"What do you mean?"

Xia Yanyu didn't quite understand Xu Fan's statement, so she asked curiously.

Xu Fan smiled, casually explaining, "In a nutshell, everyone in this village has a net worth over a billion."

Growing up in Banan Village, even though he commonly played tricks with the village old-timers, stealing chickens or sneaking around, chased around with everyone on his tail, Xu Fan had grown to realize that the villagers held a considerable respect for the old-timers, who usually acted crazy.

When he grew up and was sent out of Banan Village by the old-timers for training, he discovered that those villagers who grew up with him had already made a name for themselves outside using their fists and kicks.

In the village, for those older in generation than himself, each person's head was worth at least a billion.

Deceiving, robbing, burning, and plundering—almost everyone in the village was a top figure in these professions. Seeing those wanted posters, Xu Fan felt overwhelmed; it turned out his childhood was spent among villains...

"Alright, follow me for now."

Xu Fan didn't want to explain too much about Banan Village at the moment, so he briefly spoke and continued leading the two sisters on their way.

He and the old-timer's residence were not in the village but by the Phoenix River, next to Banan Village.

Leading the two sisters there now, Xu Fan began knocking on the door.

Soon, the gate to the courtyard opened, revealing an elderly man with an honest face who opened the door.

Clearly not expecting Xu Fan to be the one knocking, the old man stood frozen at the doorway for a good while before coming back to his senses.

"Young Master, how come you're back?"

"Who... who are these two?"

"Grandpa Meng, I came back to find the old-timer for some matters. Is he home now?"

The elderly man who answered the door was Meng Hanqiu, the old-timer's sole servant, who could almost be considered a motherly figure, having watched him grow up from childhood.

Xu Fan's gambling skills, more than half of them, came from his teaching.

"This is Grandpa Meng."

Xu Fan introduced Meng Hanqiu to the Xia sisters, pointing at him.

"Hello, Grandpa Meng."

Although not fully aware of the elder's identity, the Xia sisters could roughly tell he was an elder of Xu Fan, and they greeted him respectfully right away.

"The young ladies are too polite. I'm just a servant. Young Master, please, come in; the master might return a bit later."

"Alright, let's go in first."

Seeing Meng Hanqiu's expression, Xu Fan could tell that the old-timer was probably up to some underhanded activities in the village at the moment. He shrugged and led the two inside the courtyard.

"Ladies, there's not much to offer in this humble village; please forgive us."

Having led the three inside, Meng Hanqiu served them tea before excusing himself.

This place was mostly where Xu Fan had grown up. The two sisters now looked around curiously.

The house wasn't luxurious, yet the walls were adorned with a number of calligraphies and paintings, breathed with an air of Immortal energy, and could be considered the work of a master, likely done by Xu Fan's mentor.

It was indeed the work of that same Immortal who had named the Xia sisters. Xia Yanyu carefully examined the calligraphy and paintings around the room, growing even more curious about the type of Immortal Xu Fan often mentioned as the old-timer.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, a cry of agony came from the courtyard, as if someone had just jumped in from outside.

Instinctively, the Xia sisters looked outside, only to see a disheveled old man sitting on the ground.

"You old coot! At your age! You still dare to peek at me bathing! If you've got the guts, come out! Today I'm definitely chopping off your third leg!"

Immediately following, a woman's voice, fiercely bold, could be heard from outside the house.

Clearly, this stinky old man had been peeping at a woman bathing outside and had been chased all the way here. The Xia sisters glanced unintentionally at Xu Fan, wondering if this could possibly be the 'old immortal' he had mentioned...

"..."

Embarrassing as it may be, the fact was that the one who had leaped over the wall was indeed their own 'old immortal'...

"Oh dear, what a misunderstanding, old man here, you see, I've been wanting to paint a picture of a lady recently, and I just couldn't find any inspiration until I went to your place, Miss Shen, to look for some..."

"How can you say I was peeping at you bathing? I was just trying to create art. But Miss Shen, you scared away all my inspiration just now. What if I come by again in a few days, how about that?"

Shameless beyond measure, peeping at someone bathing and still having the audacity to suggest a revisit...

The once mythically-admired figure in the hearts of the Xia sisters instantly plummeted to less than zero.

Looking unconsciously at Xu Fan, they began to understand where his thick skin came from.

"Bah! You shameless old man, one day I'll castrate you!"

The verbal battle continued for more than ten minutes before it ended.

Only then, hearing that the woman outside had left, did the old man squint at the crack of the door, confirming she was far enough away, then grinned and walked into the room.

"You little rascal, you're back?"

Seeing the three people sitting inside, the old man was initially startled but then his gaze fell on Xu Fan.

"Hey, if I'd known earlier, I should have brought you with me to watch out for me. Then how could I have been spotted?"

"..."

Xu Fan rolled his eyes at the ludicrous comment, showing a face disinclined to engage.

"Hehe, such a cute eye roll."

Forcing a segue, the old man's gaze shifted to the two sisters Xu Fan had brought along.

"And who might these two be?"

"Senior, hello, I'm Xia Yanyu, and this is my sister, Xia Xiaodie."

Although not quite impressed with Xu Fan's master at first sight, Xia Yanyu still stiffly, yet politely introduced herself and her sister.

"Oh? Look at you, kid, you're quite something."

Hearing the Xia sisters reveal their identities, the old man raised an eyebrow, a lecherous smile forming as he turned back to Xu Fan.

"Back then, I and the old man from the Xia family meant this, both granddaughters to be my disciple's wives, how about that?"

"Look, hasn't this little rascal snagged them both already!"

Laughing, the old man then instructed Meng Hanqiu who was nearby: "Hanqiu, later you go tell the people in the village, today my disciple is getting married, taking two wives."

"Everyone in the village must bring gifts, double the amount too! Anyone who doesn't, I will have a bone to pick with them!"

Facing this absurd demand, Meng Hanqiu very respectfully agreed.

Xia Yanyu felt a wave of awkwardness. Rather than believing this madcap old man was Xu Fan's master, she'd rather believe Meng Hanqiu was the high master.

This is simply madness...
