"Did you remove the spirit gathering array?" Wang Yan suddenly asked Lu Fan.
"Money that comes too easily can be toxic. A little cleansing is good for them," Lu Fan replied.
"Dad! How can money be washed?" Lu Chenglong's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Chenglong! If Dad doesn't give you any pocket money for a week, what will you do?" Lu Fan suddenly asked.
"I... I'll earn it!" Lu Chenglong said nonchalantly.
"Wow! My son is so capable, he can earn money himself! Then can I not give you pocket money this week?" Lu Fan asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Lu Chenglong replied and ran off to practice. Every day after school, he would practice for an hour without fail, having formed the habit.
Lu Fan smiled slightly and went to practice as well. He practiced with his son every day. Lu Chenglong was learning swordsmanship very quickly, having already mastered a large portion of Duanmu Xiu's techniques. However, he couldn't grasp the essence of swordsmanship as Duanmu Xiu did.
He lacked Duanmu Xiu's direct experience, so he needed to comprehend it bit by bit. Nevertheless, Lu Fan was not in a hurry, content to watch Lu Chenglong's gradual progress.
...
"Lu Fan, I want to go to the provincial capital tomorrow to buy some clothes!" Wang Yan said softly, leaning in his arms.
"Okay! Go buy whatever you like!" Lu Fan pinched Wang Yan's delicate chin and said.
"I want you to come with me!" Wang Yan suddenly said.
"Alright!" Lu Fan said dotingly.
"Hmph! Time to hand in your homework!" Wang Yan suddenly flipped over...
...
The next morning, Lu Fan drove out the Bugatti sports car. Wang Yan wore a bright red suit and skirt, and the two of them left the villa.
As the car drove through the village, it immediately attracted the attention of the villagers. With few tourists nowadays, the villagers' businesses were all doing poorly. They were all squatting by their stalls, staring with envious eyes as Lu Fan and Wang Yan drove away in the sports car.
"Alas! When will we be like them, doing nothing, driving luxury cars, with beautiful women on our arms, just cruising around."
"Don't even dream about it. Business is bad now, and you can't earn much in a day. Still thinking about driving luxury cars? Hmph! A day's worth of gas money for them is enough for you to earn for several days."
"Yeah! Why did business suddenly go downhill like this? And the vegetables we grow and the chickens we raise don't taste as good as before."
"In the past, it was because Lu Fan developed the cultivation and planting techniques for them, establishing the Bufan Group. Now that they see he has amnesia, they cast him out. They don't even give him his share of the profits. Hmph!"
"Actually, we villagers haven't earned much in these past few years. All the money was earned by the Bufan Group. Lu Fan didn't get anything, and the villagers didn't get anything either. Hmm! I wonder if Lu Fan can still work with us..."
"That's right! Maybe we can find Lu Fan..."
...
Lu Fan's sports car sped on, passing through towns and county seats, leaving behind trails of envious glances. Some envied the sports car, while others envied the alluring red attire of the woman in it.
Lu Fan did not stop, heading directly for the provincial capital. On the bustling streets of the provincial capital, the crowds were like tides. However, seeing the Bugatti sports car and the goddess in red who alighted from it, people couldn't help but glance multiple times. Where did they come from? They must be pure second-generation rich, right?
Some girls even felt an urge to throw themselves into his arms.
"Xiao Fan! Let's go to this clothing store! This place looks very high-class!" Wang Yan said, pointing to a nearby brand boutique.
"Okay!" Lu Fan didn't mind which store they went to. He didn't know much about these things anyway. As long as Wang Yan liked it, it didn't matter what brand it was! Even those cheap clothes from before looked dazzling on Wang Yan.
The two entered the store and looked around. It was indeed a brand store, with every piece of clothing costing over a thousand yuan, some even tens of thousands.
"Welcome, are you two looking for..." a voice came, but it suddenly stopped. A surprised gaze fell upon the two of them.
"Xiao Fan? Sister Wang Yan!?" A figure suddenly rushed over and threw herself into Wang Yan's arms.
"Xue'er!? Is this store yours?" Wang Yan also exclaimed, surprised to have run into Fan Xue'er.
"Xue'er!" Lu Fan scratched his head, calling out with a little excitement.
"Hmph!" Fan Xue'er suddenly rolled her eyes. "Hmph! Tell me, you two... did you come sneakily, or openly?"
"Xue'er!" Wang Yan's face immediately turned red with embarrassment. She and Lu Fan had no official status.
"Hmph! I know!" Fan Xue'er glared at Lu Fan again and said angrily, "You playboy!"
"I... how am I a playboy?" Lu Fan was suddenly overwhelmed. Well, he was indeed a playboy, otherwise, how could his son be so old?
"Sister Wang Yan! What kind of clothes do you want? I'll buy them for you!" Fan Xue'er said enthusiastically, holding Wang Yan's hand.
"Xue'er! I really want to buy a few clothes. But I can't let you buy them for me, just give me a discount." Wang Yan and Xue'er went to pick out clothes, chatting and laughing.
Lu Fan looked embarrassed. He wondered if it would have been better if he had come alone... hehe!
Lost in pleasant thoughts, Lu Fan didn't disturb Wang Yan and Xue'er and wandered off on his own.
Bang... Suddenly, the store door was violently pushed open, and two burly men swaggered in.
"Boss lady!" one of them shouted as soon as he entered.
Fan Xue'er turned around and was immediately startled, her face showing panic. She hurried over.
"Two big brothers! Didn't we already pay the fees for this month a few days ago?" Fan Xue'er said urgently.
"It's our boss's birthday this month, and he's in a good mood. So, we need to pay double the fees for this month," one of the men said, looking at Fan Xue'er with a lewd expression.
"Two big brothers, shouldn't the fees be waived if your boss is happy?" A voice suddenly cut in.
The faces of the two men immediately turned ugly. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lu Fan emerging from between some clothing racks with a look of contempt. As he walked over, he said,
"Who are you, kid? What does it matter to you how much we pay? Get lost!" one of them immediately cursed.
Slap... Suddenly, a slap landed on the face of the man. Then Wang Yan appeared in front of the two men: "I can't even bear to scold my husband, and you dare to curse him? Believe it or not, I'll scratch your faces!"
