Chapter 1802: Chapter 1799: Avoiding the Edge
Seventh Elder saw Xu Wendong’s brow slightly furrowed and his eyes full of confusion. A trace of helplessness and pity flashed across her beautiful eyes. She sighed softly and said, "Child, you really shouldn’t have come back."
"The Lin family is now filled with undercurrents, fraught with danger at every step. Your return places you at the eye of the storm without a doubt."
Xu Wendong’s lips slightly curved into a faint wry smile, carrying a hint of determination and persistence: "Seventh Elder, I understand your good intentions."
"I really don’t have much attachment to the Lin family. I’ve long experienced the coldness and ruthlessness here."
"But after all, this is my home, where the memories of my childhood reside, those warm times spent with my parents are the most precious treasures deep in my heart."
He paused slightly, his eyes flickering with resolve: "Moreover, I have unfinished business and justice that must be reclaimed."
Xu Wendong was clear in his heart that family bonds with the Lin family had long been a luxury for him.
Yet his parents’ bloodline made it impossible for him to sever ties with this clan.
What’s more, he had secretly vowed to avenge Lin Mo, making Lin Feng pay dearly for his actions.
This hatred burned like a raging flame, never extinguishing in his heart.
Seventh Elder’s gaze became complicated instantly, her eyes filled with pity as she looked at the defiant youth before her, her voice carrying a hint of reluctance: "Child, do you know Lin Feng has been very close to that girl from the Huang family lately?"
"This is the reason he wants to take a brutal action against you!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong felt as if his chest was struck violently by a heavy hammer, a sharp pain surged suddenly, the agony like crashing waves, making it almost impossible for him to breathe, creating a sensation of suffocation.
In that instant.
A lovely figure vividly appeared in his mind.
It was a petite and delicate young woman, with skin whiter than snow, like the purest early snow of spring, soft and tender.
When she smiled, her eyes formed crescents, seemingly holding brilliant stars, a smile that could dispel all the gloom of the world.
Once, every gentle and melodious "Lin Mo brother" from her mouth brushed his heart like a spring breeze.
Reflecting on those years, the host’s father was a great heavenly pride of the Lin family, vibrant and spirited.
Huang Ying’s father, for the glory and future of the family, proactively made a betrothal pact with the Lin family, joyfully hoping both would unite in happy matrimony once grown up.
But who could have foreseen that fate would be so cruel and merciless, playing tricks on people like this.
Life is unpredictable, and the current situation has changed dramatically with time.
Xu Wendong has weathered many storms, possesses broad experience, and intelligence far exceeding ordinary people.
At this moment, he immediately discerned Lin Feng’s sinister intent.
It turns out Lin Feng planned to let his death nullify the marriage pact, allowing him to openly unite with Huang Ying, flying together.
Reflecting on this, Xu Wendong’s gaze instantly turned ice-cold and chilling, igniting even fiercer hatred!
Seventh Elder sensed Xu Wendong’s killing intent, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. She never thought that the previously timid, easily bullied person would have such a cold stare.
Even she felt a shiver down her spine, not daring to make eye contact with him.
Xu Wendong shifted the topic, concealing a trace of anticipation in his voice: "Seventh Elder, do you know the whereabouts of my parents?"
Having inhabited Lin Mo’s body during this time, he not only inherited Lin Mo’s hatred but also bore his deep-rooted obsession.
Lin Mo’s parents mysteriously vanished when he was only eight years old.
Since then, this mystery has been a heavy stone on Lin Mo’s heart and has pressed down heavily on Xu Wendong’s heart as well.
Over the years, no one has known where they went, or even whether they were alive or dead.
Seventh Elder heard this, her expression dimmed slightly, gently shook her head, eyes full of regret and helplessness: "I only know that your parents were executing a family mission and met with misfortune on the way, and never returned."
"Over the years, the family has been sending people to search, but has always found no trace of them!"
After a moment’s pause, Seventh Elder’s gaze was full of concern and worry, sincerely continuing: "Your urgent task right now is not to obsess over finding your parents’ whereabouts, but to focus wholeheartedly on cultivation, striving to improve your cultivation level."
"Only then can you accomplish the mysterious mission your parents couldn’t complete back then, and possibly find their whereabouts."
"But before that, there’s a particularly tricky matter you need to handle properly."
"You must resolve your emotional entanglement with that girl from the Huang family properly, it mustn’t drag on."
"Otherwise, with Lin Feng’s current fear and malice towards you, he’s highly likely to harm you again, putting you in dire danger."
Xu Wendong’s expression turned solemn as he nodded earnestly, a hint of helplessness and determination flashing on his face.
He fully understood that Lin Feng, as the Lin family’s pride among the young generation, with innate talent, had reached the terrifying peak cultivation level of the Soul Transformation Realm at a young age.
With his current ability, confronting him head-on is akin to hitting a stone with an egg, utterly with no chance of winning.
After careful consideration, he realized the best strategy right now was to avoid his edge, lying low and awaiting the right moment.
As long as he could let Lin Feng relax his vigilance against him temporarily, he could gain enough time to focus on cultivation and improve his strength.
Then, by that time, it wouldn’t be too late to settle accounts with Lin Feng, avenging Lin Mo and himself.
Thinking of this, Xu Wendong took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner tumult, though a faint trace of humiliation appeared on his face, he solemnly said: "Seventh Elder, I plan to visit the Huang family and take the initiative to annul the marriage pact previously made with Huang Ying."
When he uttered these words, his heart was filled with mixed emotions, and all the past moments spent with Huang Ying surged like tides into his mind, but he understood this was his only way out of the predicament for now.
Upon hearing this, Seventh Elder’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help but flash with a surprising glint of astonishment, she had indeed not expected Xu Wendong to resolutely propose annulment of the marriage.
In her understanding, Xu Wendong and Huang Ying were acquainted since childhood, deeply affectionate, and this marriage pact was naturally accepted and expected by others.
However, upon reflection, she had to admit that this indeed was the best choice for Xu Wendong to escape the predicament at hand.
At this moment.
Lin Feng walked over with a smirk, looking at Xu Wendong with a playful smile on his face: "The Huang family sent someone here, they have important matters for you!"
Xu Wendong slightly furrowed his eyebrows, pondering what important matters the Huang Family could have for him?
