Chapter Thirteen: Recognizing a Beautiful Elder Sister

  The man in black had no intention of confronting Lin Wushuang head-on, and in the blink of an eye he had disappeared into the tavern. By the time Lin Wushuang thought to chase after him, he found that the man in black was nowhere to be seen.

  The entire tavern was left with only Lin Wushuang, looking at the empty tavern, Lin Wushuang let out a faint sigh in his heart. He knew very clearly that for a war king to secretly kill a warrior was fundamentally an event without any suspense.

  At dusk, the setting sun slowly fell, and the entire land seemed to be covered with a thin layer of gauze, giving people a dreamy feeling. In the Lin family's main hall, Lin Wushuang looked at the several people in front of him with some surprise, wondering why Baibao Hall, the number one power in Luocheng City, had suddenly arrived at the Lin residence.

  Everyone in Luojing City knew very well that the power behind Baibao Hall was terrifying. Baibao Business House, one of the two major business houses of Longteng Empire, was said to have a war king sitting inside.

  "Mr. Lin, the purpose of Baibao Hall's visit this time is to meet young master Lin," said Bailian, without any courtesy, his face still showing a hint of excitement, as if he couldn't wait to see the legendary young master of the Lin family.

  If it were before, a junior apprentice would not have been valued by Bailian. But now is different from the past. The Washing Marrow Pill that Lin Fan took out today is absolutely an ancient and modern divine medicine. At first, no one in the entire Baibao Hall believed that a small pill could have such a magical effect, allowing a mid-level fighter to quickly rise to the realm of a high-level fighter.

  Then Baibao Hall found a mid-level warrior to test the medicine. At first, this warrior was in severe pain all over his body, and then he started going to the toilet. By the time dusk fell on the ground, this warrior suddenly discovered with excitement that his long-stagnant boundary had actually been vaguely improved. Suddenly, the entire Baibao Hall boiled over.

  Without any hesitation, Bai Ling first informed the headquarters that no matter what the cost, they had to send Ba Ye Cao to Lu Ri Cheng as soon as possible. Then she brought several managers from Ba Bao Tang and rushed to Lin's house in a hurry, just to prevent others from discovering the secrets of the Lin family.

  See his own son? Lin Wushuang was slightly surprised at the purpose of Baobao Hall's visit to Lin's house, thinking that his precious son had gotten into trouble again. He asked, "Is it because my young son has offended Baobao Hall in some way? If so, I'll apologize on his behalf first."

  "Mr. Lin smiled and said, 'Lin Shao Tian is a rare talent, Baibao Hall admires him greatly. Today I came mainly to discuss a business deal with Mr. Lin.'"

  Looking at Baolong's smile, it didn't seem fake, Lin Wushuang was thoroughly puzzled. What did his own son look like? He knew better than anyone in his heart. Genius from birth? Where did this come from? It seemed that Luoricheng had called his own son a prodigal disciple, when did he become a genius from birth?

  Lin Wushuang's face revealed a hint of speechless smile, and he asked somewhat doubtfully: "Is Baibao Hall really not mistaken? Are you talking about my son?" Although in the past few days, his own useless son seemed to have changed in some ways, his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, but compared to Tianzong's genius, it was still far from comparable.

  "Uncle Lin has seen it, we have already witnessed Lin Shao's extraordinary talent, and our Baibao Hall also firmly believes that there is no mistake, please ask Uncle Lin to bring out Lin Shao".

  Upon hearing the four words "unparalleled in the world", Lin Wushuang was even more speechless, thinking to himself what kind of day it was today and why Baibao Tang kept praising his own son to death, addressing him as "Uncle Lin" all along.

  It's worth noting that as the highest authority of Baibao Hall, Bailin is someone that even the Lord of Luoshicheng would show deference to. Previously, everyone had been addressing him as Master Lin, so when he suddenly spoke up, it was a bit uncomfortable for this Master Lin.

  Lin Wushuang said that no matter what, he was the master of the house and not some rustic village husband. Although he still had doubts and misunderstandings in his heart, he ordered his servants to call his precious son to see what had happened, how a spoiled child suddenly became a genius with unparalleled talent.

  "I'm not hiding it from you all, but the young master was unfortunately assassinated on his way back today and suffered severe injuries. Whether he can come out to see you all still depends on himself."

  If it were someone else, Lin Wushuang would never let his own son come out to meet the guest. After all, Lin Fan's injuries he had seen with his own eyes, and being able to escape from a war king's assassination was something that Lin Wushuang was still very satisfied with. After all, there was a huge difference between a war king and a warrior, and in the entire Lu Ri City, apart from himself, probably only Hei Yiren, a war king, existed.

  When they heard that Lin Fan had been assassinated, the faces of several people from Baibao Hall changed drastically. Especially Bailin, his face was unspeakably gloomy, thinking that Lin Fan had just handed over the Xiwu Dan to him in the morning and was assassinated on his way back, wondering if someone had already known about the Xiwu Dan?

  Apart from this reason, Bai Ling couldn't think of any other reason. At this moment, everyone in Baibao Hall thought that Lin Fan was assassinated solely because of his transaction with Baibao Hall. After all, the Washing Marrow Dan had already proven its miraculous effects, and whoever it was would want to get their hands on such a heaven-defying elixir.

  Just as Bai Ling was asking who assassinated Lin Shao, Lin Fan walked in step by step with a lazy expression. Seeing that it was people from the Hundred Treasures Hall, Lin Fan's face didn't show any surprise because he knew in his heart that with the miraculousness of his Washing Marrow Pill, the Hundred Treasures Hall would definitely look for him at the first opportunity if they weren't fools.

  "Lin Shao, who exactly assassinated you?" Seeing Lin Fan enter, Bai Ling hastily asked, her face filled with anxiety. In fact, both parties were well aware that Baibao Hall didn't care about Lin Fan's life, but rather the Xiwu Dan in his possession.

  It's one thing to be clear in your mind, and another to say it out loud. Both parties aren't fools, so some things don't need to be explicitly stated. Lin Fan didn't show any signs of evasion and directly said: "The one who attempted to assassinate me was a War King, I need the protection of Baibao Hall".

  "War King!"

  The person who assassinated Lin Fan was actually the War King, and everyone in Baibao Hall, including Bailian, changed their expressions. Every single one of them knew exactly what the War King represented. If it were a war master, even a great war master, Baibao Hall's strength would not be taken into account at all. But as soon as they thought that the other party was a War King, several people felt like they had been pressed by a thousand-pound boulder.

  A cold smile in his heart, Lin Fan looked at the people in front of him with a detached expression. Neither he nor Lin Wushuang spoke up, and Baibao Hall didn't know what to say either. For a moment, the entire hall fell into a dead silence, where even a pin drop could be heard.

  It seemed like a century had passed, yet it also seemed like only a second had ticked by. Baolong's expression changed several times before he finally appeared to have made up his mind. He looked at the young man in front of him and spoke slowly: "In the future, Lin Shao's safety will be entrusted to the Baobao Hall, but I hope that Lin Shao can also agree to one thing for me - what is it?"

  "Miss is not allowed", Baolong had just finished speaking, and the three old men standing behind him simultaneously spoke out to stop him. Now if they agree with the Lin family, it would also mean that Baibao Hall has made an enemy of a powerful war king from now on. A war king is not the same as a war master, and the threat of a war king is something that even Baibao Hall does not want to provoke lightly.

  He waved his hand, and Baolong's voice was somewhat unpleasant: "I have my own measure", then his eyes stared at the young man in front of him. Lin Fan was also slightly surprised by Baolong's decision, he didn't expect that for a single Huixuandan, Baibao Hall would attach so much importance to himself, and even dare to make an enemy of a powerful warrior like Zhanwang.

  He nodded slightly, Lin Fan was very clear in his mind that with his current strength, he was not a match for a war king at all. If he had the backing of Baibao Hall, then even if the opponent was a war king, so what?

  Seeing Lin Fan nod, Bailin's heart finally relaxed a bit. She was not as short-sighted as the three people behind her. Lin Fan could actually refine such an against-the-heavens dan medicine, which already showed his existing value and potential.

  "I only hope that in the future, all the elixirs refined by Lin Shao will be auctioned off by Baibao Hall, and we won't take a single penny of commission, how about it?"

  "A promise is a promise."

  "A promise is a promise."

  In just a few words, the two had already reached an agreement. Lin Wushuang, who had been watching from the side without saying a word, was filled with doubt and wondered when his son had become so mysterious that he could find such a powerful backer as Baibao Hall, and that in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about being assassinated by the black-clad men.

  No matter whether it was Lin Wushuang or Lin Fan, the father and son duo were actually very clear in their hearts that Baibao Hall was absolutely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Although Luoricheng didn't have a war king, Baibao Hall definitely had a war king presiding over it, otherwise, Bailian wouldn't have agreed so easily, because only by using a king to control a king could one resolve their own crisis.

  Everything was settled, and the relationship between the two sides seemed to have become slightly closer. Baoling said: "Lin Shao, if you don't mind, why not call me 'sister' from now on? After all, I'm a few years older than you, so calling me 'sister' shouldn't be a loss for you."

  Shrimp rice? Let me call you sister, isn't this still a loss for you? Lin Fan was completely speechless after hearing Baoling's words. Lin Fan really couldn't understand, things were going well, how did it suddenly turn into him acknowledging her as his sister?

  But before Lin Fan could speak, Bailin seemed somewhat displeased and said: "What? Can't bear to acknowledge me as your sister?"

  When Lin Fan heard this, he could only helplessly acknowledge the beauty as his sister. However, thinking about it, having such a beautiful girl as a sister didn't seem like a bad thing after all.

  "Hey, Ling Jie, what's the situation with the Hundred Leaf Grass?" Lin Fan asked while acknowledging the beautiful sister. At the same time, he couldn't forget about his own urgent need for the Hundred Leaf Grass. However, Lin Fan was certain that even if Baibao Hall had immense power, it would be impossible for them to retrieve the Hundred Leaf Grass from their headquarters before tonight, given the vast distance between the capital of the Dragon's Ascent Empire and Luoshen City.
