Chapter 4731
“If you want to follow me, you must treat everyone equally. Give them their share, or I’ll beat you up!”
Kai glared sternly at Lin Kefan.
Hua Zhangweng and Mo Shaying were so moved that they nearly burst into tears.
They wanted to kneel and kowtow to Kai.
Now this was a true leader!
Seeing that Kai was serious, Lin Kefan sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. I am Lin Kefan, the fourth prince of Sun Moon City.”
“Has my sister, Lin Keting, secretly married you? If so, that means you should be calling me Fourth Uncle!”
“What? You’re from Sun Moon City?” Kai pretended to be shocked, then shook his head. “No way. You’re definitely not from Sun Moon City. Don’t try to fool me. Do you have any proof?”
“Here’s my token. Take a look.” Lin Kefan handed his token to Kai.
Kai glanced at it, then feigned disbelief. “You’re really the fourth prince of Sun Moon City? My Fourth Uncle…?”
“Then… that guy I beat up two days ago—wasn’t he my eldest uncle?”
“Yes, that was Lin Kedong, the eldest prince of Sun Moon City. I came here to take you back with me,” Lin Kefan confirmed with a nod.
“Damn, isn’t this like the flood washing away the Dragon King Temple, where family members fail to recognize each other? But why did my eldest uncle try to kill me?” Kai asked, deliberately playing dumb.
“Don’t ask so many questions. Just come back to Sun Moon City with me, and I’ll explain everything there!”
Lin Kefan couldn’t exactly admit that his older brother wanted to kill his brother-in-law for the Ten Palaces Killing Order.
“I’m not going. I beat up my eldest uncle. If I step foot in Sun Moon City, I’ll be skinned alive,” Kai said, shaking his head.
Seeing this, Lin Kefan quickly reassured him, “Don’t worry. I’ll protect you and speak well of you in front of the emperor.”
“My younger sister is under house arrest. She misses you deeply. Don’t you want to see her?”
“Fourth Uncle, you said it yourself—you’ll protect me, right?” Kai asked, pretending to be afraid.
“Of course! After all the good things you’ve given me, how could I not? And you’re my brother-in-law! No one in Sun Moon City would dare touch you!” Lin Kefan patted his chest and promised.
“Alright, I’ll go with you!” Kai nodded in agreement, seeing Lin Kefan confidently pat his chest in reassurance.
“Then let’s set off immediately!” Lin Kefan said, eager to depart now that Kai had agreed.
Just as they were about to leave, Mo Shaying suddenly grabbed Kai’s arm.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, I want to—”
“Mo Shaying, what are you doing? Are you planning to betray the Fourth Prince and follow Kai instead?” Hua Zhangweng interrupted loudly.
Lin Kefan’s expression darkened as he turned to Mo Shaying with a frown.
Although Kai was now considered the son-in-law of Sun Moon City, Mo Shaying was one of Lin Kefan’s closest followers. There was no way he could allow his own subordinate to switch allegiances so easily—it would be a huge loss of face.
“Old man, you’ve misunderstood me! How could I possibly betray the Fourth Prince?” Mo Shaying quickly clarified.
Then, turning to Kai with a serious expression, he said, “Fellow Daoist Chen, my father is a powerhouse at the peak of the ninth rank of the Mahayana Realm. His strength far surpasses mine. Do you think you could take him under your command?”
Kai: “????”
Hua Zhangweng: “……”
Lin Kefan: “……”
Mo Shaying continued earnestly, “I have no ulterior motives. I just want my father to follow you—he’d be willing to go through fire and water for you. All he asks for is some fairy stones.”
“Besides, once he has them, those fairy stones will eventually pass down to me anyway. So in the end, they’ll all be mine…” He chuckled awkwardly.
Kai immediately understood Mo Shaying’s intentions and smiled. “If your father is truly at the peak of the ninth rank of the Mahayana Realm, then he’s welcome to join. But first, let him bring 10,000 fairy stones as a show of sincerity.”
“Alright, alright! I’ll contact him right away!” Mo Shaying nodded excitedly and immediately used his jade slip to send a message to his father.
