Chapter 63: Chapter 63- Wife, why do you feel so cold?
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
His cousin returning made Lin Fan feel much more confident.
With a super helper here, he didn’t need to be afraid when he faced trouble. That a.s.sa.s.sin was still a problem. Even his cousin wasn’t his opponent. In the end, he had to rely on himself.
Or rather, he had to rely on the small support system.
Lin Fan and Liang Yichu didn’t have much of a practical conversation; they were just praising one another and talking about useless things.
He noticed that Liang Yichu’s facial color was not bad recently, much different from the first time they met.
His face was redder and more nourished.
This meant that he was having a better and better time in Liang Family, and might inherit the position of Family Head.
Having wine and having a good meal, time pa.s.sed really quickly.
“Brother Liang, let’s end here today. Let’s meet again when we have a chance.” Lin Fan cupped his fists. His intentions were really obvious that this bragging session had come to an end.
Liang Yichu smiled, “Okay. Brother Lin, take care.”
Within the restaurant.
“Mr. Zu, Young Master Lin is a good person, right?” Liang Yichu asked.
Zu Xiang blinked. How was he going to reply to that? Everything was just on the surface; the truth within was probably really terrifying.
Lin Family Manor.
When Lin Wanyi found out that Zhou Zhongmao returned, his expression changed.
Why did he come back so quickly?
Although the pirates on the side of Wei River were not much, they were still really cunning.
He knew that it wasn’t a problem for Zhongmao to wipe out the pirates, but this was just too quick! What happened? He was much quicker than the predicted time.
“Old Master, there’s no need to think about it. We have underestimated Zhou Zhongmao.” Old Wu consoled Old Master. Zhongmao was too strong, exceeding everyone’s expectations.
Or maybe the pirates were too dumb and careless, to directly fight against Zhongmao, resulting in their entire group collapsing.
Lin Wanyi shook his head.
He underestimated Zhongmao.
Zhongmao’s cultivation had reached the peak of Martial Path Grade Eight, and he would enter Grade Nine soon.
His cultivation speed was truly that of a genius, a true genius.
He had spent much effort to teach him these dozens of years, to help the Lin Family develop a true expert.
In the future, that unfilial kid would be able to have a good life.
“Father, I am back.” After Lin Fan returned, he saw his father and Old Wu talking beside the pond in the courtyard.
“Uncle, I have completed the mission and wiped out all pirates in the Wei River.” Zhou Zhongmao reported.
The pirates were just too weak, and only the leader had some ability. However, the gap was too much, and it wasn’t even a challenge.
“Very good. You have done well.” Lin Wanyi nodded his head in satisfaction. Zhou Zhongmao really did well.
However, he returned too quickly, totally different from what he had expected.
Why couldn’t he have stayed there for a longer time?
“Uncle, I have brought back their riches, four full boxes. Who knew that one small pirate group could be so rich? They must have robbed many s.h.i.+ps.” Zhou Zhongmao said.
Wei River was an important naval pa.s.sage, and many merchant s.h.i.+ps pa.s.sed it. Some s.h.i.+ps might not be able to afford experts to defend them. Thus they would be robbed.
Or maybe they had experts. When the pirates probed and realised that they were too weak, they would then retreat.
Wei River, which was close to You City, was controlled by the Yuan and Liang Families. As there were no benefits to gain, they didn’t bother with them and allowed the pirates to do whatever they wanted.
“Father, I will bring Cousin back to rest.” Lin Fan said.
His little support system was problematic.
He had to be proactive, or else he wouldn’t be able to gain rage points.
During this period of time, he was really low profile as his cousin wasn’t at home. Thus he didn’t cause much trouble. Now that his cousin was back, who would he be afraid of?
Lin Wanyi opened his mouth, “During this period of time, don’t go out.”
“Why?” Lin Fan was stunned, “Father, I didn’t cause any problems. Today, I even went to visit the Liang Family Third Brother.
We have resolved everything.”
Rage Points +66.
“I told you not to go out, so don’t. Why talk so much nonsense?” Lin Wanyi hollered furiously.
“Okay, you are my father, and I am the son. I will listen to you.” Lin Fan didn’t want to say much more. He was restricting his freedom now, how terrifying.
Of course, he just casually said that.
It was nearly impossible to control his freedom.
That was impossible.
He would rather die than not have freedom.
He brought his cousin towards the back courtyard.
“Old Wu, follow him for this period of time.” Lin Wanyi said with a heavy tone.
How would he, as a father, not know how his son acted.
He was just lying.
He would probably head out the next day.
“Yes, Old Master.” Old Wu replied.
At night, the sky was dark.
The w.a.n.g Family Village was bustling. Someone married, so the villagers all got to work to hold a simple wedding.
The wedding ended.
w.a.n.g Dahe strolled back home, humming as he walked.
“Yi, why did she sleep so early?”
He was filled with doubt, but he didn’t bother with it.
Everyone went to the wedding, and his wife came back after eating. Only he remained there to drink to the end.
He stood in front of his door, and a cold wind blew.
With a creak, he pushed open the wooden door.
The house was dark, and the candles weren’t even lit.
w.a.n.g Dahe shook his head and mumbled, “You are too much. I haven’t even returned, yet you extinguished the candles.”
He stumbled around to the bed. His wife was sleeping there.
“Wife, are you asleep?” w.a.n.g Dahe asked softly.
There was no reaction.
w.a.n.g Dahe reached his hand in and slid to her waist.
Instantly, he retracted his hand. So cold, like he touched ice.
“Wife, why is your body so cold? Did you catch a cold when showering?”
w.a.n.g Dahe got up and wanted to flip her over to see what was going on. If she was sick, then he had to cure her.
When he saw her face, everything turned to darkness.
Morning.
“Ah!”
A terrified shout broke the silence.
Many villagers rushed over.
“Dahe and his wife died!” A middle-aged man said paralysed on the ground. His face was filled with panic as he pointed at the house.
Lin Family Manor.
Lin Fan got up, and it was the beginning of a new day.
What was he going to do today?
He had no idea.
His relations.h.i.+p with Liang Yongqi was slowly getting better. Yesterday, he sent gifts and if he went to beat him up today, that was a little bad.
“Young Master, something happened in w.a.n.g Family Village. Someone died.” Gou’zi carried a face was.h.i.+ng basin and walked in.
Lin Fan was curious, “Someone died?”
He hadn’t seen anyone dying during his time here. To him, this death was a huge matter.
“En, someone died. I don’t know the cause. Two people died, and they were a couple. They were found this morning, and it was said that they died terribly. Rumors are that demons did it.” Gou’zi mentioned the gossip he heard.
Lin Fan washed his face as his curiosity grew. They died terribly?
How bad was it?
As for having something to do with demons, it was a little too much.
However, he couldn’t ensure that it didn’t happen.
“Let’s go. Call my cousin, and we will head to w.a.n.g Family Village. No matter what, they are under us.” Lin Fan said.
He was responsible for them, so he had to do so.
