Within the Zhao family, everyone looked at Zhao Dalei's form with disbelief. After all, under normal circumstances, no one would dare to offend the Zhao family.
But now it seemed that was not the case. Zhao Dalei's death was a great blow to the Zhao family.
After all, no matter what, the Zhao family had never suffered such a shock before, but what had happened today was ultimately unbearable for them.
"Report this matter to the second young master, otherwise we might all lose our lives!"
Steward Zhao spoke, "After all, you should know that the second young master will not let the first young master's death go, and we will also suffer greatly!"
Following these words, the Zhao family members fell silent, not knowing what to do. Just as Steward Zhao had said, once the second young master found out, they would also incur undeserved disaster.
However, they also knew that this matter could not be kept secret.
At this moment, in Niutou Village, a man returned from the market, panicking: "Old Village Chief, something terrible has happened, Zhao Dalei is dead!"
"How is this possible!"
The old village chief was shocked: "How could Zhao Dalei have an accident! Didn't he return to Qingshui Town!"
"He did return to Qingshui Town and was assassinated to death!"
The man nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the work of Immortal Lu. What should we do now!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The old village chief quickly said, "Immortal Lu has already left. This matter is definitely not his doing. Don't mention it to anyone else in the future!"
The man was slightly stunned, not knowing the village chief's intention, but he dared not say more, as the old village chief had already spoken so roughly.
At this moment, Jiang Dahe also walked over: "Old Village Chief, I already know about this matter. What do you think?"
The old village chief was quite evasive and only then came to the corner of Niutian Village, saying to Jiang Dahe: "This matter must be Mr. Lu's doing, but be sure not to spread it around. After all, Zhao Dalei has a special identity. Immortal Lu has done such a great deed for Niutian Village. We must keep our mouths shut!"
Jiang Dahe quickly nodded, his eyes becoming solemn. He naturally understood what the old village chief had said.
Not long after, Xiaohua also received the news, and her heart became even more worried.
She knew that Lu Fan was doing all this for her. If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have become like this.
Meanwhile, in Qingshui Town, Lu Fan had a indifferent expression, eating and drinking in a tavern, appearing even more nonchalant. He wanted to see what ability the second son of the Zhao family possessed. Su Dan Novel Network
"Young man, can you give me something to eat!"
Just then, an old man walked over, looking ragged, even his hair was a bit messy, as if he were begging on the streets.
Lu Fan glanced at him and threw him a few steamed buns.
The old beggar looked at them and shook his head: "I think the roast chicken in your hand is good, why don't you give it to me!"
Lu Fan frowned. He hadn't expected this old beggar to be so difficult to deal with, not even looking at the steamed buns, and even setting his sights on his roast chicken.
Thinking for a moment, Lu Fan seemed to recall something: "How much is this roast chicken?"
"What, you don't have money?"
The old beggar smiled: "You're not planning to dine and dash, are you? You're even better than this old beggar!"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes, not knowing how to respond. He had just arrived in the Spirit Realm and didn't know the currency of this world. He had casually ordered some wine and dishes, only to realize he had nothing to pay with.
"Shopkeeper, this kid doesn't have money and wants to dine and dash!"
The old beggar shouted, grabbed a roast chicken from Lu Fan, and ran towards the outside, looking quite skilled, as if he often did such things.
Lu Fan was slightly stunned, not expecting this old beggar to be so cunning. Just as he got up, the shopkeeper walked over, glanced at Lu Fan, and his expression turned unfriendly: "Young man, I run a small business. I can see you're not from Qingshui Town, and you've ordered such a spread. It's quite expensive. If you don't have money to pay, you won't be able to leave today!"
"What are you saying, how could I not have money to pay!"
Lu Fan smiled awkwardly: "How about this! I can promise you one condition, and then the bill for this meal will be settled, how about that?"
"I've seen people dine and dash, but I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you. What can you do for me, to actually want to exchange a condition for a meal!"
The shopkeeper's expression was unfriendly: "To tell you the truth! I despise people like you the most, doing nothing all day, but thinking about eating and drinking excessively, and even dining and dashing!"
Lu Fan stood frozen, not knowing what to say. The shopkeeper's words made him seem even more worthless.
However, no matter what, he was in the wrong, and he couldn't be too harsh.
"I think the sword in your hand is quite nice, so I'll use it as collateral!"
The shopkeeper glanced at the Tai Xu Sword: "But don't do such things next time, otherwise it's not good if people see it!"
As the shopkeeper spoke, he walked towards the Tai Xu Sword. Just as he was about to pick it up, Lu Fan lunged forward and snatched the Tai Xu Sword back.
"If you fancy something else, I can give it to you, but this Tai Xu Sword is no ordinary item!" Lu Fan said with a solemn expression.
The shopkeeper's face immediately turned sullen. Lu Fan, at such a young age, didn't look like someone without money, but dining and dashing here was something he couldn't tolerate.
Just as the stalemate continued, a woman in green walked over: "It's just the cost of a meal, there's no need to make such a fuss!"
After speaking, the woman took out a string of copper coins: "Are these enough?"
"Enough, enough!"
The shopkeeper nodded quickly, even flattering, and said to Lu Fan: "This matter is dismissed today, but don't do such things in the future!"
Lu Fan was slightly stunned, frowning at the same time, and looked at the woman in green: "I have no connection with you, why are you paying for me?"
"Indeed, there is no connection!"
Bai Xiaoqing smiled: "But I see you are a person of fine appearance, and you don't look like someone who can't afford to eat. You must have encountered some difficulties, so you don't need to be so worried!"
"I dislike owing favors. May I know your surname, girl? When I have money in the future, I will definitely come to repay you!" Lu Fan said, cupping his fists.
"I don't think that's necessary!"
The bearded man beside him stepped forward: "My lady has always been benevolent and charitable. Consider this meal our treat!"
After speaking, the bearded man pulled Bai Xiaoqing away and returned to their seats.
"Hu Zi, what are you doing?"
Bai Xiaoqing said: "The man was being kind and wanted to repay me. Why must you be like this!"
"Miss may not know, there are many bad people in this world, let alone people like this who dine and dash, they don't seem like good people!"
