A great battle, like a bomb dropped into the stagnant fish pond of Jicheng, instantly revealed all the big shots in the city.
The battle ended, with Senior Brother emerging victorious.
Professor Wang was filled with shame. He was older and more experienced, yet he had lost to Senior Brother, leaving him with a sense of unwillingness.
However, when he thought that his opponent was, after all, a direct disciple of the Sword God Li Qinglian, he reluctantly accepted it.
Who in the human race didn't know Li Qinglian? He was a living legend, having transformed from a mere B-grade talent all the way to the current SS-grade, his combat power being second to none among humans. He guarded the Guixu and made outstanding contributions to the human race.
It was understandable that the disciple of such an existence had defeated him. After coming to terms with it, he cupped his hands and said, "It is my fault for being less skilled. I promise I will not try to recruit Lin Yu anymore. Farewell!" With that, he flew away like a wild goose, disappearing from sight in an instant.
Senior Brother sheathed his sword and picked up the wine gourd at his waist, taking a long gulp. His gaze swept over a few sneaky figures.
"You, want to drink?" Senior Brother looked up at the moon, the wind ruffling his hair, the moonlight casting a powerful aura on him.
The arrivals were none other than the City Lord of Jicheng, the patriarchs of various families, and the principal of the school. They had come to curry favor.
The City Lord, being the highest authority here, respectfully said, "No, no, no, we were wondering if there's anything you need us to do? We can prepare it for you!"
Senior Brother pointed to the sky and said profoundly, "Go and pluck the bright moon for me, how about that?"
Huh?
Everyone was utterly bewildered. The next moment, Senior Brother had vanished from their sight.
"What did he mean by that?"
"Clearly, he doesn't want to deal with us."
"And he's not accepting our gifts, probably because he looks down on them!"
"I think he doesn't want us to bother him, and it's also a warning."
"Alas, the temperaments of the strong are often peculiar. Let's all be careful and not upset this great one, understood?"
"This is the disciple of the Sword God himself. Who dares to offend him? As for that Lin Yu..."
Everyone looked at the Li family patriarch. The Li family patriarch's face changed drastically, sweat beaded on his forehead, and his body trembled slightly. He said, "It's all my unfilial son's fault. I will definitely make him go to Lin Yu to plead guilty!"
The Liu family patriarch chuckled, "Since there's already a feud, how can it be so easily forgiven?"
The Li family patriarch gritted his teeth, "I am willing to give one-third of my family fortune to Lin Yu!"
One-third of his family fortune was an astronomical sum.
The City Lord nodded, "Well, since you have such intentions, hurry up and prepare. Don't upset that great one."
"Yes!" the Li family patriarch replied.
The City Lord suddenly remembered something and looked at the principal of the Second High School, "I recall your Second High School owes Lin Yu fifty million star coins. Have you paid it back?"
The principal of the Second High School gave a wry smile. He had signed this fifty million without his knowledge. Shi Yifeng had caused the trouble, so why should he, the principal, bear the pressure? However, facing Lin Yu's strong backing, he could only endure it.
"I will go back and pay the money to him immediately, without any delay!" the principal of the Second High School gritted his teeth.
The City Lord nodded with satisfaction, "I am very pleased with your intentions!"
Everyone inwardly complained, they had no such intentions, they were all forced by you.
"Alright, disperse!"
Everyone dispersed.
Senior Brother was also quite exhausted after defeating Professor Wang. Upon returning to Lin Yu's residence, he collapsed on the sofa and began drinking. A drop of wine fell on the sofa, causing Lin Fan to exclaim.
"I say, Senior Brother, you have no decorum when drinking. You don't look like a wine god, but more like a drunkard!" Lin Fan quipped.
Senior Brother then noticed two Lin Yus in the room and asked, "Who is he?"
Before Lin Yu could speak, Lin Fan blurted out, "I am his twin brother, Lin Fan!"
Upon hearing that it was Lin Fan's brother, Senior Brother immediately lost interest and continued drinking.
Lin Yu was helpless and said, "Lin Fan, go buy some snacks. Senior Brother, you can't drink without food!"
"Fine, I'll listen to you. Lin Fan, go buy food quickly." Senior Brother urged.
Lin Fan pouted and went downstairs to buy groceries. Only Lin Yu and Senior Brother remained in the room.
Seeing Lin Fan leave, Senior Brother suddenly became serious, "Senior Brother and Professor Wang had a great battle and displayed our strength. Eighty percent of the forces in Jicheng will come to seek friendship with you. What are your plans?"
Jicheng had many forces. If they all came to befriend Lin Yu, Lin Yu was not averse to it, as a friend often meant a new path. However, this would consume a lot of his time, affecting his cultivation, and with popularity came trouble, not necessarily a good thing.
"I don't want to see them!" Lin Yu shook his head. "My priority now is to improve my strength. I will try my best to avoid these trivial matters. Give me a day, and I will handle it!"
Senior Brother nodded silently upon hearing this, then shook his head again, "Actually, Senior Brother has a suggestion for you. Are you willing to listen?"
"Senior Brother, please speak freely!"
"These people will definitely bring gifts when they come to befriend you. What Senior Brother means is, accept all of them!"
"Ah?"
"Don't be surprised. In fact, they are only seeking peace of mind. If you accept their gifts, you will also have some money to buy things you want, which can also improve your strength."
"I understand. Isn't this just stringing them along?"
"Don't say it so sarcastically. We are just increasing our income reasonably."
"Yes, yes, yes, Senior Brother, you are right."
At this moment, the door creaked open, and Lin Fan walked in, carrying a large amount of food.
"Whew, I'm exhausted. What were you two talking about so mysteriously?"
Senior Brother took the food and smiled, "We're moving to a bigger house!"
Lin Fan was overjoyed and almost jumped up, "Great! This house is so small, I'm afraid I'll break the roof if I stretch my arms!"
Lin Yu teased, "Do your arms have a telescopic function? Are you like Luffy?"
"Who is Luffy?" Senior Brother asked, confused.
"He's a rubber man, I saw him in a comic!" Lin Yu vaguely replied.
"Come, eat the food!"
While they were eating happily, the atmosphere elsewhere was somber.
The Li Family.
The third young master of the Li family and Li Yuan, with their backs bare and carrying thorns, their hands bound, walked towards Lin Yu's home with expressions of grief and indignation.
Behind them, the Li family patriarch sighed and clutched the asset transfer proof in his hand.
The Li family had been passed down for over two hundred years. Although they had not produced any exceptionally brilliant individuals, they were still a leading family in Jicheng.
However, they had provoked someone they shouldn't have. This was because of prolonged peace, and the clan members had become complacent.
Today, they could only grit their teeth and cut their losses, hoping to resolve this enmity!
Otherwise, it was uncertain whether the Li family could continue to exist. He knew deeply that rules were for the weak. The strong could break rules, and if they truly wanted to destroy the Li family, there were too many ways to do so.
On the other side.
The principal of the Second High School had finally persuaded the major leadership of the school to allocate funds to gather the fifty million star coins.
Although this move left the Second High School with extremely tight funds, it was a necessary step to establish a good relationship with Lin Yu.
Carrying the check for fifty million, he headed towards Lin Yu's home.
Not only him, but also the Liu family and other major families, had prepared generous gifts and were heading towards Lin Yu's home.
