As Lu Fan was researching, Han Yunhai arrived, his expression somewhat solemn.
"What, have you already found information about Canglong Academy?"
Lu Fan stood up. "Tell me, what exactly is Canglong Academy's origin?"
"My Lord, you may not know!"
Han Yunhai said solemnly, "Headquarters seems to intend to block information about Canglong Academy, but I have discovered something through some ancient texts!"
"Canglong Academy has existed since ancient times, and it is filled with martial arts powerhouses!"
"What is even more astonishing is that within Canglong Academy, even ordinary members possess the strength of a War King, and those with outstanding talent can even be War Emperors!"
At this point, Han Yunhai felt a chill down his spine, as he was very aware of what this signified.
"War Emperor powerhouses?"
Lu Fan's expression turned grave. He knew very well that Canglong Academy was no simple matter, and it indeed seemed so now.
With just a little talent, one could possess the strength of a War Emperor. How terrifying was that? It meant that any member could destroy the Dragon Kingdom.
No wonder the elders had deliberately concealed it. If Canglong Academy was so powerful, and if it was indeed related to the Lu family, how could Lu Fan have escaped?
"My Lord, this matter is no small affair. Regarding Canglong Academy, I suggest we stop investigating!"
Han Yunhai's expression was serious. "I do not wish for anything to happen to you!"
"We must investigate!"
Lu Fan's expression was cold. "I must also clarify this matter!"
"In that case, My Lord, do you realize how extremely dangerous this is?"
Han Yunhai's expression was solemn. "I hope My Lord will reconsider and not come into conflict with Canglong Academy!"
"I know you are doing this for my own good!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "But if this matter is not clarified, I will not be able to rest easy. Things are not as simple as they seem!"
Han Yunhai was somewhat helpless, but he knew that Lu Fan had his reasons for making this decision.
As they were talking, Lin Ke and Jiang Meili arrived at Jiangjing Longting, accompanied by another woman. She was wearing a dress, and her walking posture and demeanor were no less than that of Lin Ke and Jiang Meili.
"Who is this?"
Lu Fan seemed to sense something and looked towards the woman, his gaze sharp. He had a bad premonition; there was a dangerous aura emanating from the woman.
"My name is Long Yi!"
The woman spoke. "Today, I was bullied by a few men. These two older sisters saved me, so they brought me here!"
"Yes, those men saw that she was beautiful and had improper intentions!"
Jiang Meili chimed in. "But I've already taught those men a lesson. Today was truly exhilarating."
"It is only right to help someone in need."
Lu Fan frowned slightly. "But by bringing her home, do you intend for her to stay permanently?"
"That's right. I find her quite pitiful; she has no parents and no means, but she is good-looking and a good person. If cultivated, she could become a great asset in the future," Lin Ke nodded. "She will be my secretary from now on."
"I do not agree!"
Lu Fan said coldly, looking at Long Yi. "You can leave now!"
"My two older sisters are so kind, and I have nowhere to go. How can I leave so easily?"
Long Yi feigned a pitiable expression. "If I go out like this, I will surely be bullied by them!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Xiao Fan, Long Yi has a tragic background and is at her wit's end. Please let her stay!" Lin Ke persuaded. "I will definitely teach her well!"
However, before Lin Ke could finish, Lu Fan stepped towards Long Yi. "I'll ask you one more time, are you leaving or not? Even I can sense a threat from you; you are no ordinary person, so how could you be bullied by a few men!"
"I am just a weak woman and pose no threat to anyone!"
Long Yi said aggrievedly. "Since you all think so, then I shall leave! So as not to make things difficult for you!"
"No!"
Lin Ke's expression was serious. "I brought her here, and she cannot leave without my permission!"
"But..." Long Yi looked at Lu Fan.
"Xiao Fan, she will be my secretary from now on, and I need her very much!" Lin Ke said seriously. "Besides, she has nowhere to go. To let her end up on the streets like this, how can my heart bear it!"
Lu Fan was quite angered. He could feel the dangerous aura from Long Yi, and Long Yi was definitely not an ordinary person. Her approaching Jiangjing Longting was likely for some other purpose.
"Since you refuse to leave, then I can only force you to reveal your true form!"
As soon as Lu Fan finished speaking, an inner force surged towards Long Yi.
With a single sound, Long Yi's body was sent flying, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her face instantly turned pale. She glared at Lu Fan resentfully. "I am just a frail woman; even if I have no family or friends, you cannot bully me like this! I already said I would leave!"
"Xiao Fan, how could you do this!"
Lin Ke exclaimed angrily. "She is my friend, how could you injure her!"
"Lord Lu, isn't this too much?"
Jiang Meili also frowned. "She's just a woman, yet you attacked her so fiercely!"
Lu Fan stood frozen, feeling somewhat awkward. He could faintly sense the dangerous aura from Long Yi, but after the recent confrontation, he realized that Long Yi was not a martial artist, just an ordinary woman.
"I apologize; it was a momentary lapse on my part!" Lu Fan said. "If you are truly not a bad person, then I naturally would not have attacked you!"
"Do I look like such a bad person?"
Long Yi rolled her eyes. "If I hadn't seen how kind Sister Lin is, I wouldn't have come here!"
Faced with these words, Lu Fan was speechless. He knew that regardless of whether Long Yi was good or bad, she would probably have to stay.
However, Lu Fan remained very vigilant towards Long Yi.
After bringing Long Yi to a room, Lin Ke personally cooked a few dishes. Lu Fan was cultivating in the garden, and Lin Ke did not call Lu Fan for dinner.
Normally, Lin Ke would have called him by now, but she was truly angry about today's events.
"Long Yi, don't worry. As long as I am here, no one can drive you away, let alone you being my secretary from now on!" Lin Ke said indignantly.
"Xiao Ke, you don't need to be too angry!"
Jiang Meili said. "Lord Lu's actions were unintentional. He was just afraid we would be deceived by bad people!"
"It wasn't unintentional; it was practically life-threatening!"
Lin Ke rolled her eyes. "Long Yi is injured."
"It's just a minor external wound, nothing serious!" Long Yi smiled. "It's still not good for me to stay; it will affect your relationship. Perhaps I should leave first!"
"That won't do!"
Jiang Meili said. "If I hadn't intervened today, you would have been defiled by those men. You cannot go out casually again! You should stay here from now on!"
Long Yi was very grateful and then slowly sat down, beginning to eat.
Meanwhile, in the garden, Han Yunhai asked in surprise, "My Lord, what is going on today?"
