The Strongest System - chapter-1040

issue did not matter to him.

However, Zhou Jun and Wang Yun were feeling extremely nervous in their
hearts, frightened beyond words. If Senior Brother Lin had scolded or
whacked them, they might have felt a sense of relief. But now that Senior
Brother Lin was expressionless without saying anything to them, it had
them feeling extremely panicked.

“Son, how come there was no news from you for the past three years?” Lin
Haoming asked. Even though there was no intention of blaming, he still
felt a little grievance in his heart. If there had been some news for the
past three years, he wouldn’t have been so worried.

He naturally knew about the rumors that were spreading outside. However,
he did not choose to believe in any of them in his heart. At times, he
felt pretty helpless as well. After all, there had not been a single peep
from Lin Fan for the past three years! Even if he had wanted to refute
those rumors, he had to have some evidence to do so.

Lin Fan chuckled out, “I was training outside and met with some stuff.
Hence, I didn’t have the chance to get back at all.”

Lin Haoming nodded his head. Anyway, he was in a pretty good mood right
now, “So, that’s the reason. But, you’ve got to watch out, alright? And,
come back to check on us often as well!”

“Yes.” Lin Fan nodded his head.

The other seven Family Heads surrounding them were all smiles as they ate
and drank without any hesitation. From time to time, their gazes would
sweep across the people who were kneeling on the ground right now.

Huehue!

Acting tough in front of them and wanting them to be their servants? They
could just look where things were now! Now that Young Master Lin was
back, no matter how tough these guys wanted to act, they still had to
kneel there obediently without daring to make even a single sound!

However, Lin Fan was the one they were most impressed with. To think that
he would have gotten to such a state in just three mere years! This was
practically enough to have gods and ghosts crying over!

Grandmaster Candidate! How incredible was that! In fact, they were even
thinking what would happen if the Young Master Lin went on to be the
future Grandmaster of the Heaven and Earth Sect one day!

If he really became the Grandmaster, that would be absolutely outrageous!
The entire Lin Family would just skyrocket into the Heavens!

In fact, even their own families would not lack in terms of the benefits
received. The mere thought of that was getting them a little excited
right now.

To think that a tiny little Rising Dragon City could raise the
Grandmaster of a big sect! From now on, the Rising Dragon City was going
to be famous around the entire Endless Mainland!

“Big Brother…”

At this moment, there was a crisp, clean voice coming from outside,
seeming to be rushing in quickly.

Lin Fan looked over as his lips curled into a grin.

Lin Lan’er had been in her house, feeling extremely terrible the entire
time. The people who had followed her Big Sister home this time around
did not make her feel good at all. In fact, she was even detesting them.

However, the other party was too strong and had a high status. They
weren’t people she could afford to offend. Therefore, she ran straight
into the house since she would feel no evil if she saw no evil.

But, after the servants came to inform that the Young Master Lin had
returned, it uplifted Lin Lan’er’s mood tremendously.

Her own Big Brother was home…!

Lin Lan’er was not the only one who had arrived; there was Lin Feixue as
well. And at the same time, Mrs. Lin was also rushing in while feeling
exceptionally emotional. After not seeing her own child for the past
three years, she was naturally feeling hollow in her heart.

But when Lin Lan’er entered the house, she was absorbed by the sight
before her.

It was especially eye-catching for Lin Lan’er to see the fella she
detested the most, Ning Tiekun, just kneeling down there. That had her
feeling pretty bewildered.

“Little Sister.” Lin Fan spoke up, indicating for her to sit down.

Mrs. Lin and Lin Feixue headed up to ask about Lin Fan as well. Through
the conversation he had, Lin Fan felt that it was really quite a nice
feeling to have a family at times.

“Big Brother, what are they doing?” Lin Lan’er asked.

“They’re just wrongdoers.” Lin Fan replied indifferently, totally
unbothered with them.

“Oh!” Lin Lan’er nodded her head and let out a bright smile.

Kneeling there, Ning Tiekun and the others did not feel even a single bit
of anger. Their hearts were only filled with fear. They were truly afraid
right now.

Even though he was the son of the Grandmaster of the Metal Sword Sect,
the difference between the Metal Sword Sect and the Heaven and Earth Sect
was as great as the one between Heaven and Earth themselves. There was no
way to compare them at all.

Not only that, the identity of the other party was that of the
Grandmaster Candidate of the Heaven and Earth Sect! Compared to his own
status, that was way, way higher!

The hearts of the three senior sisters of Lin Hanyu were long surging
with tidal waves. They could not believe that Junior Sister Lin Hanyu’s
younger brother would be this incredible!

In the past, they naturally knew that Junior Sister Lin Hanyu had a
younger brother who had entered the Heaven and Earth Sect. But even then,
they did not bother too much about it.

How big was the Heaven and Earth Sect, and how intense was the
competition within it? If one wanted to stand out on top there, it was a
task that was more difficult than difficult.

Even in their small little sect, for example, it was already extremely
difficult if one wanted to make a name for themselves, let alone the
Heaven and Earth Sect.

Therefore, they did not get overly concerned with Junior Sister Lin’s
younger brother. To them, he was probably just a small nobody in the
sect, someone without much of a status.

But right now, they truly understood the situation. They were totally
wrong about everything! Not only did Junior Sister Lin’s younger brother
have a status in the sect, his status was one that could even shock
people to death!

Grandmaster Candidate! Even if he headed over to their sect, their own
Grandmaster would have to greet him respectfully without daring to get
brazen in the slightest bit!

…

When Ning Tiekun looked at how Lin Fan was all smiles toward his family
members and the seven Family Heads, he had assumed that the other party
must have been appeased by now. This little life of his should be safe.

But Zhou Jun and Wang Yun felt that things would definitely not end up
being so simple.

How could Senior Brother Lin spare them so easily?

BAM!

BAM!

The thudding sounds of their kowtowing got even louder. That was because
in their minds, they could tell that a storm was coming.

Once Senior Brother Lin and his family were done with their meal, it
would perhaps be time for him to lay judgment on them!

…

After some time, Lin Fan placed down the utensils in his hands.

The other Family Heads were a little high through drinking now, the main
reason being that they were absolutely ecstatic. The commoners outside
had been waiting for a long time as well, and were getting particularly
excited at this moment.

“What do you guys think Young Master Lin is going to do to these fellas?”

“I’ve got no idea. But, I don’t think that they’ll be let off so easily.”

“It’s not as though he is going to kill them, right? That man seems to be
the son of the Grandmaster of some sect, with quite a distinguished
status. No matter how high Young Master Lin’s status in his sect is, he
shouldn’t want to kill the other party, should he?”

“That’s hard to say.”

“Eh? Take a look…”

At this moment, Lin Fan rose up and walked beside Zhou Jun and Wang Yun.

“Senior brother! Please spare our lives! We really know that we’re in the
wrong now!”

Zhou Jun and Wang Yun cried out tragically. They were truly afraid, and
their heads were still banging down furiously. The sounds were getting
even louder, echoing out reverberatingly.

They could only hope that on account of being in the same sect, Senior
Brother Lin would be gracious and spare them this one time.

At the same time, they bore an intense hatred toward Ning Tiekun right
now. If not for this fella, they would not have had something like this
happening to them!

Bloody hell! Even if he wanted to die, why the hell did he have to
implicate them?

To think that he would head over to Senior Brother Lin’s house to act
tough! Not only that, he even had Senior Brother Lin’s family members
work as his servants! Wasn’t that just bloody looking for death?

Looking at the three of them, Lin Fan’s lips curled into a grin.
