Chapter 21: The Crisis of the Lin Family

  He couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, feeling somewhat speechless about Lin family's young master, Lin Fan. Last year's good opportunity had been wasted just like that, and this year he even had to go out of his way to find Baibao Hall.

  "Dad, I've already taken care of the quota thing, you don't have to worry."

  When Lin Wushuang heard his son's words, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and then quickly returned to calmness. As soon as he thought that his son could refine two kinds of heavenly pills, Lin Wushuang had a feeling of being in a different world, as if his son had changed completely overnight, becoming totally different from before.

  Nodding, Lin Wushuang didn't say anything else. One in front of the other, the father and son left the Lin family ancestral hall, while Lin Fan carried a black giant sword back to his own courtyard.

  With both hands grasping the black giant sword, Lin Fan roughly estimated that the sword weighed over 30,000 catties. With his current high-level warrior strength, it seemed somewhat difficult to wield it purely with brute force. Lin Fan thought for a moment and decided that in order to fully manipulate the black giant sword, he would need to raise his cultivation to at least the level of a high-level warrior master.

  "Wow, young master, where did you get such a huge sword?"

  Just as Lin Fan was thinking about how to practice his sword, four beautiful girls quickly walked over from a distance, who were Lin Fan's four personal maids, Chunju, Xialian, Qiuye and Dongmei.

  The four beautiful maidservants arrived in front of Lin Fan, their faces filled with shock as they stared at the black giant sword. However, it was likely that not even a second sword like this could be found throughout the entire Luoshen City.

  "How did you four come in? Didn't I say that without my permission, no one is allowed to enter casually?" His face was slightly darkened. Although Lin Fan liked the four little maids by his side very much, he didn't like anyone disturbing him whether it was during alchemy or cultivation.

  "Master, we didn't mean to intrude, Second Miss asked us to invite you over."

  Actually, the four beautiful maids did not say the real reason. Although Lin Yuxin had invited Lin Fan, she didn't let all four come to invite him at the same time. Since Lin Fan crossed over, his behavior and actions have changed greatly, as if he has become a completely different person. The four little maids are like kittens in heat, waiting for their own spring to arrive.

  The four of them heard that the second young lady had invited Master Lin, and all four wanted to enter the courtyard to invite Lin Fan. Because since Lin Fan's first day in this world, he had decreed that no one was allowed to enter the courtyard without his permission. The four beautiful maid servants hadn't seen their own master for a long time.

  In fact, the four of them were very depressed. Previously, the young master would entangle them every day, and his lecherous eyes would always be on them. But now, the young master not only didn't use those lecherous eyes to stare at them again, but he also disappeared completely, locking himself in the courtyard all day without knowing what he was doing.

  When he heard that it was Lin Yuxin calling him, Lin Fan's complexion slightly improved. He adjusted his clothes and said in a still somewhat displeased tone: "I'll say it again, from now on, without my permission, no one is allowed to enter the Jiuxiao Institute, otherwise they will be severely punished."

  Jiuxiao Courtyard, Lin Fan's private courtyard. Looking at the young master who had already disappeared, the four women all looked a bit downcast. They couldn't understand why their own young master would become like this now. Was it that the young master didn't like them anymore?

  Chunyu Pavilion, Lin Yuxin's residence, surrounded by water on three sides, with birdsong and fragrant flowers, giving people a first impression like a paradise on earth. As soon as he stepped into Chunyu Pavilion, Lin Fan took a few deep breaths of the air here, silently sighing that it was such a beautiful place.

  "You're here."

  Just as Lin Fan was taking a deep breath, Lin Yuxin's voice came over, the sweet tone giving people a numb feeling, if it wasn't for Lin Dashi's firm will, he might have already lost control.

  He suppressed the beastly blood boiling in his heart, gazing at the stunning beauty approaching him with slow steps. Lin Fan silently praised her beauty, thinking that she was even more beautiful than the Miss Hong Kong contestants he had watched before. However, after crossing over to the Eastern Profound Continent, whether it was Lin Yuxin or the Overlord Queen, they all made Lin realize what true stunning beauties looked like.

  Elegant and refined, with a stunning face that could topple cities paired with a figure that could overthrow empires, Lin Fan couldn't help but look up at the sky and ask wildly, "Heavens! Earth! Which great deity created such a perfect woman?"

  Lin Fan's face was very serious as he asked, "I heard the four maids say you were looking for me? Is there something on your mind?"

  She nodded slightly, and a hint of sadness appeared on Lin Yuxin's face, giving off an aura of pitifulness. Lin Fan believed that as long as it was a man, seeing Lin Yuxin like this would make him go crazy, rush over to show off his masculinity, and tightly hug the poor thing in his arms to dote on her thoroughly.

  "I don't know why, but starting from yesterday, the Li family has joined forces with other families to suppress all of Lin's businesses in Luoshan City, including Shi Fang. I just went to find the other five major families and the city lord's mansion, but no matter who it is, surprisingly, no one is willing to take charge of this matter. Lin Fan, I have a bad premonition in my heart, will something happen?"

  Is it the Li family again? Back in the small wine shop, Lin Fan heard that the eldest young master of the Li family defeated a mid-level fighter with one move. Now the Li family is joining forces with other families to suppress the Lin family, and coincidentally, Lin Wushuang just left the Lin family. Are these events linked together too coincidental?

  "You don't have to rush, I'll take care of this matter. You just rest well for now, I'm going out for a bit," Lin Fan said, not giving Lin Yuxin any chance to speak up. He quickly walked away and disappeared from view in the blink of an eye within Chunyu Pavilion.

  On the way, Lin Fan felt more and more that something was off. It seemed that the Lin family had fallen into a major conspiracy, and even the City Lord's Manor didn't want to get involved. It could be inferred that the Li family must have found some backing, otherwise they wouldn't be so fearless, making even the City Lord's Manor unwilling to intervene.

  Along the way, passersby looked at Lin with astonished eyes. They didn't know that this former young master had gone mad today and was actually carrying a large black sword around everywhere.

  He completely ignored the gaze of others, now that he had obtained the giant sword, he naturally wanted to carry it with him, this was also a way of cultivating himself. Carrying the giant sword, Lin Fan quickly walked towards the City Lord's Manor, at this moment, Lin Fan gave people a very strange feeling.

  The castle, a bronze-colored estate, looks very majestic from afar. The castle is different from the Baibao Hall, with two completely different architectural styles, each with its own characteristics.

  "I want to see Liu Yan," Lin Fan said in a flat tone as he arrived at the city lord's mansion, but the two guards seemed like dead men, not even giving him a straight look. After all, the reputation of the Lin family's young master was really too notorious, and even the guards looked down on him.

  The Lin family's affairs had long been spread throughout the entire Luoshen City, and the two guards also knew in their hearts why Young Master Lin came to find their own young lady. What made the two of them feel extremely depressed was how their own young lady treated this Young Master Lin - they understood it better than anyone else, so why did the young master of the Lin family still come?

  A cold smile in his heart, Lin Fan didn't continue to wait any longer. He turned around and quickly left, coming to a deserted area where no one was present. Lin Fan directly unfolded the Five Elements Escape Technique and disappeared from the spot.

  The lord of the castle, Liu Nan Tian, looked at the two people in front of him with a somewhat gloomy expression and said: "Are you too excessive? No matter what, the Lin family has made great contributions to Lu Ri Cheng. Now, with just one sentence from you, we are actually going to join forces to destroy the Lin family, and it's even when Lin Wu Shuang is not around. I cannot do that."

  Across from Liu Nan Tian, sat a man in black and the young master of the Li family. The man in black was the powerful warrior who had twice attempted to assassinate Lin Fan, while the young master of the Li family was Li Bi Guo, who had set up the plot to frame Lin Fan.

  After hearing Liu Nan Tian's words, the black-clothed man's aura clearly cooled down, and his voice was even colder as he said: "Liu City Master, the Lin family was originally an outsider, relying on their strong strength to enter Lu Ri Cheng. I can guarantee to Liu City Master that this time Liu Wu Shuang left Lu Ri Cheng, he will definitely not come back again."

  His face changed, Lin Wushuang's strength was clearer to Liu Nantian than anyone else. Mid-level War King realm, the number one strongman in Luorong City, although he was injured three years ago, but throughout Luorong City, there was still no one who could be his opponent.

  At this moment, the black-clothed man in front of him actually had such confidence, and Liu Nantian was really unbelievable. Before Liu Nantian could even open his mouth, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended, heavily pressing down on his body.

  "The War King", he suddenly stood up, Liu Nan Tian looked at the black-clad man in front of him with incredulity. He really didn't expect that the black-clad man was also a War King, no wonder he had the confidence to eliminate Lin Wu Shuang.

  Liu Nantian originally thought that the black-clothed man was at most on par with him, a high-level great war master. However, the gap between a high-level great war master and a war king was truly too vast, fundamentally an insurmountable chasm, so he was somewhat unwilling to give up on the Lin family.

  "Lord Liu, Master Shi has no other intention for you, as long as you can stand by and not interfere with the Lin family's affairs. As for the downfall of the Lin family, it will not implicate the City Lord's Manor either way."

  Li Bi Gu walked out slowly, and with his cultivation having already reached the realm of a war master, he seemed to be radiating an aura that was as sharp as a sword that had just been unsheathed.

  As for Li Jia's rapid improvement, Liu Nan Tian was also surprised, but now he finally understood that Li Bi Gu's improvement must be related to the black-clothed man in front of him, and it was even possible that the black-clothed man had helped him.

  This time, Liu Nan Tian thoroughly fell silent. On one side was the War King who had already been injured and left Luoshan City, while on the other side was the intact War King who was now by his side. Anyone who wasn't a fool could tell which one was more important.

  He let out a faint sigh in his heart, and Liu Nan Tian could only apologize to Lin Wu Shuang silently, because as a War King, he really couldn't afford to provoke him. Even if the entire Lu Ri City were to gather their strength, they wouldn't have the slightest chance of resisting a single War King. This was the terrifying aspect of being a War King.
