It wasn't as if Lin Fan could have shut himself away like those inner sect and outer sect disciples.
It was different for Han Ba since he already spent quite a bit of time in closed door cultivation, so everyone was used to Han Ba not showing himself for long periods of time.
But it was different for Lin Fan who had quite a bit of contact with other disciples.
That included the core disciples that had threatened him before.
Even though they had threatened him, they were still loyal customers of his since they had already heard about his abilities.
Though they had stopped their orders once the tournament started since they didn't want to support Lin Fan during this time.
Lin Fan had expected them to start their orders again after the tournament since it wasn't as if they would keep doing the same thing as before. Even if he was creating a faction that was going against their factions, it wasn't as if they would avoid getting as much as they could from Lin Fan.
