After a night of adjusting his energy, Lin Fan felt his blood and energy flourishing within.

He tasted the feeling of being at the peak once again.

“Unfortunately, there’s still a bit lacking in firepower…”

Getting up from the bed, he furrowed his brow and muttered.

Outside, the sky was already bright.

Lin Fan went out to stretch his limbs and then returned to freshen up thoroughly.

The atmosphere at the breakfast table seemed somewhat odd.

Wu Miaomiao exchanged glances with Huang Xiaoya occasionally, revealing a hint of hostility toward each other.

Ying Yutang, Xia Bingbing, and Yuan Youwei had clearly bonded, whispering to each other.

Lin Fan briefly recounted the events of last night to Yuan Youwei, asking her to help Feng Cui assemble a team to manage the fund.

The latter was thoughtful but did not decline, readily agreeing.

After all, the Yuan family’s Yuandao Capital was the largest investment bank in the Southwest provinces.

Yuan Youwei was certainly adept and familiar with these financial affairs.

“I’m going to school for classes, I won’t be back at noon… do you want to come and see?”

Huang Xiaoya put down her bowl and said softly, her eyes fixed on Lin Fan.

“Go, of course, we must go. We are all Xiao Ya’s good sisters, definitely going to cheer her on!”

Xia Bingbing’s eyes sparkled, fearing the world isn’t chaotic enough, and nodded energetically.

Yuan Youwei and the others also smiled and nodded in agreement.

“Why go? It’s a medical skill contest, an academic exchange you won’t understand.”

Lin Fan hesitated but still shook his head at the eager looks from the others.

No way, these girls are all extraordinarily beautiful.

If they all went together, they would surely become the center of attention on campus.

He didn’t want to be too high-profile and embarrass Huang Xiaoya.

“What do you mean? Xiao Ya invited us, what does it have to do with you?”

Xia Bingbing pouted in displeasure, grumbling coolly.

Yuan Youwei and the others were also a bit surprised, exchanging glances.

“The person she’s competing against today is old Jiang. Who will you support then?”

Lin Fan winced, pointing at himself helplessly.

“They’re all my disciples; how do you expect me to choose?”

What, what?

Huang Xiaoya’s opponent in today’s medical contest is Doctor Jiang, that old guy?

Then we definitely have to go and cheer for our good sister.

No way can we lose to that old guy!

“Lin Fan, we’re all definitely supporting Xiao Ya. If you’re having trouble, support your old disciple.”

Yuan Youwei had a mischievous grin, speaking a bit gleefully.

“Brother, I can only support young sister Xiao Ya, I’m not familiar with Doctor Jiang.”

Ying Yutang shook her head apologetically.

“I don’t really care, whoever Young Master supports, I will support.”

Wu Miaomiao cast Lin Fan a coquettish glance, provocatively licking the porridge grain at her lip.

“Hey, you hear that? If your disciple loses to Xiao Ya, don’t cry saying it’s your fault as a teacher!”

Xia Bingbing scrunched her delicate nose at Lin Fan and then laughed happily with the others.

“Boss, tasting hardship now, right? Who told you to stir up so much?”

Wang Meng nudged Lin Fan with his elbow, showing a knowing look only men understand.

“Looks like you’ve eaten enough, go find Old Marshal Wang and tell him clearly about what I explained last night.”

Lin Fan glared at Wang Meng with a dark expression.

Did he willingly provoke these matters?

It was clearly them being clingy, unable to drive them away…

“Alright, I’ll go right away.”

Upon this reminder, Wang Meng’s face tensed, nodding vigorously.

He’s been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Who would’ve thought, dreams do come true!

After breakfast, Yuan Youwei and Mrs. Xue accompanied Mr. Yuan Sr. to explore the city’s historical and cultural sites.

Xia Bingbing drove off to work, leaving Wu Miaomiao bored, playing on her phone while sneaking glances at Lin Fan.

“Sir, you’ll need to put some effort into Wang Meng’s matter.”

Lin Fan sat in the garden gazebo with Mr. Xia Sr., explaining his plans.

“This isn’t too difficult. Since you’ve avenged your grievances already, you’re sure you don’t plan to return to Hulin Guard?”

Mr. Xia Sr. shook his head, with complicated emotions advising.

“I know you’ve achieved success in the business realm… but your talents in the battlefield would have a broader space to flourish.”

“My mother’s revenge is not yet complete; I must ensure that those from Xuanwu Mountain who forced her to death pay as well.”

Lin Fan paused, briefly explaining the background.

The elder listened with a shocked expression, sighing profusely.

“I never thought even the Ying family, such a wealthy family, was just a manager for a Hidden Sect?”

Mr. Xia Sr. furrowed his brows, eyes revealed resolute determination.

“If those people extend their power too deep and far, it could be detrimental to Xia Country.”

“When that day comes, I’ll certainly intervene. Whoever dares, I’ll destroy them!”

Lin Fan’s gaze grew colder, declaring decisively.

“Good, your resolve reassures me I haven’t misjudged you! Lin Fan, though your actions are somewhat rebellious, you’re indeed walking the righteous path.”

“We are old now, protecting the country will ultimately fall on the younger generation.”

Mr. Xia Sr. smiled contentedly, patting Lin Fan’s shoulder.

“Your willingness to help Wang Yang and the others is commendable… I believe the higher-ups have noted your actions.”

“You should realize; without their tacit consent, given what you’ve done these past two days, you’d already be in big trouble!”

“Yes, I’ve kept it in mind, and I don’t resent them for sentencing me back then.”

Lin Fan nodded thoughtfully, feeling sentimental.

“Lin Fan, Fatty Chu is here looking for you.”

Just then, Tie Hao approached, looking odd.

“That guy was grounded at home by his father, and finally got released?”

Lin Fan was taken aback, looking towards the front gate.

Since that night Fatty Chu was called home, he’s disappeared.

Lin Fan almost forgot he had such a little brother.

“It’s only because you came out unscathed, defeating the Ying and Shen Families, that the Chu family dared let that fat guy continue associating with you.”

Regarding this, Tie Hao disdainfully shook his head.

“Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is instinctive; it’s natural for the Chu family to remain neutral.”

Mr. Xia Sr. stood up, waved goodbye, and left smiling.

“I won’t interfere in your young people’s affairs; you go have your fun.”

“Brother Lin, I’ve missed you to death; I was stifled beyond measure!”

From the gate, Fatty Chu shouted as he bounded over to Lin Fan.

His small eyes blinked, and his smile was rather lecherous.

“I heard campus beauty Huang is competing in a medical skill contest, can you take me along?”

“Are you going for? You’re not in her department; do you understand professional exchanges?”

Lin Fan chuckled in irritation, rolling his eyes.

This guy is clearly scheming, not caring about himself.

“I may not understand, but Huang’s beautiful roommates will surely go!”

Fatty Chu snickered, his face gleeful.

“This academic exchange is hosted by Principal Sun in person, and entry slots were prefixed and grabbed early.”

“If I had a way, I wouldn’t have bothered you.”

“…Alright, I’ll tell Xiao Ya and ask for an extra entry pass for you.”

Lin Fan nodded, texting Huang Xiaoya a voice note.

Taking a group is the same, and one more doesn’t hurt.

“Your Sister Bingbing will also be going, keep a low profile and don’t cause any trouble.”

Reflecting on the year at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Lin Fan felt slightly nostalgic.

That place was his alma mater.

Wondering how many old friends he’ll still see this time?

“Thanks, Brother, I’ll definitely keep a low profile and not cause any trouble!”

Fatty Chu jumped exuberantly, happily leaving.

“Remember, we’ll go together, don’t forget to call me!”
