"What?" Lu Fan exclaimed. If his guess was correct, Yang Xiu and Yang Qian should be Soul realm powerhouses. How could they possibly fall ill? Unless it was the great hurdle of lifespan...
Lu Fan's eyes twitched, and a bad feeling washed over him.
"I'm going to the provincial capital immediately!" Lu Fan said, hanging up the phone.
The Bugatti supercar, the ultimate choice for pursuing speed. Lu Fan and Duanmu Xiu felt the thrill of a life-or-death race! Even Duanmu Xiu's long hair clung desperately to the little girl's head, as if afraid of being left behind.
In the Bai family's residence in the provincial capital, Yang Xiu and Yang Qian were lying on two hospital beds in the same room. Their faces were extremely grim, and they were completely devoid of strength.
Beside them, Old Master Bai sat with a worried expression. Bai Xuemei's eyes were red from crying, and she kept looking at her phone.
"Grandpa! Lu Fan is here, and Grandpa Yang can be saved," Bai Xuemei suddenly said, rushing out as she spoke.
A sharp glint flashed in Old Master Bai's eyes. He glanced at Yang Xiu and Yang Qian, then turned and followed them out.
On the hospital beds, Yang Xiu and Yang Qian's complexions immediately worsened.
Lu Fan and Duanmu Xiu got out of the car and saw someone rushing towards them, only to throw herself into Lu Fan's arms.
"Xiao Fan! Woo woo... you're finally here. Hurry and save the two Grandpa Yangs!" Bai Xuemei said, pulling Lu Fan along.
"Alright, take me there," Lu Fan said immediately.
"Stop! You can't go in?" Suddenly, two people at the main entrance reached out and blocked Duanmu Xiu, who was behind Lu Fan.
"Scram!" Duanmu Xiu roared coldly.
"Hmph, is the Bai family a place you can just barge into?" the two doormen snorted.
Lu Fan didn't look back, calling out, "Handle it yourself!" and ran inside with Bai Xuemei.
*Bang bang...* Duanmu Xiu unleashed two kicks, sending the two guards flying. *Bang bang...* They hit the ground with dull thuds.
"Audacious!" Suddenly, more than a dozen people rushed out from the courtyard, quickly surrounding Duanmu Xiu. These dozen people were all masters above the Qi realm, and among them was a white-haired expert at the Transformation realm.
However, Lu Fan seemed not to notice, running towards the courtyard.
"Heh heh! Master has finally allowed me to kill!" Duanmu Xiu suddenly smiled.
Lu Fan and Bai Xuemei ran inside, just in time to see Old Master Bai trembling as he came to greet them.
"Old Master! It's been a few years, and your health seems even better than before. It seems you've accumulated a lot of good karma!" Lu Fan said, cupping his fist in greeting to Old Master Bai.
"Young friend Lu Fan! I'm grateful! Please, young friend, diagnose my two old brothers from the Yang family." Old Master Bai then stepped aside.
Lu Fan didn't stand on ceremony and went straight into the room.
"Lu Fan! Alas! You shouldn't have come!" Seeing Lu Fan, Yang Xiu suddenly shook his head slightly and sighed.
"Lu Fan! You can't cure our illness. You should leave quickly!" Yang Qian also said, his face changing.
"My two old brothers! Since I'm already here, why the rush? Besides, can we truly escape?" Lu Fan smiled slightly, sat down in front of Yang Xiu, and began to take his pulse.
Beside them, Bai Xuemei was completely bewildered. Were the three of them speaking in riddles? What did they mean?
At the doorway, Old Master Bai's expression shifted repeatedly. Finally, he gritted his teeth, a hint of ruthlessness appearing on his face.
"My old brother! You've been poisoned! If this poison appeared in the past, I could have easily cured it, but now, I'm afraid I'm powerless! Alas!" Lu Fan suddenly sighed.
"I assume my old brother Yang Qian has also been poisoned. It seems there's no need to take his pulse," Lu Fan added, looking at Yang Qian.
"Lu Fan! Is it really... really incurable?" Bai Xuemei asked anxiously.
"Perhaps... the person who poisoned them will have the antidote!" Lu Fan suddenly said.
"The person who poisoned them? Lu Fan, you mean the two Grandpa Yangs were poisoned by someone else? Who poisoned them?" Bai Xuemei asked, startled.
"The two old brothers of the Yang family are both Soul realm powerhouses. Who could have poisoned them? Old Master Bai, do you know this person?" Lu Fan suddenly turned to Old Master Bai and asked.
"Heh heh! Young friend Lu Fan, you're so clever!" Old Master Bai suddenly laughed and then said, "These two old fellows followed me when they were in their thirties. They did a lot for our Bai family. However, our Bai family has also treated them well, supporting them for decades.
It's a pity they misjudged their position. They thought that when they got old, they could live in comfort. They forgot that they were always servants and needed to serve their masters. I wanted them to kill you, but they refused. They even lectured me on how to behave.
Hmph! Why should I keep two useless people? Since they have such a good relationship with young friend, why not let him accompany you? I, the Bai family, can be considered to be fulfilling your wishes!" Old Master Bai chuckled. At this moment, two Soul realm experts appeared beside him.
"The Bai family's strength is indeed formidable, to be able to keep so many Soul realm experts around. No wonder they dare to abandon experts like the Yang brothers so readily. Bai Bin even begged me to spare the Bai family, but it seems he underestimated his father's power." Lu Fan's lips curved slightly, but a deep killing intent was hidden within his smile.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! This... this wasn't you. It couldn't have been you, right?" Bai Xuemei, who was stunned, finally came to her senses and immediately rushed to Old Master Bai's side, asking in disbelief.
"You ungrateful girl! Refusing to serve the Bai family and running off to start your own empire. What use do we have for you in the Bai family?" Old Master Bai flicked his hand, throwing Bai Ruomei aside. He then signaled to the two people beside him and retreated.
*Whoosh whoosh...* The two Soul realm experts immediately lunged at Lu Fan.
However, before their fists could touch Lu Fan, a sword light flashed behind them. The two instantly froze, then exchanged a glance before collapsing to the ground. A bloody hole had appeared in their backs.
At the same time, a petite figure appeared in front of Lu Fan. It was Duanmu Xiu.
"You... you actually..." Old Master Bai was stunned. The fact that this little girl had entered meant that all those who had tried to stop her were dead. How could such a small girl be so powerful?
"Old Master Bai! Make your move! Don't underestimate my little disciple; she won't hesitate to kill you," Lu Fan said coldly.
