"It's a long story!"
Lu Fan wore a wry smile. "I just didn't expect you to be the young master of the Divine Dragon clan. If I had known, I would have come to seek refuge with you!"
"Master jest!"
Tianlong forced a smile. "No matter why Master has come to Beiyuan, from now on, the Divine Dragon clan will be Master's home!"
The elders of the Divine Dragon clan heard this and their faces also showed joy.
Lu Fan's strength was so formidable, and if he could join the Divine Dragon clan, it would be a great cause for celebration.
As they were conversing, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared. Upon seeing Lu Fan's figure, he was also slightly surprised.
"Tianlong, who is this young brother? He doesn't seem to be from Beiyuan!"
The Dragon Clan Chief spoke, regarding Lu Fan with considerable interest.
"Father, he is my Master. If it weren't for him, I might not have been able to come to the Divine Realm!"
Tianlong spoke, his face beaming with joy.
"So that's how it is!"
The Divine Clan Chief was overjoyed, and only then did he order a banquet to be prepared, not daring to show any negligence.
Since he was Tianlong's Master, the Divine Dragon clan should be grateful.
After all, they were well aware of the experiences Tianlong and Lu Fan had gone through.
At the banquet, the Dragon Clan Chief was very polite to Lu Fan, appearing exceptionally amiable.
"Master, you should stay here from now on. The Divine Dragon clan has abundant cultivation resources, which will be of great benefit to you!" Tianlong said repeatedly.
"Indeed!"
The Dragon Clan Chief smiled. "Young friend Lu, why don't you stay? Our Divine Dragon clan will surely entertain you well!"
"There's no need for that!"
Lu Fan shook his head and smiled. "I came today originally to demand an explanation, but since you are of the Tianlong clan, I will let it go!"
The elders of the Divine Dragon heard this, and their faces were filled with unease. Lu Fan's words made them even more apprehensive.
"What's going on?"
The Dragon Clan Chief looked at the elders of the Divine Dragon.
"It is all my fault; I offended this esteemed sir!"
The elder of the Divine Dragon said obsequiously, "I shall punish myself with a drink!"
"It's fine!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "However, the Fox clan and I have a good relationship. I hope the Divine Dragon clan can look after them!"
"Young friend Lu, rest assured. Since you have said so, I will issue a decree tomorrow!"
The Dragon Clan Chief smiled. "From now on, no one will dare to dictate terms to the Fox clan!"
"Then thank you!"
Lu Fan raised his wine cup, his expression calm.
With the Dragon Clan Chief's word, there should be no problem, and that was for the best.
"Master, is there someone you value in the Fox clan? Otherwise, why would you care so much?"
Tianlong teased, his gaze filled with meaning.
"I was severely injured in the Divine Clan last time, and it was someone from the Fox clan who saved me!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "How could I forget this life-saving grace!"
"Injured in the Divine Clan?"
Tianlong frowned. "What happened? Did someone within the Divine Clan act against Master? If that's the case, I can dispatch the experts of the Divine Dragon clan to seek justice for Master!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. It was clear they had not expected things to turn out this way, and it made them even more suspicious.
"There's no need to dwell on the past!"
Lu Fan shook his head, his expression becoming more solemn.
Tianlong frowned, wanting to say more, but ultimately dared not speak further.
"Clan Chief, something has happened! A large contingent has arrived outside, and they seem to be trying to break in!"
Just then, a voice rang out. A man from the Divine Dragon clan spoke quickly, not daring to delay.
"What's going on?"
The elder of the Divine Dragon frowned. In the entire Beiyuan, the deterrence of the Divine Dragon clan was absolutely the strongest.
Someone had actually come to the Divine Dragon clan to cause trouble; this had never happened before.
"It seems to be the Divine Fox clan!"
The man quickly replied, not daring to delay.
"The Divine Fox clan?"
Lu Fan was slightly startled. He had not expected people from the Divine Fox clan to appear at this moment.
"Young friend Lu, it seems you will have to handle this matter yourself!"
The Dragon Clan Chief smiled, his expression indifferent.
The arrival of the Divine Fox clan members was clearly for Lu Fan.
Lu Fan nodded, and his figure instantly disappeared from his spot. Even he had not expected the entire Divine Fox clan to arrive.
After Lu Fan left, the elder of the Divine Dragon beside him said, "Clan Chief, although this person is the Young Master's Master, he is from the Divine Clan, and his strength is extraordinary. I fear he might be detrimental to the Divine Dragon clan!"
The Dragon Clan Chief narrowed his eyes, not speaking directly.
"Elder of the Divine Dragon, what do you mean by that?"
Tianlong's expression was cold. "Not only is he my Master, but he is also my friend. I will not allow you to slander him like this!"
"I am merely speaking the truth. This person's strength is extraordinary, and he is from the Divine Clan. I am afraid he might be a spy!" the elder of the Divine Dragon stated again.
"If you continue to say this, I will truly get angry!"
Tianlong was displeased. He had never imagined that an elder in his own clan would denigrate Lu Fan, and he could not tolerate it.
"I am just speaking casually, Young Master, please do not take it to heart!"
The elder of the Divine Dragon quickly smiled, not daring to speak too harshly, as he was very aware of Tianlong's temperament.
"Of course, I will not take it seriously. However, if you dare to disrespect my Master, I will not tolerate it!" Tianlong said coldly.
"Young Master, you are correct!"
The elder of the Divine Dragon nodded quickly, no longer daring to say more. He was also very aware that some matters were not as simple as they appeared, and without evidence, Tianlong would not believe him.
"It is best not to speak carelessly about things that have not happened!"
The Dragon Clan Chief spoke. "Since he is the Young Master's Master, he is a guest of our Divine Dragon clan!"
"Clan Chief, you are right. I was rash just now!"
The elder of the Divine Dragon nodded quickly and did not dare to say more.
With Tianlong standing by, if he were to slander Lu Fan further, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Meanwhile, outside the Divine Dragon clan, Lu Fan stepped out and looked at Jiu Wei and the others, feeling a great deal of helplessness. "I told you not to come out! Why did you come here!"
"Master, you are alright!"
Jiu Wei's face lit up with joy as he looked at Lu Fan.
"Of course, I am fine!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "But you brought the entire Fox clan here. Do you want to risk everything and engage in an endless battle with the entire Divine Dragon clan?"
"This..."
Jiu Wei stood stunned, a look of embarrassment on his face. This was the wish of the entire Fox clan. If Lu Fan were truly to die at the hands of the Divine Dragon clan, their Divine Fox clan would never stand idly by. Even if the last clansman perished, they would stand united with Lu Fan.
"Master, did the Divine Dragon clan do anything to you?" Liu Wei asked. "We were just worried, so we came here!"
"The young master of the Divine Dragon clan is my former mount. Do you think anything would happen to me?" Lu Fan shrugged. "I am a distinguished guest here now, so you don't need to worry!"
