Chapter 48: Chapter 48- Again
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Lin Fan panicked a little.
Cousin was about to leave him!
Oh my G.o.d!
If that happened, he wouldn’t have a helper. Even in You City, he would feel really uneasy. If he faced people from Liang or Yuan Family, who he wanted to beat up, he would have to do so personally.
What a loss of his face and ident.i.ty!
On the streets.
“Cousin, what does Father want you to go do?” Lin Fan asked. It was best if he didn’t need to leave and could follow him. It was so good; he got to play and cause trouble with no repercussions.
He spent every day happily and lived in such a contented manner. Wasn’t that perfect?
“I don’t know. Cousin, you have to pay attention to your safety when I am not around.” Zhou Zhongmao couldn’t bear to leave his cousin. During this period of time, they had so much fun together. However, he had to listen to Uncle’s orders.
Father was going to remove all his strongest martial arts helpers from his side.
Is it to make it so that he couldn’t cause any trouble and couldn’t behave arrogantly?
“Cousin, don’t worry. I will finish matters and return quickly.” Zhou Zhongmao said. He looked towards Gou’zi, “Gou’zi, take care of Cousin when I am not here. When you face trouble, you have to risk your life and protect him.”
“Yes.” Gou’zi replied. This was something he had to do. He didn’t need others to say anything. If Young Master really faced danger, he would protect him without any hesitation.
Lin Fan’s interest greatly reduced, “Let’s go home, let’s go home.”
Liang Manor.
“Father, that fellow was the one who did it! He confessed it in front of me!” Liang Yongqi was in a bad state; his face was beaten up till it was all swollen. It hurt; it really hurt. That fire-like pain was something one couldn’t imagine unless one personally felt it.
He had never thought that there would be such a lawless person.
That person held his ident.i.ty in total disregard.
It was like saying that he was on the same level as Lin Fan.
He beat him up right after saying that he would, without any hesitation at all. Did he not give him any face at all?
“Do you have proof?” Old Master Liang asked
Liang Yongqi was anxious, “Father, what proof do we need? He personally admitted it in front of me that he was the one who did it.”
“Idiot.” Old Master Liang had never thought that his third son would be so dumb, “He admitted it, but did anyone else hear it? Or you are strong enough that other people will believe what you say?”
Liang Yongqi looked towards his father in a pained manner.
Dumb?
Father actually said that he was dumb. That had never happened in the past.
In the past, he was praised for being smart and thoughtful. Now he was being called dumb. This change was a little too huge, right?
“Father, I…” Liang Yongqi didn’t know what he should say.
Since Father made things so clear, what else could he say?
Old Master Liang shook his head in disappointment, “Go rest up. You don’t have to bother with this matter anymore.”
For some reason, he thought of his eldest son that he disliked in the past.
In comparison, he suddenly felt that the eldest son was more stable and reliable than the third son.
Maybe it was because he liked the new and hated the old.
Liang Yongqi wanted to speak but stopped. He sighed and left with his head down low.
He felt that things weren’t right.
Father wasn’t as warm towards him as before. This was a dangerous sign.
He thought about one possibility.
Elder Brother must have sucked up to Father, to take away Father’s love for him. How annoying.
Liang Yongqi didn’t say much and retreated.
Saying any more things to Father would instead make him more unhappy.
When he was about to leave, he saw Liang Yichu walk over. He mocked, “Big Brother, you are really skilled. Let’s wait and see.”
Liang Yichu smiled, “Third Brother, to split the burden for Father is what we are supposed to do.”
“Scoff.” Liang Yongqi scoffed coldly and left.
Lin Family Manor.
Lin Fan returned to the courtyard, restlessly laying on the courtyard chair and closing his eyes to rest.
The number shown by the small support was decent.
Rage Points: 5,231.
He had some gains.
Days pa.s.sed just like that. Time pa.s.sed slowly, so there was no rush. While experiencing life, being able to increase stats was a good choice.
After Zhou Zhongmao returned, he directly entered the reading room. Who knew what Father wanted Cousin to do.
Lin Manor had so many people, but he had to ask Cousin to do it. He was obviously taking away the people from his side.
Within the reading room.
“Uncle, Cousin lacks people. If I leave, then what if he is in danger.” Zhou Zhongmao said.
Truthfully, he really didn’t want to go. He just wanted to be by his cousin’s side.
Lin Wanyi glanced, “Danger? Your cousin is causing problems everywhere. He is asking for danger. For you to help him bully others and beat up people means you are helping him make enemies.”
Zhou Zhongmao was helpless.
It seemed like he was unable to avoid this matter.
Cousin ah, it’s best if he was low profile and did not cause trouble. If you offended a strong person, he might even get beaten up.
“There is a decent-sized pirate group at Wei River, bring people over to wipe them out.” Lin Wanyi said.
“Uncle, isn’t that Wei River under the control of Yuan and Liang Families, why do we have to care?” Zhou Zhongmao asked.
He remembers what happened then.
Liang and Yuan Family came to Lin Family to talk about splitting the control of Wei River.
He originally thought they were just asking for trouble. How would Uncle even agree?
Who knew that he really did, handing Wei River over to them.
He really didn’t understand the reason then. Now that he had grown up, he still didn’t understand.
Lin Wanyi frowned, “Zhongmao, you followed your cousin’s side for so long. Why do you have to ask so many questions?”
“Yes, Uncle. I am wrong. I will set off now.” Zhou Zhongmao said.
It seemed like it was really because Uncle was going against Cousin.
In the past, he wouldn’t ask these questions.
Lin Wanyi waved his hands, and Zhou Zhongmao left. He went to pack up and immediately left for Wei River.
“Old Master, the pirates are so weak, only that kid is decent. But facing Zhongmao, who is Grade Eight, it is far from enough.” Old Wu said.
“Scoff, with Zhongmao’s cultivation, those pirates are too weak. But they are really cunning, and to clear them out isn’t easy. Let him go over for a period of time. Let’s see how that unfilial child heads out to bully people.” Lin Wanyi said.
He did it on purpose.
That night, Lin Manor was really quiet.
Lin Fan wanted to control the bugs to rob the Yuan Family Granary.
However, thinking about how he was so tired last night, he stopped. He hypnotised himself. Forget it; forget it. Let’s just play tomorrow when he felt more energised.
He rested on the bed and very quickly entered a dream state.
Who knew how long pa.s.sed.
Peng!
An ear-piercing sound spread forth.
Kuang dang!
Lin Fan turned around, his eyes staring wide open. What did he see?
A dagger stuck beside his bed, several centimeters from his face. The dagger was still shaking.
If it hit his head, he would have lost his life!
“F***! Isn’t it enough?”
Lin Fan got up, pushing off the bed with one hand. He looked out, and a black shadow appeared underneath the moonlight.
a.s.sa.s.sin.
That a.s.sa.s.sin again!
“Do you have a problem? Why do you keep looking for me?” Lin Fan scolded out. He definitely had problems. What did he actually do for there to be a need for him to come every few days so early in the morning?
The a.s.sa.s.sin didn’t speak; he instantly moved.
He stepped into the air, using a strong movement technique to leave a series of afterimages in the air.
The dagger that struck by the bed flew back into the a.s.sa.s.sin’s hands. He didn’t say anything.
