Upon hearing the name " Master Li ".

The subordinate was taken aback.

The subordinates were surprised.

The subordinates were so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.

"You—you mean Jiang Fan is Master Li's personal disciple?! Then—so he's also—also Spirit Master!!!"

When the subordinate mentioned "Spirit Master," he nearly bit his own tongue.

After pondering for two seconds, Yan Tianyang said, "This is just my speculation, but I think it's quite possible that Master Li's disciple is Jiang Fan."

The subordinate found this very reasonable and immediately became serious.

"Then I'll send people to protect him and bring him here. No! I'll personally lead the team and secretly infiltrate Fortress No. 31. After all, he's very likely Master Li's disciple, and Ye Qizhen also said that Master Li's disciple's Psychic Power far surpasses his own. Spirit Master are rare and precious, let alone such a peerless genius who only appears once every hundred years!"

"No."

Yan Tianyang narrowed his intelligent eyes slightly, and under the bewildered gazes of his subordinates, he spoke, "First of all, we can't be sure it's him, and besides, not protecting him is the best protection."

"Not protecting is the best protection..." the subordinate muttered to himself, pondering the words carefully, and finally realized the truth.

"Achoo!" Jiang Fan sneezed again as soon as he reached his doorstep.

Tang Guo looked up at Jiang Fan with a concerned expression.

" Brother Fan, do you have a cold? You've been sneezing the whole way."

Jiang Fan sniffed. "I don't think I have a cold, my nose is just inexplicably itchy."

"Could it be rhinitis?" Tang Guo suggested.

"I don't think so."

Just as the two were talking, an uninvited guest arrived.

The person who came was none other than their landlord, Chen Wenhua.

Chen Wenhua was furious the moment he saw Jiang Fan.

"You're back from the martial arts exam? Judging from your expressions, Jiang Fan probably didn't get into a martial arts school, right?"

Tang Guo shouted angrily, "You're the one who didn't pass! My Brother Fan was the top martial arts examiner at Fortress No. 31!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenhua was taken aback at first, and then burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! The top scorer in the martial arts exam at Fortress No. 31?! Are you trying to make me laugh to death? Kid, you're already so young and already learning bad habits; you'll become a parasite on society when you grow up."

Jiang Fan coldly looked at Chen Wenhua, "I think scum like you, who eats people without spitting out the bones, are the real parasites on society!"

Chen Wenhua was enraged. " Jiang Fan, you brat, you've been rude to me time and time again. I let it slide before because you're young, but today I'm going to—"

"What do you really want to do?" Jiang Fan asked, slowly rolling up his sleeves.

Upon seeing this, Chen Wenhua took two steps back.

He already knew that Jiang Fan at the Middle-Stage Martial Apprentice, and that he was no match for Jiang Fan.

"I'm going to make sure your whole family gets out of my rental! Don't forget, today is your rent due date. Even if you had the money, I wouldn't rent to you anymore unless you're willing to pay double the rent!"

Tang Fugui was furious. " Chen Wenhua! Don't go too far! Why should we pay double the rent!"

"Because I'm the landlord, I can charge whatever amount I want!" Chen Wenhua grinned, looking down at Tang Fugui's family.

Tang Fugui wanted to say something more, but Jiang Fan stopped him.

"Dad, didn't I tell you before that I found a temporary job? I earned quite a bit of money, more than enough for us to buy a house in the upscale neighborhood. Let's buy the house and move in today."

These words greatly surprised Tang Fugui and the others.

" Xiao Fan, what—what did you say?"

Jiang Fan took out his phone and checked his balance.

Tang Fugui, Wang Shuqin, and Tang Guo, who was tiptoeing to peek at the phone, were all dumbfounded.

Chen Wenhua, standing to the side, crossed his arms and wore a sarcastic expression.

"Go ahead and pretend, you think you can? Buy a house in a rich neighborhood? I've seen plenty of braggarts, but I've never seen anyone exaggerate to the point of absurdity. You want to move to a rich neighborhood? Then move out right now!"

Hearing the barking of the dogs around him, Jiang Fan didn't even glance at Chen Wenhua.

"Mom and Dad, let's move now. Let's look for a house in the upscale neighborhood. If we can't find a suitable one today, we'll stay in a hotel for now."

"This—" Tang Fugui hesitated.

Jiang Fan knew what he was worried about, and immediately smiled and spoke up.

"Are you all thinking that it's not easy for me to earn money, and that I need to go to martial arts school in the future? Training requires resources, and without money, I can't do anything."

It has to be said that his words hit the nail on the head.

"But don't forget, I'm the top scorer in the college entrance exam at Fortress No. 31, and with my grades, I'm guaranteed to get into one of the top five elite martial arts schools. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll be number one in my class. Will I ever have to worry about making money in the future? Not to mention the future, with my grades, wouldn't Ancheng and the fortress offer me generous scholarships?"

These words silenced Tang Fugui.

Tang Guo spoke first.

"Dad, Brother Fan is right. He's so capable, he'll definitely earn even more money in the future!"

Even Wang Shuqin tried to persuade him, "Honey, I know what you're worried about, but haven't we already decided that Xiao Fan is our biological son? We're family, so why be so formal?"

After a moment of surprise, Tang Fugui smiled knowingly.

"Yes, look at me, we're family. There's no need for formalities or politeness among family members. Okay, today we'll take advantage of our son and move to the wealthy neighborhood."

Chen Wenhua assumed the family was putting on an act for him, and wasn't in a hurry to expose them. He wanted to see how long they could keep up the charade.

When they can't keep up the act anymore, they'll be begging the production team to give their family a house.

Rich neighborhood? They don't even deserve that title!

He wasn't saying that even a bathroom in a wealthy neighborhood might be unaffordable for them even if they worked their entire lives.

The Jiang Family acted quickly; in no time, they had packed their things and loaded them onto the tricycle.

In fact, they didn't have much to take with them.

Jiang Fan also specifically instructed that people should bring as little as possible, and that they could buy daily necessities when they arrived in the wealthy area.

Tang Fugui and his wife were originally thrifty people who would never throw away old things, but they thought that going to the rich area with those junk would embarrass their son, who was the top martial arts candidate in Fortress No. 31, so they simply took a few changes of clothes and some important items.

Chen Wenhua sat on a chair in the courtyard, a smile playing on his lips, watching the family with a relaxed expression.

Just as they were about to leave, a large number of people suddenly appeared outside the courtyard.

They were mostly neighbors, and they were all carrying various gifts.

Even all of Tang Fugui and Wang Shuqin's relatives from both sides were present.
