"Even if the Assassin Dynasty is powerful, I will make them pay!"
Lu Fan spoke, "It's a pity I don't know the entrance to the Assassin Dynasty, nor their movements. I feel like a headless fly right now!"
"If you truly wish to know, it's not impossible for me to tell you!" Old Man Wan Juan said with a faint smile. "However, you must keep it a secret, boy. If it leaks out, I fear I would face utter destruction here at Wan Juan Pavilion."
"If Senior has news, please inform me. I swear I will never reveal the secret!"
Lu Fan clasped his fists suddenly, his eyes filled with joy. His purpose in coming to the Holy City was to find the Assassin Dynasty. Now that he had news of them, how could he possibly miss it?
"In truth, the Assassin Dynasty has no fixed location. More importantly, their headquarters has never been discovered since ancient times."
Old Man Wan Juan stated directly, "The Assassin Dynasty is too terrifying. Once their headquarters is discovered, they would surely be jointly exterminated by all the other major holy lands. At that time, the Assassin Dynasty would cease to exist, so their headquarters can never be exposed."
"If that's the case, then why did Senior just say..." Lu Fan was somewhat puzzled.
"Although I don't know their headquarters, I do know that the Assassin Dynasty has a branch. Its specific location should be in Niujia Village, not far from the Holy City. Perhaps there you can find some clues," Old Man Wan Juan replied. "However, this news came out a long time ago. As for whether it's true or not, I don't know."
"Thank you, Senior, for telling me!"
With joy in his eyes, Lu Fan quickly clasped his fists. Now that he had a lead, it would naturally be much easier to get things done.
"Grandpa Wan Juan, my Bai family is hosting a banquet tonight. Why don't you come with me?" Bai Yudie smiled. "You don't seem to have anything else to do anyway."
"No need. I still have to guard Wan Juan Pavilion!" Old Man Wan Juan smiled. "I appreciate your kind offer. Please send my regards to the Bai family head when you return to the Bai family."
Bai Yudie nodded slightly, not saying anything more. She knew that Old Man Wan Juan had to guard Wan Juan Pavilion.
Not long after, Lu Fan left Wan Juan Pavilion and was pulled by Bai Yudie towards the Bai family, appearing rather helpless.
Upon arriving at the Bai family, Bai Yudie quickly instructed the cooks to prepare the evening banquet and then led Lu Fan to the garden. "Have some tea here for now, I'll be right back!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, not paying much attention. The reason he came to the Bai family was to thank Bai Yudie for helping him out of a difficult situation, and he had no other intentions.
After Bai Yudie left, she went to the Bai family head's room. "Father, why are you still cultivating? We have distinguished guests at home, why aren't you going to greet them!"
"How dare you barge in like this, you girl!"
The Bai family head glared at her. "What distinguished guest has arrived? To make you so happy? Could it be a man?"
"Father, don't mock me. Didn't you always complain last time that no one was worthy of me?"
Bai Yudie chuckled lightly. "The person who is here now is more than worthy to be your son-in-law!"
"Who is it that you regard so highly?"
The Bai family head smiled and slowly got up. He wondered what distinguished guest had arrived at the Bai family. Judging by Bai Yudie's demeanor, she seemed quite pleased.
"The Ancient Divine Physique! You were talking about it last time, and you had very high praise for the Ancient Divine Physique. Now that he has come to the Holy City, shouldn't we give him a proper reception?" Bai Yudie said with a smile.
"Ancient Divine Physique?"
The Bai family head was suddenly startled, his expression filled with a hint of panic. He never expected the Ancient Divine Physique to come to the Holy City. Such a figure would surely be able to dominate a region and become an unparalleled powerhouse in the future. Su Dan Novel Network
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and lead the way, this is the Ancient Divine Physique!"
The Bai family head said repeatedly, "If you can marry him, it would be an immense honor for our Bai family."
"While that may be true, this is not something I can decide on my own," Bai Yudie said with a wry smile. "If he is unwilling, then we cannot force it."
"You shouldn't speak such discouraging words, child. After all, you are quite outstanding yourself. The Ancient Divine Physique and you are a perfect match!"
The Bai family head spoke earnestly and with a smile. Now that the Ancient Divine Physique was at the Bai family, it was a great honor for the Bai family. At least, in the Bai family head's opinion, this was a rare and unmissable opportunity.
Lu Fan was leisurely drinking tea in the courtyard, but he was constantly thinking about Niujia Village, wondering if he could find any news about the Assassin Dynasty near Niujia Village.
He had traveled thousands of miles to the Holy City with the sole purpose of finding the Assassin Dynasty. If he couldn't get any news about them, wouldn't his trip be in vain?
Just as he was pondering, the Bai family head arrived with a beaming smile. "A distinguished guest has arrived. Please forgive my lack of timely reception!"
"This is my father, the Bai family head!" Bai Yudie said with a smile.
"So it's the Bai family head!"
Lu Fan quickly got up and clasped his fists, showing a respectful attitude. He was new to the Holy City, and the Bai family was one of the three great families, so he naturally did not dare to offend them easily.
"I had heard long ago that the Eastern Region had produced an Ancient Divine Physique. Now that I see you, you are indeed extraordinary!" the Bai family head chuckled. "Please do not refuse our invitation to the banquet prepared by the Bai family!"
"Thank you, Bai family head!"
Lu Fan clasped his fists, his expression becoming solemn. The Bai family head's politeness was somewhat unexpected.
Not long after, Lu Fan took his seat. The Bai family head personally poured him a drink. "Young man, it is an honor for my Bai family that you have come to the Holy City. Why not reside directly in the Holy City? My Bai family will surely entertain you well."
"Father, don't even think about it. He has other matters to attend to!" Bai Yudie shot her father a glance. "Besides, someone as outstanding as Young Master Lu would not be subordinate to others!"
"How is that being subordinate to others!"
The Bai family head shook his head. "If he were to become my Bai family's son-in-law, my Bai family would become his backing. Who would dare to touch him then!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fan was instantly bewildered. "Bai family head, have you misunderstood? Actually, Miss Bai and I..."
"You don't need to explain. I understand the affairs of young people!" the Bai family head waved his hand. "I only have this one daughter, and the Bai family will be handed over to both of you in the future, so you don't need to worry."
Lu Fan stood there stunned, feeling somewhat helpless. He truly did not expect the Bai family head to speak in such a manner.
"I say, Father, stop causing trouble!" Bai Yudie said awkwardly. "Young Master Lu is just here for a meal, and I personally invited him. You mustn't misunderstand."
Seeing that Lu Fan remained unmoved, the Bai family head chuckled sheepishly. "I was rude just now."
