Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1644: Chapter 1678: For My Sister

”Now you can think about it. Things are not absolute. As long as you have confidence in yourself, I believe the position of Family Head of the Hai Family will definitely be yours!” Lin Zifeng said solemnly.

”But... Lin, I never even thought about being the Family Head. Can I really do it?”

Although Hai Zhilan had never thought about becoming the Family Head, now the man sitting opposite him said he was giving him the opportunity. Could he not be excited?

He has been seen as a failure in the family for a long time, and now this opportunity is right in front of him. It’s absolutely a lie if he claims he doesn’t want to vie for the position of Family Head.

”If you want to do it, even God will help you.” Lin Zifeng said calmly.

”This, this is too unrealistic! I’m, I’m not even mentally prepared for it!” In Hai Zhilan’s eyes, Lin Zifeng undoubtedly seemed like a divine presence.

”Then when will you be ready?” Lin Zifeng lifted his head and sneered, glancing at him as he said, ”This world is survival of the fittest; if you can’t accept that, you’ll only be eliminated. Only the weak aren’t accepted by this world.”

”But...”

”Is there anything worse than you and your sister being kicked out of the house?”

”Lin, can you give me some time? I feel like my heart is being electrocuted, beating very hard. Can you give me some time?”

”Hmph, alright, but you must think it through. No one has much time. If you miss this opportunity, you won’t even have a chance to turn things around later.”

”...”

Hai Zhilan didn’t speak. Under the pressure of Lin Zifeng’s formidable aura, he didn’t know what to do next. He could only lower his head, hesitating in his heart. Though Hai Zhilan was the third young master of the Hai Family, he was arrogant and brazen, never low-key. But when it came to doing actual things, he was quite cowardly.

Now Lin Zifeng has presented him with a difficult problem, making him want yet also a bit fearful.

”Opportunities only come once; if you miss them, they won’t appear again.” Lin Zifeng said coldly, also guessing Hai Zhilan’s mindset. Seeing Hai Zhilan’s hesitation, Lin Zifeng contemplated whether he himself was being too hasty.

Maybe Hai Zhilan really isn’t cut out for this. Perhaps he would have to play matchmaker, help him court Beiming Huang...

”Lin! How sure are you that you can help me get the Family Head position?” At this moment, Hai Zhilan’s eyes flashed with determination, making a significant decision.

”As long as you’re willing, no one in this world can stop your progress,” Lin Zifeng laughed.

”But... I... Ah~” Hai Zhilan hesitated, shook his head, and smiled bitterly, saying, ”I know what I’m capable of, so I don’t dare to act too boldly. To be honest, whether I sit in the Family Head position or not is no different. I enjoy a carefree life, but for my sister now, if I really have to choose, I can only protect my sister. If... If things really don’t work out, then I’ll just fall out with Hai Wuyan!”

”Haha... There’s only one chance like this. Since you’ve already decided, what will you do next? Didn’t you say there would be some kind of family test? What are you planning to do to prepare?”

”How could I handle it? I’m really not cut out for it. The so-called test requires not only insight but evaluation skills, observational skills, good judgment. Since I was fifteen, I’ve been Fallen and never systematically learned how to identify items at auctions...”

After saying this, Hai Zhilan unconsciously rubbed his nose with embarrassment, feeling somewhat awkward.

This marked the start of his downfall...

”Turns out they called this kid a failure for a reason,” Lin Zifeng thought secretly.

Immediately he looked up at him: ”Don’t worry, I’ll handle this for the time being.”

”Really!”

Hai Zhilan’s eyes sparkled.

”Would I lie to you?” Lin Zifeng glanced at him irritably.

”By the way, Lin, I know my brother Hai Wuyan will hold a banquet at xxx Hotel in three days. Do you have time? Maybe you could accompany me and see what’s going on, and learn more about him?”

Hai Zhilan suggested, knowing the banquet in three days was Hai Wuyan’s birthday party. Naturally, his elder brother invited many people, including him. To prevent himself from being embarrassed by Hai Wuyan, Hai Zhilan now wanted to bring Lin Zifeng along...

”Hehe... this is your idea, right? Kid, don’t think just because you squat down I don’t know what you’re up to. You’re afraid of being embarrassed by Hai Wuyan, so you’re dragging me along to support you, right?” Lin Zifeng laughed, revealing his little plan...

”Haha... Lin, we’re brothers now. You wouldn’t mind such a thing, would you?”

”Of course I don’t mind, but you also have to do me a favor.”

”What kind of favor? As long as I can help you with it, I’ll make sure it gets done.”

”Then tell me, what kind of herbs and elixirs at the auction can quickly enhance a cultivator’s cultivation?”

”Uh...”

”What? Can’t you even help me with this small favor?” Lin Zifeng looked at him strangely.

”There are, but they’re not easy to obtain.” Hai Zhilan understood his family background, knowing such items were usually managed by his sister, so asking him to obtain them would be fruitless.

”I don’t need you to get them; I just want to know what kind of herbs and elixirs there are. Tell me, and I’ll naturally get them myself.”

”Lin, then would you give me some time? I’ll go back and ask my sister. Will that work?” Hai Zhilan’s eyes flickered.

Lin Zifeng naturally knew he still didn’t fully trust him. Although this guy was timid, with little ambition, he was quite wary of others. So, Lin Zifeng wasn’t in a hurry now.

”Okay, I promise to go with you to your brother’s birthday party in three days, but...” Lin Zifeng held up his cup, gently shaking it in front of him, the meaning clear.

Hai Zhilan, not foolish at all, immediately plastered a smile on his face and chuckled, ”Don’t worry, Lin, I’ll definitely get your favor done. Give me some time, hehe, just a bit of time.”

”Three days should be enough, right?” Lin Zifeng looked into his eyes, causing Hai Zhilan to look away slightly.

”Enough, enough. Um, Lin, I have some things to take care of, so I’ll leave first. I’ll call you back in three days, and I’ll definitely bring good news.” After saying this, the guy bent over, grabbed the coffee on the table, drank it all at once, and quickly scampered away from the scene...

Watching him hurriedly leave, Lin Zifeng smirked and shook the coffee cup in his hand. He knew Hai Zhilan did not trust him; they’d only just met.

After Hai Zhilan went downstairs, he patted his chest in relief.

Displaying a residual panic.

”Good thing I ran fast. Otherwise, he would’ve asked it out of me. Sister told me not to reveal the family’s assets to anyone. Sorry, Lin, blame it on my lack of understanding of you yet. Once we’re closer, I’ll tell you whatever you want to know...”
