Chapter 392: Senior, Am I Good Enough?

Zhen Xiaobao’s change filled Xu Furong with so much envy that he was about to explode .

Junior brother was so thin and so dumb, but he had managed to become so strong . He was filled with regret . If he knew that there were such benefits, he would have definitely sucked up to Lin Fan . He would even go further than junior brother .

But what he didn’t know was that this required faith . Without trusting Lin Fan, even if he licked him till his tongue tore apart, it would also be useless .

Lin Fan looked at Xu Furong’s expression .

It was the expression of someone who wanted to suck up to him .

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the right to do so .

He realized that it was really difficult for him to find someone who had faith in him . It wasn’t as easy as he imagined . The fact that Zhen Xiaobao was able to trust him was quite difficult .

Zhen Xiaobao was delighted .

The look he gave Lin Fan was different . Maybe this was worship . No, this was faith even higher than that of worship .

Zhu Shen felt like things became more and more magical .

Young Master Lin had too many secrets on his body, so many that one lost count . However, he didn’t ask him anything .

Anyway, they were on the same side, so there was no point in asking so much .

There was no need to do so .

At this moment, Lin Fan was thinking about whether the two thickest faith lines belonged to Gou’zi and Cousin . He would probably find out when he returned to Martial Path Mountain .

If it was true, then he didn’t need to worry much about his cousin’s safety .

He was even thinking that this was a really good thing .

Cousin was really talented but it didn’t depend on talent to reach such a realm . One needed time . Without a few decades, it would be near impossible for one to reach Dao Realm .

He was thinking about how much power this faith gave them . What realm did it raise them to? He was uncertain and would only know when he met them .

Imperial Dynasty .

King Wutong started from the basics .

He tried his best and started to recruit talented people who were by his side . Of course, the key thing was that they had to be loyal .

As a strategist, Liu Xuan had started to plan for his way out . He had close contact with the Alliance and had become their pawn in keeping a lookout for King Wutong .

“Sir Liu . ”

“Sir Liu . ”

In the Liu Manor reading room, Liu Xuan sat down and looked at the few generals and officials around .

These were all people who he had recruited . At the same time, they were people who leaned towards having a close relationship with the Alliance .

“You all should know about what has been happening recently . A few generals made mistakes and were killed by King Wutong . This dispirited many people . After all, we are all people who rose up alongside King Wutong . Even if we didn’t have any obvious credit, we did work hard for him . He killed those people like that without giving them any face at all . ” Liu Xuan said .

The people around sighed .

“Hais, of course, we are dispirited . ”

“That’s right, I always felt like this thing would happen to me . ”

The generals and officials were all terrified when they thought about it . They all didn’t dare to think about when it would happen to them .

“Now, Zu Xiang is respected by King Wutong and he is climbing above our heads . He is King Wutong’s blade and is hanging on our necks . He is just waiting for a chance to kill us . ”

“If we want to live, then we have to find a second option . ”

Liu Xuan really didn’t expect Zu Xiang to climb the ranks so quickly .

Suddenly, noise spread out from outside .

“Master is meeting guests . You all can’t rush in like that . ” The butler stopped but the next thing he heard was his cries . It was like he was kicked to the ground .

Peng!

The door of the reading room was kicked open .

Liu Xuan stood up and chided, “Zu Xiang, what do you want to do?”

When he saw Zu Xiang, his face became really ugly . It was really dark and sunken .

“I received news that someone was gathering here and thinking about rebelling, so I came to take a look . Who knew that it was all of you having a chat here . Don’t blame me, I will inform King Wutong about this . ” Zu Xiang remembered everyone who was present .

Some turned away like they were hiding their faces so that Zu Xiang didn’t see them .

But that wasn’t useful at all .

“Scram out now . ” Liu Xuan hollered . He pointed at the door and wanted Zu Xiang to leave right away .

If the heavens gave him a chance to go back in time, he would definitely kill Zu Xiang without any hesitation at all .

The fellow who he tossed to dig stones was now above him, that was something that he hadn’t expected .

“Sir Liu, please don’t be so emotional . Since you are not rebelling, then I will take my leave . ” Zu Xiang smiled and cupped his fists . But before he left, his gaze towards everyone caused them to panic .

They felt like the situation was a little off .

After Zu Xiang left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief .

“Sir Liu, is King Wutong really going to clear us out?” An official asked carefully . He was really afraid . Being by the ruler’s side is like staying beside a tiger . However, he didn’t cause any problems recently, so why was he a target?

Liu Xuan’s expression was really ugly . He didn’t reply as he was considering something .

Maybe they had to execute their plan right away .

He felt like King Wutong wanted to mess with him, he was just finding a chance to do so .

“All of you better be careful during this period of time . ” Liu Xuan said .

The Alliance controlled 28 cities and formed an unbreakable defense net . He also knew that the Alliance not only wanted these 28, but they wanted many more .

The Alliance and King Wutong’s cooperation still continued but his cooperation with them was in the dark . No one knew anything about it .

Zu Xiang left Liu Manor with a slight smile on his face .

He had already successfully climbed to this position and understood that King Wutong was using him as a blade . However, he didn’t care . Only by proving that he was useful would people use him . If one had no use at all, then one would be abandoned by others .

King Wutong told him to come to the Liu Manor to deal with Liu Xuan .

He was glad to do that .

Inside the capital, the Alliance envoy stood in front of King Wutong, “I heard that your majesty wants to clear out your officials, isn’t that too heartless?”

King Wutong smiled, “How is that heartless? I just don’t like sharing honor and glory with people . Moreover, they think they did a lot and are arrogant . Leaving them alive is only a problem . I have no choice but to clear them out . ”

The envoy looked at King Wutong and shook his head . However, in the depths of his heart, he felt wary .

He felt like King Wutong knew that the Alliance had already infiltrated the Imperial Dynasty .

This wasn’t particularly important to the Alliance . With the land they controlled now, the Alliance was extremely huge .

“Eh, this is your matter, so I can’t say much . But now, the world is so chaotic; there is Buddhist Alliance, Celestial Alliance, Demon Alliance, and Evil Alliance . What are your views on this?” The envoy asked .

This matter gave the Alliance a huge headache .

Those powers were all formed by numerous top sects, so to attack them would be asking for trouble . But if Imperial Dynasty could help to suppress them, then it would be a good thing .

It was perfect if they could reach their goals without expending a single person or troop .

King Wutong said, “There is nothing I can do, the Imperial Dynasty is too weak and there is nothing we can do with the top sects . If the Alliance wants to attack them, then we will definitely send people to help you . ”

What he meant by people was of course normal soldiers .

The envoy smiled . He only had one thought to what King Wutong just said, which was that he was truly vicious enough .

To send normal soldiers to fight with the sects would no doubt be sending cannon fodder . They weren’t even worthy of being cannon fodder .

“The Alliance is planning this matter, so when we have the plan, we need your majesty to help us . ” The envoy said .

King Wutong smiled . He only thought of them as a bunch of dogs .

The Alliance occupied 28 cities but didn’t think about returning them to the Imperial Dynasty . At the same time, they continued to expand . It was useless even if King Wutong objected .

The main reason was that the people here were all natives . If they expanded too quickly it would cause make them unhappy . This was why the Alliance Headquarters wanted to slowly convert them, to make them feel a sense of belonging .

The Alliance Headquarters had a simple thought which was to capture the natives, kill a portion of them, and make the rest slaves .

But those peaceful faction people objected . At the same time, they gained the support of the Alliance public which resulted in that plan going to waste .

Now that they had already blown wide the gates of the natives what was the point in peace?

Couldn’t they just kill them all?

But they couldn’t do that as the peace faction was working hard to stop them .

The various colleges started to send their students over to the Rich Land for their graduation missions .

There was also another problem which was Hell Mountain, Ocean Emperor Island and the other powers were having conflicts with the Alliance . The Alliance gained so many benefits, but they received nothing at all . After all, they did contribute a lot too .

This was a huge problem .

The Alliance couldn’t ignore them and that would be of no benefit to their development . They could only delay and drag conversations with them .

… .

Lin Fan and the group walked backward . Along the way, they didn’t notice anything .

This filled Lin Fan with disappointment .

A journey without problems was boring . He hoped that he would face problems and then he could offend them and gain more rage points to raise his strength .

“Senior, what about me?” Xu Furong couldn’t help but suck up to Lin Fan . After Zhen Xiaobao bragged to him several times, he couldn’t help but ask Lin Fan .

Lin Fan glanced at him . “Not yet . ”

His reply was simple .

It dealt a huge blow to Xu Furong’s heart .

“Not… Not yet…”

Xu Furong was filled with disbelief . Even his junior brother could, but someone as smart as him couldn’t . That didn’t make sense at all .

He really didn’t want to accept it .

At that moment, even Lin Fan himself didn’t know how to quickly let others trust and believe him .
