Chapter 790: A Complete Change of Attitude
The Ultimate System · 第790章 态度大变啊
At this moment, the entire Han family was stunned. They weren't fools; they had witnessed everything that had just happened, and to them, it was utterly monstrous.
Controlling heaven and earth, making snow fall at will.
Plucking snow to create life.
To them, this was unheard of.
"Why is everyone silent? Didn't you want to see me? Now that I'm here, you have nothing to say."
As for the Han family, Lin Fan really didn't intend to do anything to them. After all, this family was chosen by his own disciple.
With his cultivation at the early stage of the Great Heaven rank, leaving the Han family would naturally be no problem, but Zhu You had chosen to stay willingly. One was willing to strike, the other to endure—there was nothing to say.
But now, regardless, Lin Fan had to win some face for his student; otherwise, the years of bullying would have been for nothing.
The Han family head's expression shifted between gloom and brightness, then he put on a smiling face. "Senior, it's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding."
The Han family head immediately stood up and hurriedly hovered around Lin Fan.
At the same time, the Han family head felt bitter inside: Zhu Di, with such a powerful teacher, why didn't you try to prove it before?
Even if it was hard for us to believe, if you had been a bit more earnest, we might have believed you.
Back then, the Han family head had been willing to marry his daughter to Zhu Di mainly because Zhu Di had a master.
His own daughter had once told him that Zhu Di's master was incredibly powerful—an existence of extraordinary strength.
So the Han family head had harbored a little scheme: if that were true, wouldn't his Han family gain a greater backing?
Moreover, his daughter's relationship with the other party had gone a bit far, so without turning back, the Han family head decided to marry off his daughter.
But as things progressed, the Han family head began to feel something was off. Where was Zhu Di's teacher? He hadn't even shown up on the wedding day. To the Han family head, that seemed unreliable.
In the end, he became furious and couldn't contain his anger, feeling he had been deceived.
If Zhu Di truly had a powerful teacher, how could the teacher not even attend his own disciple's wedding?
Thus, the more the Han family head thought about it, the angrier he got. He had lost both his daughter and his investment, so he never gave Zhu Di a kind look again.
"Oh? A misunderstanding?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, speaking meaningfully.
"Senior, it really is a misunderstanding. Although Zhu Di is my son-in-law, he is like a son to me. It was precisely because I valued Zhu Di that I married my daughter to him."
The Han family head explained, his heart pounding wildly.
He hadn't expected that what Zhu Di had said was true—he really did have a powerful teacher.
If he had known this earlier, even with ten times the courage, he wouldn't have dared to be so reckless. He would have treasured Zhu Di like a precious gem.
How could he have let him suffer so much?
"Married off?" Lin Fan frowned, feigning displeasure.
The Han family head froze, his face turning pale as he realized he had indeed said that.
"No, no, it's an honor, an honor."
At this moment, the members of the Han family all hung their heads. They had previously mocked Zhu Di, but now they were all silent.
At the same time, their hearts trembled. The Han family head had a daughter, so he might be safe, but if Zhu Di complained to his teacher about the suffering he had endured over the years, they might be in for a world of pain.
Han Lei watched her father being so frightened and found it both amusing and infuriating.
Why was her father like this?
"Ah, my good son-in-law, your father-in-law has a bad temper. I hope you won't take it to heart." The Han family head came to Zhu Di's side, patting the back of Zhu Di's hand earnestly.
"I only have this one daughter, so naturally I hope she hasn't married the wrong man. I've been strict with you, but it was all for your own good. It's just that my way of expressing it was a bit off. You won't blame me, will you?"
The Han family head seemed like a different person now—his tone and expression had instantly changed.
He became amiable and kind.
Zhu Di was momentarily taken aback by the Han family head's sudden change and felt a bit uncomfortable.
"I wouldn't dare." Regardless, the Han family head was still Zhu Di's father-in-law, so Zhu Di naturally preserved his dignity.
"Ah, I'm glad you don't blame me. After I'm gone, the Han family will be entrusted to you..."
...
Han Lei saw the look in her father's eyes and softened. She then looked at Zhu Di, who understood her gaze.
"Teacher, my father-in-law has treated Lei'er and me well. Let this matter rest."
Zhu Di knew his teacher's temperament—extremely protective. If he pressed on, the Han family would not fare well.
And he was only pleading for leniency.
"Since you've spoken, let it be." Lin Fan said.
This was Zhu Di's family matter. Whether the Han family head treated Zhu Di well or not, Lin Fan didn't care. With his presence, even if it wasn't good, it would become good—unless they were tired of living.
Hearing this, the Han family head couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Fan's two displays had completely stunned the Han family head. If he angered the other party, it would truly be a tragedy.
"Alright, Zhu Di, come with your master to find your other fellow disciples." Now that the matter was resolved, even if Zhu Di stayed in the Han family, he wouldn't face danger.
"Yes." Zhu Di said.
Then, Zhu Di exchanged a few words with Han Lei and followed Lin Fan away.
The moment Lin Fan left, the Han family head could no longer bear the immense pressure. He collapsed to the ground with a thud, panting heavily.
"I never expected Zhu Di's teacher to be so strong." The Han family head said thankfully.
"Father, I told you long ago that my husband's teacher was very strong. The reason he didn't appear for five years was that he ascended to the upper realm." Han Lei also felt a great weight lift from her heart.
"Ascended..."
Hearing this, the Han family head inwardly regretted. Why hadn't he believed it back then? If he had, none of this would have happened.
If he had built a good relationship with his son-in-law from the start, the outcome now would have been extraordinary.
But the Han family head figured it wasn't too late to build a good relationship now.
Han Lei was his daughter, and Zhu Di was his son-in-law—a bond that even thunder couldn't break.
"Good, from now on, we'll develop boldly. If we encounter trouble we can't solve, can my son-in-law just stand by? Even if my son-in-law can't solve it, can his teacher just ignore it?"
"Dad, don't overthink. Zhu Di's teacher doesn't like trouble, nor does he like evil deeds." Han Lei said.
"Daughter, how am I overthinking? Alright, enough said. I need to go spend time with my granddaughter."
Han Lei watched the scene before her. Although she knew it was all because of Zhu Di's teacher, she was still content.
...
"Zhu You, your teacher has to say, a grown man ending up like this is really something." In the cave heaven, Lin Fan said.
Zhu Di scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.
"Teacher, there was no helping it."
"Ah, alright. Go keep Tianjiao company. That kid has become withdrawn after the big change; we need to help him get over his heartache." Lin Fan said.
