Chapter 36 Assassins
All sorts of misinformation were going around in the chatter.
Lin Fan didn't bother much; he was busy scanning around the room, taking note of his competition.
When his eyes passed by one of the rich young lords, a familiar sound erupted in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]
[Terminate person with malevolent intent for 10 vengeance points.]
Malevolent intent out of the blue?
Lin Fan quickly looked back at the rich young lords again, memorizing their faces.
He didn't need to figure much.
The malevolent intent must be coming from one of them, who was from the Tan family.
Guess there's work to be done tonight, Lin Fan thought to himself.
"If you all are looking for one with a recommendation letter, here is one. Let's have a toast for young master Tan Rui here."
One of the rich young lords stood up and proposed a toast.
The table with all the rich young lords raised their cups and joined in.
When the other diners heard what the rich young lord had said, they gasped and continued their chatter.
"Damn, I heard having the recommendation letter lets you have a higher chance of enrollment."
"Really? If it's true, this Tan Rui would have such a bright future ahead."
"Hmph. Nothing to be envious about. He is rich and powerful while it's impossible for commoners like us to get it."
One of the diners wasn't too impressed and caught the attention of the rich young lord.
The rich young lord glanced over to his servants.
And the servants dragged the poor man outside for a beating.
"That is for slandering the honorable Qing Feng sect."
After witnessing what had happened, the chatter died down.
Everyone just focused on their meal.
Lin Fan took a hard look at this Tan Rui.
He was a young teenager like him, with a rounded face, sparse eyebrows, and wearing a bright red robe.
Instinctively, Lin Fan didn't like him as he had some resemblance to Master Tan.
"Brother Lim, let's not spoil the mood for everyone. Dinner is on me tonight."
Tan Rui stood up, gave an apologetic smile to everyone in the dining hall, stopping for a moment when his glance passed by Lin Fan.@@@@
Hearing the announcement, everyone got excited again.
Nightfall.
All the guests had retired early after taking their Qi concentration pills and doing their daily meditation.
Everyone wanted to ensure they were in the best possible optimal state.
Lin Fan and Ho Ming did the same.
With their beds opposite each other, they said goodnight and slept.
Soon, loud snoring noises emerged from their room.
Creak.
Out in the empty corridor, the wooden floor made creaking noises.
With knives in their hands, men in black masks and black clothes slowly approached Lin Fan's room.
The man nearest the door took a deep breath and slowly pushed it open.
Clank.
A flowerpot was placed behind the door; it cracked and made a loud noise when it toppled over.
"You..!"
One of the masked men was angry at the carelessness.
"What? Who are you..." Lin Fan got up from his bed and gave the men a frightened look.
This emboldened the men.
"Go in and kill him!" the man commanded.
They streamed into the room, raised their hands, and slashed down at Lin Fan.
Thud!
Their knives hacked at the blanket and wooden bed board, giving out a muted thud.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan had jumped out of the bed and gotten out of harm's way.
Before the men could turn and face him.
Lin Fan pushed them from behind, and they fell onto the bed.
"Get his friend!" the man standing at the back commanded.
The other men followed the instruction and went at Ho Ming's bed.
Thud!
Ho Ming wasn't at his bed.
"He is making a fool of us; get him!"
All the men then came rushing at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan faked a scared expression, turned to the open window, and jumped out of it.
