I Don’t Want To Defy The Heavens Chapter 20

Chapter 20
“Young Master Lin, please tell me about it . ” Liang Yichu was gentle and elegant as he asked .
Like he had no interaction with Young Master Lin at all .
Even if they both lived in You City .
They met very few times .
Recently, Lin Fan’s actions had attracted Liang Yi Chu’s attention, and he felt like their ideals linked up so he wanted to get to know him .
At the same time, he respected Lin Fan a lot .
Lin Fan dared to do things, while he only dared to think about it but not act .
This was the gap between them .
“I don’t have many good feelings towards your Liang Family . Your brother scolded me so I beat him up . It was a little pitiful, and he lost face . ”
“You look good so scram . Don’t ask to be humiliated in case I ask my cousin to beat you up . ”
Lin Fan had no choice .
You City only had three aristocratic families . Apart from the Lin Family, there was only the Liang Family and the Yuan Family .
If he didn’t fight them .
His life would be very boring and lonely .
The Liang Family Young Master came personally .
Could he just not bother about it and ask nothing?
Liang Yichu’s expression remained the same, and he was only shocked . He wasn’t angry at all and said apologetically, “I know my third brother’s personality, he must have done something overboard . ”
“I apologise for him here and will compensate Young Master Lin . ”
Lin Fan looked at Manager Chen .
And then at his cousin .
And then at Gou’zi .
What was going on with that fellow?
Was he serious?
Or his words were too normal and not overboard . Logically speaking, when normal people heard that, they would be furious and exasperated .
Why was he not angry at all?
He didn’t even give a single rage point .
Was he not angry at all?
For some reason, Lin Fan didn’t want to talk to him . He felt that no matter how much he spoke, it would be useless .
“You are really the Liang Family Young Master?” Lin Fan asked .
He felt like it was a little unreliable .
Although he didn’t have much contact with aristocrats, he knew that the people in You City didn’t treat lives really seriously . In terms of personality, they were also a little violent .

Liang Yongqi was a good example .
As the Third Young Master, no one else but him could suppress that arrogant attitude .
As the Lin Family Young Master, his was a little fake .
The person in front of him truly didn’t do anything . Although he didn’t offend people or get into trouble, he could still be considered a piece of trash .
“It is the truth . ” Liang Yichu smiled .
Lin Fan didn’t ask him to sit, so naturally he wouldn’t . He just stood there .
It was just a little annoying .
A rich family Young Master didn’t have friends .
He just wanted to argue with other people and bring his cousin to beat people up as way to enjoy his days .
Today, this Liang Family Young Master was obviously here to become friends with himself .
Should he give him a chance?
He raised his head and looked towards him .
Liang Yichu smiled, his smile was more sincere and wasn’t fake at all .
If Liang Yichu really had bad intentions, he would definitely be angry when he said those words .
However, he wasn’t angered at all?
“Sit . ” Lin Fan said .
“Many thanks . ” Liang Yichu smiled and sat before saying, “I have heard about what Brother Lin has done recently, and I really respect you . ”
So he came for this matter .
He was right .
His reputation was really widespread .
Other people knowing about him was good, and he had to let it continue .
“It is just a small matter, and I did it casually . ” Lin Fan smiled, and pointed to those refugees, “I look at them and I think about my grandfather; he was also a refugee . ”
“Your Liang Family should also be from refugeesm so you should be able to understand too . ”
His words were right .
No matter how rich one’s family is, a few generations up and they should all be the same .
Liang Yichu thought about it for a moment before speaking, “Brother Lin, your words make sense . Although my Liang Family has been aristocratic families since before three generations, I can understand the meaning behind your words . ”
“When Grandfather Lin was young, he was poor and couldn’t eat or have good clothes . He helped to build the Lin Family with his bare hands . He is someone I respect . ”

Lin Fan was stunned . Those words were a little off .
What did he mean?
He said that the Liang Family had always been an aristocratic family, so that meant he couldn’t understand how he felt .
If Liang Yichu had the little support system .
His rage points would increase by 6,666 .
A direct hit .
Lin Fan didn’t want to continue talking with Liang Yichu as there was no way for them to communicate .
“Brother Lin, I have thought about the farm taxes for a long time and felt that your method was the best one . ”
“The aristocratic families are readily suppressing the civilians, and this could cause them to rebel . No one is certain that no dragons will rise up from among them . ”
“People like Old Grandfather Lin was a commoner . Although there aren’t many, there had to be a few of them . ”
“Brother Lin probably did such a thing with such considerations at hand, right?”
Liang Yichu was really certain that this Young Master Lin had great foresight .
Liang Yichu’s words stunned Lin Fan .
What was he talking about?
What he was talking about was totally not what he was thinking about . He did that as he had nothing to do and wanted to gain rage points .
At the same time, it was because he pitied the refugees .
As for whether or not dragons would rise up from within them, it had no connection with him .
However, towards his remarks, Lin Fan didn’t retort or say anything . He just drank his tea confidently, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth .
His conjecture was correct .
He could continue to do so, and he wouldn’t need to say a single word .
At this moment, Liang Yichu was even more certain that the Lin Family Young Master was extraordinary . How would the Old Grandfather Lin have any trash descendants?
He hid really deeply .
He tricked everyone .
“Ha . ” Liang Yichu sighed and shook his head, “Brother Lin’s method opened a bright path for me . Although I am the Liang Family Young Master, there are some things I can’t achieve and can only think about . ”
It really was the case .
The Liang Family internal struggle was really serious .
“You can do it when you become the Liang Family Head . ” Lin Fan said .
“Me?” Liang Yichu shook his head bitterly, “I can’t . ”
“One has to be confident . If you don’t try, how would you know that you can’t? Go back and think about it, you will understand . ” Lin Fan said and signalled that he could leave .
He didn’t like talking to him .
He didn’t give him any rage points .
So what was the point of even talking?
He didn’t even give him a chance to add stat points, so it was really boring .
Liang Yichu cupped his fists, “Okay, I won’t disturb Brother Lin anymore . Today Brother Lin invited refugees to eat, and I couldn’t do anything, so let me treat them . ”
“Are you sure? This meal is at least a hundred silver . ” Lin Fan said .
“Haha . ” Liang Yichu smiled, “I have around ten thousand, so this hundred isn’t a problem . The key is that I enjoyed talking to you . It is worth it, really worth it . ”
“Goodbye . ”
The moment he said that, Liang Yichu walked down .
Lin Fan looked towards Liang Yichu in shock .
Acting cool?
He was indeed acting cool in front of him .
Since he amassed ten thousand silver, a hundred wasn’t much at all .
Oh my god!
The previous time, his father scolded him for just a hundred . Their gap was just so huge!
“Manager Chen, how much have I saved up over the years?” Lin Fan asked .
Manager Chen said softly, “Young Master, you have no savings . ”
Lin Fan was stunned; for the first time, he sensed the gap .
Forget about height .
Forget about looks .
The key was that Liang Yichu was richer than him .
Luckily he didn’t act cool and say that he didn’t look at money when he made friends as no one had more money than him .
He nearly lost face .
“Cousin, I have some savings . If you want I can give you . ” Zhou Zhongmao said .
“How much do you have?” Lin Fan said .
Zhou Zhongmao estimated, “Over these past few years, I saved around two hundred . ”
Lin Fan didn’t want to speak .
Based on what was said, was he the poorest here?
The one in need of economic help the most?

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
