"Are you the sect master of Luoyan Gate? Then... the Yan family...?" The leaders of the six major families beside him stirred slightly. It seemed Luoyan Gate had always belonged to the Yan family.
"I have no intention of taking over Luoyan Gate. It was just a coincidence that I obtained Luoyan Gate's Luoying Swordplay and Liuyun Formation, becoming its sect master. However, Luoyan Gate has no remaining members, and I am a solitary master.
Furthermore, I helped the Yan family ancestor break through to the Bian Realm, and the Yan family ancestor has since kept silent about Luoyan Gate. Nowadays, the descendants of the Yan family only wish to make money and no longer aspire to restore the Yan family's glory," Lu Fan said indifferently.
"Alas! The Yan family ancestor needed help to break through to the Bian Realm. It truly is not what it used to be! Now that Luoyan Gate is in the hands of the Prefect, and its unique martial arts have been taught to the young talents of the major families, Luoyan Gate will surely rise to glory again!" Zhuge Qingyun said eagerly from the side.
...
After a few exchanges, everyone discussed the Hua Rong Prefecture and how to defend the immortal mountains of Huaxia, preventing the people of Hanshi Xuan from returning for revenge. Then, Lu Fan and Zhuge Xian left Zhuge Mountain Villa.
Crossing the great mountains, they found Lu Fan's car, and the two got in.
"Brother Fan! Is your injury completely healed? How about I examine you..." Zhuge Xian's eyes flickered, and she reached out to unbutton Lu Fan's clothes.
"Stop! I'm completely healed. Don't touch me!" Lu Fan dodged to the side as if he were afraid of being violated.
"Tsk! It's not like we haven't touched before. Why are you so nervous? Come here, let me see if you've really become a little useless," Zhuge Xian rolled her eyes and pressed her body towards Lu Fan.
This guy was stubborn and wouldn't yield easily. It was the same way he got his way abroad last time. Later, she wanted to be gentle, but he didn't respond to that. Hmph! She had to resort to more forceful methods.
"Be careful...!" Suddenly, Lu Fan shouted and grabbed Zhuge Xian, flying out of the car instantly.
Bang... A fierce force hit the car, and with a whoosh, the car was sent flying. It flipped several times in the air, crashed to the ground with a bang, and was completely deformed.
Zhuge Xian instantly broke out in a cold sweat. It was true that casual encounters carried risks! If they had been a moment slower, they would have become a pair of dead lovers. That would have been truly romantic even in death.
"Old man! You're quite ruthless! Why do you want to kill me?" Lu Fan asked coldly, holding Zhuge Xian as they slowly landed, looking at the people in front of them.
In front of them stood five people: an old man around seventy, and four men over fifty. They all glared at Lu Fan and Zhuge Xian, as if their eyes could kill, they would have been flayed countless times.
"Hmph! Why? You killed my son and my family's ancestor. How can I not avenge this?" a man in his fifties said angrily.
"Oh! People from the Duanmu family!" Lu Fan nodded, realizing he had overlooked them.
"Are you forcing me to annihilate your clan?" Lu Fan asked indifferently. Although his tone was light, every word struck the hearts of the people opposite him.
"Hmph! Even if we die today, we will eliminate you!" the Duanmu family head roared and charged at Lu Fan.
The people behind him followed suit, their weapons whistling as they swung down at Lu Fan's head and face. They were clearly in a desperate state.
"Alright! Then I shall fulfill your wish!" With a swish, the Luoying Sword appeared in his hand. Lu Fan held Zhuge Xian's slender waist with one arm and swung his precious sword with the other, transforming into a shadow that weaved through the five people.
Pfft, pfft, pfft...! Several blood lines spurted out, and the five men fell to the ground.
Lu Fan sheathed his sword and was about to leave with Zhuge Xian when he suddenly looked to the side. Behind a large rock not far away, a little girl of five or six years old stood up. The girl was delicate and cute, but she looked at Lu Fan with a face full of hatred.
"Kill me!" the little girl suddenly said.
"Why?" Lu Fan was somewhat surprised. Why would such a young girl say such a thing?
"Because I must kill you!" the girl said, glaring.
"Oh? What's your name?" Lu Fan looked at the little girl, his heart slightly shaken. He asked again.
"My name is Duanmu Xiu! I will definitely avenge my father and the clan leader!" Duanmu Xiu said, still glaring at Lu Fan.
"Alright! I'll remember you!" Lu Fan said and left with Zhuge Xian.
"Why didn't you interrogate that little girl, making her reveal where the Duanmu family is hiding? Perhaps we really should have annihilated the Duanmu clan," Zhuge Xian said suddenly to Lu Fan, sensing a hint of unease in Duanmu Xiu's eyes.
"She's still just a child," Lu Fan said indifferently.
"But I feel she's no ordinary child," Zhuge Xian said hurriedly.
"I feel it too. So what?" Lu Fan said indifferently.
...
With the car gone, Lu Fan and Zhuge Xian had to walk on the country road. However, Zhuge Xian didn't seem to care. As long as she could be with Lu Fan, she seemed happier than anything. Even though this guy didn't dare to be intimate with her...
Tap, tap, tap... A three-wheeled farm vehicle carrying a cartload of wheat straw passed by them.
"Heh heh..." Zhuge Xian suddenly chuckled and glanced at Lu Fan.
Whoosh... Whoosh... The two of them leaped onto the cart filled with wheat straw. The straw was soft, and they immediately created a large pit, as if burying themselves within it.
"Hee hee..." Zhuge Xian giggled and pounced on Lu Fan. With a rustle, she buried them both in the wheat straw.
...
Tap, tap, tap... Tap, tap, tap... Not long after, the farm vehicle drove into a small village and into the yard of a farmhouse. With a crash, the truck bed was lifted, and the cartload of wheat straw was unloaded. Rolling... two people tumbled out.
"Holy crap..." The old farmer driving the vehicle was instantly stunned.
Whoosh, whoosh... Two figures suddenly flew away...
Plop... The old farmer, startled, sat down on the ground. Gods! I saw gods! So gods also like to be naked...
Zhuge Xian blushed and lowered her head, holding Lu Fan's arm without a word. She looked so obedient, which was truly unprecedented.
It really was risky to have a casual encounter. Everything was going fine, but why did that old farmer have to unload the truck? It exposed everything! How embarrassing!
