Chapter 38 Lim Ka Tong
Lin Fan searched through all the bodies for anything valuable, and there was lots of it.
Especially from the young lord's body.
All in all, three taels of silver, fifty copper coins and some Qi concentration pills.
After he had kept them, Lin Fan got to work.
With their faces all mangled up or gone from the hammer's strikes, Lin Fan just threw them into the ravine.
Caw.
Caw.
When Lin Fan left, he could hear the crow calling out for its companions.
Ready to feast on the bodies lying deep inside the ravine.
...
Lin Fan went back to the inn as fast as he could with his abilities.
The first thing he did was to release young lord Lim's horse carriage, letting it run away.
Next, he went up to where Ho Ming was waiting for him.
He had instructed Ho Ming to keep an eye on Tan Rui if he made any move.
"Lin Fan, glad you are back." Ho Ming was outside Tan Rui's room with sweaty hands gripping tightly on his sword.
Lin Fan patted him on his back, "Well done, help me slide this piece of paper into Tan Rui's room."
Time was of the essence; he still had many things to do.
He went back to his room, changed into new clothes, wiped his hammer clean.
With all that done, he went down to the well and washed himself up.
When he got back to his room, Ho Ming was done sliding the paper into Tan Rui's room.
"Lin Fan, those men...", Ho Ming asked as Lin Fan entered the room.
"Don't worry. All taken care of, it's either them or me. You better get used to this; it's not going to end soon."
Ho Ming nodded, thinking to himself, he'd better not screw up now.
As his father had said, no one was around to clean up his mess anymore.
"Try and go to sleep. It's going to be a long day ahead."
Lin Fan said and went to sleep.
...
"Yes, young master." Tan Rui's servant bowed and went out.
A few moments later, the servant came back and confirmed that Brother Lim and his servants were not around.
Even their horse carriage was gone.
They must have left the inn in the middle of the night.
Tan Rui thought for a moment, he asked the servant to bring him paper and brush.
He wrote a letter to the Lim family asking whether Brother Lim had returned.
"Here, deliver this letter together with this to the Lim family. Hurry." Tan Rui handed his letter and the piece of paper to the servant.
Tan Rui had to check, the Lim family at Hong Feng city though not as powerful as the Tan family, weren't pushovers.
If something happened to Brother Lim, then he could make use of them to kill off Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan..." Tan Rui murmured as he tried to figure out if it was true, how Lin Fan took on so many people alone.
His view of Lin Fan as just a hunter started to change.
...
When Lin Fan and Ho Ming woke up, they washed up and went down for breakfast.
The dining hall was full of chatter as usual.
After all, today would be the day when they arrive at Qing Feng sect.
A precious chance for them to ascend into higher social status and change their fortunes for their family.
"Today I shall be best to pass the abilities test."
"Are you sure? You don't even have a recommendation letter."
"It's because I have this."
The man put a bottle of pills on the table.
Another then exclaimed that he knew what it was, the pills rumored to enhance their abilities by two times.
Guaranteed to let you pass the abilities test.
Lin Fan shook his head at the obvious ploy to peddle fake pills and make money.
When Lin Fan saw Ho Ming's longing eyes on the fake pills, he snapped him out of it.
"It's most probably fake. These peddlers are just making use of their anxiety to make money."
"I know, it's just that the weight on my shoulders..."
"Don't worry. You will make it," Lin Fan patted him on his back.
Suddenly, the dining hall erupted in a huge roar, "Young master Tan Rui!"@@@@
