In the spacious room, there was a warm stove. The charcoal inside was burning vigorously, making the temperature in the room seem like two different worlds compared to the outside world.
However, at this moment, Fan Shuhe felt a bone-chilling coldness.
He didn't know when, but there was a living person in his room.
This person's sideburns were faintly white, but his eyes were very clear and slightly stern. His slightly purplish-brown face, his forehead, cheeks, eyes, and ears all made people feel that he was abnormally plump and full, filled with a kind of strange lively and lively aura. His rectangular face was set off by his thin lips, and the corners of his mouth were stubbornly bent downwards, sinking inwards.
His gaze was cold as he looked at Fan Shuhe, as if in his eyes, this great expert of the tenth layer of inner strength was no different from a beggar on the roadside. He couldn't cause any ripples in his heart.
It was this kind of calm gaze that filled Fan Shuhe's heart with shock and an indescribable fear.
As the current head of the Fan family, he was obviously a person with a lot of experience and knowledge. Furthermore, to be able to successfully reach the tenth layer of inner strength before the age of 60 and reach the peak of the acquired stage, his talent and hard work were far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
At the same time, in order to revitalize the Fan family, he made friends with many powerful people. For example, the two brothers of the Xiao family were friends that he did his best to rope in.
However, among all of his friends, he had never met such an unfathomable person. He didn't even know when this person had entered his room.
After pulling and pulling, he had already blocked his son Fan Haori behind him. Only then did he spread his feet apart, assuming a posture that allowed him to attack or retreat as he calmly asked, "Who are you, sir? What business do you have in my humble residence?"
Fan Haori stole a glance from behind his father. The shock in his heart was no less than his father's. It was the first time he had seen his father's somewhat panicked expression.
He had always thought that his father was a man of indomitable spirit, a great expert of the tenth layer of inner strength who could stand proudly in Zhengtong County City without batting an eyelid even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. Therefore, when his father revealed a look of fear, his heart was also filled with a monstrous wave.
That strange person whose hair was a little white, but whose body was full of vitality, did not answer, nor did he pay any attention to him. Instead, he turned around and sat down on the large chair in the center of the room.
His movements were not fast, but it made Fan Shuhe and his son feel an unparalleled sense of gravity.
"You're right."
This person slowly opened his mouth. His voice wasn't loud, but it contained a kind of power that caused people's hearts to tremble.
Fan Shuhe was taken aback. Why did this sentence seem to be at odds with the content of his question?
Carefully and respectfully, he said, "Your Excellency is speaking of …"
"Those two disciples of this old man are indeed not people who would run away in the face of danger."
Fan Shuhe sucked in a breath of cold air. His eyes suddenly widened as he said, "You, you're the master of the two brothers from the Xiao family?"
The man said coldly, "What? Didn't those two little fellows tell you?"
Fan Shuhe hesitated for a moment, then retracted his feet and stood side by side. He said respectfully, "Senior, the two brothers didn't mention their master to me. They said that only those who have reached the tenth level of inner strength are qualified to use their master's name to travel the world. "
Although his words were a little strange, they were the truth.
Before this, Fan Shuhe had asked the Xiao brothers many times in a roundabout way, but the two of them were very tight-lipped, so they answered with the same words.
If an ordinary master of the ninth level of inner strength had said that, Fan Shuhe might not have believed it.
The tenth level of inner strength was the limit that could be reached by an acquired master. Although there were many masters of the ninth level of inner strength, who could guarantee that they would be able to break through this last barrier and reach the tenth level?
However, the Xiao brothers were different. Not only did they have two sets of incomparably precious armguards, but they also clearly mastered a kind of innate combat skill.
Naturally, it was hard for people to doubt the words of such a person.
Fan Shuhe had secretly guessed many times, and even thought that the two brothers' master might be a master of the innate realm.
However, this was only a guess. After all, the gap between him and a master of the innate realm was too big, making him feel that it was unattainable.
However, after seeing this extraordinary person at this moment, his heart pounded violently.
Perhaps, his previous guesses were not wrong …
The corner of the man's mouth finally showed a trace of a smile, obviously very satisfied with this sentence.
Fan Shuhe saw this trace of a smile full of confidence, and his heart sank slightly.
His expression became more respectful, "Junior Fan Shuhe has been friends with the two brothers for many years, and we are as close as brothers. May I ask senior's name? If you can live in my humble abode, I am willing to serve senior on behalf of the Xiao brothers. "
The man was slightly startled, then laughed and said proudly, "I am Lu Xinwen."
Fan Shuhe and his son trembled slightly at the same time.
He Yiming did not know this person's name, but as a native of Jin Linguo, how could the father and son not know this terrifying name?
In particular, this person's evil reputation of slaughtering thousands of people in a day was enough to make any power tremble in fear.
Unless a master of the innate realm fought to the death and did not retreat, no matter how many masters there were, they could not kill a master of the innate realm. In front of a master of the innate realm, masters of the innate realm could not pose the slightest threat unless their numbers reached a terrifying level.
In other words, a master of the innate realm regarded human lives as grass, and relied entirely on his own strength.
The muscles on Fan Shuhe's face twitched slightly, and he hurriedly said, "So it is senior Lu who has graced us with his presence. This junior did not know, please forgive me."
Lu Xinwen waved his sleeve, and said, "Forget it, since you are friends with my two disciples, I will not make things difficult for you." Then, his gaze moved to Fan Haori's face, and he suddenly said, "You, are you afraid of I?"
Fan Shuhe's heart tightened, these masters of the innate realm were unpredictable. If Fan Haori did not deal with them well, then it would be extremely bad.
However, although Fan Haori was nervous to death, he was still very clear-headed at this moment. He took a step forward, walked out from behind his father, and knelt down in front of Lu Xinwen, and said, "Great Uncle, grandnephew was indeed afraid, but now I am not."
Lu Xinwen looked at him with interest, but did not stop him from kneeling, and asked, "Then why?"
"Grandnephew was afraid when I heard of your reputation, but when I thought of you being the master of the two innate uncles, I am not afraid anymore." Fan Haori's voice was trembling at first, but it quickly became fluent. It could be seen that what he was thinking and what he said was not a lie.
Lu Xinwen's eyes showed a trace of satisfaction, and he said, "Not bad, you are very alert, and your courage is not bad. You have already reached the seventh layer of internal force in your twenties, and more importantly, you have not swallowed any golden cores. This kind of talent is one in a thousand. "
Fan Haori's heart moved, and he suddenly had a good idea, and he immediately kowtowed again. His head made contact with the ground, and there was a crisp sound. When he raised his head, his forehead was already blood red, clearly because he did not use internal force to protect his head.
Lu Xinwen smiled, and said, "Why are you kowtowing to me?"
Fan Haori said solemnly, "Great Uncle, grandnephew admires you, and does not ask to be your disciple. I only ask to be able to follow by your side in the future and serve you day and night to fulfill my filial piety."
Fan Shuhe was surprised and happy, but he knew that if he could gain the favor of this old man, then whether it was for Fan Haori or for the entire Fan family, it would be a great thing from the heavens.
However, when facing Lu Xinwen, he was as quiet as a cicada in winter, so how could he dare to ask? He could only look at him with an expectant gaze, and at the same time, respectfully bowed.
Lu Xinwen's expression did not change, and he said, "You want to follow by my side? Are you not afraid of my infamy?"
Fan Shuhe thought to himself, "So you also know that your infamy is widespread." However, he did not dare to say anything, and at the same time, he was secretly worried about how Haori would deal with this.
Fan Haori raised his head, and said loudly, "Great Uncle, your reputation in Jinlin is like the sun at noon, how can it be considered infamy?"
Lu Xinwen laughed, and said, "In the past twenty years, everyone in Jinlin has said that I slaughtered more than a thousand people from the Zhu family. Is this not considered infamy?"
Fan Haori said confidently, "Granduncle, if I remember correctly, it should be the people of the Zhu Family who provoked you first. You only took revenge openly after you succeeded in your cultivation." He paused, and said loudly, "We cultivators naturally repay our debts of gratitude and revenge. If we have misgivings about this, how can we be a man?"
Lu Xinwen finally laughed aloud, and there was an indescribable refreshment in his laughter.
The Fan father and son both relaxed, and the inexplicable pressure they felt when they heard Lu Xinwen's name completely disappeared.
The two of them clicked their tongues in wonder because even they did not know why they had such a wonderful feeling. For a moment, they admired the old man even more.
Lu Xinwen stopped smiling, and said, "Very well, child, you're very much to my liking. I'll keep you by my side."
Fan Haori was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed, but this time, before his head touched the ground, Lu Xinwen waved his sleeve, and he immediately stood up involuntarily.
"Since I've kept you by my side, I might as well tell you some things. Over the years, the rumors outside are not all true. Although the Zhu family was despicable, I was the one who destroyed it. However, there were more than a thousand people in the Zhu family. How could I kill them all alone? When I killed his way into the Zhu family, he only killed more than a hundred of the stubborn core members of the Zhu family who besieged I. As for the rest, they fled in all directions long ago. " He smiled, and said, "More than a thousand people fled in all directions. Even if I wanted to kill them all, there was nothing I could do. The rumors outside are all baseless and cannot be fully believed. "
The Fan father and son widened their eyes, and it took them a while to react. However, they did not look down on him because of this, and instead showed sincere gratitude on their faces.
Given Lu Xinwen's status, it was an honor that he would explain to them. They had never thought of this before.
Lu Xinwen glanced at them, and said, "Do you know why I'm telling you this?"
"(Junior) grandnephew does not know."
The Fan father and son said solemnly. Their tone was unprecedentedly respectful.
Lu Xinwen leisurely said, "Every time Xiao Yi and Fan brothers return to the mountain after their training, they will always talk about your merits, saying that you are their life's brother. Also, I find this little baby pleasing to the eye. Otherwise … "
He snorted. Although his tone was not harsh, it made Fan Shuhe break out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, the Fan family leader was very glad. He had long seen through the unfathomable origins of the two brothers of the Xiao family, so he had always been deliberately on good terms with them. If not for this, the consequences today would have been unimaginable.
Lu Xinwen slowly stood up, and said, "Arrange a room for me. I'm going to rest for half a day. As for the Xiao brothers, you don't have to worry. They should have gone to pick up my eldest disciple. However, I don't know what happened. There's no news. "
Fan Haori's heart moved slightly, and he plucked up his courage, and asked, "Granduncle, is eldest uncle also here?"
Lu Xinwen smiled slightly. He actually admired this child's cleverness.
"Yes, my eldest disciple is called Zhuang Yuan. Have you heard of him?"
Fan Haori's expression changed slightly, and he said, "I've heard of him. Eldest uncle is a famous cultivator in our Jinlin Kingdom. It is said that his fire system cultivation method has reached the tenth level." He paused for a moment before he continued, "But according to what I know, Eldest Uncle hasn't joined any aristocratic family, and he's inherited your mantle in this aspect."
Lu Xinwen nodded slightly. Then Fan Shuhe personally arranged a place for him to stay. As for Fan Haori, he really put down his airs as the eldest young master of the Fan family, and started to serve him personally.
This was undoubtedly the most gratifying thing for Fan Shuhe.
However, this good mood only lasted for two days. On the third day, there was still no news from Zhuang Yuan or the two brothers of the Xiao family.
At this point, even Lu Xinwen, who had great confidence in them, could not sit still.
He called Fan Shuhe over and began to ask in detail. What he paid the most attention to was undoubtedly the process of the Xiao brothers fighting with He Quanxin.
After hearing this news, Lu Xinwen pondered for a long time. Then, he had Fan Haori board a small car, and they headed to the Yuan family estate.
After leaving the city, they headed west and finally arrived at a short forest outside the Yuan family estate.
The land nearby all belonged to the Yuan family estate. However, at this moment, Lu Xinwen suddenly called for a stop.
Fan Haori, who was personally driving, quickly stopped. Then, he saw Lu Xinwen get off with a grave expression, and walk around the inconspicuous small forest a few times.
Fan Haori was filled with doubts and uneasiness, but he did not dare to speak.
Ever since Lu Xinwen came to their home, he had been full of confidence, as if he was an omnipotent god. Nothing in the world could trouble him.
Indeed, with the power of innate experts, if they could not do something, it would be difficult for others to do it.
However, in the short forest, Lu Xinwen showed an expression that made Fan Haori feel disbelief. The expression seemed to contain shock, anger, sadness, and other strong negative auras.
At this moment, the old man in front of him was no longer a high and mighty innate expert. He suddenly became an ordinary old man.
After a long time, Lu Xinwen quietly returned to the side of the car. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Fan Haori asked carefully, "Great-uncle, what happened?"
Lu Xinwen glanced at him and said slowly, "When I passed by this short forest, I suddenly felt unusually uncomfortable."
Fan Haori's face changed. He said, "Great-uncle, you must take care."
Lu Xinwen forced a smile and waved his hand. "It's fine, I'm just a little uneasy. However, I suddenly thought of Zhuang Yuan and Xiao Yifan just now. So … "He sighed and said," I'm actually a little worried. They're probably in danger. "
Fan Haori's heart was as cold as ice, but he still said, "Great-uncle, First Uncle and Second Uncle's martial arts are unparalleled, so they'll definitely be fine."
Lu Xinwen waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "I know better than you how strong the three of them are when they join forces. If there's anyone who can really keep them here, it's only an innate expert."
With that, he strode away. He actually abandoned the carriage and walked directly to the Yuan family's manor.
He walked slower and slower, and his expression became more grave. Fan Haori, who was following behind him, became more and more anxious.
Finally, Lu Xinwen stopped more than 100 meters away from the entrance of the Yuan family's manor. He raised his head and stared at the continuous mountain villa. His eyes flashed with an incomparable radiance.
Their actions had long alarmed the guards at the manor's entrance, but they did not even dare to breathe loudly at this moment.
Although the guards did not know who the old man was, they could clearly feel the pressure from the old man. They were like frogs being stared at by a poisonous snake, and they could no longer move.
Suddenly, Fan Haori trembled. He did not know why, but he felt an enormous and unimaginable pressure. Although he didn't know where this pressure came from, the terrifying feeling of Mount Tai pressing down on him was definitely not wrong.
Fortunately, it only lasted for a moment before the pressure completely disappeared.
However, at that moment, Lu Xinwen turned around and walked back the way he came without looking back.
Fan Haori was startled, but he immediately turned around and followed closely with lingering fear.
Lu Xinwen returned to the carriage and asked coldly, "How many more days until your appointment with the Yuan family?"
"Great-uncle, there are still five more days."
"Okay, return immediately." Lu Xinwen's voice was very calm as if it did not contain any human emotions, "After returning, I'm going to cultivate in seclusion. Five days later, I'll fight with this person to avenge my disciple's death. "
Fan Haori's complexion instantly became incomparably pale, without a trace of blood!
