Lin Wufa and the others in the Fifth Army received a message from Lin Zhan, informing them that they were the first targets of the ten thousand races' allied forces.
Old Master Lin was so enraged that he stood frozen in place, cursing.
"What the...!"
Besides, Marshal Lin Zhan, the current patriarch of the Lin family, had even married his nominal cousin. Such a matter wouldn't even be considered a problem in Marshal Lin's eyes.
Thus, with Lin Zhan's declaration of "Grandpa," Ye Fan officially became a member of the Lin family.
In Marshal Lin's words, rules were irrelevant. He was the patriarch, and his word was law.
Moreover, could rules fill one's stomach? Having a powerful elder was what truly mattered.
So, Lin Zhan and the young Taoist pestered Ye Fan, calling him "Grandpa" repeatedly, hoping to learn his sword control techniques.
Ye Fan was utterly speechless, having met thick-skinned people before, but never one this shamelessly thick-skinned.
As a result, after seven days of Lin Zhan and the young Taoist learning from Ye Fan, they were unceremoniously tossed over the wall by Ye Fan.
In Ye Fan's words, "Damn it, were these two brats sent by the heavens to torment me? Seven days and not even a hint of swordsmanship. What's the point of learning sword control?"
For these two, simply giving them a brick when they got into a fight would suffice. Using a sword was a complete waste.
Upon seeing Ye Fan, Lin Wufa's eyes crinkled with delight.
"Yo, Ye Fan's here! Don't worry about your grandfather and godfather, this is just a minor incident. Oh right, Xiao Ming asked you to guard the formation for those fairy clan girls. How is it? Any catches your eye? If you do, just tell your grandpa, and I'll go ask the Old Ancestor to arrange a proposal for you."
Lin Wufa had only one son, Lin Xiang, who was coffin-bound before he could marry and have children.
Therefore, Lin Wufa doted on Ye Fan, his adopted grandson, immensely. After all, if he didn't have a biological grandson, an adopted one would do. The Lin family still had Marshal Lin, that scoundrel, to carry on the lineage.
Ye Fan looked at the old man, utterly bewildered, and said, "Grandpa, we're at war. Can we discuss this later?"
Lin Wufa blinked, "Ah, right, right, right. It's war, isn't it? I got too excited and forgot."
"By the way, Ye Fan, tell us what Zhan'er has planned. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent you out here."
Ye Fan shook his head helplessly and said, "Not only me, but these five as well." Su Dan Novel Network.
As he spoke, Ye Fan gestured to the five people behind him, clad in black cloaks.
Removing their cloaks, Lin Wufa looked at the five people in confusion. "How could Zhan'er have sent all five of you out here?"
The five mysterious individuals were none other than Marshal Lin's five personal bodyguards: Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Ma Chao, and Xu Hu Zi Xu Chu.
Lin Wufa knew that these five elders possessed the combat power to face a hundred men. Apart from Lin Zhan, they listened to no one else.
This even included their former employer. It was said that Boss Cao wanted to bring Xu Chu and Dian Wei back with him, but Xu Chu and Dian Wei hired Lu Bu, nearly killing Boss Cao.
Afterward, the five issued a statement: "Certain individuals were once warriors of the human race, dedicated to fighting on the front lines of humanity. Now that Lin Zhan, the Grand Marshal of the human race, is in command, we shall undoubtedly defend our Grand Marshal with our lives."
"As for others, let them speak as they will. Since ancient times, loyal ministers do not serve two masters. Having been reborn and awakened, we shall dedicate our lives to our Lord."
The five expounded at length, causing everyone who heard this to admire their unwavering loyalty and fearlessness.
However, there was a time when Xu Chu, having had too much to drink, put his arm around Boss Cao and said:
"Old Cao, it's not that brother and Brother Dian are speaking ill of you, but you're too damn stingy. After decades of service, you still don't pay as much as that kid Lin does in a year. So, stop thinking about it. It's not that we're disloyal, it's simply that Boss Lin pays too much."
"Oh, and my brother Dian and I have already poached your Five Elite Generals. So don't bother about them anymore. If you keep pestering us, don't blame us brothers for pooling money and hiring Feng Xian to take care of you."
