The sound of firecrackers sounded in the yard, which was very festive.
Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of footsteps.
Along with the sound of voices, people could be seen outside the window. Guests resting in various boxes and gardens all walked towards the courtyard.
After a moment, a high-pitched voice sounded in the courtyard:
"Tonight's birthday boy, Ma Tianhong, the second head of the Ma family, is invited to appear!"
The sound of firecrackers and fireworks instantly covered the world outside the window.
"Has it started?" Lu Fan walked to the door and looked out curiously.
"So, we have to leave now, otherwise it will be too late!" Ma Zicong said anxiously.
Lu Fan turned back and looked at him curiously: "How did you know that I am your cousin? Who told you?"
Last night, Ma Zicong called himself a loser. Why did the title suddenly change after one night?
But Ma Zicong said with a speechless expression: "How long has it been since then, and you still have the time to care about this? You don't care. If you don't leave, I will wait for the Ma family to be free later and leave you here until Meng Tianzun arrives in Jinling.
If I hold you accountable again with my own hands, you won't be able to run away even if you want."
When he came back from the Heat Bar last night, he always felt that the name Lu Fan seemed familiar. It wasn't until more than an hour ago, when he was outside Ma Tianhong's residence and heard them plotting to kill Lu Fan with a borrowed knife, that he realized that,
The guy he treated as a loser last night and targeted everywhere turned out to be Ma Yingfeng's own son and a cousin he had never met!
In fact, in a big family, things like blood relations are inherently unreliable. A big family is spread out, and a family has countless clan members and disciples. No one can control anyone. They are all self-interested, and usually no one pays attention to anyone.
They look polite on the surface, but behind the scenes they fight even more fiercely than their enemies. There is no such thing as family affection at all.
But for some reason, Ma Zicong has been thinking about it since last night, when Lu Fan was fighting for drinks, playing dice, arm-wrestling, and finally fighting those gringos alone without changing his expression.
After learning that such a person turned out to be his cousin, and that he had interrupted Ouyang Ming, the chief disciple of the ghost doctor sect who had always been against the Ma family, he was even more impressed!
This is what a man should do, drive out foreigners and kill enemies at home. There is also a background of blood feud. A man is nothing more than this. Lu Fan simply lived the way he wanted to live.
So when he learned that the Ma family was planning to frame Lu Fan, he immediately ran over to inform him and wanted to take Lu Fan away.
"I do not go."
Lu Fan shook his head, his eyes suddenly looking deep.
"Why?" Ma Zicong asked puzzled.
"Do you know why I came to Jinling?" Lu Fan asked.
Ma Zicong was stunned: "Why?"
"Take my wife home."
Lu Fan patted Ma Zicong on the shoulder: "Maybe you can tell me where she is being held."
Seeing that Ma Zicong was full of doubts, Lu Fan told him about Tang Huanxi's characteristics and the fact that he might have come to Ma's house with Ma Yingfeng.
Ma Zicong thought for a long time, but then shook his head: "I've never heard of it. I didn't even know that my second aunt was back. She has left Ma's family for decades and hasn't returned. Normally, she should be older when she finally returns to her parents' home.
Let’s make a big deal and hold a welcome ceremony for the second aunt..."
"Perhaps these fireworks and firecrackers are not just for Ma Tianhong?"
Lu Fan had deep eyes, took Ma Zicong's arm and said, "Let's go over and have a look."
Amidst the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, and under the dim lights in the courtyard, today's birthday boy, Ma Tianhong, the second head of the Ma family, made a grand entrance.
At this time, Lu Fan happened to be following Ma Zicong and appeared in the corner of the courtyard.
When Lu Fan took a look, he saw that Ma Tianhong didn't look like an old man who was almost ninety years old at all. His beard and hair were all white, but his eyes were bright and clear. Especially on his face, there were no wrinkles or age spots.
.
It has a bit of a fairy-like flavor.
In Lu Fan's view, Ma Tianhong's strength is at the peak of the half-step master realm, and he is only one layer of window paper away from the grand master. As long as this layer of window paper is pierced, once he steps into the grand master realm,
With his mental state, it wouldn't be a problem to live for another few decades.
Moreover, after Ma Tianhong walked out, the woman in gorgeous clothes appeared behind him, which made Lu Fan frown slightly.
Ma Yingfeng!
She returned to Jinling for many days, and sure enough she chose today, Ma Tianhong's birthday, to make her grand appearance!
