After three days of waiting, it finally confirmed Qiu Hongyao's speculation.

Feng Huang had likely already left Shanghai.

As to where she went, no one knew, not even when he asked Azure Dragon and others, did he obtain the slightest clue.

As such, Xu Fan could only sign the contract with Professor Sun by himself.

For this reason, he contacted Jinling to have Sister Lan send Su Shouzi to Shanghai, specifically to take charge of this matter.

Su Shouzi had quite a few talented people under him, letting him handle this matter also saved Xu Fan quite a bit of worry.

After several days of rest, his physical condition had improved significantly.

Basically, there wasn't much distance left until he was completely healed.

The four pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade he got from Li Xiaochen had not been used yet due to the recuperation.

The spiritual energy contained within the Jiuyang Warm Jade is a great supplement for martial artists' cultivation!

The reason he had been able to step into the Innate Realm was due to the assistance of this Jiuyang Warm Jade.

Now with as many as four pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade, if he were to completely absorb the spiritual energy within, Xu Fan estimated that even if he couldn't reach Innate Penetration, he could still half-step into that realm.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Fan then began to refine the spiritual energy within the Jiuyang Warm Jade.

Haste makes waste, Xu Fan was not in a hurry, with a total of four pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade, it would probably take close to half a month to fully absorb them.

Having absorbed the spiritual energy in one piece of Jiuyang Warm Jade, Xu Fan could clearly feel that his state had directly returned to its peak condition!

Even, there was some improvement!

The Innate True Qi inside his body surged like a mighty river! At this moment, Xu Fan tightly held the remaining three pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade in his hand.

Once he had absorbed all the spiritual energy from the Jiuyang Warm Jade in his hand, he believed, his strength would surely rise to a new level!

While refining the spiritual energy from the Jiuyang Warm Jade, a lot of impurities were expelled from his body, and after washing up, he received a call from Summer Xiaodie.

XD Jewelry had just been established, and this girl, due to the agreement between them, had never been idle.

Now calling, he did not know what it was for.

"Hello? Xu Fan, can you come over here now?"

"Yes, I'll come right over."

From the sound of Summer Xiaodie's voice, she wasn't at the jewelry store at the moment, and Xu Fan didn't bother to ask more, directly agreeing to it.

After dressing up, Xu Fan then drove to Summer Xiaodie's residence.

Just arriving downstairs, without even calling Summer Xiaodie, he saw her, dressed in formal attire, walking down from upstairs.

Seeing her appearance, it seemed she was planning to go out.

Seeing her get into the car, Xu Fan smiled and asked, "You little rascal, planning to go somewhere?"

"Someone wants to meet you through me, you busy person."

At that moment, he saw Summer Xiaodie seriously looking at him as she spoke.

Xu Fan listened, and couldn't help frowning.

"Who?"

"Zhou Zidong."

Although Summer Xiaodie had been busy with the jewelry business in the past few days, she had heard about the matter with Professor Sun.

Now looking at Xu Fan, she explained, "He seems to want to make amends, so he asked me to invite you."

"Make amends?"

Hearing this word, Xu Fan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He had said before that only if the Zhou Family Clan Leader personally came to apologize to him, would he forgive the Zhou Family.

Could it be that he had taken his words for nothing?

"Where does he want to meet?"

Looking at Summer Xiaodie, Xu Fan inquired.

"At Baihe Mountain Villa in the western suburbs."

"White Crane Villa?"

Upon hearing White Crane Villa, Xu Fan couldn't help but frown, as he recalled that it was supposed to be a property owned by the Lu Family.

Compared to the Ke Family, the Lu Family in Shanghai was relatively more low-key.

However, their family business was no weaker than the Ke Family's.

This invitation to meet was probably a suggestion from Lu Jun to Zhou Zidong.

After losing to Xu Fan in the matter with Professor Sun and even getting beaten up by him, could Lu Jun really not hold a grudge and still invite him for a meeting?

This guy, he really could endure.

He was also curious about what kind of scheme Lu Jun was plotting.

Xu Fan then said, "Alright, I'm free anyway, let's go meet them."

This girl clearly understood his character, knowing he wouldn't back down, which was why she had already changed her clothes.

The experience over the past few days had added a touch of mature and capable charm to the beauty of this Qing Cui campus belle; sitting in the car and looking at her lovely face, Xu Fan couldn't resist and turned his head to plant a kiss on her cheek.

This kiss, somewhat sudden, caught Xia Xiaodie off guard, making her blush furiously as she hammered her fist on Xu Fan's chest.

"Stop it!"

"Do that again and I'll really hit you!"

Watching the girl brandishing her fist dramatically at him, Xu Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Wasn't this just a reward after seeing how tired you were?

After a bit of teasing, they drove to the White Crane Villa as arranged by Lu Jun.

White Crane Villa was located in a scenic area on the outskirts of Shanghai and was a private summer retreat for the Lu Family.

By the time the two arrived, it was already eleven in the morning.

After parking the car, Xu Fan and Xia Xiaodie walked towards the villa, and after explaining their purpose to the resort's staff, someone led them to the golf course inside the villa.

Soon, they saw Lu Jun and Zhou Zidong playing golf on the grass.

Zhou Zidong didn't seem very skilled at this sport and was merely observing by Lu Jun's side.

Lu Jun, holding a golf club, was intently aiming at the white golf ball beneath him.

After practicing a couple of swings, he swung his club and the ball flew out, landing steadily in a hole a hundred meters away.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

At this moment, Zhou Zidong beside him burst into applause, shouting "Good shot!"

A hundred meters in one shot, such proficient control indeed placed him among the top golfers.

"Xu Fan, Miss Xia, we've been waiting for you."

Having noticed Xu Fan and company's arrival earlier, Lu Jun handed his golf club to a nearby caddie and walked over with Zhou Zidong to greet Xu Fan.

"I believe you already know the reason why I invited you here this time, right?"

Lu Jun glanced at Xia Xiaodie as he spoke.

"They say, 'No fight, no acquaintance.' Maybe in the future, we could also become friends, right?"

"Indeed, Zhou Shao did have some past problems with you, but that's all in the past now."

"Xu Fan, given our ages, you should be calling me 'Brother.' Today, how about this? Give me, Lu Jun, some face, and if Zhou Shao verbally apologizes to you, we can consider the past issues resolved."

"After all, you're not actually planning to wipe out his Zhou Family, are you?"

Speaking selfishly, Lu Jun smiled and then looked over to Zhou Zidong.

It was clear, Lu Jun was pushing him to apologize, and though reluctantly, Zhou Zidong did step forward.

"I'm sorry."

Right then, Zhou Zidong muttered an indistinct apology to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan, pretending not to hear, tugged at his ear and turned his gaze towards Xia Xiaodie.

"Little Missy, today's wind is really loud, isn't it?"
