"No problem, it's already resolved."
Ren Siyao said casually, then her gaze fell on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was lost in thought and didn't notice her admiring gaze, but Sun Tianqiang saw it all.
Sun Tianqiang calmed himself down and said, "Brother Lin must also be a martial artist. To be honest, I have also practiced martial arts since I was a child."
He raised his voice again and said arrogantly, "I am now at the seventh level of Body Refinement!"
"congratulation."
Lin Fan smiled. He had no concept of what it meant to be below the Transcendent Realm, but judging from Sun Tianqiang's tone, it should be something to be proud of in the modern world.
"Thank you——"
Sun Tianqiang looked embarrassed. He had thought he would surprise Lin Fan, but Lin Fan remained calm and even somewhat indifferent.
Judging from Lin Fan's reaction, he could only deduce two possibilities: either he was a piece of trash with only a superficial understanding of martial arts, or he was a peerless master. However, judging from his identity, he was most likely trash.
It's important to know that the sixth stage of martial arts and body refinement is a hurdle that is difficult to overcome.
Some people even spend years, decades, or even a lifetime on the 6th tier card.
Of course, this is only based on martial arts cultivation in the current world, which Lin Fan naturally doesn't know.
"Brother Lin, can you tell me how you saved Siyao?" Sun Tianqiang asked curiously, his hands resting on the table.
Lin Fan glanced at Ren Siyao first, and seeing that she did not stop him, he said, "That day in the abandoned factory in the suburbs, I happened to see Ren Siyao being kidnapped, so I rescued her."
"It was just a small favor, nothing to worry about."
"I see—" Sun Tianqiang said thoughtfully.
He then remained silent for a while.
After the dishes were served, while everyone was eating, Sun Tianqiang suddenly asked, "I wonder what level of martial arts Brother Lin is at?"
Lin Fan was somewhat at a loss, and Ren Siyao spoke up for him: "Lin Fan is an unorthodox practitioner who hasn't received formal martial arts training, but he is very strong."
"I have already applied to the sect leader to allow Lin Fan to enter the Huayun Sect. The sect ceremony will be held in a few days."
"We'll conduct another test later, and then we'll have a clear understanding of Lin Fan's strength."
She knew that Lin Fan could handle five Body Refinement Stage 4 opponents, and his strength was enough to get him into the Huayun Sect.
Sun Tianqiang's eyes darkened, and after a dozen seconds of silence, he suddenly slammed his fist on the table: "I do not agree to him joining the Huayun Sect!"
Lin Fan was taken aback, wondering why this young man had suddenly turned hostile.
Ren Siyao disagreed: "Lin Fan is capable, why do you disagree?"
Sun Tianqiang suddenly stood up and pointed at Lin Fan: "Because he has character issues!"
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Ren Siyao exclaimed in surprise, slamming her hand on the table and standing up as well. "Look at you, you're the one with questionable character!"
Ren Siyao turned back to comfort Lin Fan: "Lin Fan, don't be angry, this person has something wrong with his head."
Lin Fan just smiled. He wasn't angry at all; instead, he became curious about the basis of Sun Tianqiang's statement and wanted to hear him continue.
"An abandoned factory in the suburbs, why did he suddenly appear there?"
Sun Tianqiang declared vehemently, "Siyao, do you think this is a coincidence? This must have been Lin Fan's doing!"
"He's a live-in son-in-law who's been treated like dirt by the Su family. He hasn't had sex with his wife for two years. He must have developed some kind of mental problem!"
"You say he's very strong, but have you actually seen him? If he were really that strong, would he be living off a woman?"
The younger brother chimed in, "That's right, if Lin Fan really had that kind of ability, why would he be living off a woman?"
"Who in Shancheng doesn't know that Lin Fan is the Su family's good-for-nothing son-in-law!"
"The Su family had that incident a few days ago, so it's not impossible that Lin Fan could orchestrate your kidnapping himself."
Sun Tianqiang sighed, "Siyao, you need to be careful about who you befriend!"
"Hahaha." Lin Fan laughed and clapped his hands instead: "Your friends are good. What they said makes a lot of sense. It's commendable that they can think of you."
Lin Fan ignored the insults directed at him and felt that Sun Tianqiang and the others' logic was sound, and their advice to Ren Siyao was also reasonable.
Lin Fan knew Ren Siyao wouldn't believe him, but saying it like that would teach her a lesson she could learn in the future.
"Has this useless live-in son-in-law lost his mind?" the underling muttered.
"What kind of logic is that!" Ren Siyao's pretty face turned bright red. "I know who those people who kidnapped me are!"
Ren Siyao then pointed at Sun Tianqiang: "You guys have character issues. You rely on your strength to bully the weak and fear the strong in the Huayun Sect all day long!"
Hearing Ren Siyao say this, Sun Tianqiang was somewhat surprised, not expecting her to view him this way.
But you can't just give up on pursuing a girl so easily; you have to struggle a bit before giving up.
Sun Tianqiang covered his chest with both hands, feigning sincerity: "Siyao! I truly like you and genuinely care about you."
Why can't you feel my sincerity?
He glared at Lin Fan and said, "Instead of protecting a piece of trash you've only known for a few days!"
"And this good-for-nothing is a live-in son-in-law despised by his own family!"
Ren Siyao scoffed, "You have so many sincere hearts! You've poured your heart out to every woman in the Huayun Sect, and not one of them has paid any attention to you?"
The younger brother chimed in, "Of course! Our boss has already slept with both that Zhao and that Li!"
"Get lost, you useless teammate!" Sun Tianqiang cursed his underling.
The younger brother immediately lowered his head and dared not say another word.
"You're such a scoundrel!" Ren Siyao scoffed, then pulled Lin Fan up, "Lin Fan, let's go!"
She added, "This meal is on me. Just don't mess with me again in the Huayun Sect!"
Lin Fan shook his head inwardly, realizing he had misjudged Sun Tianqiang; he hadn't expected him to be such a scoundrel.
"Go? Where to go?"
When Sun Tianqiang's advances were rejected, he dropped the pretense of politeness: "Block the door! I'm going to do it right here in this private room today!"
The two henchmen slammed the door shut, one on each side, looking just like little devils guarding the door.
"Even if it wasn't a coincidence that he saved you, he must have run into a weakling!" Sun Tianqiang sneered. "I'd like to see how this piece of trash protects you!"
After saying that, Sun Tianqiang demonstrated his strength by grabbing an unopened bottle of beer. He unleashed his inner strength from his palm, and the bottle shattered with a crash.
The internal energy was released externally! Ren Siyao was so shocked that she took three steps back.
This is the strength one possesses only after breaking through to the 6th stage of Body Refinement, and it is also a watershed moment between the 6th stage and the rest of Body Refinement.
There's a saying in the martial arts world that only those who can release their internal energy externally can be considered true martial artists.
Ren Siyao had mixed feelings, a mixture of envy, resentment, and worry about her current situation.
She looked at Lin Fan nervously, knowing only that he had saved her, but still completely unaware of his strength.
Ren Siyao knew that she was no match for Sun Tianqiang and could only hope that Lin Fan was stronger than Sun Tianqiang, but the chances of that were slim to none.
Lin Fan was a self-taught practitioner, and he didn't even know about the existence of sects or the levels of martial arts.
However, Sun Tianqiang was exceptionally talented. He received formal martial arts training from a young age and broke through to the 7th level of body refinement in his 20s, which was rare in the entire mountain city.
Ren Siyao became more and more discouraged, thinking that if all else failed, she would just reveal her identity!
Just then, Lin Fan also picked up a bottle of beer.
