Chapter 71: Trouble Begins

The Crown Prince of the Wise King was defeated.

The situation instantly became more tense.

These bodyguards were all experts in the army, specially trained by the royal family.

No exaggeration.

Even the skilled individuals in the martial world would not last more than a few moves against them.

Factions like the Si River Gang could easily be crushed by them.

However, Lin Fan was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he was looking forward to fighting against them.

The fight with the Crown Prince earlier was just a warm-up. He was itching for a real challenge.

But this was stopped.

"Stop!"

It was the Crown Prince who stopped them. He took a deep breath and broke free from the support of his bodyguards.

"As you command!"

These bodyguards were specially trained and naturally obeyed their master.

Upon hearing his command, they all stopped their actions and sheathed their swords, stepping aside.

However, their gaze remained locked on Lin Fan. If their master gave the order, they would instantly attack and unleash a thunderous strike.

"The Crown Prince keeps his word. Since I lost to you today, let's call it quits!"

The Crown Prince's expression was cold, but he did not choose to break his promise.

Since they agreed to settle the matter through a duel, now that the outcome was clear, it was resolved.

Continuing to argue would only bring shame to the Wise King's residence.

"I concede."

Lin Fan chuckled and gestured with his hand.

"Hmph! Do as you wish."

The Crown Prince gave Lin Fan a deep look, then looked at Jian Ling with a pained expression. With the support of his bodyguards, he mounted his horse and led his troops away from here.

As they left the estate's boundaries...

The Crown Prince's face completely lost its composure and twisted into a grimace.

"Liu Da, contact the leader of the White Lotus Sect. This Crown Prince doesn't want to see this person in the world again!"

The Crown Prince's expression twisted as he sternly ordered the captain of the bodyguards beside him.

"As you command!"

Seeing this situation, the captain of the bodyguards immediately lowered his head and quickly took out a carrier pigeon to write a letter.

Flap, flap~

In no time, a snow-white carrier pigeon spread its wings and flew into the sky.

In front of the estate's gate.

No one knew about this situation.

But Jian Ling knew the Crown Prince's true nature and reminded, "Husband, this Crown Prince may seem trustworthy, but he is actually a hypocrite. We need to be cautious in the future."

"Yes, I will be careful."

Lin Fan looked at the road the Crown Prince had left on and for a moment, he wanted to kill him to silence him.

But the Crown Prince's identity was extraordinary. He was not someone like Wang Wei. If he died, the Great Long royal family would never let it go. They would definitely investigate and trace it back to him.

Or rather...

Anyone suspected would not be able to escape the reckoning of the royal family.

Compared to the entire Great Long royal family, dealing with a Crown Prince was much easier.

No matter what underhanded methods the Crown Prince used, Lin Fan could handle it.

Once this storm passed, if the Crown Prince still made any moves, he wouldn't mind eliminating him.

"Husband, are you alright?"

At this moment, the other three wives rushed out, looking at Lin Fan with worry.

Earlier, they were worried about a direct conflict with the Crown Prince, fearing that their delicate wives would be harmed. When Lin Fan came out, he instructed Wang Erxiao to stop the wives and maidservants.

Jian Ling was also supposed to be stopped, but with her martial arts skills, she easily broke through the blockade. However, the other three wives couldn't do the same and could only worry inside the house until the crisis was resolved. Each of them was extremely worried.

Looking at the crying daughter-in-law, Lin Fan quickly comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, my wives. Your husband is capable. These small matters can be easily handled. What could possibly go wrong?"

The three daughters-in-law checked Lin Fan up and down, making sure he was really fine, before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

"It's all my fault..." Jian Ling said guiltily.

Ye Xiaorou and the other daughters-in-law were still worried, but when they heard Jian Ling's words, they immediately said in unison, "Ling'er, it's not your fault. We are all family. There's nothing to blame."

"Yes, yes, didn't you hear what our husband said just now? He's capable. With him protecting us, nothing will happen. Don't say such things again in the future," Wang Nannan said, approaching with a smile to comfort them.

"Thank you, everyone," Jian Ling said, deeply moved.

"Alright, let's not stand outside anymore. Let's go back inside and talk," Lin Fan said with a smile.

Naturally, no one objected and they all went back to the manor, talking along the way.

After comforting the daughters-in-law, Lin Fan went to the room of the gatekeeper.

Su Erhu was taking care of him and quickly stood up when he saw Lin Fan, asking about what happened outside.

"We'll talk about it later," Lin Fan didn't reply, but waved his hand and went to the bedside of the gatekeeper.

"Uncle Fu, are you feeling better?" Lin Fan asked with concern.

Uncle Fu had already calmed down and looked much better. He respectfully replied, "Thank you, Master, for your concern. I'm much better now. Are you alright?"

"Don't worry, the situation has been resolved," Lin Fan smiled and reassured him, not wanting the old man to worry about anything.

"That's good, that's good," Uncle Fu breathed a sigh of relief and was also very concerned about Lin Fan, his kind master.

"Well, you have some stagnant blood in your body. I'll have someone make a decoction for you later. Remember to drink it all," Lin Fan glanced at him and roughly assessed Uncle Fu's injuries, instructing him.

"Thank you, Master, for your concern," Uncle Fu thanked him gratefully.

"You were injured because of me, so it should be like this. No need to thank me, just rest well," Lin Fan shook his head, then gave a few more instructions before leaving the room.

Su Erhu followed him out, having received a signal from his big brother earlier.

"Erhu, quickly poison all the golden needles and the armor-piercing arrows I made for you these days. Don't be polite, poison them all!" Lin Fan coldly ordered. He had clearly seen the malicious intent in the eyes of the Crown Prince when he left. Even without Jian Ling's reminder, he knew that the other party wouldn't give up.

But if they dared to come and cause trouble, they should be prepared to lose their extended hand!

Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles.

Not only did he equip himself and his two little brothers with them, but also all his wives.

It would be better if the other party didn't come.

But if they did,

they shouldn't expect to go back.

"Yes, Brother Fan!" Su Erhu had never seen his big brother so serious before, so he nodded solemnly in response.

"Go, try to finish it today," Lin Fan nodded slightly and didn't say much more.

Su Erhu responded again and quickly left to carry out the task.

"It seems that I need to speed up the training of the people around me. Otherwise, I don't mind the trouble, but if the people around me are targeted, it will be difficult to defend against," Lin Fan took a deep breath and realized the current weakness.

But it wasn't a big deal.

With the ability of Max Level Medical Skills, as long as he could prepare enough strengthening potions, he could overcome the weaknesses around him and even support his backbone.

Thinking of this,

Lin Fan found Wang Erxiao and asked him to bring the second shopkeeper over.
