Chapter 207: What I Want Is Loyalty
“Young Master Lin, each person has their way of living. You can’t look at how they live and have bad intentions.”
Feng Poliu pulled Lin Fan and hoped that he could convince him with sincerity. He didn’t want him to offend others because of him being rash.
For example, he was low profile and well behaved and had friends all over. Although they couldn’t borrow money from him, he felt that his style of doing things was not bad.
He spent so many years out and he didn’t have many enemies.
In his words, this was a change in men that pa.s.sed 40.
Mature and having a sense of responsibility.
At the same time, they would respect society.
Lin Fan looked at Feng Poliu and said helplessly, “Why do I feel like you are a coward?”
“I am a coward?” Feng Poliu stared, his fingers pointed at himself. This was the best joke he heard in his life. He wanted to ask Lin Fan if he knew who he was?
Did he know what he did before this?
How would he know that he was so famous before?
“Eh, it feels like so.” Lin Fan nodded. He didn’t want to say more but such a combination was good. One bold, one timid, able to calm down when deciding things and think about how to face matters.
He admitted that this arrogant Zhao Bufan had a good background but that wasn’t a good reason to avoid a beating. He couldn’t kill him but he could beat him up.
He did that not because he saw that people were rich or that he envied or was jealous.
That wasn’t the case.
However, he saw how he was so young but was so arrogant because of his family’s background. That would affect his future development, so he felt a responsibility in educating him in case he sunk deeper and deeper onto the wrong path.
With how shallow Feng Poliu looked at problems, how could he understand his heart?
He didn’t.
Do you?
Zhao Bufan had three followers beside him. They were all slightly older, they seemed around 50 and might have been higher than that.
To reach Master Realm at that age meant that they weren’t talented and had few good opportunities.
They probably came here to take a look.
Now that Young Master Zhao jumped out and tossed such bait, how could these people take it?
However, most of the people were from various powers and just looked on. Most of them didn’t fight or yearn for this. After all, Zhao Family was strong and they couldn’t offend them. Even their sects couldn’t.
Feng Poliu looked at Zhao Bufan who had his head up and felt really helpless. Why did he have to do that? He didn’t know that his high profile nature had attracted someone’s attention.
However, he didn’t know and was still giving off the glow that aristocratic families had the right to give out.
He looked around. Young Master Zhao wasn’t strong, he was even quite weak. Normally speaking, such a person would be surrounded by experts.
But some people were quite weird.
They didn’t need experts to protect them and just walked about arrogantly, using their wealth to tempt others.
After some time, Young Master Zhao felt good, bringing those three and those under him to leave the place.
Although his actions made people feel like he was arrogant, he had a reason to be arrogant. If they were the Zhao Family Young Master, maybe they would be even more arrogant than Young Master Zhao.
“Go, let’s follow.” Lin Fan said.
When they were at the entrance, Young Master Zhao showed his shocking scenes. He told them to head to Zhao Family to take the money. He was so overbearing that it made one feel helpless.
In front of a true aristocratic family, the market took a step back and broke the rules.
“Young Master Zhao, do you need our sect to protect you as you leave?”
Zhao Bufan mocked, “No, I have never needed people to protect me when I am outside. Or you all want to send people to follow me to the Zhao Family, afraid that I won’t pay up?”
“No, definitely not.”
“That better be it, if not you are looking down on my Zhao Family.” Zhao Bufan smiled, directly bringing the three he recruited and left.
He really envied.
Lin Fan wanted to do such things but his strength was limited and others wouldn’t give him the face. He was just too weak and if he was stronger then these things wouldn’t happen.
He was outside.
The carriage wasn’t his and people from the market took it away.
He felt that the money was used too quickly. His hand didn’t even heat it up and it was sent away, making him feel helpless.
“Take it, it is better if we wear it later.” Feng Poliu took out three masks. He bought it last time and carried it around. He thought that he wouldn’t have to use it but he didn’t expect it today.
“This…” Lin Fan was helpless, a mask? He didn’t like masks but looking at the situation, he would scare Feng Poliu to death if he didn’t wear one.
Outside Rong City.
A luxurious carriage slowly traveled on the official path.
Young Master Zhao wouldn’t remain in Rong City. Three of the recruited helpers followed the carriage and defended at the sides.
To them, it was decent to be able to join the side of the Zhao Family.
Even if Zhao Bufan looked down on them, he was still a Zhao Family Young Master. As long as they needed, Young Master Zhao could help them and help raise their cultivation.
They had no choice.
There were two shortcuts in cultivation, one was joining a sect. But that took a long time. Sects valued loyalty and it was really compet.i.tive. One couldn’t do whatever they wanted.
Another would be to join an aristocratic family.
Whether their strength could increase would affect whether or not their Master had more room to improve. So if they wanted to raise their cultivation, Young Master Zhao would help them.
However, they just needed to pay a higher price.
Not only loyalty but also pride, their humanity, and they had to go against their own will.
Within the carriage, Zhao Bufan laid there, and in his hand was a long pipe. In his other hand, was a small bottle. He opened the cap and poured something into the hole. It was a golden powder.
This was a really precious item and when one sucked it into their body, it would make one energized and also strengthen one’s meridians and physique.
The only negative was that one would be very addicted to it.
“Comfortable.” Zhao Bufan took in a deep breath and his face was one of pleasure. It would be better if there was a beautiful girl beside ma.s.saging his leg. However, he was outside and he didn’t like to bring other people. When he reached the next city, he would find some beautiful girls to accompany him to pa.s.s these boring times.
He picked up a teacup and when he was prepared to drink, the carriage stopped and the tea splashed on his body.
“What happened?’ Young Master Zhao opened the curtains and asked in fury.
He couldn’t even ride a horse, so what else could he do. It really infuriated him.
“Young Master Zhao, someone blocked our way.” The big beard Qin Tai said warily.
“Eh?” Zhao Bufan looked out and noticed that three masked men waited there, their gazes were really unhappy.
“Young Master Zhao, let us deal with this.” Qin Tai said. Since he joined Young Master Zhao, then naturally he had to perform well.
They were all Initial Masters and felt that they were strong.
Zhao Bufan waved his hands impatiently, “Eh, quickly, don’t let any random people block my carriage.”
The moment he said this, Young Master Zhao pulled his head back in and continued to enjoy his celestial-like life.
Peng!
Peng!
Very quickly, intense shaking spread out from outside. The fighting sounds were really loud and there were very heavy blows. But to Zhao Bufan, he was satisfied.
These three newly recruited helpers were decent and he temporarily had some use for them.
However, they weren’t strong enough to bring back to the Zhao Family. But if they were loyal and made him happy, he didn’t mind developing them.
With Zhao Family’s ability, it wasn’t difficult to develop a Peak Master expert.
Very quickly, the movement outside stopped and everything became quiet.
“It ended?” Zhao Bufan laid there lazily. His eyes squinted and he would occasionally hear some movement, “Since it’s over, then let’s go.”
The curtain was pulled open.
Zhao Bufan turned his head but suddenly he saw a palm grab toward him. It grabbed his head and tossed him outside.
“Let go, you let go.” Young Master Zhao ragged. He was the Zhao Family Young Master, especially someone who could say such overbearing words like he would pay for everything, how could he suffer from such treatment?
With a loud “peng”.
Zhao Bufan fell to the ground, his dressing was in a mess and he stared at the masked man angrily, “Who are you? You are actually so bold. I am the Zhao Family Young Master, do you all want to die?”
He looked around. The three helpers were all smacked into a deep hole, their life and death were unknown but they were totally useless.
How did this happen?
Weren’t these people Master Realm Experts?
Even if they weren’t strong enough, they shouldn’t have lost so quickly.
He reported his background and he was sure many people were terrified by Zhao Family’s status.
They might even kneel down to lick his shoes.
“Young Master Zhao, I know you, your family has status. But I am a little poor and I hope you can help.” Lin Fan said.
Zhao Bufan was stunned. He came to his senses. They knew who he was and still dared to take the risk. That meant that he was already desperate.
“Actually, we can make a trade. I need talents, since you can defeat my guards, you all are strong. Why don’t you follow me, I can give you everything you want. Riches, woman, power, even top-secret techniques, I can get them for you. Why not?”
Lin Fan smiled, “I have treated you like this and you will still give me good things?”
“Hahaha.” Zhao Bufan laughed, “What is this even? What I want is loyalty. Even if you disrespect me, as long as you are loyal, then it is okay. You can consider it, I think you will choose the best choice.”
“Yes, I already have my choice.” Lin Fan said.
Zhao Bufan smiled, “Good, then I won’t worry about this matter, help me up… What are you doing?”
Zhao Bufan panicked.
What was he doing?
