Chapter 36: Chapter 36- I want to prove myself

Drunk Fragrance Pavillion.
The maidservant carried a plate and walked over, “Young Master Lin, please enjoy.”
Eight Treasure Cake, Five Grain Porridge, Almond Tea.
Simple and casual.
Even so, such a breakfast wasn’t something that a commoner can enjoy.
The Eight Treasure Cake is made up of eight types of specially chosen ingredients. Among which was ginseng, which helped raise vitality.
“Just order whatever you want to eat.” Lin Fan said.
Zhou Zhongmao shook his head, “Cousin, I am not hungry at all.”
“Young Master, neither am I.”
The two of them felt helpless.
Eating depended on the time. Just two hours later, and it would be lunchtime.
Lin Fan didn’t say anything and started eating. The things in Drunk Fragrance Pavillion were indeed delicious, as expected from the largest restaurant in the city.
He thought back to that Feng Poliu and immediately took out the book he hid in his clothing.
“Cousin, be careful, some fake techniques cannot be cultivated. Otherwise, problems might occur.” Zhou Zhongmao reminded him. The dangers of fake techniques were huge.
In the past, there were people who obtained fake techniques and followed the writings on them to cultivate. In the end, they died.
There was no chance of survival for them at all.
To him, how could there be such foolish people in the world?
To exchange secret techniques for silver.
Especially such unique ones, that was much more amusing.
“Don’t worry, do you think your cousin is a fool?” Lin Fan opened the first page, reading while eating.
The words in it were really philosophical.
However, he was still able to read it.
Zhou Zhongmao looked towards his cousin warily. As long as there were signs of his cousin cultivating it, he would immediately stop him.
How could one cultivate a cultivation technique that had such an unknown background? They didn’t know if it was fake or not.
If one cultivated it, one might lose their life.
Very quick, Lin Fan finished reading the book. There was nothing attractive, just that the author bragged about the technique heavily.
There was a change in the small support system.
Bug Controlling Technique: Not yet learnt basics.
It was a real cultivation technique.
“Cousin, take a look, this cultivation technique seems to be real.” Lin Fan tossed it over.
Since the small support system recorded it, it meant that there was indeed such a cultivation technique.
It seemed like that fellow had a conscience and didn’t con him. The ten taels of silver were worth it.
He was praised and flattered by that person, and even obtained a cultivation technique.
The ten silver wasn’t a waste, and he had earned big.
Outside, Feng Poliu came out of the gambling den, running to many places to search for Lin Fan.
F***.
He actually took out the wrong one. Gambling had made his mind blurred; otherwise, how could such a thing occur?
That was his life.
He would rather die than lose that thing.
At this moment, he saw a person at the Drunk Fragrance Pavillion.
It was the Young Master Lin who had given him ten silver.
“I found him! I finally found him!”
Feng Poliu was delighted and instantly heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that he wouldn’t be able to find him and could only take a risk to head to the Lin Family. Now it seemed like there was a chance.
He quickened his footsteps and walked towards Lin Fan.
When he was near the Drunk Fragrance Pavillion.
Pa ta.
There were waves in the dustbin nearby, like something falling down.
Feng Poliu looked and noticed a book floating in the dirty water.
It looked familiar.
Like he had seen it somewhere before.
“What?” Feng Poliu’s pupils constricted. It was the Bug Controlling Technique, his livelihood. He didn’t care about how dirty it was and immediately grabbed it.
It was wet and smelly.
He flipped it open, and the contents within were what he wanted to see.
“I got it back. I finally got it back.”
He heaved a sigh of relief, what a fright.
If he couldn’t find it, he definitely wouldn’t leave You City. He had to find it before he left.
Now that he got it back, he was prepared to leave.
Suddenly, he stopped and stood beneath the Drunk Fragrance Pavillion.
His expression was one of disbelief as he muttered.
“What is the meaning of that?”
“What did he mean? To not care about my top-cla.s.s technique, to toss it aside like trash. No, I need to get an answer from him.”
Feng Poliu stepped into the Drunk Fragrance Pavillion.
He was a confrontational person.
In the building, Zhou Zhongmao didn’t bother about the book at all. When his cousin gave it to him, he just threw it away.
Fake.
It was fake.
Leaving it on his body would only cause problems.
Lin Fan didn’t care; it was okay that it was thrown away as long as his cousin was happy. Moreover, the Bug Controlling Technique name was not overbearing enough. Although the contents seemed strong, it really wasn’t interesting.
Ta ta!
Footsteps spread out from the stairs, and they were hurried ones.
“You can’t go up! Who are you?” The manager halted Feng Poliu. Feng Poliu’s dressing was ugly like a refugee’s, so how would the manager allow him to enter?
However, how would he be able to block him?
“What is this situation? I came to find a person, do you think I look like a beggar?” Feng Poliu was furious. Someone actually treated him as a beggar. If this were dozens of years ago, when he was angered, he would directly slap the person.
“What is going on?” Lin Fan looked out. It was really noisy, and that voice was a little familiar.
Very quickly, he saw that the manager was trying to pull someone away.
That person was like a dog, walking up without a care, no one was able to stop him.
“Brother, it is me! Tell this manager to stop pulling me! I came to find you!” Feng Poliu shouted.
He didn’t want to bully people who didn’t have strength.
Otherwise, he just had to wave his arm, and this manager would at least spit out blood from knocking into the wall.
“Manager, stop pulling. I know him.” Lin Fan said.
The manager released his hand, and his expression changed. He said politely, “So it is Young Master Lin’s friend. You should have said that. Please enter.”
“I said it. You just didn’t believe me.” Feng Poliu shook his head.
Lin Fan waved his hand, “Manager, head down. I don’t need you to be here.”
“Okay, Young Master Lin. Please enjoy your conversation. I will wait for you below.” The manager knew his place and left.
At this moment, Lin Fan felt that Feng Poliu was interesting and said, “You lost it all? So you want to promote more secret techniques to me?”
Zhou Zhongmao looked towards Feng Poliu angrily.
Why was this person so shameless to treat his cousin as a r.e.t.a.r.d?
Feng Poliu wasn’t angry, “Brother, what are you saying? How is that possible? What promote? Although I like to gamble, the secret technique matter was really because I felt close to you.”
“What a waste, I thought you were here to promote items. What matter do you have with me? Anyways I don’t have any more money.” Lin Fan said.
Feng Poliu gathered his words and said angrily, “Brother, I came just to ask why you threw my technique away and into the dustbin. This is an insult to the technique and also to me.”
“Scoff, what a fake. A fake technique, who do you want to harm?” Zhou Zhongmao scoffed coldly.
If not for his cousin being there, he would have attacked long ago.
“Fake?” Feng Poliu raised his voice, “You big head, are you blind or stupid to actually say that my technique is fake? Do you know how many people would want to rob it if it is placed outside?”
Zhou Zhongmao scoffed in disdain.
“Cousin, that technique is indeed real.” Lin Fan said.
“Listen up, listen to what your cousin said. It is real.” Feng Poliu pointed at Zhou Zhongmao and said in delight.
However, what Lin Fan said next made Feng Poliu so angry that he wanted to show his strength.
“It is just really boring.” Lin Fan said.
Feng Poliu was unhappy.
This technique was his life. For people to say that it was nothing and boring was a nail in his heart.
“Brother, your words are a little hurtful. You can insult me, but do not insult my technique.”
“This book is the only book! The only copy that has not been pa.s.sed down!”
“To tell the truth, I wanted to use another book to cheat you, but I took out the wrong one. I wanted to get the real one back, or else I wouldn’t have chased you here.”
“However, now that you looked down on my technique, I can’t take it anymore. Let’s go outside the city. I have to let you know how strong this technique is and what a good opportunity you have missed out.”
Feng Poliu couldn’t take it anymore.
Facing such an unknowledgeable person, he could only use such methods to prove himself.
