After this battle, the only ancestor of the Jiang family also perished on the spot, which caused quite a stir in Zhongzhou.
However, Lu Fan was still the victor, which significantly boosted his reputation.
Meanwhile, at the Gu family's residence, Old Master Gu personally brewed medicine for Lu Fan. After Lu Fan drank it, everyone waited nearby, filled with concern.
"You don't need to be so worried. I am not seriously injured," Lu Fan said. "Although the Jiang family ancestor was powerful, he was still no match for me!"
"Master, please don't say that. You really scared me today," Han Qiushui exclaimed. "I've never witnessed such a terrifying scene. Fortunately, Master won, otherwise..."
"Of course, I wouldn't lose," Lu Fan smiled. "Besides, the Jiang family ancestor was not weak. Reaching such a state was already quite difficult."
"The aura emanating from the Jiang family ancestor likely reached the peak of the Great Power realm," Gu Family Head stated. "For Lord Lu to be able to kill him, your strength is probably not inferior!" Su Dan Novel Network
The others also looked over. If Lu Fan could kill someone at the peak of the Battle Spirit realm, it meant his strength had reached an extremely high level, and there were probably few opponents for him in the entire Dragon Country.
"Gu Family Head, you're not trying to trick me, are you?" Lu Fan smiled faintly.
"How dare I, how dare I!" Gu Family Head quickly shook his head. "Lord Lu is no ordinary person; how could I dare to be disrespectful? I was merely curious, which is why I spoke."
"Actually, I don't even know what realm I have reached," Lu Fan shrugged. "If his strength truly reached the peak of the Battle Spirit realm, then I must also possess that level of strength."
Upon receiving Lu Fan's confirmation, everyone present was shocked. They had not expected Lu Fan's true combat power to be so terrifying, sending a chill down their spines.
"Alright, Master just finished a major battle and needs to rest."
Han Qiushui spoke, "You should all leave for now!"
Everyone nodded slightly and left Lu Fan's room. The events of today would likely shake the entire Zhongzhou and cause endless turmoil, but these were not significant matters for Lu Fan.
At the same time, in a hotel in Zhongzhou, a woman's face was grim, unsure of what to do, as if something had happened.
"Yalan, the Shen family cannot afford to offend anyone when performing in Zhongzhou," one woman said. "But if we are invited tomorrow, our reputation might be at stake!"
"I've heard that the Young Master of the Shen family is notorious for his womanizing ways, and many celebrities have fallen victim to him," Lin Yalan nodded. "If we accept the invitation tomorrow night, he definitely won't let us go. Sister Nineteen, do you have any ideas?"
Nineteen frowned, "I've already used many connections, but unfortunately, they are still useless. The Shen family is a martial arts family. Although not very famous in Zhongzhou, they are definitely not someone we can afford to offend."
"What if they are a martial arts family? If they bully us too much, they'll regret it," Lin Yalan said proudly. "My brother-in-law is also a martial arts expert, and a very powerful one at that."
As she said this, Lin Yalan's face flushed. By rights, Lu Fan was indeed her brother-in-law, but she did not get along well with Lin Ke. If she actually found Lu Fan, he might not necessarily help her.
"How have I never heard of this?" Nineteen asked in surprise. "You have such a powerful brother-in-law?"
"Of course. Before, in Jiangnan, he was quite influential," Lin Yalan nodded seriously. "It's a pity this is Zhongzhou, and he's not here. Otherwise, with just one word from me, he would definitely help me out."
"What a pity!" Nineteen frowned. "Young Master Shen's influence spans across Zhongzhou. If he targets us two now, he has more than enough power. If we go against his wishes, we will be detained in Zhongzhou."
"Then what should we do now?" Lin Yalan asked worriedly. "I don't want anything to happen to me!"
"Why don't you call your brother-in-law? Your sister isn't a martial artist, and the Shen family is also involved in martial arts. If they communicate, perhaps this trouble can be resolved," Nineteen suggested seriously.
"This..."
Lin Yalan was somewhat hesitant. Not to mention that Lu Fan was not in Zhongzhou, but even if he were, she might not be able to persuade him, as Lu Fan had always disliked their branch of the family.
Especially her brother, who had almost caused Lin Ke's death, and Lu Fan harbored resentment.
"What? Is it very difficult?" Nineteen asked awkwardly. "Perhaps we should forget it and act according to the situation at the banquet tomorrow."
"Sister Nineteen, I'm really not lying to you," Lin Yalan said earnestly. "My brother-in-law's name is Lu Fan, Lord Lu of Jiangnan, and he is quite famous in Jiangnan!"
At this point, Lin Yalan became anxious. From Sister Nineteen's eyes, she could clearly feel disbelief, otherwise, Lin Yalan wouldn't be so agitated.
"Lord Lu of Jiangnan!" Nineteen trembled. "If that's true, then we are saved."
"But my relationship with my brother-in-law is not good," Lin Yalan said awkwardly. "He is far away in Jiangnan, and it's too late now."
"You might not know this! Zhongzhou has been turbulent recently, with many experts emerging in the martial arts world, including the rumored Lord Lu," Nineteen said repeatedly. "I heard he is currently at the Gu family."
"The Gu family? The ancient family in Zhongzhou?" Lin Yalan was somewhat skeptical.
"That's right. If you go to the Gu family, you will definitely be able to see your brother-in-law," Nineteen said repeatedly.
She didn't understand martial arts, but a few days ago, while drinking with someone, she heard many interesting stories, including one about Lu Fan, which is how she knew Lu Fan was staying at the Gu family.
"Even if I can see him, he might not help me," Lin Yalan shook her head. "I'll find a way myself."
"He is your brother-in-law after all. How could he stand by and watch? Moreover, he is Lord Lu of Jiangnan. If what you said is true, this matter is not a big deal for him," Nineteen said repeatedly.
Lin Yalan was tempted. Even if Lu Fan disliked her branch of the family, they were still family, and he wouldn't refuse to help.
Thinking of this, Lin Yalan gritted her teeth. "In that case, I will go to the Gu family tonight."
"I'll accompany you!" Nineteen quickly said. "I'll give you some courage."
Lin Yalan nodded seriously. She was unsure if Lu Fan would turn her away, but this matter endangered her reputation. Young Master Shen was not a good person, and if she went to the appointment tomorrow, she might not have a good outcome.
By nighttime, in the Gu family's courtyard, Lu Fan could walk around freely as if he were completely fine, as if the injuries he sustained today had already been completely healed.
"Master, do you feel unwell?" Gu Wen asked.
"My medical skills are no less than yours. If there were any real problems, how could I get out of bed so easily?" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Don't worry about me!"
