Chapter 136 (1/2)

Since Ye Dong insisted on being sly, Lin Fan felt that he might as well go with it.

Ye Dong kept his head down, making it looked like he had something weighing his mind, he also sighed heavily then drank his wine.

However, no one reacted to this farce of his, which made Ye Dong a bit worried.

Was it because they didn’t notice him?

Because he made it so obvious, yet no one said anything to him.

Right when Ye Dong was about to execute his next move, he heard a familiar voice.

“Sigh…!”

Lin Fan sighed and drank his wine with an irritated look on his face.

“Brother Lin, is something troubling you?” Ye Dong asked, it should be Lin Fan who asked him about what was troubling him, not the other way around, but he had to show that he cared about Lin Fan.

Lin Fan refused to be drawn to his pace, “Brother Ye, at first I don’t want to tell you this, but since I heard you’re in the same boat as me, I’ll tell you. As you probably know, Ye Zhentian and I had our differences, which troubles me, but if I lay a hand on him, people will think that I misuse my mother’s authority as an elder to oppress the weak.”

“It’s embarrassing to say, but it would be reassuring if you can help me in this matter.” Lin Fan added.

Lin Fan’s expression and attitude made it hard to figure out that he did this on purpose.

He turned Ye Dong’s weapon against him

Ye Dong was easily fooled by Lin Fan’s words.

That was what Ye Dong wanted to Lin Fan in the first place, and now Lin Fan took it right out of his mouth, which put Ye Dong in a spot.

Nangong Jin secretly smiled, as expected of the one he decided to follow, Lin Fan was always one step ahead, Lin Fan seized the opportunity and dictated the flow of the conversation based on Ye Dong’s answer.

He knew that Ye Dong had an ulterior motive other than just inviting Lin Fan to a banquet.

But Lin Fan took the momentum, and dictated the pace of their conversation, putting Ye Dong in a tight spot.

“Brother Ye, is there any problem?” Lin Fan asked.

He knew that Ye Dong was a sly dog. A shameless person will definitely argue with his strongest trait, his foxiness. It was making him fall even deeper into Lin Fan’s trap.

Ye Dong said, “Problem? Of course not. I just thought that Ye Zhentian is so arrogant that many disciples suffered because of him, but he really is one hell of a lucky bastard.”

“He found a spirit vein some time ago, and he became more arrogant because of that, he looked down on basically everyone.”

“So, I proposed that we join forces to put Ye Zhentian back on his place.” Ye Dong said.

Ye Dong wanted Lin Fan to teach Ye Zhentian a lesson. With Lin Fan’s help, even if Ye Zhentian ended up dead, he will not be punished thanks to his mother.

And since both of them were core disciples, it will be troublesome if they were to kill each other.

Lin Fan shook his head and said, “As I said that I couldn’t embarrass my mother. Provided my current status, if I lay a hand on him, people will think I’m bullying the weak.”
