  Liang Yongqi was still too dumb. 

  Even if Lin Fan didn’t have many conversations with his father, he knew that the inner levels of the Liang and Yuan Families feared his father. 

  They just didn’t want to admit it on the surface. 

  The young were just too inexperienced. 

  They didn’t know the true situation. 

  Liang Yongqi didn’t have foresight at all, shouting out loud in the Lin Family. How arrogant. 

  “Liang Family Liang Yongqi, I think you should become kinder.” Lin Fan said helplessly. 

  Liang Yongqi was angered by Lin Fan. If this was outside and no one knew where they were, he swore that he would beat him up so badly that even his father and mother wouldn’t recognise him. 

  Old Master Yuan said, “Brother Lin, I didn’t suspect the Lin Family. But things have already happened, and the target is too obvious. It seems like we were targeted.” 

  Lin Wanyi smiled, “Brother Yuan, there is no need to hide your words. Just say your thoughts. I am also a reasonable person, and if it is possible, I will agree with you.” 

  “Okay, thank you for understanding, Brother Lin.” Old Master Yuan cupped his fists. Although behind the scenes, they would duel and compete with Lin Wanyi, he believed that Lin Wanyi wasn’t someone to do such scheming actions. 

  “Father, why not we let Old Master Yuan take a look at our granary, maybe we might have some clues.” Lin Fan said. 

  Liang Yongqi muttered, “Clues? My Liang Family granary was robbed, and even Mr. Zu didn’t find anything. Do you think you are skilled?” 

  Lin Fan glanced at Liang Yongqi, “What are you afraid of? I didn’t say that we would definitely find something, we are just taking a look. Anyways, I am suspecting whether or not you are the one who did it. We didn’t know that the Yuan Family granary was robbed, while you found out right away. Weird, how weird.” 

  Yuan Tianchu looked towards Liang Yongqi and was stunned. 

  That was right. Other people didn’t find out, but Liang Yongqi rushed over right away and even said that it was done by the Lin Family. That was too weird. 

  “Rage Points +111.” 

  “Stop pushing the blame onto others.” Liang Yongqi’s face turned red. 

  He then cupped his fists towards Old Master Yuan, “Old Master Yuan, my family’s granary was robbed too. I suspect that the grain thief is still in the city, so I arranged people to observe. After the Yuan Family granary was robbed, the person I arranged just happened to be there, which was how I found out.” 

  He didn’t think that Lin Fan would be so scheming. 

  He truly wanted him to die. 

  How cunning. 

  “Ha, that explanation is too forced. The more you explain, the more it shows that you are guilty.” Lin Fan said. 

  Liang Yongqi hollered, “Lin Fan, stop trying to incriminate the innocent!” 

  “Rage Points +233.” 

  So he did have some potential, directly giving 233 rage points from Lin Fan’s instigation. 

  Lin Wanyi didn’t stop all this and just watched on. For some reason, he suddenly noticed that his unfilial kid was much better than this Liang Family child. 

  He even knew how to devise arguments like that. 

  He caused Liang Yongqi to be so furious that he was about to jump up. 

  Why didn’t he notice this in the past? 

  Lin Fan said calmly, “Whether or not I am pushing the blame, we will find out when we take a look. Looking at you, you just want to blame it on us. It makes it hard for one not to think too much more. Old Master Yuan, please give your opinion.” 

  Old Master Yuan definitely wouldn’t turn on Lin Wanyi. 

  “Brother Lin, you are really experienced. Why not come over and take a look at our granary with me?” 

  Lin Wanyi didn’t reject him. He wanted to see what this unfilial kid was planning. 

  He was having so much fun. 

  Since Lin Fan said so many things, he wanted to head to the Yuan Family granary to take a look. 

  Since Lin Fan was so eager, he definitely had something planned. 

  Yuan Family Granary. 

  A bunch of people arrived. 

  Many commoners headed over and surrounded the place to watch after they found out that the Yuan Family granary was robbed. 

  What was going on recently? Why was one family after another being robbed? Who was so bold to even do that? Too terrifying. 

  “Old Master.” The guard trembled, opening the gate to let Old Master walk in. 

  Lin Fan looked at the situation around and sighed, “This thief really pays attention to detail, not leaving a single grain. What an attentive person.” 

  Lin Wanyi looked at his unfilial kid 

  He was praising himself, talking about how he pays attention to details. 

  If this thing wasn’t done well and if it was confirmed that the Lin Family stole it, it would be a huge loss of face. 

  “Brother Lin, look at the situation here. To be robbed in just one night. The three guards on duty fled when they noticed the grain was gone in the morning, and they are nowhere to be found.” Old Master Yuan said. 

  “They definitely ran. If they didn’t, they would have died.” Lin Fan said. 

  Lin Wanyi said, “To be able to steal all the grain in one night, that isn’t something a normal person could do.” 

  Lin Fan, who was faking like he was investigating, smiled in delight. It definitely wasn’t something a normal person could do. 

  He was the one who did it. 

  His methods were the stuff of legends. 

  If there was a thief ranking, just these two matters could place him in the top 2. 

  Liang Yongqi pulled Yuan Tianchu to the side and looked at Lin Fan, who was acting fake, “Brother Yuan, I don’t falsify my words. The granary was robbed by him, don’t let him bluff you.” 

  “That day, I was at Drunk Fragrance Pavillion, and he personally told me that he robbed my family’s granary. Thinking about it, it did make sense.” 

  Yuan Tianchu definitely believed Liang Yongqi’s words 

  It was because he had a conflict with Lin Fan and hoped that Lin Fan stole from them. In the end, if they manage to find evidence, he would be unable to hide from the truth. 

  “Yi!” 

  Suddenly. 

  Lin Fan, who was thinking, exclaimed, “Quick! Come take a look! There is a clue here!” 

  Everyone surrounded the place. 

  An ant died there. Upon closer look, one would notice that the ant died from being stepped on. 

  “It is just an ant.” Liang Yongqi said unimpressed. 

  Old Master Yuan frowned. He picked up the ant and took a closer look. 

  “Yi.” 

  Just at that moment, Lin Fan exclaimed, “There is a small hole here and some grain!” 

  Everyone looked out. As expected, it was a thin and small hole. It was really small, even if one took a closer look, it was still tough to notice. 

  Lin Wanyi was helpless. Unfilial kid, unfilial kid, this is too obvious. 

  Other people couldn’t see it, but you could? 

  Can you act better? 

  “Old Master Yuan, ant, grain, cave, did you think about something?” Lin Fan raised his head and asked. His expression was like him saying that he could definitely guess it. Just think about it. 

  Old Master Yuan thought about it for a long while and raised his head, “Ants stealing grain.” 

  “Right, ants stealing grain. Such a method is so amazing, no wonder it is tough for people to notice. Even if one is present, it would be hard to defend against it.” Lin Fan said. 

  “Old Master Yuan, can you bring some water brought here?” 

  Old Master Yuan instructed a guard to carry some water over. 

  Liang Yongqi and Yuan Tianchu looked at what Lin Fan was doing and was confused. Liang Yongqi’s face was covered in a cold smile. 

  What else could he say? 

  The guard carried some water over. 

  Lin Fan took it, slowly pouring the water into the small hole. 

  Di di! 

  Water flowed into the hole, and occasionally the water would bubble. 

  “Follow me out.” Lin Fan walked out of the granary and came to a corner outside. 

  Everyone didn’t know what he was doing. 

  Lin Fan took a blade and started to dig the sand. 

  The soil dug out was wet, which proved that it was connected. 

  Lin Fan said, “See this, this tunnel is connected. Now we can prove where the grain went to.” 

  “Old Master Yuan, do you have a map of the city?” 

  “Yes.” Old Master Yuan said. 

  He placed the map on the ground. 

  Lin Fan stooped over and wanted to continue speaking. However, everyone was still standing, so it was useless even if he said anything, “Stoop down, you all are standing so tall, what can you even see?” 

  Old Master Yuan hesitated for a moment before bending over. 

  Lin Fan pointed at the map, “You all have seen that the tunnel is stretching out in a line, with the granary at its center. It tilted at forty-five degrees.” 

  “We can reduce this range into the shape of a fan.” 

  “Look at my hand.” 

  He reached out his finger and placed it on the map before pushing it forwards and stopping at a corner. It was the Liang Family granary. 

  But he didn’t say anything. 

  “Look, this is the track, the trail of grain.” 

  After saying that, he pointed at the Liang Family granary several times. 

  Like he was saying. 

  Do you all see this, it is the Liang Family Granary. There is a problem, so let’s head over to take a look. 

  “Liang Yongqi, don’t try to sabotage my Lin Family. This route heads there and not to my Lin Family. Moreover, your granary and the Yuan Family granary is in a straight line. If we need to suspect anyone, it would be you.” 

  “I am done, I said so much just to prove that my Lin Family is innocent.” 

  “Father, let’s go.” 

  Lin Fan waved his hands. He said all that needed to be said, and what was left was to see whether or not Old Master Yuan could comprehend it. 

  If he didn’t then, he deserved to be robbed.

  Chapter 53: Chapter 53- Dad, are you insulting my intelligence?

  Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales 

  When he passed Liang Yongqi, Lin Fan gave him a weird smile. He patted his shoulder, “Not bad.” 

  Liang Yongqi shifted his body aside, his face covered in disdain. 

  Not bad your sister. 

  What was he even talking about? 

  He was totally stunned and didn’t understand at all. Old Master Yuan also really disappointed him, actually listening to what this bastard had to say. 

  If he were Old Master Yuan, he would have flipped out on him. What was the point of doing all these useless things? Just by opening the Lin Family granary, they would be able to prove everything. 

  That large amount of grain was definitely placed in the granary. 

  Looking on as Lin Fan left, Liang Yongqi walked to Old Master Yuan’s side, “Old Master Yuan, how can you let them leave? They were definitely the ones behind the granary matter.” 

  Old Master Yuan looked at the You City map in silence, like he was thinking about something. 

  “Father, what is it?” Yuan Tianchu asked. 

  Old Master Yuan said, “Let’s head back first.” 

  After he said that, they left the place, not bothering about any other matter. 

  Yuan Tianchu was totally confused and didn’t understand what was going on or what his father was doing. His family’s granary was stolen from, so why weren’t they doing anything? 

  On the way back, Lin Fan was thinking. Old Master Yuan’s comprehension was quite bad. He already made things so obvious; if he still couldn’t understand, then he was really disappointing. 

  If other people called him a pig brain, he would definitely agree. 

  “Unfilial kid, you did this, right?” 

  Lin Wanyi looked towards Lin Fan. If it was not this kid, who else could it be? 

  However, he was indeed smart. If he insisted that the grain was in the Liang Manor Granary, then that would be really dumb. 

  “Father, can you stop calling me unfilial kid? It sounds bad. Just call me Fan’er. It feels closer.” Lin Fan said. 

  He couldn’t let his father continue calling him an unfilial kid. 

  If he got used to it, that would be bad. In the future, even if he wanted to change it, he wouldn’t be able to. 

  Old Wu had high hopes for Young Master. 

  He was really skilled. 

  After returning to the Lin Manor, Father called him to the reading room right away. 

  “Father, what is going on? If you have nothing for me, then I have to head back to sleep. I didn’t sleep the entire night.” 

  Lin Fan only wanted to rest. Although he wasn’t tired, he habitually wanted to sleep. 

  All rich family young masters had smooth and tender skin, and all that was nourished through good habits. 

  If he stayed awake, he would soon become like his cousin, really thick and brutish. 

  There was no reply. 

  The reading room was silent. 

  Lin Wanyi had his hands behind his back as his back faced Lin Fan. 

  Lin Fan looked towards Old Wu like he was asking him what was going on with his father. 

  Old Wu shook his head and told Young Master not to speak. 

  At this moment, Lin Wanyi asked, “Do you have some connection with the people of Insect Valley, and have you cultivated their Bug Controlling Technique?” 

  It wasn’t an inquiry. 

  It was more of a confirmation. 

  Lin Fan was shocked. Father was so amazing, being able to see through things just like that. 

  “Young Master, is that true?” 

  Old Wu was stunned; he didn’t think that Young Master actually cultivated the Insect Valley’s Bug Controlling Technique. He had just thought that Young Master had a little skill, but he didn’t expect that it was the Bug Controlling Technique. 

  Lin Fan didn’t try to hide it. There was no need to hide things from family, “Father, it is like this. That day on the streets…” 

  Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted. 

  “Did you cultivate it?” Lin Wanyi asked. 

  Lin Fan replied, “Yes, I did.” 

  So what if he cultivated it? To him, there was nothing wrong with that. Moreover, the cultivation technique was not bad, and it was great at stealing things. 

  However, what he heard next made him think that he had heard incorrectly. 

  Lin Wanyi said solemnly, “Dissipate the technique.” 

  “Father, what are you saying?” 

  Lin Fan was stunned; why did Father tell him to do that? It was with much difficulty that he managed to add points to it. To dissipate it now was just too much. 

  “Do you know that you are burying a really uncertain and dangerous element in you. The Insect Valley secret is something that even their disciples are unable to train. However, you did so as an outsider. If they found out, will they let you live?” Lin Wanyi said fiercely. 

  Lin Fan wasn’t bothered about this, “Father, don’t I have you to protect me? Moreover, I am in You City and didn’t do anything funny.” 

  Old Wu said, “Young Master, Old Master is doing this for your own good. You can’t cultivate the Insect Valley technique. Otherwise, if you are discovered cultivating it, even Old Master wouldn’t be able to protect your life.” 

  People who didn’t know about the existence of Insect Valley wouldn’t be able to imagine how strong they were. 

  Old Master and he both experienced the might of Insect Valley. 

  They had many mysterious and special skills that caught one off guard. 

  Often when one met an Insect Valley disciple, they would definitely die. 

  “It isn’t that horrifying, right?” 

  Lin Fan felt that it was just a cultivation technique, what was the big deal? 

  “Not that horrifying?” Lin Wanyi stared at Lin Fan fiercely, “When you know how terrifying it is, you will already be a corpse! Listen to me and dissipate it. Don’t touch this technique. It is not something you can touch.” 

  “If you are found to be using it, I indeed can protect you. However, I can’t protect you your whole life. As long as they target someone, they won’t stop. They only will stop when the target dies.” Lin Wanyi said. 

  Lin Fan was annoyed; why did one even need to worry so much when one cultivated a technique? 

  Wasn’t it because he wasn’t strong enough? 

  If he were strong enough, he would wipe them out. He would cultivate it in front of them, and they wouldn’t dare to say anything. 

  “Father, then what should I do?” 

  Lin Fan felt that this life wasn’t what he wanted. 

  He wanted a worry-less life, to wake up, eat, and sleep. 

  However, the current situation… 

  It was too much; he was being forced. 

  Lin Wanyi grabbed Lin Fan’s wrist, and his internal strength spread into Lin Fan’s body. It wrapped onto the special internal strength of the Bug Controlling Technique. With a ‘peng’, the special internal strength broke and disappeared. 

  “Rage Points +1,000.” 

  Forget it; he would just let it happen. Otherwise, Father would definitely kill him. Who knew that the moment the technique was dissipated, he would actually have an increase in rage points. 

  These were the rage points he spent to cultivate the Bug Controlling Technique. 

  He would be returned rage points when he dissipated techniques? 

  “Fan’er, don’t blame me. I am doing it for your good. Living is the biggest desire. Bug Controlling Technique isn’t a good thing, and there will be many weird side effects once you cultivate it to a high level.” 

  “Based on what I know, someone cultivated it to a high level, and then weird changes happened. His butt grew on his head, and his head grew at his butt.” 

  Lin Wanyi said too much like he was telling a story to a kid. Like if the kid didn’t sleep, he would be kidnapped. 

  “Father, are you insulting my intelligence?” Lin Fan looked at his father. Father would really say anything so that he would stop cultivating it. 

  What butt growing on the head? How convenient it would be to defecate, one wouldn’t need to remove one’s pants. 

  “Young Master, Old Master’s words are true.” Old Wu was also shocked by Old Master’s words; he could only be shameless and act like it was real. 

  “Forget it. Let’s not talk about it. Anyways he already dissipated the technique.” 

  “Father, son will take his leave.” 

  Lin Fan shook his head. To say such things just to lie, that was scary. 

  He walked out of the reading room and consumed a thousand rage points. 

  Cultivation Technique: Bug Controlling Technique (Basics) 

  “Ha, how boring.” Lin Fan shook his head; it was still the same. 

  He dissipated it. 

  But he started cultivating it again. 

  The small support system was not bad; it was so convenient.
