"Lord Lu possesses incredible power; of course, old Han understands this," the Han family patriarch chuckled. "However, this matter originated with the Han family, so how can the Han family stand by idly."
Many disciples of the Han family nodded in agreement. If it weren't for the Han family, Lu Fan wouldn't have become enemies with the Yun family. Now that numerous experts from the Yun family had arrived, the Han family would absolutely not stand idly by.
"Even if you've become a Grandmaster, you've only just reached that level," Yun Qingshan said coldly. "Compared to us seasoned Grandmasters, you are still far behind!"
"So what!" the Han family patriarch replied coldly. "Even if the entire Han family is destroyed, we will never allow Lord Lu to fight alone!"
Yun Qingshan scoffed. Even with the Han family patriarch joining, Lu Fan was bound to lose today, especially with four seasoned Grandmasters present.
Meanwhile, atop the Twin Towers, Lin Ke watched the Yun family's numerous experts with great anxiety. She felt helpless and deeply blamed herself. As a wife, she didn't know what to do with Lu Fan in danger.
"Little Ke, you don't need to worry too much," Lin Yalan said. "Since he is Lord Lu, he must have some tricks up his sleeve and won't be easily manipulated!"
"That's right, he is Lord Lu," Lin Haitao stated directly. "He's famous throughout Jiangnan. Even the Yun family of Jiangdong might not be able to deal with him!"
Lin Ke remained silent, as she saw things clearly. There were probably very few people who genuinely worried about Lu Fan. As for Lin Haitao, she wasn't sure if he truly wished Lu Fan well.
"Little Ke, you don't need to worry too much," Lin Aotian said. "The Han family patriarch has also gone. If anything were to happen, Xiao Fan wouldn't be at a disadvantage!"
Lin Ke nodded slightly and didn't speak further. If Lu Fan hadn't repeatedly instructed her, she would probably have already gone down from the Twin Towers.
"Miss Lin! I know you're anxious, but you don't need to worry too much. He can handle these matters," Uncle Fu walked over. "Come, sit down. It should be over soon!"
Lin Ke nodded respectfully. She had met this elder a few times and knew that Lu Fan treated him like family, which was why she was so respectful.
"Isn't this the famous Uncle Fu of Jiangnan?"
Lin Guoliang exclaimed in surprise. "Years ago, the Tianquan Villa was famous throughout Jiangnan, but it gradually faded. I didn't expect Uncle Fu to be here as well!"
"So it's Second Master Lin!" Uncle Fu smiled. "I didn't expect the young master to be marrying into your family!"
"Young master?" Lin Guoliang was surprised. "Lord Lu is your young master?"
"Naturally!" Uncle Fu nodded. "The Tianquan Villa is also under his name. I'm free from all burdens now!"
"For Uncle Fu to call someone young master, their status must be quite extraordinary," Lin Guoliang quickly said with a smile. "It's truly astonishing!"
Lin Haitao, standing nearby, observed all of this clearly. They thought Lu Fan had no background and had only secured his position through sheer strength.
Now, it seemed, things were not as he had imagined. Lu Fan's origins might even be more formidable than he had anticipated.
Below the Twin Towers, the surface of Qingzhou Lake rippled, and countless flowers floated on the water, appearing quite vibrant. On the shore, everyone was on the verge of drawing swords. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Grandmasters fighting, it's either death or injury," Qian Qiuzi smiled. "It's merely a matter of face. Can't Lord Lu just yield a little? Even a slight bow, and the Yun family wouldn't make things difficult for Lord Lu. I, Qian Qiuzi, guarantee it!"
"Yield?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "I've never experienced that. If you want to fight, then fight. Why should my Qingyun Sect fear anyone!"
Lu Fan's words were powerful and his expression was even more indifferent, as if these people were beneath his notice, or perhaps, to Lu Fan, face was more important than life.
Yun Qingshan was also quite angered. Grandmaster-level experts would not easily make a move. He had come today only to make Lu Fan admit his mistake and recognize the Yun family's might, but he hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so unyielding, putting him in a difficult position.
Although he had invited three Grandmasters, he knew very well that if any of them were severely injured, their Yun family would have to compensate for the losses, which could even shake the Yun family's foundation.
Although Lu Fan only had two Grandmasters, if a real fight broke out, they would still be under considerable pressure.
"Lord Lu, it's better to have one less trouble than one more," Yun Yiyi said. "Why don't we call it a truce? Neither side should escalate the conflict. Regardless, they are both major powers; why must it come to this!"
Yun Qingshan remained silent. Having brought everyone to Jiangnan recently to put Lu Fan in his place was enough. At least in the martial arts world from now on, no one would dare to gossip about the Yun family.
"Better to have one less trouble than one more?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "I thought the same earlier, but when the Yun family members arrived, did they show me any consideration? Today is my wedding day!"
"Lord Lu, if my Yun family wants to let this matter go, you're still unwilling?" Yun Qingshan chuckled.
"Since you've come, why should you leave so easily!" Lu Fan said coldly. "Do you really think Jiangnan is a place you can come and go as you please?"
The people of Jiangnan trembled slightly, a sense of pride swelling in their hearts. Especially Lu Fan's words just now made them feel quite pleased.
As people of Jiangnan, Lu Fan standing up for Jiangnan was a source of pride.
Han Qiushui stood to the side, feeling a bit awkward. He had thought Lu Fan would take the opportunity to de-escalate and avoid conflict with the Yun family. Now it seemed he was completely mistaken; Lu Fan was not someone to be trifled with so easily.
"Truly arrogant to the extreme!" the Zhao family patriarch sneered, taking a step forward with an attacking posture. If a fight were to break out, he wouldn't hold back.
The others also made their moves, revealing a faint cold glint. They were all martial arts families, always proud and imposing. When had they ever conversed with someone like this? Since Lu Fan was so ignorant, they saw no need to waste more time here.
"Hmph, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Yun Qingshan said coldly and took a step forward, attacking Lu Fan. The other patriarchs also showed no weakness. They were all seasoned Grandmasters, so how could they let Lu Fan act recklessly.
Seeing three Grandmasters attack, the scene instantly ignited, drawing the attention of many. Some were even shocked; they had lived this long without ever witnessing three Grandmasters join forces against an enemy.
What was more important was that Lu Fan, so young, could fight against three. As for whether Lu Fan could withstand such pressure, no one knew.
Facing the sudden attack, Lu Fan retreated, stepping onto the surface of Qingzhou Lake. Fighting below the Twin Towers would be unsafe for those on the towers, which was why Lu Fan retreated.
Seeing Lu Fan retreat, the three Grandmasters followed closely, a faint smile appearing on their faces, even a hint of smugness. Lu Fan's personal retreat likely stemmed from fear, giving them even more confidence.
