"Little friend, you jest!"
"These are some arrangements by the clan. Actually, I also feel they are somewhat improper, and I have protested!"
"But alas, my family absolutely refused, saying I should pay attention to safety when I'm out!"
"That's why it ended up like this. I hope little friend doesn't mind!"
Seeing Zhou Xuan appear in the hall, Fang Wanhai and the others immediately became enthusiastic, cupping their hands and explaining to Zhou Xuan, as if they were afraid Zhou Xuan would misunderstand their intentions.
"Old Fang, you're too kind!"
"Your family must be overly concerned about your safety, which is why they arranged this!"
"You've come so early, you probably haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"
"How about we have breakfast together, and then I'll treat you?"
Hearing Fang Wanhai's words, Zhou Xuan simply chuckled, not delving any further.
He just hadn't expected that someone he casually saved on the road yesterday turned out to be of considerable status.
After all, traveling with an escort of soldiers was not something ordinary people could afford!
"Since the divine physician invites us, we naturally cannot refuse!"
"It's just that we might be imposing on Brother Lu. I hope Brother Lu doesn't mind!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's invitation, Fang Wanhai did not refuse. They had come to the Lu family to seek treatment today, which was only one of their objectives.
The second, and more important, objective was to get to know Zhou Xuan!
After returning yesterday, Fang Linfan had told Fang Wanhai everything that had happened.
When Fang Wanhai learned that Zhou Xuan was a cultivator of the Creation Realm at such a young age, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
He then immediately ordered an investigation into Zhou Xuan's background, and the results brought him some pleasant surprises.
He discovered that a very important figure had been involved in Zhou Xuan's growth trajectory!
And this important figure turned out to be an old acquaintance of his!
Knowing this, Fang Wanhai became even more excited!
Thus, early this morning, he brought his men directly to the Lu family.
His purpose was to come early to build a good relationship with Zhou Xuan. Therefore, why would he reject the goodwill shown by Zhou Xuan?
"Oh, Old Fang, you flatter me!"
"Adding a couple of chopsticks to the meal is hardly an imposition!"
"It's just that we usually eat simple fare. I hope Old Fang doesn't mind!"
"Simple fare is good! I like simple fare the most. If it were delicacies, I might not be used to them!"
"Who among the common folk wasn't raised on simple fare? We must not forget our roots!"
"Old Lu speaks the truth..."
Seeing the two old men engaging in formal pleasantries beside him, Zhou Xuan rolled his eyes helplessly.
If it weren't for the fact that they were both older, and that he wanted to uphold the good tradition of respecting the old and cherishing the young, Zhou Xuan would have really wanted to go up and give each of them a whack.
