Chapter 4: Chapter 4- A smile that makes one feel perfunct
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
News of the Lin Family Young Master treating beggars to food at Drunk Fragrance Pavillion was spread out by passers-by.
Normal civilians felt that it was unbelievable and too fake.
It was impractical.
How would the rich families be so nice?
Their lives were like ants in the eyes of rich families.
Seeing the oily mouths of beggars as they walked out of Drunk Fragrance Pavillion in satisfaction, everyone was stunned.
Like they were looking at ghosts.
To the normal civilians, they couldn’t spend like that.
A normal meal would cost one silver.
One silver here was like a thousand dollars.
Drunk Fragrance Pavillion Treasurer rubbed his hands, and he was a little uneasy. “Young Master Lin, a hundred and three silver, I will just charge you a hundred.”
“Get the bill.” Lin Fan reached out to tell Gou’zi to pay for it.
The treasurer heaved a sigh; it was good that he was willing to pay.
If Young Master Lin wasn’t willing, then so what if they were angry, could they quarrel with the Lin Family?
“Young Master, we didn’t bring enough silver.” Gou’zi said softly.
A little awkward.
Young Master spent too much.
“Huh?” Lin Fan was stunned; what was going on?
They ate a little too much, without such riches, a normal family couldn’t afford it.
Such a thing actually occurred?
What a joke!
No matter what, he was the son of a large family, to actually say they didn’t bring enough money.
How was it befitting of his identity?
Did he still have face?
At that moment, the treasurer’s heart jumped.
Although Gou’zi’s voice was soft, he heard it loud and clear. Not enough silver, were they trying to avoid paying?
“Take a pen and paper, and I will write an IOU. Ask for it from the Lin Family.” Lin Fan said.
“Ah.” The treasurer looked towards Lin Fan a little lost, ask from the Lin Family?
Even if he had ten times more courage, he didn’t dare to.
“Forget it, follow us back.”
Lin Fan saw that the treasurer wasn’t steely enough, and knew he wouldn’t dare head to the Lin Family.
What he wanted was rage.
He ate and drank so much here, so he had to pay money.
He couldn’t bully people.
This was a little awkward, luckily that fellow left. If he stayed, he would become a joke and lose all his face.
Lin Family Courtyard.
When the Drunk Fragrance Pavillion’s treasurer arrived with Lin Fan, he was a little careful and nervous while following behind Lin Fan.
His mind was a mess.
He was even thinking that the Lin Family Young Master brought him here to kill him.
“Gou’zi, bring him to settle the bill.” Lin Fan said.
“Yes, Young Master.” Gou’zi replied and brought the treasurer off towards another direction.
Lin Fan returned to the courtyard.
He stopped caring about anything else.
It was just money.
Since his family is rich, he would spend it all.
He thought about it.
While enjoying life, he would gain some rage points.
To gain rage and not do anything dangerous, only through his family could he do so.
“Let’s look at my stats.”
He wasn’t too interested in cultivation and felt that it was tiring. Now it was just adding points to his stats, and he was satisfied with such a simple life.
Lin Fan
Physique: 10
Internal Strength: 0
Heart Cultivation: Nil
Cultivation Technique: Nil
Rage Points: 465
“Interesting, since rage points can increase my stats, I won’t have to cultivate in the future.”
“The situation seems good.”
Lin Fan nodded his head in silence.
His Physique jumped from ten to eleven.
His rage points dropped by a hundred points.
At this moment, he felt like his body had become a little stronger.
Looking in a mirror.
He saw his expression was much better than before.
If he used other people as examples, these eleven points might be low, but it was a large change to Lin Fan.
He continued to add points.
His rage points decreased by three hundred, and his Physique rose up to 14.
Peng!
There was a low sound in his body.
He ripped open his shirt, and there was a ball of energy which flowed beneath his skin.
There were actually muscles slowly forming.
His fingers grabbed onto a table. If it was before, he could only move a corner if he used all his strength.
Now he used all his strength, and the four legs left the ground and rose into the air.
“My strength increased, not bad.”
“I told you, coming to a rich family, I have to enjoy life. How can I focus so much on cultivation? This golden finger allows me to avoid all difficulties perfectly.”
14 points in Physique, how big was the change from before?
He had no idea.
However, he knew that in the future when he was free, adding points to have some self-protection ability would not be bad.
However, he had to find a long term source for rage points.
Just at that moment.
“Rage +50.”
“Rage +100.”
“Rage +200.”
350 points in rage.
“What was going on? I am in my room and didn’t offend anyone, so who sent the 350 points over?” Lin Fan pondered.
He had no idea.
Lin Family Hall.
“Old Master, Young Master invited many beggars to eat at Drunk Fragrance Pavillion and paid 100 silver. The silver has been given to the Drunk Fragrance Pavillion Treasurer.” An old man said as he stood at the side.
The one who spoke was the Lin Family Head Accountant Old Wu.
He was as old as Lin Wanyi and spent 60 years in the Lin Family.
He didn’t expect the young master to actually spend so much in Drunk Fragrance Pavillion.
In the past, the young master didn’t like to train, but at least he didn’t waste money.
However, he actually learnt how to do so.
That was something he didn’t expect.
Lin Wanyi listened to the report, his face was cold and his chest rose up and down. Rage burned within him as he grit his teeth.
“What an unfilial child, what an unfilial child!”
He was too angry.
His body was shaking.
Old Wu sighed. The Old Master didn’t like to read and didn’t know how to use words.
He had followed beside him for so long.
The two words he heard the most was an unfilial child.
“Call this unfilial child over to see me!” Lin Wanyi roared.
He had always worried about him.
In the courtyard, Lin Fan laid on a bamboo chair with an umbrella over his head. In his hands was an ice cube which he slowly ate.
Gou’zi stood at the side, holding a fan and waving slowly.
“The weather is a little hot.” Lin Fan said.
“Young Master, it is a little hot, it hasn’t rained in a long time.” Gou’zi said.
Lin Fan loved to increase his stats and the rage points he got were used right away.
Physique: 18.
In a blink of an eye, it increased by 4.
He felt like he could kill a cow with a fist.
“Gou’zi, take out that blade technique and let me look at it.” He didn’t look at it carefully in the past and just glanced at it. He was free now so he just took a look.
Gou’zi hurriedly took out the Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique. It would be great if Young Master is willing to cultivate.
Lin Fan read page by page.
It wasn’t a top cultivation technique.
It was a book teaching one how to use blades.
It was uninteresting.
Gou’zi looked and served his young master at the side.
After a while, Lin Fan handed the book over to Gou’zi.
The stats had some change.
In the cultivation technique column, there were changes.
Cultivation Technique: Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique (Basics not yet learnt)
He tried to add his remaining points to it, but there was no reaction.
At that moment, footsteps could be heard.
Gou’zi knelt on the ground and said respectfully, “Old Wu.”
Lin Fan turned his head and saw that the person who came was the Lin Family accountant who grew up with Lin Wanyi. He had a high position in the Lin Family.
He wasn’t as young as Lin Wanyi, his face had marks left by time. He had white hair and his back was arced.
He smiled.
“Young Master, Old Master called you over.” Old Wu said.
“Understood.” Lin Fan replied.
The huge Lin Family.
Only his cheap old father could give him so many rage points.
Gou’zi wanted to follow but was stopped by Old Wu. Old Master was angry and for a servant to follow, he might be dragged down.
Lin Fan agreed.
He was that fellow’s son, but Gou’zi wasn’t.
He got a helper with much difficulty, and he didn’t want him to die just like that.
“Young Master, don’t make him angry.” Old Wu said. “This Lin Family needs you to lead it later so it can continue on.”
Lin Fan smiled, “Understood ”
Old Wu looked at the young master’s fake smile.
He felt totally speechless.

Lin Family Hall.
“Young Master, what is up?” Old Wu saw that young master suddenly stopped and asked curiously.
“Lin Fan shook his head, “Nothing, I just feel like there is killing intent boiling.”
Old Wu was filled with regret.
He couldn’t help Young Master at all.
If he wasn’t the only heir.
With Old Master’s personality, he would have smacked him to death.
“Old Master, Young Master is here.” Old Wu spoke up before backing off to the side.
Lin Wanyi stood with his arms by his side and his back faced Lin Fan.
The hall was really quiet and he could hear heavy breathing.
“Rebel, kneel down for me.”
This was the third day since he dared to walk out of the door and accept the foreign world.
Now he was just too young.
This old monster wanted him to kneel right away.
There had to be a reason.
Great Qing died too early.
He wasn’t interested in kneeling.
“I won’t.” Lin Fan said.
Old Wu, who was standing at the door, raised his head and looked at young master. What was going on? Young Master wasn’t like that in the past.
“Rage +30.”
Lin Wanyi silently hid his rage, but it was dug out just like that. He was searching for something in the hall like he was about to act.
Not good, it doesn’t benefit me at all if it went on like this. He was still his son, father smacking the son was to be expected.
Lin Fan mumbled to himself and recalled a sentence that he read in a novel before.
When he saw it at the start.
Based on the introduction from the book, no matter if one were important or a passer-by, one would be impacted by the words.
Thinking about that.
He took a step forward and straightened his back, lowering his head in emotion, “As a martial artist, I will bear the Heavens and step on the Earth. In this life, I will kneel to the heavens to the earth and to my parents, but my life would be reduced to nothing if I kneel so easily.”
Old Wu’s eyes lit up as he stared at Lin Fan like he didn’t think that he would be able to say such words.
Lin Wanyi was slightly stunned, he was surprised.
Lin Fan was delighted, what a joke. If he couldn’t achieve that then how was he going to continue living?
Authors of books were all talents
With one bottle of beer, they could blow up the earth.
“Bullshit!”
Lin Wanyi shouted furiously, “The twelve grades of the martial path, you aren’t even at grade 1, what are you using to stand up and bear the heavens?”
“When I was at your age I relied on myself to live, what about you?”
His voice was like a bell. Being so close, his hair flew up from his voice.
Oh my god.
Lin Fan wanted to die.
It really wasn’t easy being the son of a rich family.
The words said were also a little humiliating.
He mumbled.
“Take what to stand up and what to hold up the heavens.”
“Using my head and legs to stand.”
Although his voice was soft, it was still heard.
“Rage +100.”
“What did you mumble?” Lin Wanyi was furious; he really didn’t understand how he gave birth to such a contented and lazy son.
“Nothing, I didn’t say anything.” Lin Fan instantly denied.
The situation wasn’t right.
If he continued to try to gain rage points, something serious might happen today.
He had to calm down.
He couldn’t panic.
He couldn’t overreact.
“Old Master, for Young Master to say that means he is ambitious. Why not give Young Master some time and he might change. ” Old Wu said.
He saw Lin Fan grow up.
Naturally, he wouldn’t look on and do nothing.
Old Wu helped speak up for Lin Fan, and Lin Wanyi just stared at Lin Fan.
He took in a deep breath.
He resisted the rage in his heart.
He still said angrily, “Scram, I will give you seven days to train in the Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique till you get the basics. Otherwise, scram out of the Lin Family and live on your own.”
“Okay, I will scram then.”
He still had to do what he had to do.
Although his father looked very young, he was 60 years old. It was okay for him to act like he was weak and to yield to him.
However, didn’t he suspect a change in his personality?
Or the fellow before had a similar personality, or were they pretty much carbon copies of one another?
“Rage +60. ”
Before he left, he gained another sixty rage points. It felt really simple and not difficult at all.
He thought that if he tried to get rage just from one person, would it result in animosity?
Impossible.
Really impossible.
Where would there be a father who would hate his own son so much and wanted to kill him?
Moreover, he was already so useless.
It was something that happened over a long time, so the pressure he took had to have risen to a higher level.
“Old Master, we know about Young Master’s personality. It would be tough to change it right away, give him a little more time.” Old Wu said.
He was born in the Lin Family and cared a lot about Lin Fan.
Lin Wanyi had a solemn expression and sighed, “We don’t have much time left. The 20 year limit of the You City border is about to end, and we would be at the forefront. He doesn’t even have the strength to protect himself; how can I not be anxious.”
Old Wu didn’t say anything.
Every twenty years was like a blade hanging over his neck.
Lin Wanyi waved his hand and walked to the back hall.
Looking at how he reacted, he seemed like he wanted to be alone.
Yuan Family.
“Dad, today you look really good after coming back from the Lin Family, did anything happen?” A teen asked.
He was from the Yuan Family, Yuan Tianchu, the second oldest.
Yuan Family had many children.
Even he, as the family head, might not remember how many children he had.
“Tianchu, I have seen the true face of the Lin Family Young Master. As the rumors said, the Lin Family will definitely fall in three years.”
“Everyone said that Lin Wanyi is a mighty person, but his son really is weak.”
He was even scolded by that brat at the Lin Family.
If not for him worrying about Lin Wanyi, he would have thought that kid a good lesson.
However, it was okay.
Let’s see when he could jump to.
Yuan Tianchu smiled, “Dad, I heard Lin Fan invited many beggars to Drunk Fragrance Pavillion to have a full meal and had many conflicts with the Liang Family Third Young Master. Such useless trash actually dared to provoke Liang Yongqi.”
“I was thinking why he didn’t attack and kill him.”
Yuan Family Head smiled and his tone was really firm.
“He is really dumb, ending the Lin Family. Don’t be anxious, let’s look at him after a year or two.”
Lin Family courtyard.
Lin Fan laid on the bed leisurely; his life was so comfortable.
Although he made things easy for his father once, it was worth it.
“What a waste, his expectations for me are too low. If it were higher, for me to become like this, his rage would definitely be much higher.”
Lin Fan shook his head in regret.
While enjoying life, he would still be able to raise his strength so easily, so why not.
This small support system was custom made for him.
At this moment, he looked at the details within.
He was in deep thought.
Would he continue to raise his stats or add to the Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique?
“Forget it. I will give you face and learn the Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique. If not, I will be on my own.”
“I am someone who wants face, since you said things so badly, where has all my face gone.”
“I will learn it in just a breath, are you afraid of me now?”
He spent his points.
Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique (Basics).
Rage instantly reduced by 200, he was left with 5.
Instantly, Lin Fan’s body shook like there was a mysterious power surging into his body. Like there was some sort of memory mark that was imprinted deep into his brain.
Like it had imprinted numerous years of the Vengeful Tiger Blade Technique memories into his body.
He raised his hand.
Finger, wrist, arm, he found it familiar.
Lin Fan jumped off his bed.
Hollering.
“Tiger tooth.”
His blade slashed down with strength.
A cold scoff spread out.
Peng!
The wooden table split into many pieces, shrapnels scattered all around the ground. The brick, which the four table legs were on, all fell apart.
“Wa, how painful.”
Lin Fan rubbed his right hand, his face turned red. Tears nearly flowed out.
“It’s swelling, it’s swelling.”
If someone saw this, they might think how stupid must one be to do something like that.
Not cultivating heart cultivation, no internal strength.
Physique was also really weak.
But to dare to use hands to use blade techniques and slice the table.
Such courage, normal people couldn’t do that.
“F*** cultivation, just asking for pain. Adding points is much better.”
