"Who is this brash young brat, daring to court death!" Old Third Shen looked at Lu Fan.
"Mr. Lu, this matter does not concern you!" Jiang Meili spoke up, "You all should leave. This is a matter of my Jiang family!"
"I didn't want to get involved, but for a Grandmaster to be so despicable and shameless, it's a disgrace to martial arts!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Coming to Beihai again has truly opened my eyes."
"You ignorant little brat, how dare you comment on me here?"
Old Third Shen was furious and was about to make a move on Lu Fan. How could a dignified Grandmaster be spoken to like this by Lu Fan? What face would he have left?
Witnessing the scene, Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, looking as if he didn't care, as if he feared no Grandmaster in his eyes.
"Old Third Shen, he is my friend!" Jiang Meili reminded him, "If you want me to marry you, you cannot touch them!"
"So, Miss Jiang has agreed?" Old Third Shen's face lit up with joy. "If that's the case, I can return now and come back in three days to marry you!"
"Is there any other way besides this?"
Jiang Meili gave a wry smile. "As long as you don't trouble my clan, I will marry you, but you must promise me that you will not harm any member of the Jiang family!"
"A Grandmaster's word is his bond!" Old Third Shen, beaming with joy, left with many experts from the Shen family. They would return in three days to marry her, without any delay.
After they left, the Jiang family head said, "Silly girl, why put yourself through this? Old Third Shen is not a good person, isn't this like a lamb walking into a tiger's mouth!"
"Dad, please don't say anything more!" Jiang Meili stepped forward to support him. "You are still injured and cannot exert yourself!"
The faces of several great-uncles were pale. They were helpless. Now, to save the lives of the Jiang family members, it seemed only Jiang Meili's marriage was the solution. But if Jiang Meili was unwilling, they would defend the Jiang family's dignity with their lives.
"Who are these people?"
The Jiang family head looked at Lu Fan and the other person, his face filled with even more surprise.
"They are my friends!" Jiang Meili quickly said. "I originally brought them to Beihai to spend a few days, but it seems I won't have the chance now!"
"So that's how it is!" The Jiang family head nodded and cupped his fists towards Lu Fan. "Young man, you truly have courage to speak so frankly, showing no fear even before a Grandmaster!"
"Grandmasters are not terrifying!" Lu Fan smiled. "Moreover, that person is morally corrupt. Even as a Grandmaster, he is nothing more than scum among men!"
"Well said!" The Jiang family head nodded repeatedly, but suddenly, a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of his lips, and his face became even paler.
"Dad!"
Jiang Meili cried out, never imagining that her father's injuries were so severe.
"Hurry and help him to his room!" several great-uncles quickly said. They were quite aware of the family head's injuries.
After being helped to his room, the Jiang family head's face was still pale. Even with the chief physician attending him, there was no improvement. He had been suffering from internal injuries for days, which had aggravated his illness.
"Xiao Fan, don't you know medicine? Why don't you take a look!"
Lin Ke spoke, her expression particularly serious.
Jiang Meili also turned her gaze to Lu Fan. "You know medicine?"
"Actually, this has nothing to do with medicine. The Jiang family head is not sick, but has suffered a heavy blow, with blood stasis in his body." Lu Fan gave a wry smile. "He only needs to take a few pills and recuperate for a few days to get better!"
"Get better within a few days?" The great-uncles looked at Lu Fan with disbelief.
For the past few days, the chief physician had been meticulously caring for him, yet there was no improvement in the Jiang family head's condition. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been bullied so much by the Shen family. Su Dan Novel Network
"If that's the case, please have Mr. Lu take a look." Jiang Meili spoke again, with a hint of probing in her tone.
If Lu Fan could cure the Jiang family head, the Jiang family wouldn't have to live under the mercy of the Shen family.
Lu Fan said no more. He went to the Jiang family head and pressed a few acupoints on him. At the same time, he took out silver needles. After a long while, the Jiang family head finally felt the blood stasis within his body gradually being expelled, and his complexion improved considerably.
The many great-uncles of the Jiang family were astonished. They hadn't expected Lu Fan to possess such a skill, something many renowned doctors couldn't achieve.
"The blood stasis has been removed!" Lu Fan took out a few pills. "Take these pills, and you will recover tomorrow!"
The Jiang family head nodded slightly, his face filled with gratitude. He was very thankful for Lu Fan's help in recuperating. After Lu Fan's intervention, he gradually felt relaxed.
After taking the pills, the Jiang family head ordered some gifts to be brought. "Mr. Lu, these are just some small trinkets. If you like anything, feel free to take it. My Jiang family is not short of such things!"
"There's no need for that!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Miss Jiang and I are friends. It's just a small gesture!"
The Jiang family head appeared somewhat awkward and didn't say more. However, after taking the pills, he could clearly feel their efficacy, which made him marvel at how extraordinary Lu Fan's pills seemed.
In fact, he didn't know that Lu Fan's pills were of great origin. They were refined with spiritual herbs from the Outer Domain battlefield and had great effects. Let alone these trinkets, even peerless treasures might not be able to exchange for these pills.
There was no doubt about this.
"Meili, are you really going to get married in three days?" Lin Ke stepped forward, a touch of sadness in her voice.
"The Shen family has many Grandmasters and considerable influence in Beihai!" Jiang Meili said with a wry smile. "I probably have no other choice!"
"Meili, don't worry. My injuries are about to heal. By then, I will fight him to the death and will not let Old Third Shen marry you!" the Jiang family head declared.
"It's useless. The Shen family has many Grandmaster experts. If we clash with them, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us!" Jiang Meili said repeatedly. "I only hope you can recover well, Dad! As for other matters, let your daughter bear them alone!"
"Let's not talk about sad things!" the Third Great-Uncle interjected. "We have distinguished guests today, so we mustn't be negligent!"
Just then, the Third Great-Uncle's voice sounded, and he looked at Lu Fan with utmost respect.
"You're right!" The Jiang family head nodded. "Quickly order the preparation of food and wine. Tonight, I will host Mr. Lu for a banquet. Mr. Lu has cured my illness, how can the Jiang family be negligent!"
Jiang Meili nodded slightly and quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare food and wine. She hadn't been home for a long time, and now with Lu Fan and the others present, tonight was indeed a night for feasting and merriment.
"Old Third, this doesn't seem like your usual character!" the First Great-Uncle said. "You, who have always been proud, would never flatter a junior like this! What is going on?"
"Brother, please don't ask!" the Third Great-Uncle said. "Mr. Lu cured the family head. It is only right to treat him with courtesy!"
