Chapter 759 -759: Too Pretentious
Fang Lin turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a black robe approaching with an angry face.
“How insolent! You dared to hurt people inside the North Town Hall. Don’t you have any respect for the rules here? What’s your name?” The man in the black robe came closer and pointed at Fang Lin’s nose, berating him.
Fang Lin was cool and indifferent. He wasn’t scared by the man’s presence, nor did he even blink. He looked at the black-robed man as though he was looking at a dead body. There was no emotion on his face.
The black-robed man became even angrier upon seeing Fang Lin’s silent defiance and cold demeanor.
“Hand over your Pill Refiner badge!” The man in black yelled.
Fang Lin frowned and looked annoyed: “Who are you?”
...
Upon hearing this, the black-robed man nearly choked. Who was this kid? Could he not recognize me?
“Kid, can’t you recognize Steward Gu? Are you new to the North Town Hall?” The chubby young man spoke up.
Fang Lin gave him a glance, then nodded, and laughed, “Well, it’s indeed my first day here. I unfortunately ran into you guys. What bad luck.”
“You…” The people around him were all annoyed. Especially Qi Yu, who Fang Lin had punched to the ground, was burning with rage, glaring at Fang Lin with venomous eyes.
Steward Gu was also furious. This was his first day in the North Town Hall, yet he was so audacious. He even hurt Qi Yu. If he was allowed to stay, wouldn’t he become arrogant?
“There is no private fighting in North Town Hall. You broke the precept and must face punishment!” Steward Gu said as he reached out to capture Fang Lin.
Fang Lin frowned. Wasn’t this issue settled yet? He had just been here for one day and was already caught up in this mess.
Nevertheless, Fang Lin wouldn’t go down without a fight. But he didn’t strike back either. He just stood there, letting Gu capture him.
Steward Gu grabbed Fang Lin’s shoulder, smirking inwardly. Suddenly, his expression froze.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t move Fang Lin an inch.
“Why are you so tough?” Steward Gu exerted more force to cause Fang Lin pain, but found Fang Lin’s body extremely tough. His own hand hurt from squeezing, yet Fang Lin didn’t flinch.
“Steward Gu, you’re too kind. You admit your mistake and even give me a shoulder massage. I’m so embarrassed,” Fang Lin said cheerfully.
Steward Gu was utterly taken aback. He had never seen such a shameless person. He was clearly trying to capture Fang Lin, not give him a massage!
Unfortunately, to the casual observer, it sure looked like Steward Gu was giving Fang Lin a shoulder massage.

“You! You think you can be arrogant in front of me just because you’re mildly skilled?” Steward Gu was enraged. He was the Steward of the North Town Hall and always looked down on others. Who dares to be so defiant in front of him? Even if Fang Lin hadn’t committed any offence today, he’d still teach Fang Lin a lesson and make him obey his rules.
Steward Gu circulated his inner strength. Instantly, his demeanor changed as he tapped into the power of a Martial Artist connected to the Spirit Vein.
“How much longer you can hold on?” Steward Gu’s eyes filled with cruelty. He refused to believe that after using his real power, this young man before him could still withstand the pain, and would certainly kneel before him in agony.
Unfortunately, Steward Gu was disappointed again. Fang Lin still did not move an inch and showed no reaction. It was as if he didn’t feel Steward Gu’s hand at all.
“Steward Gu, you’re not massaging hard enough. Try harder,” Fang Lin said.
Steward Gu widened his eyes in shock while the rest, including Qi Yu on the ground, wore horrified expressions.
Is this boy a monster? With Steward Gu’s full power as a Martial Artist, he still couldn’t faze him?
Surely his body isn’t made of stone? Although even if he were made of stone, Steward Gu’s strength surely could shatter a boulder.
Steward Gu started to fear. His martial foe had an intense physical prowess and was new to the North Town Hall. Could this mean he was connected to some powerful lineage, here for a pilgrimage?
It was no wonder Steward Gu started to hesitate. After all, the 32 Halls often had offspring of powerful figures visiting for rituals. Being a steward for many years, he knew better than to offend these individuals unnecessarily.
At this point, Steward Gu began to hesitate – should he make another move?
If he did and complications occurred later, if the boy really was someone consequential, wouldn’t he be screwed?
Yet if he didn’t, it would be a slap in his own face. Unable to handle a rudimentary Martial Artist, he would become a laughingstock as the Steward of the North Town Hall.
“Steward Gu, you have to apprehend this person! Stand up for me!” Qi Yu, lying on the ground, yelled, clutching his nose.
Thud!
Fang Lin did not hesitate and stomped directly on Qi Yu; a snapping sound was heard, signaling many of Qi Yu’s ribs had broken.
Cough!
Qi Yu spewed out blood in unbearable pain. Being stepped on by Fang Lin, and tasting the humiliation and anger, he felt even more incensed.
“You’re dead! I won’t let you go!” Despite being stepped on by Fang Lin, Qi Yu was still ranting and raving.
Fang Lin turned up his lips in disdain, glanced at Qi Yu unmoved, his eyes full of a murderous intention.
Qi Yu shivered. Fang Lin’s invisible murderous aura left him in shock.
Even Steward Gu was taken aback. He, too, felt the stealthy aura of murder from Fang Lin.
Only those who have blood on their hands can emit such a powerful murderous aura. Even a sliver of it can chill people to their cores.
“The young man is brimming with this aura. Who is he?” Gu became more hesitant. His hand resting upon Fang Lin’s shoulder didn’t know whether to move or stay. He found himself in a predicament.
At this moment, a few individuals approached from afar. Steward Gu’s complexion changed as he saw who they were.
“Hm? Steward Gu, what’s happening here?” The newcomers consisted of an elderly man and several young men and women in Pill Refiner robes. The elderly man asked upon seeing the scene in front of him.
“Ah!!!!!”
Suddenly, Fang Lin collapsed on the ground, spurting out fresh blood and trembled violently. His face was twisted with pain.
“I’ve been injured! Is there no justice in the North Town Hall? The Steward beats up a small disciple like me, do I even have a reason to live?” Fang Lin cried out in a mournful voice. Blood dripped from his mouth and his pitiful cries would break anyone’s heart.
The faces of Steward Gu, Qi Yu, and the others were all in shock. This guy was really capable of faking it, wasn’t he?
