As the young miss of the Qin family, Qin Qiu was no fool, and could naturally see the potential in Lu Fan.
Setting aside other things, just his black dragon alone was enough to propel him to the pinnacle of the world in the future.
Such a person would definitely not be constrained to a small place like Jianghai City.
And she, Qin Qiu, was just the daughter of the mayor of Jianghai City. Though she seemed to come from a prestigious clan, compared to Lu Fan's potential, she was as insignificant as dust.
So Qin Qiu's attitude toward Lu Fan was extremely respectful.
At the same time, she was also relieved that she had been highly cultivated since childhood, and during the time spent with Lu Fan, she felt she had treated him quite well, not having any conflicts with him.
Qin Qiu's attitude actually made Lu Fan somewhat uncomfortable.
He waved his hand and said, "Since there are no objections, then I'll take the equipment."
"By the way, we're all students from Jianghai City who will soon be taking the big exam, you don't need to be so polite to me, I'm not used to it."
Qin Qiu was very perceptive, and hearing Lu Fan say this, she nodded and said, "Okay, since we're comrades who have cleared a dungeon together, I'll just treat you as a friend as before."
"Mm." Lu Fan nodded.
With Qin Qiu's words, the relationship between her and Lu Fan was established as "friends." Lu Fan could hear Qin Qiu's thoughts, but didn't say anything.
After all, Qin Qiu was the daughter of the mayor of Jianghai City, and also had great potential as a hidden profession, so there was nothing wrong with befriending this noble lady.
As Lu Fan put on the Resentment Ring, a teleportation array finally appeared before everyone, allowing them to leave the secret realm.
Although the crisis had been resolved, this place was still gloomy and terrifying, and Cai'er and the other female mage had already reached the limit of their psychological endurance, so everyone used the teleportation array to leave the secret realm.
Returning from the secret realm, they found themselves back on the original stone plain.
Since Xiao Ye's existence had already been seen by Qin Qiu and the others, Lu Fan no longer needed to hide it, and didn't put the "wailing" dragon back into the pet space, but let it stay by his side.
After returning to the stone plain, everyone's curiosity and attention naturally gathered on Xiao Ye.
Including Qin Qiu, everyone examined Xiao Ye from top to bottom, as if looking at some rare animal.
Well, the existence of dragons in this world was like that of gods, mysterious and powerful. Although it had been confirmed that they exist, how many people in the world had truly seen one?
And now, a living, breathing dragon appeared before them, how could they not be interested?
Xiao Ye had a bit of contempt for these ant-like creatures at its feet, and couldn't help but sneeze, exhaling some scorching flames from its mouth and nose, causing Qin Qiu's delicate face to turn deathly pale as she retreated several steps.
Sun Ge also didn't dare to approach Xiao Ye recklessly, keeping a safe distance and exclaiming to Lu Fan, "Little Brother Lu, you've really opened our eyes..."
"I've lived for so long, and I've really never seen a thing like a dragon before. Where did you get this dragon of yours?"
Lu Fan smiled without answering. It was obvious he didn't want to respond.
Sun Ge immediately realized that his question had touched on Lu Fan's bottom line. Thinking about it, this kind of secret could never be revealed to the outside.
After all, it involved the incredibly powerful dragon race!
"Sorry, Little Brother Lu, I spoke without thinking just now, just forget it!" Sun Ge said, slapping himself on the mouth as a way to apologize to Lu Fan.
Qin Qiu also knew that if the secrets around Lu Fan were to be made public, the commotion would be huge.
Holding the Holy Light Seal, she actively said to Lu Fan, "Well... you can rest assured, the matter about this dragon won't be leaked out by us Qin family, we won't cause you trouble."
Lu Fan nodded and said, "Mm, just keep this matter within the Qin family."
Lu Fan also knew that Qin Qiu would most likely tell Qin Shanhai about this.
That was fine, since so many people had seen his dragon, one more Qin Shanhai knowing about Xiao Ye didn't matter, as long as the news didn't spread too widely.
Moreover, when the big exam came, the fact that he had a dragon wouldn't be kept secret anyway.
It's just that by then, he would be attending the academy, leaving Jianghai City, and with the school helping him deal with it, having people know he had a dragon wouldn't be a problem.
Since Xiao Ye had already reached level 10, Lu Fan no longer had a reason to stay on the stone plain.
With Xiao Jia and Sun Ge's injuries still serious, Lu Fan also returned to Jianghai City together with Qin Qiu's group.
After a day's long journey, the two groups finally returned to Jianghai City.
Sun Ge and the others pulled out their phones, directly notifying the Qin family to send cars to pick them up, and also called an extra car specifically to take Lu Fan back.
The Qin family's cars arrived quickly, all luxury cars worth millions, enough to show the Qin family's tremendous wealth.
Before parting, Qin Qiu specifically came to the car to bid farewell to Lu Fan.
"Classmate Lu, the reward I promised you, I'll have someone deliver it to you by tomorrow at the latest," Qin Qiu waved to Lu Fan in the car. "We'll see each other again at the exam site, I wish you good luck!"
Lu Fan nodded and smiled, "Mm, okay. You too, perform well in the big exam."
After Lu Fan said this, the car slowly drove away.
