Chapter 1113 Completely Different (17)

?

When the members of the Lin Family heard this, all of them couldn't help revealing shocked looks.

But at the same time, Yu Ling looked at them with envy.

Being able to go back to the Lin Astral Empire with the crown prince like this, there was no doubt that they would be joining the Lin Astral Family. This was like having the opportunity to become a phoenix because the moment that they joined the Lin Astral Family, they would have the biggest backer.

The Lin Astral Family was the ruling family of an Astral Empire, they were by no means weak.

Once they joined the Lin Astral Family, it could be said that they would have the capital to do whatever they wanted since they would have the strongest backers.

But it was clear by the looks on the faces of the Lin Family members that they didn't want this.

After a long period of silence, the second elder said, "Great nephew, are you telling us to abandon everything that we've built up here? You know we can't do that."

The moment that Yu Ling heard this, he immediately looked at the second elder like he was an idiot. At the same time, he wanted to use his pressure on the second elder to force him to shut his mouth.

But before he could, Lin Fan had already given a cough for him to stop.

Yu Ling had no choice but to suppress his aura and calm down.

As for why he was so agitated…it was because he didn't want the second elder to blow his chance as well.

If the Lin Family was going to leave this lower realm, then as someone who had been sent to take care of the Lin Family, he would have the opportunity to leave as well. For the merit of taking care of the Lin Family during this time, he was certain that he would be properly rewarded by Lin Fan and the Lin Astral Family.

So when the second elder refused, it was like he was cutting off his reward as well which made him angry with the second elder.

But in front of Lin Fan, he had to restrain himself.

It wasn't just because of Lin Fan's status, but also because of the feeling that came from Lin Fan. There was a pressure that came from Lin Fan that he had never felt before…far beyond anything he had felt from any of his superiors before.

After suppressing Yu Ling, Lin Fan calmly looked at the second elder and asked, "Great uncle, why is that?"

The second elder gave a snort and said, "If we leave this place, do you think that we'll be able to keep ourselves safe? I know about the Beast Race invasion, but they haven't gotten far enough to reach us yet and you all will stop them before then. But if we leave this place and get involved in the politics of the main family, do you think that we'll be able to keep our lives? We're much weaker than the others, so we should stay in a place that's suited for us instead of risking our lives for benefits."

Lin Fan couldn't help revealing an appreciative look after hearing all of this.

He had a bad impression of the second elder after everything that had happened between them, but now he realized that he wasn't being fair. He could have the bad impression of his character because of the things that happened in the past, but he had to acknowledge his second great uncle's intelligence and self awareness.

He knew how to keep himself alive, so he could be considered quite wise.

It was just too bad that the situation wasn't as he thought it was.

Lin Fan gave a nod before saying, "That is a smart way of looking at things." He gave a deliberate pause here which caused the second elder to reveal a slightly smug look, but then he said, "Unfortunately, your information is outdated."

When they heard this, all of them couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with strange looks of shock and confusion, as if they couldn't understand what he was saying.

Lin Fan then said, "This place is no longer safe, which is why I'm taking you all back to the Lin Astral Empire with me."

"This place is no longer safe?" The second elder couldn't help repeating after Lin Fan.

Then all of the members of the Lin Family couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with doubtful looks.

But Yu Ling was looking at Lin Fan with deeply knitted brows and a serious expression.

He had been worried about this since he wasn't able to receive news from the Lin Astral Empire in this lower realm. Even if he did through connections, the news that he did receive was mainly outdated.

The last piece of news that he had received was that there was a new development on the battlefield and the Lin Astral Empire troops had been pushed back.

He had hoped that this was only temporary and the situation would change, but the fact that Lin Fan was personally here to pick up the Lin Family meant that it hadn't changed for the better. Rather, it most likely developed for the worst, which was why even this lower realm was no longer safe.

The more he thought about it, the more grateful that he was that Lin Fan was here.

After all, if it became serious, it was likely that this place would be targeted because there were relatives of the Lin Astral Family here. Even if they couldn't be considered a branch, they were related to Lin Fan, the crown prince and had some value.

So they would have surely been attacked.

Yu Ling was certain that just him and the few people that he brought wouldn't have been enough to guard all of this.

But of course, it didn't go the way that Yu Ling wanted in the end.

The second elder shook his head and said, "No, we haven't seen any signs of this at all. How do we know that you're not lying to us?" Then the second elder turned to the others and said, "Who knows if we'll even be able to come back if we ever leave this place?"

All of them revealed grim looks when they heard this.

They all understood the implications behind the second elder's words.

After all, even if they didn't have powerful cultivations, they were still considered members of the Lin Astral Family. While it wouldn't be them that would pose a threat, one day there might be another one of their descendants that could pose a threat to Lin Fan's future reign.

So they were worried that Lin Fan bringing them back would be to take care of them secretly instead of actually taking them back.

If they went with him now…it was hard to guarantee if they would actually make it.

Or at least that was what they thought.

Lin Fan could also see through their petty thoughts and he couldn't help giving a sigh before shaking their heads.

When they had so little responsibility and had all this free time, they thought of all kinds of crazy things. With their cultivation level and their talent, would any of them even give birth to a descendant strong enough for that?

Not to mention, Lin Fan didn't care about the throne of the Lin Astral Empire in the first place.

He wasn't someone that would be satisfied with being tied down like this, so he wouldn't have even considered taking this position if it wasn't for the Lin Astral Emperor forcing it onto him…

But for now, he was done playing with these relatives of his.

He had tried to play nice with them, but it seemed that it was more trouble than it was worth to keep going like this.

Since that was the case, there was no need for him to keep going.

With a single snort, there was a pressure that fell onto the Lin Family members.

All of them couldn't believe the pressure that they were facing and they couldn't even last a single second under this pressure. All of them crumpled under this pressure and fainted right away.

Once they were all subdued, Lin Fan turned his attention to the guards that were standing there in a daze.

With a simple smile he said, "You can all go home for the day, there's nothing left for you here."

Then with a wave of his hand, they all disappeared.

He had sent them all away with his spatial laws.

After this was done, Lin Fan nodded at his own guards that appeared out of nowhere and they started carrying the Lin Family members away.

Yu Ling who had watched all of this had a look of admiration on his face.

He had already heard that Lin Fan was powerful, but he never thought that he would be this powerful.

Yu Ling bowed his head once more and said, "It is my honour to serve your…"

Before he could finish, Lin Fan raised his hand to cut him off. Then he said, "You can stay here and take care of the Lin Family's property for when they return to claim it again."

Hearing this, Yu Ling's expression twisted and there was something that he clearly wanted to say…but he wasn't given that opportunity.

Before he could even look up, he felt the aura in front of him disappear.

Then when he did look up, he found that Lin Fan and his group were already gone.
