Chapter 64: The Jiang Family is Finished

Master Qin had been in exceptionally high spirits lately, his illness healing at a visible rate.

His own mother had regained her youth right before everyone's eyes, a miracle that left both his wife and daughter green with envy.

All of this was due to the transformation brought about by Lu Fan. He was racking his brain, trying everything in his power to make Lu Fan a member of the Qin family.

At that very moment, upon hearing Lin Ziyu's words that something had happened to Lu Fan, he slammed his hand down abruptly, shattering the table.

"What happened to the Master?"

Infused with martial energy, the century-old tea table made of solid wood was split cleanly in two, startling his mother and wife, who were busy arranging flowers, and causing them to turn their gazes toward him in shock.

Lin Ziyu briefly recounted the situation, and Master Qin was instantly filled with towering rage, his eyes frosted with an icy chill that seemed capable of freezing a thousand miles.

"The Jiang family! How audacious! They actually dare to lay a hand on my Qin family's benefactor!"

Hanging up the phone, Old Madam Qin hurriedly stepped forward. "Third, what is it? Did young Master Lu run into trouble?"

"Mother, those scumbags from the Jiang family are trying to move against Lu Fan. They're truly tired of living."

Master Qin's eyes were bloodred. "Where is Shadow Hawk?"

A dark figure materialized from an unknown corner, dropping respectfully to one knee. "Shadow Hawk is here."

"Gather all martial artists of the Qin family within a hundred-mile radius and surround the Jiang estate!"

"Understood!" Shadow Hawk vanished instantly like a wisp of smoke.

While the main branch of the Qin family was in the imperial capital, they maintained martial forces in various regions. Within a hundred miles, there were easily over a thousand practitioners!

The Jiang family was still completely oblivious to the gravity of what they had done, basking in their own self-satisfaction.

They dreamed of using Lu Fan's miraculous blood to elevate themselves above ordinary mortals.

Once the secret of Lu Fan's blood was exposed, he would become the prized flesh of the legendary Tang Monk that everyone wanted a taste of, and even a mere family like the Jiangs could not resist the temptation.

Though his blood had already been drawn once that morning, greed resided in everyone's heart.

The first to arrive was Jiang's mother, whose motivation was purely to regain her youth and beauty.

"Lu Fan, don't blame me. Who told you to refuse to give me, your mother-in-law, a Longevity Pill? I have no choice but to use your blood to restore myself."

To obtain fresher blood, she even used a knife to slash open Lu Fan's arm directly, leaning in to drink straight from the wound.

From start to finish, Lu Fan did not struggle. He merely looked at her with the gaze one might reserve for a corpse.

A servant nearby reminded her, " Madam, that's enough. He has already had a lot of blood drawn today, and his body cannot replenish it this quickly. If you ruin the Old Master's grand plan, he won't spare you!"

Hearing the mention of the Old Master, Jiang's mother finally stopped. "Hurry up and staunch the bleeding."

"Yes."

Jiang's mother slowly licked the remaining blood from her lips with the tip of her tongue, looking for all the world like a demonic spirit from the Black Mountain, feeding exclusively on human essence.

She lingeringly stroked Lu Fan's face. "Looked at closely, you're not bad-looking either. It's a pity my daughter didn't know how to cherish you. I heard that your essence can nourish women."

The expression on Lu Fan's face, which had remained unwavering the entire time, flashed a hint of disgust. "Mrs. Jiang, you are truly sickening."

"Sickening? The things you men do are no cleaner than what women do. In this world, the heavens destroy those who fail to look out for themselves."

The gaze she directed at Lu Fan was reminiscent of a spider spirit in a cave of silk, willing to do anything to reclaim her youth.

The butler reminded her, "Madam, the Old Master will be here soon. You should leave."

"Very well, I'll come back tonight." Jiang's mother let her gaze sweep wantonly over Lu Fan's body once more.

This was precisely why Lu Fan had always kept his physical secrets hidden; once leaked, he would become the target of contention for everyone.

The butler, who was busy bandaging the wound, watched Jiang's mother depart, his docile expression instantly shifting.

"Son-in-law, don't blame me either. I've worked myself to the bone for the Jiang family all these years. Since your blood is so useful, surely it's fine for me to drink a couple of mouthfuls to nourish myself, right?"

The greed of human nature was on full display at that moment.

Before the butler could take a sip, Jiang Nanping's furious roar echoed from the doorway: "Scumbag, what are you doing?"

Terrified, the butler hurriedly released his grip and dropped to his knees, begging for mercy. "Mr. Jiang, it, it was Madam who drank Lu Fan's blood first. I was just trying to stop the bleeding for him."

Traces of blood still lingered at the corners of his mouth as he spoke, making the excuse look utterly absurd.

Jiang Nanping kicked him away with a single sweep of his leg.

"You're just a servant, and you think you're worthy of drinking his blood? Tired of living, are you? Get out of my sight!"

The butler licked the last trace of blood from his lips and hurriedly scrambled to the side.

Having lost too much blood, Lu Fan supported himself with difficulty and sat up. The bleeding from the wound on his arm gradually slowed down, then automatically stopped at an astonishing speed.

Witnessing this, Jiang Nanping wore an expression of utter astonishment. "Lu Fan, what on earth are you?!"

It was simply too absurd!

"Are you truly an immortal body? Whose wound could possibly heal this fast?"

Lu Fan leaned against the wall, head bowed, one leg bent while his other hand rested on his knee.

"Jiang Nanping, don't waste your breath. I won't say a word."

"Lu Fan, as long as you tell me the truth, I will still acknowledge you as my good son-in-law."

"You actually think I care about being your Jiang family's son-in-law?" Lu Fan curled his lips in a cold sneer.

In the brief span of their conversation, the bleeding had completely ceased.

The butler stood dumbfounded. "A freak! He's simply a monster, just like Miss Yun!"

At the mention of that name, Jiang Nanping glared fiercely at him. "Shut your mouth."

Lu Fan was familiar with everyone in the Jiang family, yet he had never heard of any "Miss Yun."

A thought suddenly bloomed in his mind.

The person who had saved him all those years ago was a young girl who looked just like Jiang Ruxue, and she truly was a Jiang family daughter.

Yet when he later married Jiang Ruxue, she seemed to have no memory of it.

And the painting he had seen in the greenhouse last time—he had never once seen Jiang Ruxue paint in all these years.

What if Jiang Ruxue had a twin sister?

The one who saved him back then was her younger sister. Because the two looked identical and both belonged to the Jiang family, he had mistakenly identified the wrong person at first glance.

That was why only half of the spiritual veins within his body had awakened, while the other half required that very Miss Yun to fully arouse!

"I understand! I finally understand!"

For five years, why had his spiritual veins remained completely dormant?

Seeing the manic expression on Lu Fan's face, Jiang Nanping felt a twinge of unease. "What have you figured out?"

"You have another daughter, named Jiang Ruyun, don't you? Where is she now?"

A flicker of unnatural emotion crossed Jiang Nanping's face. "Nonsense! I only have one daughter, Ruxue. Where would I get another?"

"You're lying!" Lu Fan stated with absolute certainty.

"Enough, I didn't come here to trade words with you. Hand me the knife. Since the Old Man intends to use your blood for a blood transfusion later, I might as well drink a few more mouthfuls right now."

The butler handed over the knife. Just as Jiang Nanping raised it to slash open Lu Fan's arm once more, a deafening explosion shattered the air.

"BOOM!"

With a force akin to the collapse of heaven and earth, even the ground itself seemed to tremble.

Lu Fan knew his Senior Sister had arrived!

He looked calmly at Jiang Nanping, a bizarre smile slowly spreading across his face. "Jiang Nanping, the Jiang family... is finished."
