Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 390: Convincing the Elders

Fan Family

Fan Ling looked at her grandfather with a grin on her face. Winning against her cousin was very easy. Even though his cultivation was the same as her, Golden Core Stage 1, she had been fighting against many Golden Core Stage 2 cultivators.

As the result, the fight was completely one sided. She had a good time beating her cousin up.

Fan Pei’s face was now like a pig. His scholarly image that he had portrayed before was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he looked so miserable that one might even mistake him for a beggar with how dirty his clothes were. After being tossed around by Fan Ling and burned, it would be a wonder if he didn’t look so bad.

His eyes when he was looking at Fan Ling were filled with hatred and unwillingness. For a proud person like him, it was clear that this was a humiliation he couldn’t stomach.

"You have grown, Ling’er." Old Master Fan was naturally surprised. He knew his granddaughter for a long time and seeing her growth delighted him.

Her progress was much faster for the past few years.

"It’s all thanks to His Highness!" Fan Ling said proudly.

"His Highness?" Fan Pei was looking at Fan Ling with hatred. "You’re saying that country bumpkin can even help you, an arrogant genius..."

Bang!

Flames covered Fan Ling’s fist as she punched Fan Pei once more. Her beautiful face was looking at her cousin icily. Towards this annoying cousin, who was actually could also be categorized as a genius, but it was nothing much in her eyes, she only felt hatred and annoyance.

*cough*

The already pitiful Fan Pei looked even worse after getting another punch from Fan Ling. His eyes were filled with coldness as he stared at Fan Ling before him. To think that he couldn’t even defeat Fan Ling even though he used to be stronger than her.

She was growing too fast.

"I don’t really mind your decision," Old Master Fan said with a hearty laugh. Some elders were looking at their father/uncle/master helplessly. They were already used with Old Master Fan bias to his granddaughter.

After all, Fan Family only have two girls, one was already much older than Fan Ling, the second young miss.

Some elders’ face turned dark. It was clear that they disliked Fan Ling. After all, she was such a brash person and easily offend people with her bluntness and upfront personality. They would prefer calmer person to lead their family rather than such a.... spoiled girl.

"But Master, she’s..."

"But naturally I would like to hear what can that brat offers us." Old Master Fan looked at his granddaughter.

Fan Ling showed a grin. "His Highness is coming here and you’ll know by then. However, I would like to meet with Fan Pan first."

Fan Pan was Fan Pei’s older brother. He was also someone who chose to support Prince Lin Bo Wang and had been seen close to Prince Lin Bo Wang many times in the past. It was to the point that others ended up associating Fan Family with Prince Lin Bo Wang.

Among the younger generation, it was not an exaggeration to say that Fan Pan was one of the best geniuses here. He was already at Golden Core Stage 2 but still didn’t apply for graduation yet since he accompanied Prince Lin Bo Wang in Sun Dragon Academy.

He was there to protect him.

Fan Pei’s eyes widened. "You want to challenge my brother too?"

"Why not?" Fan Ling blinked her eyes, feeling that it was only natural for her to challenge him. If she didn’t defeat him, it was clear that she wouldn’t be able to take the position as the best genius among the younger generation.

"You must be an idiot if you think that you can defeat my brother! He’ll skin you alive and show you what kind of utter humiliation it is to..."

Bam!

Fan Ling felt that her cousin’s mouth was really bad. His usual attitude showed nothing but now that he was in this state, there was no more filter in his words.

"Little Ling, there’s no need for that." Old Master Fan waved his hand. "Fan Pan’s decision will not be the same as me."

"Old Master!"

"Master!"

The elders were stunned when they heard that Old Master Fan stated that he would rather support Fan Ling rather than Fan Pan. Everyone here knew how much of a genius Fan Pan was and thus, it was no brainer for them to pick that young man.

But why would Old Master Fan pick Fan Ling?

"This old bone is already too old and would rather have my girl to stay here to accompany me. That Pan brat is already outside for too long and never even returned back," Old Master Fan complained.

Fan Pei was stunned. He looked at his father and the latter gritted his teeth before contacting Fan Pan. It was true.

Ever since Fan Pan headed to Sun Dragon Academy, it has been nearly 10 years and yet the brat had never even returned home even once. What he did was simply to do whatever he wanted by staying close to Prince Lin Bo Wang.

Since he was already known to be of Fan Family, it was clear that the Fan Family ended up associated to Prince Lin Bo Wang.

"Uncle, I’ll call Fan Pan to return back." Fan Pei’s father said respectfully. Even if he was actually very annoyed, it was clear that he would pull his son back to Fan Family at the cost of anything.

Old Master Fan waved his hand. "Then we shall see how the two of them react when they meet each other."

"Ah?"

It was only now they realized that Fan Ling must have called Lin Xiao to come too. Does it mean that both Fan Pan and Lin Xiao would be meeting each other now? That.... would it end up badly?
