Chapter 9

Uncle Fu didn't say anything more after hearing this. He also knew that the government office wasn't clean, he just couldn't rest assured about Lin Fan.

What he didn't know was that Lin Fan obtained three rewards by writing a diary today, which was Lin Fan's greatest confidence.

That's right, Lin Fan was possessed by the European Emperor today and obtained three more rewards.

One is the Ten Thousand Poisons Immunity Pill. Walking in the Jianghu, it's not just about fighting and killing; many conspiracies and calculations are carried out through poisoning. With the Ten Thousand Poisons Immunity Pill, Lin Fan doesn't have to fear these, and after eating this elixir, even Lin Fan's blood can cure hundreds of poisons.

One is Chu Liuxiang's "Stepping on Snow Without a Trace." Lin Fan was worried about not having a lightness skill. In case Black Wind Fortress has someone with very good lightness skill, he would be out of reach.

With "Stepping on Snow Without a Trace," let's see who can escape from his hands.

It's a pity it wasn't obtained from a template; the system only helped him get started, but it's enough for now.

The last one is the sword technique Lin Fan most wanted to obtain. It's a pity it's only the Jade Flute Sword Technique, which can barely be counted as a secret classic and is far from reaching the level of a supreme technique. With the system's help, he also got started.

"Uncle Fu, go prepare a jade flute for me!"

"Alright, Young Master!"

Lin Fan was dressed in white, tied with a hairband, with a jade flute tucked at his waist. With sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, a tall posture, and a high-spirited look, he was a handsome young man.

Lv He, who was on the side, was already stunned. She felt that the Young Master was becoming better and better looking.

"Young Master, you are truly good-looking, definitely much better-looking than that Jade Lang Jiang Feng!"

"Little girl, men shouldn't be described as good-looking, but as handsome. And have you seen Jade Lang Jiang Feng? You say I'm better-looking than him?"

"Although Lv He hasn't seen Jiang Feng, Lv He doesn't care. The Young Master is the best-looking—oh no, the Young Master is the most handsome!"

Lv He insisted unexpectedly. It seems she is Lin Fan's little fan girl.

"Alright, rest assured and cultivate at home. Wait for me to come back!"

Lin Fan touched the little girl's head, flew onto the carriage, and then the coachman drove the carriage and set off.

Uncle Fu and Lv He watched Lin Fan's motorcade gradually disappear at the corner of the street.

"Why is the Lin family making such a big move? Five carriages, truly imposing!" A passerby asked curiously.

They were all businessmen who set up stalls at the entrance of the Lin mansion. The Lin family had never driven them away or bullied them, so many vendors gathered at the entrance of the Lin mansion.

"Don't you know? The Lin family's Master, Lin Hai, was killed by the Black Wind bandits, and even his body was detained. They also want Young Master Lin to take one hundred thousand taels of silver to redeem the body. Young Master Lin should be going to Black Wind Fortress!"

"Ah! This Young Master Lin is confused! Can bandits be trusted? Maybe he will lose both people and money!" Some clear-headed people suddenly said.

"There's no other way. After all, Master Lin's body is in their hands. Young Master Lin has no choice!"

"Master Lin was a good person, yet he met with disaster. Young Master Lin is only sixteen, yet he has to face these things. Truly, good people don't get good rewards!"

"Why didn't Young Master Lin report to the officials?"

"It's been three years. How many people have reported to the officials? But who has ever managed it? The government office here must be colluding with the bandits!"

"Shh, keep quiet. They are not good at managing bandits, but they are very fierce at managing us. Don't let them hear you!"

The whispers of the common people were heard by four people sitting and eating wontons. One of them was very angry when he heard this and just wanted to get up, but was pressed down by someone.

"Uncle, why didn't you let me ask clearly? The Suzhoucheng government office must have something fishy."

The person speaking had a pair of iron hands, and his temples were bulging high, looking like his internal energy had reached a state of perfection.

"Iron Hand, we have other important matters this time; we cannot startle the snake!"

The person who could be called Uncle by Iron Hand was naturally none other than Zhuge Zhengwo.

They came to Suzhoucheng this time to investigate a case of treason and selling out the country. In his view, the bandit matter was a small matter, and he couldn't lose the big because of the small.

"Wuqing, help me persuade Uncle. These bandits collude with the government and harm one side. How can we let them go!"

Wuqing, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had a complicated mood. She was also a person who possessed a diary.

Hearing the discussion of the common people, she realized that the handsome young man who had just left was Lin Fan.

Since that was the case, there was no need to worry. Lin Fan's diary wrote that he was already a late first-rate expert. Dealing with a few bandits should not be a problem.

"Our business is more important. And that Young Master Lin is hiding his strength; he is already a late first-rate expert. Black Wind Fortress has hit an iron plate this time. After today, there will be no Black Wind Fortress."

Wuqing ate a wonton and said lightly.

"Late first-rate, he's only sixteen, right? So powerful. How do you know? Oh, forgot you have mind-reading!"

Even Chasing Life was a bit surprised. A sixteen-year-old late first-rate expert is already considered a genius. The few of them are seven or eight years older than Lin Fan, yet they are only late Innate experts.

They are still receiving Zhuge Zhengwo's guidance. He is already a late Grandmaster and is about to break through to a Great Grandmaster.

Lin Fan, however, cultivates alone. It seems their talent is not as good as Lin Fan's.

Wuqing laughed to herself. She knew that Lin Fan was only an unranked martial artist before, and it was all because of the Duan Zhengchun template rewarded by the system that he soared into the sky.

Lin Fan also mentioned her before, saying that he loved her, Xiaolongnü, and Wang Yuyan the most because they were all played by the Fairy Sister.

Wuqing didn't know who the Fairy Sister was, but she thought she should be a beauty, otherwise she wouldn't be the favorite of Lin Fan, this lecher.

What Wuqing was curious about was whether the people Lin Fan mentioned looked very similar to her?

"Wuqing, do you have something on your mind?"

Zhuge Zhengwo's feeling was very keen and he discovered Wuqing's mood swings.

"Nothing, Uncle!"

"It's fine if there's nothing. Eat quickly. After eating, we have to do things!"

Wuqing didn't want to say, and Zhuge Zhengwo didn't ask much.

The four finished their wontons, left a tael of broken silver, and left.

"Master, that fool Lin Fan really set off with one hundred thousand taels of silver. He still doesn't know that he will have no return today!"

A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks hurried into the Zhang mansion and reported to the master of the Zhang mansion, Zhang Kuang.

"Good. When the news of Lin Fan's death comes, the Lin family will inevitably be in chaos. Plus, Lin Fan also withdrew one hundred thousand taels of silver, so the Lin family's cloth shop funds will be stretched. You must take the opportunity to take it down. As long as I take down the Lin family's cloth shop, I can go a step further and let this Suzhoucheng's three major cloth shops become four major cloth shops."

Suzhoucheng has three major cloth shops that are famous. The Lin family and the Zhang family cloth shops are both inferior to them, but Zhang Kuang is not reconciled. He wants to annex the Lin family, integrate his strength, and become the fourth major cloth shop.

So he bribed the Black Wind Fortress bandits to kill Lin Hai, and then let them force Lin Fan to withdraw one hundred thousand taels of silver to redeem the body with Lin Hai's body.

Then Black Wind Fortress will kill Lin Fan, and they can obtain one hundred thousand taels of silver, while he obtains the Lin family's cloth shop. This wave is a win-win!
