Treasure Gathering Immortal Furnace

"Is this...okay?" Chen Yao'er lowered her head shyly, thinking that Lu Fan was serious.

This left Lu Fan speechless. He immediately rebuked, "Are you alright? I addressed your late ancestor Chen Xuanli as an equal. In terms of seniority, you should address me as 'Grand Uncle'! You have no respect for elders!"

"Senior~ um... I..." Chen Yao'er was so frightened by Lu Fan's reprimand that she lowered her head and stammered.

Bai Rou'er blushed deeply, her chest turning bright red. She quickly tugged at Chen Yao'er, looked at Lu Fan, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Senior Lu! Yao'er has always been like this, please don't be angry! It's my fault for not teaching her well!"

At this moment, Chen Zhiqi stepped forward and tapped Chen Yao'er on the head, saying, "Yao'er, it's one thing for you to act foolishly in front of me, but don't be so disrespectful to your elders in front of Senior Lu!"

"Brother...I know I was wrong~" Chen Yao'er lowered her head, walked up to Lu Fan, and was about to kneel down to admit her mistake.

However, Lu Fan raised his hand and released spiritual energy to lift her up, saying, "This is a one-time exception. You must learn to protect yourself in the future and not always think about using your body to repay kindness."

"Senior... Yao'er only dares to treat you like this. Actually, Sister Bai..." Chen Yao'er was about to say something.

Before she could even speak, Bai Rou'er quickly covered her mouth, saying, "Senior... Yao'er knows she was wrong and won't say anything more."

Seeing Bai Rou'er's face flushed red, almost turning into Red Rou'er, how could Lu Fan not know what she was thinking?

Back then, by chance, he came to help the Chen family. Bai Rou'er was arranged by Chen Xuanli to accompany him, but at that time, Lu Fan's true essence was depleted, and he was powerless to do so. This resulted in his noble image of not being close to women and focusing on the Dao.

But this inadvertently won Bai Rou'er's heart, which left Lu Fan quite helpless.

After all, how can a woman repay someone who loves her and has saved her life multiple times?

There is probably no other way but to dedicate oneself.

But Lu Fan couldn't actually do it right now. If he really took Bai Rou'er, what difference would there be between him and people like Zhenyu Sanren?

At this moment, Bai Rou'er's eyes were filled with sadness. She seemed to understand that Lu Fan probably didn't have any feelings for her.

After resolving the Chenjiabao matter, Lu Fan will also leave, and at that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to meet again.

"Never mind," Lu Fan slightly raised his hand, then looked at Chen Zhi Qiu and asked, "Does Patriarch Chen have any plans?"

When asked, Chen Zhiqiu pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, this is a place that our ancestors have protected, so we can only rebuild it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan said, "Actually, there's no need to stay here. Chen Family Fort is not a place where spiritual veins gather, so cultivation here is extremely slow. I do have a good place to go, it just depends on whether you have any ideas."

"Senior, do you have a good place to go? Where?" Chen Zhi Qiu was immediately delighted.

Since Lu Fan had already helped the Chen family, he might as well go all the way and said, "If you want to join the Xuan Yang Sword Sect of Feng Kingdom, I'll take you there. What do you say?"

"Xuanyang Sword Sect? I've heard of this sect. It seems they can't form the Core Formation?" Chen Zhiqiu frowned.

"Don't worry, the Core Formation curse has already been broken. If you join, with my connection, you will also receive protection and cultivation resources," Lu Fan said.

"If that's the case, then that would be wonderful!" Chen Zhiqi quickly stood up, his face beaming with surprise.

The reason they stayed in Chenjiabao was because they had nowhere else to go. If there were other places to develop, they would naturally not refuse.

Upon hearing this, Bai Rou'er, who had been feeling a bit down, immediately brightened up with her charming eyes and asked, "Is Senior Lu also at the Xuan Yang Sword Sect?"

"Yes, although he doesn't hold any official position at the moment, he is the only Core Formation cultivator in the Xuan Yang Sword Sect. I'm afraid he will be appointed as an elder soon," Lu Fan said.

"Would that mean I could see Lu every day..." Bai Rou'er asked excitedly, but before she could finish her sentence, she realized she was getting a little too excited and quickly lowered her head to calm herself down.

But those alluring eyes kept drifting towards Lu Fan.

"Senior Lu! We are willing to follow you to the Xuan Yang Sword Sect! Anyway, there aren't many clansmen left in Chen Family Fortress. I believe our ancestors will understand," Chen Zhi Qiu immediately stood up, seemingly having made up his mind.

"That's great! Does this mean we'll have a sect protecting us now?" Chen Yao'er's pretty face was also beaming with undisguised joy.

The remaining members of the Chen family were equally excited, after all, as a minor clan, they were looked down upon by some major sects.

Now that Lu Fan, a Core Formation cultivator, has made an introduction, it's like a windfall.

"Although the Xuan Yang Sword Sect has declined for hundreds of years, it still has three Nascent Soul elders. They will never let you be bullied," Lu Fan said slowly.

"Three...three Nascent Soul Grandmasters?! I've never seen what a Nascent Soul Grandmaster looks like in my entire life!" Chen Zhi Qiu was dumbfounded.

"Senior Lu, when shall we depart?" Bai Rou'er seemed impatient.

After all, being able to go to the Xuan Yang Sword Sect would allow her to spend every day with Lu Fan. Even if some things couldn't be as she wished, just being able to see him would put her mind at ease.

Lu Fan's helping them out at this moment is a hundred times better than giving them any pills or magical artifacts.

"Anytime is fine," Lu Fan said.

"Alright, let's pack up and set off immediately!" Chen Zhi Qiu made up his mind right away.

Just as Lu Fan was about to lead Chen Zhi Qiu and the others back to the Xuan Yang Sword Sect, he suddenly felt a strange movement coming from the spirit beast pouch at his waist.

Upon probing inside with his divine sense, he discovered that the two three-eyed crows that were currently inside the spirit beast pouch had somehow transformed into two enormous blood cocoons!

Moreover, the aura was fluctuating in strength, and it was unclear what had happened.

Lu Fan immediately stood up and said, "I have some urgent matters to attend to and cannot go with you for the time being. However, you can take my token to the Xuan Yang Sword Sect to find Zhang Shouye, who will arrange accommodation and training grounds for you."

"Senior Lu, what happened?" Chen Zhi Qiu was also confused. He was fine just a moment ago, so why did he suddenly have to leave?

"Just a small matter," Lu Fan said, then tossed his token to Chen Zhiqi.

Without lingering, he instantly transformed into a streak of light and fled from Chenjiabao.

At this moment, Lu Fan could clearly feel that the aura of the three-eyed crow in his spirit beast pouch was becoming increasingly strange, and it might be about to open its eyes!

"What's wrong, senior? This doesn't look like a small matter," Chen Yao'er said, startled.

Bai Rou'er stared in the direction Lu Fan had left, her gaze lingering for a long time.

"Since Senior Lu has said so, let's do as he says. Let's pack our things and head to the Xuan Yang Sword Sect immediately!" Chen Zhi Qiu said.
