44: Returning to the Lin family, a strong enemy is coming!
Lin Fan's Mental Energy far surpassed that of ordinary people, so even across a street, he could clearly hear what Xie Yingying was saying.
The burly young man squeezed Xie Yingying's prominent area hard and laughed, "What's the rush? I've already spoken to my father, and he has agreed to send people to Qingyang Town tomorrow."
Xie Yingying exclaimed in surprise, "That's great! Will Sect Leader Wei also go?"
"Exactly. After all, the value of a Yang Yuan Stone Mine is immeasurable!" The burly young man nodded, then a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"However, if I find out that you deliberately lied about a Yang Yuan Stone Mine for revenge, I will make your life a living hell!"
Xie Yingying immediately said, "Brother Wei, how dare I deceive you? Although the Lin Family tried their best to conceal the matter of the Yang Yuan Stone Mine, my father and Clan Leader Lei discovered it back then."
"Haha, that's good. Don't worry, I will avenge you. But for now, you should serve me well!"
After saying that, the burly young man pulled Xie Yingying and walked out of the shop, quickly leaving.
Lin Fan pondered for a moment, but did not rush to act.
It wouldn't be too late to round them all up once they were gathered!
Lin Fan wanted Lin Zhentian and the others to realize the consequences of not eradicating the roots!
At the same time, once Xie Yingying brought the enemies to their doorstep, Lin Fan would have ample reason to wipe out the entire Xie Family, leaving no one alive!
This would deter other forces in Qingyang Town!
After Xie Yingying and the other person left, Lin Fan took Qing Tan and walked into the shop where they had been earlier.
"Young Master, what would you like to buy?" The shop owner, seeing Lin Fan and Qing Tan arrive, quickly put on a smiling face and asked.
Lin Fan said, "I'd like to ask the owner about someone."
The owner's smile faded slightly upon hearing Lin Fan's words, but he didn't chase them away. "May I ask who the Young Master wishes to inquire about?"
Lin Fan smiled, "It's the man and woman who just left. The woman is a friend's fiancée, but she's with another man, so..."
Because of Lei Li, the Lin Family was able to obtain the Yang Yuan Stone Mine, so he was indeed a "good friend" of the Lin Family.
The owner shook his head, "I advise your friend to give up. That Young Master just now is Wei Hu, the Young Lord of the Bloodcloth Sect. Competing with Young Lord Wei for a woman, unless he wants to die!"
Bloodcloth Sect, huh? I didn't expect to run into them.
Hearing the name Bloodcloth Sect, Lin Fan couldn't help but think to himself.
"What are you gossiping about over there? Don't you want to continue living in Yan City?"
At this moment, an aggressive woman walked over, pulled the shop owner aside, and then said to Lin Fan and Qing Tan,
"Since you two aren't buying anything, please leave. If you want to die, don't drag our Family down with you."
"Sorry for the disturbance," Lin Fan apologized, casually tossing a yang yuan stones onto the counter, then pulled Qing Tan out of the shop.
【Ding! You touched Lin Qingtan and received one spirit concentration pill! Note: After consumption, it can both enhance Mental Energy and have a refining effect on Mental Energy.】
At this moment, the familiar voice of the System echoed in Lin Fan's mind again.
Lin Fan was overjoyed, and couldn't help but pause his steps.
"Brother Lin Fan, what's wrong?" Qing Tan asked curiously upon seeing his reaction.
"Nothing, let's go. We'll go back and find your Brother Lin Dong, then return to Qingyang Town together," Lin Fan shook his head slightly and said.
Qing Tan nodded, saying nothing.
Before long, the two returned to the inn and told Lin Dong about encountering Xie Yingying.
Upon learning that the Lin Family might face a powerful enemy, Lin Dong immediately became restless, "Brother Lin Fan, let's go back right away."
"Mhm, I had the same intention," Lin Fan nodded slightly, then said,
"I'll write a letter and have the innkeeper send it to the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings."
With that, Lin Fan directly took out paper and pen and began to write the letter.
After finishing the letter, Lin Fan found the innkeeper and asked him to send someone to deliver the letter to Chief Manager Xuan Su, Chief Manager of the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild.
Of course, a reward was certainly not to be missed.
In the letter, besides mentioning that his Family was facing an enemy and needed to return for rescue, Lin Fan also asked the other party to inform Master Yan about the matter.
Lin Fan did this, ostensibly to tell Xuan Su, Chief Manager and Master Yan the reason for their departure from Yan City, but in reality, it was also a precautionary measure, preparing a trump card for the Lin Family. After all, behind the Bloodcloth Sect, there was also the Blood Wolf Gang.
The Immortal Pool Competition was less than half a month away, and the Tower Duel was only a little over two months away.
With these two matters, the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild and Master Yan might take action, who knows.
Of course, it didn't matter if they didn't act.
Writing a letter, after all, didn't cost much effort.
After Lin Fan handed the letter to the innkeeper, he immediately took Qing Tan and Lin Dong, bought three fast horses, and galloped towards Qingyang Town.
It was almost noon when they set off, and by the time they returned to Tiemu Village, it was already evening.
The Lin Family's focus had now shifted to Tiemu Village, or rather, the Yang Yuan Stone Mine, so most of the main members of the Lin Family had moved to Tiemu Village to live.
"Faner, Dong'er, Qing Tan, you're back!"
Lin Xiao was very happy to see Lin Fan and the other two return.
Lin Fan and the others had been gone for two months. Although there had been correspondence in between, it was never as close as meeting in person.
"Third Uncle (Father)!"
Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and Qing Tan all greeted Lin Xiao.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
At this moment, two fiery red shadows rushed towards them.
It was Xiao Yan and Huo'er, whom they hadn't seen in two months.
Lin Fan sensed their strength and was somewhat surprised.
Xiao Yan and Huo'er had both already become as strong as Lesser Yuandan Realm masters!
Huo'er had refined a White Tiger Pill, gaining one-tenth of the White Tiger Bloodline within its body, so its progress was rapid.
Xiao Yan had previously consumed the Yao Beast core from the depths of the mine, so its growth had been very fast during this period. Its growth rate would only slow down after it had completely absorbed the energy from that Yao Beast core.
"Huo'er, Xiao Yan," Qing Tan affectionately stroked the two Fire Python Tigers, a happy smile on her face.
Lin Fan also casually stroked the two Fire Python Tigers.
【Ding! You touched the Fire Python Tiger Xiao Yan and received one sixth-grade Spirit Medicine, a demon blood vermillion fruit!】
When Lin Fan touched Xiao Yan, the System's reward sound appeared in his mind again, but he didn't get any reward from touching Huo'er.
Lin Fan temporarily ignored the reward matter and instead brought up Xie Yingying and the Bloodcloth Sect.
"Third Uncle, we've returned this time to warn the Family that powerful enemies are approaching, and we need to be prepared to face them."
Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. "What powerful enemies are you talking about?"
Lin Fan said, "Xie Yingying of the Xie Family, Third Uncle should have some impression of her, right?"
"I don't know how Xie Yingying hooked up with the Young Lord of the Bloodcloth Sect in Yan City, and she also told the Bloodcloth Sect about the Lin Family having a Yang Yuan Stone Mine."
"When Qing Tan and I were shopping today, we happened to run into Xie Yingying and them, and overheard the conversation between Xie Yingying and that Young Lord of the Bloodcloth Sect. The Bloodcloth Sect will be coming to the Lin Family tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao clenched his fists and regretfully exclaimed, "Damn it, if I had known, I would have eradicated the Xie Family back then, as you suggested!"
"Let's go find your grandfather and have him gather everyone in the Lin Family to prepare for battle!"
Lin Fan said, "Third Uncle, you just go find Grandfather. We traveled quickly and are a bit tired. We want to rest for a while and gather our spirits so we can deal with the big battle."
"Alright, you two go rest first," Lin Xiao didn't force them when he heard Lin Fan say that.
"Brother Lin Fan, is there something you want to tell me?" After Lin Xiao left, Lin Dong asked Lin Fan in a low voice.
