Chapter 321: One Cannot Judge a Person by Their Appearance

"Lord Shen, this Ying City is peaceful and harmonious; there is nothing amiss!"

After having his suspicions, Shen Yu, led by Leng Hanye, came directly to Ying City, where the Leng Family was located.

Seeing that Ying City was peaceful, the citizens within the city showed not the slightest sign of panic, and the streets were as bustling and prosperous as usual; only then did Leng Hanye heave a sigh of relief.

Lord Shen's guess was wrong; there was nothing wrong with Ying City, which proved that the Leng Family was still fine—at least, there were no major issues.

Otherwise, if the Leng Family descendants were truly as uncontrollable as he was, killing people under the instinct of bloodthirst, then Ying City would have long been in a state of panic.

"Let's go take a look at the Leng Family!"

"Lord Shen, please follow me!" Just as he pointed out the direction to Shen Yu, before Leng Hanye could react, he was taken by Shen Yu to tear through space, arriving instantly at the location of the Leng Family.

Shen Yu's Super Perception enveloped the entire city; once here, he no longer needed anyone to point the way to the Leng Family.

"Who goes there?"

Upon discovering the two people who had suddenly appeared, the members of the Leng Family were stunned for a moment, and then, following a shout, countless experts rushed toward them.

However, just as they were about to make a move, someone recognized Leng Hanye: "Don't move, it's the Second Master, it's the Second Master!"

"Quickly go report to the Family Head, the Second Master has returned!"

"Second Master, you've returned home?" A Huwe who recognized Leng Hanye stepped forward to salute, while waving his hand to signal everyone to stand down.

It was no wonder they didn't recognize him; this Second Master rarely returned home even once in several years, and whenever he did, he would just pop in and leave in a hurry.

Even among the Leng Family members, not many knew him, let alone these Huwe; very few had even seen him.

They didn't know what was wrong today, as the Second Master had appeared directly inside the house; did he not use the main gate when coming home?

"Has any major incident happened in the family recently? Have a large number of people been killed in Ying City for no reason?"

"Ah?" Stunned by the question Leng Hanye asked right off the bat, the Huwe immediately reacted and hurriedly replied.

"Second Master, no major incidents have occurred in the family recently. As for whether anyone has been killed in the city, that should be the responsibility of the Prefecture Office, but it seems I haven't heard of any murders happening in Ying City lately."

"Second Master, with our Leng Family guarding Ying City, who would be so blind as to come here and cause trouble? Did you hear something?"

Leng Hanye's words were baffling; this Second Master lived thousands of miles away from Ying City, and it was one thing to return suddenly without a word, but to start off by asking these strange questions was another.

Originally there was nothing wrong, but why did it suddenly feel like there might be something wrong?

"Second Master, the Family Head is here!"

Not long after, the Leng Family Head, Leng Hanyue, rushed over, sweat still visible on his face; it was clear he had come in a hurry.

"Second Brother, why didn't you send word when you returned?"

"Brother, it's a long story!" The two brothers exchanged hurried greetings, and then Leng Hanye introduced Shen Yu, who was beside him.

"Brother, this is Lord Shen Yu!"

"Shen Yu?" After hearing Leng Hanye's introduction, Leng Hanyue was slightly stunned, then immediately reacted, his heart skipping a beat. He never expected that his second brother would actually bring him here.

My good brother, you really have delivered a surprise to your brother; a surprise so shocking it's beyond words.

"True Soul Realm!" Upon seeing the Leng Family Head, Leng Hanyue, Shen Yu raised an eyebrow; the Leng Family Head was already an expert of the True Soul Realm.

Previously, even the heads of the eight great aristocratic families of the world were only in the Transcendence Realm; the Leng Family was slightly inferior to them, so their strength was naturally much lower.

With the Spirit Qi Surge, is the improvement of the world's experts really this fast?

"Lord Shen, your presence brings light to my humble home. I failed to welcome you from afar; quickly, please come in!"

"No rush!" Waving his hand to stop Leng Hanyue, Shen Yu went straight to the point and asked, "I came here because I have something I wish to ask the Family Head of the Leng Family!"

"I do not know what Lord Shen wishes to ask, but we will certainly tell you everything we know."

"Very well!" Looking at the Leng Hanyue before him, Shen Yu asked casually, "Has there been any change in your Leng Family bloodline recently?"

"Bloodline?" His eyes narrowed slightly, and then Leng Hanyue gave a bitter smile. "So, you already know about our Leng Family's bloodline!"

"Indeed, our Leng Family bloodline is special, and our ancestors left behind methods to control the bloodline, which have been kept by successive Family Heads."

"It's just that for so many years, our Leng Family has never had anyone with a bloodline awakening, so this matter was gradually forgotten by later generations; I had only seen it in the clan records and usually treated it as a legend."

"It's just that some time ago..."

Seeming to recall something, Leng Hanyue shook his head and said helplessly, "Some time ago, the heavens and earth were in turmoil, and the bloodlines of some Leng Family members seemed to have been activated."

"Fortunately, the methods to control the power of the bloodline left behind by our ancestors were indeed effective, so everything is safe and sound."

Speaking of this, Leng Hanyue looked at the person beside him with concern. "Second Brother, has your bloodline also been activated? It is all my fault for being so busy these days that I forgot about you, thousands of miles away!"

While speaking, Leng Hanyue took a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it over, densely covered with writing.

"Second Brother, this secret technique was left by our ancestors; you must practice it diligently so that you can fully master the power of the bloodline and make it your own!"

"This..." Looking at his brother and then at Shen Yu, Leng Hanye took the secret technique, looked at it, and carefully practiced it a little according to the instructions.

After only a short while, he felt as if he could communicate with the power hidden within his bloodline; these powers were actually beginning to truly fuse into his body, thread by thread.

Given time, it would not be impossible to fully control and refine it; this secret technique was truly useful.

"Many thanks, Brother. Lord Shen, this secret technique is indeed useful. It seems that there is no problem with our Leng Family!"

"Second Brother, Lord Shen, although our Leng Family bloodline is dangerous, it can still be controlled!"

Seeing this, Leng Hanyue could already guess the purpose of Shen Yu's visit to the Leng Family with high accuracy.

"Lord Shen, please rest assured; our Leng Family is a prestigious aristocratic family and will never do anything harmful to the Jianghu or the people."

"If anyone dares to do so, I will be the first to not spare them; I will not allow anyone to tarnish the family reputation of the Leng Family!"

Leng Hanyue appeared full of integrity, and his words were so firm that it was hard not to be convinced.

This situation also made Leng Hanye heave a sigh of relief; it turned out that their Leng Family knew about their own bloodline and had ways to suppress it, making him worry for nothing.

"I see!" With no change in his expression, Shen Yu glanced at Leng Hanyue nonchalantly, his eyes revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

"I came here this time because of the awakening of the bloodline of Lord Leng, fearing that the same situation might occur in the Leng Family. Since the Leng Family has a way to deal with it, then I am relieved, and I will not disturb you further."

"Lord Shen, Lord Shen, your presence brings honor to our Leng Family; we should treat you properly. Is our hospitality lacking?"

"No need, I have other matters to attend to, so I will not intrude!" Waving his hand at Leng Hanyue, Shen Yu prepared to leave, and Leng Hanye followed closely behind.

Only after leaving the Leng Family did Leng Hanye finally heave a sigh of relief; the Leng Family had passed this hurdle.

"Lord Shen, it seems there is nothing amiss with the Leng Family. Since my elder brother knows the method of suppression, there should be no problem. That is good, that is good!"

"No, your elder brother has a problem; he was afraid when he saw me!"

"Is Lord Shen being a bit over-anxious?" Carefully glancing at Shen Yu, you thought to yourself, don't you have any idea what kind of reputation you have in the pugilistic world? Who wouldn't be afraid upon seeing you? Who wouldn't tremble upon hearing that you, Shen Yu, had come knocking?

The ones who aren't afraid when they see you are the ones with the problem!

"You don't believe me?" Looking back toward the direction of the Leng Family, Shen Yu said indifferently, "Your elder brother produced that secret technique far too conveniently. Would such a precious secret technique just be carried on one's person?"

"This... perhaps it is precisely because it is precious that my elder brother carries it with him."

"Is that so? Do you believe your own words?"
