Chapter 16
Lin Fan didn't know about the harsh words put out by Suzhoucheng Prefect Cheng Yuanzhi, but Lin Fan didn't put this corrupt official in his eyes either.
It's really that the government office runners in Suzhoucheng are all trash. They are okay at bullying the common people, but they are timid when facing people in the martial arts world, typically bullying the soft and fearing the hard.
Lin Fan didn't put the government office in his eyes, but was counting the harvest. Killing and arson brings a golden belt—this saying is indeed true.
Originally, the Lin mansion could only take out one hundred thousand taels of silver without selling the cloth shop, but after destroying Black Wind Fortress and the Zhang mansion, Lin Fan obtained nearly two hundred thousand silver, ten thousand gold, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and precious medicinal materials were countless.
And there was a Qingping precious sword in the Zhang family's treasure room. I don't know why Zhang Kuang, who didn't understand martial arts, bought a precious sword and hung it at home.
It's a pity that although the Qingping sword is good, Lin Fan already has the Ziwei Soft Sword, so he rewarded it to Lv He.
"Young Master, is this sword called Qingping? It matches Lv He's name so well. Is it a name specially taken by the Young Master?"
Lv He held the Qingping sword and couldn't put it down. This precious sword was truly to her liking.
"Yes, I took it specially for you. Lv He and Qingping, how well they match!"
At this time, Lin Fan naturally wouldn't say the scene-spoiling words that this sword was originally called Qingping, but followed the little girl's words.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Lv He held the precious sword in her arms, her watery large eyes staring tightly at Lin Fan, and the admiration was about to overflow.
"Young Master, why don't, why don't you take Lv He!" Lv He's voice was like a mosquito.
"Lv He, you are still too young, it won't work now!" Lin Fan smiled bitterly. This ancient girl is too precocious.
"Who said that? Lv He is not small anymore!"
The little girl was unconvinced and puffed out her chest, which was just beginning to show, and said.
"Yes, you are not small anymore, but it won't work now!" Lin Fan could only comfort Lv He.
Fifteen years old, underage. In later generations, it would be three years starting, and the death penalty at the highest.
If his bad friends in modern times had this opportunity, they would definitely not let it go, but Lin Fan is a person who reads the Spring and Autumn Annals.
"Young Master, do you not like Lv He?"
The little girl was worried about gains and losses and suddenly asked with some depression.
"No, no, mainly because the Heavenly Gang Boy Art I learned requires that before the cultivation method is completed, I cannot break my body, otherwise my internal energy will be lost and my meridians will be broken!"
Lin Fan looked at the little girl who was about to cry and could only start the coaxing method, telling lies with his eyes open.
"Young Master, why do you learn a eunuch's cultivation method? The Lin family is still waiting for you to spread your branches and leaves! This broken martial art of yours, if it can't be completed, doesn't that mean you have to be a eunuch forever? What about the Lin family's succession?"
She originally thought it was good that the Young Master had such brilliant martial arts, but didn't expect there to be this side effect. She instantly felt bad.
"Cough, cough, I am talented and intelligent. This cultivation method will be completed in three to five years at most, you don't have to worry!"
Lin Fan smiled bitterly. This time he lifted a rock and hit his own foot.
"Three to five years is too long. Why don't you change to an internal energy cultivation method, Young Master? The Duan Family internal energy you taught me before is not bad. This way, you can finish the conversion in a year or so at most!"
The little girl was a bit stubborn and still wanted Lin Fan to start the succession early.
"The conversion period affects combat power, which is not a good thing. The Lin family now relies on me to support it, and there are people peeping at any time. If you don't have strength, you will be bullied. No need to talk about this!"
Lin Fan shook his head in distress. Why is this girl so relentless?
"Alright, Young Master, I will study martial arts well and strive to share your worries early!"
Lv He heard the Young Master say this and thought of Lin Fan carrying the hope of the Lin family, so she stopped persuading.
"Hmm, it's getting late, go back and rest!"
"Alright, Young Master, Lv He takes her leave!"
Lin Fan watched Lv He leave and then breathed a sigh of relief. It's not a good thing for a little girl to be too annoying.
"You actually didn't eat this little maid who threw herself into your arms, which makes me look at you with new eyes!"
A little beggar suddenly appeared on the wall of the Lin mansion and actually mocked Lin Fan.
"Oh? Late second-rate expert?"
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows. This little beggar's martial arts are good, and I don't know where he came from.
"Don't worry about what strength I have. I heard that the young master of the Lin family, a cloth merchant in Suzhoucheng, Lin Fan, is a lecher who is not picky about food. I didn't expect the rumors to be wrong!"
The person who came was naturally Huang Rong. After she ran out of Peach Blossom Island, she drifted everywhere. Recently, she happened to wander near Suzhoucheng. After reading Lin Fan's diary, she rushed to Suzhoucheng to see what kind of person Lin Fan was.
"Who leaked the news? No, who is slandering my reputation?"
Lin Fan gritted his teeth. Someone actually said he was a lecher. It's simply too bullying. This body is still a virgin!
"I don't know about that, anyway, the rumors are widespread in Suzhoucheng!"
Damn, Lin Fan was depressed. What is this called? Who is slandering me? Even if you say I kill people like hemp, it's better than saying I'm a lecher.
"No, you are lying to me. Who are you?"
Lin Fan saw the cunning smile on the little beggar's mouth and immediately realized it.
"Don't worry about whether I'm lying to you. Tell me, are you a big lecher yourself?" Huang Rong pointed at Lin Fan and said indignantly.
Although the rumors were made up by her, Lin Fan himself performed so lecherously in the diary, wishing he could take all the Jianghu female martial artists into his harem. This is not her wronging him.
Whether they were inexperienced or already married, Lin Fan wanted them. Isn't this a lecher who is not picky about food?
Especially Duan Zhengchun, who was the most unlucky. Not only were his internal energy cultivation methods all learned by Lin Fan, but even his women and daughters were targeted by Lin Fan.
"This statement is wrong. A gentleman likes beauty but is not lecherous, originates from emotion, stops at etiquette, does not forget the roots when receiving kindness, likes beauty but is not lecherous, is romantic but not dissolute, is passionate but not promiscuous!"
Lin Fan looked at the beggar's white-as-jade neck and green-onion-like fingers, and had some guesses in his heart.
"Sophistry!" Huang Rong clearly didn't believe Lin Fan's words.
"Why don't you come down and talk, girl? Why sit high on the wall?"
"You know I'm a girl? Ah, pah, who are you saying is a girl?"
Huang Rong was a bit panicked. Her disguise was seamless, so how did Lin Fan see through it?
"That's fine. But little brother, you said I was a lecher. This is slandering me. If you don't give me a reason, I can't let you go!"
Dressing as a man, and liking to pretend to be a beggar, and at this age, could it be Huang Rong?
If so, then he can't let her go. This little cook has come to the door, and if he doesn't take her, it's intolerable!
"What can you do to me? Lueluelue!"
Making a face at Lin Fan, Huang Rong pointed her foot and wanted to escape.
However, with a flash before her eyes, Lin Fan had already appeared in front of her.
"Ah!"
Huang Rong was startled, forgot to circulate her internal energy, and fell directly.
Just when she thought she was going to fall heavily, she was hugged by Lin Fan by the waist.
"Let go of me, lecher!"
Looking at each other, Huang Rong was attracted by a pair of eyes as deep as the starry sky, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
