Xiao Family.
The Xiao Family.
“Young master, you’re back. The family head is waiting for you in the front hall,” the butler at the door greeted immediately upon seeing the young master return.
Despite the recent rumors, the butler, who had served the Xiao family for decades, still trusted the young master, dismissing the gossip as mere nonsense.
Xiao Ze had been walking with his head down, seemingly deep in thought. Upon hearing the butler’s voice, he nodded and headed towards the front hall.
The first lecture had initially left Xiao Ze quite disappointed. Such verbal persuasion seemed nothing more than a way to deceive people. His decision to join the Ding Class seemed somewhat reckless and would undoubtedly affect his future martial arts path.
However, being at the sixth level of the innate stage, there was hardly anyone in the Tianfu Academy who could teach him. His path forward would have to be forged by himself.
As for joining a sect, Xiao Ze had indeed considered it, but he was still pondering which sect to join.
Yet, the few hours of lecture from the teacher he had initially looked down upon this morning had sparked many thoughts in Xiao Ze.
It was as if his mind had suddenly opened up, bringing a new understanding to what he had previously learned.
Xiao Ze’s natural talent and comprehension were already high, and the short story told by Lin Fan this morning had further enhanced his comprehension.
With this increased comprehension, he naturally began to question his previous learnings, identifying areas of deficiency and gaining new insights.
However, since Xiao Ze had only listened to Lin Fan’s lecture for a short time, this newfound comprehension would naturally require a gradual process to fully develop.
Front Hall.
Xiao Zhanfeng, the head of the Xiao family, sat expressionless, even somewhat angry.
The tea on the side table had long since cooled.
He had just heard the rumor that his son had become a disciple of a Ding Class teacher, which infuriated him. The young master of the prestigious Xiao family, a genius of the Tianfu Academy, had now willingly degraded himself by becoming a disciple of a Ding Class teacher. Was he trying to completely tarnish the family’s reputation?
“Father, you wanted to see me?” Xiao Ze entered the front hall and, seeing his father’s expression, knew that his decision to become a disciple had been discovered.
Yesterday’s events had already angered his father, and Xiao Ze knew that if he didn’t provide a satisfactory explanation today, things wouldn’t be easily resolved.
“This morning, your teacher came by and said you joined the Ding Class. Is this true?” Xiao Zhanfeng asked calmly, like a sleeping lion ready to pounce at any moment.
“Yes,” Xiao Ze nodded.
At that moment, the previously calm Xiao Zhanfeng suddenly slammed the tea table, spilling the tea everywhere. “Have you lost your mind? Instead of staying in the Jia Class, you joined the Ding Class. Do you know how many people are laughing at our family now? You’ve completely tarnished the Xiao family’s reputation. Do you understand?”
“Tell me, why did you join?” Xiao Zhanfeng demanded sternly. If he didn’t get a satisfactory answer today, he decided to visit the academy and confront this Ding Class teacher to see what method he used to make his son abandon the Jia Class for his Ding Class.
Xiao Ze remained silent for a while. Why did he join? He had thought about this question before, but every time it came to mind, he remembered the feeling of the disciplinary ruler striking his buttocks.
Perhaps it was to experience that feeling again that he decided to become a disciple.
But Xiao Ze naturally couldn’t say that. “Father, the Ding Class teacher is a master. Currently, the teachers in the Jia Class can’t offer me any further help, but this Ding Class teacher defeated me in a single move. I believe I can learn more by staying by his side.”
Xiao Ze’s words were somewhat against his conscience.
Xiao Zhanfeng looked at Xiao Ze and, seeing that he wasn’t joking, gradually calmed down. He knew Xiao Ze’s strength—sixth level of the innate stage, practicing the family’s ancestral techniques. In terms of strength, he could even compete with those at the seventh level.
“Really?” Xiao Zhanfeng asked.
“Yes, father. This morning, the master gave me a lecture, and now my mind is filled with many questions. I seem to have gained new insights into the techniques I’ve been practicing. If there’s nothing else, I’d like to go back and contemplate further,” Xiao Ze said.
Seeing that Xiao Ze seemed sincere, Xiao Zhanfeng finally waved his hand, letting him leave. He then fell into deep thought. Could it really be true?
The next day.
Lin Fan told the students another story and, after improving their qualifications, quickly left the Tianfu Academy.
Last night, Lin Fan had tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking about the events of the entire night.
What if the “Little Heavenly Pill” was real? What if some fool actually exchanged it for Xuanhuang coins?
The world is vast and full of wonders, with all kinds of people. How could one measure others’ thoughts with their own?
This was definitely a mistake.
If the “Little Heavenly Pill” was real and I managed to get it, swallowed it, immediately rose to the Little Heavenly stage, and returned to the sect in glory, wouldn’t I be treated like a treasure?
To do or not to do, it all depends on a single thought.
Regardless of what others do, Lin Fan decided to go for it.
There were only two days left before the auction. Strike first, or suffer later.
If I wait until someone else wins the bid, it’ll be too late to snatch it.
Such a valuable item wouldn’t be bid on by a single person; they would definitely act in groups. My brick might be powerful, but it can’t take down a group at once.
So I must get it beforehand.
Lin Fan arrived at the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce, blending in as a casual browsing customer.
The chamber was crowded, with various items on display for people to choose from.
The auction of the “Little Heavenly Pill” had attracted many sects, and during this idle time, their disciples naturally wandered around, perhaps finding something they liked.
Lin Fan’s eyes darted around, searching for anything suspicious. If the “Little Heavenly Pill” was real, it would be a priceless treasure, surely kept in some secret location.
But where exactly?
Lin Fan found a spot, then entered a state of invisibility, beginning his chaotic search throughout the chamber.
After searching for a long, long time, Lin Fan was almost ready to give up.
Where the hell is it?
Just then, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up. He saw a middle-aged man with a very high status, surrounded by a group of people, heading inside.
Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy. This guy must be a high-ranking official. Without further thought, he immediately followed, hoping this might lead him to the “Little Heavenly Pill.”
Lin Fan hid in a corner of a secret room, not daring to breathe, because a figure that chilled him to the bone appeared before him.
Emperor Yan.
Just as Lin Fan was about to strike the high-ranking official with his brick, the space suddenly rippled, scaring Lin Fan so much that he crouched in the corner, not daring to make a sound.
At the same time, Lin Fan was glad he hadn’t acted, or it would have been a real tragedy.
As the two conversed, Lin Fan’s heart grew uneasy. He hadn’t expected to stumble upon a series of dark secrets.
The “Little Heavenly Pill” actually belonged to Emperor Yan.
After Emperor Yan finished his business and left, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. The high-ranking official then placed the “Little Heavenly Pill” in a secret location, which, of course, wasn’t a secret to Lin Fan, as he had watched the entire process without missing a single detail.
Once the high-ranking official left satisfied, Lin Fan immediately opened the secret spot. A beautiful brocade box appeared before him. Without hesitation, Lin Fan took out the pill inside.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Heaven-grade top-quality pill ‘Rage Blood Pill.'”
“Rage Blood Pill: Temporarily increases the user’s cultivation level. After the effect wears off, the user will explode and die.”
“This is a pill that has never appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm.”
“After consumption, experience +2,000,000.”
As expected, there was no such thing as the “Little Heavenly Pill.” It was all a scam.
What Lin Fan couldn’t understand was, why was Emperor Yan doing this? What was his goal?
All of this puzzled Lin Fan.
A conspiracy, definitely a huge conspiracy.
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt the weight of his responsibility. As a person filled with justice and love, having witnessed this dark secret, how could he just leave?
A voice echoed in Lin Fan’s heart.
“Save everyone.”
This was a sacred and arduous task, but Lin Fan wasn’t afraid. Even if misunderstood by the world, Lin Fan would stop this transaction and prevent everyone from falling into Emperor Yan’s trap.
Lin Fan gathered his courage, swallowed the pill, then took off his pants, defecated in the brocade box, wiped his butt, pulled up his pants, closed the box, and placed it back in its original spot.
What followed would be Lin Fan’s path to saving all beings. Although this path would be tough and difficult, and he might not gain everyone’s understanding, Lin Fan wasn’t afraid.
After all, he was a person filled with justice and love.
If I don’t enter hell, who will?
The Xiao Family.
“Young master, you’re back. The family head is waiting for you in the front hall,” the butler at the door greeted immediately upon seeing the young master return.
Despite the recent unfavorable rumors, having served as the Xiao family’s butler for decades, he still firmly believed in the young master, dismissing those rumors as mere nonsense.
Xiao Ze had been walking with his head down the entire way back, seemingly deep in thought. Upon hearing the butler’s voice, he nodded and proceeded towards the front hall.
The first lecture had initially left Xiao Ze quite disappointed. Such verbal teachings were nothing more than attempts to bewitch the mind. His decision to become a disciple of the Ding Class seemed somewhat reckless and was bound to affect his future martial arts journey.
However, now that he had reached the sixth level of the Innate Realm, there was hardly anyone in the Tianfu Academy who could guide him further. His path would have to be forged by himself.
As for joining a sect, Xiao Ze had indeed considered it, but he was still contemplating which sect to join.
Yet, the few hours of lecture from the teacher he had initially looked down upon this morning had sparked many thoughts in Xiao Ze.

Instead of staying in the Jia Class, you joined the Ding Class. Do you know how many people are laughing at our Xiao family now? You’ve completely tarnished the Xiao family’s reputation. Do you understand?”
“Tell me, why did you join?” Xiao Zhanfeng demanded sharply. If he didn’t get a satisfactory answer today, he decided to visit the academy and see what methods this Ding Class teacher used to make his son abandon the Jia Class and join his Ding Class.

Xiao Ze’s words were somewhat against his conscience.
Xiao Zhanfeng looked at Xiao Ze and, seeing that he wasn’t joking, gradually calmed down. He knew Xiao Ze’s strength—sixth level of the Innate Realm, practicing the Xiao family’s ancestral techniques. In terms of strength, he could even contend with someone at the seventh level of the Innate Realm.
“Really?” Xiao Zhanfeng asked.
“Yes, Father. This morning, the master gave me a lecture, and now my mind is filled with many questions. I seem to have gained new insights into the techniques I’ve been practicing. If there’s nothing else, I’d like to go back and contemplate further,” Xiao Ze said.

The next day.
Lin Fan told the students another story and, after enhancing their qualifications, quickly left the Tianfu Academy.
Last night, Lin Fan had tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking about the events of the entire night.
What if the “Small Heavenly Pill” was real? What if some fool actually traded the “Small Heavenly Pill” for Xuanhuang Coins?
The world is vast, full of wonders, and all sorts of people exist. How could one use their own thoughts to measure others’ thoughts?
That would be absolutely wrong.
If the “Small Heavenly Pill” was real and I happened to get it, swallowed it, immediately rose to the Small Heavenly Realm, and then returned to the sect in glory, wouldn’t I be treated like a treasure?
To do or not to do, it all depends on a single thought.
Regardless of what others do, Lin Fan decided to do it.
There were only two days left before the auction started. The early bird catches the worm, and the latecomer suffers.
If I wait until someone else wins the bid, it would be too late to snatch it.
Such a valuable item would surely attract groups of people bidding together. Although my brick is powerful, it can’t take down a whole group at once.
So, I must get it beforehand.
Lin Fan arrived at the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce, blending in as a casual browsing customer.
The chamber was crowded, with various items on display for people to choose from.
This auction of the “Small Heavenly Pill” had attracted many sects, and during the free time, their disciples naturally looked around, hoping to find something they liked.
Lin Fan’s eyes darted around, searching for anything suspicious. If the “Small Heavenly Pill” was real, it would be a priceless treasure, surely kept in some secret location.

Lin Fan found a spot, then entered a state of invisibility, randomly searching through the chamber.

Just then, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up because he saw a middle-aged man with a very high status, surrounded by a group of people, heading inside.
Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy. This guy must be a high-ranking official. Without thinking too much, he immediately followed, hoping that through this guy, he might find the “Small Heavenly Pill.”
Lin Fan hid in a corner of a secret room, not daring to breathe, because a figure that chilled his heart appeared before him.
The Yan Emperor.
Just as Lin Fan was about to strike the high-ranking official with his brick, the space suddenly fluctuated, scaring Lin Fan so much that he squatted in the corner, not daring to make a sound.
At the same time, Lin Fan was glad he hadn’t acted, or it would have been a real tragedy.
As the two conversed, Lin Fan’s heart grew uneasy. He hadn’t expected to stumble upon a series of dark secrets.
The “Small Heavenly Pill” actually belonged to the Yan Emperor.

“This is a pill that has never appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm.”
“After consumption, experience +2,000,000.”

Who else but someone filled with justice and love would do this?
If I don’t enter hell, who will?
The Xiao Family.
“Young master, you’re back. The family head is waiting for you in the main hall,” the butler at the gate greeted immediately upon seeing the young master return.
Despite the recent unfavorable rumors, the butler, having served the Xiao family for decades, still believed in the young master, dismissing the gossip as mere nonsense.
Xiao Ze had been walking with his head down, seemingly deep in thought. Upon hearing the butler’s voice, he nodded and made his way to the main hall.

Lin Fan found a spot, then activated his invisibility and began searching aimlessly through the Heaven and Earth Commerce.
He searched for a long, long time, almost giving up.
Where the hell is it?
Just then, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up. He saw a middle-aged man with an imposing aura, surrounded by a group of people, heading inside.
Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy. This guy must be a high-ranking official. Without further thought, he immediately followed, thinking that perhaps this guy could lead him to the “Little Heavenly Pill.”
Lin Fan hid in a corner of a secret room, not daring to breathe, because the person who appeared before him sent chills down his spine.
Emperor Yan.

Who made him a person filled with justice and love?
If I don’t go to hell, who will?
The first lecture had initially disappointed Xiao Ze greatly. He thought the verbal teachings were nothing more than empty rhetoric. It seemed impulsive of him to become a disciple of Teacher Lin’s, which might certainly affect his future martial cultivation.
The Xiao Residence.
“Young master, you’re back. The family head is waiting for you in the main hall,” the butler at the gate greeted immediately upon seeing the young master’s return.
Despite the recent wave of unfavorable rumors, the butler, who had served the Xiao family for decades, still firmly believed in the young master, dismissing the gossip as mere nonsense.
Xiao Ze had been walking with his head down, seemingly deep in thought. Upon hearing the butler’s voice, he nodded and proceeded towards the main hall.
The first lecture had initially left Xiao Ze quite disappointed. The verbal teachings seemed nothing more than a means to bewitch the mind. Enrolling in the Ding Class seemed somewhat reckless and was bound to have an impact on his future martial arts journey.
However, being at the sixth stage of the innate realm, there was hardly anyone in the Tianfu Academy who could guide him further. His path would have to be forged by himself.
As for joining a sect, Xiao Ze had indeed considered it, but he was still pondering which sect to join.
Yet, the morning lecture by the teacher he had initially looked down upon had sparked numerous thoughts in Xiao Ze’s mind.
It was as if a light had suddenly been switched on, bringing a moment of clarity to his previous learnings.
Xiao Ze’s natural talent and comprehension were already high, and the short story told by Lin Fan that morning had further enhanced his understanding.
With this heightened comprehension, he naturally began to question his previous learnings, identifying areas of deficiency and gaining new insights.
However, since Xiao Ze had only listened to Lin Fan’s lecture for a short while, this newfound understanding would naturally require a gradual process to fully develop.
In the main hall, Xiao Zhanfeng, the head of the Xiao family, sat with an expressionless face, tinged with anger.
The tea on the side table had long since cooled.
He had just heard the rumor that his son had taken a teacher from the Ding Class as his mentor, which infuriated him. The young master of the prestigious Xiao family, a genius of the Tianfu Academy, had now stooped so low as to take a Ding Class teacher as his mentor. Was he trying to completely tarnish the family’s reputation?
“Father, you wanted to see me?” Xiao Ze entered the main hall, seeing his father’s expression and realizing that his decision to take the teacher had already been discovered.
Yesterday’s events had already angered his father, and Xiao Ze knew that without a proper explanation today, the situation would not be easily resolved.
“This morning, your teacher came by and said you’ve joined the Ding Class. Is this true?” Xiao Zhanfeng asked calmly, like a sleeping lion ready to pounce at any moment.
“Yes,” Xiao Ze nodded.
At this moment, the previously calm Xiao Zhanfeng suddenly slammed the tea table, spilling the tea all over the floor. “Have you lost your mind? Instead of staying in the Jia Class, you go to the Ding Class. Do you know how many people are laughing at our Xiao family now? You’ve completely tarnished the family’s reputation. Do you understand?”
“Tell me, why did you take him as your mentor?” Xiao Zhanfeng demanded sharply. If he didn’t get a satisfactory answer today, he decided to visit the academy and confront this Ding Class teacher to see what method he had used to make his son abandon the Jia Class for his Ding Class.
Xiao Ze remained silent for a while. Why had he taken the teacher? He had thought about it, but every time he did, he remembered the feeling of the disciplinary ruler striking his buttocks.
Perhaps it was to experience that feeling again that he had taken the teacher.
But Xiao Ze naturally couldn’t say that. “Father, the teacher from the Ding Class is a master. Currently, the teachers in the Jia Class can no longer offer me any help, but this Ding Class teacher defeated me in a single move. I believe I can learn more by staying by his side.”
Xiao Ze’s words were somewhat against his conscience.
Xiao Zhanfeng looked at Xiao Ze, seeing that he didn’t seem to be joking, and gradually calmed down. He knew Xiao Ze’s strength—sixth stage of the innate realm, practicing the ancestral martial arts of the Xiao family. In terms of strength, he could even contend with someone at the seventh stage.
“Really?” Xiao Zhanfeng asked.
“Yes, Father. This morning, the master gave me a lecture, and now my mind is filled with many questions. I seem to have gained new insights into the martial arts I’ve been practicing. If there’s nothing else, I’d like to go back and contemplate further,” Xiao Ze said.
Seeing that Xiao Ze seemed sincere, Xiao Zhanfeng eventually waved his hand, letting him leave. He then sank into deep thought. Could it really be true?
The next day.
Lin Fan told the students another story and, after enhancing their talents, quickly left the Tianfu Academy.
Last night, Lin Fan had tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking about the events of the entire night.
What if the “Small Heavenly Realm Pill” was real? What if some fool really exchanged it for Xuanhuang coins?
The world is vast, full of wonders, and people are diverse. How could one measure others’ thoughts with their own?
That would be absolutely wrong.
If the “Small Heavenly Realm Pill” was real and he managed to get it, swallowed it, immediately ascended to the Small Heavenly Realm, and returned to the sect in glory, wouldn’t he be treated like a treasure?
To do or not to do, it all hinged on a single thought.
Regardless of what others did, Lin Fan decided to act.
There were only two days left before the auction. The early bird catches the worm; the latecomer suffers.
If he waited until someone else won the bid, it would be too late to snatch it.
Such a valuable item would surely attract groups of bidders. His brick, though powerful, couldn’t take on a whole group.
So, he had to get it beforehand.
Lin Fan arrived at the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce, blending in as a casual customer.
The chamber was bustling with people, various items on display for selection.
The auction of the “Small Heavenly Realm Pill” had attracted many sects, and during their free time, their disciples naturally browsed around, hoping to find something they liked.
Lin Fan’s eyes darted around, searching for anything suspicious. If the “Small Heavenly Realm Pill” was real, it would be a priceless treasure, surely kept in some secret location.
But where exactly?
Lin Fan found a spot, activated his invisibility, and began searching the chamber haphazardly.
After searching for a long time, Lin Fan was almost ready to give up.
Where the hell was it?
Just then, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up. He saw a middle-aged man of high stature, surrounded by a group of people, heading inside.
Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy. This guy must be a high-ranking official. Without hesitation, he followed, hoping to find the “Small Heavenly Realm Pill” through him.
Lin Fan hid in a corner of a secret room, not daring to breathe, for before him appeared a figure that sent chills down his spine—the Yan Emperor.
Just as Lin Fan was about to strike the high-ranking official with his brick, the space suddenly rippled, startling Lin Fan into crouching in the corner, not daring to make a sound.
He was also relieved he hadn’t acted, or it would have been a real tragedy.
As the two conversed, Lin Fan’s heart grew uneasy. He hadn’t expected to stumble upon a series of dark secrets.
The “Small Heavenly Realm Pill” actually belonged to the Yan Emperor.
After the Yan Emperor finished his business and left, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. The high-ranking official then placed the “Small Heavenly Realm Pill” in a secret location, which, of course, was no secret to Lin Fan, as he had watched the entire process.
Once the high-ranking official left, satisfied, Lin Fan immediately opened the secret spot. A beautiful brocade box appeared before him, and without hesitation, he took out the pill inside.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Heaven-grade top-tier pill ‘Blood Rage Pill.'”
“Blood Rage Pill: Temporarily enhances the user’s cultivation, but causes the user to explode and die after the effect wears off.”
“This is a pill that has never appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm.”
“After consumption, experience +2,000,000.”
Indeed, there was no such thing as the “Small Heavenly Realm Pill.” It was all a scam.
What puzzled Lin Fan was, what was the Yan Emperor trying to achieve with this? What was his goal?
All of this left Lin Fan baffled.
A conspiracy, definitely a major conspiracy.
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. As a man filled with justice and love, having witnessed this dark secret, how could he simply walk away?
A voice echoed in Lin Fan’s heart.
“Save the people.”
This was a sacred yet arduous task, but Lin Fan was not afraid. Even if misunderstood by the world, he would stop this transaction and prevent people from falling into the Yan Emperor’s trap.
Lin Fan gathered his courage, swallowed the pill, then took off his pants, defecated in the brocade box, wiped his butt, pulled up his pants, closed the box, and placed it back in its original spot.
What lay ahead was Lin Fan’s path to saving all beings. Though this path was tough and fraught with difficulties, and he might not gain the understanding of others, Lin Fan was not afraid.
For he was a man filled with justice and love.
If I don’t enter hell, who will?
As for joining a sect, Xiao Ze had indeed considered it, but was still contemplating which sect to choose.
Yet this teacher, whom he had initially looked down upon, had delivered a few hours of lectures that morning, sparking many thoughts in Xiao Ze.
It was as if his mind had suddenly opened, allowing him a moment of clarity regarding his previous studies.
Xiao Ze’s innate talent and comprehension were already very high, and the short story Lin Fan had shared that morning further enhanced Xiao Ze’s understanding significantly.
With his comprehension improved, he naturally began questioning his prior learning, and could now confidently grasp the areas where he had previously fallen short.
However, since Xiao Ze had only listened to Lin Fan’s lectures briefly, his enhanced comprehension would require a gradual process to fully develop.
Main Hall.
Xiao Zhanfeng, the head of the Xiao family, sat expressionless, even visibly angry.
The tea on the coffee table beside him had long gone cold.
He had just heard the rumors—that his own son had actually become a disciple of a D-class teacher. This enraged Xiao Zhanfeng. How could the young master of the Xiao family, a genius at Tianfu Academy, stoop so low as to become a disciple of a D-class teacher? Was he determined to disgrace the Xiao family name?
“Father, you summoned me?” Xiao Ze entered the main hall and, seeing his father’s expression, realized that his decision to take a teacher had already been discovered.
Yesterday’s incident had already angered his father greatly. Xiao Ze knew that without a proper explanation today, things wouldn’t be easily resolved.
“This morning, your teacher came by and said you’ve joined the D-class. Is that true?” Xiao Zhanfeng asked in a calm tone, like a sleeping lion ready to erupt at any moment.
“Yes,” Xiao Ze nodded.
At that moment, Xiao Zhanfeng, who had remained calm, suddenly slammed the coffee table in fury, spilling tea everywhere. “Have you lost your mind? You left the A-class to join the D-class. Do you know how many people are laughing at our Xiao family now? You’ve disgraced our family name. Do you understand that?”
“Tell me, why did you become his disciple?” Xiao Zhanfeng barked. If he didn’t get a satisfactory answer today, he was determined to go to the academy and confront this D-class teacher, to find out what methods he had used to make his son abandon the prestigious A-class for his D-class.
Xiao Ze was silent for a moment. Why did he become a disciple? He had thought about this question before, but every time he recalled it, all he could think of was the sensation of the beloved ruler striking his behind.
Perhaps he had become a disciple just to experience that feeling again.
But Xiao Ze naturally couldn’t say that. “Father, this D-class teacher is a true master. At Tianfu Academy, the A-class teachers can no longer help me. However, this D-class teacher defeated me with just one move. I want to stay by his side because I believe I can learn much more from him.”
What Xiao Ze said was actually against his conscience.
The Xiao Family.
“Young master, you’re back. The family head is waiting for you in the main hall,” the butler at the door greeted immediately upon seeing the young master’s return.
Despite the recent rumors, the butler, having served the Xiao family for decades, still believed in the young master, dismissing the gossip as mere nonsense.
Xiao Ze had been walking with his head down, seemingly deep in thought. Upon hearing the butler’s voice, he nodded and made his way to the main hall.
The first lecture had initially left Xiao Ze quite disappointed. The verbal teachings seemed nothing more than a way to bewitch people. Enrolling in the Ding Class seemed somewhat reckless and would undoubtedly affect his future martial arts path.
However, being at the sixth level of the innate stage, there was hardly anyone in the Tianfu Academy who could teach him. His path would have to be forged by himself.
As for joining a sect, Xiao Ze had indeed considered it, but he was still pondering which one to choose.
The morning lecture by the teacher he had initially looked down upon had sparked many thoughts in Xiao Ze’s mind.
It was as if his mind had suddenly opened up, bringing a new understanding to what he had previously learned.
Xiao Ze’s natural talent and comprehension were already high, and the short story told by Lin Fan in the morning had further enhanced his comprehension.
With this improved comprehension, he naturally began to question his previous learnings, identifying areas of deficiency and gaining new insights.
However, since Xiao Ze had only listened to Lin Fan’s lecture for a short time, this newfound comprehension would naturally require a gradual process to fully develop.
Main Hall.
Xiao Zhanfeng, the family head of the Xiao family, sat expressionless, even somewhat angrily.
The tea on the side table had long since cooled.
He had just heard the rumor that his son had taken a teacher from the Ding Class as his master, which infuriated him. The young master of the Xiao family, a genius of the Tianfu Academy, had now willingly degraded himself by taking a Ding Class teacher as his master. Was he trying to completely ruin the Xiao family’s reputation?
“Father, you wanted to see me?” Xiao Ze entered the main hall and, seeing his father’s expression, knew that his decision to take a master had already been discovered.
Yesterday’s events had already angered his father, and Xiao Ze knew that without a proper explanation today, things would not be easily resolved.
“This morning, your teacher came by and said you joined the Ding Class. Is this true?” Xiao Zhanfeng asked calmly, like a sleeping lion ready to pounce at any moment.
“Yes,” Xiao Ze nodded.
At that moment, the previously calm Xiao Zhanfeng suddenly slammed the tea table, spilling the tea all over the floor. “Have you lost your mind? Instead of staying in the Jia Class, you joined the Ding Class. Do you know how many people are laughing at our family now? You’ve completely ruined the Xiao family’s reputation. Do you understand?”
“Tell me, why did you take him as your master?” Xiao Zhanfeng demanded sharply. If he didn’t get a satisfactory answer today, he decided to visit the academy and confront this Ding Class teacher to see what method he used to make his son abandon the Jia Class and join his Ding Class.
Xiao Ze remained silent for a while. Why did he take him as his master? He had thought about this question before, but every time it came to mind, he remembered the feeling of the disciplinary ruler striking his buttocks.
Perhaps it was to experience that feeling again that he took him as his master.
But Xiao Ze naturally couldn’t say that. “Father, the teacher from the Ding Class is a master. Currently, the teachers in the Jia Class can no longer help me, but this Ding Class teacher defeated me in a single move. I believe I can learn more by staying by his side.”
Xiao Ze’s words were somewhat against his conscience.
Xiao Zhanfeng looked at Xiao Ze and, seeing that he wasn’t joking, gradually calmed down. He knew Xiao Ze’s strength—sixth level of the innate stage, practicing the Xiao family’s ancestral techniques. In terms of strength, he could even contend with someone at the seventh level of the innate stage.
“Really?” Xiao Zhanfeng asked.
“Yes, father. This morning, the master gave me a lecture, and now my mind is filled with many questions. I seem to have gained new insights into the techniques I’ve been practicing. If there’s nothing else, I’d like to go back and contemplate further,” Xiao Ze said.
Seeing that Xiao Ze seemed sincere, Xiao Zhanfeng eventually waved his hand, letting him leave. He then sank into deep thought. Could it really be true?
The next day.
Lin Fan told the students another story and, after improving their qualifications, quickly left the Tianfu Academy.
Last night, Lin Fan had tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking about the events of the entire night.
What if the “Little Heavenly Pill” was real? What if some fool really exchanged it for Xuanhuang coins?
The world is vast, full of wonders, and people are diverse. How could one measure others’ thoughts with their own?
This was absolutely wrong.
If the “Little Heavenly Pill” was real and I happened to obtain it, swallowed it in one gulp, immediately ascended to the Little Heavenly Stage, and returned to the sect in glory, wouldn’t I be treated like a treasure?
To do or not to do, it all depends on a single thought.
Regardless of what others do, Lin Fan decided to do it.
There were only two days left before the auction. The early bird catches the worm, and the latecomer suffers.
If I wait until someone else wins the bid, it will be too late to snatch it.
Such a valuable item would surely attract groups of bidders. Although my brick is powerful, it can’t take down a whole group at once.
So, I must get it beforehand.
Lin Fan arrived at the Heaven and Earth Commerce, blending in as a casual customer.
The Heaven and Earth Commerce was bustling with people, various items on display for selection.
The auction of the “Little Heavenly Pill” had attracted many sects, and during their free time, the disciples naturally browsed around, hoping to find something they liked.
Lin Fan’s eyes darted around, searching for anything suspicious. If the “Little Heavenly Pill” was real, it would be priceless, surely kept in some secret location.
But where exactly was it?
Lin Fan found a spot, then entered a state of invisibility, aimlessly searching around the Heaven and Earth Commerce.
After searching for a long, long time, Lin Fan was almost ready to give up.
Where the hell is it?
Just then, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up because he saw a middle-aged man with a very high aura, surrounded by a group of people, heading inside.
Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy. This guy must be a high-ranking official. Without further thought, he immediately followed, hoping that through this guy, he might find the “Little Heavenly Pill.”
Lin Fan hid in a corner of a secret room, not daring to breathe, because a figure that chilled his heart appeared before him.
Emperor Yan.
Just as Lin Fan was about to strike the high-ranking official with his brick, the space suddenly rippled, scaring Lin Fan so much that he squatted in the corner, not daring to make a sound.
At the same time, Lin Fan was grateful that he hadn’t acted, or it would have been a real tragedy.
As the two conversed, Lin Fan’s heart grew uneasy. He hadn’t expected to stumble upon a series of dark secrets.
The “Little Heavenly Pill” actually belonged to Emperor Yan.
After Emperor Yan finished his instructions and left, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. The high-ranking official then placed the “Little Heavenly Pill” in a secret location, which, of course, was no secret to Lin Fan, as he had watched everything from start to finish.
Once the high-ranking official left satisfied, Lin Fan immediately opened the secret spot. A beautiful brocade box appeared before him, and without hesitation, Lin Fan took out the pill inside.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Heaven-grade top-quality pill ‘Blood Rage Pill.'”
“Blood Rage Pill: Temporarily increases the user’s cultivation level, but the user will explode and die after the effect wears off.”
“This is a pill that has never appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm.”
“After consumption, experience +2,000,000.”
Sure enough, there was no such thing as the “Little Heavenly Pill.” It was all a scam.
What Lin Fan couldn’t understand was, what was Emperor Yan trying to achieve with this? What was his goal?
All of this left Lin Fan puzzled.
There was definitely a huge conspiracy.
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt the weight of his responsibility. As a person filled with justice and love, having witnessed this dark secret, how could he just leave?
A voice echoed in Lin Fan’s heart.
“Save everyone.”
This was a sacred and arduous task, but Lin Fan was not afraid. Even if misunderstood by the world, Lin Fan would stop this transaction and prevent everyone from falling into Emperor Yan’s trap.
Lin Fan gathered his courage, swallowed the pill in one gulp, then took off his pants and defecated in the brocade box. After wiping his butt, he put his pants back on, closed the box, and placed it back in its original spot.
What followed would be Lin Fan’s path to saving all beings. Although this path was arduous and difficult, and he might not gain the understanding of others, Lin Fan was not afraid.
Who else but me, a person filled with justice and love, would enter hell?
If I don’t enter hell, who will?
“Really?” Xiao Zhanfeng asked.
“Yes, Father. This morning, the master gave me a lesson. Now my mind is filled with many questions, and I’ve developed new insights into my previous cultivation techniques. If there’s nothing else, Father, I’d like to return and contemplate these matters deeply,” Xiao Ze replied.
Seeing that Xiao Ze seemed genuine, Xiao Zhanfeng finally waved him off and fell into deep thought. Could it really be true?
The next day.
Lin Fan delivered another lecture to his students, briefly enhancing their aptitudes before quickly leaving Tianfu Academy.
The previous night, Lin Fan had tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking about his decision the entire night.
What if the “Little Heaven Pill” was real? What if someone really wanted to trade it for Xuan Huang Coins?
The world was vast and full of strange people. How could he judge others by his own standards?
That would definitely be a mistake.
If the “Little Heaven Pill” was real and somehow ended up in his hands, he could swallow it and instantly ascend to the Little Heaven Realm, returning to his sect in glory and being treated like a treasure.
Whether or not to do it was entirely a matter of choice.
Regardless of what others did, Lin Fan had decided—he would do it.
The auction was still two days away. It was better to act early than to regret later.
If he waited until someone else won the auction, it would be too late to try to take it.
Such a valuable item would surely attract many competitors, and they wouldn’t come alone. They would definitely work together in groups. Although his brick was powerful, he couldn’t fight off an entire crowd with a single strike.
Therefore, he had to get his hands on it in advance.
Lin Fan arrived at the Heaven and Earth Association, blending in as an ordinary customer.
At that moment, the Heaven and Earth Association was bustling with people, various items displayed for selection.
This auction of the “Little Heaven Pill” had attracted many sects, and during this free time, their disciples naturally wandered around, hoping to find something they liked.
Lin Fan’s sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for anything suspicious. If the “Little Heaven Pill” was real, it would definitely be a priceless treasure, hidden somewhere secret.
But where exactly?
He searched for a while, then entered stealth mode, beginning to randomly search throughout the Heaven and Earth Association.
After a long, long search, Lin Fan was about to give up.
Where the hell was it?
Just then, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up. He saw a middle-aged man with an extremely high aura, surrounded by a group of people, walking inward.
Lin Fan’s heart leapt with joy. This guy must be a high-level figure. Without hesitation, he immediately followed closely behind, hoping that following this person might lead him to the “Little Heaven Pill.”
At that moment, Lin Fan was hiding in a corner of a secret room, too scared to even breathe loudly, because a figure appeared before him that chilled his heart.
Yan Huang.
Lin Fan had been about to strike the high-level figure with his brick when the space suddenly fluctuated, scaring Lin Fan so much that he crouched silently in the corner, not daring to make a sound.
At the same time, he was grateful he hadn’t acted rashly, or he would have faced a real disaster.
As the two conversed, Lin Fan’s heart grew uneasy. He never expected to stumble upon a series of conspiracies.
The “Little Heaven Pill” actually belonged to Yan Huang.
After Yan Huang finished giving instructions and left, Lin Fan finally exhaled in relief. The high-level figure then placed the “Little Heaven Pill” in a secret location. Of course, this wasn’t a secret to Lin Fan at all, since he had witnessed the entire process without missing a single detail.
After the high-level figure left satisfied, Lin Fan immediately opened the secret location. A beautiful brocade box appeared before him. Without hesitation, Lin Fan took the pill from inside.
The Xiao Family.
“Young master, you’re back. The family head is waiting for you in the front hall,” the butler at the door greeted immediately upon seeing the young master return.
Despite the recent bad rumors, the butler, who had served the Xiao family for decades, still trusted the young master, dismissing the gossip as mere nonsense.
Xiao Ze had been walking with his head down, seemingly deep in thought. Upon hearing the butler’s voice, he nodded and headed towards the front hall.
The first lecture had initially left Xiao Ze very disappointed. Such verbal talk was nothing but a means to deceive people. His decision to join the Ding class seemed somewhat reckless and would undoubtedly affect his future in martial arts.
However, now that he had reached the sixth level of the innate stage, there was hardly anyone in the Tianfu Academy who could teach him. He had to rely on himself for everything.
As for joining a sect, Xiao Ze had indeed thought about it, but he was still pondering which sect to join.
Yet, the few hours of lecture this morning from the teacher he had initially looked down upon had sparked many thoughts in Xiao Ze’s mind.
It was as if his mind had suddenly opened up, bringing a moment of clarity to what he had learned before.
Xiao Ze’s natural talent and comprehension were already high, and the short story told by Lin Fan this morning had further enhanced his comprehension.
With this enhanced comprehension, he naturally began to question what he had learned before, identifying areas of deficiency and gaining new insights.
However, since Xiao Ze had only listened to Lin Fan’s lecture for a short time, this enhancement in comprehension would naturally require a gradual process.
Front Hall.
The head of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhanfeng, sat expressionless, even somewhat angrily.
The tea on the side table had long since cooled.
He had just heard the rumor that his son had actually taken a teacher from the Ding class as his master. This infuriated Xiao Zhanfeng. The young master of the Xiao family, a genius of the Tianfu Academy, had now willingly degraded himself by taking a Ding class teacher as his master. Was he trying to completely ruin the face of the Xiao family?
“Father, you wanted to see me?” Xiao Ze arrived at the front hall and, seeing his father’s expression, knew that his decision to take a master had been discovered.
Yesterday’s events had already angered his father, and Xiao Ze knew that if he didn’t provide a satisfactory explanation today, it wouldn’t be easily resolved.

Do you understand?”

Xiao Ze remained silent for a while. Why did he take him as his master? Xiao Ze had thought about this question before, but every time it came to mind, he remembered the feeling of the disciplinary ruler hitting his buttocks.
Perhaps it was to experience that feeling again that he took him as his master.
But Xiao Ze naturally couldn’t say this. “Father, the teacher from the Ding class is a master. Currently, the teachers in the Jia class at the Tianfu Academy can no longer provide me with any help, but that teacher from the Ding class defeated me in one move. I want to stay by his side; I can learn more from him.”
What Xiao Ze said was actually against his conscience.
Xiao Zhanfeng looked at Xiao Ze and, seeing that he didn’t seem to be joking, gradually calmed down. He knew Xiao Ze’s strength—the sixth level of the innate stage, practicing the ancestral techniques of the Xiao family. In terms of strength, he could even compete with someone at the seventh level of the innate stage.
“Really?” Xiao Zhanfeng asked.
“Yes, father. This morning, the master gave me a lecture, and now my mind is filled with many questions. I seem to have gained special insights into the techniques I’ve practiced before. If there’s nothing else, I’d like to go back and contemplate further,” Xiao Ze said.
Seeing that Xiao Ze seemed to be telling the truth, Xiao Zhanfeng finally waved his hand, letting him leave. Then, he fell into deep thought. Could it really be true?
The next day.
Lin Fan told the students another short story and, after enhancing their qualifications, quickly left the Tianfu Academy.
Last night, Lin Fan had tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking about the events of the entire night.
What if the “Small Heavenly Pill” was real? What if there really was someone crazy enough to exchange the “Small Heavenly Pill” for Xuanhuang coins?
The world is vast, full of wonders, and all kinds of people exist. How could one measure others’ thoughts with their own?
This was absolutely wrong.
If the “Small Heavenly Pill” was real and I happened to get it, swallowed it, immediately rose to the Small Heavenly Stage, and then returned to the sect in glory, wouldn’t I be treated like a treasure?
To do or not to do, it all depends on a single thought.
Regardless of what others do, Lin Fan decided to do it.
There were only two days left before the auction started. Strike first, or suffer later.
If I wait until someone else wins the bid, it will be too late to try to snatch it.
Such a valuable item, the people bidding for it couldn’t possibly be alone; they must be acting in groups. Although my brick is powerful, it can’t take down a group at once.
So, I must get it in advance.
Lin Fan arrived at the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce, blending in as a casual customer.
At this time, the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce was crowded, with various items displayed for people to choose from.
This auction of the “Small Heavenly Pill” had attracted many sects, and during this idle time, the disciples of these sects naturally looked around, perhaps finding something they liked.
At this moment, Lin Fan’s eyes darted around, searching for anything suspicious. If the “Small Heavenly Pill” was real, it would be a priceless treasure, surely kept in some secret place.
But where exactly was it?
Lin Fan found a spot, then entered a state of invisibility, beginning to search aimlessly throughout the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce.
After searching for a long, long time, Lin Fan was almost ready to give up.
Where the hell is it?
Just then, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up because he saw a middle-aged man with a very high status, surrounded by a group of people, heading inside.
Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy. This guy must be a high-ranking official. Without further thought, he immediately followed, hoping that through this guy, he might find the “Small Heavenly Pill.”
At this moment, Lin Fan hid in a corner of a secret room, not daring to breathe, because a figure that chilled Lin Fan’s heart appeared before him.
The Emperor of Yan.
Just as Lin Fan was about to hit the high-ranking official with his brick, the space suddenly rippled, scaring Lin Fan so much that he squatted in the corner, not daring to make a sound.
At the same time, Lin Fan was grateful that he hadn’t acted just now, or it would have been a real tragedy.
As the two continued their conversation, Lin Fan’s heart grew uneasy. He hadn’t expected to stumble upon a series of dark secrets.
The “Small Heavenly Pill” actually belonged to the Emperor of Yan.
After the Emperor of Yan finished his instructions and left, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. The high-ranking official then placed the “Small Heavenly Pill” in a secret location, which, of course, was no secret to Lin Fan, as he had watched everything from start to finish without missing a single detail.
After the high-ranking official left satisfied, Lin Fan immediately opened the secret location, revealing a beautiful brocade box. Without hesitation, Lin Fan took out the pill inside.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Heaven-grade top-quality pill ‘Blood Rage Pill.'”
“Blood Rage Pill: Can temporarily enhance the user’s cultivation, but will cause the user to explode and die after the effect wears off.”
“This is a pill that has never appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm.”
“After consumption, experience +2,000,000.”
Indeed, there couldn’t possibly be a Small Heavenly Pill. It was all a scam.
But what Lin Fan couldn’t understand was, why was the Emperor of Yan doing this? What was his purpose?
All of this left Lin Fan puzzled.
There was definitely a big conspiracy.
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt the weight of his responsibilities. As a person filled with justice and love, having witnessed this dark secret, how could he just leave?
A voice echoed in Lin Fan’s heart.
“Save the people.”
This was a sacred and arduous task, but Lin Fan was not afraid. Even if misunderstood by the world, Lin Fan would stop this transaction and prevent everyone from falling into the Emperor of Yan’s trap.
Lin Fan gathered his courage, swallowed the pill in one gulp, then took off his pants and defecated in the brocade box. After wiping his buttocks, he put his pants back on, closed the box, and placed it back in its original location.
What followed would be Lin Fan’s path to saving all beings. Although this path was arduous and difficult, and he might not receive the understanding of others, Lin Fan was not afraid.
Who made him a person filled with justice and love?
If I don’t enter hell, who will?
The Xiao Family.
“Young master, you’re back. The family head is waiting for you in the main hall,” the butler at the door greeted immediately upon seeing the young master return.
Despite the recent unfavorable rumors, the butler, who had served the Xiao family for decades, still trusted the young master, dismissing the gossip as mere nonsense.

To do or not to do, it all depends on a single thought.
Regardless of what others do, Lin Fan decided to do it.
There were only two days left before the auction. Strike first, or suffer the consequences.
If I wait until someone else wins the bid and then try to snatch it, it would be too late.
Such a valuable item would surely attract groups of bidders. Although my brick is powerful, it can’t take down a whole group.
So, I must get it beforehand.
Lin Fan arrived at the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce, blending in as a casual customer.
The chamber was bustling with people, various items on display for selection.
This auction of the “Little Heavenly Pill” had attracted many sects, and during this idle time, their disciples naturally wandered around, perhaps finding something they liked.
Lin Fan’s eyes darted around, searching for anything suspicious. If the “Little Heavenly Pill” was real, it would be a priceless treasure, surely kept in some secret location.
But where exactly?
Lin Fan found a spot, then entered a state of invisibility, beginning his search throughout the chamber.
He searched for a long, long time, almost giving up.
Where the hell is it?
Just then, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up. He saw a middle-aged man of high stature, surrounded by a group of people, heading inside.
Lin Fan’s heart leapt with joy. This guy must be a high-ranking official. Without hesitation, he followed, hoping to find the “Little Heavenly Pill” through him.
Lin Fan hid in a corner of a secret room, not daring to breathe, because a figure that chilled him to the bone appeared before him.
Emperor Yan.
Just as Lin Fan was about to strike the high-ranking official with his brick, the space suddenly rippled, scaring Lin Fan into crouching in the corner, not daring to make a sound.
At the same time, Lin Fan was glad he hadn’t acted, or it would have been a real tragedy.
As the two conversed, Lin Fan’s heart grew uneasy. He hadn’t expected to stumble upon a series of dark secrets.
The “Little Heavenly Pill” actually belonged to Emperor Yan.
After Emperor Yan finished his instructions and left, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. The high-ranking official then placed the “Little Heavenly Pill” in a secret location, which, of course, was no secret to Lin Fan, as he had watched the entire process without missing a single detail.
Once the high-ranking official left satisfied, Lin Fan immediately opened the secret spot. A beautiful brocade box appeared before him, and without hesitation, he took out the pill inside.
“Ding, congratulations on discovering the Heaven-grade top-tier pill ‘Blood Rage Pill.'”
“Blood Rage Pill: Temporarily increases the user’s cultivation level, but the user will explode and die after the effect wears off.”
“This is a pill that has never appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm.”
“After consumption, experience +2,000,000.”
As expected, there was no such thing as the “Little Heavenly Pill.” It was all a scam.
But what puzzled Lin Fan was, why was Emperor Yan doing this? What was his goal?
All of this left Lin Fan baffled.
A conspiracy, definitely a huge conspiracy.
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. As a man filled with justice and love, having witnessed this dark secret, how could he just walk away?
A voice echoed in Lin Fan’s heart.
“Save the people.”
This was a sacred and arduous task, but Lin Fan was not afraid. Even if misunderstood by the world, he would stop this transaction and prevent everyone from falling into Emperor Yan’s trap.
Lin Fan gathered his courage, swallowed the pill, then took off his pants and defecated into the brocade box. After wiping his butt, he put his pants back on, closed the box, and placed it back in its original spot.
What followed would be Lin Fan’s path to saving the world. Although this path was tough and fraught with difficulties, and he might not gain the understanding of others, Lin Fan was not afraid.
After all, he was a man filled with justice and love.
If I don’t go to hell, who will?
“This is a pill that has never appeared in the Xuan Huang World.”
“Consuming it grants 2,000,000 experience points.”
Indeed, there was no such thing as the “Little Heaven Pill.” It was all a scam.
What puzzled Lin Fan was why Yan Huang had orchestrated this. What was his true purpose?
All of this left Lin Fan confused.
A conspiracy—definitely a huge one.
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. As a person filled with justice and love, having witnessed this conspiracy, how could he just walk away?
A voice echoed in Lin Fan’s mind.
“Save everyone.”
This was a sacred yet arduous mission, but Lin Fan wasn’t afraid. Even if the world misunderstood him, he would still stop this transaction and prevent everyone from falling into Yan Huang’s trap.
Lin Fan took a deep breath, swallowed the pill in one gulp, then took off his pants, took a dump inside the brocade box, wiped his butt, pulled up his pants, and carefully placed the box back where it had been.
Next would be Lin Fan’s journey to save all beings. Although this path would be arduous and difficult, and he might not receive the understanding of others, Lin Fan wasn’t afraid.
Who else but him—a man filled with justice and compassion—would take on such a burden?
“If I don’t go to hell, who will?”
