Chapter 237 Welcoming Master Lin
"Are we here to welcome some VIP?"
"Could there be an even more powerful company than the Shancheng Group coming here?"
"They might be even more powerful foreign guests than Jack Hill and the others!"
Gu Xinyan perked up upon hearing this; perhaps they were here to welcome Lin Fan!
A moment later, she lowered her head again. It shouldn't be!
After all, Lin Fan is so cautious, he probably wouldn't reveal his identity to others casually.
Moreover, with Old Master Fang making such a grand entrance to welcome a son-in-law, wouldn't that expose Lin Fan?
Fang Yixiao walked to the door and kept looking into the crowd.
He waited and waited for Lin Fan, but Lin Fan never came. He learned from the conversation of the guests inside that there was a long queue outside.
Fang Yixiao was unaware of Lin Fan's identity as the president of Shancheng Group.
All he knew was that Lin Fan was a martial arts supreme cultivator who had returned from the Nine Netherworlds.
"Old Fang is truly in excellent health and spirits; he's astounding!"
"Yes, he's over 400 years old. I wonder if he can live as long as Elder Fang if he continues to practice martial arts."
People around him flattered him from afar, standing on tiptoe to catch a glimpse of Fang Yixiao's face.
Su Ruowei and Gu Xinyan also jumped up and down excitedly.
Lin Fan, however, hunched over, his neck hunched and back bent, as if afraid that Fang Yixiao would see him.
"Has Master Lin arrived yet?" Fang Yixiao asked Lian Jiulong in a low voice.
"Are you talking about our benefactor?" Lian Jiulong scratched his head. "This disciple hasn't seen him yet."
"That's enough!" Fang Yixiao continued to look around at the crowd.
After failing to spot Lin Fan, they walked into the crowd.
"Excuse me, everyone, please make way."
Fang Yixiao kept searching for Lin Fan.
When everyone saw Fang Yixiao, they made way for him.
Not long after, Fang Yixiao finally saw Lin Fan and exclaimed with delight, "Oh my, what are you doing here!"
Lin Fan kept giving Fang Yixiao meaningful glances, signaling him not to say anything out of line.
Fang Yixiao just smiled and said, "Quickly, I'll take you inside!"
"Mr. Fang, what brings you here?"
"What the hell? He's just a live-in son-in-law!"
Those who had just mocked him were stunned, finding it hard to believe that Fang Yixiao had actually sought out Lin Fan.
Gu Xinyan seemed to be deep in thought, it seemed that Fang Yixiao knew that Lin Fan was the president of Shancheng Group.
Gu Xinyan looked at the horrified expressions on the faces of the people around her: "What about the person who was talking about live-streaming himself swallowing shit? Remember to tell me where you're live-streaming so I can tip you."
The person who had just mocked him was now speechless and automatically hid in the crowd.
Su Ruowei looked at Fang Yixiao with curiosity, not expecting that Lin Fan would give him such face after saving his apprentice.
It seems that Lian Jiulong is indeed Fang Yixiao's beloved disciple.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Lin Fan and his group followed Fang Yixiao to the entrance of Lingyunzhai.
"Our benefactor has arrived!" Lian Jiulong bowed deeply upon seeing Lin Fan.
Even the sect leader of Huayun Sect could only bow to Lian Jiulong, yet Lian Jiulong actually bowed to Lin Fan?
Lin Fan once again surprised everyone, and these sect disciples no longer dared to look down on him.
They want to kill anyone who says Lin Fan is a useless son-in-law.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lian Jiulong, Lin Fan followed Fang Yixiao toward Lingyun Pavilion.
Su Ruowei and Gu Xinyan followed silently behind.
Lin Fan quickly turned around and glanced at Su Ruowei and Gu Xinyan.
Seeing that they were some distance apart, Lin Fan quickly smiled and whispered to the other person:
"You're being too high-profile; people will get suspicious!"
What if it leads to someone investigating me?
"My family is in danger!"
Fang Yixiao looked at Lin Fan and said with a smile, "Master Lin, you're too—"
"Shh!" Lin Fan gestured for Fang Yixiao to speak quietly.
Fang Yixiao smiled helplessly and lowered his voice:
"You're being too cautious. This isn't the Nine Netherworld; there aren't that many conspiracies and schemes here!"
"And another thing! Not everyone has that kind of ability to investigate people whenever they want."
"Besides, what are you afraid of? Based on my investigation over the past 300 years, no one's martial arts skills have surpassed yours!"
Lin Fan frowned: "Actually, there's another reason—"
Lin Fan's caution stemmed not from his martial arts prowess, but from his status as the president of the Shancheng Group.
Acting discreetly is for the safety of family members, especially Su Ruowei.
"Too much caution!"
Fang Yixiao pointed to the Lingyao Sword on Lin Fan's wrist: "What are you worried about? The important thing is to investigate the Blood Thunder Curse!"
"Once I'm sent back to the Nine Netherworld, you can live your life however you like!"
Fang Yixiao thought to himself that he had told Lin Fan all the information, and even given him the Lingyao Sword.
But Lin Fan made no effort whatsoever to return to the Nine Netherworld.
We are still at a loss.
Lin Fan looked at Fang Yixiao thoughtfully, his mind filled with thoughts of the Yan Yang Sect and the Four Evils of Shancheng.
The four evils of the Yanyang Sect in Shancheng did indeed threaten the safety of my family.
But their strength is indeed not strong.
There is no doubt that martial arts practitioners can defeat ordinary people.
However, due to the suppression of the Blood Thunder Curse, martial artists in the modern world are no match for firearms in terms of physical strength.
Lin Fan hadn't asked Fang Yixiao about the Yan Yang Sect before because he had reservations about Fang Yixiao's identity.
He knew that Fang Yixiao was a good person back in the Nine Netherworlds, but after all, 400 years had passed, and he was still in the mortal world, a place of great corruption.
People can change!
Lin Fan was worried that Fang Yixiao might also have ulterior motives, so he still held back against him.
Previously, my conversations with Fang Yixiao were only about some basic common sense.
Most of the time, they asked Fang Yixiao questions.
But after going through so much, Lin Fan realized that Fang Yixiao was a good person.
Furthermore, martial arts cultivation in the modern world is nothing special.
Therefore, Lin Fan decided to stop hiding it from Fang Yixiao.
"I'll explain it to you in a bit," Lin Fan said softly.
Fang Yixiao was a little anxious: "Master Lin, are you doubting me?"
"If you doubt me, I'll cut off one of my fingers to prove my innocence!"
Lin Fan was startled and quickly waved his hand: "No—"
With a cracking sound, Fang Yixiao snapped off his left little finger.
"Is this okay?" Fang Yixiao asked Lin Fan calmly.
Lin Fan quickly stopped, took out silver needles from his pocket, and helped Fang Yixiao stop the bleeding.
At the same time, they quickly set the bone in Fang Yixiao's little finger.
Lin Fan carried silver needles with him just in case, but he never expected them to come in so useful.
In just a few seconds, Fang Yixiao's little finger went from being broken to having only superficial wounds.
"I didn't expect you to know medicine." Fang Yixiao said with some surprise.
Lin Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I've studied some medicine before, and luckily I also know some medical skills—"
Fang Yixiao continued walking with Lin Fan and said with a smile, "I admire the history of this world. Historical records state that during the Warring States period, there was a man named Fan Yuqi who cut off his own head to help Jing Ke."
"I only lost my little finger; I'm far inferior to Fan Yuqi in terms of skill."
"Besides, it was you who helped me."
Lin Fan waved his hand helplessly: "I believe you, don't be in such a hurry!"
After Fang Yixiao expressed his determination, Lin Fan trusted him even more.
Wait, there's someone behind us!
Lin Fan suddenly turned around and saw Su Ruowei and Gu Xinyan staring at him in shock.
Although they did not hear the entire conversation between Lin Fan and Fang Yixiao.
But Master Lin heard the first sentence very clearly.
Moreover, he personally witnessed Fang Yixiao's severed finger and Lin Fan reattaching it for him.
