167: Chapter 167 Your Girlfriend?
"So, Lin Fan, please, you must win!"
Luo Zhongheng straightened up, looking into Lin Fan's eyes with an incredibly serious expression.
Lin Fan was slightly taken aback, wondering if the Vice Principal had told this kid to say that.
Why did those words sound so familiar?
Regardless, he still nodded.
"We'll see."
After saying that, he turned and left.
He met up with his family and Qing Yu outside the venue.
His parents thought Lin Fan would be in a bad mood because the academy had lost the match.
They wanted to comfort him, but were surprised to find him looking relaxed and completely unconcerned.
Qing Yu knew the reason but didn't say much.
After all, she had heard Jiang Tianhai explain the scoring rules for the second round and was certain that Lin Fan would win.
Lin Fan leaned in close to Qing Yu and asked in a low voice if she enjoyed watching the match.
Qing Yu's body trembled, and she quickly said it was very interesting and she had a great time.
Lin Fan knew she was lying and told her to tell the truth.
"It was so boring. Can I not come next time?"
Qing Yu asked in a small voice.
Lin Fan shrugged, indicating that she would have to ask his parents about that.
They hadn't walked very far...
...before they ran into the members of the Wave Squad.
Aunt Mi Xue offered to drive them home again.
His mother initially wanted to decline.
During the previous round of the tournament, Aunt Mi Xue had driven them back every day, and she felt truly bad about it.
Even his father felt a bit uneasy.
Aunt Mi Xue waved her hand, telling them not to be so polite.
She said that giving them a ride after the tournament ended was nothing at all.
She mentioned that Lin Fan had been a huge help during raids and missions, so driving them home was just a small matter.
Faced with Aunt Mi Xue's firm attitude...
...Lin Fan's parents couldn't refuse any longer and had to agree.
Just then...
...Aunt Mi Xue and the squad members noticed Qing Yu and were all startled by her cuteness.
Everyone asked about her identity.
Lin Fan's mother repeated the story that Lin Fan had made up.
After hearing the story...
...Aunt Mi Xue and the squad members all looked at Lin Fan with meaningful expressions.
Lin Fan could almost read their inner thoughts from their expressions.
"So you lied to us before; you weren't rejected at all!"
"Your girlfriend is homeless? Why didn't you bring her to the squad base?"
"But isn't she a bit too young? You like younger girls? Well, that's fine, you're not that old yourself."
Lin Fan: "..."
What on earth were these people thinking!
The other Wave Squad members left first.
Aunt Mi Xue and Yao Dong drove Lin Fan's family home.
After dropping them off at their doorstep, the two returned to the squad base, while the family went inside.
It was still early, with several hours left before dinner.
After a quick shower and change of clothes, his father headed out, saying he was going to handle the matter he had discussed with his wife.
After his father left, his mother took Qing Yu and Lin Duo out shopping, leaving Lin Fan home alone.
He wasn't worried about Qing Yu going out with his mother and sister.
This Demonic Beast had been very well-behaved lately, and she knew very well what she should and shouldn't do.
Alone at home, Lin Fan didn't have anything in particular to do, so he took out his phone and scrolled through it aimlessly.
Before long, he felt bored and decided to go out for a walk.
Walking along the suburban streets, Lin Fan looked at the scenery along the way, his thoughts drifting.
It had already been two months since he came to this world.
He wondered how his original world was doing and what happened to the child who was in the car accident with him.
Would his original family still miss him?
It had only been two months; they should still be thinking about him, right?
As Lin Fan passed by several patrolling Alliance guards, he sensed that someone was secretly tailing him.
He knew in his heart that this person was sent by the principal of Lin Duo's school.
Since he was free anyway, Lin Fan suddenly thought of something... it was time he met that principal!
Now that he had Qing Yu, he didn't need to worry about his family's safety when he wasn't home.
His parents also had the Triple Talisman he bought at the auction; there was no need for these people to follow them anymore.
After all, they were only Tier 2 Mages; if even Qing Yu and the talismans couldn't protect his family, these people wouldn't be of any use anyway.
With a goal in mind, Lin Fan quickened his pace, turned into a secluded corner, and used Void Walk to vanish instantly.
The person tailing him watched helplessly as he disappeared around the street corner, utterly shocked.
He didn't think Lin Fan had been kidnapped; kidnappers couldn't be that fast, and he hadn't sensed anyone else's presence.
Could it be that the kid realized he was being followed and ran off?
That was the most likely case; after all, Lin Fan was a First-Order Mage, only one tier lower than him.
He decided to look around before returning to report.
On the other side.
Lin Fan had already put on his mask and black robe, and with a single Void Walk, he arrived at Lin Duo's school.
He opened a Spatial Gate in the principal's office and stepped inside.
The principal was looking through documents in his office and only realized someone had entered when Lin Fan spoke.
The principal hurried to stand and greet him, but Lin Fan raised a hand to signal that there was no need for formalities.
He didn't care for empty courtesies and directly stated his purpose:
To have the principal withdraw everyone sent to monitor Lin Duo's family.
The principal was stunned and quickly asked for the reason.
Lin Fan said he had other arrangements, and the people the principal sent were too weak to be of any use anymore.
He added that even if the principal himself went to watch over them, it wouldn't be of any use.
After hearing Mr. Chen's words, the principal took a deep breath.
Had it been anyone else saying that, he would have been enraged long ago...
After all, he was a Tier 3 Mage, which was considered mid-level strength in the mage world.
But since the speaker was Mr. Chen, he didn't dare show the slightest dissatisfaction and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
He promised to immediately do as Lin Fan instructed.
Lin Fan was satisfied with his attitude and decided to give him a little something.
He handed the principal an alliance card containing over fifty million yuan and then left.
After leaving Lin Duo's school, Lin Fan headed to the Wave Squad base to kill some time.
When he arrived, many members were absent, including Aunt Mi Xue, Selena, and Yao Dong.
Lin Fan wasn't surprised that Yao Dong wasn't there; Aunt Mi Xue always treated him as her exclusive driver and took him everywhere.
Those present were members who didn't have much interaction with Lin Fan but had left a good impression.
After some casual pleasantries, Lin Fan went to the training rooms he had heard about.
After staying in the training room for a while...
...Lin Fan walked out, disappointed.
He regretted not coming here to take a look before advancing to the sixth tier.
These training rooms were only suitable for mages below Tier 3; for him, who had already reached the level of a Saint Mage...
...this place was no different from an amusement park.
Inside, there were rooms for testing casting speed, Spell power, and reaction time, as well as combat simulation modes.
But for Lin Fan, everything was far too simple, with no fun to be had.
Fortunately, he had been out for a while now and it was time to go home.
He soon left the squad base and returned to the suburbs.
His mother had already returned with the two girls and was busy in the kitchen.
Having nothing to do, Lin Fan went in to help.
Lin Duo was very excited to see him.
She told him that their mother had bought many beautiful dresses for her and Qing Yu, and had also bought clothes for Lin Fan, which were placed in his room.
Lin Fan could understand the girl's happy mood.
