Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1330 - 1328: The True Clan Leader of the Heavenly Clan, Lin Fan!
Ling Haoyan looked arrogant, seeing Zhongli Kun and Zhongli Wuxi's faces turn pale, their expressions terrified, he pursed his lips and spat contemptuously in front of them.
Ignoring their astonished looks, he cheerfully followed Lin Fan.
Lin Fan couldn't be bothered to deal with such a lapdog.
Such a person is like a fence-sitter, swaying from side to side, whichever side can bring him benefits, he'll turn to without hesitation.
He could even forget the hatred of his father's murder.
In Ling Haoyan's eyes now, Lin Fan was his grandpa, his ancestor!
Compared to Lin Fan, his father Ling Wudeng was completely worthless.
As a father, what has Ling Wudeng given him? Nothing at all! Just disdain, contempt, scorn, and pressure.
As Ling Wudeng's son, he endured so many sneers and ridicule.
However.
Lin Fan was different, he directly gave him the position of Heavenly Clan Leader!
This was the Heavenly Clan Leader!
Something he didn't even dare dream of; such good fortune unexpectedly landed on him like a pie falling from the sky, right into his mouth.
So in his eyes, Lin Fan was far more friendly than his father Ling Wudeng.
Ling Haoyan followed closely behind Lin Fan, just like a lapdog, nodding and bowing, not daring to say much.
He knew this much: being a minion means behaving like one. If the boss doesn't speak, neither do you. Just follow quietly.
Lin Fan felt a tail following him, furrowing his brows.
He turned back!
Glared fiercely at Ling Haoyan.
Ling Haoyan was instantly frightened, retreating three steps, almost falling to the ground.
"Ances... Ancestor..."
"Why are you following me?" Lin Fan half-squinted his eyes, flashing coldly like a sword blade, deep and sharp.
"I... If I don't follow you... who do I follow?" Ling Haoyan said with a wretched face, his voice trembling.
Lin Fan frowned, rolling his eyes in irritation.
"You are now the Heavenly Clan Leader, what does it mean if you're always trailing me?"
"This... Well..." Ling Haoyan gulped. "Am I really the Heavenly Clan Leader now?" Even now, he couldn't believe it, feeling like he was in a dream, thinking everything was just his own illusion.
Lin Fan took a deep breath, obviously wearied by this question, his expression suddenly growing grim, overcast.
"I say you're the Heavenly Clan Leader, then you're the Heavenly Clan Leader. Who dares disagree?"
"Yes, yes, Ancestor, you're right, what you declare, who dares disagree... It's just that some people probably agree outwardly but surely not inwardly."
Ling Haoyan wasn't foolish; although timid and fearful, when granted power, he tried his utmost to use it to its full extent.
Besides.
Now that he held the power of the Heavenly Clan Leader in his hand, naturally many would be dissatisfied with him, so he must use his power to eliminate dissension.
However.
Lin Fan had long seen through his little schemes.
Lin Fan sneered, glancing at Ling Haoyan contemptuously, causing Ling Haoyan to shiver, his heart turning cold.
"Do you want me to help you eliminate dissent?"
"Ah... No... Not at all..."
"Then have these people threatened your life?"
"Well..."
"Just sat in the Heavenly Clan Leader's chair, already thinking about how to use the power. Ling Haoyan, you don't seem as foolish as I thought you were."
Whew!
Ling Haoyan broke into a cold sweat from fear, unable to control his trembling, gazing at Lin Fan in terror with widened eyes.
Lin Fan's message was clear, even though he had a smile on his face, it carried the most chilling warning.
With a thud, Ling Haoyan fell to his knees.
In front of everyone!
Ling Haoyan, who just became the Heavenly Clan Leader, actually knelt down to Lin Fan again, wearing a frightened and anxious expression.
"Ancestor... You've... misunderstood me... I... I don't dare... I..."
"Seems like you don't really want to be this Clan Leader."
"No... No... I..."
"If you don't want to be, there are many waiting to take your place."
Ling Haoyan was near tears from panic; surely his tenure as Clan Leader was too short-lived. Arrogant for less than an hour, soon stripped of status and power.
Thinking of his once spirited demeanor, now in such a wretched state, it felt like riding a roller coaster - full of ups and downs.
"Enough!"
With hands behind his back, Lin Fan suddenly shouted, startling Ling Haoyan to halt his sobbing.
"You are still considered the Heavenly Clan Leader for now, but I have the power to revoke your status anytime. Once you misuse this position and power for personal vendettas, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you're going to be the Clan Leader, do it properly; if you think of using such position and power for revenge, guess what I'll do to you?"
"Yes... Yes... I will definitely remember Ancestor's lesson... keep it in mind at all times... never forget!"
"Stand up."
Ling Haoyan quickly crawled up from the ground, shrinking his head, cautiously watching Lin Fan.
Everyone present was scared senseless.
Utterly mad.
The Heavenly Clan Leader, once a mighty and awe-inspiring title, a name that brought fear at the mere mention to others, a title revered from afar by the Sumeru Continent.
Yet now.
Shows utmost respect to a mere youth, following orders without dissent.
The more terrifying thing is.
Not a single Heavenly Clan citizen or army member opposed.
Which means.
Nominally, Ling Haoyan is the Heavenly Clan Leader, overseeing the clan's affairs both large and small.
In reality though.
Lin Fan can appoint Heavenly Clan Leader as he pleases, changing whoever he wishes, even if it's a dog, with no one raising objections. Ling Haoyan is just a puppet.
Thus.
Lin Fan is the true Heavenly Clan Leader in essence!
Of course.
Lin Fan doesn't care about titles, names, or status... He doesn't give any regard to these things, nor does he wish to possess them, as they are a real hassle.
Sitting in that position means having to consider numerous trivial matters.
He didn't want to handle these messy things, so he let Ling Haoyan take the Clan Leader role.
"What are you still standing around for?!" Lin Fan shouted, making Ling Haoyan jump in fright.
"Ah?" Ling Haoyan looked befuddled, not understanding.
"Hurry up and lead the way."
"Lead the way? To... Where?"
Lin Fan gestured behind, coldly saying: "Can't you see they're all injured? You wouldn't want to turn hostile and kick us out of the Heavenly Clan now, would you?"
"No... wouldn't dare..."
"Then hurry up and find some rooms for us to stay in!"
"Yes... I'll handle it right away..."
Ling Haoyan cheerfully agreed, quickly directing several subordinates toward the main hall.
