164 Physique Refinement Master! (2/2)
Lu Haixuan shook his head and heaved a sigh. He wagered that no one in the Lu family, except for the family elder was able to overcome Tong Shan.
The next day, when Chen Fan arrived at the conference, he registered that everyone looked at him with newfound fear and respect.
The Martial Arts community was a small circle. There had been less than a hundred martial artists who attended this conference, yet six of them had perished last night not very far from the venue. News traveled fast and by then, everyone knew what had happened.
Tong Shan became known as a Physique Refinement Master, and no one dared to think lightly of him and his master.
”Master Chen, I apologize for the ill-treatment. We will move you and Master Tong Shan to the lakeside mansion right away.” A white-haired old man walked over to Chen Fan and said politely.
His name was Lu Tianlong and he was also an internal force user who had reached the peak attainment.
Behind him was a cautious Lu Yanxue.
The Lu family was a martial arts family and therefore, its most important asset was internal force martial artists; companies and connections were much less of a concern to them.
Lu Tianlong had reached the peak of the Internal Force cultivation, and he could be the backbone of any household. Even in the mighty Lu family, he was counted as a significant figure.
”Ok” Chen Fan dipped his chin slightly as a reply.
No one protested the decision; Tong Shan was a Physique Refinement Master, and other than a Grand Masters, no one would dare to speak up against them.
”Ah, and there is my niece Xiao Xue. ”Lu Tianlong turned around and said: ”Xiao Xue, come greet Master Chen and Master Tong Shan.”
The girl had been sassy and had given Chen Fan all kinds of attitude, however, there and then, she was as meek and coy as a kitten.
She hesitated a second as humiliation filled her heart. She plodded toward Chen Fan and greeted them: ”Master Chen, Master Tong Shan.”
”I have heard that you two are acquaintances, why don't you accompany Mr. Chen for the rest of the day?” Lu Tianlong let out a lewd smile.
Lu Yanxue blushed, as a sense of shame and embarrassment festered inside of her.
However, she knew she had no other choice. Her parents were from the offshoot branch of the Lu family and therefore, she was not taken seriously. On the other hand, Lu Tianlong was an important figure of the family clan and controlled over a billion yuan of assets. Worse, he was also an elder of the family. Therefore, Lu Tianlong must oblige his orders unconditionally.
”They are honey trapping me.” Chen Fan cracked a smile.
Lu Yanxue was charming beyond description. As the most popular girl at the Chu Zhou City University, her skin was as fair as the first snow in November. She was wearing a casual outfit, but she still was able to look like a goddess. The Lu family had offered such a drop dead gorgeous lady to Chen Fan.
Let it be Chen Fan's Alchemy skills or Tong Shan's Physique Refinement level, Chen Fan had things that the Lu family really wanted. As for attractive girls such as Lu Yanxue, they were expendable in her family's eyes.
”Very well, Thank you.” Chen Fan nodded.
A broad smile broke over Lu Tianlong's wrinkled face. He laughed out loud as if Chen Fan was his old friend.
After Lu Tianlong left the room, Chen Fan and Lu Yanxue were left alone. An awkward air loomed about the two.
”How is Xiao Qian?” Chen Fan asked.
”She was scared last night and didn't fall asleep until midnight. She is still in bed right now.” Lu Yanxue replied. Then she looked into Chen Fan's eyes and asked: ”Chen Fan, who the hell are you? How could you have someone so powerful as your servant? And why did my family elder try so hard to suck up to you?”
”Don't try to lie to me again, I know Tong Shan is not your cousin… Those lies only work on Xiao Qian.”
She fixed her gaze on Chen Fan, threatening to see through his ruse.
”Who am I?” Chen Fan cracked a smile. ”If I tell you that I am a martial arts GrandMaster as well as a Perfected Dharma Cultivator. Tong Shan was just a Golem I have created. Would you believe me?”
Lu Yanxue batted her lashes at him and hesitated for a while. In the end, she let out a beautiful smile and then said: ”I do.”
”Oh?” Chen Fan was taken aback.
Lu Yanxue gently stamped her feet on the ground and said with faint indignation: ”I don't really care who you are, I am sold to you by my family now anyway. I don't get a choice.
”To be frank with you, I didn't want to come back home at all. My family is going to marry me to a man from a rich family against my will.
”My parents are powerless in the family. They don't know martial arts and neither are they rich. They work as managers in the family company. No one treated me as one of their family members, ever since I was a little girl, I envied my cousins' pretty dolls and imported snacks, but I had nothing. I don't have good grades either, the only thing good about me is my looks.”
”I figured that it would be much better to marry you than some snippy playboy.”
Chen Fan was touched by the girl's complaint.
”I wonder if Xiao Qiong felt the same when she was forced to marry Shen Junwen.”
He held Lu Yanxue's gaze, and let his face grow softer.
”Fine, since fate has brought us together, I will promise you a happy ever after.” Chen Fan thought to himself.
That being said, he still wouldn't marry this girl.
To make an ordinary mortal happy for the rest of her life was a walk in the park to the North Mystic Celestial Lord.
