Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 362 Troublemaking (Part 4)

After Han Yi entered the hall, he looked around and saw that the gang members all had fierce eyes and were strong and powerful, staring at him like hungry wolves.

Meanwhile, the numerous gang leaders sitting in their seats were also surging with blood and qi, making no attempt to suppress their killing intent.

And the person sitting at the very front.

There was a large knife on his right. Just looking at his upper body, it was a good half a head taller than him. His face was ferocious and fierce, his black hair was like a mad lion's mane, and his muscles were firm and strong. His whole body was as hard as an iron tower.

"A distinguished disciple of Jingtian Manor's inner courtyard, I've long admired you." Lin Zhenwei remained motionless, his voice deep and resonant. "I am Lin Zhenwei, the Mad Lion, and I am quite well-known in this small corner of Baiqiaofang."

I have had dealings with several of my fellow students from your esteemed institution and we have developed a considerable relationship. What brings you here today?

If you encounter any difficulties, and there's anything I, Lin, can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask.

"Chief Lin, it's an honor to meet you." Han Yi said without any politeness, sitting down opposite Lin Zhenwei with an air of superiority. "I am Han Yi from Jingtian Manor, Jiuqu Courtyard."

"This trip isn't about anything major. When the shops in Plum Blossom Pavilion are open for business as usual, there are often people causing trouble. Does Chief Lin know who's behind this?"

He didn't waste any words and asked directly.

"Plum Blossom Pavilion? Sabotage?" Lin Zhenwei was taken aback and looked at Vice Leader Xu Feng. "Old Xu, have you heard about this?"

"Reporting to the gang leader, I'm not aware of this matter either. I guess Plum Blossom Pavilion encountered some business competition; such tactics are usually used by competitors," Xu Feng quickly replied. "At least, our Mad Lion Gang has nothing to do with this."

"I see." Lin Zhenwei nodded, then looked at Han Yi again. "Brother Han, as you've heard, our Mad Lion Gang is unaware of what happened at Plum Blossom Pavilion."

Perhaps Plum Blossom Pavilion has offended someone it shouldn't have, or perhaps a business rival is sabotaging it. Brother Han, why don't you consider another approach?"

"Are you sure it's okay?" Han Yi narrowed his eyes.

"It's alright." Lin Zhenwei nodded. "Although our Mad Lion Gang is not very powerful, we have a lot of rules and regulations. We strive to ensure that every disciple has lofty ambitions and does not do anything that harms the people of the city for a little bit of petty gain."

So, this kind of petty theft and underhanded dealings... sounds like the style of the Green Snake Gang next door. Brother Han, if you're interested, you might want to go and find them.”

"It really wasn't you guys who did it?"

"No." "Swear?"

"I, Lin Zhenwei, swear to the heavens that if the Plum Blossom Pavilion incident has anything to do with my Mad Lion Gang, may I, Lin, choke on my water, run into a brick wall, have my ancestral graves burn down, and have my son die a violent death!"

Lin Zhenwei pointed to the sky, his expression sincere, earnest, and upright.

"Chief Lin, it seems that perhaps I, Han, have misunderstood you. This matter truly seems to have nothing to do with the Mad Lion Gang..."

Hearing Lin Zhenwei make such a solemn oath, Han Yi's expression softened slightly.

There aren't many small gangs around Plum Blossom Pavilion, and the Mad Lion Gang is the strongest among them, and also the most suspicious.

"That's right, Brother Han, you can ask around. I, Lin Zhenwei, am an upright man who does things honestly and with integrity. I would never stoop to doing such trivial and despicable things."

Our most common job is maintaining order for shops and businesses, earning a small tip for doing so. Why would we go and cause damage?

Lin Zhenwei patted his chest and laughed heartily, speaking with righteous indignation. "Is that so..." Han Yi nodded, "I was very rude just now, please forgive me."

"It's alright. People are treacherous in this world. It's normal to have some minor misunderstandings after all the ups and downs," Lin Zhenwei smiled and stood up to see his guest out.

After seeing Han Yi walk out of the hall, he turned around and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What kind of elite disciples of Jingtian Manor's inner court? Didn't I fool them too?" He walked briskly.

"The boss is mighty!"

"Brother Lin is both wise and brave!"

Many gang members cheered for him in hushed tones.

Deputy gang leader Xu Feng also quietly gave him a thumbs up.

"Haha, I told you long ago. My reputation as Boss Lin wasn't earned by brute force alone. You can't just kill a little brat who hasn't even grown a beard yet..." He had a smug smile on his face and was about to sit down.

"Chief Lin?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from his right.

"?"

Lin Zhenwei was so frightened that he involuntarily shuddered and looked to his right.

On the right side of the hall, a man's face can be vaguely seen in the window.

The window has two layers: an inner layer of paper windowpane and an outer layer of thick, solid hardwood window frame.

With a snap, the window was opened halfway, revealing Han Yi's puzzled expression.

"So it's Brother Han... You haven't left yet?" Lin Zhenwei forced a smile.

"No, I suddenly remembered something," Han Yi said seriously. "I remember, Chief Lin doesn't seem to have any sons, only two daughters? How come...?"

"Oh, you mean this..." Lin Zhenwei suddenly realized, and laughed loudly, "Brother Han, you don't know, when I was young, I made too many enemies, and because of this, I committed a lot of killings..."

Therefore, my precious son was someone my wife and I prayed for at Xiling Buddhist Temple, and he was born a while ago.

This isn't about being afraid of getting into trouble or keeping it secret from outsiders…

He gave a wry smile and pleaded, "Brother Han, please forgive me. I'm only telling you this, please don't tell anyone else!"

"I see." Han Yi said thoughtfully, then suddenly looked up. "Brother Lin, your voice is so loud, didn't others hear you already...?"

He looked around the hall and saw a circle of disciples sitting, standing, and listening intently.

“This…” Lin Zhenwei broke out in a cold sweat, but quickly reacted, “It’s alright, it’s alright. These are all our brothers. They know, so there’s no problem.”

"So now that I know about this, does that mean I'm your brother too?" Han Yi smiled.

“Of course, Brother Han, I felt an instant connection with you the moment I saw you. Why don’t you stay here tonight? I’ll make arrangements for you. It just so happens that two beautiful young ladies have come to the Glass Flower Shop next door.” Lin Zhenwei also expressed his goodwill.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Brother Lin." Han Yi made a move to step forward. "Brother Lin, does your sect have any female disciples?"

"?"

Lin Zhenwei's smile froze. He had only intended to be polite, but he hadn't expected this person to be so shameless.

It's one thing to force them to stay here, but to make the women of the Mad Lion Gang serve them?

Are there really such lecherous people in this world?
