Xiao Yufan knew the Guo family might turn against him, but he never imagined they would actually dare to make a move. After all, it was barely an hour’s drive to the Lin residence…
“Master Guo, what exactly are you implying? Could it be that you’re inviting me to have tea at your place?”
If it were only Guo Junyu, Xiao Yufan was certain he could ensure the other wouldn’t leave alive. However, beside him stood an old man named Mo, whose presence exuded an immense threat.
“You seem to be in a good mood. However, not everyone can afford to drink tea at the Guo household!”
Guo Junyu’s lips twitched as he observed Xiao Yufan’s expression, feeling a sudden sense of pleasure. He loved the feeling of controlling someone else’s destiny. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan was already like meat on a chopping block.
“If it’s not tea you’re offering, then what is your purpose here, Master Guo? Are you so embarrassed that you want to resort to violence?”
A disdainful smile appeared on Xiao Yufan’s lips, while a flash of coldness flickered in his eyes. If he were alone, he might have a slight chance of escaping. But with Lin Jiayao by his side, there was absolutely no possibility of escape…
“Do you think the corners of the Guo household are so easily undermined? Even if they are, they might not be easy to defend!”
Regardless of how strong Xiao Yufan was, Guo Junyu was not worried about him escaping under Old Mo’s watch. What he wanted to do now was to humiliate this man as much as possible.
“That’s none of your concern, Master Guo. I can definitely protect my woman. If you don’t have anything else to say, I’m afraid I must take my leave!”
Such threats had little effect on Xiao Yufan, as he knew that since Guo Junyu had appeared here, he wouldn’t allow him to leave peacefully. Yet he was still gambling—hoping that someone from the Lin family would come to his aid or that the Guo family might have some reservations about killing him outright.
“Leave? You’re dreaming…”
As Xiao Yufan pretended to head toward his car, Old Mo’s figure appeared directly behind the two of them. The icy gaze sent chills down Xiao Yufan’s spine, for within that coldness lay a dense aura of murder.
“I know you’re trying to buy time, but do you really think I would give you that chance? Go ahead, Old Mo!”
Before Xiao Yufan could speak, Guo Junyu’s voice rang out again, this time lacking its earlier mockery and instead filled with a chilling tone. No one had ever dared to humiliate him, Guo Junyu, so this man had to die!
Xiao Yufan knew that the Guo family might pose a threat to him, but he never expected they would actually dare to take action. The Lin family was only an hour’s journey away…
“What does Young Master Guo mean by this? Are you inviting me to your Guo family for tea?”
If it were just Guo Junyu alone, Xiao Yufan could easily ensure he wouldn’t return. However, by his side stood an old man named Mo, from whom Xiao Yufan sensed an immense threat.
“You seem to be in good spirits, but the tea of the Guo family isn’t something just anyone can afford to drink!”
Guo Junyu’s lips twitched slightly as he looked at Xiao Yufan’s expression. He felt a surge of pleasure, relishing the feeling of controlling someone else’s fate. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan was already like meat on a chopping block.
“If you’re not inviting me for tea, then what brings you here, Young Master Guo? Could it be that you’re so enraged you’re ready to take action?”
With a faint, disdainful smile, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Yufan’s eyes. If he were alone, he might have a slim chance of escape, but with Lin Jiayao by his side, there was no possibility of fleeing…
“Do you think it’s so easy to dig into the Guo family’s foundation? Even if you did, you might not be able to hold onto it!”
No matter how strong Xiao Yufan was, Guo Junyu wasn’t worried he could escape from Mo. What he wanted now was to humiliate this man as much as possible.
“You needn’t worry about that, Young Master Guo. I’ll definitely protect my woman. If you have nothing else to say, I’ll be on my way.”
This threat didn’t faze Xiao Yufan much. He knew that since Guo Junyu had appeared here, he wouldn’t let him leave peacefully. But he was still gambling—betting that the Lin family would send someone, or that the Guo family might hesitate to go all out.
“Leave? You’re overthinking it…”
As Xiao Yufan made a move to get into the car, Mo suddenly appeared behind them. His icy gaze sent chills down Xiao Yufan’s spine, for within that coldness lay a thick, murderous intent.
“I know you’re trying to buy time, but do you think I’ll give you that chance? Mo, take action!”
Before Xiao Yufan could speak, Guo Junyu’s voice rang out again, but this time it was less mocking and more sinister. No one had ever dared to humiliate Guo Junyu, and this man had to die!
“Those who step into the Qi Condensation realm are all prodigies, but some are destined to fall. Blame yourself for being too arrogant!”
A faint smile appeared on Mo’s lips. What he enjoyed most was watching those self-proclaimed prodigies fall by his hand. It was a thrill he savored…
Under the immense pressure of Mo’s aura, Xiao Yufan felt as if his insides were churning, followed by a wave of dizziness. Lin Jiayao had already been pushed aside—it seemed even Guo Junyu wouldn’t dare harm someone from the Lin family.
Before Xiao Yufan could think further, a searing pain shot through him—his right arm had been dislocated by Mo.
In the face of such overwhelming strength, all resistance was futile. Xiao Yufan knew that even if he fought to the death, he couldn’t escape from this old man.
“What will it take for you to let me go?”
Xiao Yufan spoke coldly, now filled with regret. He hadn’t expected Guo Junyu to act so brazenly, and the old man’s strength was more than enough to crush him.
This old man’s power was at least at the Qi Condensation realm, and the gap between them was like an insurmountable chasm…
For the first time, Xiao Yufan chose to compromise—for the sake of survival.
He didn’t want to die. There were still many things he needed to do, and many people waiting for him to return. He couldn’t die here.
A cruel smile spread across Guo Junyu’s face as he said in a cold voice, “I might let you go, but only if you sever both your arms. If I’m in a good mood, I might spare your wretched life.”
Xiao Yufan’s face darkened. To his left was a sheer cliff dozens of meters high, and to his right was a bottomless abyss. Ahead and behind were winding roads. There was nowhere to escape. He cursed the Lin family’s location for being so damn remote.
“My grandfather is Situ Lingyu, known as the Silver Fox. I don’t think you’re aware of this, but if anything happens to me, you won’t fare well either.”
At this point, Xiao Yufan had no choice but to bring up his grandfather’s name. From the way the Lin family patriarch had reacted, his grandfather’s strength must be formidable. He was willing to do anything to survive…
“Situ Lingyu?”
Guo Junyu glanced suspiciously at Mo, only to see a look of shock on the old man’s face…
“Mo, what’s going on?” Guo Junyu asked, puzzled.
Mo’s expression darkened as he said, “Young Master, if what he says is true, then we can’t kill him.”
“Why not?” Guo Junyu was furious. He was determined to kill Xiao Yufan, and now Mo was telling him it couldn’t be done. How could he not be enraged?
“Because he’s Situ Lingyu’s grandson. If we kill him, that madman will come after the Guo family, and even we won’t be able to protect you, Young Master.”
Mo’s lips twitched violently. He finally understood why the old fox of the Lin family had suddenly changed his stance. Situ Lingyu’s grandson was indeed worth the Lin family abandoning their alliance with the Guo family.
Guo Junyu was stunned, his eyes turning red as he stared at Xiao Yufan. If he couldn’t kill this man, it would become his inner demon. How could he wash away this humiliation?
“What if I insist on killing him?”
Guo Junyu glared at Xiao Yufan. No matter who came, he was determined to leave this man here today. Those who provoked him had to pay the price.
“If you insist, Young Master, then we’ll kill him. Even if Situ Lingyu knows it was us, without solid evidence, he won’t come to confront us.”
Mo frowned slightly, then nodded. This was a remote area, and even if they killed Xiao Yufan, no one would know it was them. As for Lin Jiayao, he had ways to erase parts of her memory.
“Good. Then I’ll trouble you, Mo. I don’t want him to die quickly. I want to torture him to death. Break his limbs first, make him crawl on the ground and beg me…”
A twisted smile spread across Guo Junyu’s face. At this moment, his heart seemed to have warped. On the path of cultivation, if one harbored an inner demon, they wouldn’t go far. He needed to kill Xiao Yufan to rid himself of this demon…
A faint smile appeared on Old Mo’s lips. His favorite pastime was watching those who considered themselves prodigies fall in his hands—it gave him a sense of thrill, one he thoroughly enjoyed.
Faced with the immense pressure of Old Mo’s aura, Xiao Yufan felt as if his insides were being turned upside down, followed by a wave of dizziness. At the same time, Lin Jiayao was thrown aside. It seemed that even as bold as Guo Junyu was, he dared not harm someone from the hidden Lin family.
Before he could think further, a piercing pain shot through him. His right arm had been dislocated by Old Mo’s sheer force…
Before such overwhelming power, any resistance was futile. Xiao Yufan knew that even if he fought to the death, he had no chance of escaping this old man’s grasp.
“What will it take for you to let me go?”
Xiao Yufan said coldly. At this moment, he felt regret. He hadn’t expected Guo Junyu to act so recklessly, and the old man’s strength was more than enough to crush him completely.
Xiao Yufan knew the Guo family might pose a threat to him, but he never imagined they would actually dare to make a move. The Lin family’s residence was just an hour away from here…
“What does Young Master Guo mean by this? Are you inviting me to your Guo family for tea?”
If it were just Guo Junyu alone, Xiao Yufan was confident he could handle him without any trouble. However, the presence of the mysterious old man beside Guo Junyu made him feel a great sense of threat. There was something about this elder that exuded immense danger.
“You seem to be in high spirits. However, the tea from my Guo family isn’t something just anyone can afford to drink!”
Guo Junyu’s lips twitched slightly as he looked at Xiao Yufan’s expression. He felt a surge of pleasure—he loved the feeling of controlling someone else’s fate. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan was already like meat on a chopping block.
“If you’re not inviting me for tea, then what brings you here, Young Master Guo? Could it be that you’re so enraged you’re planning to take action?”
With a faint, disdainful smile on his lips, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Yufan’s eyes. If he were alone, he might have a slim chance of escaping, but with Lin Jiayao by his side, there was no possibility of getting away…
“Do you think it’s so easy to dig into the foundations of my Guo family? Even if you manage to dig, you might not be able to hold onto it!”
No matter how strong Xiao Yufan was, Guo Junyu wasn’t worried he could escape from the old man’s grasp. What he wanted now was to humiliate this man as much as possible.
“You don’t need to worry about that, Young Master Guo. I’ll definitely be able to protect my woman. If you have nothing else to say, I’ll be taking my leave now!”
Such threats didn’t faze Xiao Yufan much. He knew that since Guo Junyu had appeared here, he wouldn’t let him leave peacefully. But he was still gambling—betting that someone from the hidden Lin family would come, or that the Guo family might hesitate and not resort to lethal measures.
“Leave? You’re overthinking it…”
As Xiao Yufan made a move to get into the car, the old man’s figure suddenly appeared behind them. His icy gaze sent chills down Xiao Yufan’s spine, for within that coldness was a thick aura of killing intent.
“I know you’re trying to buy time, but do you really think I’ll give you that chance? Old Mo, take action!”
Before Xiao Yufan could speak, Guo Junyu’s voice rang out again. This time, there was less mockery and more menace in his tone. No one had ever dared to make Guo Junyu lose face, and for that, this man had to die!
“Those who have reached the Qi Condensation realm are all prodigies of their generation. However, some are destined to fall prematurely. Blame yourself for being too arrogant!”
A faint smile appeared on the old man’s lips. What he enjoyed most was watching those self-proclaimed prodigies fall at his hands. It gave him a sense of satisfaction, and he relished it…
Under the immense pressure of the old man’s aura, Xiao Yufan felt as if his insides were churning violently, followed by a wave of dizziness. By now, Lin Jiayao had been thrown aside. It seemed that even Guo Junyu, bold as he was, wouldn’t dare harm someone from the hidden Lin family.
Before Xiao Yufan could think further, a searing pain shot through him—his right arm had been dislocated by the old man…
In the face of such overwhelming strength, all resistance was futile. Xiao Yufan knew that even if he fought to the death, there was no way he could escape from this old man’s grasp.
“What will it take for you to let me go…”
Xiao Yufan spoke coldly, a hint of regret in his voice. He hadn’t expected Guo Junyu to act so brazenly, and the old man’s strength was undoubtedly enough to crush him.
The old man’s power was at least at the Qi Condensation realm, and the gap between them was like an insurmountable chasm…
For the first time, Xiao Yufan chose to compromise—for the sake of survival.
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to die. He still had many things to do and many people waiting for him to return. So, he couldn’t die.
A cruel smile spread across Guo Junyu’s face as he said in a cold voice, “Letting you go isn’t impossible. If you sever both your arms, perhaps I’ll be in a good enough mood to spare your wretched life!”
Xiao Yufan’s expression darkened to the extreme. To his left was a sheer cliff dozens of meters high, and to his right was a bottomless abyss. Ahead and behind were winding roads. There was nowhere to escape. He could only curse the hidden Lin family’s location for being so damn remote.
“My grandfather is Situ Lingyu, known as the Silver Fox. I don’t think you’re aware of this, but if anything happens to me, you won’t get off easily either!”
At this point, Xiao Yufan could only bring up his grandfather’s name. From the way Old Master Lin had reacted, his grandfather’s strength must be formidable. Right now, he just wanted to survive by any means necessary…
“Situ Lingyu?”
Guo Junyu glanced suspiciously at the old man, only to see a look of shock on the latter’s face…
“Old Mo, what’s going on?” Guo Junyu asked, puzzled.
The old man’s expression darkened as he said, “Young Master, if what he says is true, then we can’t kill him.”
“Why not!” Guo Junyu was furious. He was determined to kill Xiao Yufan, and now the old man was telling him that this man couldn’t be killed. How could he not be enraged?
“Because he’s Situ Lingyu’s grandson. If we kill him, that madman will surely come after the hidden Guo family, and even the Guo family won’t be able to protect you, Young Master.”
The old man’s lips twitched violently. He finally understood why the old fox of the Lin family had suddenly changed his stance. Situ Lingyu’s grandson was indeed worth the hidden Lin family abandoning their alliance with the hidden Guo family.
Guo Junyu was momentarily stunned, then his eyes turned red as he glared at Xiao Yufan. If he couldn’t kill this man, it would become a mental block for him. How could he wash away this humiliation?
“What if I insist on killing him!”
Guo Junyu stared at Xiao Yufan with deadly intent. Today, no matter who came, he would make sure this man stayed here forever. Those who provoked him had to pay the price.
“If the Young Master insists, then we’ll kill him. Even if Situ Lingyu knows it was us, without solid evidence, he won’t come to seek revenge.”
The old man frowned, then nodded. This place was remote enough that even if they killed Xiao Yufan, no one would know it was them. As for Lin Jiayao, he had ways to erase parts of her memory.
“Good, then I’ll trouble you, Old Mo. I don’t want him to die immediately. I want to torture him to death—break his limbs first, make him crawl on the ground and beg me…”
A twisted smile spread across Guo Junyu’s face. At this moment, his heart seemed to have warped. On the path of self-cultivation, if one developed a mental block, they wouldn’t go far. So, he needed to kill Xiao Yufan to eliminate this demon in his heart…
Therefore, for the first time, Xiao Yufan chose to compromise—to survive!
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to die. He still had many things left to do, and many people waiting for him to return. He couldn’t die.
A cruel smile appeared on Guo Junyu’s face as he coldly said, “Letting you go isn’t impossible, but only if you sever both of your arms. Perhaps, if I’m in a good mood, I might spare your dog’s life!”
Xiao Yufan’s face darkened. To his left was a cliff face over ten meters high, to his right a bottomless abyss, and winding roads extending in both the front and back directions. In other words, even if he wanted to escape, there was nowhere to go. It was all because the hidden Lin family’s location was just too damn remote.
“My grandfather is Situ Lingyu, known as the Silver Fox. I think you might not know yet. If anything happens to me, you won’t come out unscathed either!”
At this moment, Xiao Yufan could only invoke his grandfather’s name. From the old Lin patriarch’s reaction, his grandfather must be extremely powerful. All Xiao Yufan wanted now was to do whatever it took to survive…
“Situ Lingyu?”
Guo Junyu looked doubtfully at Old Mo, only to see the latter’s face filled with shock…
“Old Mo, what’s wrong?” Guo Junyu asked suspiciously.
Old Mo’s face darkened slightly as he said, “Master, if what he said is true, then he cannot be killed!”
“Why not!” Guo Junyu was furious. He had been determined to kill Xiao Yufan, and now Old Mo was telling him this man couldn’t be killed. How could he not be angry?
“Just because he is Situ Lingyu’s grandson. If we kill him, that madman will definitely come after the hidden Guo family, and even the Guo family won’t be able to protect you, Master!”
Old Mo’s lips twitched violently. He finally understood why the old fox from the Lin family had suddenly changed sides. Situ Lingyu’s grandson was indeed worth the hidden Lin family abandoning their alliance with the hidden Guo family.
Guo Junyu’s expression froze, and as he stared into Xiao Yufan’s eyes, they seemed to redden slightly. If he couldn’t kill this man, it would become his heart demon. How could he wash away such a humiliation!
“What if I insist on killing him anyway!”
Guo Junyu stared fiercely at Xiao Yufan. No matter who came today, even the emperor himself, he would ensure this man never left this place. Provoking him would come at a cost.
“If you insist, Master, then let’s kill him. Even if Situ Lingyu discovers it was us, without solid evidence, he won’t dare to come demanding answers!”
Old Mo furrowed his brows, then nodded. This place was also remote, and even if they killed Xiao Yufan, no one would know it was them. As for Lin Jiayao, he had ways to erase parts of her memory.
“Good, then I’ll trouble you, Old Mo. I don’t want him to die immediately. I want to torture him to death. Break his limbs first and make him crawl on the ground begging me…”
A hideous grin appeared on Guo Junyu’s face. At this moment, his heart seemed twisted. On the path of cultivation, if one developed a heart demon, one would never advance far. Therefore, he needed to kill Xiao Yufan to eliminate his heart demon…
