As if he had suddenly realized something, Yue Lan's father quickly turned to Lin Fan who was still looking at him with a cold look.

Ignoring this cold look, he suppressed the fear in his heart and crawled over to Lin Fan. He kneeled down at his feet and even began kissing it as he said, "Son in law, you should know that this was all Young Master Fei's fault. He was the one who forced me to do this, I was just a pawn."

This was a completely different personality from the one that he had used earlier.

If people hadn't seen the change themselves, they would have thought that he was a completely different person.

But those in the store could only look at Yue Lan's father with disgust.

This was what kind of man he was.historical

He didn't have any pride at all, he only cared about himself. As long as he could survive, he would do anything that he could do. There was nothing that was too shameful when it came to him.

But on a side note, that could be considered a very good trait to have as a merchant since one's face didn't earn them profits.

It was just too bad that he was barking up the wrong tree.

Lin Fan didn't say anything, but he did help Yue Lan's father up and then led him out of the store.

Seeing this, Yue Lan's father felt a bit of hope.

Could it be that he had succeeded?

After all, it was embarrassing to see the father of your lover begging in front of you, so perhaps he would be able to get away.

As long as he was able to escape, he would be able to get his revenge. So he didn't care if he had to throw down his pride because his pride was not something that could feed him.

The most important thing after all was his life.

But he didn't know that this trace of hope was false hope.

As Lin Fan led her father out, Yue Lan already had a vague idea of what he was going to do to him. In all likelihood, this would be the last time that she saw her father because after this, he would no longer be in this world.

She had already steeled her mind about this and she had even made plans for this to happen, but now that it was in front of her, she felt a bit of hesitation.

,m The scene of her father when she was younger kept flashing in her mind.

Back then, her father had been her idol and the person that she had admired. She had hoped that she could marry someone like her father one day..

But that dream had collapsed after she had been sold off to pay her family's debts.

When she had come back to her senses, she found that Lin Fan and her father were already gone.

She knew that it was too late for her to stop what Lin Fan was planning to do, but there was a part of her that was relieved that she didn't stop him.

After taking a moment to bid farewell to her father in her heart, Yue Lan calmed the waves in her heart and took a deep breath before she started taking care of the store.

There was a disturbance in the store while there were still customers around, so as the manager of the store, it was a natural thing that she would go around and offer compensation to everyone.

..

After bringing Yue Lan's father out of the store, Lin Fan continued heading in a certain direction, as if he already knew where he was going.

Yue Lan's father had been confident at first since he thought that Lin Fan was just bringing him somewhere to let him go, but as they continued along, he couldn't help getting a bit worried.

The direction that he was leading him, there wasn't anything there other than the..

But if that was where he was bringing him, it was very unlikely that he was letting him go..

So he couldn't help feeling more and more worried as they came closer and closer to their destination.

When they were about to arrive, Yue Lan's father suddenly fell down again in the middle of the street and grabbed Lin Fan's foot as he started begging, "Son in law, just let me go! Don't take me there, I promise that I'll leave you and her alone from now on."

Lin Fan stopped when he saw this.

Yue Lan's father was quite the shrewd person, he knew that they were getting closer, but he waited for just the right time before falling to his knees. He had waited for them to not be too close to their destination, while also waiting for there to be enough people around them to cause a big enough scene.

As people started looking in their direction, Yue Lan's father raised his voice even more as he said, "Just let me go! Yue Lan would let me go! I am her father, the one who raised and fed her over the years!"

Lin Fan had been watching him beg like he was watching a play, but the moment that he heard him mention Yue Lan's name, his eyes turned cold.

Without a word, he grabbed Yue Lan's father by the collar and lifted him off the ground until they were face to face. Then he said in an ice cold voice, "You're not worthy of saying her name."

Without even waiting for him to respond, he started dragging Yue Lan's father away.

Seeing that his ploy had failed, Yue Lan's father started desperately screaming, "Help! This man is kidnapping me! Help me!"

Perhaps this might have worked if it was Earth, but this was an ancient cultivation world where the law of the jungle ruled.

When people saw this, they either walked away or thought that this man deserved whatever was coming for him.

It didn't take them long to arrive at the Merchants Guild.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Merchants Guild, Yue Lan's father's expression turned even more pale before he started screaming even louder.

The Merchants Guild had been quiet at first, but when Lin Fan dragged Yue Lan's father in, that silence had been disturbed.

The Merchants Guild naturally wouldn't allow anyone to disturb their organization, so the person in charge of the main hall on the first floor immediately came forward to say, "What is going on here?"

Before Lin Fan could say anything, Yue Lan's father immediately fell to his knees and begged this person, "Help me! This person is kidnapping me! Please help me!"

The manager from the Merchants Guild was surprised to hear this, but then he looked at Lin Fan with knitted brows. Regardless of whether what this person said was true, it was a fact that they were currently disrupting the operations of the Merchants Guild.

But before the manager could say a thing, there was someone who suddenly jumped down from the second floor.

The manager was taken aback at first, but when he saw who it was, he revealed a shocked look as he said, "Vice president!" As he said this, his face turned dark and he glared at Lin Fan.

Even the vice president had been alerted by this commotion..

If he didn't take care of this properly, even he would be affected now..

The manager quickly said, "Vice president, I'll take care of this! There's no need for you.."

But before he could finish, the vice president suddenly raised his hand to cut him off.

The manager had a bad feeling about this, but since the vice president had already made his move, there was nothing that he could do.

But the vice president's attention had never been on him, rather he had been looking at Lin Fan the entire time.

Then after a long period of silence..well, it wasn't silent since Yue Lan's father had been screaming the entire time, the vice president revealed a smile and asked, "This young master, how can I help you?"

He completely ignored Yue Lan's father who had been screaming and spoke directly to Lin Fan.

This shocked both Yue Lan's father and the manager on the side.

Lin Fan revealed a smile and said, "This person was obstructing our business, so I brought him here for the Merchants Guild to handle since we are a store registered with the Merchants Guild."

The vice president gave an "oh" sound before saying, "Can I ask which store this young master is from?"

Lin Fan casually said, "Royal Style."

The vice president was even more surprised when he heard this.

Royal Style was a store that was rather famous in their city right now because of the profits that it enjoyed. It was a store that even the Merchants Guild had to take note of because of their various novel products.

Now that he was meeting the owner of that store, he couldn't help being surprised by how young this owner was.

Of course, he wasn't that surprised since he knew that the owner of this store wasn't that simple.

For him to have this kind of store at his age along with his cultivation..

When Lin Fan had come into the Merchants Guild, he had controlled his spiritual senses to target the vice president on the second floor, to put pressure on him with his cultivation.

The vice president was only surprised for a second before saying, "Oh, then since he's causing trouble at one of the stores registered with the Merchants Guild, naturally we will have to punish him." The vice president gave a nod to the manager beside him who immediately understood what he meant.

When the manager came back, he had a stack of papers in his hands that he handed over to the vice president.

The vice president looked it over before saying, "It seems like this person is a merchant registered with our Merchants Guild." Then his eyes turned cold as he said, "To be registered with our Merchants Guild and to dare do something like this.." He turned his cold eyes to Yue Lan's father who had been silent after hearing the conversation between Lin Fan and the vice president, "Naturally we'll be kicking him out of our Merchants Guild and banning him for life."

Yue Lan's father's face turned pale after hearing this.

This was it, this was the end for him.

He had done all of this because he wanted Lin Fan's store to rebuild his business again, but if he wasn't even registered with the Merchants Guild, there was no meaning. He wasn't someone with experts behind him, so if he were to create another store, all that it would be is easy pickings for other parties without the support of the Merchants Guild.

The vice president ignored him and asked Lin Fan, "Young master, what do you think about this?"

Lin Fan to his surprised shook his head and said, "I don't think that's enough."
