Chapter 281: Chapter 280: I Owe You a Favor

Li Rou continued to walk towards Lin Fan.

Finally, arriving not far from the other side of Lin Fan, Li Rou quietly stared at him. However, in her eyes, there seemed to be a hint of silent resentment.

Of course, the silent resentment in Li Rou’s eyes was very faint, so it was not easy for others to notice under normal circumstances.

But...

How keen were Lin Fan’s eyes? So naturally, he noticed it.

Lin Fan was quite puzzled in his heart, thinking to himself: "What’s going on? Why does Sister Rou look at me with resentment in her eyes? But... I don’t think I have ever offended her!"

To tell the truth, Lin Fan felt very uneasy being looked at by Li Rou like this.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ultimately with no other choice, Lin Fan could only cough dryly a couple of times, then said somewhat unnaturally: "Sister Rou, hello there, we... didn’t expect to meet here!"

Li Rou came back to her senses, nodded, and said: "Yes, it’s unexpected to meet like this, but... as soon as we meet, I stop you from killing someone, I really feel apologetic!"

"This..."

Lin Fan didn’t know what to say!

Li Rou then said: "These two good-for-nothing guys, they are my cousins, Lin Fan, for my sake, can you spare them this once? Of course, if they dare to offend you in the future, you can kill them anytime, how about that?"

Lin Fan forced a bitter smile, saying: "Since Sister Rou, you have already said this, what else can I say? I’ll spare them this time!"

"Thank you!"

Li Rou nodded and said: "This time, I owe you a favor! I’ll take my leave!"

After saying her piece, Li Rou turned around and left immediately!

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment because he felt that he still had things he wanted to say to Li Rou, but she just left like that?

So, Lin Fan was somewhat surprised.

As for Liu Jiang and Liu Yun, these two guys, they too rapidly followed Li Rou and left.

Although these two guys really wanted to kill Lin Fan in their hearts, they knew that the gap in strength between themselves and Lin Fan was just too great, so they dared not take rash action.

Lin Fan stared blankly at Li Rou’s retreating figure.

Intuition told Lin Fan that there was something odd about Li Rou, but what exactly was odd, he couldn’t quite pinpoint it at the moment.

"So, you’re called Lin Fan?"

At that moment, Luo Xiaoling’s voice echoed in Lin Fan’s ears: "Did you deceive me before?"

After Li Rou called Lin Fan by his name, Luo Xiaoling overhead it, so now she knew Lin Fan’s real name.

"This..."

Lin Fan felt somewhat embarrassed and said: "I didn’t mean to deceive you, it really is that... I have a very powerful enemy, and to evade that enemy, I had no choice but to do this."

After hearing Lin Fan’s explanation, Luo Xiaoling’s face showed a smile, saying: "Alright then, in that case, I’ll forgive you!"

After a pause, Luo Xiaoling added: "By the way, Brother Lin Fan, that woman just now, she likes you!"

"What?"

Lin Fan was stunned, then said: "Don’t talk nonsense!"

Luo Xiaoling shook her head and said: "I’m not talking nonsense, she really likes you, I can tell from her eyes!"

Lin Fan couldn’t help but space out once again.

But soon after, Lin Fan shook his head and said: "That’s impossible!"

Luo Xiaoling said: "You don’t believe it? You should know, I’m also a woman, you should trust a woman’s intuition, it’s very accurate."

Lin Fan didn’t say anything, but in his mind, he recalled how Li Rou had treated him, and couldn’t help but feel more confused: "Could it be, Sister Rou really likes me? That’s kind of unexpected!"

Luo Xiaoling smiled again and then said: "Alright, let’s go, to my place!"

Lin Fan nodded, and the two headed off in a direction.

Within the Imperial City, there was a bustle of carriages and horses, with numerous tall buildings, and Lin Fan noticed that the city was truly filled with experts.

In other cities, cultivators of the Heavenly Profound Realm were considered rather impressive, at least having some capability to protect themselves, but in this Imperial City, such cultivators were not worth mentioning at all. In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that in this city, the cultivators of the Heavenly Profound Realm were at the bottom, and perhaps only Transcendent-level experts could barely protect themselves.

In his heart, Lin Fan couldn’t help but think: "There are just too many experts in this Imperial City; I must quickly enhance my strength. At the very least, I need to increase my combat power to the Transcendent level within the shortest time possible. With my current combat power, I am being bullied everywhere!"

Luo Xiaoling was following beside Lin Fan and was actually always paying attention to his situation. At this time, Luo Xiaoling asked, "Brother Lin Fan, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Fan snapped back to reality and shook his head, saying, "It’s nothing!"

Knowing that Lin Fan didn’t want to elaborate, Luo Xiaoling didn’t press further.

However, Luo Xiaoling couldn’t help becoming even more curious about Lin Fan, thinking to herself: "Who exactly is this guy from? His cultivation isn’t high, yet his combat power is incredibly strong? It’s truly incredible... He’s really like a mystery!"

Meanwhile, after walking a great distance, Li Rou suddenly stopped, then slowly turned around, her pair of cold eyes fixed on the two.

---

The two of them couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts when they saw the look in Li Rou’s eyes.

"Sister Rou!"

In the end, Liu Yun called out with some concern.

"Just now, I really didn’t want to save you. It would be better if you were killed!" Li Rou said coldly.

"This... Sister Rou, you shouldn’t be so heartless, I..." Liu Yun said.

Li Rou interrupted Liu Yun’s words and continued coldly, "Don’t talk nonsense. I don’t want to hear it either. I’m warning you two now, better not provoke Lin Fan in the future. You can’t afford to offend him. If you really do, no one can save you. Perhaps, even your Liu Family might suffer."

"Ah?"

Liu Yun and Liu Jiang were both shocked to the extreme after hearing Li Rou’s words.

Liu Jiang couldn’t help asking, "Sister Rou, does Lin Fan have some incredible background?"

"Don’t ask anything. Just remember, you cannot afford to offend him!" Li Rou said again, "Alright, that’s all I have to say. As for what to do, it’s up to you two!"

After finishing her words, Li Rou then left directly.

"Sister Rou!"

Liu Yun called out, intending to follow, but was stopped by Liu Jiang.

Liu Yun looked at Liu Jiang and asked, "Second Brother, why are you holding me back?"

Liu Jiang did not reply to Liu Yun’s question but asked instead, "Big Brother. did you notice?"

Liu Yun was stunned and asked, "Notice what?"

Liu Jiang sighed helplessly and said, "Big Brother, you really are blinded by love. Do you only have eyes for Sister Rou? Perhaps, when Sister Rou is around, you can’t see anything else, right?"

Liu Yun said somewhat embarrassingly, "Second Brother, stop talking nonsense. What did you mean by what you just said? Tell me quickly!"

"Sigh!"

Liu Jiang sighed again and said, "Didn’t you realize it? Sister Rou likes Lin Fan!"

"What?"

Liu Yun was greatly shocked, then said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Sister Rou would never like that guy!"

"Sigh!"

Liu Jiang continued to sigh and said, "Big Brother, whether you believe it or not, the fact is that Sister Rou really likes him!"

Liu Yun fell silent.

Thinking back to everything that had just happened, it really seemed to be the case?

"No!"

Liu Yun became furiously angry and said, "Sister Rou actually likes that bastard? I must kill him, kill him..."

A murderous aura began to emanate from Liu Yun.

At this moment, Liu Yun had almost lost his reason.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Liu Yun was a very talented genius, as well as extremely skilled in scheming for power, to the point that some called him the young Zhuge Liang of his generation.

But once it involved Li Rou, Liu Yun’s IQ would plummet to zero, which is why he was so impulsive now.

"Big Brother!"

Liu Jiang quickly tried to stop Liu Yun, said helplessly, "Big Brother, you’re usually such a smart person. How come your IQ drops to zero the moment it involves Sister Rou?"

Liu Yun didn’t speak but tried to calm his emotions.

Liu Yun thought to himself, "Second Brother is right. I need to calm down. If I’m this impulsive, not only will I fail to win over Sister Rou, but she might even come to dislike me more!"

"Hu!"

Then, Liu Yun let out a long breath and looked at Liu Jiang saying, "Second Brother, continue speaking!"

Liu Jiang glanced at Liu Yun and, knowing that Liu Yun had mostly calmed down, said, "Big Brother, didn’t Sister Rou already mention it? That guy has a powerful backing. We can’t afford to offend him. If you act rashly, our Liu Family might suffer losses. Moreover, neither of us is a match for him!"

Liu Yun nodded and said, "Second Brother, you’re right. I was really impulsive just now. Don’t worry, I will first investigate that kid. Let’s find out his identity before we act!"

This time Liu Jiang nodded.

...

Luo Xiaoling led Lin Fan directly to a dilapidated village on the outskirts of the Imperial City, laughing as she said, "We’re here!"

"We’re here?"

Lin Fan was startled and asked, "This is the location of your Luo Family?"

On the way, Lin Fan had heard from Luo Xiaoling that in the Imperial City, the influence of the Luo Family was considered quite substantial, barely regarded as a mid-tier power. Originally, Lin Fan thought that the Luo Family’s residence would certainly be filled with palaces, and might even be situated atop a Dragon Eye, with the family maintaining its prosperity through the continual absorption of Dragon Qi.

But Lin Fan never dreamed that the Luo Family would be located in such a dilapidated village?

This was completely beyond Lin Fan’s expectations!
