Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 469: Slander

Lin Zhendong, upon hearing these words, slammed his palm onto the table and said with wide, angry eyes, "What! This animal dared to treat you so frivolously?"

Lin Xue said with shy grievance, "I didn’t expect he would do something so shameful. There were so many people on the plane at the time, and I was afraid to cause a scene; I was so nervous I almost died."

Lin Zhendong was unable to hold back his fury, trembling with anger as he grimly said, "This inhuman thing, how dare he bully my granddaughter! I had actually thought highly of him before; I must have been blind!"

"Xue, don’t be afraid, Grandpa will now gather the forces of the Martial Alliance to settle the account with that boy. If I don’t break his legs, then I don’t deserve to be the Leader of the Martial Alliance!"

When Chen Fan had won first place at the Martial Arts Tournament, his displayed strength was at the eighth level of the Transformation Realm. Later, his fame spread overseas after he killed Yun Tianluo, who was of the ninth level of the Transformation Realm. Thus, in everyone’s eyes, Chen Fan’s current strength could at most be of the ninth level of the Transformation Realm, since in such a short amount of time, not even the most monstrously talented genius could possibly break through to the Divine Realm.

As the Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, Lin Zhendong had already stepped into the ranks of the Divine Realm years ago, so in his view, it would be a piece of cake to deal with a little fellow at the ninth level of the Transformation Realm.

Seeing how worked up Lin Zhendong was, Lin Xue hurriedly spoke, "Grandpa, please calm down. Although your granddaughter was bullied, there’s no need for you to be so angry. After all, if Chen Fan hadn’t been there on the plane, who knows what might have happened to me... and besides... I actually have quite a liking for Chen Fan; I’m not very opposed to his behavior."

Lin Zhendong replied irritably, "Even so, he shouldn’t have humiliated my granddaughter in public like that. I must find him to get an explanation for this matter!"

Feeling that the situation was about right, Lin Xue quickly said, "Grandpa, if you really want him to give an explanation, then why not let him join our Martial Arts Alliance? Although he has a bit of a bad side, his strength and talent are both top-notch, a rare talent indeed. And since your granddaughter has a bit of a crush on him, if he became my boyfriend, then what he did would be no big deal."

Lin Zhendong looked at his granddaughter helplessly, thinking to himself that she was too simple-minded, too naive, still feeling fond of that beast even after being abused by him. This would surely lead to a great loss.

However, considering that Chen Fan’s strength and talent were indeed rare, his joining the Martial Arts Alliance would be a huge asset, and he was certainly a match for his granddaughter.

Thus, he sighed and said, "Since you’re pleading for him like this, I’ll give him a chance. Xue, you’re just too kind-hearted. If you really end up with this Chen Fan, you’ll definitely be the one to suffer in the future."

Lin Xue said with a coy smile, "It’s alright for a girl like Xue to suffer a little disadvantage; Grandpa shouldn’t worry too much."

Lin Zhendong shook his head helplessly, feeling that it was his over-protectiveness that had made Lin Xue so agreeable and unaware of the darkness of human hearts.

He thought for a moment and then said, "If I remember correctly, Li Chengfeng has dealt with Chen Fan before. Let’s have him talk to Chen Fan about this."

Lin Xue nodded and immediately ordered someone to call Li Chengfeng over.

Lin Zhendong told Li Chengfeng about the good deed Chen Fan had done.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng’s eyes popped with disbelief, thinking to himself that Chen Fan didn’t seem like that kind of person. What would possess him to do such a thing?

Chen Fan was really being foolish!

Lin Zhendong said coldly, "Go tell Chen Fan that if he is willing to join our Martial Alliance, I’ll let this matter slide. But if he refuses, then he will have to consider whether he can withstand the wrath of our Martial Alliance."

Li Chengfeng nodded, "Yes, I will find a way to contact Chen Fan right away."

Afterwards, he turned and walked outside.

Watching his departing figure, Lin Xue’s bright eyes filled with a touch of mockery, "Hmph, dared to refuse my invitation, this time I want to see if you still dare to refuse!"

...

Mu Mansion.

Achoo~

Chen Fan sneezed.

A puzzled expression appeared on his face. Now that his strength had been restored, he should be immune to trivialities like colds, so why would he suddenly sneeze out of nowhere?

"Could it be the aftereffects of that black-robed person’s palm strike?"

"The power of the black-robed person is indeed terrifying, I must enhance my strength as soon as possible."

Without giving it another thought, Chen Fan entered a state of cultivation and began to practice.

The next morning.

After a quick tidy up, Chen Fan planned to visit the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance to check if the divine pill from Lin Zhendong’s family was a Demon Beast’s Inner Core. If it was, he would try to get his hands on it.

"I wonder if Lin Zhendong would be willing to give up the divine pill; if not, I’ll have to offer him some extra benefits."

He walked out of Mu Mansion, and just as he stepped out the gate, he saw a familiar figure approaching.

"Li Chengfeng? What’s he doing here?" Chen Fan wondered with slight confusion.

As Li Chengfeng saw Chen Fan, his eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over, saying, "Chen Fan, long time no see, it’s good that I found you."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I was just about to visit the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance too. What do you need me for, Li?"

Li Chengfeng looked at Chen Fan helplessly and said, "You’re going to our headquarters and still asking me why I’m looking for you? Aren’t you just feigning confusion?"

Chen Fan had a confused look, "What do you mean, Li?"

Li Chengfeng thought to himself that this was getting uninteresting, so he asked directly, "You’re heading to our headquarters... to apologize, right?"

Chen Fan was even more puzzled, "Apologize for what?"

Li Chengfeng’s eyes widened; he felt that Chen Fan was definitely playing dumb on purpose.

Taking into account that Chen Fan might find the situation embarrassing and didn’t want to speak about it, he did not press further and changed the subject, saying, "Never mind, never mind, it’s nothing. Since you’re going to our headquarters, let’s go together then."

Following that, Li Chengfeng took Chen Fan with him toward the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance.

Throughout the journey, Chen Fan was in a fog, clueless as to what was happening with Li Chengfeng.

Soon, the two arrived at the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance.

Li Chengfeng led Chen Fan into Lin Zhendong’s study.

Lin Zhendong and Lin Xue were there waiting.

Li Chengfeng said, "Leader Lin, Chen Fan is here."

Chen Fan greeted politely, "Leader Lin, I’ve long admired..."

Lin Zhendong glared at him, "Cut the pleasantries with me!"

Chen Fan frowned, "Leader Lin, why such a reaction?"

Seeing Chen Fan acting as if nothing was wrong, Lin Zhendong’s anger erupted, shouting, "Are you playing dumb with me? Do you genuinely not understand why I’m upset? Have you forgotten what you took from my granddaughter!"

After thinking for a bit, Chen Fan took out the "towel" Lin Xue had given him from the Heavenly Creation Pearl and asked, "Is this what you’re referring to, Leader Lin?"

Lin Zhendong’s eyes bulged as he stared at the pink "towel", then he burst into curses, "You beast, carrying it around with you. Do you really like my granddaughter’s intimate item that much? Shame on you!"
