Chapter 20: Beggar Sect Comes to Seek Justice

Lv He knew her Young Master's character; collecting spoils was essential.

But that guest Yang Guo didn't look like such a careful person, so Lv He arranged the manpower to collect the spoils herself.

While collecting the spoils, someone was tempted to take advantage of the fire, but had their legs broken by Huang Rong, who came to watch the excitement, and was hung up.

These things belong to Lin Fan, she must watch them for him, and no one should think about taking even a fraction.

Soon, the savings of the Green Bamboo Gang were emptied by the people of the Lin Fu, and Lv He brought people back to the Lin Fu.

When he heard that someone wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob the wealth of the Green Bamboo Gang, Lin Fan frowned.

"Young Master, it's all my fault, please punish Lv He!"

Seeing Lin Fan frown, Lv He hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"It has nothing to do with you, I just feel that the strength of the Lin Fu servants is still a bit low!"

The Lin Fu has him, the Landlord, and the Landlady. The high-end strength is enough; three Grandmaster experts are enough to run rampant in Suzhou City. But the lower level has a serious gap; there is only one third-rate martial artist guest, and Lv He, who is a third-rate martial artist. The others only know some rough fists and kicks, not even third-rate.

But there is no way. Before, the Lin family was just a merchant family, not a Wu Lin family. Where would they get experts? They could only pin their hopes on the diary system.

"Young Master, it's already very good now. With you sitting in the Lin Fu, who would dare to provoke us!" Lv He hurriedly comforted Lin Fan.

Lv He doesn't know yet that Lin Fan has planned to roam the Wu Lin not long after, so improving the strength of the Lin Fu is essential. After all, he can't rely on the Landlord and Landlady for everything, right?

"Lin Fu head, come out and see!" Someone shouted loudly outside, resounding through the sky under the spread of internal energy.

"Ho, a big guy has come!" Lin Fan took the girls and walked toward the outside of the manor.

By the time Lin Fan arrived at the main gate of the Lin Fu, the street outside was already crowded with people. They were all attracted by the loud shout.

Lin Fan didn't care about these melon-eating masses but looked at a group of beggars. The fat man in the lead was the one who shouted just now.

However, he looked to be forty or fifty years old, and this figure didn't look like Huang Qiao Feng at all.

"Who is making a loud noise at the gate of the Lin Fu?" Lv He looked cold and questioned loudly.

"I am Shi Shi Huolong, the leader of the Jiangnan branch of the Beggar Sect, here to see the head of the Lin Fu!"

"I am the Lin family young master, Lin Fan. Are you looking for me because of the Green Bamboo Gang?"

Lin Fan walked out. He thought it was someone else; it turned out to be Shi Shi Huolong, the Beggar Sect leader in 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'.

In the original work, Shi Shi Huolong only practiced the first twelve palms of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and his body was paralyzed from practice. He lived in seclusion in the deep mountains with his wife and daughter, but was killed by the sect elder Chen Chen Youliang and Cheng Kun colluding inside and outside, and they found a substitute to impersonate him.

Now it seems he hasn't practiced himself into a cripple yet. But in this comprehensive Wu Lin world, everything is possible.

"That's right. The Green Bamboo Gang young gang leader Huang Huang Qiao is the disciple of our Beggar Sect elder Chen Chen Youliang. He left Suzhou City for something, and before leaving, he entrusted Huang Huang Qiao to me. I didn't expect the entire Green Bamboo Gang to be wiped out by the Lin Fu today. I have failed Chen Elder's trust. You must give me an explanation!" Shi Shi Huolong really came out for the Green Bamboo Gang.

But it's quite ironic. In the original work, Shi Shi Huolong was killed by Chen Chen Youliang colluding with Cheng Kun, but today he is asking Lin Fan for an explanation for Chen Chen Youliang's disciple.

"The Green Bamboo Gang forcibly seized my Lin family's restaurant a year ago. Why didn't you come to give my Lin family an explanation then? Only allowed your Beggar Sect disciples to take advantage? Not allowed to suffer losses?"

Lin Fan looked at Shi Shi Huolong with a smile, the irony in his words was obvious.

"Even so, at most you could just ask for the restaurant back, why kill them all?"

Shi Shi Huolong was a bit at a loss, but now there were people watching the excitement all around, and he couldn't just leave like that.

"There is always a price to pay for doing wrong things. Today, I have the strength, so you let me ask for the restaurant back. If I didn't have the strength, would you advise me to forget it?"

"Regardless, it is a fact that your Lin Fu killed my Beggar Sect disciples. We have to have a fight!"

Shi Shi Huolong knew he was in the wrong, but the face of the Beggar Sect could not be lost, so he could only compete with the people of the Lin Fu to regain his face.

"Perfect, I also wish to experience the Beggar Sect's Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms. I wonder how well you have learned them, and how much of Huang Qiao Feng's strength you possess?"

"I am naturally far inferior to Sect Leader Huang Qiao, but I can still satisfy your wish and let you witness the peerless arts of my Beggar Sect!"

Shi Shi Huolong unleashed a move, "Dragon Repentant," accompanied by the sound of a dragon's roar, and attacked Lin Fan.

Interesting. The attack even comes with special effects. I wonder if Huang Qiao Feng comes with a built-in sound system.

Lin Fan drew his jade flute and met the attack with the Jade Flute Sword Art.

Unfortunately, Shi Shi Huolong only possessed the strength of the Innate realm, and the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms he displayed had the form but lacked the spirit, failing completely to pique Lin Fan's interest.

After a few exchanges, Lin Fan felt bored and defeated Shi Shi Huolong with a casual strike of "Xiao Shi Riding the Dragon."

It seems that if I want to experience the true power of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, I will have to look to Guo Jing, Hong Hong Qigong, and Huang Qiao Feng.

"You haven't even mastered these Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms; you've only learned the first twelve. Moreover, your aptitude is dull, and you've reduced this Beggar Sect peerless art to nothing but an empty shell. It really wasn't satisfying at all!" Lin Fan couldn't help but mock Shi Shi Huolong.

Shi Shi Huolong's face turned as black as ink. Being defeated by a young man like Lin Fan was already humiliating enough, but now being mocked for not mastering his own martial arts was truly a case of killing the heart after killing the body.

I'm sorry my aptitude is dull; I wish I were gifted too, but this is something you're born with. Besides, being able to learn twelve moves is already quite an achievement—the other elders of the Beggar Sect have learned at most five or six. Still, having lost the fight, he had no face to argue.

"I have lost. My skills are not yet mastered. Today's affair was my fault; I apologize for the disturbance!"

Shi Shi Huolong left with the Beggar Sect disciples, and Lin Fan shook his head before taking the young ladies back home.

Only then did the onlookers begin to discuss the event. They were astonished that even a Beggar Sect rudder master was no match for the Young Master of the Lin family.

"The Young Master of the Lin family must be an Innate expert, right? It really is infuriating to compare people; I was only a second-rate martial artist at his age!"

"Are you here to show off? I was only a third-rate martial artist at that age."

"I'm not even ranked."

"Wait, why are you all starting to compete over who has it worse? Shouldn't we be thinking of ways to join the Lin Fu as guest retainers?"

"May I ask what your strength is?"

"I am already a late-stage third-rate martial artist. In the past, the Lin Fu only required third-rate martial artists to be retainers!" the man said with a hint of smugness.

"You also know that was in the past. Now that Young Master Lin is an Innate martial artist, you third-rate martial artists should step aside. I am second-rate; I'll go first!"

Seeing Lin Fan easily defeat the Innate expert Shi Shi Huolong, the onlookers all wanted to join the Lin Fu, hoping to receive Lin Fan's guidance. ===== CHAPTER 35 =====
