Facing the third cooperation plan proposed by the Zhao family, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a little moved.
However, he did not rush to make a choice.
After all, it had only been a morning and dozens of aristocratic families had extended invitations to him, and there would definitely be more to come.
He planned to take a look at the conditions offered by each company in order to make the best choice.
He took a sip of Lingcha and said, "The conditions offered by the Zhao family are indeed very good, but I would like to ask Master Zhao to give me some time and let me think about it carefully."
"No problem. My nephew has thought about it and can inform me or other members of the Zhao family at any time. I still have to return my message to the clan, so I won't stay as a guest." Zhao Yingjian stood up and said.
"Then I'll send Uncle Zhao off." Lin Fan also stood up and sent him all the way to the outside of the island.
After he returned to the living room, before his butt was still hot, he saw Black Bear coming to report again: "Fellow Daoist Lin, there is a man named Zhang Yu outside. He said he wanted to see something."
"Zhang Yu? Zhang family?"
The moment he heard this surname, he recalled Senior Brother Gu Huan and Zhang Pingyuan who died in his hands.
Thinking back to the beginning, foundation-building families like the Zhang family were still something he could never afford to offend.
But now, with the aura of a genius alchemist, he no longer takes an ordinary foundation-building family seriously.
It is naturally impossible to cooperate with the Zhang family, but this scene still needs to be done.
"Bring this person here." After telling Black Bear, he waited quietly in the living room.
A moment later, a middle-aged monk appeared outside the door and said, "Inner disciple Zhang Yu has met Master Lin."
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Zhang, please take a seat." Lin Fan showed no intention of getting up to greet him. He sat on a stool and said while sipping tea.
He has been in the Upper House for more than 40 years, and his state has reached the middle stage of opening the pulse.
Therefore, no matter in terms of age or level, he is much higher than the other party.
Logically speaking, the other party should call him senior brother no matter what, but the other party just called him junior brother.
That's all. After all, the other party is a genius in alchemy, so it's normal to be a little arrogant.
But when he appeared, the other party didn't stand up to greet him, which he couldn't bear.
After all, he is not representing himself this time, but representing the entire Zhang family.
No matter what the other party says, he can't be so rude!
He was so angry that he wanted to take action immediately so that he could educate the rude man in Tsing Yi in front of him.
But thinking of the various instructions given by the family head before leaving, he still held back.
After he sat down, he took out a jade slip and said, "I come here with sincerity on behalf of the Zhang family. This is the cooperation plan we provide. I also ask Master Lin to take a look at it."
Lin Fan faced the jade slip handed over by the other party without even looking at it. He waved his hand directly and said: "I am not interested in your Zhang family's proposal."
At this time, Zhang Yu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He stood up and asked, "What does Master Lin mean by this? Has my Zhang family done anything to offend you?"
"Really? Oh... let me think about it. I can only blame you for stepping out with your left foot instead of your right foot when you entered the door just now, which made me feel bad," Lin Fan said.
"You——!" Zhang Yu said.
"What? Could it be that Junior Brother Zhang is planning to take action here?" Lin Fan sneered.
Seeing the ridiculous appearance of the other party who was clearly furious but still trying to suppress it, he immediately laughed out loud.
"If you don't have the guts, just take your jade slips and get out of here!"
"Fellow Taoist Xiong, see the guests off!"
Black Bear who was waiting outside the door heard the summons and rushed out, saying: "What are you doing, fellow Daoist Zhang, standing there in a daze? Please come."
"Huh!" Zhang Yu suppressed the anger in his heart and slammed the door angrily.
After Zhang Yu walked away, Black Bear asked with some confusion: "Junior brother Lin, this family is also a foundation-building family after all. Isn't it bad if you don't give him face like this?"
"Fellow Daoist Xiong, there are some things that are not yet time to tell you. All you need to know now is that we and this
It doesn't matter if the family is an enemy and not a friend." Lin Fan said.
"It turns out they are enemies, then I understand."
"However, there's one thing I'm not sure about."
"Looking at Zhang Yu's expression, the Zhang family probably doesn't know that they have a grudge against fellow Daoist Lin. Why doesn't Fellow Daoist Lin develop quietly and wait until you advance to the foundation building stage before attacking the Zhang family? Now it's hard for Zhang.
Of course it makes me happy, but wouldn’t it be a warning to others?”
"I originally had the same idea as you and didn't intend to embarrass the Zhang family."
"But as soon as Zhang Yu entered the door, I recalled that Senior Brother Gu Huan was persecuted by the Zhang family, and I really couldn't swallow the bad breath in my heart!"
"As the saying goes, every man fights for his breath, and a tree lives for his skin. With my current situation, I no longer need to be afraid of this family, so naturally I don't want to be a coward and endure it any longer!"
When he said this, Lin Fan was like a ferocious tiger coming out of custody, his murderous intent clearly revealed!
The black bear felt Lin Fan's monstrous murderous intent and shuddered in fear.
He recalled that after following Lin Fan, he witnessed his rapid rise along the way.
Especially when the other party acts, he will never be merciful.
I couldn't help but secretly think in my heart: "This Zhang family has actually offended Fellow Daoist Lin, I'm afraid they are not far from being destroyed."
…
the other side.
After Zhang Yu returned to the Zhang family, he truthfully reported Lin Fan's actions to the clan leader.
After the clan leader asked Zhang Yu to step aside, he called several elders in the clan and began to discuss matters related to Lin Fan.
"I called all the elders to come here today because I have something to tell you." The patriarch said, relaying Zhang Yu's words to the other elders word for word.
"Patriarch, according to what you said, our Zhang family must have some grudge against this Lin Fan. Otherwise, the other party's behavior will be completely unreasonable."
"I have sent people to investigate this matter to see if anyone else in the clan has offended Lin Fan."
"As for the outcome, it is nothing more than yes or no. Calling you all to come and discuss it is the best way to prepare for it in advance."
"After all, Lin Fan is not a simple disciple of the Bloodyang Sect. He is a genius in alchemy, and there is a high probability that he will become a disciple of a certain Zifu monk, or even directly join a certain Zifu.
Aristocratic family."
"If we don't handle it properly, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the family."
After hearing this, all the elders looked very ugly.
The second elder stood up and said: "If we don't have deep grievances with this person and can reconcile it, that would be best. If not, we can only deal with this person in advance..."
As he said this, the second elder made a gesture of wiping his neck, the meaning of which was obvious.
"No! If you rashly use a highly-regarded alchemy genius, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to our Zhang family!"
"Just because this person is a genius in alchemy, we must act decisively and early. Otherwise, it will be too late after he becomes the disciple of a certain Zifu Pavilion Master."
The great elder said: "Okay, it's too early to discuss these now. Let's wait for the results to come out before making a decision."
