Joke!

What a huge joke!

Lin Fan directly rolled his eyes at Zhuang Hu, openly showing his disdain.

"You probably have some misunderstanding about me, and a huge misconception about your own strength."

If it weren't for Lin Fan sensing Mu Feichen's presence earlier, not wanting the other to see through his power, deliberately hiding it, and being unwilling to act.

Zhuang Hu would already be a dead man!

The funny thing is.

Zhuang Hu thought he had scared Lin Fan dumb, which is why the latter froze in place, motionless.

Little did he know it wasn't that Lin Fan couldn't move, but rather he couldn't be bothered to move.

In Lin Fan's eyes, Zhuang Hu was nothing more than an insignificant ant.

The truly interesting one was the Young Master Mu Feichen of the Biao Bureau.

"Misunderstanding?! Damn bastard, you're really arrogant! If you have the guts, I'll ask the Young Master later, and we'll have another private duel!" Seeing Lin Fan's arrogant demeanor, Zhuang Hu bared his teeth in anger and shouted.

Lin Fan glanced over, curled his lips, and nodded slightly.

He knew if he didn't teach Zhuang Hu a lesson, this guy would definitely keep bothering him, believing he could easily defeat Lin Fan.

Since Mu Feichen had already revealed himself, Lin Fan also knew the other's details.

So there was no point in holding back his power.

Mu Feichen was smart and would eventually find out.

Might as well let Mu Feichen have a big scare and witness his terror.

"Sure!" Zhuang Hu, seeing Lin Fan nod, smiled broadly, eyes flashing with anger, glaring fiercely at Lin Fan. "You said it! You better not cheat! I'll ask the Young Master later; if you chicken out, you'll get on your knees and call me grandpa three times! Then I'll let you go!"

"Ignorant."

Lin Fan didn't keep any harsh words back, just casually dropped those two words and walked past Zhuang Hu with big strides.

Zhuang Hu was furious!

But.

Before consulting Mu Feichen, he dared not act rashly.

Because.

This could affect the Biao Bureau's business.

The Biao Bureau's business thrives on trust, assurance, and guarantee. If a Darts Master causes trouble outside, creating enemies, who would trust this Darts Master for protection?

If there are too many enemies and someone makes a move, things get robbed, and there's nowhere to find them.

Therefore.

Darts Masters usually are very restrained, avoiding causing trouble outside.

Mu Feichen wouldn't allow his Darts Masters to act this way either.

Even though Zhuang Hu could dominate in this Nameless Village, he had to be obedient in front of Mu Feichen!

After all.

Mu Feichen's identity, status, cultivation, and skills are undeniable.

There's no choice but to obey.

Without Mu Feichen's approval, he absolutely dared not act rashly. Which means his earlier trouble with Lin Fan was under Mu Feichen's instruction.

Onlookers, seeing Mu Feichen, Zhuang Hu, Zhu Qilue, and Lin Fan all leave and the liveliness gone, also dispersed.

Yet doubts continued to circulate among the crowd.

"Why is Zhu Qilue here? What's his true intention?"

"Gong Wenya seized the Fire Clan, what is a Fire Clan prince doing here, something's amiss."

"He might have fled to this place, perhaps seeking refuge from another force."

"Are you mistaken, that's Gong Wenya! Who dares oppose Gong Wenya?"

"Throughout the Five Elements Realm, those capable of battling Gong Wenya are few, Lan Zhengqing counts as one. Moreover, I've heard Lan Zhengqing has good relations with Zhu Qilue's sister, Zhu Ruoling."

"Mu Feichen is also puzzling; he hasn't been here in ages, why did he suddenly appear today and coincidentally meet Zhu Qilue..."

People speculated endlessly, but they couldn't know the real answers, so they resorted to various conspiracy theories to satisfy their curiosity.

Mu Feichen, along with Zhu Qilue, arrived at the temporary location of Guiyuan Biao Bureau in the Nameless Village.

Lin Fan looked at the extravagant entrance, with carved dragons and phoenixes, majestic and impressive, looking more like a bank rather than a Biao Bureau!

If one didn't have some wealth, walking into this place would surely feel inferior.

Seeing the astonished expressions on Zhu Qilue and Lin Fan's faces, Mu Feichen was full of pride and arrogance, introducing, "This is our temporary site in the Nameless Village. Since time was tight, it's not grand, just improvising. We'll rebuild when we have time, mainly because business is booming, busy day in and day out, alas, just making do."

His words were laced with arrogance.

This is the most luxurious place in the Nameless Village, quite impressive at first sight.

If this is just making do, it's hard to imagine how luxurious Guiyuan Biao Bureau's headquarters might be.

Lin Fan was quite displeased with Mu Feichen's arrogance. Just a lousy place, what's with the show-off!

"Your Biao Bureau is certainly conspicuous."

"Indeed! Nameless Village's tallest and most luxurious building is ours, visible from anywhere, even Wenyu City's tallest can see us."

"True, luckily you've got some skill, otherwise building such a showy building might easily get you attacked. A Biao Bureau is about hiding, yet you flaunt it boldly, not afraid of theft. If I were a robber, my first choice to rob would be here!"

Lin Fan observed the surroundings with interest, his eyes flashing coldly, seemingly considering a robbery.

Mu Feichen's expression instantly turned unpleasant; who talks about robbery on a first visit, especially at a Biao Bureau where robbery is most forbidden! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Such arrogant and bold people, Mu Feichen had never encountered.

Zhu Qilue quickly laughed it off, trying to smooth things over.

"Haha, don't mind, Young Master Mu, my friend is straightforward, says whatever is on his mind, he doesn't actually mean it."

Zhu Qilue smiled apologetically, winking at Lin Fan to shut him up. Internally sighing, only Lin Fan would dare say something like this in person.

"Really?! No such intention, I think he just lacks the ability!" Zhuang Hu sneered from the side, continuously provoking, trying to anger Lin Fan.

But.

One can only be provoked when they take the other seriously.

However.

Lin Fan didn't even consider Zhuang Hu worth noticing, so no matter how he provoked, Lin Fan remained unmoved.

Just like a top student, indifferent to the scores of an underachiever, naturally disregarding their challenges for a competition.

Yet Zhuang Hu mistook Lin Fan's disdain for cowardice.

Seeing Lin Fan silent, he became more unrestrained in his ridicule.

"Ha, what's with the show! Just a pathetic, unnoticed guy probably fleeing here, never retaliating, people might mistake you for being mute."

Zhuang Hu grew more brazen, repeatedly provoking Lin Fan.

Lin Fan remained unmoved, even scratching his ear and yawning.

"Brother Zhu, did you hear a dog's bark, so loud! Mu Feichen, do you raise dogs here? What breed? The barking is so loud, like shouting right by my ear."
