This time, the old master didn’t reveal a surprised or ugly expression.
Instead, the old master burst out laughing just like Lin Fan had done before.
The three masters looked at the old master as if they thought he had gone crazy and looked like they were wondering what they should be doing.
After laughing for a bit, the old master suddenly stopped laughing and looked at Lin Fan with sharp eyes as he said, “It seems like you’re under the wrong impression that our Lin Family is easy to bully. It seems like you think that just because you show a few strange abilities, we will bow down and let you finish us off. Do you really think that my Lin Family is a soft persimmon?”
Lin Fan looked at him with a smile on his face as he said, “Aren’t you?”
The old master gave a snort before saying, “I had wanted to end this peacefully since it was a special time for our Lin Family, but it seems like there’s no need for that anymore. Since you don’t want to settle this peacefully, it seems that we can only use force.”
With a snap of his finger, there were several passages that opened up in this room.
After those secret passages opened, there were cloaked figures that came into the room.
All of these cloaked figures had their weapons raised, as if they were prepared to attack at any moment.
The moment that they came in, they went to where the old master and the three masters were. They stood in front of the old master and the three masters, as if they were protecting them.
But of course, they would be doing that since they were the hidden guards of the Lin Family.
When the three masters saw them, they all let out sighs of relief before slowly regaining their composure.
During this confrontation with Lin Fan, they had been completely overwhelmed by not just his aura, but how he conducted himself. They had no idea just what this person was about, but he was completely different from anyone that they had met before.
That was how they had been completely swept into his pace and didn’t act like normal.
It was only the old master who still looked at Lin Fan with his sharp gaze and said, “Well? What do you plan on doing now?”
Lin Fan just had the same smile on his face as he looked at the hidden guards. Then he turned his gaze back to the old master and said with the same smile, “Is this supposed to scare me?”
The old master narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan before suddenly saying with a snort, “Acting tough. Let’s see how long you can keep this tough act going.”
Then with a wave of his hand, the old master said, “Take care of them. Get them out of my sight.”
At this, the cloaked figures started moving towards Lin Fan with their weapons raised.
Lin Fan didn’t panic at all when he saw these cloaked figures approach him, but it wasn’t the same for Lin Li Zi.
Speaking of Lin Li Zi, the moment that she saw these cloaked figures appear, she had actually pulled out her weapon and had stood in front of Lin Fan. With the way that she was standing in front of him, it was almost as if she wanted to protect him with her life.
It seemed that at this point, she had completely devoted herself to Lin Fan to the point where she could sacrifice her life without even being prompted.
Lin Fan had also noticed this out of the corner of his eyes and he was satisfied seeing this. Ths chapter is updatd by Novlꜰre.et
It seemed that he hadn’t raised Lin Li Zi in vain.
But of course, he wouldn’t let her sacrifice her life like this, especially since there was no need.
He really didn’t have anything to fear from these cloaked figures and he demonstrated that with his next move.
Lin Fan crossed his arms and said, “Are you sure that you want to do this? Do you want to spend the rest of your lives as this old fool’s puppets?”
The cloaked figures didn’t even seem to react when they heard this, but the old master revealed a faint smile as he said, “So now you know how to feel fear?” As he said this, he raised his hand and the cloaked figures suddenly stopped moving.
Once they stopped moving, the old master said, “Well, do you want to talk now? Or do you want to talk after I let my people deal with you.”
Lin Fan just ignored him and said to them, “As long as you let this old fool control you, you will never be able to amount to anything. Break free of his control and take the reins of your own life.”
The old master shook his head with a sigh when he saw this before waving his hand again and said, “It seems like there’s no getting through to you and I’ve lost my patience.”
The cloaked figures started moving forward once more after seeing the old master wave his hand.
It didn’t take long before they completely surrounded Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn’t show any signs of panic as he continued trying to convince them, but Lin Li Zi looked like she was about to fight to the death against them.
This time, the old master raised his hand again to stop the cloaked figures before saying to Lin Li Zi, “Child, you were fooled by him. You are still a member of our Lin Family. Just come forward and we’ll let you come back to our side without worrying about what happened in the past.”
Though it sounded like he really did care about Lin Li Zi, he just wanted to capture her so that he could find out more about this mysterious invader.
In truth, he didn’t care what would happen to Lin Li Zi and didn’t plan on helping her if she really did betray Lin Fan now.
However, Lin Li Zi would never be able to figure that out with how good the old master’s acting was.
It seemed like he really did care about Lin Li Zi.
The three masters reacted a bit slower since they didn’t understand what the old master was doing at first. But then they quickly figured it out and said, “Yes child, come back to our family. We’re your family, there’s nothing more important than that.”
However, there wasn’t a single second that Lin Li Zi faltered.
She might have faltered before, but after killing her own half brother and her father, there was no more hesitation in her actions.
Her heart was completely with Lin Fan, regardless of what happened.
Seeing that they weren’t able to convince her to betray Lin Fan, the old master waved his hand once more as he said, “Try to take her alive. As for the other one, there’s no need to care.”
Lin Fan was still trying to convince the cloaked figures to drop their weapons and change sides.
The old master once again shook his head and gave a sigh, as if he was watching something pathetic.
The old master and the three masters couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed seeing Lin Fan desperately trying to convince the cloaked figures to betray them. After all, just a moment ago, they had actually been afraid of this pathetic man.
They thought that he would be a threat to them, but it seemed like they had been worried for nothing.
The cloaked figures didn’t hesitate at all as they charged at Lin Fan from different directions.
lightsnοvεl It really seemed like their blades were about to cut Lin Fan into pieces…but before that happened…
Some of the cloaked figures suddenly changed the direction that they were facing. They turned to face the other cloaked figures that were beside them.
And without any hesitation, they brought their blades down at them.
If these cloaked figures weren’t the elite hidden guards of the Lin Family, they might not have been able to react in time. However, they were able to react and they were able to dodge out of the way, but they also dodged a bit too late.
Every single cloaked figure that dodged out of the way received injuries of varying degree from the cloaked figures that had turned traitor.
They immediately moved away from the cloaked figures that turned traitor while holding their wounds.
There was only silence that filled the air after this happened.
Lin Fan finally stopped talking and revealed a faint smile on his face as he looked at the old master.
When the old master saw Lin Fan staring at him, he opened and closed his mouth a few times, but no words came out in the end. It took him a while before he was finally able to say, “What did you do?”
Lin Fan gave a shrug like it wasn’t a big deal and calmly said with the same smile, “I just helped them see the light and realize that they are better off not listening to you.”
The chin of the old master dropped when he heard this as he turned to look at the cloaked figures that were standing around Lin Fan.
Slamming his fist down on the armrest of the chair, he roared at them, “What do you think you’re doing!”
However, there wasn’t a single cloaked figure that responded.
Well, there was a response, but it wasn’t the one that the old master wanted to see.
All of the cloaked figures raised their weapons to point at the old master which made his chin drop again.
