"What are you saying? Is it not okay for Grandpa to have a drink with him?" Old Master Zhao smiled, "Grandpa is quite fond of him. Besides, for such an excellent young man, isn't it good for him to have a few drinks with Grandpa!"
Zhao Xue rolled her eyes, "Grandpa, you didn't say that before. I remember you didn't think much of him at all. Why have you changed your tune now?"
"That's nonsense, how could Grandpa not think highly of him!" Old Master Zhao shook his head and said, "Moreover, this kid is no ordinary person. Although he is a flying ascendant and lacks bloodline power, with his talent, he will likely change his physique in no time. Then, perhaps he can even secure a place in the entire Heavenly Realm!"
"Grandpa, you're the most unreliable when you talk. You said one thing before and another now. I won't believe you!" Zhao Xue rolled her eyes, "But speaking of which, he is indeed good. You don't need to say it."
"How can you talk like that!" Old Master Zhao rolled his eyes and looked at Lu Fan again, "Young man, please don't mind. What do you think of my Xiao Xue? If you are willing to become my Zhao family's son-in-law, I would be very pleased. This way, Ouyang Jia will have to think twice before dealing with you!"
"Grandpa, what are you talking about!" Zhao Xue quickly said, "I haven't agreed yet! Don't talk nonsense."
"Why are you interrupting, you little girl? As long as this kid is willing, you can get married directly, and Grandpa can rest easy sooner!" Old Master Zhao was not polite at all.
Zhao Xue felt extremely awkward. With her grandfather saying that, she was instantly at a loss.
As they were talking, a man rushed to report, "Patriarch, there's a woman outside asking to see you. She seems to be looking for Mr. Lu!"
"Looking for me?" Lu Fan was slightly surprised. At the same time, he arrived outside the Zhao family's gate. When he saw Ling'er, he was also slightly startled, "Why have you come to Tianhai City?"
"You are indeed here. It seems I haven't come to the wrong place!" Ling'er was overjoyed and rushed towards Lu Fan. She had paid a considerable price to find Lu Fan, and now that she could see him, she felt much more at ease.
Zhao Xue's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this scene. She actually had feelings for Lu Fan.
"Weren't you in Xuandi City?"
Lu Fan asked doubtfully, "How did you end up in Tianhai City!"
"You blockhead, of course, she came to Tianhai City because she has feelings for you and followed you here!"
Zhao Xue spoke, "Can't you even see that?"
Lu Fan was slightly embarrassed, and Ling'er was also a little surprised. She looked at Zhao Xue, even more confused.
"This is Miss Zhao. I am currently staying at the Zhao residence!"
Lu Fan introduced, "But this Heavenly Realm has always been chaotic. It's very dangerous for you to leave the city so recklessly!"
"I know that, of course, but to be with you, I'm not afraid of any danger!"
Ling'er spoke earnestly, without any reservation.
With these words, Lu Fan was instantly speechless. He seemed indifferent to matters of romance, but Ling'er's appearance made him feel somewhat helpless.
"Since she is your friend, why don't you stay at my Zhao family's residence!"
Zhao Xue said with a smile, appearing even more magnanimous.
"I don't need to!"
Ling'er shook her head and looked at Lu Fan, "Come back to Xuandi City with me! I will clarify this matter, and my father won't make things difficult for you!"
"Xuandi asked me to leave Xuandi City, and he naturally has his reasons!"
Lu Fan shook his head, "So you don't need to persuade me! And the Chen family is also in Tianhai City. You need to be careful, after all, the Chen family was expelled from Xuandi City, and they must be resentful!"
"That's no problem!"
Ling'er shook her head, completely unconcerned. With Lu Fan by her side, she naturally wouldn't care about them. Sudan Novel Network
Seeing that Ling'er had no intention of leaving, Lu Fan smiled and said, "Since you don't want to leave, why not stay at the Zhao family's residence? This way, you'll have someone to look after you."
"It's not that I don't want to leave, I just want to be with you!" Ling'er said without reservation.
Lu Fan was somewhat helpless but couldn't say much more, so he arranged for Ling'er to stay.
When Old Master Zhao learned that a woman who was quite interested in Lu Fan had come to the residence, he was instantly furious. He immediately went to Zhao Xue and said, "Xiao Xue, this is a rare talent. As the saying goes, proximity breeds affection. He is living in our Zhao family now, which is your best opportunity. You mustn't miss it easily!"
"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Xue rolled her eyes, "I want to, but it's not that simple!"
"With you saying that, Grandpa is relieved!" Old Master Zhao smiled, "As long as you want it, Grandpa can help you achieve it!"
"Ah? Did I say that just now?"
Zhao Xue was slightly stunned, and her face instantly turned embarrassed, "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, I never said that!"
"Grandpa knows your thoughts, but don't worry, Grandpa will keep it a secret for you!" Old Master Zhao smiled.
Zhao Xue felt her face flush, not knowing what to say.
In the following days, Ling'er kept pestering Lin Fan and was inseparable from him, appearing like a couple. Zhao Xue felt quite uncomfortable but didn't know what to do.
"You girl, are you just going to stand by and watch someone snatch away the man of your dreams?" Old Master Zhao incited, "I think this kid is a good person. If you can get him, it would be a good choice."
"Grandpa, stop instigating me. I've done what I can," Zhao Xue said helplessly.
"Fine, fine, let this old man do it!" Old Master Zhao looked helpless and narrowed his eyes.
Zhao Xue didn't pay attention, not even understanding the underlying meaning of Old Master Zhao's words.
In these few days, Ling'er had been with Lin Fan. However, Lin Fan had been in seclusion during this period, so Ling'er waited outside, not daring to disturb him.
"Miss Ling'er, my master invites you!"
An old man walked over and bowed to Ling'er with a serious expression.
Ling'er was somewhat suspicious. She had no dealings with Old Master Zhao, so his sudden invitation made her surprised.
Not long after, Ling'er arrived at the Zhao family's back garden. In the garden, the old master was fishing, looking quite leisurely.
"You are Ling'er?"
"That's right!"
Ling'er nodded, "Is there something you need me for?"
"This kid Lu Fan is good. He is someone I fancy!"
The old master smiled, "I want him to become my Zhao family's son-in-law!"
"Why are you telling me this?" Ling'er frowned, "Besides, if he is willing, that is his own will."
"As long as you leave, he will naturally be willing!" Old Master Zhao narrowed his eyes.
