An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 18 - He is Just a Twenty-year-old Child!

This?

Yang Chen was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect such a situation to arise.

To be honest, Yang Chen didn’t quite believe that Lin Yan would use his status as a stepson to extort wealth from someone. After all, Lin Yan was the Son of Destiny, with his own pride. The original work clearly described his character. Even if he were to directly kill and rob, he wouldn’t admit to being his stepson!

Heh heh.

But it didn’t matter.

Since the matter has come up, I, as the stepfather, should deal with it properly.

He should try to solidify the relationship between him and Lin Yan as stepfather and stepson.

“Yan’er, is what Li Junfeng said true?” Yang Chen asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan’s gaze once again locked onto Yang Chen. There was a surge of killing intent in his eyes. How much he wanted to rush up and slap Yang Chen to death!

However, his master refused to intervene in this matter. And he himself did not have the strength.

Damn it! The damn bastard!

Lin Yan gritted his teeth.

Then he turned his head and glared fiercely at Li Junfeng.

This bastard is really good at twisting the truth. Clearly, he took the initiative to bribe me, wanting me to help him become a core disciple. Now, he’s turning the tables. Bastard. This Xuantian Sect is really rotten to the core. I will destroy this damn sect sooner or later.

Lin Yan wanted to explain.

But when he saw Yang Chen standing with his mother, taking on the role of an elder and talking to him in an inquiring manner. He was immediately furious.

Apart from cursing Yang Chen’s entire family, he didn’t want to say a word to Yang Chen. Moreover, Lin Yan felt that Li Junfeng was likely sent by Yang Chen to deliberately provoke him! Just to create such a scene.

To make him answer questions obediently as a stepson!

Damn it, Yang Chen, don’t even think about it! I won’t be fooled by you!

“Master, if I want to leave by force, can you help me make it happen?” Lin Yan communicated with his master in his heart.

A gentle voice sounded: “Chen’er, of course I can do that! Although Xuantian Sect has several Soul Transformation realm cultivators, they won’t intervene in such a small matter! Besides, even if Soul Transformation realm cultivators intervene, they won’t be able to stop me if I’m determined to leave!”

“Good!”

A smirk appeared at the corner of Lin Yan’s mouth. Since he could leave at any time, he had nothing to worry about. If Yang Chen wanted to deal with him over this matter.

Heh heh, that’s just perfect.

At that time, when he revealed his master’s strength at the Soul Transformation realm, he would blind these people!

Lin Yan thought triumphantly, then turned around and took a pill to start recovering. He had expended quite a bit of energy in his anger just now.

Seeing Lin Yan remain silent and calmly take the pill, the people around him became even more angry.

This bastard, he completely ignores all of us.

Everyone said: “Holy Son, Lin Yan is too arrogant and disregards the rules of our Xuantian Sect!”

“Since Lin Yan is not speaking, it means he agrees!”

“Please, Holy Son punish Lin Yan!”

“Please, Holy Son punish Lin Yan!”

The elders and disciples were all excited.

They had long been disgusted with Lin Yan.

He was just a Fourth stage Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, but he acted like he was the best. He even flirted with Fairy Xueyan every day. He really doesn’t know his place. If it weren’t for the fact that he was the Holy Son’s stepson, he would have been dead long ago.

On the side, Lin Xilan listened to Li Junfeng’s narration and the indignation of the surrounding crowd, coupled with Lin Yan’s silent attitude, which was equivalent to acquiescence. She suddenly felt her face burning with shame.

Her son, he actually used his stepfather’s status to openly demand benefits from others! If the other party didn’t give it, he would kill them! How could he do this? How could she have raised such a son! It was really embarrassing!

She wanted to turn and leave. But Lin Yan was her son, whom she had raised for twenty years. How could she, as a mother, really ignore it?

She had long been familiar with the rules of the Xuantian Sect. During this period of time, as the wife of the Holy Son, thinking about being the virtuous helper of her husband in the future, she long studied it.

While fighting among the nine major peaks was a serious offense, the punishment could be light or severe, and the sentencing was quite flexible. However, extorting wealth from fellow disciples was a serious crime. It seriously tarnished the sect’s reputation. It needed to be dealt with seriously.

Light punishment could lead to ten years of imprisonment!

Heavy punishment could lead to the destruction of cultivation and expulsion from the sect!

Thinking of the consequences, Lin Xilan quickly touched Yang Chen’s arm.

Yang Chen turned his head.

Seeing Lin Xilan’s hopeful and worried look, he comforted her: “Wife, rest assured, I know what to do!”

Yang Chen gently patted her soft hand. Signaling her to relax.

“Everyone, Yan’er is my stepson. He has made a mistake, and I, as the Holy Son, will naturally not cover for him! However, Yan’er has been stuck at the Fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment realm recently, so his temperament is a bit restless. He acted impulsively and made such a mistake! Let’s do this, Li Junfeng!”

Yang Chen looked at Li Junfeng, who was wiping away tears.

“Holy Son, I’m here!”

Li Junfeng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Yang Chen looked at him, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips.

He could tell at a glance that Li Junfeng was pretending. This guy was definitely an old hand in the inner sect.

“Li Junfeng, it was wrong of Lin Yan to demand ten thousand spirit stones from you and even to attack you. As his stepfather, I apologize to you on behalf of Lin Yan! So, I will compensate you with thirty thousand spirit stones! Just consider it as you giving me face, and let’s not pursue this matter, okay?”

“What!?”

Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes.

The Holy Son, was trying to settle things with money! Isn’t this still covering for Lin Yan, his stepson?

“Holy Son, this is inappropriate! Issues regarding principles and rules cannot be compromised. No matter what the reason, Lin Yan cannot extort wealth from fellow disciples! By doing this, you are clearly covering up for him!” An elder stood up and spoke.

Yang Chen looked embarrassed: “Elder Zhao, can you consider this as giving me face? Just this once, it won’t happen again! If he commits such an offense again in the future, as his stepfather, I will definitely not spare him! Just this once! After all, he is just a twenty-year-old child!”
