"What should we do now?"
Princess Linglong was a little anxious. She had a high opinion of Lu Fan, otherwise she wouldn't have been like this. She felt a bit self-reproachful. If she hadn't been so arrogant just now, she wouldn't have put herself in this position.
"We can only wait and see," Xiao Qing said helplessly. "If the Princess truly has feelings for him, she must be careful with her words in the future and must not offend him!"
"I am the dignified Princess Linglong, when have I ever bowed to anyone?"
Princess Linglong said angrily, but she was helpless. Lu Fan had left so freely, which made her even more upset. How could the dignified princess of the White Dragon Dynasty be treated like this?
Xiao Qing stood by, feeling very helpless and not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Lu Fan had already arrived at the training ground, but his gaze fell on a figure in front of him: "It's a narrow road for enemies, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
"I came specifically to wait for you!"
Bai Hu chuckled, "The future son-in-law of the White Dragon Dynasty!"
"Came specifically to wait for me?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "Do you want to make a move within the imperial city? The people of the Eighth Prince's Mansion shouldn't be so stupid, right?"
"The people of the Eighth Prince's Mansion are certainly not that stupid!" Bai Hu smiled faintly. "I am not someone who doesn't know what's good for him. I am about to become the son-in-law of the White Dragon Dynasty. How about we let bygones be bygones? You be the son-in-law, and I'll be the heir. What do you think?"
"It's truly rare!" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "It's very difficult for these words to come from your mouth. However, who will bear the responsibility for the North Sea Academy massacre?"
"That matter was indeed handled improperly by me. I have already prepared a banquet at the Phoenix Pavilion. If you are willing, I can apologize with wine!" Bai Hu said with a serious expression.
"I think we should forget it!"
Lu Fan shook his head. "What I want is not an apology, but to pay the price. I have already marked your head, Bai Hu, in my heart. One day, you will die by my hand!"
"Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" Bai Hu said coldly. "Let alone a future son-in-law, even a true son-in-law, I can send him to hell!"
"Is that so? If you have such ability, why not try it." Lu Fan smiled faintly, showing no concern.
How could Lu Fan associate with Bai Hu, who was behind the North Sea Academy massacre? How could Lu Fan not care about such a deep-seated hatred?
After Lu Fan left, Bai Hu stood in place, his expression even colder. He never expected Lu Fan to be so uncooperative and not take their Eighth Prince's Mansion seriously at all.
"Young Master, this matter is very tricky!"
Elder Tian reminded him. Once Lu Fan became the son-in-law, he would pose a great threat to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and it might even stir up trouble.
"Don't worry, I have my own decisions!"
Bai Hu waved his hand. "When will the Azure Dragon arrive?"
"He should arrive at the imperial city in a few more days!" Elder Tian nodded. "But Young Master should know that this matter is not trivial. Making a move within the imperial city, once you fail, will cause endless trouble. His identity is special now."
"You also know that his identity is special now. If he truly becomes the son-in-law in the future and becomes my enemy, how will I deal with it?"
Bai Hu smiled faintly. "So the best way now is to eliminate him, and thus remove future troubles."
Elder Tian stood by, feeling a little helpless. Bai Hu's actions, if not handled properly, might implicate the entire Eighth Prince's Mansion.
Elder Tian had no doubt about this. Lu Fan's identity was unusual now, and he was likely to rise gradually in the future.
As soon as he left the imperial palace, Lin Jianyi came before Lu Fan. "Congratulations! Future son-in-law of the White Dragon Dynasty."
"I am not some son-in-law!" Lu Fan smiled slightly. "At least not yet."
"You will be soon!"
Lin Chuchu smiled. "We must not go home until we are drunk tonight. This is great news."
"That's what I was thinking!" Lu Fan nodded slightly.
Not long after, the few of them arrived at the Phoenix Pavilion, the most luxurious restaurant in the entire imperial city. Lin Jianyi had even booked a private room. He was so generous this time because he wanted to curry favor with Lu Fan.
Lu Fan was now the prospective son-in-law of the White Dragon Dynasty, and he would be the true son-in-law in the future. With such a powerful backer, he would be able to hold his head high wherever he went.
"Brother Lu, I'll toast you!" Lin Jianyi raised his wine glass. "Don't forget us in the future."
"Look at what you're saying!" Lu Fan gave a wry smile. "I'm not that snobbish. Besides, I may not necessarily become the son-in-law!"
"This is already a foregone conclusion!" Lin Jianyi smiled faintly. "Brother Lu, please don't be so modest."
Lu Fan sat aside, feeling helpless but not saying much.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared outside the private room. "Brother Lu, I also want to invite you for a drink, but I didn't expect someone to get here first."
"So it's Brother Lin!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly. "Why are you here too?"
"We are all very happy that Brother Lu is becoming the son-in-law of the White Dragon Dynasty,"
Lin Guoping smiled. "Of course, I came to offer my congratulations."
"You've said it right!"
Lin Jianyi said frankly, "We are all friends, why don't we drink together!"
Lin Guoping didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly, showing a smile.
"By the way, Brother Lu, be careful in the future!"
Lin Guoping said, "Zhao Tianyun is not someone to be trifled with. Since he harbors ill will towards you, he will not give up. At that time, Brother Lu will be in danger."
"This is the imperial city!"
Lin Jianyi was surprised. "Even if the Zhao family has great power, they wouldn't dare to assassinate the son-in-law, would they?"
"That's not right!"
Lin Guoping shook his head. "The Zhao family has immense power. Since he is at odds with the son-in-law, why can't he kill him? Moreover, Brother Lu has not yet become the son-in-law, which is the best opportunity to act!"
Everyone present was slightly surprised, only Lu Fan was drinking wine by the side, appearing calm and composed. "If he really wants to kill me, he'll have to show his skills! If the Zhao family dares to do so, I will never let it go."
"That may be so, but Brother Lu, please be careful!"
Lin Guoping said again, his expression becoming solemn. He seemed to have come specifically to mention this matter.
"Thank you for your reminder, Brother Lin. I will definitely pay attention to this matter!"
Lu Fan clasped his fists, his expression also becoming solemn. He would naturally not be negligent in the slightest.
"I really didn't expect that, being the young masters of the three great families, their personalities would be so different." Lin Chuchu smiled, feeling quite favorably towards Lin Pingguo.
Being a young master but without the arrogance of a young master was the most rare and precious thing, and a height that many people could not reach.
