47. The Follower Who’s Being Fought Over!

After completing the examination and confirming that Master Su had no health issues.

Su Wenbin’s mood naturally became even better. Although he was curious and had no idea how Lu Fei managed all of this, he knew that it was enough for him to know that Lu Fei was the one who brought the old master back to life!

Su Wenbin walked forward, clasping his hands together and expressing his gratitude, saying, 

“Young Master Lu, thanks to your timely assistance today, I, Su Wenbin, on behalf of the Su family, would like to express our gratitude to you!”

Lu Fei didn’t become arrogant due to favoritism and quickly evaded Su Wenbin’s bow. He lightly supported Su Wenbin and smiled faintly, saying, 

“Patriarch Su, you’re too polite. I merely did what I could.”

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Su Wenbin’s expression froze for a moment. After a bitter smile, he continued, 

“Young Master Lu, I have said before that as long as someone revives my grandfather, the Su family will provide a satisfactory reward!”

“If there’s anything Young Master Lu needs, feel free to ask. As long as the Su family can do it, I, Su Wenbin, will do my best!”

Upon hearing Su Wenbin’s words, Lu Fei’s gaze didn’t even flicker.

It was as if the promise of the Su family’s patriarch was just a trivial matter in his eyes!

Lu Fei looked at Su Wenbin’s expectant gaze, pondered for a moment, and then said, 

“Patriarch Su, actually, I don’t have any requests. Helping others is just following my heart. When I extended my help, I never thought about any rewards. Otherwise, I would have intervened from the beginning!”

“The reason I helped later was simply that I couldn’t bear to see an old gentleman on the verge of death suffering. That’s why I came to help.”

“I’m just an ordinary follower of the Mu family. If there’s anything I need, the Mu family will take care of it!”

As Lu Fei spoke these words, almost everyone present looked at him with a slightly shocked expressions.

Someone like you, a follower?

What?

A follower of the Mu family!

Even if he’s a follower of the Mu family, so what? Isn’t he still just a follower?

Who would believe such a thing if it were spread outside!

If you’re not satisfied there, come to my house. I’ll treat you like an ancestor, how about that?

Almost all of the guests felt that Lu Fei’s words were an attempt to evade the situation.

How could someone like Lu Fei possibly be just a follower?

Although most of the guests at the Su family banquet didn’t believe it, Su Wenbin knew.

What Lu Fei said… was actually the truth.

When Su Wenbin first saw Lu Fei, it was today, accompanying Mu Ruoxue.

When Mu Ruoxue introduced him to Su Wenbin, she also mentioned that Lu Fei was her follower.

At that time, when Su Wenbin saw Lu Fei for the first time, he felt that there was something extraordinary about him.

But he didn’t expect that a follower with such an exceptional temperament would possess such remarkable medical skills.

And standing not far from Lu Fei was Jiang Wenying, who also had a look of astonishment in her eyes as she watched him.

Didn’t Lu Fei know about the influence of the Su family?

If the Mu family could be considered the local emperor in the capital of Magic, then the Su family was the local power in Tianjin City, although their influence couldn’t compare to the Mu family’s.

But the Su family was not to be underestimated.

Even their Jiang family was weaker than the Su family!

The patriarch of the Su family personally offered to reward Lu Fei.

Such a promise was much better than being a so-called follower in the Mu family!

It can be said that for anyone with ambition, the Su family was definitely the best way out.

But Lu Fei cleanly and decisively refused.

Could it be that he really just wanted to be an ordinary follower?

Or is there something about this young man that she doesn’t know?

Mu Ruoxue’s little mind didn’t think that far.

In her eyes, as she looked at Lu Fei, there were stars shining brightly.

She didn’t know when it started, but she suddenly felt that Lin Ran was no longer appealing.

Compared to her own follower, Lin Ran’s performance was simply lacking.

She didn’t know what she was thinking at the time, how could she have thought that she would like that boy Lin Ran?

“Lu Fei, you’re amazing!”

Mu Ruoxue suddenly rushed to Lu Fei’s side, opened her arms, and exclaimed sweetly, 

“Uncle Su, you’re the best!”

“But Lu Fei belongs to me, you can’t snatch him!”

Mu Ruoxue looked like a protective little cat, inexplicably exuding a sense of possessiveness.

Seeing a young beauty fiercely protecting Lu Fei, the people below couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy.

They all sighed, as expected of Lu Fei, a man should be like this!

Seeing Mu Ruoxue guarding him as if she was guarding against a thief, Su Wenbin couldn’t help but smile wryly. He deliberately softened his tone and said gently, 

“Ruoxue, Uncle Su just wants to fulfill his promise, I’m not trying to take him away from you!”

Su Wenbin smiled helplessly. If they were in private, he might try to recruit Lu Fei. 

But in front of so many people, he couldn’t lower his dignity and compete with someone who was as young as his daughter!

“That’s good, anyway, you can’t snatch him, he’s mine!” 

Mu Ruoxue said without realizing that what she said was inappropriate.

Jiang Wenying, who was listening to Mu Ruoxue’s words, had no expression on her face, but she inexplicably felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. 

The brightness in her eyes dimmed slightly.

However, no one could see anything on the surface, they could only notice that Jiang Wenying’s eyelashes, which were normally curved upwards, drooped slightly.
