THE EXTREME ALCHEMIST OF THE MIGHTY CAULDRON

Chapter 778: Chapter 778: The Brute is Here with Fists

Fang Lin didn’t make another move. The elders of the North Town Hall rushed forward, their hearts jumping upon seeing Ling Changhe’s condition.

“Fang Lin! How dare you behave so recklessly?” The thin elder immediately pointed his nose at Fang Lin and scolded him.

Fang Lin narrowed his eyes, looked at the man, a faint smile on his lips. “Are you ill? He barged into my home, attempted to kill me, shouldn’t I have fought back? Should I have just stood there and let him kill me?”

The thin elder was enraged. Fang Lin dared to insult him by calling him sick. If it wasn’t for the crowd present, he would have killed Fang Lin with one palm.

“Elder Gong, calm your temper.” The other North Town Hall elders said to the thin elder.

Fang Lin snorted coldly, indifferently looking at Ling Changhe, who was half dead on the ground. He said, “This man has blatantly tried to assassinate a disciple inside the North Town Hall,

I would like to see how the North Town Hall will deal with him. Or will the North Town Hall help outsiders and turn against their own?”

This statement put a lot of pressure on the senior officials of the North Town Hall. Everyone knew that this issue was very tricky and not easy to handle.

“Save your breath.” An elder hinted at Fang Lin to stop talking.

Fang Lin didn’t say anything more. Although he wanted to defeat this guy who popped out of nowhere, he didn’t have the opportunity to make a move now.

After all, he was on the right side. If he really killed the man, no matter how just his actions were, it would be difficult to resolve the confrontation.

“Let’s go to the Hall Master. This issue needs his personal judgement.” An elder said, indicating that this issue was beyond their ability to handle and needed the personal intervention of the North Town Hall Master.

Immediately, everyone went to meet the North Town Hall Master.

Inside the hall, the Hall Master of the North Town Hall frowned, looking at the crowd below, her lips twitching: “What happened?”

Elder Gong immediately said, “Hall Master, Fang Lin injured Ling Changhe. This is a very serious issue. If we do not punish Fang Lin severely, I’m afraid we cannot justify things to the Ling Family.”

Fang Lin shot a glance at the old man. Bad guys always complain first, huh? But this trick was too clumsy.

Elder Miao was also present. When he saw Ling Changhe covered in blood, he was quite surprised. He glanced at Fang Lin questioningly. Fang Lin nodded calmly in response.

Seeing Fang Lin so calm, Elder Miao felt slightly relieved; however, he was still a bit worried. What kind of big trouble had this guy stirred up again, he really never settles down.

The Hall Master of the North Town Hall looked at Fang Lin, who appeared to be calm and even bore a faint smile on his face, which made her somewhat surprised.

Wasn’t he aware of the severity of this situation? Wounding a person from the Ling Family, whether right or wrong, was equivalent to causing trouble with the affluent Alchemy Tao family of the Ling’s.

Being in the Pill Alliance, and offending an Alchemy Tao family, particularly a prosperous family like the Ling’s, was not a wise move. If the Ling family made a move against Fang Lin, considering the strength of the Ling family in Pill Alliance, they could make Fang Lin’s life miserable even without killing him.

But looking at Fang Lin’s attitude, he did not seem concerned at all, which was very strange.

Was he ignorant of the formidable strength of the Ling family? Or was he really so confident that even if he offended the Ling family, he didn’t care?

“Fang Lin, why did you injure Ling Changhe?” The Hall Master of the North Town Hall asked. As a Hall Master, naturally she would not trust one-sided narratives. She also knew the Ling Family was tyrannical. Fang Lin wouldn’t attack Ling Changhe for no reason. Surely, there were unknown details.

Fang Lin politely bowed and replied, “In response to the Hall Master, while I was practicing in my room, Ling Changhe suddenly barged in and attacked me without any reason. He was trying to kill me. Naturally, I had to fight back, hence things turned out this way. I hope the Hall Master sees the truth.”

Upon hearing this, many people frowned and looked at Ling Changhe with dissatisfaction.

Being so bold in the North Town Hall, even if you are a member of the Ling Family, it’s too audacious, don’t you respect North Town Hall anymore?

The expression of the Hall Master of the North Town Hall slightly darkened, and she looked at Ling Changhe and asked: “Is what Fang Lin said true?”

Ling Changhe just snorted coldly: “I just went to ask him something, but he was disrespectful to me. Naturally, I wanted to teach him a lesson.”

Fang Lin chuckled: “Quite a lesson for disrespect. Who exactly smashed my door? Asking something doesn’t involve breaking and entering, does it?”

Ling Changhe’s face turned gloomy, his eyes full of resentment and anger. He didn’t expect things to turn out this way. He got beaten by Fang Lin and was still at fault in the end.

Seeing the situation, Elder Gong quickly said: “Hall Master, there must have been some kind of misunderstanding. In our North Town Hall, Fang Lin injured Ling Changhe and his son Ling Zhongtian. If the Ling Family gets furious, I’m afraid our North Town Hall won’t be able to handle it.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Miao immediately countered: “Elder Gong, are you an elder of North Town Hall or an elder of the Ling Family? Your words make it seem like you’re siding with the Ling Family. I’m surprised by your stance.”

Elder Gong’s face changed slightly: “Of course, I am an elder of the North Town Hall. Everything I say is for the North Town Hall. The Ling Family is powerful and not to be provoked. Ling’s father and son have been injured in our North Town Hall. By reason and by sentiment, we owe the Ling Family an explanation. It’s most important to suppress the anger of the Ling Family now.”

“Heh, for the good of North Town Hall, I wonder, what kind of explanation are you referring to?” Elder Miao asked coldly with a sneer.

Elder Gong’s face darkened, and he glanced at Fang Lin: “Whether it’s Ling Zhongtian or Ling Changhe’s injury, it all relates to Fang Lin. Turning him over to the Ling Family is the most suitable solution.”

“Precisely, this matter must be explained to our Ling Family.” At this time, the elder from the Ling Family also arrived at the hall, speaking loudly, clearly carrying menacing intent.

The Ling Family elder came closer, glanced at Ling Changhe, and saw that the injury wasn’t life-threatening, he felt relieved.

“Such a youngster. You act so brutally. How do your elders teach you?” The elder from the Ling Family glared angrily at Fang Lin, scolding him loudly.

Fang Lin casually cleaned his ears, his face appearing nonchalant: “My elders taught me that for friends, I have wine, but for animals, I have fists.”

Everyone was taken aback at his statement, except for the two people from the Ling family, whose faces turned ghastly.
