"By the time Qing Qing found a helper and returned, the disciple was already dead. This made Qing Qing feel extremely guilty. It was not easy for us to get Qing Qing back on her feet. However, Zhuge Hong purposely brought up this matter and humiliated Qing Qing. He said that she ran away at the last minute and did not even care about her teammates. Qing Qing was forced to tears by him," Lin Yan said coldly.
Jian Wushuang glanced at Lin Qing Qing.
In his impression, the latter had always been a weak and pitiful girl, and now he did see a trace of tears in Lin Qingqing's eyes. In addition, there was still a strong sense of guilt and self-blame in the depths of her eyes.
"That's not all. For the sake of Qing Qing, the Lin Family didn't tell anyone about it. No one was there either. Logically speaking, no one should know about it. However, Zhuge Hong knew about it. Moreover, I heard that Zhuge Hong was in a camp nearby when the incident happened. So … if I'm not wrong, when Qing Qing and the others were in danger, it was probably Zhuge Hong who did it secretly!" As Lin Yan spoke, his killing intent surged.
"Brother Wushuang, although Qing Qing is not my biological sister, she is closer to me than a biological sister. I hate myself for being so useless and unable to help Qing Qing teach Zhuge Hong a lesson. Therefore, I can only beg you."
Jian Wushuang could not help but be moved.
"It is only a fight between the younger generation. No matter how they provoked each other, they are still young and hot-blooded. It is understandable. However, to publicly expose one's scars, humiliate one another, and even secretly take action, that is a little too much," Jian Wushuang muttered.
"Alright, I will go with you to take a look."
"That's great. He is in the drill ground of the Lin Mansion. Let's hurry over." Lin Yan was elated.
Soon, under Lin Yan's lead, Jian Wushuang arrived at the drill ground of the Lin Mansion.
At this moment, the drill ground of the Lin Mansion was filled with people. A large number of the younger generation disciples of the Lin Mansion, including many experts of the Lin Mansion, had gathered there.
In front of the experts of the Lin Mansion, an arrogant young man in a black robe stood there with a playful smile on his face. He looked at the people of the Lin Mansion in front of him with disdain.
Even though the Lin Mansion had many disciples and experts, they were nothing in Lin Fan's eyes.
Jian Wushuang could tell that the black-robed young man was Zhuge Hong.
However, Jian Wushuang wasn't paying attention to Zhuge Hong, but the grey-robed elder behind Zhuge Hong. The grey-robed elder squinted his eyes and his aura was extremely obscure. However, Jian Wushuang could tell at a glance that he was a genuine Chaotic Divine Demon.
In the Anjiu Prefecture, a Chaotic Divine Demon was definitely at the top of the pyramid.
"Although there is a Divine Demon Realm expert following Zhuge Hong personally, the old man did not seem to have the slightest intention of stopping him. Instead, he seemed to be doing it on purpose …" Jian Wushuang smiled faintly. "Flame Prince, if I am not wrong, Zhuge Hong did not come to your Lin Mansion purely to provoke you. He is also testing you."
"Test? What do you mean? "Lin Yan was puzzled.
"The Lin Family and the Zhuge Family have been fighting for a long time. Both sides have accumulated a deep hatred for each other. Both sides want to annihilate the other. However, it is a pity that neither side has the absolute power to crush the other. Now, the Zhuge Family wants to take action against your Lin Family. Therefore, they sent Zhuge Hong over. It seems like they are provoking you, but in reality, they are testing you," Jian Wushuang said.
"Even so, how is he going to test us?" Lin Yan was puzzled.
"He definitely won't be able to do it alone. However, did you notice the grey-robed elder behind him? The grey-robed elder is a Chaotic Divine Demon Realm expert. It is only because he is good at hiding his aura that he doesn't attract attention. Now that Zhuge Hong is so arrogant and despotic, if the younger generation of the Lin Mansion can't stop him, the only way is for the higher-ups to step in. However, once the higher-ups step in, the grey-robed elder will immediately take action. His ultimate goal is to force the Chaotic Divine Demon of your Lin Mansion to step in, "Jian Wushuang said.
"Chaotic Divine Demon Realm? That old man is a Chaotic Divine Demon? " Lin Yan's expression changed. "Oh no, my father fought with a Chaotic Divine Demon from another province more than ten years ago and suffered serious injuries. It seems like he has yet to fully recover. As for the other Chaotic Divine Demon of our Lin Mansion, he went out to explore many years ago and has yet to return. If the Zhuge Family wants to take action at this time …"
"That's right. The Zhuge Family definitely knows about your Lin Mansion's situation. They are here to test your father and see how much combat power your father has left. Or perhaps, they are here to test whether the Chaotic Divine Demon of your Lin Mansion has returned. Once the test results are out, the Zhuge Family will definitely take action," Jian Wushuang said.
He had lived for close to a hundred thousand years in his previous life and had experienced all kinds of storms. He could see through the Zhuge Family's scheme at a glance.
"No, I have to inform my father immediately," Lin Yan said.
"There's no need. Your father has already seen through the Zhuge Family's motive." Jian Wushuang smiled faintly. His soul power could sense that Lin Tiefeng and the three Half Step Divine Demons of the Lin Family were gathered together and hiding in the dark.
"Seems like the head of the Lin Family doesn't want to reveal his current combat power personally. Instead, he wants the three Half Step Divine Demons to block the grey-robed elder. But with just three Half Step Divine Demons, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything to the grey-robed elder," Jian Wushuang thought to himself.
Although the Divine Demon Realm and Half Step Divine Demon Realm were only half a step apart, the difference was huge.
Moreover, Jian Wushuang knew that the grey-robed elder wasn't an ordinary Chaotic Divine Demon. He was definitely not weak.
It was unrealistic for the three Half Step Divine Demons to fight against the grey-robed elder.
In the end, Lin Tiefeng would probably have to take action personally to defeat him.
But in that case, the grey-robed elder would be able to see clearly how much combat power Lin Tiefeng had left.
"Brother Wushuang, what should we do now?" Lin Yan asked.
"It's simple. I'll just take care of Zhuge Hong. As long as I can defeat Zhuge Hong, the grey-robed elder won't be able to find an excuse to attack. This test won't achieve their goal. But in that case, I'm afraid I'll be dragged into the battle between the two families," Jian Wushuang said.
"Brother Wushuang, this …" Lin Yan frowned.
"It's fine." Jian Wushuang waved his hand and smiled. "Your father and my father are sworn brothers. If the Lin Family is in trouble, my father won't just sit by and do nothing. I'll be dragged into it as well. Since the outcome will be the same, there's nothing to worry about. Let's go."
