What Lin Haishan and his wife did not expect was that three days later, Fang Qianqiu gave them another house to live in. In order to show his sincerity, he asked his subordinates to send the deed to them on the same day.
That house was three times the size of this small courtyard. It was magnificent and could be considered a first-class mansion in the entire Qingyang City.
This made them, including Xia Qiusheng, very confused.
They were flattered and even felt ashamed.
Regarding this, Lin Fan didn't explain, nor did he refuse. He brought his parents and uncle to move in.
The house was very close to the Fang family's ancestral home and the county government. The street where it was located was heavily guarded day and night. It could be said to be the safest place in Qingyang City.
This was the reason why Lin Fan moved there.
He didn't explain because he couldn't. He was very clear in his heart that the reason why Fang Qianqiu treated him like this wasn't because of how many achievements he had, nor was it because of how strong his cultivation was or how great his potential was. It was completely because he could save Fang Yuanxue.
After two more experiments, it was proven that every time Fang Yuanxue's demonic aura exploded and turned into a demon, she could recover as long as Lin Fan helped.
Fang Qianqiu did not allow Lin Fan to talk about this, so he naturally would not talk about it. Both of them had their own concerns, so they secretly reached a tacit agreement to keep their mouths shut.
Even the county magistrate, Tie Qingshan, did not know about this.
This was a blessing for the Fang family.
At least, Fang Yuanxue's tragedy was prevented.
Fang Qianqiu did not dare to imagine how he would treat his daughter after she turned into a demon. Would he imprison her, set her free, or kill her cruelly?
Just thinking about it made him scared.
Now, as long as Lin Fan was there, and as long as Lin Fan could help in time, Fang Yuanxue would not turn into a demon.
This was killing two birds with one stone for Lin Fan. He could continue to receive benefits from Fang Qianqiu, and he could continue to receive demonic aura.
At this time, his cultivation had improved again, and he had reached the Greater Mastery of the Bone Tempering Realm.
Now, he had a large amount of demonic aura and corpse aura to use. It would not be long before he reached the Great Perfection.
After the Black Tiger was eliminated, Qingyang City returned to peace. The demons and ghosts did not disappear and did not appear again.
Xue Hansan moved out of Lin Fan's house and prepared to return to the Elite Disciple Area. but he did not take Xue Jiaying with him. Before he left, he asked Xue Jiaying to kneel down in front of Lin Fan's parents.
Lin Haishan and his wife were shocked. They hurriedly helped Xue Jiaying up. Lin Fan said, "Hall Master Xue, what are you doing?"
"Lin Fan, I've been out for so long. This organization will definitely not let me go … Jia Ying can't go back with me."
"If you don't want to go back, then stay. There's no need to kneel down," Lin Fan said lightly.
"Ah …" Xue Hansan was stunned. "You agree? I thought you didn't."
"Yes, I agree," Lin Fan said.
"Then, Lin Fan, why don't you just marry Jia Ying?" Xue Hansan took advantage of the situation and whispered to Lin Fan.
"I'm not an adult yet," Lin Fan refused.
The Haitian Gang did not make things difficult for Xue Hansan. After Xue Hansan returned to the gang, he spread the news about Xue Jiaying and Lin Fan everywhere. Then, he claimed to be Lin Fan's father-in-law and deliberately mystified the situation. The higher-ups of the Haitian Gang did not dare to touch him.
Xia Qiusheng adhered to his duties and continued to be in charge of Guangwu Street.
He was Lin Fan's uncle, so the Haitian Gang did not dare to make things difficult for him.
The Haitian Gang continued to maintain its status as the largest gang, but the county government no longer assigned tasks to the Haitian Gang.
Only Lin Fan and Lei Jun did not go back. Lei Jun now became Lin Fan's little follower and followed him all day.
Although everything in the Oceansky Faction was still going on as usual, the members of the Oceansky Faction were still feeling unsettled. Dinghaitian had come to Lin Fan several times to inquire about him, hoping to get some information from him. In the past, in the elite disciple area, Dinghaitian had always been elusive. It was difficult for Lin Fan to meet him even if he wanted to. Now, he was begging to see him.
However, Lin Fan did not receive any news about it. Towards this matter, Fang Qianqiu was extremely secretive as well.
Until one day, Fang Qianqiu called Lin Fan over and said to him seriously, "Lin Fan, I have a decision and I want to hear your opinion."
Lin Fan said, "Sir, if you have something to say, just say it."
"I want to incorporate the Haitian Gang into the city guards and station them in the city defense.
What do you think? "
Lin Fan said, "I'm just a small gang member. My words carry little weight. My opinion is not important. You should talk to the gang leader, Dinghai Tian, about this matter."
"No, Lin Fan, I only listen to one person's opinion on this matter," Fang Qianqiu said.
"Also, I want you to be the Dutou Chief of the city defense."
"Sir, that's not appropriate," Lin Fan said, "Let Dinghai Tian be the Dutou Chief. I'll be the deputy."
"That's fine," Fang Qianqiu said.
"Then it's settled."
The next day, the decree was issued. The Haitian Gang was incorporated into the city defense of Qingyang City by the government. Dinghai Tian was the Dutou Chief of the city defense, and Lin Fan was the Deputy Dutou Chief.
The middle-level members of the Oceanic and Sky Faction had no right to speak on the matter of incorporation. For them, it was a good thing. After all, they had turned from gangsters to gangsters, from ruffians to public servants with official status. Their reputation was much better, and the treatment and salary they enjoyed were no worse than in the Oceanic and Sky Faction.
However, for the dozen or so higher-ups, it was not a good thing because they could not take advantage of the situation.
In the past, when they were in the Haitian Gang, they had businesses in the gang. Not only did they have shares and dividends, but they could also take advantage of their official position to make some money. Once they were incorporated, the businesses in the gang were confiscated. It seemed that their treatment had improved, but in fact, they were deprived of most of their benefits.
Of course, they were unwilling.
Especially since Lin Fan was the Deputy Dutou Chief. The Four Great Guardians and several elders of the Haitian Gang were dissatisfied. However, this was no longer an internal matter, so there was nothing they could do.
One day, when Lin Fan was on his way to the Fang Family to extract Fang Yuanxue's demonic aura, Evil Wenbao, the Azure Dragon Guardian, suddenly appeared and challenged Lin Fan. Evil Wenbao was in the Qi Forming Realm, while Lin Fan was only in the Bone Tempering Realm. The difference between their realms was too great. If Lin Fan wanted to defeat him, he would have to use the Demonic Blood Technique. It was not worth it to waste 500 or even more of his Vitality for a bet.
"Evil Wenbao, if you want to fight, go find someone else. I'm not interested," Lin Fan replied coldly.
Evil Wenbao acted as if he did not hear Lin Fan and continued to pester him. "Let's make a bet. If you lose, you will automatically give up your position as the Deputy Dutou Chief. If you win, I will give you all of my assets, a hundred thousand taels of silver …"
Lin Fan said, "I'm not betting."
Evil Wenbao sneered. "Coward, you're such a coward!
Coward! "
Lin Fan ignored him and continued to walk forward.
He arrived at the Fang Family's gate.
Evil Wenbao said in a serious voice, "Lin Fan, there's something I don't understand. Can you help me?"
Lin Fan stopped in his tracks.
Evil Wenbao said, "Lin Fan, I don't understand. There are so many people in the Haitian Gang. Why does the county magistrate think highly of you?"
Lin Fan said, "It's best if you don't understand. The more you know, the faster you die!"
"F * ck, Lin, are you threatening me?
I'm afraid of everything in my life, but I'm not afraid of death. "
Just as he said this, a figure suddenly darted out of the gate and appeared in front of him. Before he could react, a fist had already landed on his chest, sending him flying backward with blood spurting out of his mouth.
Evil Wenbao fell heavily to the ground and spat out three mouthfuls of blood.
Before he could get up, the figure had already flashed and stepped on his chest. Then, a fist smashed down on his head. Evil Wen Leopard didn't even have the chance to say a word before he died with blood flowing out of his seven orifices.
Instant kill!
Brutal kill!
Lin Fan was shocked. He turned around and saw Fang Qianqiu punching Evil Wenbao's chest again until he stopped moving.
Lin Fan walked over and pressed his hand on Evil Wenbao's body. He felt around and extracted the corpse energy from his body.
Fang Qianqiu thought that Lin Fan felt sorry for Evil Wenbao, so he said, "Lin Fan, it's not that I'm cruel, but I won't allow anything to happen to you."
Lin Fan took out the money bag from Evil Wenbao's body and weighed it in his hand. "I feel sorry for him because … he has the life to earn but not the life to spend it."
