Chapter 36: Family Scandals Should Not Be Publicized

"That is a Gu insect. Everyone, don't worry, the sorcery Jianfei was hit with is not fatal."

The speaker was an old man named Long Wanshun, who had served as an official in the south when he was young and had heard of witchcraft and Gu techniques.

At this moment, he realized that Lin Yu might not be the incompetent person Long Yiqing described.

Long Wanshun carefully walked forward and bowed to Lin Yu in thanks: "Thank you, Master Lin, for your help. May I ask which sect you are from?"

Lin Yu did not answer but cast his gaze toward Long Qinglan, who was lying on the ground, struggling in pain while clutching her injured leg.

"Fifth Grandfather, don't believe his lies, he is a liar, he killed my father," she said, full of fear.

Lin Yu responded calmly: "As for the truth, why not let the person involved say it himself?"

Everyone was surprised to find that Long Jianfei, who was thought to be dead, actually began to move.

As Lin Yu pulled a silver needle from him, Long Jianfei's voice gradually recovered, saying intermittently: "You... don't want others to know that it was you who colluded with outsiders to harm me... right."

Seeing Long Jianfei's condition improve significantly, Long Qinglan became even more flustered. She screamed at Lin Yu: "It's all because of you, if it weren't for you, none of this would have happened."

As more silver needles were pulled out, Long Jianfei's strength gradually recovered, revealing a shocking secret: "I want to tell everyone, Long Qinglan is not of the Long family's bloodline, she is the child of Yan Yalan and an outsider."

Each time a silver needle was pulled out, it was accompanied by the improvement of Long Jianfei's condition.

Until the last silver needle was removed, he could barely stand up. Although his eyes still revealed confusion, he could already speak normally.

This news was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar in the Long family.

Long Jianfei's father, Long Wanjun, could barely stand upon hearing this, angrily questioning: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Everything I said is the truth," Long Jianfei pointed firmly at Long Qinglan. "She is the child Yan Yalan had with a wild man, and Yuyuan... he is the son of Yalan and Uncle Zhiping."

Facing such a heavy accusation, Long Qinglan wanted to use tears to win sympathy, but her final struggle seemed weak and pale.

In the end, she was controlled by the clansmen and could no longer deny the facts before her.

Lin Yu acted quickly, pointing a silver needle at the top of Long Jianfei's head.

Instantly, Long Jianfei's spirit lifted, his eyes regained clarity, and he firmly announced:

"Every word I said is true, and her biological father is right here in the crowd."

Just as Long Jianfei's voice fell, he shouted toward a corner of the square: "Are you not going to show yourself yet?"

What followed was a burst of eerie laughter echoing in the air, and then everyone began to collapse to the ground one after another.

Some complained of fatigue, some even fell directly into a deep sleep.

Long Wanshun sensed something was wrong, realizing this was a Gu insect attack, but before he could warn everyone, he also fell down.

Long Yiqing wanted to resist but fell to the ground powerlessly.

Soon, only a few people remained standing in the square: Lin Yu, Long Jianfei, Long Qinglan, and a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. The man walked slowly to Long Qinglan's side and said with apology:

"I'm sorry, I let you suffer, it's Dad's fault."

However, Long Qinglan backed away in fear, unwilling to acknowledge this man as her father. She was afraid of losing the status and privileges the Long family brought her, and even less did she want to be labeled an illegitimate daughter.

Thus, she screamed in despair: "Go away, I don't know you, don't touch me."

The middle-aged man, Lin Yifeng, looked at his daughter rejecting him in pain, then turned to Long Jianfei to introduce himself, accusing him of being the culprit behind all this.

"You took away my lover and child, making me what I am today. For this moment, I have waited and endured for more than twenty years. Today, I want to make all of you pay the price."

Lin Yifeng laughed wildly, swarms of small insects pouring out of his sleeves, quickly covering the ground and spreading in all directions. At this moment, the entire Long family fell into a deathly silence, only a few people in the square remained conscious.

Lin Yifeng continued to shout crazily, threatening that everyone present could not escape.

He walked toward Long Qinglan, wanting to touch her face. Long Qinglan was terrified, desperately shouting for him to leave her.

Lin Yifeng spread his palms lightly, and a small pale golden insect flew out, nimbly drilling into Long Qinglan's nostril. A moment later, Long Qinglan's body suddenly relaxed, and she fell powerlessly into Lin Yifeng's arms.

Lin Yifeng held Long Qinglan, turned his head to cast a gaze with an arrogant smile at Lin Yu, and said:

"You were actually able to save Long Jianfei, which truly exceeded my expectations. But let's stop here for today, consider it a greeting gift for you. Remember, I will return, and by then, no one in the Long family will be spared."

After speaking, he quickly ran to a car in the distance and drove away, leaving the Long family square in a mess.

Lin Yu did not chase, just watching the car go away, appearing neither nervous nor angry, instead lazily yawning.

And Long Jianfei had already noticed that those small insects seemed not to dare to approach within three meters of Lin Yu.

Lin Yu waved his arm and sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder, which spread with the wind. The air was filled with the smell of sulfur. The Gu insects fell one after another under the effect of the powder, and even those that had invaded the human body crawled out, struggling a few times before stopping.

However, at this time, more than two hundred people in the Long family were unconscious due to the Gu insects. Long Jianfei anxiously asked for Lin Yu's help: "Divine Doctor Lin, may I ask if you can save them?"

"They are infected with sleepy bugs, and sulfur powder is their nemesis," Lin Yu replied briefly, then took out two small bags of sulfur powder and handed them to Long Jianfei. "This is all I have on hand, handle the rest yourself. Don't forget, the medical fees for this time must be paid on time."

Long Jianfei was stunned for a moment, then was endlessly grateful, watching Lin Yu leave the manor. With the help of the sulfur powder, everyone gradually woke up.

Long Jianfei immediately arranged for more sulfur powder to be sent, and everyone began to spread it widely throughout the manor.

Two hours later, in the study, Long Jianfei was reporting the situation to Long Wanshun, who had just woken up.

"That's how it is, I only know now that neither my daughter nor my son are my biological children..."

"I already know," Long Wanshun interrupted. "Since Qinglan is not a member of our Long family, then sever the relationship as soon as possible. As for Yuyuan, he is your..."

Long Jianfei remained silent, understanding that family scandals should not be publicized and must be viewed from the big picture. But he insisted: "I can accept it, but I must divorce Yan Yalan."

Mentioning Yan Yalan, Long Wanshun nodded in agreement: "You can, the clan elders will approve it, and they will give you some assets as compensation. After the divorce, you can find another partner; after all, you are not yet fifty and still have time to have children." ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
