"Old sir, you flatter me!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, then left the fighting arena and headed towards the central area of Baishui City. His trip to Baishui City had already taken up a lot of time. Once he settled down, Lu Fan also needed to improve his strength so that he could forge a golden body for Lin Ke as quickly as possible.
Not long after, Lu Fan arrived at the Bai family's doorstep. Looking at the tall plaque of the Bai family, he walked towards the main gate.
"Stop! This is the Bai family residence, who are you?"
The gatekeeper spoke, looking at Lu Fan vigilantly.
"I'm looking for Miss Bai!"
Lu Fan chuckled, "Please help me inform her."
"My young lady is a lady of noble birth, not just anyone can meet her at will!" the gatekeeper said coldly, "Moreover, who are you? Why do you want to see my young lady? If you don't explain clearly, leave immediately, otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Lu Fan frowned. He hadn't expected the Bai family's guards to be so overbearing and so unforgiving.
"I've come to return the money!"
Lu Fan said directly, "Go and inform her, your young lady will naturally understand!"
The gatekeeper was skeptical and then walked into the courtyard. After all, it wasn't good for him to directly dismiss Lu Fan. If he was Bai Xiaoqing's friend, wouldn't he have made a huge mistake?
"This Bai mansion is truly grand!"
Lin Ke exclaimed, "No wonder this Bai Xiaoqing is so generous, able to lend ten taels of silver so casually!"
"It is indeed quite wealthy!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, "To live in this central area, they must not be an ordinary family. Within Baishui City, the Bai family must also have a certain status."
As they were talking, Bai Xiaoqing came out from inside. Upon seeing Lu Fan, her face lit up with joy, "I didn't expect you to actually come. It seems I didn't misjudge you!"
"A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring. Since I borrowed the silver, how could I not come!"
Lu Fan said directly, and at the same time, he took out the silver.
Bai Xiaoqing smiled, "I'm already very happy that you came. You don't need to return this silver, after all, this thing is not important to me."
"It may not be important to you, but it is very important to me!"
Lu Fan said seriously, "So you must accept this silver!"
Bai Xiaoqing looked embarrassed, and then she accepted the silver, "You traveled all this way just to deliver these ten taels of silver. You cannot leave casually today. I specifically asked someone to prepare a banquet, you cannot refuse."
"This is probably not appropriate!"
Lu Fan smiled awkwardly. Regardless, this was the Bai family, and he was the one who borrowed the money. Returning it now was only natural, and it wouldn't be good to feast at the Bai family.
"Although we have only met once, we are now friends!"
Bai Xiaoqing smiled, "How can I let you leave so easily? Besides, I just heard you came to return the money, and I've already sent someone to prepare. If you leave like this, wouldn't it make my Bai family look bad!"
"Alright, in that case, I will have a meal at the Bai family before leaving!"
Lu Fan nodded, feeling a bit helpless. Originally, after returning the money, he planned to look around Baishui City to see if he could find Long Yi and others, but now it seemed he would be delayed again.
Entering the Bai mansion, Lu Fan looked at the dazzling array of furniture with envy. These pieces of furniture were extraordinary, and coupled with the various furnishings within the Bai mansion, they were quite exquisite.
"Young lady, is there something you need? Wei Ke asked me to come personally?"
The burly man walked over and cupped his fists.
"See who it is!"
Bai Xiaoqing smiled, "You said back then that he wouldn't come to repay. The world is full of dangers, but it seems that's not the case!"
"So it's you, kid!"
The burly man smiled awkwardly, "It seems I was wrong, I ultimately misjudged!"
"It is only right and proper to repay debts!"
Lu Fan said directly, "However, this Bai family seems to have a significant status in Baishui City!"
"You're not wrong about that, kid!"
The burly man nodded, "In the entire Baishui City, the Bai family's influence is extremely widespread. Ordinary powers have to be respectful to the Bai family. It's your good fortune that you could borrow ten taels of silver from my young lady!"
"A guest is a guest, burly man, don't speak nonsense!"
Bai Xiaoqing glared, "Has my father arrived?"
"Your father has arrived!"
The head of the Bai family walked over and chuckled, "Who is this distinguished guest today that makes you so agitated?"
"My father, he is the one who owes me ten taels of silver!"
Bai Xiaoqing said proudly, "He has already returned the ten taels of silver to me, and you lost our bet!"
The head of the Bai family was slightly stunned, then looked at Lu Fan. He was somewhat shocked, as with his strength, he couldn't see through Lu Fan's cultivation.
After all, he was a Spirit Master. As long as someone was below the Spirit Master realm, or just an ordinary person, he could see through them at a glance. But only Lu Fan, he couldn't see through. Su Dan Novel Network
"Father, what are you looking at? The guest is here, why aren't you entertaining them properly!" Bai Xiaoqing frowned.
The head of the Bai family reacted and quickly said, "It was my oversight just now, little brother, please don't be offended!"
"The family head is joking!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists, "I am already very grateful that Miss Bai was willing to lend me silver!"
"May I ask who little brother is? Have you joined any sect?" the head of the Bai family suddenly asked.
"No sect, no school, just a wandering cultivator!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, feeling a bit awkward. If Bai Xiaoqing hadn't insisted on him staying, he would have already left.
"Little brother, do you have a wife and children at home?" the head of the Bai family asked again.
"You could say I do!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, "Unfortunately, there was an accident!"
The head of the Bai family seemed to understand, and then led everyone to the main hall. At this time, the hall was already filled with delicious food.
"Little brother, please take the seat of honor!"
The head of the Bai family flattered, "A guest is a guest, please don't be polite!"
Bai Xiaoqing stood aside, feeling a bit perplexed. The burly man also looked confused. This was not the usual behavior of their family head. If it were in the past, he would have already left and wouldn't have had such an interaction with Lu Fan.
"As a junior, how can I sit in the main seat!"
Lu Fan shook his head, "Please, Family Head Bai."
The head of the Bai family nodded slightly and no longer stood on ceremony. After sitting in the main seat, he said to Lu Fan, "Little brother, since you have no other relatives at home, why not stay here at my Bai mansion?"
"This is a good idea!"
Bai Xiaoqing nodded, "I strongly agree."
"Look, my daughter says so. Little brother, if you are willing, I will marry her to you!" the head of the Bai family said directly, "Although my daughter is willful, she is indeed a good person. If you two can join forces, you will surely live in harmony in the future!"
