After a long wait, Lin Aotian found a moment when no one was around and went to Lin Ke's side: "Have you thought it through? Lord Lu's character is unknown. If you marry him, it might not be the best choice!"
"Dad, don't worry. Lord Lu won't do anything to me!" Lin Ke smiled. "You don't need to worry too much! Since it's my choice, I won't be wrong."
Lin Aotian was stunned and didn't know what to say. Lin Ke's certainty made him even more confused. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be like this.
"Dad, just rest assured!" Lin Ke smiled again. "I will never regret it!"
"Since it's your decision, Dad won't ask too many questions!" Lin Aotian nodded. "But if you marry Lord Lu, what about him?"
"Actually, Lord Lu is Lu Fan!" Lin Ke said seriously. "He is the one who wants to marry me!"
Lin Aotian's body trembled. He never expected that Lin Ke would tell such a lie just to marry Lord Lu.
"Since you've made up your mind, your father won't make things difficult for you!" Lin Aotian turned away.
In fact, he could also understand that Lin Ke had been lonely and helpless since childhood. Now that she was valued by Lord Lu of Jiangnan, it was a rare opportunity.
Meanwhile, in a courtyard in Jiangbei, Lu Fan was watering flowers when several figures strode over. Su Dan Novel Network
"My Lord, the betrothal gifts have been delivered!" Han Yunhai cupped his fists. "Should we prepare for the wedding?"
"Indeed!"
Lu Fan nodded. "This time, you go back to Jiangnan and help me with the wedding preparations. I will personally return soon!"
"We obey!"
Han Yunhai quickly cupped his fists. The situation in Jiangnan was now stable. With Lord Lu's name, the Azure Dragon Sect controlled the economic lifeline of Jiangnan, making them the sole dominant power.
With Lu Fan's financial strength, even in the country, he was someone who could shake the nation with a mere move.
"By the way, I have some newly refined pills here. Take these pills back!" Lu Fan took out a batch of pills. "Send someone to gather many martial arts experts and form a martial arts force!"
Han Yunhai's body trembled. "My Lord, have you finally made up your mind?"
"Yes!" Lu Fan nodded. "Chuzhou is a place of trouble. After the wedding, I will step into it to find the person behind the scenes. If I don't have martial arts experts, wouldn't it be too tiring to fight alone?"
"But... with just these pills, can they really make those martial arts experts submit?" Han Yunhai said awkwardly. "After all, many martial arts experts are arrogant!"
"These pills are called Qi Nourishing Pills. After taking them, martial artists can permanently increase their strength!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Even peak martial arts experts have a chance to become Grandmasters after taking these pills!"
"So miraculous?" Han Yunhai was astonished. "If that's true, it will definitely attract many martial arts experts!"
"The sect that is formed will be called the Azure Cloud Sect!" Lu Fan said directly. "In addition to military strength, their backgrounds must also be investigated!"
"My Lord, rest assured, I will not disappoint you!"
Han Yunhai nodded solemnly. With such pills, forming a sect would be as easy as pie.
In Jiangbei, the news spread instantly that Lord Lu of Jiangnan was going to marry the illegitimate daughter of the Lin family, which made many forces look forward to it.
Meanwhile, in the Yun family courtyard in Jiangdong, Yun Qingshan looked at the elders whose cultivation had been abolished and was furious: "How dare they lay such a wicked hand on my Yun family!"
"Uncle Grandfather, it's all my fault for being useless!" Yun Bei said guiltily. "If my strength were enough, this would never have happened!"
"You, as a direct descendant of the Yun family in Jiangdong, were also severely injured!" Yun Qingshan's expression was cold. "The Han family of Jiangbei has quite a bit of nerve!"
"If it were just the Han family of Jiangdong, how could they have injured us!" a white-haired elder said. "We were all injured by one person! I don't know what his connection is with the Han family!"
"In Jiangbei, besides the Han family, who else could have injured you like this?"
Yun Qingshan said coldly, with authority emanating from him. As a Grandmaster of the Yun family, his aura and strength were enough to make everyone fear him.
"This..." the elders looked at each other. "We don't know either!"
"Hmph, this matter all started with the Han family. Since they don't know their place, I will fulfill their wish!" Yun Qingshan said directly. "Within three days, I will flatten the Han family of Jiangbei!"
Yun Bei showed joy. Having suffered such humiliation, if the Han family could be dealt with, it would naturally relieve his hatred.
"Elder Yun, this matter might not be appropriate!" a white-haired elder said. "After all, that person is quite mysterious. He is so young yet has reached the Grandmaster level. He might have a significant background!"
"Grandmaster?" Yun Qingshan was surprised. "So young, yet possesses the means of a Grandmaster?"
"Yes!" another elder nodded. "Although we cannot be certain, it is highly likely!"
"Hmph, if that's the case, I will go and meet him personally!" Yun Qingshan said coldly.
"Uncle Grandfather, should we wait for my grandfather to go with us?" Yun Bei asked. "With two Grandmasters going, they will surely sweep away everything!"
"No need. The family head is still in seclusion!" Yun Qingshan waved his hand. "To deal with a mere Han family, why would we need two Grandmasters!"
Yun Bei nodded slightly and dared not ask more.
Indeed, with one Grandmaster taking action, what problem couldn't be solved?
Three days later, several figures surged from Jiangdong towards Jiangbei.
In the Han family courtyard in Jiangbei, Old Master Han stood and looked at the many clansmen of the Han family: "Ten years ago, the Yun family wanted to annex the Han family. Now that the Yun family's experts are coming, it will surely be a bloody battle!"
"Defend the family, we will not hesitate to die!"
The Han family members were indignant. The Yun family had bullied the Han family for many years and had always wanted to annex them. Now that they had found an opportunity, how could they give up easily?
"Family head, if we inform Mr. Lu about this, perhaps we can resolve the family's crisis!" Elder Zhou said. "With the Han family alone, how can we oppose the Yun family!"
"This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Lu!" the Han family head said directly. "This is our Han family's affair, and Mr. Lu must not be involved!"
At this point, the Han family head's eyes were serious. Lu Fan had already fallen out with the Yun family for the sake of the Han family. If he came, it would likely bring endless trouble.
Elder Zhou wanted to say something but finally remained silent. He knew the patriarch's character well.
The courtyard was filled with a resolute aura, while outside the courtyard, there was a murderous intent and an endless aura that made people unable to control themselves.
Within a hundred meters of the Han family courtyard, everything had been sealed off. The Yun family of Jiangdong would not easily let this matter go.
The courtyard gate was torn open, and the Yun family members swarmed in, confronting the many martial arts experts of the Han family, with murderous intent in their eyes.
The Yun family, led by Yun Qingshan, exuded an overbearing aura.
"Family head Han, it's been many years, how have you been?" Yun Qingshan sneered. "I've missed you dearly!"
