Chapter 51: Otherwise, I

This action immediately eased the atmosphere at the scene, and a beauty teased: "Fatty Liu, since you are so talented, arrange a way out for me too, how about it?"

Liu Zhiming immediately agreed: "Of course, no problem. Add me on WeChat, and I'll contact you in a day or two. We'll talk about the script; I guarantee to film it with movie-level effects." The beauty smiled and said: "That's a deal. Come, sister will have a drink with you."

Although he agreed on the surface, Liu Zhiming was pondering in his heart: Why was his cousin Lu Meizhen so respectful to Lin Yu? He vaguely felt that this college classmate Lin Yu might really not be simple.

After three rounds of drinks, Feng Yuanyuan began to talk about Lin Yu's past: "Lin Yu, this useless person, was married to Zhang Yuru for six years; he was practically like a nanny."

She continued: "On the day of the divorce, Lin Yu even said that whatever Zhang Yuru wanted, he could satisfy. I refuted him directly at the time; Lin Yu is just a liar who only knows how to brag."

Meanwhile, in the Qianjinqiu Courtyard, Hu Zhiping was sincerely asking Lin Yu for advice on some issues.

Lin Yu answered patiently while admiring the beautiful scenery of the Qing River in the night.

Finally, he said to Hu Zhiping: "Your physical condition is not as good as your older brother's, but it is not impossible to have children. You can come to Zhongcaotang to find me for detailed conditioning."

When Lin Yu returned to the Chunjiang Huayue Courtyard, he met Wang Haihong and Xing Chunhe.

What surprised him even more was that Lin Yifeng, who had already passed away, was also present.

Lin Yifeng looked at Lin Yu and revealed a strange smile: "Hello! We meet again."

Facing this sudden trio, alarm bells rang in Lin Yu's heart, and he responded cautiously.

Lin Yifeng's face was covered with corpse spots, revealing a hair-raising smile.

A strange fragrance drifted in the air, trying to cover up the undeniable stench of decay.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, stepped into the courtyard calmly, and stared coldly at Wang Haihong and Xing Chunhe. He mocked: "You are truly unique, actually dining with a corpse."

Hearing this, Xing Chunhe narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingers moving rapidly, and Lin Yifeng immediately stood up stiffly and retreated into the shadows of the courtyard. "Your eyesight is good; you actually recognized the human puppet I just refined."

Lin Yu did not panic but sat calmly by the stone table, "If you have something to say, just say it; I don't like beating around the bush."

"Since Master Lin is so straightforward, I will get straight to the point." Wang Haihong pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and shouted into the room: "Open the door and let Master Lin see our 'work'."

With a creak, the door opened, and a bloody figure was hanging from the beam.

Lin Yu glanced at it, not showing fear, but his heart was full of self-reproach because he knew Zhuo Feng had also been dragged into this.

Wang Haihong looked at the hanging Zhuo Feng and said with a smile: "We are looking for Master Lin to ask for a favor, and by the way, ask why you helped my older brother?"

Lin Yu looked at Zhuo Feng coldly, "Is this what you call sincerity? Release him, otherwise there is nothing to talk about."

At Xing Chunhe's command, Zhuo Feng was released.

Lin Yu quickly helped Zhuo Feng up to leave, but was stopped by Xing Chunhe at the courtyard gate: "Wait, don't you want to explain why you killed my junior brother? And how did you discover the secret that they swapped the bodies of the mother and daughter halfway?"

Just as Lin Yu's hand touched the doorknob, a centipede as thick as a thumb crawled past.

This was one of the deadly five poisons commonly used by Wugu masters.

Lin Yu turned around slowly, staring sharply at Xing Chunhe, and said word by word: "Do you want to know the truth?"

In the quiet courtyard, Lin Yu confessed: "It was I who ended your junior brother's life because he deserved it. As for how I discovered the bodies were swapped, it's actually very simple.

You just need to try to recall the spirit insect you placed in Wang Haisheng's body while at the grave. If the insect can return to your side, it proves the body is real; otherwise, it is fake."

Applause suddenly rang out, and Xing Chunhe clapped in praise, "Truly admirable; I never thought you were also proficient in such mysterious arts." But then his smile vanished, and he said gloomily: "Since you admitted it, can I now avenge my junior brother?"

As the words fell, countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants appeared all around.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and said coldly: "Are you planning to seek revenge on me?" Xing Chunhe replied: "It is not that I want to take revenge, but that my junior brother's soul wants to drag you into hell together."

He moved his left hand slightly, and Lin Yifeng rushed out from the shadows like a ghost, holding a bright knife and slashing at Lin Yu.

However, Lin Yu did not move, just shouted loudly: "Kneel."

In an instant, Lin Yifeng actually knelt on the ground just as he was about to touch Lin Yu.

Xing Chunhe stood up in astonishment, looking at Lin Yu in disbelief.

And Lin Yu smiled slightly, pushed open the door and said: "The human puppet corpse Gu dares not defy its superior." Having said that, he helped Zhuo Feng leave the courtyard.

Xing Chunhe, left in place, was both shocked and carried a trace of surprise, whispering to himself: "Using a living person as Gu, the beginner becomes the Gu Emperor, and the master becomes the Gu God."

Wang Haihong nodded solemnly, signaling the few people in the room to silently hide into the night, secretly following Lin Yu. "That kid Wang Haisheng actually didn't die; he must have already revealed the news to the Lin family's child. The key now is to pass this information to the Tongtian Pavilion."

After leaving the courtyard, Lin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to gently press on Zhuo Feng's back with both hands.

With a crisp "crack," Zhuo Feng's whole body trembled involuntarily.

Lin Yu stopped his movements, and Zhuo Feng was actually able to stand and walk on his own.

Although Zhuo Feng's appearance was still disheveled, his movement was no longer hindered. He moved his limbs, and although it pulled at his wounds, he seemed to feel no pain, a relaxed smile hanging on his face.

"Phew! I thought I wouldn't escape this time; I really didn't expect you to come." Zhuo Feng let out a long breath and said with a smile.

Facing his smile, Lin Yu's heart was full of guilt, "Sorry, I implicated you."

"It doesn't matter. Besides, I couldn't feel pain anyway; no matter how they hit me, I didn't frown, which pissed those guys off." Zhuo Feng said lightly, but these words made Lin Yu feel even more self-reproach.

As it turned out, Zhuo Feng's loss of pain sensation was related to Lin Yu.

Years ago, to save Elder Ma, a method was needed to block his pain nerves for surgery, because Elder Ma was immune to all anesthetic drugs.

During the attempt, a silver needle accidentally broke and remained in Zhuo Feng's brain, causing him to lose his sense of pain from then on.

Afterward, the Ma family compensated Zhuo Feng with five million as an apology.

"It's all my fault; if I had known it would be like this, I would never have taken action." Lin Yu was full of regret.

"Don't think like that; the Ma family even gave me five million, I think it's quite worth it."

Zhuo Feng teased, then looked around, found the employee dormitory of Qingjiang Fishing Village, went in to change clothes, washed his face, and came out, smiling at Lin Yu: "Fortunately, they didn't hit my face, otherwise I'd be disfigured."

The two walked out of the fishing village with their arms around each other's shoulders, only to find that it was too remote and they couldn't call a car on their phones. ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
