After breaking the leg of the man stepping on Fatty, Lufan maintained a calm expression and ignored him, instead turning his gaze to the young boy.
The boy was already somewhat panicked, and when he saw Lufan looking over, his face turned even paler. He had just witnessed this person not only defeat all the skilled guards from the City Lord's Mansion in an instant but also break one of their legs without batting an eye, showing extreme ruthlessness.
It should be noted that these guards were all at least Second Rank Martial Cultivators, yet they couldn't withstand a single blow from this person. Thinking about his own First Rank strength made the boy tremble with fear, worried that he might also end up lying on the ground.
However, recalling his own status gave him a bit of confidence. He swallowed hard and mustered the courage to ask, "Who are you? How dare you meddle in our affairs? Do you know who you have offended?"
Feeling that this wasn't imposing enough, he added, "To be honest, we are from the City Lord's Mansion. Offending us means that in Qingyang City, there is no one who can save you!"
Lufan had been eating while watching him and nearly spat out his food upon hearing this.
Because those words sounded so familiar.
Back when he first read novels, protagonists or side characters often threatened others like this. He never expected to hear it again after so many years; that faint sense of familiarity made Lufan sigh inwardly—this guy was truly something.
Indeed, there were many talented individuals in this other world.
Seeing Lufan like this, the boy thought he was scared and became even more smug as he said, "So, now you know fear, huh? But it’s okay. As long as you make Fatty hand over the items and come to the City Lord's Mansion to kneel and apologize, we might spare your life!"
These words were even more familiar to Lufan, and he couldn't help but admire the boy's talent. To express his gratitude for rekindling memories from years ago, he decided to go easy on him.
Bang!
The boy's smug smile froze on his face as Lufan kicked him, sending him tumbling to the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face.
"Get lost! Go back and tell that so-called Second Young Master that Fatty's stuff is not for sale, and he shouldn't even think about it!" Lufan said calmly.
After being kicked down, the little brat no longer dared to speak. Since they weren't afraid of the City Lord's Mansion, he felt that if he said anything more, he would end up in trouble. So, he signaled his subordinates to help him get up, carrying the injured man with a broken leg, and they left in a dejected manner.
"Xiao Fan..." Fatty wanted to say something from behind him.
Lufan interrupted, "Let's not talk about that for now. Let's eat first; I have something to discuss with you later anyway."
The two sat back at the table, ready to eat, but just then another voice rang out from outside.
"Fatty, we just heard that Li Ran's lackey came looking for trouble again. Are you okay?"
Lufan felt furious inside; all he wanted was to enjoy a peaceful meal, yet people kept showing up!
Just as he was about to explode, he suddenly recognized the voice. It sounded so much like Duanmu Xue, that violent girl.
At that moment, several people walked in through the door, including Duanmu Xue in a fiery red outfit and the Mi Family Sisters. As Duanmu Xue entered, she said:
"If they bullied you earlier, just let me know. I'll take care of it for you. After all, Lufan told me to look after you..."
Before Duanmu Xue could finish her sentence, she stood there dumbfounded, her mouth agape in shock because she saw a familiar person looking at her with an inexplicable smile.
Behind her, Zhao Xingjian and the others also looked as if they had seen a ghost, staring at someone they thought was already dead now standing right in front of them.
Lufan smiled at them and said, "Hey, you've all come together! Why don't you sit down and have a meal with us?"
In fact, he was internally complaining that these guys were so punctual, arriving right at mealtime. How could they possibly eat with just this little bit of food?
However, despite his reluctance, he still had to maintain politeness and be courteous.
Duanmu Xue, on the other hand, seemed to not hear him at all; she just stared blankly at him, her eyes suddenly turning red.
Since they had recovered over two months ago, the five of them had gone into the mountains several times to search for Lufan, but ultimately returned empty-handed. It was as if Lufan had completely vanished into the vast mountains.
Later, they also tried to find the bandits' hideout, only to discover that it was already deserted, with nothing left but countless ruins.
This sparked a glimmer of hope in them, thinking that perhaps Lufan had taken care of the bandits all by himself. Although they didn't know how he did it, after witnessing Lufan's abilities, none of the five doubted that he had that capability.
But when they returned to the city, they received news from their family stating that it was a highly skilled mysterious swordsman who had done it. Li Hao had been killed, and even martial arts masters couldn't leave behind any trace of that mysterious swordsman.
This shattered their hopes once again because they all knew that Lufan didn't know any sword techniques and that no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't possibly be a match for a martial arts master.
As time passed day by day, Lufan remained silent and out of reach. Although they were reluctant to admit it, they eventually confirmed that he must have perished in the vast mountains.
This left the five of them feeling very guilty. If only they had stopped Lufan back then, perhaps such a tragedy wouldn't have occurred.
Especially Duanmu Xue; she always believed that if she hadn't invited Lufan to gather herbs, he wouldn't have ended up dead. Thus, she lived in sorrow every day.
Out of guilt and in an attempt to make amends for her feelings of remorse, the five began to take extra care of the Fat Siblings since they all knew that these two were the ones Lufan valued the most.
As a result, in light of a series of recent events, if it weren't for their protection, Fatty would have likely encountered serious trouble long ago.
Just now, they heard someone say that the people from the lord's mansion were causing trouble for Fatty again, so they rushed over. To their surprise, as soon as they entered, they saw that bastard who had disappeared for several months, grinning at them!
Seeing Duanmu Xue with red eyes, Lufan was a bit surprised. This violent girl was actually crying? Something was off; could it be that she was getting teary-eyed over some delicious food?
It was possible. Lufan felt a chill in his heart; the newcomers did not come with good intentions. He always held the greatest hostility towards those who showed up during meal times. There was no way around it; he had always struggled to get enough to eat, so he particularly disliked visitors during mealtime!
So he quickly added, "But if you’ve already eaten, then I won’t insist."
That bastard!
Duanmu Xue was furious. She had been worried about him all this time, and now that he returned without a word, his first concern was whether everyone would snatch his food!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Xue smiled sweetly and said to the others behind her, "Since he is being so polite, we shouldn't stand on ceremony. Let's reluctantly have a little something."
Zhao Xingjian and the others also laughed. Over this time, they had learned quite a bit about Lufan from Fat Siblings and were more familiar with his personality. Among them, one particularly strange behavior of his left a deep impression.
He was extremely protective of his food! Anyone trying to get even a little food from him would find it nearly impossible, and what he hated most was when someone visited while he was eating!
In Xiao Ling's words, trying to snatch food from Brother Xiaofan’s mouth was harder than pulling teeth from a ninth-level beast.
Now it seemed they had violated someone's taboo.
However, to punish someone who clearly had no reason to disappear for several months and didn’t even send a message—causing them to worry for so long—how could they refuse such goodwill?
So everyone consciously gathered around the table and smiled as they looked at Lufan.
Fatty was initially very happy to see a few people coming over. Over the past few days, he had become quite familiar with Duanmu Xue and the others, knowing that they were all friends of Xiaofan. Seeing them all sit down, he hurried to get more bowls and chopsticks.
This was not good, not good at all!
Things were not going according to plan. Lufan felt anxious; given the situation, it seemed inevitable that a bloody battle would soon ensue.
He quickly decided to take the initiative and, before Fatty could bring out the bowls and chopsticks, he started eating first!
What the heck!
Seeing Lufan eat so rudely ahead of everyone else, the five couldn't help but curse him in their hearts. How had they never noticed how shameless this guy was before?
Lufan ate at an astonishing speed. By the time Fatty brought out the bowls and chopsticks, he had already devoured a third of the dishes on the table.
Once they got their bowls and chopsticks, the others were not willing to be outdone. They immediately scooped entire plates of food into their own bowls and began to eat vigorously while glaring at Lufan.
Not just Duanmu Xue, even the adorable Mi Family Sisters were completely unconcerned about their image, chewing loudly just to make that guy across from them feel the pain of losing food.
Lufan was not just feeling pain; he was practically heartbroken. Although he ate quickly, one mouth could never compete with five. Watching dish after dish disappear before his eyes, he felt like crying but could only speed up his eating.
In no time, the dining table was filled with tension as if everyone was ready for a fight after finishing their meal.
Fatty stood by in shock, watching this scene unfold. He shook his head; it seemed this meal would not include him. Turning around, he walked into the kitchen where there was still half a deer leg left. He had intended to save it for the next meal, but given this situation, it probably wouldn’t be enough for this group anyway.
