Chapter 229 A Troublesome Romance?
"Isn't this Lin Fan?"
A beautiful woman walked over and leaned against the table, fiddling with her earrings as she looked at Gu Xinyan: "Are you Su Ruowei?"
The woman was Cheng Li from the Hua Yun Sect. She was having dinner with her new lover when she inadvertently discovered that Lin Fan was also there.
Cheng Li only knew that the newcomer of the Huayun Sect who had reached the third level of body refinement was named Lin Fan, but she didn't know if he was the same Lin Fan from the Su family.
Driven by curiosity, she came to inquire about Lin Fan's identity. If he really was that useless son-in-law, then there would be plenty of gossip in the Hua Yun Sect.
A useless son-in-law dares to act so arrogantly in the sect, boasting that Fang Yixiao personally called him, yet he doesn't dare to make a pledge, using the method of ignoring her to save face.
Cheng Li knew that if Lin Fan had the identity of the Su family's useless son-in-law, there would be many more people in the Hua Yun Sect who would want to beat him up.
The gigolo married the most beautiful woman in the city and moved into the Lingjueding Villa, which made many people envious.
Gu Xinyan shook her head, sizing up Cheng Li while wondering about her identity.
This person is far less attractive than Ruowei, so I don't think he'll be a bad match.
Seeing Gu Xinyan shake her head, Cheng Li looked at Su Ruowei and asked, "Are you Su Ruowei?"
Su Ruowei looked at Cheng Li with a puzzled expression: "I am Su Ruowei, may I ask who you are?"
Cheng Li curled her lips into a disdainful smile and glanced at Lin Fan: "So it really is that good-for-nothing Lin Fan from the Su family."
"Did you misunderstand something?"
Su Ruowei smiled awkwardly, then looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Honey, do you know this person?"
She was worried that it might be another troublemaker. She had encountered a fat man who inexplicably caused trouble at a restaurant before, and it was only thanks to Liu Zhengwei's presence at the restaurant that the problem was resolved.
Lin Fan glanced at Cheng Li out of the corner of his eye: "I think I vaguely remember her. I should have seen her at the sect before."
"Oh right, Ruowei, I haven't told you yet, I joined the sect a few days ago, so I'm considered a newcomer now."
Su Ruowei and Gu Xinyan looked at Lin Fan at the same time, asking in unison with curiosity, "Which sect?"
Because Gu Xinyan was fond of martial arts, Su Ruowei also followed along and studied the sects for a while, but only at the level of an outsider watching the spectacle.
Gu Xinyan had a deeper understanding of the sect and possessed firsthand information about it, but she was unaware of the sect's internal regulations and some unspoken rules.
The two also frequently went to watch their sect's competitive matches together.
The two were very familiar with the four major sects of Shancheng City.
Lin Fan calmly replied, "Hua Yun Sect."
Su Ruowei looked at Lin Fan and nodded gently, her eyes filled with admiration.
"One of the four major sects!" Gu Xinyan was so excited that she briefly forgot Lin Fan's identity.
Gu Xinyan continued excitedly, "Take me to Tingyun Manor sometime! I can't go there by myself, but sect disciples can bring their friends in!"
"no problem."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the decoration style of this Drunken Immortal Pavilion is somewhat similar to that of Tingyun Manor."
Hearing Lin Fan and his group's conversation, Cheng Li couldn't help but scoff: "Birds of a feather flock together. A good-for-nothing like a bumpkin is indeed a perfect match!"
"Who are you calling a bumpkin!" Gu Xinyan looked up and questioned Cheng Li.
"I'm telling you, you're a bumpkin!"
Cheng Li smiled and said, "Don't try that on me. You think you can play word games with me?"
Gu Xinyan pursed her lips and frowned; it was rare to find someone she couldn't argue with.
Lin Fan activated his Heavenly Eye, slowly raised his head, and coldly said, "I advise you to get lost and not ask for trouble!"
"Humph--"
Cheng Li snorted disdainfully, and as she was about to look at Lin Fan to continue her mockery, she met Lin Fan's gaze.
Suddenly, Cheng Li felt a chill erupt from the bottom of her heart, followed by an oppressive force like Mount Tai pressing down on her.
With a thud, Cheng Li knelt down on the ground, supporting herself with her hands, and began to dry heave.
She had a splitting headache and her stomach was churning.
"You!" Cheng Li raised her hand with difficulty, wanting to ask Lin Fan a question, but the next second she was hit with a ringing in her ears.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Li felt herself being swallowed by darkness and plunged into endless fear.
He could not hear, could not see, could not speak, could not smell, and could not touch; all five senses were deprived.
"What happened to her?" Su Ruowei looked at Cheng Li on the ground in surprise.
Gu Xinyan was also terrified: "Could it be that he's having another episode and trying to scam us?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's low blood sugar?" Lin Fan laughed.
Lin Fan was naturally aware of Cheng Li's situation; this was his punishment for Cheng Li.
This oppressive aura came from Lin Fan's Heavenly Eye. The last time he used it was against Lin Qingshan at the Heavenly King Building, but Lin Qingshan went mad before he could 'enjoy' it.
The pressure of the Heavenly Eye can intimidate those who are weaker than oneself, and Lin Fan usually uses it for interrogation and forced confessions.
The closer their strength is, the less they are affected by the pressure. If they are only slightly inferior to Lin Fan, they will only feel a chill.
Unfortunately, Cheng Li was just too pathetic; a single glance was enough for her to feel the fear of death, accompanied by a strong physical reaction.
Gu Xinyan stood up and carefully observed Cheng Li: "Is her symptom morning sickness?"
She suddenly looked down at Lin Fan: "Lin Fan, did you glare at her just now? Do martial artists have the ability to make anyone pregnant just by glaring at them?"
"puff--"
Su Ruowei spat out the water she had just drunk, wiped her mouth, and coughed a few times: "Xinyan, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Gu Xinyan blushed and waved her hand, laughing, "I was just joking."
She whispered again, "I suspect she's faking an accident. If I make her laugh, maybe she'll give herself away—"
"If you really had that ability, would I need to worry about you?"
Su Ruowei turned her head away, not wanting to look Gu Xinyan in the eye.
A few minutes later, Cheng Li collapsed to the ground, covered in sweat.
"Are you alright?" Gu Xinyan asked in confusion.
"call--"
Cheng Li breathed a sigh of relief, still confused about what had just happened.
Lin Fan glanced at the ground and rubbed his temples. He hadn't expected that the pressure would have such a big impact on martial arts practitioners in the present world. He couldn't use it recklessly in the future.
Just then, Liu Linglong spotted Cheng Li lying on the ground from a distance and quickly ran over.
"Honey, are you alright? Why are you lying on the floor?"
As Liu Linglong helped Cheng Li up, he also saw Lin Fan.
Holy crap, what's Lin Fan doing here?
Cheng Li rubbed her forehead and looked back. She was secretly delighted to see Liu Linglong.
Liu Linglong is the young master of Linglong Group and the heir to the fifth largest enterprise in Shancheng Group. We'll have to rely on Liu Linglong to give Lin Fan a good beating to vent our anger.
"Darling, this guy bullied me, you have to stand up for me!" Cheng Li said sweetly as she pointed at Lin Fan.
Liu Linglong looked in the direction Cheng Li was pointing and couldn't help but shudder.
Oh no, I made a bad choice in making friends!
"Brother Fan, don't misunderstand. I've only known her for a few days, and we're not that close!" Liu Linglong said, letting go of her hand.
Without Liu Linglong's support, Cheng Li's legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground again.
