When Lin Fan opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a face that begged for a beating.
But none of that really mattered anymore.
Luckily, he arrived just in time and forcefully squeezed into a spot.
Otherwise, he might have had to search for another pregnant woman about to give birth, and then another pair of twins would be born.
“Divine Heaven Stage, Third Level.”
“Divine Heaven Stage, Tenth Level.”
With just one glance, Lin Fan immediately understood. The man and the woman lying on the bed had extremely weak cultivation—practically trash.
Without overthinking, Lin Fan then entered his inner world, where a seal blocked all his powers.
It would take some time to gradually undo this seal.
But Lin Fan didn’t care. He had plenty of time now, and he had already understood what the people around him were saying.
It seemed the language knowledge of the Carefree Prince had already been transferred into his mind.
Now, the only thing Lin Fan needed to do was to remove the seal and slowly regain his strength.
As Lin Fan was thinking about all this, he suddenly felt something blocking his mouth.
He opened his eyes.
Damn it…
The Emperor refuses milk…
But right now, Lin Fan didn’t feel like saying much. Fine, whatever.
“Master, please name the child,” the woman feeding him said.
“Dear, why don’t you name him?” Lin Haoming replied with a smile.
The slightly exhausted woman looked at the two infants in her arms and said, “For the boy, I just hope he lives a simple and ordinary life. Let’s name him Lin Fan.”
The suffering Lin Fan immediately exclaimed in shock upon hearing the name, “The hell you say Lin Fan!”
As for the girl’s name, Lin Fan no longer paid any attention.
The Lin family had given birth to a pair of boy and girl twins, which caused quite a stir in Shenglong City.
To others, the Lin family head was useless in almost everything, but at least he was impressive when it came to having children.
The heads of other families sneered, claiming Lin Haoming was a good-for-nothing, and children born from him would be of no use either.
Seasons changed, coming and going, again and again.
Three years passed.
Thirty percent of the seal had been lifted, and Lin Fan had regained a significant portion of his strength.
Shenglong City wasn’t much—there were no real experts here, with the strongest only reaching the Sovereign Stage.
With the power he had regained at merely three years old, he could already sweep through the entire city.
However, from birth until now, Lin Fan rarely spoke. He usually just lay there blankly or sat by the small bridge in the courtyard, lost in thought.
In truth, Lin Fan had been constantly working to undo the seal. Only when his full power was restored would he feel a bit of security.
No one knew exactly when, but everyone in Shenglong City came to know that Lin Haoming’s son was a bit slow.
He couldn’t speak.
He never cried or caused trouble.
He was simply not quite right in the head.
This had become a laughingstock throughout Shenglong City.
Even so, Lin Fan couldn’t be bothered to care.
At least the Lin family wasn’t full of scheming, and the servants dared not bully him.
This foster family had given him two older sisters and a younger sister.
His two older sisters often came to bother Lin Fan, but he had no interest in playing with two little brats, so he usually ignored them.
He let them play with him as they pleased.
At first, Lin Fan thought that by ignoring them, they would soon lose interest. But he never expected that the two girls would only become more enthusiastic, coming every day to mess with him.
Eventually, Lin Fan just gave up and let them do as they pleased.
After all, removing the seal didn’t require much commotion.
As he aged, his power would naturally be released gradually.
Each day spent chipping away at the seal helped it dissolve faster.
“Fan’er, your father got you a wooden horse. Come ride it,” Lin Haoming said cheerfully.
Despite the rumors circulating outside that his son was a bit dim, Lin Haoming refused to believe it.
What did those outsiders know anyway? His son was just modest, deep, mature, and simply didn’t like to talk.
A wooden rocking horse was placed in front of Lin Fan.
Seeing this, Lin Fan didn’t really feel like saying anything.
Are you mocking the Emperor by making me play with a wooden horse?
But in the end…
Lin Fan straddled the horse, arms folded, letting Lin Haoming push it back and forth.
“My son is amazing! He doesn’t even need his hands to ride!” Lin Haoming proudly declared.
Lin Fan: “…”
Five years later…
Seven layers of the seal had been undone, but he still didn’t make a big deal out of it, maintaining his low profile.
“Master, it’s time for dinner,” a respectful maid called out.
“Mm,” Lin Fan slightly moved his throat.
Lin Fan started speaking on his own initiative because the rumors had spread too far. Once, he saw the woman who had carried him as a mother crying alone, which made him feel quite awkward.
From then on, he began to give simple responses.
Oh!
Mm!
Got it!
No need!
…
Although Lin Fan spoke little, he did break the rumors circulating outside.
The young master of the Lin family wasn’t mute—he just didn’t like to speak.
During these years, while Lin Fan continued working to undo the seal, he also came to understand the power structure of Shenglong City.
There were eight families in total. The other seven were powerful, while the Lin family was the weakest.
Lin Fan didn’t care much about this. As long as no one provoked him directly, he couldn’t be bothered to act.
The girl born around the same time as him, once she could run and talk, also often came to bother him.
From then on, every morning after waking up, three girls would constantly play with him.
They ran wildly around the courtyard, desperately trying to feed Lin Fan delicious food.
Sometimes, Lin Fan felt quite melancholic.
Being too cute and popular was also a kind of punishment.
From time to time, Lin Haoming would also come by, bringing various toys. These toys left Lin Fan at a loss for words.
But each time, he tried his best to cooperate.
Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless toward this family.
If he had known it would be like this, he would have chosen a less comedic family.
Or at least one with deep hatred, where no one would care about a strange character.
Another two years passed.
Lin Haoming brought many martial cultivation techniques.
Seeing these techniques, Lin Fan wasn’t particularly interested.
Such weak techniques weren’t worth wasting time on. It was better to focus on undoing the seal.
From then on, another rumor spread about him.
The Lin family’s young master was a useless talentless brat who couldn’t even cultivate…
Lin Fan didn’t care about these rumors at all. If a true expert could be easily affected by gossip, could they even be considered an expert?
What surprised Lin Fan, however, was that Lin Haoming only showed disappointment once. After that, he never displayed any unusual expressions and instead treated Lin Fan with even more affection, as if he owed him something.
Regarding these situations, Lin Fan really didn’t want to say much.
However, the three girls who constantly clung to him had surprisingly good cultivation talent. Within just a few short years, they had reached the Wilderness Heaven Stage and were on the verge of breaking into the Divine Heaven Stage.
Three years later…
