family Head Bai Li says, then Family Head Bai Li probably didn't use his full strength either!" Lu Fan said frankly. "I should be correct in saying that, shouldn't I!"
"Nothing can escape Lord Lu's keen eyes!" Family Head Bai Li nodded slightly. "Even so, if we were to truly fight, I would still not be Lord Lu's opponent!"
"I think you two should stop being modest!" Bai Hua Xue said with a wry smile. "Let's just call it a draw! So you two don't have to be so conflicted!"
"This suggestion is good!" Gu Wen nodded. "I think it's a draw!"
