Chapter 413: Visitors from the Chen Family

After the three Vampire Dukes were all lost on the small island, Huaxia was once again listed by those in the Dark World as the most dangerous place. After all, those were three vampires who had reached the realm of Half-step Prince; at the very least, the vampire lineage within the Dark Council had suffered a massive blow, and their say within the Dark Council had diminished significantly.

Huaxia University, in a small pavilion.

"During this period, those people lurking in the shadows seem to have quieted down quite a bit!" Su Wanyue said, holding a book, sitting on a stone chair, and smiling at the person in front of her.

Lingyun leaned against a stone pillar and shook his head faintly: "After witnessing our strength, if they were still acting frequently, I would really have to question their intelligence."

"But those people will definitely not give up just like that, right?" Su Wanyue said leisurely, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.

"They might give up on hard-line methods, but all sorts of soft methods will definitely come one after another," Lingyun said, spreading his hands. "Take Ye Xi, for example; the number of people who have been handing her love letters and expressing their admiration through various means during this time has directly doubled, and they are all relatively famous members of the younger generation."

"Hee hee hee, then Ye Xi must be very annoyed during this time!" Su Wanyue chuckled and said.

"With her temperament, she would absolutely not let those who make her feel unhappy have a good time. As far as I know, there isn't a single person who has been able to hand her a love letter!" A trace of an inexplicable smile appeared in Lingyun's eyes. "Ye Xi is now getting closer and closer to that threshold of breaking through. As long as she releases even a little bit of her aura, how many of those so-called young talents can even walk to her side!"

"Yes, Ye Xi is already very close to that threshold, while we are still a long way from that threshold!" Su Wanyue said with some helplessness.

"Senior Sister Wanyue, Senior Sister Wanyue, something happened!" Just as Lingyun wanted to say something, a female student ran toward their direction, shouting with an anxious face.

"What happened?" Seeing this girl, Su Wanyue stood up at once.

This girl was a very close friend of Chen Jing. Looking at her anxious appearance, it was nine times out of ten that something had happened to Chen Jing. But with Chen Jing's current strength and reputation, how could something happen to her at Huaxia University?

"What's wrong, Yuanyuan? Tell me slowly if something is the matter." Su Wanyue supported Du Yuanyuan, who was panting for breath, and asked.

"Someone came to find Jingjing just now. Jingjing's expression was very ugly when she saw them. Now they are confronting each other in the small garden! It seems there is a possibility of them resorting to violence." Du Yuanyuan gasped for a few breaths, "They have many people, and they are all men. I'm worried that Jingjing will suffer, so I ran over to find you immediately."

"Someone came to find Jingjing, Jingjing's expression was very ugly, and they might resort to violence?" Su Wanyue muttered a few words, and her expression also became ugly. "Could it be that scum from the Chen Family? Damn it, they already harmed Jingjing so miserably before; are they still not giving up even now?"

"The Chen Family?" Lingyun recalled the first time he saw Chen Jing when he was in his first year of high school, her appearance of being dead inside, and his brows slowly knitted together.

"Do these guys from the Chen Family not fear that I will tear their house down!" Su Wanyue supported Du Yuanyuan, the anger on her body rising continuously. "I don't know what Jingjing is thinking, actually tolerating such a group of scum again and again!"

"Are they in the small garden now?" A flash of dark light crossed Lingyun's eyes, and his figure instantly disappeared from the small pavilion.

"Oh no, Lingyun went over!" Seeing Lingyun disappear, Su Wanyue's expression could not help but change drastically.

"He is just an ordinary person. If he gets involved in this matter, I'm afraid he will be torn to shreds by the Chen Family!" Du Yuanyuan said with a worried face.

"You rest here for a while, I'll go take a look." Su Wanyue helped Du Yuanyuan to a chair. "I hope Lingyun doesn't directly resort to violence there; those few people in the academy are not easy to deal with!"

"Wanyue, you must be fast, otherwise Lingyun will be in great danger!" Du Yuanyuan said.

"What I'm worried about now is not Lingyun, but those people from the Chen Family. With Lingyun's temperament and skills, I hope those guys won't die!" Su Wanyue shook her head, then quickly chased in the direction Lingyun had gone.

In the small garden, Chen Jing looked at the few people in front of her with a face full of Evil Energy, the aura on her body fluctuating.

The few people in front of her, however, had smiling faces, as if they didn't take the terrifying aura on Chen Jing's body into their eyes at all.

"Xiaojing, no matter what, your engagement to the young master of the Zhou Family was decided for you by the old man and the old man of the Zhou Family. Although the old man of the Zhou Family has passed away now, this engagement is still valid. People from the Zhou Family have already come to urge us several times; the young master of the Zhou Family likes you very much. I think you are not young anymore, and it is time to consider your marriage!" One of the middle-aged men said with a grin.

"That's right, Xiaojing, even if you don't think for yourself, you should think for your mother!" Another middle-aged man also advised.

Hearing that person mention the word 'mother', dark light surged in Chen Jing's eyes, her hands clenched tightly, and the aura on her body became even more terrifying.

Looking at Chen Jing like this, the people present had no fear, because they had already grasped Chen Jing's fatal weakness. As long as they still held this trump card in their hands, they didn't believe Chen Jing dared to do anything to them.

"Whoosh—" Just at this moment, a gust of wind whistled in, and a terrifying force slammed over. The few people present were unable to dodge in time and were simultaneously blasted away like rag dolls.

"Lingyun?" Seeing the person with a gloomy face appear beside her, a trace of surprise appeared on Chen Jing's face, and the Evil Energy on her body dissipated quite a bit.

"Who are you, daring to lay a hand on our Chen Family people?" The middle-aged man climbed up from the ground, staring at Lingyun with an angry face.

"Who I am is not important. The most important thing is, if you don't get lost now, I'm afraid you won't be able to get lost later!" Lingyun's cold gaze swept across the people present.

"You..." The middle-aged man wanted to say something more, but he felt a terrifying murderous aura radiating from Lingyun's body, pressing heavily upon him.

In just this instant, that middle-aged man felt as if he had taken a trip through the Eighteen Levels of Hell; his entire body was covered in cold sweat, and the words that had reached his lips were forcibly swallowed back.

"Still not getting lost?" Lingyun said coldly.

"Get lost, we'll get lost immediately." Hearing Lingyun's words, that man didn't dare to say anything more and fled the small garden without looking back.

Seeing that the leader had run away, the others didn't dare to stay here any longer and also left in a sorry state.

Lingyun swept a cold glance at that man and then stopped paying attention. In Lingyun's eyes, that man had dark clouds gathering over his head, clearly a person of great evil, but there was an invisible aura of auspicious light on his body, likely the lingering blessings of his ancestors, which had kept him safe and sound until now. Now that Lingyun had broken the protective auspicious light on his body with his own murderous aura, one could imagine what kind of end he would have.

Seeing that the people present had all fled, Chen Jing looked at Lingyun and asked softly: "Lingyun, what should I do now?"

"What's wrong? This is not the high-spirited Chen Jing in my impression!" Lingyun stretched out his hands and hugged Chen Jing.

"Are you willing to hear the story of my mother?" Chen Jing leaned her entire body into Lingyun's embrace and said softly.

"I will be the best listener." Lingyun gently patted her back.

It was a very cliché story: a girl from the countryside accidentally saved a man who was seriously injured. During the time the man was recovering from his injuries, the two spent their days and nights together, and eventually, feelings grew between them.

After the man's injuries healed, he swore to the woman, who was already three months pregnant, that he would definitely marry her with the most grand wedding and make her the happiest person. Once the man left, he did not return for several years, and from then on, all news of him was lost.

For the sake of her young daughter, the woman went to Beijing alone with her daughter. In Beijing, she saw the person she had been longing for, but that person had already become the young master of the Chen Family and had also married another woman of equal social status as his wife.

The fact that the woman appeared with her daughter surprised the man greatly, but in the end, he still let the mother and daughter enter the Chen Family. However, the mother and daughter did not live very well in the Chen Family; they were squeezed out everywhere and received cold looks everywhere. Only a few years later, the woman passed away in misery, and when she passed away, that man did not even come to see her once.

The woman's daughter had a very strong talent for cultivation when she was very young, but this also brought about a great disaster, and her bloodline was extracted by others. If it weren't for the girl having other fortuitous encounters, I'm afraid the girl would have been lost long ago.

What made the girl feel the most chilled was that her mother's ashes were hidden by that man and became a tool to threaten the girl. If it weren't for the girl's own cleverness, I'm afraid she would have disappeared into that dragon's den and tiger's lair long ago.

"That girl is you, right?" Lingyun looked at Chen Jing in his arms.

Chen Jing nodded, her voice indescribably low: "Lingyun, tell me what I should do? My mother's ashes are in their hands. I have searched secretly many times, but there have been no results. I have reached my limit. If this continues, I will go crazy. And I am afraid; if the other party is driven to desperation and destroys my mother's ashes, I will collapse."

"Don't worry, everything has me. Leave this matter to me!" Lingyun said, stroking Chen Jing's head.

"You..." Chen Jing looked at Lingyun, looking just like a wounded little beast.

"That's right, just leave it to me. I will let your mother's ashes return to your hands intact!" Lingyun nodded forcefully.
