Once the eyes of the old master and the third master dimmed, Lin Fan turned to Lin Li Zi to say, "From now on, they will follow you. Though with just them, the Lin Family will be weaker than before, so I hope that you will be careful."
Lin Li Zi gave a nod when she heard this before looking at the two of them with a complicated look.
She then gave a sigh and turned back to Lin Fan to ask, "What now?"
Lin Fan just calmly said, "We wait. When everyone gets here, then we'll decide what to do with the Lin Family."
Lin Li Zi raised a brow in confusion when she heard this, but she didn't say anything to question him.
But she soon found out what he was talking about.
After half an hour, Lin Fan brought their group out to the main entrance of the Lin Family where there was a large group waiting for them there.
There were a few faces that Lin Li Zi recognized, so she knew what this group was.
It was the group of illegitimate children of the Lin Family. They had all been sent away from the Lin Family manor, but now they had all been brought back.
They were naturally confused as to why they had been called back, but those confused looks were exchanged for scared looks when they saw all the guards that were standing outside. All of these were the guards of the Lin Family that had looked down on them before, so there was a bit of trauma towards them.
The governor was also in this group as he led his men to the Lin Family manor.
When he saw Lin Fan, he immediately came over and said, "Sir Envoy, where's the head of the Lin Family? We need to find him and lock him up right away."
He was strangely enthusiastic about this, but it wasn't without reason.
Though he had doubted Lin Fan when they had first met, now he was fully supporting him because he saw what the Lin Family had been planning.
Simply put, he was more motivated now that he had seen the benefits that he would receive from this.
The plot of the Lin Family was certainly a heinous one, but the most important thing was that their crime was of the highest level. If he became someone that stopped a plot of this level, then there was no doubt that he would receive great benefits from the central government.
When the time came, he might even be able to go from governor to one of the ministers of the Mu Empire.
At the same time, it was very likely that he would receive an increase in nobility rank because of this.
Seeing all of these benefits, he naturally cooperated fully with Lin Fan even if he was scared of him.
Lin Fan just pointed behind him at the old master and the third master following behind Lin Li Zi.
The governor's eyes immediately lit up and he was about to go forward to arrest the two of them. But before he could, Lin Fan suddenly raised his hand to stop him and shook his head.
The governor had a very confused look when he saw this, but he didn't go against Lin Fan.
He knew how terrifying Lin Fan could be, so he waited to see what Lin Fan had in mind.
He just looked at the two of them with that strange look of recognition without saying anything before turning to look at Lin Fan. But even when he looked at Lin Fan, he didn't say anything as if he was waiting for Lin Fan to say something first.
Lin Fan just calmly looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The governor revealed an awkward look as he said, "Those two behind this young miss, aren't they..."
He didn't finish his words, but the implications behind them were clear.
Lin Fan just calmly said with a smile on his face, "These two are One and Two, they are the bodyguards of the new head of the Lin Family. The new head of the Lin Family is the young miss that you referred to."
The governor looked at Lin Li Zi again with a surprised and strange look, but then he just slowly gave a nod.
He knew what kind of powers Lin Fan had, so he could already guess what Lin Fan was planning to do after he heard this. Though it would be a bit troublesome, it was still within the realm of what he could handle.
At the same time, Lin Fan represented the Mu Empire since he came with that order, so it was better for him not to go against him.
After accepting this, the governor was about to say something, but Lin Fan cut him off by saying, "I haven't introduced myself yet. I forgot to do so last time when we met."
The governor was immediately taken aback when he heard this.
He looked at Lin Fan with a strange look as if he was trying to figure out if he was being serious or not. But Lin Fan just had a calm look on his face as he continued.
"My name is Lin Fan."
Lin Fan said these very simple words, but they shocked the governor.
Lin...
He was surnamed Lin as well...
It seemed that there was a very complicated story behind the Lin Family and this young man who had been sent from the central government.
But the governor wisely knew to stay out of this.
After all, there was nothing for him to gain from butting into this matter.
The less that he knew, the better it was for him.
Of course, he also knew why Lin Fan would reveal this at this time.
It was to let the governor know that the Lin Family was connected to him.
As long as he didn't hear news of this young man's demise, then he would make sure to take care of the Lin Family for him.
As for how he would get news of this young man named Lin Fan...it was easy for him as the governor of this Peach Province.
In the end, the governor could only reveal an awkward smile as he said, "Young Master Lin, it is an honour to make your acquaintance."
