The patterns on this blood talisman were drawn by those guys from the Blood Fiend Sect. They love making talismans that are nourished with their own blood essence.
"Die!"
With a gentle squeeze, Lin Fan crushed Han Feicheng's throat.
"Using blood essence to nourish talismans, the Han family is quite something, actually getting involved with the Blood Fiend Sect!"
He put away the talisman in his hand, looked at the people in the courtyard, withdrew his oppressive aura, and the Han family guards were sent flying out of the courtyard, all seriously injured.
"Are you alright?" He looked at the two courtesans, nodded secretly, and his eyes revealed a look of amazement. As expected of the top courtesans of Dream Immortal Pavilion, they were still peerless beauties even without cultivation.
"Thank you for your help, Immortal Master. However, Han Fei is the Qin family's nephew. Would killing him anger the Qin family?"
The two women bowed in greeting. The scene they had just witnessed had left them pale and somewhat uneasy and flustered.
They knew nothing about the immortal sects, only that the Qin family was a family of cultivators with terrifying strength, and the strongest family in Shanhai City.
"Do you know who has the highest and most prestigious status in Shanhai City right now?" Lin Fan asked calmly.
The two women exchanged a glance and whispered, "City Lord Qin Tiansheng?"
"Tch, a mere city lord, nothing to brag about. The highest-ranking one is that brooding jerk who fought alongside you the other day!" Lin Fan said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the two girls blushed deeply, their eyes filled with embarrassment.
Lin Fan was guarding outside the door that day, so he must have heard the commotion inside. He listened for several hours, making them wish they could disappear into a crack in the wall.
"So don't worry, if the Qin family finds out about this, Qin Tiansheng will have to kowtow to him a few times to apologize," Lin Fan said.
As the chief disciple of Tianjian Peak and the sect leader's personal disciple, with these two identities, as long as the sect leader hasn't explicitly dealt with him, Zhuge Jian is the person with the highest status in Shanhai City, and even the guarding elders have to give him some face.
"Arrange new accommodations for them!" He glanced at the manager of Mengxianlou, then left without dealing with Han Feicheng's body.
"I will obey Your Excellency's orders!"
The manager of Mengxianlou bowed respectfully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after Lin Fan left. At this time, his back was covered in cold sweat, and he cursed Han Feicheng in his heart for being an idiot.
This idiot, doesn't he know that the chief disciple of the Qingxiao Sect led the team to Shanhai City recently? It's the same time every year, but this time there are two oddballs, and Han Feicheng has just walked into the line of fire.
The Han family paid a hefty sum to hire a Golden Core Realm expert to endure excruciating pain and bring Han Feicheng's body back; that shows some professional ethics.
In the main courtyard of the Qin residence, Qin Tiansheng was sipping tea and chatting with Zhuge Jianwo. He kept looking at the youngest disciple of the Qingxiao Sect with great satisfaction.
Unfortunately, he didn't realize Lin Fan's good intentions sooner, and as a result, he was taken to a brothel the next day.
If he had realized his mistake that night and taken his daughter to betroth her to Zhuge Jianwo, she might have become the wife of the Qingxiao Sect leader in the future.
"Husband, something terrible has happened! Your nephew Han Feicheng has been murdered!" Han Qianling ran over crying and shouted loudly.
"What kind of behavior is it to cry and whine in front of such distinguished guests!" Qin Tiansheng said coldly with a serious expression.
"Since Lord Qin has important family matters to attend to, I will not disturb you any longer." Zhuge bowed and took his leave as I stood up.
"Hehe, I will definitely invite Chief Zhuge for drinks next time, and we'll drink to our hearts' content." Qin Tiansheng returned the greeting.
Seeing me leave with a faint smile, Zhuge saw Han Qianling, her face streaked with tears, reveal everything.
"Oh, such a trivial matter. Don't bring it up with me again. I don't have time for it." Qin Tiansheng said expressionlessly, Han Feicheng's death had no effect on him.
"Husband, he's my own nephew, Ling Shu's cousin!" Han Qianling said, her eyes red, looking at him in disbelief.
Normally, Han Fei could get whatever he wanted at the Qin residence, even better than his two daughters.
Qin Tiansheng also doted on him a lot and was never strict or harsh. Sometimes, when he did something wrong, Qin would even clean up his mess.
"So what do you want? To make the Qin family pay with their lives?" Qin Tiansheng said coldly.
If it weren't for the power of the Han family and for Han Qianling's sake, he would have crippled Han Feicheng long ago.
In recent years, Han Fei has acted recklessly in the Qin residence, showing a tendency to usurp the host's position, which is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.
“Husband, you are, after all, a steward of the Qingxiao Sect. As long as…” Han Qianling was about to continue speaking when she was interrupted.
"That's a woman's view. The position of steward is just a title given to us by the Qingxiao Sect to appease us. If they want to replace us, countless families will rush to pledge allegiance. They are all keeping a close eye on the Qin family, hoping that we will make a mistake so that they can take our place!" Qin Tiansheng said coldly.
If the Qingxiao Sect can support one Qin family, it can certainly support a second one. To go against the chief of Youzhu Peak for the sake of an outsider is simply insane.
"Are we really going to let Feicheng die in vain?" Han Qianling said, wiping away her tears.
"If you want to ruin Ling Shu's future, then go and take revenge!" Qin Tiansheng said calmly.
"How did this get involved with Ling Shu?" Han Qianling was puzzled. Qin Ling Shu was her precious daughter, and if her daughter was involved, she would have to think a lot more about it.
"Whether Ling Shu can become a direct disciple of the Qingxiao Sect depends on Lin Fan. If you offend him, won't you ruin Ling Shu's future?" Qin Tiansheng said.
Han Qianling fell silent. If Qin Lingshu could truly become a direct disciple of the Qingxiao Sect, then Han Feicheng's death might not be so unacceptable.
Seeing that she remained silent, Qin Tiansheng knew that she had made a decision in her heart, and then said, "Alright, I am also heartbroken that Feicheng was killed, but who told the Han family to spoil him? He not only caused trouble in Shanhai City, but he also dared to provoke the chief of Youzhu Peak. There was nothing we could do."
"Once Ling Shu becomes a direct disciple of the Qingxiao Sect, I will ask her to get you a Youth Preservation Pill so that you can stay young forever. This will be Fei Cheng's last act of filial piety."
"Really? Husband, you must be lying to me!" Han Qianling's eyes lit up when she heard about the Youth Preservation Pill, and the sadness in her heart lessened considerably.
She knew it was unrealistic to try to deal with Lin Fan; she just wanted to cause trouble, make Qin Tiansheng feel guilty, and get more benefits for Qin Lingshu.
After Qin Wunian returned, Han Qianling was restless and unable to eat or sleep. Qin Wunian was the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife. If she really wanted to fight for the family property, Qin Lingshu would not dare to compete with her because of her status.
"Don't worry, you know how filial Ling Shu is," Qin Tiansheng said with a smile, as if it were a foregone conclusion that Qin Ling Shu would become his personal disciple.
...
Lin Fan returned to his room and was about to take a shower. He took off his clothes and lay in the bathtub when there was a loud knocking on the door.
"Who is it? I'm taking a shower. Wait for me for two hours!" Lin Fan was speechless. He had just stepped into the room when someone knocked on the door.
A quick scan with her divine sense revealed it to be her good friend, Murong Xuanqiu. Was she got a dog's nose? It was so sharp.
With a bang, the door was forced open, and Murong Xuanqiu walked in confidently. Seeing Lin Fan taking a bath, she didn't run away in embarrassment. Instead, she closed the door behind her and quickly walked up.
"Senior brother, I heard you went to brothels again today?" Her pretty face was flushed, her expression full of gossip.
"Nonsense, I am completely innocent. It was Senior Brother Zhuge who had worldly desires and went to visit prostitutes!" Lin Fan said coldly.
"Oh, I don't believe it!" Murong Xuanqiu's big, dark eyes darted around, then he stretched his neck, trying to peer into the bathtub.
Lin Fan was speechless. He reached out and pushed her head back. This little potato was too open. She didn't have the shyness and reserve of a young maiden at all.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Lin, tell me about it! I want to hear your story of sleeping with two courtesans!"
Murong Xuanqiu revealed two tiger teeth, his eyes were clear and bright, but his smile was extremely irritating.
"Senior brother, do you prefer white tigers or black tigers? Do you prefer big waves or small apples?" She touched her own small apples, her smile becoming increasingly wicked.
Suddenly they all stopped, their keen senses detecting that Chu Yunying was also quickly walking towards the room.
"Senior brother, you don't want Junior Sister Chu to know that we bathed together, do you?" Murong Xuanqiu became even more excited.
"Speak, what exactly do you want to do?" Lin Fan rolled his eyes. What the hell is this about taking a bath together? He's just spouting nonsense.
"Tell me your plan!" Murong Xuanqiu got straight to the point. This matter had been tormenting her for days, keeping her awake every night.
"No problem, hurry up and get on my bed and cover yourself with the blanket!" Lin Fan rolled his eyes, grabbed her shoulder, and threw her onto the bed.
That crazy girl, she's still incorrigible, even daring to set her sights on me.
Murong Xuanqiu quickly suppressed her aura and covered herself with the blanket. She wasn't worried about being discovered by Chu Yunying. At worst, she could just marry Lin Fan. As for how many Daoist partners he wanted to find, she didn't care.
Chu Yunying knocked on the door. Lin Fan used magic to dry the water stains on his body, got dressed, opened the door, and said coldly, "Junior Sister Chu, is there something important?"
"Senior Brother, I heard you went to brothels again!" Chu Yunying raised her fair chin, her eyes red, and said aggrievedly.
"Yeah, so what? Do you want to give me an award?"
Lin Fan was so angry his teeth ached. Which bastard was spreading rumors about him? He decided not to explain anymore. Let them be intimate with him, anyway, his innocence was doomed.
"But you clearly said you wanted to focus solely on cultivating immortality!"
Chu Yunying didn't know how to start the conversation. She felt a deep ache in her heart, as if it were being torn apart by sharp claws, and the pain was so intense that she couldn't breathe.
"I can cultivate immortality if I want, or I can engage in dual cultivation if I don't want to. I can do whatever I want, and it has nothing to do with Junior Sister Chu!" Lin Fan sneered.
How idle must one be, always thinking about their own business?
Chu Yunying's eyes welled up with tears, and her face turned pale. She said, "But Senior Brother, you clearly know my feelings, so why did you do this?"
She grabbed Lin Fan's hand, but he ruthlessly slapped it away.
Who you like or who you fall in love with is none of my business. I don't like you either, so don't flatter yourself.
Lin Fan turned around, his gaze turning cold, and said, "If you think that learning the Phoenix Spirit Sword Technique will change anything, you're just overthinking it. I can practice this sword technique if I want, and I can choose another one if I don't!"
