Lin Kongxian seemed to have figured out what Lin Fan was thinking and immediately darkened, scolding, "What nonsense are you thinking?"

"Uh... nothing!" Lin Fan quickly shook his head, afraid that the old man’s temper would flare up, and he’d challenge him to a few rounds!

Although Lin Fan was now at the Huajin stage, compared to the old man’s strength, there was still a big gap!

Besides, Su Yanyu was there too; Lin Fan didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of his woman, so he chose to concede!

At this moment, Lin Kongxian’s gaze finally turned to Su Yanyu, and the dark lines on his face noticeably diminished, revealing a kind expression!

Seeing Lin Kongxian looking at her, Su Yanyu quickly took two steps forward, bowed gently, and said, "Elder Lin!"

"Since you’re Lin Fan’s wife, that makes you my disciple-in-law too. You can address me just like Lin Fan does!" Lin Kongxian said in a calm tone, clearly pleased with Su Yanyu!

"Yes, Master!" Su Yanyu quickly responded, her beautiful eyes filled with sweetness and happiness!

She knew Lin Fan was an orphan who grew up by his master’s side. Now, having gained recognition from Lin Fan’s only relative, Su Yanyu couldn’t help but feel delighted!

Then, Su Yanyu added, "Last time when I was poisoned by the Gu poison, I must thank Master for saving me. My father insisted that I express my gratitude profusely upon seeing Master!"

"Oh, it’s nothing. I share some history with your family. This small favor is not worth mentioning!" Lin Kongxian casually waved it off, exuding an air of ease.

Despite his habits of drinking and smoking, he always wore a long white robe, with his long hair draping over his shoulders. When he behaves seriously, he truly has the manner of a master cultivator!

"Alright, enough reminiscing. It’s already noon; I’ll prepare a few dishes for you all to enjoy lunch here!" Chun said with a smile.

"Thank you, Chun!" Lin Fan quickly smiled at Chun.

Geez! This woman might become my future master’s wife, and seeing how afraid Lin Kongxian is of her, if I can win over this future master’s wife, the next time the old man dares to scold me, I’ll simply bring up this formidable figure and see how he acts then!

"This little guy sure has a sweet tongue. I’ll make you some braised pork!" Chun said with a pleased smile.

"Wow! Braised pork, I love braised pork. I must experience Chun’s cooking skills; I’m sure Chun’s braised pork is delicious!" Lin Fan said with a smile.

"What a little rascal!"

Chun laughed and then turned to walk towards the kitchen!

Her mature figure, still full of allure, swayed as she walked, her hips moving back and forth, filled with a deadly allure for men, no wonder even Lin Kongxian, the old man, was drawn to her!

"What are you looking at?" At this moment, Lin Kongxian’s robust voice rang out, clearly noticing Lin Fan’s wandering gaze.

Lin Fan finally retracted his gaze, winked playfully at Lin Kongxian, and said, "Old man, are you in love?"

"In love? Do you think someone my age still falls in love? That’s for you young rascals!" Lin Kongxian remarked with an air of aloofness, but his old face turned a little red, revealing his embarrassment!

"Pfft! You shameless old man, claiming you’re not in love while blushing; who are you trying to fool?" Lin Fan retorted, justified.

"Oh, seems like you’ve learned a thing or two in these past years outside. Come, let’s have a good spar today; let this old man see your progress!"

Lin Kongxian said, rolling up his sleeves, looking ready for a showdown!

"Damn! Old man, we just met, and you already want to fight!" Lin Fan complained irritably! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Nevertheless, the old rascal Lin Kongxian didn’t care, grabbed a nearby bench, and threw it at Lin Fan!

How could Lin Fan dare be careless? Despite Lin Kongxian’s casual toss, few could withstand it; it felt as heavy as a thousand-pound fall!

Lin Fan hurriedly released his Powerful Qi, flipped his wrist, turned it into a palm shape, and slapped the incoming bench!

Crash~

A crisp sound immediately rang out!

After colliding with Lin Fan’s palm, the bench shattered into pieces!

"You’ve advanced to the Huajin stage! Not bad, not bad, looks like this old man should treat you seriously!" Lin Kongxian chuckled slyly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately deflated. The old man had reached the peak of Huajin five years ago when Lin Fan left the mountain; he probably surpassed Huajin now, advancing to the legendary Pill Force. With Lin Fan’s skills, compared to the old man, it was like a small trick facing a master, just a drop in the ocean!

"Old man, if you make a move, don’t blame me for telling Chun!" Lin Fan quickly threatened, leveraging Chun as a deterrent.

"Hmph! Go ahead, tell her! Today, this old man is going to teach you a lesson!" Lin Kongxian shouted, striding towards Lin Fan.

On Lin Kongxian’s body, the surging Powerful Qi appeared yellowish, resembling wisps of flames!

Qi externalizing and starting to materialize! This scene can only be seen at the Pill Force level by a Qi Gong Master!

"Indeed, Pill Force, such formidable strength!"

Lin Fan couldn’t help but click his tongue, feeling as insignificant as a speck of dust in Lin Kongxian’s eyes!

Lin Fan didn’t dare hesitate, shouted, "Mom!" and dashed into the kitchen!

Seeing this situation, Lin Kongxian stopped, evidently fearing Chun in the kitchen!

Soon, Chun walked out of the kitchen with Lin Fan in tow. Seeing the shattered bench, Chun was immediately fuming, placing her hands on her hips and glaring at Lin Kongxian, scolding, "Old Lin, what’s the meaning of this? Trying to wreck my shop?"

"Uh... well, Chun, I was just... practicing with my disciple!"

Lin Kongxian’s arrogance vanished, as if a bucket of cold water had doused it, grinning apologetically at Chun, showing none of his earlier domineering attitude!

Truly a case of yin and yang finding balance, each one restraining the other!

"Hmph! If you want to train, go to your sect. My teahouse can’t handle your antics! If you dare mess around in my teahouse again, I’ll ban you from entering!"

Chun, unafraid of Lin Kongxian, put her hands on her hips and coldly snorted!
