"I don't think you're simple at all, old man. How can you be homeless?" Lu Fan glanced at him, "Are you deliberately trying to trick me!"
"Look at what you're saying."
The eccentric old man rolled his eyes, "If I had a home, I wouldn't be following you. If you're unwilling, I'll leave now and save you the trouble."
"The old man is powerful, how could I be unwilling!" Lu Fan chuckled, "I was just saying."
The eccentric old man didn't respond. He was already drunk and unconscious, lying on the big locust tree, looking quite leisurely.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Lu Fan showed a helpless expression. He hadn't expected the old man to have such a leisurely day.
After helping the old man into the room, Lu Fan walked towards his own room, his expression growing more indifferent.
It was already late at night. Tomorrow, they would prepare to set off for Chu Prefecture.
Just then, Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly, and he looked out of the Gu family's courtyard, as if he had discovered something.
Outside the Gu family's courtyard, a certain aura had been drawing him. This aura made him unable to figure things out, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
Under normal circumstances, with Lu Fan's cultivation, he couldn't be influenced by others. For someone to be able to draw him in, their strength was likely not weak.
Following this aura, Lu Fan went directly to the forest, and at the same time, he looked forward. In front of the forest, a white-haired old man stood tall, his hair white and his posture straight.
"May I ask who you are, senior?" Lu Fan clasped his fists and said, "Why have you drawn me here!"
"You are very good!"
The white-haired old man smiled, looking at Lu Fan, "To have such courage at Baiyun Peak is truly a blessing for the Dragon Country."
"You flatter me, senior. It was just a small effort," Lu Fan waved his hand, "But it's probably not appropriate for you to play such mysterious games, is it!"
"I came to Zhong Prefecture mainly to see you," the white-haired old man smiled, "With someone like you in the Dragon Country, there is no need to worry about its future prosperity."
"While that may be true, it's probably not that simple," Lu Fan smiled, "Judging by your aura, senior, it's so sharp and prominent, I fear you come with ill intentions."
"When facing an enemy, one cannot hold back at all," the white-haired old man said directly, "If you can withstand ten moves, I will give you a pleasant surprise!"
"You flatter me, senior. I don't need any pleasant surprises," Lu Fan waved his hand, "As long as you don't make things difficult for me!"
The white-haired old man said no more and rushed directly towards Lu Fan, bringing gusts of strong wind wherever he passed, without any hesitation.
Sensing the powerful force, Lu Fan's expression instantly turned grim. The white-haired old man in front of him was by no means an ordinary person. If he truly intended to deal with him, Lu Fan would likely have no power to resist.
"Senior, with such strength, you are likely not an ordinary person. Why trouble a junior?" Lu Fan said directly, "If I have done anything improper, senior, you can tell me directly!"
"You have done very well. I just wanted to test your skill. I have no other intentions. You just need to respond with all your might," the white-haired old man said directly.
Lu Fan's face instantly turned ashen. He unleashed his ultimate techniques, but in front of the white-haired old man, he was still quite strained, which was enough to show the white-haired old man's strength.
As the white-haired old man continued to attack, Lu Fan's expression instantly turned grim. He naturally hadn't expected the white-haired old man to be so direct, even without any reservations.
"If I'm not mistaken, senior, you must be among the highest ranks of the Dragon Country," Lu Fan said directly, "But with your noble status, why use such methods? If this were to get out, wouldn't it damage your reputation?"
The white-haired old man pressed on, constantly rushing towards Lu Fan, his expression growing more indifferent, as if in his eyes, all of this was not worth mentioning.
As time passed, Lu Fan narrowly avoided ten moves. He nodded with satisfaction, "Even Long Aotian wouldn't be able to withstand ten moves from me. No wonder he has such combat power."
"Regardless, I have some debt of gratitude to the Dragon Country. Your actions, senior, are rather unpleasant," Lu Fan said directly, "To test someone's martial arts without their consent is not proper conduct."
The Fourth Elder was slightly stunned and suddenly looked at Lu Fan, "You have quite a big mouth, kid. There are not many people within the Dragon Country who dare to speak to me like this!"
"Senior's cultivation is profound, I am naturally no match for you. Perhaps the entire Dragon Country is in your hands," Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "But I must say what needs to be said. Are you still going to make a move on me? If this matter gets out, it might damage your reputation."
"You have quite a big mouth!" The Fourth Elder chuckled, "Aren't you afraid of what I might do to you? I am an elder of the Dragon Country. Under normal circumstances, even if I dealt with you, no one would be able to trouble me."
"Since you are an elder of the Dragon Country, you should think for the Dragon Country," Lu Fan smiled faintly, "Therefore, Elder, you would never do such a thing!"
"You are quite confident!" The Elder smiled faintly and said directly, "I like your personality. But then again, with such talent at your young age, have you ever thought of joining the Dragon Country?"
"I still don't have that idea," Lu Fan waved his hand, "It's not that I'm arrogant, I just don't want to be constrained. I hope the Elder can understand!"
"At such a young age, you should serve the Dragon Country. Otherwise, what is the point," the Elder said directly, his expression serious, "After all, you have the blood of the Dragon Country flowing through you."
"I can understand this point. Even if the Elder didn't say it, I would definitely agree," Lu Fan nodded solemnly, "But some things are probably not that simple. Even if I join the Dragon Country, I won't be able to achieve anything. But I have a patriotic heart. If the Dragon Country faces difficulties in the future, how can I not help!" Su Dan Novel Network
"That's well said, I like hearing it!" The Fourth Elder nodded solemnly, "In the future, when the Dragon Country faces difficulties, as a citizen of the Dragon Country, one should be loyal to the Dragon Country."
"The Elder saying this makes me feel you don't trust me, otherwise why would you be like this!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "But speaking of which, since things have come to this point, I'll be direct! No matter what happens in the future, I will never break ties with the Dragon Country, nor will I harm the interests of the Dragon Country. This is my most basic principle as a citizen of the Dragon Country!"
The Fourth Elder nodded with satisfaction, "Having a young talent like you is a blessing for our Dragon Country!"
"Elder Four, you praise me too much," Lu Fan waved his hand, appearing indifferent.
At this moment, the Fourth Elder looked at the sky and then said with a smile, "It's getting late. I am very satisfied with you. You said you want to go to the Outer Realm Battlefield. It's extremely dangerous there!"
