Chapter 2 Forced to Take the Blame

Chapter 2 Forced to Take the Blame
Everyone in the courtyard was stunned. Everyone had heard of the plot of falling off a cliff to pick up treasure, but that was a joke in storytelling and no one had ever heard of it happening in real life.

But looking at the charm and aura that Lin Fan exudes now, it seems slightly different from usual.

"I became your disciple in front of your predecessor's corpse, and I swore to inherit your legacy and practice hard to carry forward the Xiantian Tyrant Sword lineage."

Lin Fan was still talking in the field.

But most people are skeptical. After all, this matter is too fantastic, and it is only this guy's one-sided statement. He couldn't be fooling us.

Deacon Lin didn't believe it at all in his heart. He had lived for half a hundred years and had never heard of anyone having a miraculous encounter. This imaginary story was pure nonsense!
After thinking about it, he always felt that this matter was related to Lin Fan. Considering the deadline set for him by the family's top leaders to solve the case, in order to solve the case as soon as possible, he glanced at the box of silver from the corner of his eye and turned around to instruct his servants.

"First, seize these stolen goods and lock up Lin Fan. We'll investigate thoroughly first."

Lin Fan immediately refused to do so. "Deacon Lin, I respect you as my senior, but you cannot slander me. If you take this thing away, even if I find out the truth and return it to me, I'm afraid it will be short of weight."

"Good boy, so arrogant!" Deacon Lin stepped forward.

"The master ordered me to investigate the thief, and everyone must cooperate. If you refuse to cooperate, it means you have something to hide; if you have something to hide, it means you are the most suspicious; if you are the most suspicious, the thief is likely to be you. Come with me to the Punishment Hall!"

At first glance, these words seem to be upright and reasonable!
As soon as he finished speaking, Deacon Lin's calloused hands reached out to grab Lin Fan, and the tribesmen quickly dodged to the sides.

But tonight was destined to be full of twists and turns. Lin Fan, who was standing in the center, did not dodge or evade, but faced Deacon Lin with both palms.

"Oh!"

There was only a muffled sound, and the two men stepped back and separated. The bluestone slab under Lin Fan's feet was cracked, but he himself was calm and unharmed.

"Impossible!" Deacon Lin's face was filled with disbelief. "Strengthening the internal organs, the Qi is stored in the five internal organs! You have reached the peak of internal organ training, and are about to reach the state of transformation?"

When the people in the courtyard heard this, there was an uproar.

Lin Shan, who was in the crowd, was also moved when he heard this. As far as he knew, in today's world, warriors could be divided into innate and acquired ones.

Not only were innate masters rare, but it was said that the eldest elder in the entire Lin family was the only innate one. This made the Lin family the leading aristocratic family in Qinghe County.

The acquired martial artists are divided into three stages: breathing, internal organ training, and strength transformation, which are commonly known as third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate masters.

As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. Practicing martial arts is extremely time-consuming and costly, and only wealthy people can afford to practice martial arts.

Exercising without replenishing your body will only overdraw your body, and the deficit will lead to premature death.

Even if it is a wealthy family, it would take at least ten years for a child to start practicing martial arts at the age of eight, and to be provided with medicinal food and elixirs step by step, and to practice step by step to the Qi Exchange Realm, which is the first acquired realm.

Except for the royal nobles and the core children who live in luxury, there are only a handful of second-rate masters like Lin Fan who have entered the internal organ training realm at the age of 16!

At least in Qinghe County, it is unheard of!

At this point, many of the tribesmen believed that it was possible that Lin Fan had really inherited the legacy of a peerless master.

"Could it be that the legendary protagonist who pretends to be a pig to eat the tiger is right next to me?" Lin Shan wondered in his heart, are all people with the word "Fan" in their names destined to be protagonists? Not only Lin Shan, but everyone present looked at the young man who had just fought with Deacon Lin with awe.

Deacon Lin is only a second-rate master. The younger generation present, such as Lin Shan and Lin Shu, have not yet reached the breathing stage. They are not even warriors. Strictly speaking, they are not up to the standard.

A second-rate warrior like Lin Fan can make a name for himself in the outside world!

"enough!"

At this time, a middle-aged man with a dignified face walked out from the inner courtyard. This was Lin Zhenyue, the current head of the Lin family, a well-known first-class master in Qinghe County.

Even the county magistrate had to treat him as an equal and with courtesy when he met him.

He glanced at the banknotes on the ground, then looked at Lin Fan.

"The personal opportunities of the family disciples belong to you personally, and the family will not embezzle them. But you are indeed somewhat suspicious of the theft of the "Spring River Playing with Mandarin Ducks"."

After that, he pointed at Steward Lin and several managers and said, "Tomorrow, go to all the major pawnshops, auction houses, and even the black market in the city to track down any trace of "Spring River Playing with Mandarin Ducks"."

Then he turned around and left, leaving a sentence before leaving: "Lin Fan, follow me, everyone else can go."

Although Deacon Lin was reluctant and couldn't let go of his old face, he had no choice but to obey the order.

Late at night, the crowd dispersed sparsely, whispering to each other about what happened tonight, mostly about Lin Fan's internal training.

Lin Shan returned to his hut alone with his pile of rags, feeling worried about putting down half of them. Fortunately, Lin Fan, the hanger-on, disrupted things tonight and was forced to take the blame, and most of the attention of the family leaders and clansmen was attracted to him.

Otherwise, if we investigate further, who knows what will happen.

Sitting on the bed, he recalled that his peer Lin Fan had already entered the organ training stage and became a second-rate master, while he had not even entered the first threshold of the acquired realm, the breathing realm.

Could it be that Lin Fan was the time traveler? Lin Shan was shocked by his own thought.

Although I feel sad, I still cannot give up my daily practice.

Lin Shan took out the "Qi Gathering Pill" that he had just received from his family today. As the name suggests, it is a regular pill that helps mediocre warriors to gather Qi.

The children from the outer courtyard of the Lin family can receive one bottle a month, which contains ten pills, and the effect is average.

Just as he picked up the pill and prepared to swallow it to practice, the transparent interface that appeared in the study during the day appeared in front of Lin Shan again:
