Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 252 You Have Guts

"Sha Laosan, prepare a room for him!"

Tian Wu glared fiercely at Du Fan, then picked up the old man surnamed Wu and jumped off the stage, quickly walking in one direction.

The bandits didn't seem too worried about the old man's fainting. Outsiders might not know, but they knew very well that although the old man looked like he was about to die, he was actually very strong. If it came to a fight, there were very few bandits present who could defeat him.

On the contrary, the bandits seemed to be more excited about Du Fan, and their expressions were quite interesting. Even their gazes towards Du Fan had changed. Most of their previous hostility had dissipated, replaced by strong admiration and a hint of respect.

The reason for this strange phenomenon was partly due to Du Fan's skill during his fight with Tian Wu, but more importantly... this guy dared to flirt with their leader, Tian, ​​in public! In the eyes of these bandits, this kid was incredibly bold! They had to befriend him!

"Brother Li, since Chief Tian has spoken, we brothers naturally have no objections. There's a large, empty house on the north side of the village. Let me take you there," Sha Laosan said loudly, bowing to Du Fan from below the platform.

"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Sha." Du Fan returned the greeting and immediately leaped down from the arena.

Before long, Du Fan, amidst the bandits' stern looks of "you've got guts," followed Sha Laosan away from the place. After a short while, he was taken to a bamboo house.

"Brother Li, if you need anything, just give the order, and someone will be at your disposal. I'll take my leave now." After saying this, Sha Laosan grinned and turned to leave.

"What a fine, rugged man! I never imagined he'd have such a penchant. In this so-called martial arts world, with his status, he could have had countless beauties throw themselves at him with just a word. What a pity." Du Fan sighed as he watched the man leave, looking deeply regretful.

After a while, Du Fan sat cross-legged on the bed, suddenly frowned, and muttered, "That Miss Tian Wu is a good girl. Was what I did a bit despicable...?"

"I don't know how other cultivators did it at first, but without killing anyone, this is the only way to have a valid reason."

After all, having both wealth and beauty is something almost every man dreams of, and this way he won't arouse suspicion from those with ulterior motives.

Otherwise, the position of chieftain alone would seem somewhat forced and abrupt, especially since I am someone of unknown origin.

Du Fan sighed, feeling conflicted.

"I won't be here for too long. If Miss Tian becomes my nominal wife, then she will be my best cover. While I am in seclusion, she can still give orders as usual, which is reasonable and no one will object."

This way, it won't affect the daily operations of the Green Forest Stronghold, and it also creates a good environment for my cultivation.

Although it was necessary to do so, he still felt a pang of guilt.

"Sigh, there's nothing to feel guilty about. I'm not really going to marry her. When the time comes, I'll just pack up and leave. She won't lose anything, and I won't take advantage of her in the slightest. At worst, I'll just find her a good family when I leave..."

After calming himself down, Du Fan felt a bit more relaxed and took a sip of ginseng essence oil before starting to refine it.

……

The next morning, a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old knocked on Du Fan's door, brought him toiletries and a rather sumptuous meal, and then obediently left.

Du Fan didn't stand on ceremony and ate all the four dishes and soup the girl brought him. Just as he was considering whether to continue cultivating, a bandit suddenly arrived. After exchanging a few words, the bandit took Du Fan to the council hall of the Green Forest Village.

When Du Fan arrived at the hall, he found that there were quite a few people in the room, about twenty or thirty, mostly young bandits. They stood in two rows on both sides of the hall, looking at him with great interest.

Five people sat at the head of the table, the one in the middle, dressed in red, exuding a heroic aura, was none other than Tian Wu, the leader of the Green Forest Village.

On either side of the woman sat two elderly men with white hair. One of them, thin and dark-skinned, was the old man surnamed Wu who had acted out the charade yesterday. Judging from his appearance, he was ruddy-faced and exuded a powerful aura, so his health should be fine.

Upon seeing Du Fan enter, the five people who were sitting upright immediately stood up. Apart from Tian Wu, the other four elders all gave Du Fan a kind smile and stepped forward to greet him, asking him all sorts of questions, as if they were very familiar with each other.

Upon seeing this, Tian Wu glared fiercely at Du Fan and stomped her foot angrily.

"I had to go out yesterday and was unable to witness your esteemed presence, which is truly a pity," said an elderly man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a slightly plump figure, expressing his regret.

"Young man, you are indeed a man of exceptional talent. Not only are you skilled, but you are also very handsome. You are truly a dragon among men!" An old man with a somewhat cunning face said a very insincere thing.

"Young brother, I didn't see yesterday's duel. You must tell this old man how you beat that girl Wu'er to a pulp."

Just as Du Fan was overwhelmed by the sudden sensations, his hand was grabbed by a tall, thin old man in a moon-white robe. As he spoke, the old man warmly pulled him to sit down in the middle of the head seat.

"Grandpa Shen, this is my seat..." Tian Wu held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but say weakly.

When facing the bandits of the Green Forest Village, Chief Tian could shout and even beat them at will, but in front of these respected elders, she could only transform into a docile little kitten.

"Stand aside, you have no manners!" The old man surnamed Wu opened his eyes and suddenly shouted angrily. To others, this scene made it seem as if Du Fan had become one of their own, while Boss Tian had become an outsider.

Seeing this, Tian Wu quickly smiled apologetically, then glanced at Du Fan, gritting her teeth, but dared not say anything more, not even daring to be too rude with her eyes. She could only forcefully suppress her anger and stood aside angrily, which caused the bandits below to burst into laughter.

Next, the four elders and one child began to chat happily, as if they were reunited as children and grandchildren, talking about everything.

When facing these elderly men, Du Fan was very polite, humble and reserved, and occasionally even a little humorous.

This immediately put the four elders in high spirits. The more they looked at Du Fan, the more pleasing he became to the eye, and the more satisfied they were with him. In the end, their eyes revealed undisguised affection and appreciation.

This scene, witnessed by Tian Wu who was not far away, made her grit her teeth with hatred for Du Fan.

"Young brother, we will soon hold a ceremony for you to ascend the throne as chieftain. But before that, shall we make a decision about Wu'er's marriage?" After a long while, the old man surnamed Wu felt that the time was right, and his eyes flashed as he suddenly spoke.

Du Fan immediately became somewhat shy, stealing a glance at Tian Wu as if blushing, his eyes revealing a deep admiration. Then, he coughed lightly and shamelessly said:

"Well, to be honest, I have admired Miss Tian for a long time and have been in love with her for a long time. Today, after seeing Miss Tian's unparalleled beauty, I am even more captivated. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for!"

Of course, this is just wishful thinking on my part. If Miss Tian doesn't take a liking to me, I won't force her.

Upon hearing this, Tian Wu's pretty face immediately turned red, and she quickly looked away, no longer wanting to look at this hateful guy.

"Brother Li, you're overthinking it. Marriage is a major event, and it's a matter of parents' wishes and matchmakers' words. There's no way a girl can make her own decisions. This girl's parents are no longer here, so naturally, we old folks will make the decisions for her."

"Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem with Wu'er." The old man surnamed Wu patted his chest and said confidently.

Tian Wu rolled her eyes as she listened, but as the old man said, she would eventually have to get married. However, when it came to marriage, even if she was a woman of the martial world and the leader of a stronghold, she had no choice in the matter.

Most importantly, last night, Tian Wu was secretly summoned by these old men, who explained to her the current situation of Green Forest Village, the lurking dangers, and how wonderful the young man Li Daoming was.

As a result, after being brainwashed by these old guys, Boss Tian finally turned pale, bit his lip, and nodded slightly.

"If that's the case, that's wonderful! We can finalize my marriage with Miss Tian now," Du Fan said with a delighted expression.

After receiving Du Fan's affirmative answer, the old men were very excited. They looked at each other and saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes, as if a huge stone had finally been removed from their hearts.

"Brother Li, I've calculated it, and it will be an auspicious day in half a month. Since you two have no objections, why not get things done on that day?"

Although our Green Forest Stronghold isn't a century-old gang, it's still a well-known and respected force in the martial arts world. When the time comes, we'll always notify all the gangs, big and small, within a thousand miles.

"Of course, these trivial matters are for us old folks to worry about. Brother Li, you don't need to worry about them. During this time, you just need to rest and recuperate, and eat more lamb kidneys to nourish yourself." The old man surnamed Wu laughed heartily and said loudly.
