Chapter 406: A Passing Acquaintance

Yang Fan couldn't help teasing, "Impressive, but since you know so many people, why don't you introduce your husband to me?"

Lu Wan glanced at him, then said earnestly,

"Of course I will introduce him."

"However… it's those people inside."

After speaking, she pointed toward the direction of the hall.

Just at that moment, a few somewhat familiar figures suddenly walked toward Yang Fan.

Moreover, their target was not Lu Wan, but Yang Fan.

"Brother Yang, I never expected you to have come this far after a few years apart."

"Congratulations."

Four figures stopped in front of Yang Fan with smiles on their faces.

Yang Fan was slightly stunned.

After seeing clearly who had come, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.

He did indeed know these four people, and they were all members of the Five Great Families.

They were precisely the other four prodigies who had hosted the Heavenly Pride Apotheosis Battle alongside Sima Tianci back at the Primordial Academy.

He hadn't expected that after graduating and coming to the Frontline, he would actually be able to meet them again.

Before Yang Fan could speak, Lu Wan on the side took the initiative to greet them with a smile.

"Cousin Lu Chengyuan, and three other cousins."

"I didn't expect that you guys actually know my husband."

Hearing Lu Wan's form of address, the four of them were visibly stunned for a moment.

Then Han Wuji quickly waved his hand.

"Manager Lu is too polite, Brother Yang and we only met once back then."

"We happened to run into each other today, so we came over to say hello."

His tone clearly carried a bit of restraint.

Although they belonged to the same Five Great Families, distinct status gaps equally existed within the families.

Not to mention that their own Human Federation ratings were only Grade A talent.

Judging purely by background, their elders were also far from being able to compare with big figures standing at the apex of the Human Race like Lu Yanran.

Furthermore, although Lu Wan was not old, she was already one of the heavily cultivated business helmsmen of the Lu Family, holding a massive amount of industries in her hands.

Therefore, Lu Wan suddenly calling them "cousin" instead left the few of them momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

"Then we'll go in first."

Lu Wan said politely, "Let's keep in touch if there's a chance in the future."

"Please go ahead, Manager Lu."

The few of them hurriedly cleared the way.

Watching how along the way, those deities proactively greeted Lu Wan, even carrying a hint of ingratiation.

Yang Fan couldn't help feeling a sense of emotion in his heart.

He had to admit that this wife of his was indeed very formidable.

You must know that Lu Wan was only a year or two older than him.

If one didn't consider God-Kingdom talent and merely compared personal abilities.

Lu Wan was probably far stronger than him, and it could even be said to be a complete crushing defeat.

Right before entering the hall, Yang Fan's gaze suddenly glanced toward a corner on the side.

Just now, he had felt a trace of faint malice.

Although that emotion was hidden extremely deeply and appeared for an extremely short time.

But with his Mental Energy, he was still able to capture it.

At the corner, a figure was standing with their back facing him.

The corners of Yang Fan's mouth curved up slightly.

"Graduated early, huh?"

"Without the War God Record, you were actually able to break through to a deity this fast."

"It seems you've experienced quite a lot these past few years."

With Yang Fan's current Mental Energy.

Even with the other person's back turned to him, he could easily clearly see that person's appearance.

Ma Huainan, a Genius who entered the Primordial Academy in the same cohort as him.

According to normal circumstances, the other party should be like Gu Le, still having about half a year before coming to the Frontline.

But now that Ma Huainan had appeared here, it obviously meant that he had already completed a Breakthrough during his senior year, becoming a deity in advance.

Yang Fan gently licked his lips.

Afterwards, he didn't continue to pay attention and entered the hall together with Lu Wan.

The interior space of the hall was even more expansive than it looked from the outside.

However, compared to the liveliness outside, this place appeared rather quiet instead.

In the huge hall, not too many people had gathered.

As soon as Yang Fan and Lu Wan entered, they immediately attracted the gazes of quite a few people.

Just at this moment, Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng's figure walked over.

He came in front of Yang Fan and directly reached out to pat his shoulder.

"Haha, you kid has finally come."

Slap!

With a soft sound, Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng's palm landed.

However, the next second, his expression changed slightly.

Because he felt his palm actually aching faintly.

Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng glanced at Yang Fan, then looked at his own hand, unable to help complaining:

"You fellow, aren't you cultivating three routes simultaneously?"

"How is your physical strength so exaggerated?"

"Don't tell me you secretly chose to specialize in the Martial Route?"

Yang Fan smiled and didn't answer, just politely saying: "Brother Jiuheng, long time no see."

Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng rolled his eyes.

"You brat, if little brother Han hadn't told me, I wouldn't even know you got married again."

"And…"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Wan by the side.

"It's even with Manager Lu."

His tone was full of complexity.

Actually, when he first heard that Yang Fan had gotten married again, Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng had even thought of backing up Gu Le to save face.

He even thought of letting Yang Fan understand who the true legal wife was.

But later, after hearing that the partner was Lu Wan, this thought vanished instantly.

Are you kidding me?

Who was Lu Wan?

The business Genius of the Lu Family.

Among the younger generation of the Human Federation today, one of the figures who truly controlled massive industries.

More crucially… he still had several low-interest loans in his hands, which were provided by the company under Lu Wan.

Therefore, looking at Yang Fan right now, Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng's eyes even carried a trace of envy.

This soft rice… is just too sweet to eat.

Even he had a slight urge to seek pointers from Yang Fan.

"Little brother Han?" Hearing this form of address, Yang Fan frowned slightly.

Doubt appeared on his face.

Logically speaking, the matter of his marriage to Lu Wan had not been publicized on a large scale, and the people who knew should not be many.

"Han Jue."

Brigade Commander Gu Jiuheng explained.

"Your classmate from the Primordial Academy."

Hearing this name, Yang Fan immediately looked toward Lu Wan.

And Lu Wan was similarly somewhat puzzled at this moment.

Clearly, she hadn't expected that Han Jue actually knew her husband long ago.

Just at this moment, a figure slowly walked out from the back of the hall.

As the host of this banquet, he naturally attracted everyone's gazes.

Yang Fan raised his head and looked over.

The next moment, his gaze narrowed slightly.

Yang Fan finally understood why he felt a faint sense of familiarity when hearing the name "Han Jue".

So it was him.

Wasn't this precisely the person he had met in the tier-three zone of the Alien Divine Kingdom Zone?

Back then, the two of them only had a fleeting encounter.

Although the other party had proactively stated their name, Yang Fan hadn't taken it too much to heart at the time.

After all, both parties had only met by chance.

He had originally thought that the two wouldn't have any further intersections afterward.

He hadn't expected to run into him so quickly, and the other party was even the host of this banquet.

"Husband."

Lu Wan looked at Yang Fan in some surprise, "You really know Han Jue?"

Yang Fan nodded, "A passing acquaintance."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the corners of Lu Wan's mouth curved up slightly.

"Husband, looking at your relationship like this, it certainly doesn't look like you've only met once."
