Chapter 96: Turns out My Sister Is a Master

Lin Meng pursed her lips, grabbed her cousin, and was about to leave.

There's nothing to say to someone with eyes growing on top of their head.

"Wait!" Su Xingyao stomped her foot, and the two bodyguards beside her immediately blocked Lin Meng's path.

Su Xingyao glanced sideways at Lin Meng, slowly spitting out a few arrogant words.

"I am a member of the Jing Shi Su Family."

After speaking, Su Xingyao slightly raised her chin, waiting for Lin Meng's reaction.

Lin Meng and Xu Yixiao looked at each other, both utterly bewildered.

"Sis, do you know the Jing Shi Su Family?"

Lin Meng shook her head. "There are so many Su families in Jing Shi; how would I know which Su she belongs to?"

Actually Lin Meng knew; from Su Xingyao's reaction she could tell that the Jing Shi Su Family was undoubtedly influential—just announcing their surname was like a living signboard.

But what did that have to do with her? No matter if it was the Jing Shi Su, Zhang, or Li families—she could even call off the marriage of Jing Shi's top noble family, the Ye Family; a mere Su Family was nothing she'd bother with.

Who would have thought that upon hearing Lin Meng's words, Su Xingyao wouldn't get angry but instead broke into a puzzling smile.

Turns out she's just a nobody—she doesn't even know the Su Family—definitely not from a prominent clan.

A worthless lowlife dares to get so close to Jingye?

Su Xingyao's gaze toward Lin Meng shifted instantly from contempt and hostility to a flash of murderous intent.

"Get her, teach her a lesson!"

The next second, Su Xingyao ordered the bodyguards beside her to attack Lin Meng.

In broad daylight, Xu Yixiao never imagined that this crazy woman would dare to commit violence inside the Stone Gambling Arena.

Seeing the several burly bodyguards charging at Lin Meng, their faces fierce, they showed no mercy.

Xu Yixiao gritted his teeth and immediately rushed forward.

"Don't hurt my sister!"

Seeing the fist as big as a sandbag about to come down, mighty and aimed straight at the face, Xu Yixiao trembled with rage.

At the critical moment, Lin Meng mobilized her mental power and unexpectedly discovered that while these burly men were initially intimidating, once she activated her mental power, their movements appeared to her like slow motion.

What had been a whistling punch coming at her now looked like a flowery fist and embroidered kicks.

Lin Meng's eyes lit up; she reached out to quickly pull her cousin aside, and at the same time sidestepped, easily escaping the combined attack range of the several bodyguards.

The several bodyguards lunged at empty air, obviously not reacting in time, and stood frozen in place for a moment.

Su Xingyao was just waiting for her bodyguards to give Lin Meng a sound beating—bruising her nose and face, making her eyes and mouth crooked—so she'd still look that pretty.

But she hadn't expected that a few good-for-nothings couldn't even beat Lin Meng.

"What are you eating? I pay you this much salary every year, and this is how you work for me?"

Su Xingyao stomped her feet in anger.

The several bodyguards exchanged glances, feeling their jobs were at risk, and instantly each turned vicious and lunged at Lin Meng.

"Cousin, take care of yourself; they can't hurt me."

Having said that, without waiting for Xu Yixiao's response, Lin Meng gently pushed him a bit away and then went to meet those bodyguards herself.

She didn't know martial arts; with the aid of the Opening Aperture Pill and mental power, it merely heightened her senses beyond ordinary people's, but it didn't directly turn her into a fighter.

However, being able to dodge attacks was enough; in the Stone Gambling Arena, fighting is surely prohibited.

As long as she doesn't strike back, she will always be in the right.

The next second, several bodyguards had already rushed to her face and launched punches and kicks at Lin Meng.

As long as they had enough numbers, with each throwing two legs and two fists, even if they flailed wildly without pattern, some punch would inevitably land on Lin Meng.

If they could kick her in the stomach and cripple her, that would also be satisfying.

Su Xingyao thought this, and a hint of madness slowly surfaced in the depths of her eyes.

Lin Meng remained calm and composed, not the slightest bit flustered.

She released her mental power, effortlessly drifting and weaving between the various punches and sweeping kicks.

To outsiders, her movement trajectory seemed extremely strange—appearing unhurried yet each time she managed to dodge the attacks just in time.

Xu Yixiao had originally been worried about Lin Meng's safety, even pulling out his phone to call the police, but seeing his cousin handle everything with ease, effortlessly evading all attacks, left him dumbfounded.

"Turns out my sister is still a martial artist, a real expert."

The onlookers witnessing this also gasped in amazement.

"This beauty isn't just pretty; her movement is so awesome, her footwork so relaxed and effortless—it's a shame she's not a martial arts film star."

"It looks like a few big guys bullying a weak woman, but actually the beauty is just walking her dog."

"Hahaha……"

The bodyguards grew more shocked the more they fought; they were clearly exerting themselves in punches and kicks, yet never managed to hit her once.

At that moment they finally realized: the delicate-looking beauty before them, who seemed easy to bully, was actually a hidden master!

Su Xingyao couldn't grasp the secret; she only knew her hired bodyguards were all useless, unable to land a hit on a woman, which made her furious as she started directing them from the sidelines.

The spectators watching the commotion then realized that it was actually the woman standing nearby who was ordering her subordinates to bully others.

After dodging several attacks, Lin Meng felt a bit bored, so she pressed the blue sapphire ring on her hand and unleashed the nano needle at the bodyguards.

The next second, the bodyguards who had been swinging their fists with effort each let out a cry and then collapsed in pain.

Lin Meng stood up straight as if nothing had happened, her gaze fixed firmly on Su Xingyao.

Su Xingyao couldn't react at all.

"Hey! You bunch of good-for-nothings—are you putting on a show for me?"

She still thought those bodyguards were refraining from striking because they found Lin Meng attractive, putting on an act for her, completely unaware that Lin Meng hid a secret technique.

Only when Lin Meng stepped closer, step by step, with an overpowering aura, did Su Xingyao find herself unable to help feeling afraid.

"What are you going to do? I warn you, I'm the pearl in the palm of the Su family—if you dare touch a single finger of mine, the Su family will never let you off!"

Lin Meng pursed her lips.

"You're the family's treasure—who isn't a little treasure these days?"

"Keep talking nonsense, or I'll have my grandfather come up and personally deal with you!"

Lin Meng secretly smirked, unable to keep from curling the corners of her mouth.

"Miss Su, I believe I've never offended you; please don't provoke me again, otherwise this time your bodyguards will be your undoing!"

Lin Meng hurried away with Xu Yixiao, seeing that many people had already taken out their phones to photos and video; it would be better to stay low-key.

After leaving the Stone Gambling venue, Xu Yixiao's gaze stayed glued to Lin Meng without shifting; he had basically become her little fanboy.

"Cousin, you were just amazing—did you study martial arts? Do you think I have talent? I also want to learn kung fu; I've had a martial arts dream since I was little!"

Lin Meng: "……"

"I'm just quick-eyed and quick-handed; I haven't learned martial arts yet, but I don't rule out picking up some self-defense later—if you're interested, I'll teach you when the chance comes."

Once Ye Fan leaves seclusion, she needs to quickly ask him for a few basic cultivation manuals and martial arts secret texts; cultivation matters need to be put on the agenda ASAP.

Otherwise, dealing with these annoying stray cats and dogs by just dodging without fighting would be no fun.
