Free Web NovelChapter 42: 42. Disciples from the sect.
The door slowly closed behind the departing trio.
Only then did Su Qingci’s composed expression crack and his jaw tightened.
The hand resting on the table unconsciously clenched into a fist.
Just as Lin Xuan had said...
The moment Huang Guangzhou’s name left the Patriarch’s mouth, he had every intention of killing him where he stood.
That name was simply too sensitive.
Su Qingci slowly closed his eyes before taking several deep breaths.
By the time he opened them again, his expression had returned to its usual calmness.
He had already made his decision.
Earlier, the waiter had quietly informed him of everything that had happened downstairs.
According to his report, the visitors had somehow learned the identity of one of their newest recruits.
"...Hong Shaoyun."
Su Qingci softly repeated the name and a moment later, he rang the small bell on the table.
Before long, a servant entered the room and respectfully bowed.
"Manager."
Su Qingci spoke without the slightest fluctuation in his voice.
"Go downstairs and tell number 34 to send out 888 to go and bring back the Lin patriach here."
Su Qingci’s paused briefly before adding another sentence.
"And make it clear that should she fails to bring them back before sunset both she and her sister will die."
The servant’s pupils shrank ever so slightly but she lowered her head even further.
"This subordinate understands."
Without another word, she turned around and hurried out of the room.
Meanwhile, after leaving the Blue Sea Restaurant, Lin Xuan was just about to lead the two girls elsewhere when a familiar figure walked out from the building.
It was none other than Lin Zhenghai.
The man was wrapped from head to toe in a black cloak, with his face completely hidden beneath the hood.
Even so, there was no chance Lin Xuan would mistake him for someone else.
After all, he was someone who had been a thorn in his side for years.
What is he doing here? Lin Xuan wondered.
Noticing where her father was looking, Lin Zhaoyue also turned her head.
The moment she saw the cloaked figure, her eyes lit up.
Perfect! This is exactly what I needed.
If she handled this well, perhaps she could redirect her father’s anger somewhere else.
She immediately sent him a voice transmission.
"Father, that old fox is here to meet with the Huang Family.
In a few days, one of our caravans will be ambushed.
Let’s secretly join the caravan and catch them in the act."
Lin Xuan’s expression immediately became serious.
The next caravan was transporting ingredients needed to refine Body Tempering Pills from Blue River City. freewёbnoνel.com
Did that old man really sell out the clan?
But why would he do such a thing?
What does he gain from working with the Huang Family?
Countless questions filled his mind.
Even so, he had no reason to doubt his daughter’s warning.
Still, Lin Xuan did not let the matter distract him from something else.
He calmly sent a voice transmission back.
"That information still doesn’t earn you forgiveness. You involved Zhaoxi in something she should never have been exposed to."
Lin Zhaoyue lowered her head without offering a reply.
She knew her father was right.
Beside them, Lin Zhaoxi looked back and forth between the father and daughter with complete confusion.
She had no idea what the two of them were silently talking about.
After all, she had not even begun cultivating.
Without spiritual senses, she had never felt the killing intent that had filled the room earlier.
Lin Zhaoxi gently tugged on Lin Xuan’s sleeve.
"Uncle... can we get something to eat?"
The moment she finished speaking, a soft rumble echoed from her stomach.
Her little face instantly turned bright red before quickly lowering her head in embarrassment.
Lin Zhaoyue could not help but giggle.
"Xiao Xi, you really are—"
Before she could finish teasing her friend, another rumble sounded.
This time... It came from her own stomach.
The smile on Lin Zhaoyue’s face froze.
And a brief silence followed.
Lin Xuan looked at the two girls before finally letting out a helpless laugh.
"Let’s go and grab something to eat, I’m starving." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The two girls exchanged embarrassed glances before quietly nodding together.
A short while later, the trio entered a small inn along the street.
Unlike the luxurious Blue Sea Restaurant, the little inn was simple and lively.
The aroma of freshly cooked food filled the air.
Lin Xuan ordered several dishes without hesitation.
Not long afterward, the food was served.
The three happily enjoyed their meal together.
By the time they finished eating, both little girls were rubbing their full stomachs with satisfied smiles.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhenghai having already warned the Huang family that Lin Xuan was responsible for Bong Haoran’s disappearance.
He had also shared his own conclusion.
In his opinion, Lin Xuan had likely already reached the Tenth Layer of the Golden Core Realm.
Although he had no proof, Lin Zhenghai believed it was better to overestimate the young Patriarch than underestimate him.
As for whether the Huang Family truly believed his warning...
He had his doubts.
Compared to his own cautious nature, the Huang Family was far more willing to take risks.
Even so, that no longer concerned him.
He had already delivered the information they wanted.
In return, he received a heavy pouch filled with spirit stones.
The reward was more than enough to begin a new life elsewhere.
His plan was simple.
He would return to the Lin Estate, quietly gather his family, and leave Azure Willow City before everything descended into chaos.
As Lin Zhenghai walked through the crowded marketplace, someone suddenly bumped into his shoulder.
His brows instantly furrowed.
"Watch where you’re going!"
Standing before him was a breathtakingly beautiful young woman.
She looked only a few years older than Lin Xuan.
The young woman was just about to apologize when the youth standing beside her stepped forward.
"What did you just say?"
Lin Zhenghai’s anger immediately flared, lately all this young people had forgotten any respect for their elders.
He was on the verge of lashing out when his eyes landed on the robes the two of them were wearing.
His pupils shrank.
The emblem embroidered upon their sleeves was unmistakable.
They were disciples of the Mystic Sky Sect.
Every trace of anger instantly disappeared from Lin Zhenghai’s face.
Without the slightest hesitation, he lowered his head and dropped to one knee.
"This old man have eyes but fail to recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive my disrespect."
His attitude changed so quickly that it was almost unbelievable.
