  His cousin returning made Lin Fan feel much more confident. 

  With a super helper here, he didn’t need to be afraid when he faced trouble. That assassin was still a problem. Even his cousin wasn’t his opponent. In the end, he had to rely on himself. 

  Or rather, he had to rely on the small support system. 

  Lin Fan and Liang Yichu didn’t have much of a practical conversation; they were just praising one another and talking about useless things. 

  He noticed that Liang Yichu’s facial color was not bad recently, much different from the first time they met. 

  His face was redder and more nourished. 

  This meant that he was having a better and better time in Liang Family, and might inherit the position of Family Head. 

  Having wine and having a good meal, time passed really quickly. 

  “Brother Liang, let’s end here today. Let’s meet again when we have a chance.” Lin Fan cupped his fists. His intentions were really obvious that this bragging session had come to an end. 

  Liang Yichu smiled, “Okay. Brother Lin, take care.” 

  Within the restaurant. 

  “Mr. Zu, Young Master Lin is a good person, right?” Liang Yichu asked. 

  Zu Xiang blinked. How was he going to reply to that? Everything was just on the surface; the truth within was probably really terrifying. 

  Lin Family Manor. 

  When Lin Wanyi found out that Zhou Zhongmao returned, his expression changed. 

  Why did he come back so quickly? 

  Although the pirates on the side of Wei River were not much, they were still really cunning. 

  He knew that it wasn’t a problem for Zhongmao to wipe out the pirates, but this was just too quick! What happened? He was much quicker than the predicted time. 

  “Old Master, there’s no need to think about it. We have underestimated Zhou Zhongmao.” Old Wu consoled Old Master. Zhongmao was too strong, exceeding everyone’s expectations. 

  Or maybe the pirates were too dumb and careless, to directly fight against Zhongmao, resulting in their entire group collapsing. 

  Lin Wanyi shook his head. 

  He underestimated Zhongmao. 

  Zhongmao’s cultivation had reached the peak of Martial Path Grade Eight, and he would enter Grade Nine soon. 

  His cultivation speed was truly that of a genius, a true genius. 

  He had spent much effort to teach him these dozens of years, to help the Lin Family develop a true expert. 

  In the future, that unfilial kid would be able to have a good life. 

  “Father, I am back.” After Lin Fan returned, he saw his father and Old Wu talking beside the pond in the courtyard. 

  “Uncle, I have completed the mission and wiped out all pirates in the Wei River.” Zhou Zhongmao reported. 

  The pirates were just too weak, and only the leader had some ability. However, the gap was too much, and it wasn’t even a challenge. 

  “Very good. You have done well.” Lin Wanyi nodded his head in satisfaction. Zhou Zhongmao really did well. 

  However, he returned too quickly, totally different from what he had expected. 

  Why couldn’t he have stayed there for a longer time? 

  “Uncle, I have brought back their riches, four full boxes. Who knew that one small pirate group could be so rich? They must have robbed many ships.” Zhou Zhongmao said. 

  Wei River was an important naval passage, and many merchant ships passed it. Some ships might not be able to afford experts to defend them. Thus they would be robbed. 

  Or maybe they had experts. When the pirates probed and realised that they were too weak, they would then retreat. 

  Wei River, which was close to You City, was controlled by the Yuan and Liang Families. As there were no benefits to gain, they didn’t bother with them and allowed the pirates to do whatever they wanted. 

  “Father, I will bring Cousin back to rest.” Lin Fan said. 

  His little support system was problematic. 

  He had to be proactive, or else he wouldn’t be able to gain rage points. 

  During this period of time, he was really low profile as his cousin wasn’t at home. Thus he didn’t cause much trouble. Now that his cousin was back, who would he be afraid of? 

  Lin Wanyi opened his mouth, “During this period of time, don’t go out.” 

  “Why?” Lin Fan was stunned, “Father, I didn’t cause any problems. Today, I even went to visit the Liang Family Third Brother. 

  We have resolved everything.” 

  Rage Points +66. 

  “I told you not to go out, so don’t. Why talk so much nonsense?” Lin Wanyi hollered furiously. 

  “Okay, you are my father, and I am the son. I will listen to you.” Lin Fan didn’t want to say much more. He was restricting his freedom now, how terrifying. 

  Of course, he just casually said that. 

  It was nearly impossible to control his freedom. 

  That was impossible. 

  He would rather die than not have freedom. 

  He brought his cousin towards the back courtyard. 

  “Old Wu, follow him for this period of time.” Lin Wanyi said with a heavy tone. 

  How would he, as a father, not know how his son acted. 

  He was just lying. 

  He would probably head out the next day. 

  “Yes, Old Master.” Old Wu replied. 

  At night, the sky was dark. 

  The Wang Family Village was bustling. Someone married, so the villagers all got to work to hold a simple wedding. 

  The wedding ended. 

  Wang Dahe strolled back home, humming as he walked. 

  “Yi, why did she sleep so early?” 

  He was filled with doubt, but he didn’t bother with it. 

  Everyone went to the wedding, and his wife came back after eating. Only he remained there to drink to the end. 

  He stood in front of his door, and a cold wind blew. 

  With a creak, he pushed open the wooden door. 

  The house was dark, and the candles weren’t even lit. 

  Wang Dahe shook his head and mumbled, “You are too much. I haven’t even returned, yet you extinguished the candles.” 

  He stumbled around to the bed. His wife was sleeping there. 

  “Wife, are you asleep?” Wang Dahe asked softly. 

  There was no reaction. 

  Wang Dahe reached his hand in and slid to her waist. 

  Instantly, he retracted his hand. So cold, like he touched ice. 

  “Wife, why is your body so cold? Did you catch a cold when showering?” 

  Wang Dahe got up and wanted to flip her over to see what was going on. If she was sick, then he had to cure her. 

  When he saw her face, everything turned to darkness. 

  Morning. 

  “Ah!” 

  A terrified shout broke the silence. 

  Many villagers rushed over. 

  “Dahe and his wife died!” A middle-aged man said paralysed on the ground. His face was filled with panic as he pointed at the house. 

  Lin Family Manor. 

  Lin Fan got up, and it was the beginning of a new day. 

  What was he going to do today? 

  He had no idea. 

  His relationship with Liang Yongqi was slowly getting better. Yesterday, he sent gifts and if he went to beat him up today, that was a little bad. 

  “Young Master, something happened in Wang Family Village. Someone died.” Gou’zi carried a face washing basin and walked in. 

  Lin Fan was curious, “Someone died?” 

  He hadn’t seen anyone dying during his time here. To him, this death was a huge matter. 

  “En, someone died. I don’t know the cause. Two people died, and they were a couple. They were found this morning, and it was said that they died terribly. Rumors are that demons did it.” Gou’zi mentioned the gossip he heard. 

  Lin Fan washed his face as his curiosity grew. They died terribly? 

  How bad was it? 

  As for having something to do with demons, it was a little too much. 

  However, he couldn’t ensure that it didn’t happen. 

  “Let’s go. Call my cousin, and we will head to Wang Family Village. No matter what, they are under us.” Lin Fan said. 

  He was responsible for them, so he had to do so.

  Wang Family Village. 

  The villagers didn’t dare to enter. It was too terrifying like there were demons inside. They were afraid that the moment they entered, they would be targeted by those demons. 

  “Village Chief, what should we do?” A villager asked. 

  Old Wang panicked. Why would there be deaths in Wang Family Village, which had been peaceful for such a long time? 

  As for what to do now, he had no idea. 

  Some villagers discussed this with one another. 

  They thought that it was either Yuan or Liang Family taking revenge. 

  If it was not them, who else would have animosity with the Wang Family? 

  However, the moment they thought about that, the village chief stared at them. 

  One could think about those words in one’s heart. However, if someone else heard it, that would incur problems. 

  “Young Master Lin is here!” 

  Suddenly, some villagers announced. 

  To the three large villages, the name of Young Master Lin was really prominent. 

  They were able to get over their tough times thanks to Young Master Lin. He gave them a chance to live; otherwise, they really didn’t know what they could do. 

  “Young Master Lin.” 

  “Young Master Lin.” 

  The villagers all made way for him and respectfully greeted him. 

  People from aristocratic families were all evil. 

  However, there were always some special cases, for example, Young Master Lin. 

  “En.” Lin Fan nodded his head. He was really calm. With his fame out there, he was respected by others. That was to be expected, and he really enjoyed this feeling. 

  Zhou Zhongmao protected by his cousin’s side and looked around warily. 

  Even if this bunch of commoners didn’t have strength, he wouldn’t be careless. As long as his cousin was here, even if there were no one around, he would still be wary. 

  Gou’zi followed behind them. 

  He smiled. 

  When he saw that his young master was beloved by these villagers, he felt proud too. 

  “Young Master Lin.” The village chief walked over. 

  “Village chief, who are the ones that died?” Lin Fan asked. 

  To the peaceful village, death was a huge matter, especially since the deaths were bizarre. 

  “Young Master, the ones that died are Wang Dahe and his wife. One of our villagers noticed when he hollered for him to head to the farmlands with him. After no reaction from knocking on the door, the door opened on its own, and he noticed the two of them dead on their bed.” 

  The village chief said everything that he knew. 

  He didn’t think that Young Master Lin would actually come over to Wang Family Village to care about this matter. 

  He was touched; this was the feeling of others holding one in high regard. 

  “Cousin, this doesn’t smell right.” Zhou Zhongmao said. 

  “How so?” Lin Fan asked. His cousin was so skilled! I didn’t even smell anything, and he actually caught it. 

  Zhou Zhongmao was silent for a moment, “It is hard to say.” 

  “Forget it. Let’s look at the corpse first.” Lin Fan said. 

  The Village Chief was in a bad position, “Young Master Lin, you have a noble identity, and it is so dirty within the house. How can you enter?” 

  Lin Fan raised his hands and said calmly, “What do you mean? You all are from the Lin Family. Since things occurred, naturally, the Lin Family will take charge. Dirty or not, it is okay.” 

  His words shook everyone in the village. 

  They were touched. 

  They never heard aristocratic family members say such things to them. 

  He actually admitted that they were part of the Lin Family. 

  Everyone was pumped to farm well to repay Young Master Lin. 

  When Lin Fan walked to the front of the house, Zhou Zhongmao stopped him. He entered first; if there were any danger, he would wipe out that danger right away. 

  He definitely wouldn’t allow his cousin to be in danger. 

  “Cousin, enter.” Zhou Zhongmao said. 

  The smell within was tough to bear with. 

  They died last night, but it is impossible for them to decompose so quickly. 

  “This…” When Lin Fan saw the two corpses on the bed, they were stunned. This was the first time they had seen such a horrifying scene. 

  The two corpses had their mouths open, and they didn’t have any eyeballs. Their fingers were twisted into a claw as if they had gone through a horrifying moment before they died. 

  Their bodies had dried up, and all their blood was sucked dry. 

  “Who did it?” Lin Fan muttered. He then noticed something, that there was a hole in their chests; their hearts were ripped out. 

  Looking closely, the surrounding withered meat was even, like it was ripped out by a really sharp tool. 

  It was a little cruel. 

  “Cousin, look at this wound. Can you discover anything?” Lin Fan asked. 

  Zhou Zhongmao touched the wound, “Cousin, this wound doesn’t seem to be made by a sharp tool, but more of a hand directly stabbing in.” 

  Are you kidding? 

  Grabbing with a hand? 

  Whose hand is circular? 

  The light in the room dimmed. 

  Originally the house was bright, but the ground seemed to be sliced in half as darkness expanded to swallow the light. 

  None of them noticed. 

  Suddenly, a red thing flashed in the darkness. 

  “Cousin, be careful!” Zhou Zhongmao reacted quickly, slapping over with a palm filled with terrifying power. He then grabbed his cousin to flee outside the room. 

  Peng! 

  When the two of them were out, a low and heavy voice spread out of the room. 

  “What is going on?” Lin Fan was stunned and still hadn’t come to his senses. 

  Zhou Zhongmao looked warily into the building, “Cousin, be careful. Something is actually hidden in that building.” 

  This was the first time he had faced such a situation. 

  He knew about the Demon Race. They lived far from humans and had their own group of powers. They wouldn’t have conflicts with humans. 

  “Young Master, are you okay?” Gou’zi asked in a panic. 

  Lin Fan waved his hand. He didn’t know what it was, but his cousin was the one that pulled him out. 

  A clamor spread out. 

  When the villagers saw the situation within, they all fled in panic. 

  The building, which was quite bright, was now covered in darkness. It was a black patch, and one wouldn’t be able to see one’s fingers when reaching out with one’s hands. 

  The black mist looked like it was flowing, but it didn’t flow out nor disappear, it just filled the small building. 

  “What are you? Actually daring to mess about in the Lin Family territory. Come out and surrender, or you will be taught a lesson!” Lin Fan hollered. 

  How terrifying. 

  Even an Advanced Martial World wouldn’t be so magical, right? 

  What cultivation technique was that? 

  To actually cause such a situation. 

  Rage Points +111. 

  Lin Fan felt weird. He actually gained rage points. Was there someone there who hid in the black mist and didn’t dare to show his face. 

  He used the Bug Controlling Technique to control an ant to charge in to take a look to see what was going on. 

  Instantly, his connection with the ant was broken, as the ant died. 

  What was this thing? It did not let off even a small ant. 

  Lin Fan was stunned. The enemy’s eyes were too good, that small ant might be just strolling passed, yet he could still notice it and kill it. 

  How vicious. 

  “Cousin, retreat first, I will guard here.” Zhou Zhongmao said seriously. 

  Lin Fan didn’t leave. He picked up a stone and tossed it towards the building. “Fake thing, scram out.” 

  The stone entered the darkness with a loud “peng”. 

  The black mist quickly flicked the stone back. 

  Zhou Zhongmao slapped it to the side, his huge internal strength smashing the stone. 

  Rage Points +222. 

  Oh my god! 

  Lin Fan felt like he had discovered a new continent. 

  When was it so easy to get rage points? 

  Or maybe he was like a frog at the bottom of a well. He had never exited the city. If he did, he would notice that rage points were everywhere for him to pick up and take. 

  “Preposterous, you actually dare to fight back! I am the Lin Family Young Master. You are being arrogant in my territory! Don’t think about leaving. As long as I grab you, I will rip out your skin!” 

  Lin Fan hollered. He acted like he was firm and strong to grab more rage points. 

  Rage Points +333. 

  Amazing. 

  The thing was really explosive. 

  He just scolded this thing that he wasn’t familiar with, and he gained so many rage points. 

  How temperamental was that person?
