Chapter 628 The fated day (9)
But there was nothing that came.
Even though the door had closed shut behind them and it seemed like something was about to happen, there wasn't a single thing that happened.
Lin Yun just looked at Lin Li Zi and said, "Miss Li Zi, please put your weapon down. There's nothing to worry about here, the old master just wishes to meet you and our guest here."
Lin Li Zi didn't put the sword down and even pointed it at Lin Yun, as if she was suspicious of him.
But in the end, Lin Fan said, "Alright, stop playing around. Let's go and meet them."
Lin Li Zi looked at Lin Fan with a strange look, but she followed his orders in the end.
However, as they followed Lin Yun, she couldn't help moving closer to whisper, "Are you sure about this? It seems like this is a trap."
Lin Fan didn't say anything in response as he continued to follow Lin Yun.
Lin Li Zi couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a strange look when she saw him acting this way.
One moment, he had acted dominantly when facing Elder Wang and the fourth master.
But now he was just meekly following behind Lin Yun like he was listening to all of his orders.
Just where had that domineering Lin Fan gone?
Lin Li Zi really couldn't help feeling worried when she saw Lin Fan like this.
After all, the future of both her and her mother would depend on what Lin Fan did.
So when he didn't act in the same domineering manner as before, Lin Li Zi was naturally worried.
They didn't have to keep walking for long before Lin Yun brought them to a deep part of the manor.
As they went through the corridor of the manor, there wasn't a single person that appeared. It was as if there wasn't a single person working in this manor.
However, Lin Fan didn't find it strange at all.
After all, it was very likely that they had been allowed to leave just in case anything happened.
If he had to guess, it was very likely that they were all being led away while he was being brought to see the old master. However, that didn't matter since Lin Fan also had some cards that he had hidden in the Lin Family.
Even if they wanted to escape, it would be impossible for them to do so since he was determined to eliminate the Lin Family today.
When they arrived in front of the double doors that led into the room, Lin Yun suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Lin Fan.
He gave a slight bow before saying, "Young master, this is where our old master is waiting for you. Unfortunately, I cannot come with you, so please enter by yourself. The old master is waiting inside for you."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Yun for a moment.
When Lin Yun felt Lin Fan's gaze on him, he couldn't help feeling strangely nervous.
He didn't know where this feeling came from, but he could tell that his body wasn't acting normal.
It was as if there was this strange form of pressure that was on him that made his body react slowly.
Finally, Lin Fan turned his gaze away from Lin Yun and looked at the door.
Without any hesitation, he walked to the door and raised his hand to push it open.
But the moment that he walked past Lin Yun, he didn't forget to add, "You can try to run, but you'll never be able to get away."
Lin Yun once again felt a tremble run through his body as he looked at Lin Fan in shock.
There was a part of him that wanted to ask just what he meant by this, but he found that he wasn't able to say these words. It was as if there was something that was forcing his mouth to remain stiff, unable to open and say the words that he wanted to say.
This was a feeling that Lin Yun had never felt in all his years of serving the old master.
This wasn't because he had never risked his life before in his time serving the Lin Family.
It was that he had never felt this kind of pressure before.
In the back of his mind, he couldn't help wondering, "Just what is this person?"
However, his loyalty and his faith in the Lin Family, as well as the old master allowed him to maintain his rationality.
He didn't say anything in response and just moved right past Lin Fan to head off to another part of the manor.
As he passed by Lin Li Zi, he couldn't help looking at her.
Though he had a calm expression on his face, Lin Li Zi could see a trace of disdain in his eyes.
She was already used to this, so she didn't think too much about this.
But she also knew that this matter wouldn't be that simple, so she moved forward to say something to Lin Fan.
Unfortunately, he had already pushed open the door and revealed the room that was inside.
This was a room that wasn't that big, with four seats that were placed on the side. On the opposite end of the room, there was a platform that was a bit higher than the rest of the room and there was another seat that was there.
Of these four seats, three of them were occupied.
As well, there was someone who was sitting on the seat that was on the platform.
These three that were sitting in three of the four seats, these were three of the four masters of the Lin Family.
As for the one that was sitting in the main seat, he was the father of these three and the old master of the Lin Family.
When Lin Fan and Lin Li Zi came into the room, all eyes immediately turned to look at them.
The one thing that Lin Fan was surprised by was the fact that there was no hostility in these gazes. It seemed that they were just looking at him with curious looks, as if they were trying to figure out what he was about.
However, that didn't make sense at all.
After all, even if they didn't know about the death of Lin Yu, they should at least have known about the death of the fourth master. That had happened in their front yard, it would be very hard for them to miss…
However, they didn't have any hostility in their gazes as they looked at him…
Lin Fan would never believe that the Lin Family was so magnanimous that they would forgive the death of one of their four masters like this.
So what were they planning?
Could it be that they really just didn't know about this?
"So you're the one that killed my fourth son?"
The old master who was sitting in the main seat suddenly said this.
Un, that confirmed it, they knew about the death of the fourth master.
So by all rights, they should be very angry with him and even curse him to die for it.
But here they were just calmly talking to him.
Lin Fan really felt like something was off…
However, it wasn't as if he could behave as if something was off.
So Lin Fan just gave a simple nod and said, "Trash like him didn't deserve to live in this world."
As he said this, he made sure to gauge the reaction of not just the old master, but also the other three that were sitting around him.
It didn't seem like any of them reacted when he called the fourth master trash.
Instead, it even seemed like they were somewhat excited to see him acting this way.
When he saw this, all Lin Fan could do was feel even more confused.
He had killed one of the four masters and yet they acted like it was nothing. They even seemed like they were excited to hear that one of their four masters had died…
Lin Fan just couldn't figure out what they were thinking.
However, it wasn't as if any of this would have an effect on his plans.
After a long silence, the old master said, "So now what?"
Lin Fan looked at the old master with one brow raised, as if he was trying to figure out what the old master meant by this.
When the old master saw Lin Fan looking at him like this, he calmly said, "Are you planning on killing the rest of us as well? Or do you have any other plans?"
Lin Fan couldn't help feeling that there was something off with these words.
On the surface, it seemed like the old master was just acting tough…but he could sense that there were other intentions beneath the surface.
After a long silence, instead of answering, Lin Fan asked back, "What do you think I'm planning on doing?"
The old master gave a simple shrug in response to this before saying, "I have no idea. How would I know what you're thinking when you're the one that suddenly barged into our territory and started killing people like this? Maybe I'm stalling for time for backup to arrive or maybe I have some other plan."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at the old master after hearing this.
He didn't really care about what the old master was saying, rather he cared about the tone of the old master's voice.
It was as if he wasn't worried at all.
Seeing the way that Lin Fan looked at him, the old master suddenly said, "Or if you want, you can even join us."
