Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lü Hongya, who had been observing Su Yun, quickly noticed Su Yun’s smile and asked curiously, “Hey, what are you laughing at?”
Su Yun did not answer this question. Instead, he looked at Lü Hongya and asked, “How dare you stand up at that time? Aren’t you afraid of being beaten
“I ” Lü Hongya clearly did not expect Su Yun to suddenly ask this question. She immediately sneered, raised her chin, and said disdainfully, “Martial arts practitioners are chivalrous. There’s no need to thank me.”
Su Yun was stunned. Seeing Lü Hongya’s matter-of-fact attitude, he knew that she was not lying. He could not help but be even more speechless. Was this such a stupid answer? “Still, if you encounter such a thing again in the future, you should be more careful.”
Lü Hongya waved her hand indifferently and said proudly, “You don’t have to worry. I’m powerful!”
Su Yun shook her head. “I’m afraid that the other party will be even more excited after you finish a set of punches.”
“Pfft, Su Yun!” Lü Hongya pretended to hit Su Yun, but Su Yun cooperated and dodged. The two of them mocked each other as they left.
After bidding farewell in front of the hotel elevator, Lü Hongya and Su Yun returned to their rooms. After opening the door, he first looked at the white monkey and realized that he was still sleeping soundly on the bed. He was still in the same posture as when he left.
This left Su Yun at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Why was he standing guard with such vigilance?
Coming to the window, Su Yun looked out vigilantly. After confirming that there were no potential threats, he quickly closed the curtains. Tomorrow was the martial arts seminar. Su Yun did not plan to stay in Lin’an City for long.
His identity was special, after all. The police in Lin’an City were probably all tense, afraid that something would happen. More importantly, Su Yun wanted to avoid too much contact with Lü Hongya.
Through today’s incident, he realized again that although Lü Hongya was a
little arrogant and chuunibyou, she was actually quite kind-hearted. He was very clear about his current situation. He reckoned that wherever he went,
countless pairs of eyes would be secretly watching him. Not only were there
police officers, but there were also killers hiding in the darkness.
Su Yun did not want to affect Lü Hongya’s normal life because of him. Therefore, he planned to return to Hibiscus City early after attending the martial arts seminar tomorrow. This was the only way he could not implicate Lü Hongya.
As for Lin Xiao and the others, Su Yun did not take them seriously at all. As the night deepened, the moon’s shadow scattered on the curtains, and Su Yun’s sleepiness grew stronger.
However, Lü Hongya, who was on the other side, was different. She kept tossing and turning in bed, her mind filled with what had happened in the park. Lü Hongya, who was standing behind Su Yun, seemed to see Su Yun’s wrist tremble.
Then, the street lamp went out and the car’s tire burst. What was the inevitable connection?
Lü Hongya could not figure it out. Instead, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. A bold thought appeared in Lü Hongya’s mind and lingered for a long time. Could it be that the scene displayed in Su Yun’s livestream was not a special effect?
This was very difficult to accept, but it could explain what had happened in the park very well. Therefore, Lü Hongya did not know what judgment to make. She suddenly felt that Su Yun was very mysterious, so she was filled with curiosity about him.
“Studying cultivation. What a strange person.”
She recalled that the first time they met in the library, Su Yun was still seriously studying ancient cultivation books.
At that time, she felt that he did not listen to her advice and wasted her grandfather’s kindness. However, after getting to know him a little better, Lü Hongya realized that Su Yun was actually quite interesting.
In a daze, Lu Hongya felt as if she had returned to the park again, or as if she had returned to Hibiscus University’s library. She was pulled behind Su Yun again.
That back view was very clear in the dream, but it also seemed a little distant.
“Lin Xiao, where did you go?”
On the other side, after returning to the hotel, Lin Xiao quickly learned that his father, Lin Guodong, had arrived.
As Lin Xiao had followed Shen Qiao here, he came a day earlier than Lin Guodong. However, after Lin Guodong arrived at the hotel, he did not find Lin Xiao. He knew that Lin Xiao must have gone somewhere to fool around again.
Therefore, not long after Lin Xiao returned to his room, he was quickly called to Lin Guodong’s suite.
After entering the suite, Lin Xiao was no longer as arrogant and despotic as before. He lowered his head and quickly arrived at the living room of the suite. He stood in front of Lin Guodong.
Lin Guodong was already in his fifties this year, but because he practiced martial arts all year round, he looked to be in his forties. Even though he was wearing loose clothes, it could not hide his muscular figure.
The most eye-catching thing was the aura emitted by Lin Guodong. It was like an ancient pine tree, as if it was unmoved by the wind and clouds.
“How many times have I told you? Don’t always embarrass me outside. As soon as I arrived in Lin’an City, the people who picked me up were all packed in the airport, but I didn’t see you. Do you still know that you have a father like me?”
Lin Guodong of the martial arts aristocratic family placed great importance on the inheritance of rules. Perhaps it was also because of this that Lin Xiao, who had been suppressed since he was young, acted differently outside. Naturally, he did not dare to say anything about what happened during the day, afraid that his father would lock him up at home again.
“Dad, I have something on, so…”
As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, Lin Guodong suddenly stood up. Just as he was about to scold Lin Xiao, he suddenly saw something and frowned.
“What happened to your neck?”
Lin Xiao quickly reached out to cover the wound, but it was already a little late. Lin Guodong quickly walked in front of Lin Xiao and pried his hand away with a little force. Although the wound was not deep, it made Lin Guodong feel very strange. “Tell me honestly, where did this wound come from?”
Under Lin Guodong’s powerful pressure, Lin Xiao had no choice but to make up a mix of truth and lies, but he did not dare to say that he had provoked a ruthless person. After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Lin Guodong pointed at Lin Xiao for a long time with a resentful gaze, but he could not say anything.
“I wonder how I gave birth to a son like you. Just to woo a girl, you ended up like this? Also, you’ve practiced martial arts since you were young. You rarely have any opponents among your peers. Who would actually leave a wound on your neck?”
“I… I don’t know either…’
“What? You don’t know?”
Lin Xiao’s reaction made Lin Guodong feel that something was wrong. He knew that although his son’s methods were a little wild outside, not everyone could deal with him in terms of ability.
“Yes, yes, that’s right. Perhaps I just happened to be scratched. It’s nothing. It’s just a little skin.”
“Are you sure?” Lin Guodong glared at Lin Xiao.
“What’s wrong, Dad? It’s just a little scratch. Really!”
Lin Guodong said in a low voice, “The location of this wound is clearly a threat from the other party. Moreover, the strength he controlled is very exquisite. A little more would be life-threatening, but a little less would be useless. This method of control was very exquisite. The other party should be using a dagger, right? This kung fu is amazing!”
Lin Xiao’s eyelids twitched, and he asked carefully, “Is it really… that powerful?”
Lin Guodong looked like he had a discerning eye and did not comment. “I’ve practiced martial arts for many years. How can I be wrong?”
Lin Xiao was even more glad in his heart. He felt like he had survived a calamity. In fact, the father and son were overthinking. This was completely coincidental. However, because of this, Lin Guodong was very curious. The way he looked at Lin Xiao became more oppressive.
Finally, Lin Xiao could not withstand the pressure. Recalling tonight’s scene, his expression began to become strange. He wanted to say something but hesitated..
