Chapter 378: Assassins (2/2)

However, he didn't ask Lu Jian in fear that the answer would be yes.

Fan Ling nodded. ”That's him.”

”So, did your cousin wants to kill me?” Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. ”My, I didn't know that my worth will be that much.”

”Heh, it seems that things have been too peaceful lately.” Fan Ling sneered. She felt that she really needed to teach them a bit of lessons to make sure that no one touched her guest. Not to mention, the person they attacked was Lin Xiao.

”What happened here?”

Everyone turned to look behind and saw Old Master Fan came out with several others. He was calm because he had noticed the fight ceased but upon seeing the person on the ground, his expression was not good.

He didn't mind having the youngsters chose to support different princes but he wouldn't allow them to openly kill each other in his own house.

”What are you doing, Du Si An?” Fan Pei acted as if he was surprised and angry.

”Master, I….” Du Si An noticed the glare on Fan Pei's face and gritted his teeth. ”This one is wrong and will….”

Tak!

A stick landed on Du Si An's mouth, stopping him from killing himself. Lin Yun clicked his tongue. ”It'll be too easy for you if you chose death, isn't it?”

Lin Xiao nodded at Fan Ling and Fan Ling grinned. She had been wanting to beat up this little b*stard for some time now and now that the chance had come, how could she miss this chance?

Bang!

”Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Shrill screams filled the courtyard. Fan Pei's face was pale while Old Master Fan also didn't look too good but he didn't stop his granddaughter. ”Little Ling.”

”Grandpa, this servant is too unruly to attack an Imperial Family members.” Fan Ling naturally knew that her grandfather didn't want to punish her cousin. She might be his doted granddaughter, but he was also the family's head. ”Since he dared to do it, he had to be punished.”

”I have already reported this matter and some people will take him away.” Lu Jian smiled. ”Don't worry, it's just a case of a servant acting on their own, right?”

”Yes.” Fan Pei gritted his teeth. He had no other choice but to play along even though he was the one who commanded for this matter to be done.

Lin Xiao watched the play and laughed coldly. He waved his hand. ”I'll leave it to you, Fan Ling, Lu Jian.”

”Yes, Master.” Fan Ling willingly addressed Lin Xiao as Master in front of the other elders. This was to show her stance. She realized that if she didn't do this, her family members didn't seem to realize where her stance was.

”Little Ling…” Old Master Fan looked at his granddaughter and sighed. She had truly grown up. ”Fan Pei, come with me.”

Fan Pei's face turned pale. He knew that the moment his grandfather chose to call him by his full name and no longer with 'little,' it means his grandfather's patient had run out.
