Chapter 998: Chapter 999 Zhang Zhiyuan’s Flattery
This was a massacre, Lin Yifan didn’t originally intend to do this, but these people forced him, so he had no choice but to strike ruthlessly.
After the incident, Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge ran over with flattering faces, continuously praising him: “Brother Fan, you’re amazing, incredible, Universe Super Invincible.”
“Who else is there in this world besides Brother Fan?”
…
“Alright! Alright! Stop flattering, I’m sick of hearing it.” Lin Yifan interrupted with a disdainful expression.
Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge imdiately shut their mouths, their flattery was purely to gain Lin Yifan’s recognition.
It all boiled down to their imnse fear of Lin Yifan, truly afraid that if Lin Yifan wasn’t happy, he’d kill them too.
This feeling of serving a volatile master was truly exhausting, they had to be constantly on edge, cautiously careful.
After silencing Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge, Lin Yifan coldly spoke, “Co out! Stop hiding!”
“Soone else?” Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge were surprised.
They thought all cultivators from the six sects were dead, unexpectedly soone survived.
Hiding in the distant bushes, Zhang Zhiyuan knew Lin Yifan was referring to him; how could his petty trick escape Lin Yifan’s sharp eyes?
Thus, he laid down his weapons, raised his hands, and walked over with a friendly deanor.
Upon seeing this figure, Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge realized who survived; turns out it was their good brother—Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan had the foresight not to oppose Lin Yifan like Zhao Yi did; now, they had a companion.
Standing before Lin Yifan, Zhang Zhiyuan flattered: “If Mr. Lin doesn’t mind, I’ll call you Brother Fan like Long and Lü Qiu do.”
Lin Yifan didn’t answer his question, instead asked coldly: “Why didn’t you try to kill ?”
“Because Brother Fan is my friend, have you ever heard of friends killing friends?” Zhang Zhiyuan responded.
“Sorry, I’ve even heard of blood brothers doing so, let alone friends.” Lin Yifan replied with a cold laugh.
The opponent was being a bit clever, but approaching him wouldn’t be easy.
Zhang Zhiyuan felt embarrassed, not expecting Lin Yifan to say that; it seed the latter was very wary and resistant to him!
At this mont, he needed so support.
Thus, Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge anxiously explained: “Brother Fan! Brother Zhang is a good person, he wouldn’t do anything cruel and immoral.”
“That’s hard to say, have you not heard ‘those who mix with ink will turn black’? Long exposure to an environnt driven by profit can taint even the purest heart.” Lin Yifan responded.
Clearly, he was cautious and uncertain about Zhang Zhiyuan’s intentions for approaching him.
Zhang Zhiyuan naturally understood Lin Yifan’s concern, so he replied: “Since Brother Fan doesn’t trust , how about this, Brother Fan gives poison to control , how about it?”
He heard from Kongtong Sect’s disciples that it was how Qiushan Sect disciples were controlled by Lin Yifan, so he wanted the sa.
“Sure! That’s possible! But let remind you, once there was a group who offered such requests but ended up dead, do you know why?” Lin Yifan inquired.
“I don’t know!” Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head.
Actually, he sowhat guessed the reason, but knowing Lin Yifan had more warnings, he tactfully cooperated.
“Because they betrayed , so I couldn’t tolerate them, now you understand?” Lin Yifan responded and asked.
“Understood!” Zhang Zhiyuan replied, then patted his chest, assuring: “Brother Fan, I definitely won’t sell you out, won’t betray you.”
“It’s early to say now, after all, ti will reveal one’s true nature, adversity reveals true feelings, conduct yourself well!”
With that, Lin Yifan no longer wanted to waste words, directly taking out poison for Zhang Zhiyuan to consu.
After all, the warning was given; whether to heed it was up to the other party.
“Brother Fan, I’ll keep this in mind.”
After a sincere bow, Zhang Zhiyuan intended to swallow the poison in front of Lin Yifan.
At this ti, Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge couldn’t help asking: “Brother Zhang, are you really going to do this?”
“No choice, I’m the newcor, I understand Brother Fan’s feelings, his actions; so don’t persuade , as long as I act right, I believe Brother Fan, with his great righteousness and integrity, won’t harm .”
Finished speaking, he no longer listened to persuasion and swallowed the poison in one go.
Lin Yifan felt that Zhang Zhiyuan was far more calculative than Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge, so he had to be cautious.
“After you leave, will you tell today’s event to Kunlun Sect elders?” Lin Yifan asked curiously.
“Rest assured, Brother Fan, I definitely won’t do such a thing to sell you out.” Zhang Zhiyuan responded.
Lin Yifan was the dicine Saint’s direct disciple, even if he reported, it wouldn’t help; so he wouldn’t do anything detrintal to himself.
“Then how will you explain to your elders that you were the sole survivor of the treasure hunt expedition?” Lin Yifan pursued.
“I’ll say I got lost, say I went to the bathroom and luckily avoided the disaster, say I was doing other tasks and unaware of the events. In short, I absolutely won’t reveal Brother Fan.” Zhang Zhiyuan listed reasonable excuses, directly answering Lin Yifan’s question.
Lin Yifan felt pleased; even if Zhang Zhiyuan reported, he wouldn’t be worried; he asked to test Zhang Zhiyuan’s sincerity. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhiyuan responded so well; he underestimated him.
On the other side, Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge were relieved, Brother Zhang finally gained Lin Yifan’s approval.
Next, the three were tasked by Lin Yifan to collect Sun Fruits acquired by the six sects over ti.
Searching around, they soon gathered the Sun Fruits of the six sects.
Counting carefully, there were over seventy, a true harvest.
“No wonder so many Sun Fruit Trees were barren, you brats had picked them all.”
Touching these Sun Fruits, Lin Yifan felt content, quite delighted.
This was a small return for the efforts he invested.
On the other side, Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge were beaming; now they could finally enter the Central City for treasure hunting, no longer fearing outside bullying and harm.
Zhang Zhiyuan had an indescribable joy, hidden deep without showing; knowing revealing it would be arrogant, risking his treasure hunt in Central City ending in failure if Lin Yifan saw.
He knew if Lin Yifan lost today’s battle, these Sun Fruits wouldn’t belong to him.
