Chapter 474
"Elder Shi, don't worry. With Brother Lin Fan here, it's not Uncle Baiyue's turn to be arrogant!"
Zhao Zhao Linger smiled at Shi Shi Gonghu, who had rushed to her in a panic, and comforted him softly.
"You'd better worry about yourself. I'm afraid you won't even be able to withstand the aftermath if the bad guy and that Uncle Baiyue start fighting!"
Lin Fan had a bad attitude toward Shi Shi Gonghu, so Lin Yueru didn't have a good tone for him either.
"Although the demon Uncle Baiyue is inhuman, his cultivation is truly unfathomable. My death is not worth mentioning, but the Princess is of golden body and must not take risks. It's better to avoid his edge with me!"
Although Shi Shi Gonghu knew Lin Fan's cultivation was high, it was still unknown whether he was Uncle Baiyue's match. It was better not to take risks.
"Big Stone Drum, stop talking nonsense and don't disturb our meal!"
Huang Anu rolled her eyes at Shi Shi Gonghu and began to eat heartily. Although she didn't want to see Lin Fan and Uncle Baiyue fight, that was a matter for later; filling her stomach was more important now.
"Sigh, since the Princess is unwilling to leave, this old minister will protect her with my life. Let's fight the demon Uncle Baiyue!"
Zhao Zhao Linger was unwilling to leave, and Shi Shi Gonghu had no choice but to prepare to die before her, ready to sacrifice himself in the line of duty.
Lin Fan couldn't be bothered to explain to Shi Shi Gonghu. Summer insects cannot talk about ice, and frogs in a well cannot talk about the sea; his strength was not something Shi Shi Gonghu could understand.
After everyone finished eating, Uncle Baiyue still hadn't arrived. Everyone looked at Lin Fan curiously, wanting to know if Uncle Baiyue was still coming.
"This guy loves pageantry. He travels like an Emperor. He clearly has a flying spiritual throne, yet he insists on having an honor guard and dozens of followers surrounding him. He really is sick!"
Lin Fan was also a bit helpless. The 'King of Pretending' Uncle Baiyue was truly terrifying; he was so damn slow.
"Forget it. If the mountain won't come to me, I will go to the mountain!"
Lin Fan left a silver ingot on the table, waved his hand, and the women flew out with him.
"Oh no, the Imperial Son-in-Law is taking the initiative to find Uncle Baiyue. Chase them!"
Shi Shi Gonghu was stunned for a moment before reacting, then hurriedly took Tang Yu and the others to chase after them.
When Lin Fan flew with the women to the wilderness outside the city, Uncle Baiyue's honor guard had just arrived, and the two sides faced each other.
"Uncle Uncle Baiyue!"
Huang Anu, who hadn't landed yet, couldn't help but shout loudly when she saw Uncle Baiyue sitting on his floating throne.
"You've come?"
Uncle Baiyue smiled and nodded at Huang Anu, then spoke to Lin Fan.
"You were too slow, so I came!"
Lin Fan and the women landed opposite Uncle Baiyue and looked at him calmly.
"You were the one who was impatient. You were supposed to head to Nanzhao step by step, but now you are standing before me."
Uncle Baiyue stroked the gems on the armrest of his throne. The throne left the honor guard and arrived above Lin Fan and the others, looking down at them.
"Wrong. I never intended to walk to Nanzhao. I was waiting for fate to begin arranging the future, and then I would change fate with my own hands."
"You don't believe in fate?"
"I don't believe in fate, and neither do you. You don't even believe in everything in this world; you even spent ten years personally measuring the earth."
"Then do you believe that the earth is round and we live on a sphere?"
Uncle Baiyue didn't expect Lin Fan to know that he had spent ten years measuring the earth beneath his feet, so he believed Lin Fan must be learned and capable of understanding his discoveries.
"I not only know the earth is round, but I also know the sphere we live on is called Earth. I know day and night are because of Earth's rotation, and tides are because of the gravitational pull of the sun and moon. What about you? Do you know what gravity, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force are?"
Lin Fan laughed. Uncle Baiyue was still showing off his little discoveries in front of him. Did he really think his physics and geography knowledge was learned in vain? Today, he would let this bumpkin know what a dimensional strike from over a thousand years later was.
"I didn't expect you to be so learned, completely different from those ignorant people. I think we could become very good friends."
Uncle Baiyue was indeed stumped by Lin Fan's questions, but he didn't care. He considered himself to know a lot, but even more that he didn't know, so he always maintained the heart of an apprentice, humbly accepting various knowledge.
"No. You could have been a great scientist, but you chose to be a philosopher, exploring whether love exists, and harmed countless people for your own selfishness. Of course, I don't care about the lives of those people, but you shouldn't have killed Qing'er. So, we are destined to be enemies!"
Lin Fan stepped into the air, step by step, to communicate face-to-face with Uncle Baiyue.
"What a pity. I thought you, being learned, could understand my grand ambition. I didn't expect you to be unable to escape the worldly emotions and grievances. It really disappoints me!"
Uncle Baiyue shook his head with regret and stood up slowly. The throne beneath him turned into a black shadow and disappeared into his sleeve.
When meeting a soulmate, a thousand cups of wine are not enough; when words don't agree, half a sentence is too much. Both knew it was impossible to be friends and were destined to be enemies.
"Demon Uncle Baiyue, you dare to harm the Princess! This old man will kill you with my own hands!"
Shi Shi Gonghu's voice arrived before he did. Uncle Baiyue's expression changed slightly upon hearing it.
"Listen, is this what a father should say to his child?"
"Shut up! You are not my child. I don't have a child as insane and evil as you. I truly regret not killing you back then!"
Shi Shi Gonghu arrived and happened to hear Uncle Baiyue's words, immediately retorting with fury.
"You want to kill me?"
"A father should love and protect his child without reservation."
Uncle Baiyue's heart had been trapped on the day Shi Shi Gonghu tried to kill him, unable to let go for a long time.
"I ask myself, I have a clear conscience toward you. I have nothing to say."
A flash of regret and sadness crossed Shi Shi Gonghu's face, but it was fleeting. He answered Uncle Baiyue coldly.
"Foster Father, are you really not sad? You killed your child with your own hands. In my heart, I have never been able to forget it; my heart is in great pain. Even now, you still want to kill me. Are you really not sad?"
Uncle Baiyue shed tears. To this day, his foster father still wanted to kill him instead of guiding, enlightening, or directing him.
"Enough! You two father and son—one is a 'tsundere' who has love in his heart but is too proud to say it, and the other is a 'yandere' who wants to destroy the world because he didn't get love. You bitches are just being dramatic!"
Lin Fan coldly interrupted the conversation between Shi Shi Gonghu and Uncle Baiyue.
This was the downside of men raising children. When a father is not good at expressing himself and there is no mother as a mediator, the child easily goes to extremes.
But what's done is done, and it's too late for sentimentality now. Since Uncle Baiyue killed Qing'er, he must die, regardless of whether he became a pervert because he lacked love as a child!
