Chapter 14
That afternoon, comments about the Wang Family Village not having to pay taxes spread about all the villages .
When they heard it, no one believed it and felt like they were just rumors .
If one believed that an aristocratic family could nullify taxes, it would be like a pig climbing a tree .
To say that the people didn’t envy them was fake . Why didn’t they face such good things?
Some emotional ones wanted to go against the Liang Family and Yuan Family .
However, the other people suppressed such people .
Were they asking to die?
To resist the two aristocratic families’ violent tax systems would cause the entire village to be killed the very next day .
No one will plead for them .
However, after today, there were many people who remembered the Lin Family’s Young Master .
To them, he had done a good deed . Very quickly they started to thank him .
That night, the Liang Family was having a rich family feast .
As the third young master of the family, Liang Yongqi had a high position in the Liang Family .
However, he still had an elder brother and elder sister above him .
The elder sister was okay, as she would be married away sooner or later .
To him, his only threat was his elder brother Liang Yichu .
No matter it be looks, height, or martial path, his brother was much better than him .
However, even so, he was thinking about how he could become the heir and be in charge of the family .
The main head .
The Liang Family Head thought about the matter he heard in the afternoon . He placed down his chopsticks and looked around, “I got news in the afternoon that the Lin Family kid went to Wang Family Village and exempt them from taxes this year . He also said that in the future they would be taxed only 10 percent per year . If the Lin Family falls into his hands, they would be not far from collapsing . ”
The moment he said that, he felt like it was really interesting and drank on his own .
Liang Yongqi said, “Father, that kid is just trash, he is just waiting to die and is totally useless . He actually cares for those people . When the Lin Family falls in his hands, who would bother to pity him?”
“En, you are right . ” The Liang Family Head nodded his head and agreed .

To Liang Yongqi, the moment he thought about Lin Fan, the rage in his heart would boil up .
He had lost all his face in Drunk Fragrance Pavillion .
He wouldn’t let the matter slide just like that .
“Older Brother, do you think that brat is dumb?” Liang Yongqi smiled and asked .
Liang Yichu was really handsome; his sword brows shook a little as he said, “I don’t think he did something stupid . There is a drought this year, and the people have been greatly affected . Reducing taxes and even exempting them for this year isn’t stupid and helps give them a path for survival . ”
“Father, I think that we can reduce taxes to, to let them remember the kindness of the Liang Family . ”
Underneath the table, the two little misses of the family kicked him to make him be quiet .
“Hehe . ”Liang Yongqi smiled, “Brother, your words are wrong . How can we pity them? There are so many people waiting for us to help them . One or two silver and they would give up their lives for us . Ten would let them forget about their past . ”
Liang Yichu shook his head, “Third Brother, you can’t say that, no matter what they are all lives . ”
He looked towards his father .
“Father with the Lin Family leading, we also do not lack in taxes this year, so why shouldn’t we exempt them too?”
When he said that .
Pa ta!
The Liang Family Head smacked the table, causing chopsticks and bowls to scatter, “Nice, you are so benevolent, how can I hand the family to you like that? You need to learn from your Third Brother!”
“The Zuo City’s Su Family’s Seventh Little Miss has come to You City and is at the Yuan Family . Tomorrow little third will follow me, while you reflect at home!”
The moment he said that .
He left the table and walked to the back courtyard .
Liang Yongqi smiled and looked at his elder brother in glee, “Older Brother, it is useless to be kind . Just look at how the Lin Family will fall in that kid’s arms . ”
He seemed to have thought about something .
“I heard that when the Su Family Seventh Little Miss came to You City, she faced some issues . I have to make some arrangements . Elder Brother, Second Sister, enjoy your meal, I will take my leave . ”

At the table, the old and weak women were just eating with their heads down .
How could they speak regarding these matters?
“Older Brother, look at Third Brother, you are both brothers, would there be such a need to target him?” Second Sister was a little unhappy .
Liang Yichu shook his head, “Third Brother is still young and he will understand in the future . ”
At that moment, a maidservant walked over with a bowl of soup, “Young Master, Second Little Miss, this is the soup made by the chef, have a taste . ”
The Second Little Miss looked at the servant and smiled, “Yafei, you were the one that made it right? You just made extra for me right?”
After teasing her, she didn’t say anything else .
After all, this is a dining hall, and there were many people present .
If other people saw that, it would be a little problematic .
That night, the moon hung high in the air .
The Lin Family back courtyard was really quiet .
Lin Fan laid on his bed asleep . He breathed with a rhythm, causing the quiet back courtyard to have a different feel to it .
Zhi Zhi!
The window was pushed and gave out an ear piercing sound .
A person just stood there .
His face had a mask on and looked really horrifying .
He wore black colored assassin clothing and just stood there quietly .
If it were normal people with some cultivation, they would have woken up already .
However, Lin Fan was sleeping well and having a good dream .
How would he know about what was going on?
The black shirt man by the window wore a mask so one couldn’t see his appearance . However, if one took off the mask, they would see a frown .
The sound was so ear piercing .
How could he continue to sleep?
After standing there for a while, the black shirt man couldn’t take it and dropped his dagger into the room .
Kuang Lang .
“Who, who…”
Lin Fan was woken up .
When he looked towards the window, he noticed the guy jump in .
He was shocked .
His heart jumped .
Someone wanted to assassinate him?
He thought about it for a moment .
He didn’t offend anyone .
Just that Liang Family kid .
Would he be so shallow to kill him just like this?
“Who are you? This is the Lin Family and I am the Lin Family Young Master . If you do anything to me, my father won’t let you go . ”
“Save me!”
“There is an assassin!”
“Quick, save me!”
After Lin Fan said those nonsensical words, he started to shout .
“Rage +30 . ”
The black shirt man didn’t expect that .
He stepped forwards, his fingers clenched into a fist .
In this small and narrow room, there was nowhere for Lin Fan to run .
“You forced me, take my attacks!”
Lin Fan shouted .
He was anxious and could only try to see if he could defeat him .
His Physique rose to 24 and he shouldn’t be too weak .
He used his hand as a blade and struck at the assassin .
As long as he had a chance, he would step out of the door and flee .
In an instant, they clashed multiple times .
“Yi! ”
He could do it .
At that moment, he cheered himself on . He could beat this man and couldn’t act weak .
“A small assassin, with your skill you dare to find trouble with me . Didn’t your father tell you that without skills, you shouldn’t come over and assassinate others?” Lin Fan used his hand as a blade, once again slashing forwards .
“Rage +50 . ”
“Keke, you got angry . Come, I am not afraid of you!”
He was panicking like a dog earlier, but now he felt really relaxed .
He would take down this scum later .
Peng peng!
Noise spread in from the outside .
“Cousin, I am here! Hold on!” Zhou Zhongmao shouted and was really anxious .
Lin Fan and the assassin were on the same level, just as he said that .
Pa ta .
The assassin punched Lin Fan’s right eye .
After which, he jumped out of the window . Before he left, a book fell from his arms and then he disappeared into the darkness and was nowhere to be seen .
“My eye!”
“It is so painful!”
Lin Fan knelt down, and held his right eye as tears spurted out .
Wait and see .
One day you will be the one crying!
Kuang dang!
“Cousin, are you okay?” Zhou Zhongmao brought the guard and charged in, asking in panic .
“Something is definitely not okay! My eye has swelled up, how would I be fine?” Lin Fan covered his eye, he really suffered this time .
Zhou Zhongmao pointed at the guard, “Go, find that assassin!”
“Yes . ”

The Limits of Limitless
Author's Note: So, new author here, nice to meet you from this lovely one sided conversation lol. I was so tired of waiting for the perfect story for me so I decided to write a few of my own. These are basically just to make me happy, but if you enjoy them too that would make me happy as well lol. ______________________________________________________________________________________ So once upon a time, there was a convienent, and slightly cliche, plot device used by a somewhat lazy author.... Which in turn, created an easily made story of how a lucky high schooler posing as a hardcore gamer dies only to resurrect in a fantasy reality, meeting beautiful women, powerful dragons and ancient beings, an assortment of insanely escentric fellows, and a certain over powered ring. Journey with them as they explore the wilderness of twisted imagination. Or for you old timey folk who like their synopsis a bit tame, here you go: Jason, a senor in highschool, is slowly failing school due to not giving a fuck. Like many people now in the year 3056, he is obsessed with the wonderful invention most lovingly called, 'True Virtual Realities'. now by using his obsession with his favorite Virtual Reality game called 'Reality Controlled', which is the first and so called best Virtual Reality ever made. it was basically the all around escape humanity wished for, and he with heaven defying luck came across one of the three cheat items the game developers left for themselves: The Limitless Ring. The ring was a support type item and had the ability to grant wishes, store worlds, clone items, grant skills and easily learn abilities. But those are just a few of the things it could do. Using the ring he successfully became the "best player" and had a herd of fans following him everywhere. It was a dream come true. Until, he was killed from a power surge that fried his brain which was hooked up to the Nerve Capsule, an unsafe prototype of the Dive gear that he bought do to low funds. The end. Or so you would think.... ______________________________________________________________________________________ Author's Note: I was, to be honest, wanting to do a collab, because to me it is sooooooo incredibly boring to write by yourself since you always know what happens next, however no one enjoys a bit of friendly cooperation *sigh* so I'm forced to journey these roads alone.... 'Tis but a sad fate tha' 'is here young'un has t' bear. The cover isn't mine, all rights and stuff goes to its artist and such.

Tales of the Legendary Scholar
They meet in the most unlikely moment and turned their life around. Freidrech newly arrived in his own nation's capital city, which is so foreign to him compared to his village's idyllic and nondiscriminatory atmosphere, after he is forced to come. Now, he is facing a royal prince and tells him to bow. This draws out one of his late father's teachings from the deepest recesses in his mind. "The blood of your great ancestors runs in your veins. Don't easily bow down to anyone, or accept suppression by any being, not even from a monarch, unless you pledge your allegiance to him. Also, giving in to oppression is directly telling the oppressor that you're easy prey and open for manipulation." He is uncertain on how to face this oppression right now. Will he bows or not? What will he do to uphold his father's words while keeping his life safe? As for the prince, Theodrech has nothing to do with Freidrech, so he wishes to let this slip, but the boy opens his mouth and proposes the most ludicrous challenge he ever heard and triggers his curiosity. "I, Freidrech Goederf Gerboud, son of the late Village Chief Louvel Gerboud of Wrilon, will challenge you, Your Highness, to a battle of riddles… If you win, I will not only bow but be your servant for the rest of my life." This amuses the prince. It is the first he met a boy of the same age who is not intimidated by the air of authority he projects. Rather, this boy challenges him. "Why are you so headstrong? In fact, bowing to me is an honor. You saw the King's noble Knights. When they saw me, they bowed," says Theodrech, testing Freidrech. "Allow me to be forward, Your Highness. For me, bowing to a monarch does not guarantee loyalty. If I were you, I rather have men who stand straight in my presence but who got my back, than bowing men who are dreaming of my death," replies Freidrech. The prince’s curiosity increases. A huge smile is seen on his face. Prince Theodrech decides to take Freidrech under his wing. Little did they know, this boy who Prince Theodrech takes in as his confidant and friend in the most ridiculous fashion is someone indispensable in his life and the one who can help him succeed the throne when he almost believes he has lost. Thus, the Tales of the Legendary Scholar begins. ------ o ------ Old Synopsis: A famous ancient adage stated, behind a successful man is a woman BUT… In these lands, the monarchs are seeking not a woman to stand behind them but the man hailed as the Legendary Scholar.

Also, with the assistance of two ousted beings: a former aka 'great wizard', and a burly fairy. Follow Freidrech’s adventures, on how he wins the heart of the future king of Xaeviel, befriends outlaws, prevents the people from being slaughtered from an unknown plague, rerouting the enemies’ attacks when reinforcements are denied, secures Prince Theodrech’s claim to the throne in the midst of utter despair, and many more.

The Epiphany Colony
Brad Asher has been a private detective on the Epiphany Colony orbiting Mars for about a year before stumbling into a conspiracy that threatens the safety and stability of the colony. Note that the story here is the first draft and has a lot of ideas, characters, and plotlines that I ended up dropping in the final version that I released here currently available on Kindle Unlimited. The entire second half was restructured, as I ended up not being satisfied with some of the things that I introduced and felt like it had strayed too far from my initial vision of a space-based detective noir story.

The Pharaoh's Dancer
"Do you know what to do, Amunet?" A voice as sweet as silk whispered into the young girl's ear. Amunet didn't look over her shoulder, but shifted uncomfortably on her bare feet before nodding her head. A soft hand touched her back and urged her forward. All eyes turned towards the girl dressed in transparent linen with her dark hair tumbling down her back and her violet eyes lined by kohl. Every movement caused the jewels on her wrists and ankles to dangle and shimmer in the light.She raised her head and found the Pharaoh's transfixed stare. His jade eyes narrowed in on hers and the room became still and silent. Amunet bowed and, at the pluck of a harp string, began to dance.---cover by @AddietayDoes contain reference to some mature themes that may not be suited for a younger audience.
