12: Section 12

Luo Feiyan was a bit confused but still unlocked her phone and handed it to Xiao Fan.

“One million yuan has been credited to your account,” a pleasant voice announced.

“You don’t have to work so hard anymore. It pains me to see you like that. From now on, I’ll take care of you. Be kinder to yourself.”

Xiao Fan reached out and gently stroked the young woman’s hair.

After Xiao Fan finished all this, just as he turned to leave,

the person behind him called out.

“Wait… wait…”

A slight smile played on Xiao Fan’s lips. Sometimes, sincerity was truly the ultimate weapon.

And just like that, he had her… Luo Feiyan watched the young man’s figure disappear through the doorway, her heart a mix of emotions.

She had painstakingly raised Lin Yan alone, and to consider his feelings, she had never found him a stepfather.

After all these years, she truly felt a bit tired. Sometimes, she really wished for a shoulder to lean on.

Perhaps he was a good choice, but could she really be worthy of him?

Luo Feiyan wasn’t very clear about Xiao Fan’s background, but thinking about how he went out with bodyguards,

and transferred a million yuan to her without batting an eye, Luo Feiyan felt as if she was so far away from him.

“Ding! Congratulations, Host, for changing the plot. Reward: 1000 villain points.”

Hearing the system’s notification, Xiao Fan, strolling down the street, was in a great mood.

As long as he accumulated eight thousand villain points, he could break through to the Grandmaster Realm.

The Grandmaster Realm was a qualitative change; the true qi in his body would evolve into astral qi, and its power would be incomparable.

While those in the Xiantian Realm could still be harmed by modern weapons, once one broke through to the Grandmaster Realm,

with the protective astral qi activated, even machine gun fire would not be a threat.

Only large-caliber sniper rifles or a large number of modern weapons would pose a threat to a Grandmaster Realm expert.

No matter how much the protagonist could challenge those above his level, he couldn’t possibly challenge a Grandmaster Realm expert from the Xiantian Realm, could he?

...Inside the internet cafe, Lin Yan couldn’t help but feel that something important was slipping away from him.

His mood once again became agitated and restless.

“Damn it, I’m not playing anymore!”

Seeing that he was losing this round again, Lin Yan slammed his keyboard and got up to leave, completely ignoring Fatty Wu who kept calling out to him from behind.

Fatty Wu’s expression turned ugly at this sight. He had always regarded Lin Yan as his big brother, and he didn’t expect Lin Yan to treat him like this, not giving him any face at all.

Perhaps Lin Yan had something going on.

Fatty Wu could only comfort himself in his heart.

Returning home from the internet cafe, Lin Yan felt the atmosphere at home was a bit cold.

Usually, when he came home, his mom would warmly greet him for dinner. What was wrong today?

Just as Lin Yan was wondering, Luo Feiyan walked out of a room holding a feather duster.

“Mom, are you cleaning the room?”

“Lin Yan, tell me honestly, did you go to the internet cafe today?!”

Luo Feiyan didn’t answer Lin Yan, but questioned him instead.

“This…”

Looking at Luo Feiyan’s stern gaze, Lin Yan could only nod.

“Kneel!”

Lin Yan fell to his knees with a thud.

Luo Feiyan took out the feather duster and whipped it across Lin Yan’s body.

Immediately, Lin Yan felt a stinging pain.

Luo Feiyan was hitting him with a feather duster; how dared he circulate his true qi to resist?

“Lin Yan, I’m very disappointed in you. I raised you from a young age, and what I didn’t expect was that today you would learn to lie to me.”

As she spoke, Luo Feiyan raised her hand and delivered several more hard strikes to Lin Yan’s back.

Lin Yan was also bewildered. How could anyone know he went to the internet cafe?

Could it be Fatty Wu tattled on him because he lost face?

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Yan felt it was indeed possible.

Because Fatty Wu had a good relationship with him and also had his home phone number.

Damn it, this fatty usually called him 'big brother' this and 'big brother' that, but he didn’t expect him to be so malicious!

Lin Yan seethed inwardly.

Seeing Lin Yan’s face turn dark, Luo Feiyan knew he still didn’t understand his mistake and said in disappointment:

“Go kneel before your father’s memorial tablet. You won’t eat until you realize your mistake.”

Chapter 11: Breaking Through to the Grandmaster Realm, Family Heirloom

“Mom, it’s just a small matter, isn’t it that serious?”

Hearing Luo Feiyan’s words, Lin Yan was somewhat displeased.

His life was destined to stand at the world’s pinnacle; did a father he had never met deserve him to kneel?

“Are you going or not! If not, then get out of my house!”

Seeing Luo Feiyan about to hit him again, Lin Yan quickly said, “I’ll go, I’ll go.”

With that, Lin Yan got up and went to the memorial tablet, reluctantly kneeling before it.

Looking at Lin Yan’s unwilling demeanor, Luo Feiyan walked into the room, disappointed.

After Lin Yan’s birth, his father, Lin Lang, wanting to earn money for milk powder, worked continuous overtime. In a dazed state, he was hit and killed by a large truck.

Now, Lin Yan’s current behavior truly saddened Luo Feiyan.

“Perhaps I really should consider my own matters…”

Luo Feiyan murmured, Xiao Fan’s image unconsciously flashing through her mind… “Ding! A rift has appeared in the relationship between the Child of Destiny, Lin Yan, and his subordinate. Reward: 2000 villain points to the Host.”

Huh?

Xiao Fan, who had just arrived at his doorstep, was a bit bewildered.

What on earth was this Lin Yan doing?

One moment hismentality (mental state) was exploding, the next he was falling out with his subordinate.

Are the current Children of Destiny self-conquering now?

However, this was just enough villain points to break through to the Grandmaster Realm.

“Oh my, oh my, where did my son go to have fun today? No wonder he’s coming home so late.”

As soon as Xiao Fan entered the door, Mu Yun teased him.

Xiao Fan had bought a long-sleeved shirt on his way back and put it on.

Although Mu Yun usually seemed a bit unconventional, she was truly very good to him.

He didn’t want Mu Yun to worry.

“Mom, if you keep this up, I’ll sue you for defamation.”

“You brat, before you say that, can you wipe off the lipstick stain at the corner of your mouth?”

Hearing Mu Yun’s words, Xiao Fan quickly ran into the bathroom, and looking in the mirror, he found his lips were bright red.

Xiao Fan quickly pulled out a wet wipe from nearby and wiped off the lipstick stain.

“I was wondering why those men on the street were giving me thumbs up earlier. I almost thought they wanted to force me into a male-on-male interaction.”

...“Son, how far have things progressed with that girl? Have you…?”

As she spoke, Mu Yun made a gesture with her hand, causing Xiao Taian, who was beside her, to cough repeatedly.

“Dad, are you alright? Want a cigarette?” Xiao Fan asked with concern.
