Guest arrival

  Old Mark stood on the ruins, with a worried face, but he had previously received Du Fan's strict order that no matter what happened, he could not take a step into the underground room inside the ruins. So although he saw this scene and was worried to the extreme, he still didn't make any moves.

  It wasn't until a thin figure appeared at the entrance of the tunnel that Old Mark wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice, "Third Young Master!"

  Du Fan smiled slightly and said: "Grandpa Mark, what's wrong? Why are you here?"

  Old Mark let out a sigh of relief and said, "Now that I've seen that Third Master is alright, I can finally relax. But Third Master, what exactly happened? How did the house end up like this?"

  Du Fan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing much, this life-and-death duel, we might not even have our lives left, what's a house compared to that? We can just rebuild it. By the way, if there's nothing else, I'll head down first. As for here, Grandpa Mark, can you find someone to deal with it tomorrow?"

  "Third Master, do you have something to attend to?" Old Mark hesitated for a moment before continuing, "However, it just so happens that someone has come looking for you. The other party said that if you're free, please meet with her."

  "Her?" In Roland continent, the pronunciation of "he" and "she" were different, so Dufan couldn't help but furrow his brow, "A woman?"

  "Yes, woman," Old Mark nodded, "That woman called herself Kris. She said she had a meeting with Third Young Master today."

  "A chance encounter?" Du Fan shook his head, having no impression of the name whatsoever. He still said in a low voice, "Forget it, I'll go take a look at that Kris now. Is there anything else?"

  "No, Third Master, apart from her, there's another person who came to see you. I've arranged for them to wait in different places. Which one do you plan to see first, Young Master Du Fan?"

  "Oh, and who is the other person?" Du Fan asked.

  Old Mark hesitated for a moment and said: "This, he didn't say his name, but I only know that he is from the Sacred See, so I don't dare to drive him away."

  "Holy See?" Dufan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Hmph, today Anthony that old guy obviously stood with Roland Academy, but these guys have keen sense of smell, anyway, whoever it is let him wait first, I'll go see that Chris first."

  Old Mark smiled fawningly and didn't dare say anything more, but led the way in front.

  In less than a moment, the two of them arrived at a garden in the Duke's mansion. This was a place that Du Fan often came to and he knew that there was a small pavilion in the center of the garden, which was actually a suitable place for a secret meeting.

  But this month on the willow branch, people meet after sunset.

  At this time and a woman meeting in such a place, no matter how you think about it, is quite extraordinary.

  Du Fan despised Old Mark in his heart, why did he make such arrangements? It made him seem like a certain someone. However, considering that Old Mark had been following him for so many years and was indeed laborious and meritorious, Du Fan magnanimously didn't express this emotion and instead said calmly: "I'll go myself, Grandfather Mark, you first take care of the guest from the Sacred Theocracy, I'll come over after I'm done."

  Old Mark looked at his own Third Young Master with a ambiguous gaze, and said in a low voice "Yes", then quickly retreated.

  In the garden, colors are diverse and various flowers' fragrance blend together, forming a strange flavor.

  Du Fan didn't rush over, he strolled around the garden for a while before slowly walking towards the small pavilion in the center of the garden.

  From afar, Du Fan could see that several crystal lamps were lit around the pavilion, and a graceful figure stood in the middle of it. The expression on his face was indescribably calm and serene.

  At a glance, Du Fan recognized the woman who called herself Kriss as the female student of Roland Academy he had teased on the square in front of the church today.

  Du Fan still had some good feelings towards her, although he knew she didn't come with good intentions this time. However, Du Fan didn't lose his courtesy and instead quickly walked to her front, took her hand and lightly kissed it for a moment before saying: "So it's Miss Kelsey, sorry to keep you waiting, it's our Green family being impolite."

  "What's impolite?" Chris smiled faintly, her expression calm to the extreme. She pulled over a chair and sat down, gesturing for Du Fan to sit as well before continuing, "If we're talking about being impolite, it's Roland Academy that's being impolite. But Professor Bruce is just that kind of person, he's extremely protective of Old Das, so that's why..."

  "Heh," Du Fan smiled faintly, his face calm. "To be honest, I'm not even angry about this matter. After what happened with Emily, anyone related to the Bellinger family would probably want to kill me, right? And Professor Bruce is still Aldous's teacher, so it's hard to avoid taking sides. Understanding this, I won't get angry easily. Still, Miss Chris, when you have time, please advise your teacher. While protecting his students isn't wrong, not distinguishing between right and wrong doesn't do much good for his reputation either?"

  Kris sighed inwardly, thinking to herself: "Du Fan, Du Fan, do you really think we're always narrow-minded? If it weren't for the sake of pleasing the Bellinger family, then what's going to happen next wouldn't be possible. Otherwise, do you think he'd dare offend the Green family?"

  However, these words were only thought in her heart by Chris. The smile on her face remained elegant and calm as she said: "I will naturally discuss this with the teacher, after all, no matter what, you are now a student of Roland Academy's Douqi Branch, and in the future, you and the teacher will be seeing each other often, so it's not good for either party to have a tense relationship."

  Du Fan thought to himself, who would have thought that he'd run into this old fox again? This time, I'll make sure he can't return to Roland Academy, and then we won't have to see each other again.

  Having made up his mind, Du Fan smiled faintly and said: "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Khris with that. Was Miss Khris coming tonight just for this matter? If there's nothing else, I'd like to leave first, as there are still guests waiting for me in the hall."

  It seems that Chris couldn't think of why Dufan suddenly gave the order to expel the guests, but her goal had not been achieved yet, so she naturally couldn't leave like this. She could only smile and say: "Since Mr. Dufan is so busy, I won't make small talk either. This time I came, apart from saying those things above, also wanted to ask about my useless classmate, what was the result of his duel with Mr. Dufan?"

  Du Fan hummed and said, "So you're asking about that Elvis, huh? Look, I'm sitting here just fine, nothing's wrong with me. So what do you think will happen to him? It's obvious if you just think about it."

  Chris's face changed, and she said: "Is it Mr. Du Fan?"

  Du Fan looked at her worried expression and couldn't help but laugh inwardly. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, don't worry about it. Your Elvis is so formidable, could I really have won against him? He fought with me for half a day, destroyed my house, forced me to admit defeat, and then ran away. As for where he went, I have no idea."

  At this point, Du Fan's face was filled with anger, as if Elvis had really defeated him.

  Kris let out a sigh, before she saw Elvis enter the Duke's mansion alone, she was worried that he would not come out again. Now hearing Du Fan say this, looking at Du Fan's third-level Dou Qi, thinking about Elvis' skills, even Kris felt that no matter what situation appeared, facing Elvis, Du Fan absolutely had no chance of winning.

  Having understood this point, combined with the annoyed expression on Du Fan's face, Chris realized that even if she asked further, Du Fan wouldn't say anything else. She smiled slightly and said: "Since I already know where my useless classmate is, I won't bother you anymore. Another day, I'll let him come and apologize to me."

  Du Fan nodded silently and didn't say anything.

  Kris smiled faintly at him and waved her hand lightly, then her figure flashed out of the garden like a ghost.

  When her figure completely disappeared, Du Fan let out a breath and pulled Chenchen out of his sleeve to throw it on the table, asking: "How? Do you have any feelings?"

  Chen Chen, the lovely one, stood up and stretched out her cat claws, saying: "If I'm not mistaken, this woman is the one who's been hanging around Elvis all along. Her strength might even surpass Elvis'."

  "Is that so?" Du Fan glanced at Chenchen and muttered, "Women these days are really formidable."

  "What did you say?" Chenchen's cat-like eyes widened in a glare.

  "Nothing," Du Fan smiled, "I was just thinking that if these people found out later that Elvis actually died at my hands, the expressions on their faces would be priceless."

  "Elvis died in my hands!" Chen Chen grumbled, "But you're my master, so it doesn't really make a difference. But why didn't you tell Chris the truth? I bet that after you told her you lost to Elvis, she must have looked down on you in her heart."

  "What's wrong with being despised? Being despised by her a few times won't make me lose any flesh, and why should I do this, of course, I have my own intentions."

  "What's going on?" Chenchen tilted her head in confusion.
