Mr. Dongn wore a genial smile on his face.
But his eyes were full of mockery and sarcasm.
He half-squinted his eyes, gleaming with provocation, his black clothes fluttering, adopting a condescending deanor.
The guard, on the other hand, couldn't control himself, laughing heartily while directly mocking.
"Mr. Dongn is so generous, willing to let an ant like you enter. Do you still need to think? Miss this village, and you'll miss this shop! If not for Mr. Dongn's magnanimity, who would even notice an ant like you? Don't dawdle, thank Mr. Dongn properly and go in honestly! Everyone's waiting behind you!"
Diwu Yun'er fiercely glared at the guard, dissatisfied, and looked at Mr. Dongn.
"What do you an by this, Mr. Dongn?"
"Miss Diwu, don't misunderstand, I have no other intentions." Mr. Dongn said with a smile, exuding slyness at all tis. "Your friend is naturally my friend too. Isn't it right to help a friend?"
"Not necessary."
Diwu Yun'er retorted coldly, turning her head away.
Although the other looked handso and elegant.
His every gesture carried a facade of feigned politeness.
Abusing power, arrogant and rude.
She utterly detested it, unwilling to engage with him at all.
She also knew that Lin Fan wouldn't just let himself be humiliated like this.
"Brother Lin Fan, shall we wait for the clan leader? They might be on their way." Su Qiong tugged at Lin Fan's sleeve, worried.
She noticed Lin Fan was continuously smiling at Mr. Dongn, sensing sothing amiss. Yet she couldn't guess what Lin Fan intended, hence the suggestion.
"Sure!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Fan replied cheerfully.
However.
He wasn't responding to Su Qiong, but to Mr. Dongn.
"Then we'll trouble you to lead us in! Ah, the treasures inside are making itch to see them sooner, thank you, Mr. Dongn, let's go!"
Everyone was stunned.
Thinking they had heard wrong.
They stood dumbly like wooden blocks.
Diwu Yun'er couldn't believe her ears, her eyes wide like saucers.
Su Qiong, however, had anticipated so of it, thus wasn't as surprised. Just that she didn't expect Lin Fan to be so indifferent.
The guard blinked, his mouth agape. The prepared words of mockery weren't applicable, leaving him speechless and brain-tied.
Mr. Dongn remained sowhat composed, only his surrounding face lost its smile.
He t his match.
His mouth twitched slightly, his eyes deep, seemingly scheming sothing.
Having spoken, it wasn't good to refuse.
Suddenly.
He wore his smile again.
"Alright! Then please follow in."
He gestured them in.
Lin Fan wasn't polite either, making a face at the guard, swaggering and deliberately bumping the guard's shoulder as he entered the city.
Once inside.
Mr. Dongn and his entourage led the way.
Ignoring everyone, heads held high.
Lin Fan, Diwu Yun'er, and Su Qiong followed behind.
Wherever they went, people made way, forming an empty road, instantly turning into a spectator lineup on both sides.
"Look, look! Isn't that Mr. Dongn?! I didn't expect him to co!"
"Wow! He's really handso!"
"A gentleman, handso and graceful. Truly on par with !"
"However... why does it look like he's paving the way for soone? Who's that person behind?"
"What?! Ninth Rank Saint Emperor?! Am I seeing things?!"
"Could it be Mr. Dongn brought him in? Who is this guy that has such a privilege?!"
"For Mr. Dongn to personally make way, he must be so high-ranking figure."
"I must say, the person at the back is quite handso too! And flanked by two beauties, I'm so envious!"
In Yuluo City.
A sea of people, shoulder to shoulder.
The mont Mr. Dongn appeared, he imdiately drew everyone's attention.
Sparking a lot of discussion.
However.
The focus quickly shifted to the person behind Mr. Dongn — Lin Fan!
For soone Mr. Dongn made way for to be a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor, such a contrast grabbed even more interest, raising countless speculations.
The whispering reached Mr. Dongn's ears.
His face abruptly changed, turning sour.
They're saying I'm paving the way?! Are these people crazy?!
Who am I! How could I be doing such a lowly thing?
His eyes turned sharp, his expression cold.
Surely he knows who he is? Impossible.
He must be doing it on purpose.
So cunning!
He felt Lin Fan laughing secretly behind him, pointing and mocking in his shadow.
Initially wanting to flaunt a bit in front of Diwu Yun'er, who knew things would backfire, turning himself into an entourage!
Instead, that brat ca out on top!
When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
This move of playing along, he didn't foresee.
Diwu Yun'er also heard the people's discussions, quickly looking at Lin Fan.
She saw Lin Fan with a mischievous smile, winking at her.
Realization dawned!
So Lin Fan planned this all along!
But.
She could already feel the terrifying aura of Mr. Dongn slowly encroaching them.
The people's chatter.
Made him lose face completely! Incredibly vexed!
He used to always be the center of attention, yet today he beca a backdrop!
The murmurs around his ears grew noisier and noisier.
Mr. Dongn's anger surged, ready to erupt!
Suddenly!
A dark shadow appeared beside him.
His neck was struck!
His shoulder was held!
He quickly turned his head.
A look!
Oh damn! That brat?!
What's this about?!
No one had ever dared to put their arm around his shoulder! To compare with him!
Because it was the first ti, even Mr. Dongn was stunned, not resisting.
The entourage was also startled by this action, frozen on the spot.
Diwu Yun'er was taken aback too, sucking in a breath, but soon couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
Lin Fan was all smiles, as if he was very familiar with Mr. Dongn, hanging around his shoulder, acting very chummy.
"Lin Fan!"
He introduced himself with a smile.
Mr. Dongn was taken aback.
"Dongn Nu."
"Pleasure to et you! Thank you truly for today, if it weren't for you, I'd probably still be waiting outside!"
"Uh..."
Dongn Nu was startled by Lin Fan's enthusiasm, unsure how to respond.
For a mont, he snapped out of it.
"Let go."
Dongn Nu gritted his teeth, growling softly.
Lin Fan adopted an innocent look.
"Let go?"
Instead of letting go, he patted Dongn Nu's shoulder heavily, laughing.
"What? Aren't we friends?!"
He spoke so loudly, the whole street could hear.
Dongn Nu froze, his face turning livid.
"Just now outside, you said you were Yun'er's friend, I'm also Yun'er's friend, so we are friends, aren't we? Turning your back so quickly?"
Dongn Nu swallowed, speechless.
He hadn't expected.
To step into a trap Lin Fan had set all along.
Losing face big ti!
Being publicly humiliated!
A Ninth Rank Saint Emperor calling him a Dongn friend?!
He'd be laughed at until one's teeth fell out!
Becoming a well-known laughing stock!
His eye twitched continuously, his heart ached sharply.
"How dare you! Let go now! Do you know who the young master is?!"
The entourage, recovering, yelled angrily at Lin Fan!
Lin Fan blinked naively, looking at the entourage, then at Dongn Nu.
Whether he truly didn't know, or was just playing dumb.
"Who? Isn't he my friend?"
Every sentence starting with "friend."
Dongn Nu nearly spat old blood in fury, steam rising from his head.
Now this.
Invited trouble, hard to back down.
