"Mm, apply the cream before sleep, you’ll beco prettier..."
Hearing this, Lin Fan’s mouth twitched hard, and he could only pinch his nose and nod in agreent.
"You used to be so rough, now you’ve beco quite delicate. No wonder you’re popular with girls."
Tie Hao had a strange expression, glancing sideways towards the bathroom.
He was a Righteous Energy peak martial artist, with extraordinary hearing.
He’d already noticed that there were people hiding in there.
Besides, it seed like there wasn’t just one... Damn, could they all be won?
Does this kid have such a strong desire, so thirsty!
Tie Hao was so shocked he nearly bit his tongue, secretly giving a thumbs up in his mind.
He didn’t point it out, signaling Lin Fan to follow him.
The two walked side by side towards the main courtyard, then arrived at Mr. Xia Sr.’s study.
Swoosh!
After knocking, Lin Fan, at Tie Hao’s signal, entered alone.
Suddenly, he saw a room full of military bigwigs, all rising abruptly!
Those eyes staring straight at him were filled with surprise and excitent.
Lin Fan felt a chill in his heart, almost wanting to turn and leave!
"Hahaha! It really is that Ying Bufan kid!"
"Good, really good, as long as he’s alive, that’s the best!"
"Looks like the Qi Replenishing Pill prescriptions we have are all real, this might just anger Old Shen to death!"
"Xia, that move of yours was too wicked, but I love it, hahaha!"
The various commanders of the battle zones all stepped forward, chattering about Lin Fan.
As if looking at a rare treasure.
So with exclamations, so with teasing eyes, laughing heartily.
Others pointed at Mr. Xia Sr. who was pacing with hands behind his back, laughing and cursing loudly.
"Got the prescriptions, right? Was Lin Fan’s gift enough?"
Mr. Xia Sr. smiled and nodded, then asked loudly in return.
"Of course, who doesn’t know about the Qi Replenishing Pill, you guys used it repeatedly to win the military competitions back then!"
"This kid used to be stingy, treating the Qi Replenishing Pill like a treasure, unwilling to share."
"Co on, after giving such a great favor, just say what you need, as long as we can do it!"
The crowd laughed and cursed, feeling incredibly happy.
Earlier at the guesthouse, they weren’t sure about the authenticity of the prescription.
Now seeing Lin Fan in person.
All doubts vanished, their hearts overjoyed!
"...I just want you all, the Old Marshals, to ensure justice for at tomorrow’s Shen family ancestral worship ceremony."
Seeing this, Lin Fan was silent for a mont, then cupped his hands towards the group.
"My mother Lin Suxin’s ashes were secretly dug up from Lingyuan Mountain in Haicheng by that beast Shen Yueli and brought back to the Imperial Capital."
"Tomorrow, I not only want to retrieve my mother’s ashes but also to expose Shen Yueli’s hypocritical face!"
As soon as these words fell, the study room fell into silence.
Then, a tumultuous uproar erupted!
"Ying—no, Lin Fan, are you sure, do you have any solid evidence?"
"This is such a big deal, if it really blows up, both the Ying and Shen Families will be disgraced!"
"That Shen Yueli always puts on a kind face, who knew she was so malicious behind the scenes!"
All the bigwigs were enraged, talking all at once.
Many furrowed their brows, advising Lin Fan to be prudent.
"I truly have no solid evidence, only a single eyewitness who fled abroad."
Lin Fan silently clenched his jaw and said frankly.
"But I am sure it was Shen Yueli... To vent her anger, she even sent people to harm those around , nearly wiping out the Hai City Yuan Family and Yun City Shen Family!"
"Damn it, this really is outrageous! For a woman to be so malicious, she deserves to die!"
Bam!
Old Yu slamd the table in clear anger.
The bigwigs of the other battle zones exchanged glances, shaking their heads silently.
Actually, what happened was Lin Fan’s family matter.
As outsiders, they didn’t want to ddle.
But, since Shen Yueli was so ruthless, harming others, she definitely needed to be reprimanded.
"Alright, everyone’s clear on the situation, tomorrow, I hope you old brothers will stand up and speak a fair word."
Mr. Xia Sr. sighed, cupping his hands toward the crowd.
"We’ll discuss this tomorrow; we gathered tonight for another reason as well."
Seeing Old Yu make a move, he pointed at Lin Fan.
"Since the high command has acknowledged his new identity and overlooked his past, shouldn’t we arrange for him to rejoin?"
Those words made the study fall silent again.
The bigwigs exchanged glances.
Each had a glint of eagerness in their eyes.
Though the Imperial Capital War Zone tightly sealed the information.
The rumors of Lin Fan single-handedly defeating The Four War Gods spread regardless.
Now that he’s alone, with a new identity.
If he were allowed to wander, wouldn’t it be a huge loss for the Xia Country Military?
"Ahem, our Southern Border War Zone can take in Lin Fan and exceptionally promote him to Vanguard Camp Commander!"
"Stop it, with such a talent, you petty little people only offer this position? Nephew Lin, co to our Eastern War Zone, and you’ll be the acting Deputy Commander of the Army right away, with guaranteed permanency in three years!"
"You’re talking nonsense, seven years ago he was commander of Hulin Guard, would he go be an assistant now?"
"Stop talking, co to our Western Border Battle Zone! I retire in six months, then I’ll recomnd you as Great Commander!"
The bigwigs argued loudly, spittle flying.
Totally ignoring Mr. Xia Sr. and Lin Fan exchanging helpless glances.
"Kid, you’re too popular, these old guys are about to fight over you."
He pulled Lin Fan outside, his expression suddenly serious.
"Tell , which battle zone do you plan to go to?"
Upon hearing this, Tie Hao, standing beside, also couldn’t help but look over, ears pricked secretly.
"Thank you for the offer, Old Marshal, I... don’t wish to return to the military."Silence, a deathly silence.
After a long pause, Lin Fan finally raised his eyes, murmuring with a complex expression.
"I want revenge for my mother, if I reenlist, I’ll be trapped by this identity."
"...Alright, everyone has their own ambitions, seeking revenge for your mother, emotionally and logically, is right, no one can stop you."
Mr. Xia Sr. was also silent for a mont, then nodded.
Beside him, Tie Hao visibly grew anxious, about to speak but was stopped by the forr’s gaze.
"Fine, go rest, tomorrow at noon, during the Shen family’s ancestral worship, you and I will retrieve your mother’s ashes."
The old man patted Lin Fan on the shoulder, indicating he could leave.
"Old Marshal, I’m sorry for putting you in a difficult position."
Lin Fan responded softly.
After apologizing, under the watchful gaze of Mr. Xia Sr. and Tie Hao, he left the main courtyard alone.
Strolling in the quiet night within the courtyard, Lin Fan looked lost at the sky.
Then, his eyes determined, he walked toward the courtyard gate.
His room still hid four girls.
Who knows what other troubles might arise after returning... It’s okay, under the cover of night, he might as well visit the old building.
"Mom, let’s go ho and take a look... Return to our own ho."
Lin Fan’s nose tingled with emotion, quietly crossing over the wall.
Then he started the black rcedes by the roadside, driving towards the botanical garden in the second ring.
