Chapter 453: Communication Requires Strategy

"Truly impressive."

Wu Sheng was speechless, only able to utter these three words.

Any normal person wouldn't say such a thing, but unfortunately, Lin Fan spoke his mind freely. His words might make others uncomfortable, but from Lin Fan's perspective, he was just speaking the truth, without any issues whatsoever.

Li Guofeng snorted coldly and turned to leave. His grand ambitions were just beginning to unfold, and there was no need to dwell on this matter. Revenge would be most satisfying when everything was successful in the future.

"So rude." Lin Fan wanted to have a good chat with him, to comfort his soul, but unexpectedly, the other party clearly didn't want to say a word to him.

"Sigh!"

He shook his head.

Old Zhang said, "He's really unfriendly."

Lin Fan said, "Yeah."

Wu Sheng, standing at the side, was already dumbfounded. Wasn't this too cruel? You killed someone's grandson, and you still expect them to acknowledge you? Not acknowledging you is considered rude and unfriendly? This kind of perception was truly frightening.

Wu Sheng shuddered. Perhaps this was how big shots communicated.

He feared the day Lin Fan might kill his father, then come over to comfort him, saying, "Your dad died quickly, it didn't hurt at all. Look on the bright side, don't overthink it."

If that really happened…

He'd probably be scared witless.

Wu Xingyun looked at his young master and stealthily pulled him aside.

"Young Master, are you putting all your bets on Lin Fan?"

Thinking carefully, he had already seen the true thoughts in his young master's heart. It was impulsive, indeed. The road ahead was long; there was no need to decide on something so quickly.

Wu Sheng said, "That's right. I've made up my mind. I'm gambling, betting on a chance to turn things around."

Wu Xingyun knew what Wu Sheng meant.

But he felt that his young master was gambling a bit too much.

And in this current situation, problems were bound to arise.

If the clan knew that the young master hadn't joined the Alliance High Court, they would definitely blame him. Other large clans all wanted to get some slaves and, by the way, use the High Court's abilities to analyze the history of the mountains and ancient relics here. Knowing oneself and one's enemy ensured a hundred battles, a hundred victories, and the ability to obtain good things.

He could only pray in his heart that his young master had bet correctly.

The next day.

The internet exploded.

The Li Group invested a great deal of energy in publicity; the news media were frantically reporting. First, there was money to be made, and second, this was indeed big news, a trans-epochal event, something that might even be recorded in history books.

Everyone was discussing this matter.

"Holy crap, this is a new era! My talent wasn't that great before, so I didn't join the four great High Courts. Now the opportunity has come, I want to cultivate, and what's more, cultivate the cultivation methods of the Starry Sky Great Clans."

"I wonder when we can sign up. In the future, there will be a chance to see the starry sky."

"Haha, I'm so looking forward to it, so excited."

"Those handsome guys from the Starry Sky Great Clans are really handsome. I really want to marry them. Maybe I'll marry a young master."

"I think the royal family is the best."

"Yes, yes."

Some were happy, naturally, some were worried.

A certain well-known university.

Classroom.

A history professor said with a serious expression, "Those who are not of our kind have different hearts. The Starry Sky Great Clans all have ulterior motives for coming here. Now they want to establish schools. This is not something to be happy about, students. History tells us that the invasion of cultural beliefs is the most terrifying. It can dismantle a nation without expending a single soldier or clan member."

As an old professor, he was well aware of various histories.

Seeing the young students rejoicing at the appearance of the Alliance High Court, as a patriotic professor, he felt a sense of worry.

"Professor, I don't agree with your point of view."

A male student stood up and said.

The professor adjusted his glasses. "Please speak."

The male student said, "I think those Starry Sky Great Clans are just like us, higher beings with historical heritage, not those ferocious creatures. I think this is a kind of progress for our human race, learning from each other, helping each other, learning their strengths, and turning their knowledge into our knowledge."

When he said this, the male student looked at the female students around him, all smiling.

"Besides, the girls in our class all want to marry those young talents from the Starry Sky Great Clans. They're really handsome, so elegant. Even I'm having some thoughts."

The students burst into laughter.

The female students were all very shy, as if they were really going to marry those Starry Sky Great Clans.

"Sigh!" The professor shook his head, feeling afraid and disappointed by the views of these students. He pressed his hand down. "Please sit down."

Then, in a serious tone, he continued, "Students, you must learn from history. How many historical events tell us that those who are not of our kind have different hearts? Without the same history, culture, and beliefs, when two races collide, they will hide their true intentions. When one side is weaker than the other, that will be the beginning of enslavement."

"Do you know why the Starry Sky Great Clans agreed to establish the Alliance High Court instead of enslaving us?"

He wanted to let these young people know that many things were not as simple as they imagined.

The students looked at each other.

Then they started talking all at once.

"Because they, like us, love peace."

"Our Dragon Country is very strong, and they have things they want to learn from us."

"The Li Group is financially strong, and the special department must have communicated with those Starry Sky Great Clans and reached some kind of agreement."

Listening to the students' reasons, the professor was very disappointed and regretful.

What was wrong with the young people these days?

"Professor, are we wrong?"

"Wrong, children, you are all wrong. I tell you to read the news more often, but you all go chasing dramas and playing games, never caring about these things. I'll tell you, it's because of one person."

When he said this, the professor paused, then slowly said, "It's our Dragon Country's guardian, Lin Fan. Because of his existence, the Starry Sky Great Clans didn't dare to attack us."

A few months ago, when the evil creatures attacked Yanhai City, he had noticed Lin Fan's existence.

He was also a fan of Sun Xiao.

Sun Xiao's videos had a lot of content about Lin Fan.

"Ah, Professor, I know about our guardian, but to say that he alone deterred so many Starry Sky Great Clans is a bit of an exaggeration."

"Yeah."

"I also feel it's unlikely."

The students were somewhat disbelieving.

The professor was quite helpless about this. He had already made it very clear. If they put their hearts into investigating, they would discover this situation.

Yanhai City.

Special Department.

Most people were worried about the Alliance High Court.

The most at ease were naturally Lin Fan and the others.

They didn't take this matter to heart at all.

At this time, Lin Fan and Old Zhang were staying in the room watching a movie.

This was one of his few hobbies.

This fighting movie was very exciting.

"Young man, you have no martial virtue! Attacking by surprise!"

"I am the Sect Master of the Mixed Yuan Tai Chi Sect, possessing the Four Whips of Tai Chi: Ward Off, Roll Back, Press, and Push."

Very captivating voices came from the television.

Lin Fan and Old Zhang watched with rapt attention.

"Wow, such powerful moves." Lin Fan said.

"Mmm, yeah, you can tell just by looking that they're very powerful." Old Zhang nodded in agreement.

Knock, knock!

Lin Fan said, "Old Zhang, go open the door."

Old Zhang said, "I don't want to open it. You go."

They were very engrossed. They suddenly glanced at Ginseng. Ginseng was lying on the bed facing them. Seeing their gazes, it turned on its side, facing the wall. I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything. I'll continue sleeping. Whatever…

The Evil Rooster noticed the situation, tucked its wings, squatted on the ground, and closed its eyes. I'm asleep too, don't call me.

Knock, knock!

The knocking sound came again.

One-Eyed Man, standing outside the door, pondered.

Where were they?

Could they be out?

But that was impossible. He had already inquired; they hadn't gone out. There was no other way but to continue knocking.

After a long time.

Lin Fan opened the door and saw One-Eyed Man. He asked curiously, "Is there something?"

"Busy?" One-Eyed Man asked.

Lin Fan nodded. "Mmm."

One-Eyed Man noticed that Lin Fan's expression was somewhat serious and was immediately curious. What could it be that kept a mentally ill patient busy?

"I have something I want to chat with you about." One-Eyed Man had placed all his hopes on Lin Fan. In the past, it was always said that people had to rely on themselves, but that was just a kind of self-consolation. If they really encountered some problems, not much else to say, they had to rely on Lin Fan.

Inside the room.

One-Eyed Man saw the paused television screen.

Another kung fu movie.

He found it difficult to understand why Lin Fan liked watching these kung fu movies. But how could he know that a large part of the reason Lin Fan liked to spar with others was because he learned it from movies.

"You know about the Alliance High Court, right?"

Asking wasn't asking for nothing. Having participated in the social gathering, he definitely knew. But considering that Lin Fan was a mentally ill patient, he might have some gaps in his memory, so reminding him was fine.

"I don't know." Lin Fan shook his head.

One-Eyed Man was helpless. Could he pay attention to some things? At least when it was brought up, he'd have some idea.

"It's the social gathering we went to in Xiadu a while ago… you ate a lot of things there."

What was said before was nonsense; the last sentence was the key point.

Lin Fan suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember."

Sure enough, eating was the most important thing.

One-Eyed Man said, "The Starry Sky Great Clans are not friendly to us. The Alliance High Court is being established in Yanhai City. I hope you can go there for a walk when you have nothing to do, preferably beat up those strong people from the Starry Sky Great Clans."

Actually, he could have said it more tactfully.

He suddenly remembered Hao Ren telling him something: When you communicate with them, don't beat around the bush, be direct. This is the easiest to understand. If you speak too profoundly, it's likely you'll have spoken in vain.

Thinking carefully, it made sense.

Lin Fan said, "I never bully the weak."

"They are strong."

"Oh, then I can spar with the strong." Lin Fan liked to spar with the strong. This kind of sparring was beating them up, politely beating them up.

One-Eyed Man felt it was necessary to learn some professional knowledge from Hao Ren about communicating with mentally ill patients.

Just now, after a series of interactions, he understood how to make Lin Fan understand his meaning.

Overall, it was quite good.

According to One-Eyed Man's guess, the establishment of the Alliance High Court would be within this period. Li Guofeng wouldn't delay, as he was also afraid of something unexpected happening.
