After finishing their meal, the old beggar, drunk and tipsy, lay down directly in the courtyard, looking quite content. "This old beggar has eaten his fill and is satisfied. I'll sleep here tonight, don't disturb me!"
"Senior, you jest. My Bai family has numerous courtyards and rooms everywhere. How could we possibly let Senior sleep on the ground!"
The Bai family head quickly said. He was well aware that anyone who could become Lu Fan's master was no ordinary person, and he dared not neglect him.
"The sky is my blanket, the earth my bed!"
The old beggar waved his hand. "This is my habit. I can't sleep in rooms. I think it's best to forget it!"
"This..."
The Bai family head was slightly stunned, unsure how to respond. He then looked towards Lu Fan.
"It's alright. He's just like this, and he's very robust!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "Let him sleep on the ground! Perhaps he'll leave in the middle of the night. After all, people like him are always elusive, like seeing the tail but not the head."
"If that's the case, then I won't insist!"
The Bai family head nodded slightly. He dared not overstep in the slightest with the old beggar before him.
Although the old beggar had not displayed any abilities from beginning to end, having Lu Fan as a disciple was enough to show that the old beggar was not simple.
Meanwhile, not far from Baishui City, within a main hall, the Li family head stood tall, feeling very uneasy as he looked around, his mind filled with speculation about the scene before him.
"Brother Lin, I apologize for the delay!"
Shangguan Yun arrived. "I had some matters to attend to within the sect, which caused the delay. May I ask why Brother Lin has personally come, and what important matter you have?"
"Brother Shangguan, I have indeed come for something today!"
Lin family head said softly. "My Lin family has encountered trouble!"
"Brother Lin, please don't joke!"
Shangguan Yun said softly. "Within the entire Baishui City, the Lin family is all-powerful. How could anything possibly happen? Moreover, with Brother Lin present, it's foolproof."
"That may be so, but I have come today to ask for Brother Shangguan's help!"
The Lin family head spoke directly. "The Bai family of Baishui City is acting with impunity and has expelled my Lin family from Baishui City! Brother Shangguan, please uphold justice for me!"
"There's such a thing?"
Shangguan Yun smiled faintly. "I heard that the Bai family is no match for the Lin family. How could they achieve this with their strength!"
"That may be so, but the Bai family has gained a helper, and their skills are formidable," the Lin family head stated. "The Lin family was outnumbered and weak, and could only retreat in the end."
"Who is that person?"
Shangguan Yun spoke again. "To make the Lin family head so wary, could it be that they have some background behind them?"
"They are not from Baishui City. They should be from elsewhere, but their strength is not weak!"
The Lin family head said solemnly. "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have come to the Misty Sect!"
"How about this! Brother Lin, you go back first. Once I'm free from sect matters, I'll go and help you resolve this," Shangguan Yun said with a smile.
"This..."
The Lin family head frowned. He could tell that Shangguan Yun did not want to help, but with the strength of their Lin family, it was impossible to return to Baishui City without external assistance.
"Brother Shangguan, this is the treasure of my Lin family. I know you've had your eye on it for a long time!"
The Lin family head took out a box. "As long as Brother Shangguan can help me eliminate the Bai family, this item will be yours!"
Upon opening the box, Shangguan Yun was slightly surprised. "This is the treasure of the Lin family! As an elder of the Misty Sect, how can I take advantage of someone's misfortune? Isn't that improper!"
"I will be satisfied if Brother Shangguan accepts it!"
The Lin family head said directly. "Please, Brother Shangguan, do not refuse!"
"Alright, since you've said so, it would be impolite for me to refuse further!" Su Dan Novel Network
Shangguan Yun smiled faintly. "The Lin family is so sincere. If I delay any longer, it would be my fault. Wait for me outside the sect tomorrow morning, and I will personally accompany you to Baishui City!"
"Thank you, Brother Shangguan!"
The Lin family head showed joy and quickly cupped his fists, with a commanding aura. With Shangguan Yun accompanying him, he was fearless.
After all, Shangguan Yun was a peak Spirit Master, and possibly on the verge of breaking through to the Great Spirit Master realm. With such formidable strength, coupled with their Lin family forces, eliminating the Bai family would be as easy as flipping a hand.
Even with Lu Fan present, it would be of no consequence.
After leaving the Misty Sect, the Lin family head followed the mountain path to a village. Lin Qingbei had been waiting for a long time. "Grandfather, how did it go?"
"No problem!"
The Lin family head said. "We'll await good news tomorrow. Inform everyone to prepare. The Lin family's many experts will head to Baishui City tomorrow and leave no one standing!"
"Don't worry, Grandfather. My blade has long been sharpened!"
Lin Qingbei smiled, a faint glint of coldness emanating from him. Being driven out of Baishui City was a great humiliation for them. Now that they could fight their way back, they would surely sharpen their blades.
The next morning, Lu Fan emerged from his room. He did not see the old beggar, but he was not surprised. The old beggar was elusive, and finding him was not easy.
"Mr. Lu, you're awake?"
The Bai family head walked over. "When I woke up this morning, I didn't see the old senior. It seems he has already left!"
"Indeed!"
Lu Fan nodded. "He has indeed left!"
"Did Mr. Lu sleep well last night?"
The Bai family head smiled, simultaneously marveling, "Mr. Lu's aura seems to have grown much stronger!"
"Indeed!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "I received my master's teachings last night, and I am now close to the Great Spirit Master realm!"
"This is truly cause for celebration!" the Bai family head quickly congratulated him.
Bai Xiaoqing also walked over. "Mr. Lu, I dispatched twelve waves of people to help you search for your friends. Three waves have already returned, but unfortunately, there's no news. However, by tonight, the other nine waves will also return, and by then, there should be results!"
"Thank you!" Lu Fan cupped his fists.
"Mr. Lu helped my Bai family escape from dire straits. I haven't even thanked you yet!"
Bai Xiaoqing said with a wry smile. "Why must you apologize to me!"
Lu Fan smiled and said no more. Since he had to wait until evening, he would not leave the Bai family. After all, obtaining news of Long Yi was not an easy task for him alone.
Meanwhile, outside the Misty Sect, the Lin family members had already gathered, waiting silently, their blades honed. This time, with a powerful expert intervening, the Bai family would surely pay the price.
"Grandfather, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Lin Qingbei frowned. "He's not going to come, is he? We even offered the Lin family's supreme treasure. If he doesn't show up, what are we going to do?"
"He will come!"
The Lin family head waved his hand. "I have some acquaintance with him, he wouldn't do this!"
