The tone of the old man from the Cao family was very calm. He was not angry because Lu Fan received his palm, nor was he arrogant because of the token rewarded by the Cao family.
He seemed to be stating an extremely common thing and telling a fact.
"I do have a lot of enemies, and all of them are running to take my life. If you, the Cao family, can help me block them, it would be really heartwarming."
A bright smile broke out on Lu Fan's face. As one of the top ten ancient martial arts families in the ancient martial arts world, the Cao family did have such ability. At the very least, it would not be a problem to keep people safe.
"Well, it seems you have made your choice."
The old man of the Cao family nodded. He really wanted to win over Lu Fan, a young man in his twenties who could compete with him without falling behind. Even if he didn't win over him today, when he left this place, he would probably win over other ancient people.
The Wu family will also take the initiative to go there and compete to extend an olive branch.
"However, I think this is two different things from giving the old man his freedom."
Lu Fan changed the topic: "You should know that it's not me who wants to give the old man his freedom, it's just the rules set by your Cao family here."
"As said, you are just a lowly slave. There is no need for the Cao family to lose face in front of so many people for a slave, right?"
He didn't want to fall out with the Cao family. The Cao family's status and power in the ancient martial arts world was no less than that of the Ma family in the medical sect.
He is currently entangled in old things and does not want to create a top-notch enemy for himself at this critical juncture.
After hearing Lu Fan's words, Wang Li, who had always been nervous, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
When he saw the old man of the Cao family actually taking out the Cao family token to win over Lu Fan and insisting on putting his ancestor to death, he almost despaired.
He was born in an ancient martial arts family, so he naturally knew the terrifying influence contained in this small token of the Cao family.
However, he never expected that Lu Fan not only refused to accept it, but also insisted on returning his Wang family ancestor's freedom.
Wang Li clenched his fist tightly. He had already made up his mind. Even if he died soon, he would rush forward and block Lu Fan's punch!
"Lu Fan!"
Shen Kuo also got up from the ground at this time. Like Wang Li, he was initially worried that Lu Fan would accept Mr. Cao's invitation and become a disciple of the Cao family.
But now, when he saw that Lu Fan actually dared to contradict Mr. Cao and did not give him any face at all.
"Mr. Cao, don't believe what he says."
"This man has despised our Martial Alliance for a long time. He once uttered wild words that he would crush the Martial Alliance and kill all the powerful ancient martial arts masters! Even the ten major families did not take him seriously."
"If you recruit him, you will simply lead the wolf into the house!"
"It will bring big trouble to your Cao family!"
"You have to think carefully before making a decision!"
What Lu Fan originally said to Shen Kuo was that he would come to Jiangnan sooner or later to settle the matter with Shen Kuo.
He didn't say anything about crushing the martial alliance or killing the powerful ancient martial artists.
This was just a lie fabricated temporarily by Shen Kuo in order to provoke the two of them.
"What the hell are you talking about? I, Brother Lu, have such a good relationship with Coach Lei, how could I possibly say such nonsense as destroying the Martial Alliance?"
"Stop confusing the public with your lies here. Be careful to anger my brother Lu. He will destroy your Shen family and you won't have anywhere to cry."
Ma Zicong sarcastically tried to save Lu Fan's face.
"I said, no matter who you offend or what trouble you get into, as long as you have the protection of my Cao family, no one can hurt you."
Mr. Cao turned a deaf ear to Shen Kuo's words. He looked at Lu Fan quietly: "It's a pity that you are so stubborn."
He reached out with his big hand and grabbed Lu Fan's shoulder.
Lu Fan frowned, he didn't expect that the Cao family would be so shameless, blatantly tearing up the rules of the arena in front of so many Guwu families, and even attack him directly.
The wind in Mr. Cao's palm was fierce, and his seemingly slow movements were already causing the air to tremble, as if he was going to tear apart the airflow in front of him and crush Lu Fan's shoulders!
Lu Fan knew that he was no match for him.
He was only able to take Mr. Cao's fatal blow, and it was only through a sneak attack with the power of Shen Nong.
Now the two are facing each other face to face.
The absolute disparity in strength left him with no room to resist. He could only stand there and become a lamb to be slaughtered.
However, Lu Fan's expression remained extremely calm.
He faced Mr. Cao's devastating palm wind and said calmly: "Coach Lei, I have been watching the show all night. If you don't come out at this time, I'm afraid the show will come to an end and you won't have the chance to appear."
