Lin Fan nodded: "Makes sense, standing up for your own people is only natural."

Yun Zhongzheng said: "That’s right, our Yun Sect disciple was killed by Ye Tianyu, and a life for a life, we want to kill Ye Tianyu, what’s wrong with that? Since we are right, then it’s wrong for you to stop us. Put yourself in our shoes, if your family was killed and someone stopped you, how would you feel?"

Lin Fan said: "I admit you have a point, if it were me, I would stop at nothing to take down my enemy."

Yun Zhongzheng chuckled: "Then is there any need for further discussion? The enmity of a loved one is irreconcilable, it’s only right for our Yun Sect to avenge our members. You come to stop us, what reasoning do you have?"

Lin Fan said: "Let’s put it this way, the feud between your Yun Sect and Ye Tianyu initially had nothing to do with me. Whether you kill him or he wants revenge, I could not have cared less, but unfortunately, Ye Tianyu took an action that made this no longer just your feud. Yun Qingyao should have told you, Ye Tianyu hid in prison, he’s now a convict, and when he escaped from prison that day, the police are after him. Sect Leader Yun, isn’t it also right for the police to catch an escaped convict?"

Yun Zhongzheng snorted, not speaking.

Lin Fan continued: "While the police were chasing Ye Tianyu, your Yun Sect wanted to catch him, and there was another person from a Hidden Sect trying to save him. In this situation, if you were the police, what would you do?"

Yun Zhongzheng chuckled: "Reasonably, the police should catch the criminal, that’s also right, but you’re not a cop, how is it your concern?"

Lin Fan said: "I am not a cop, but my friend is, my cop friend asked for my help to catch the criminal, and I agreed, which drew me into this matter. Since I agreed to help, I couldn’t just half-ass it, don’t you think I have a point?"

Yun Zhongzheng said: "You have your reasons, I have mine, and it means there’s no reason to talk further, in the end, it’s about whose fist is bigger!"

Lin Fan said: "Wait, I’m not finished yet. Let’s analyze this from the beginning. At the start of the event, Ye Tianyu was a bodyguard for the Li Family, a Rich Second Generation harassed the Li Family’s young lady, Ye Tianyu as a bodyguard taught this Rich Second Generation a lesson. The Rich Second Generation’s family was dissatisfied, so they sought revenge, which is where your Yun Sect got involved, leading to your Yun Sect member being killed by Ye Tianyu. In everything, there’s a matter of reason, and at the root, this Rich Second Generation was in the wrong. Your Yun Sect should never have helped someone without reason. Moreover, after your Yun Sect intervened, the Li Family’s Patriarch was murdered, and you still want to kill Ye Tianyu. Tell me, should Ye Tianyu really be killed by you without being able to defend himself?"

Yun Zhongzheng: "..."

"Preposterous!" At this point, an elder sitting on the side shouted angrily, "Our Yun Sect disciple is the greatest, what’s the point of reasoning? Sect Leader, do we need to listen to this kid’s sophistry? In my opinion, kill him and then kill Ye Tianyu!"

Lin Fan shook his head: "This elder brother is the type who just doesn’t care about reason."

"Courting death!"

The elder slapped the armrest, stood up suddenly, and a powerful aura erupted from his entire body, clearly about to make a move on Lin Fan.

Yun Zhongzheng said: "Third Brother, calm down."

The elder was indeed about to attack Lin Fan, he had tolerated Lin Fan for too long. As a Martial Artist, he believed in whoever’s fist was bigger, reasoning be damned, especially after hearing Lin Fan’s words just now, they indeed seemed a bit unreasonable, which made him even more unwilling to listen.

But with the Sect Leader speaking, he couldn’t disobey orders, so he sat back down, suppressing his anger.

Seeing the elder sit down, Yun Zhongzheng looked at Lin Fan and said: "Mr. Lin, you’re lucky, it just so happens that I’m someone who respects reasoning. From what you’ve said, it seems we’re indeed a bit unreasonable, but there’s no choice. As they say, in the Jianghu, you’re not in control, once things are stirred up, they can’t go back, analyzing right and wrong afterward is meaningless. Now that our Yun Sect disciple is dead, we must make Ye Tianyu pay the price, and anyone who stops us is an enemy of the Yun Sect, do you understand what I mean, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Fan nodded: "I understand, it means there’s no need to talk reason anymore. Look, Sect Leader Yun, I initially approached this with the mindset of talking things out, trying to resolve issues, meaning I gave Sect Leader Yun the choice to settle this reasonably and peacefully. But since Sect Leader Yun chose to abandon reason, I have no choice either."

Yun Zhongzheng said: "Mr. Lin, we don’t necessarily have to fight, nor do we have to kill Ye Tianyu. Qing Yao wanted to get 1 billion from Ye Tianyu, and I’ve already discussed with the elders of our sect and the closest relatives of the deceased disciple. They are all willing to accept Qing Yao’s plan, 1 billion, to buy Ye Tianyu’s dog’s life. The problem now is that Mr. Lin has taken this 1 billion, and as long as Mr. Lin is willing to return it to us, we will let Ye Tianyu go, ending this matter. What do you think?"

Lin Fan smiled: "This 1 billion is neither mine nor Ye Tianyu’s, but the Li Family’s. I’m merely entrusted to keep it temporarily, so I’m sorry, I have no authority to release this fund. Moreover, as I see it, I don’t agree with this solution either. I think Sect Leader Yun hasn’t gotten the situation clear. Yun Qingyao was originally in my hands, and I can turn her over to the police. For the crimes she’s committed, she wouldn’t be out in less than ten years."

Yun Zhongzheng said: "What are you trying to say?"

Lin Fan said: "What I’m saying is, it’s not your Yun Sect who gets to set the terms now, it’s me setting the terms for you. Strictly speaking, Yun Qingyao is still a wanted criminal. If I take her back, she will have to go to jail. I can return her to you now, and the condition is that this matter ends here. You will no longer go to Yun City to kill Ye Tianyu, and you will no longer provoke me. If you can’t agree, then sorry, I’ll have to hand Yun Qingyao over to the police."

"Arrogant!"

The elder from before shouted angrily again.

Everyone else was also enraged, clearly provoked by Lin Fan’s words, which they found extremely audacious!

Yun Zhongzheng said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin, you’re here alone, and you dare to set such terms with me? It seems you are very confident."

Lin Fan said: "I have one more bargaining chip, as long as Sect Leader Yun agrees to my terms, I will help Yun Qingyao lift the seal on her Dantian, I am confident in that. If I don’t help her lift the seal, she will live her life with a Silver Needle stuck in her, constantly under threat. Your Yun Sect can indeed kill me, but after I die, Yun Qingyao won’t fare well either. How’s this condition?"

Yun Zhongzheng sneered: "Is Mr. Lin threatening me?"

Lin Fan smiled: "You could say that."

Yun Zhongzheng shook his head: "I do not agree!"

Lin Fan said "Oh", "Then I’m sorry, bring Yun Qingyao out, I will take her away."

"I’m here, are you sure you can take me with you?" Yun Qingyao’s voice came through at this time.
