Chapter 160: with translation of chapter title
After the flood dragon dissipated, Wu Zhen and his two bodyguards felt a great weight lifted.
Their backs were completely soaked with sweat.
They took a few breaths, looking at Lin Yang with uncertain astonishment.
"Was that flood dragon just now real?"
"If you think he's real, then he is real."
"If you think it's fake, then it's fake."
Hearing Lin Yang say that, the three fell silent for a moment.
"Mr. Lin, this is a Formation (Array), right?"
Huo Shui Xian asked.
"As expected of Miss Huo, you're perceptive—yes, this is indeed a Formation (Array)."
"With just a thought of mine, I could kill you all in an instant."
If they hadn't witnessed something formidable, Wu Zhen and the others would surely scoff.
But having just experienced being besieged, Huo Shui Xian and the others believed Lin Yang's words without doubt.
Huo Shui Xian felt both startled and delighted, and she respectfully said to Lin Yang:
"Mr. Lin, we'll go back to prepare, and in two days we'll come to fetch you for departure."
"During this time you should also prepare, for the place we're going is deep in the mountains and forests, where miasma abounds."
"You need to be careful."
"Okay."
After they left, Lin Yang pondered a bit, preparing to go to the pharmacy to grab a few herbs to concoct anti-miasma pills.
On the way back, Huo Shui Xian, Wu Zhen hesitated a moment and said to Huo Shui Xian:
"Miss Huo, Lin Yang's strength appears far above ours; cooperating with him might be like seeking skin from a tiger!"
Hearing Wu Zhen's words, Huo Shui Xian hesitated a moment and said:
"But we've searched so long and only found this one Xuánmén Person."
"My grandfather can't wait any longer; we must find the legendary elixir of immortality!"
After pondering a moment, Huo Shui Xian said:
"After returning, immediately contact the Xianggang side; I'll bring a few martial arts masters and go together."
"If this guy tries to hog it all, I'll kill him right away!"
Wu Zhen also nodded.
On Lin Yang's side, after grabbing a few doses of medicine at the pharmacy, he said to Du Juan:
"I'll be leaving the southwest for a few days; please hold down the shop for me in the meantime."
Saying that, he left Lu Linglong's phone number.
"If you encounter something you can't resolve, you can call this number."
Du Juan obediently nodded and took the slip of paper.
When Lin Yang was about to head home, Lu Linglong called him and said:
"Mr. Lin, we've looked into Wu Zhen's background—he's a member of the Huo Family of Xianggang!"
"I already knew that."
Lu Linglong on the other end was a bit surprised, not expecting Lin Yang to already know.
Lin Yang pondered a moment and asked, "Then do you know why he came to the southwest?"
"According to the investigation, many members of the Huo Family have been distributed across the country this year."
"They seem to be searching for something to cure the Huo family patriarch's illness."
"Something to cure the illness?"
Lin Yang smiled and recounted everything about how Huo Shui Xian had sought him out.
"I had been wondering what they were after, but now that you say this, I understand."
Hearing Lin Yang's words, Lu Linglong said with concern:
"Mr. Lin, you must be careful of the Huo Family's people."
"They're able to dominate Xianggang, so they're certainly not simple!"
Hearing Lu Linglong's words, Lin Yang gave a slight smile and said:
"Alright, I know what to do."
After hanging up, Lin Yang laughed as he returned to his residence and began concocting the anti-miasma pills.
Two days passed in a flash, and Huo Shui Xian came again.
However, this time he brought four middle-aged people.
These four looked like ordinary people, without strong muscles or tall stature.
They appeared just like ordinary people.
But Lin Yang could sense a powerful qi and blood from them.
Such qi and blood only appear when a martial artist reaches a certain realm.
At this moment, Huo Shui Xian, dressed in a sports outfit, walked up to Lin Yang.
"Mr. Lin, these are the bodyguards my father sent; they're responsible for our safety."
Lin Yang didn't mind either; if these four proved unfavorable to him, he wouldn't hesitate to kill them all.
"Since Miss Huo is ready, let's set off."
"Okay!"
The location marked on the map is not in the southwest, but a province neighboring the province.
A group rushed to the airport, preparing to fly to the neighboring province.
When they arrived at the airport, Lin Yang got out of the Bentley.
A young man in a suit walked up to the car door.
Although the young man's appearance was ordinary, from his clothing to his watch, everything was luxury.
He saw Huo Shui Xian get out of the car and smiled.
"Shui Xian, I heard you're going to take a flight, so I specially chartered a plane."
"As long as you're willing, the plane can leave at any time."
Upon seeing He Dongyang, Huo Shui Xian couldn't help but frown and say.
"How do you know my itinerary?"
"Hehe, of course I heard it from my uncle."
"He said it's unsafe for a single woman to travel alone, so he asked me to protect you."
Huo Shui Xian's brows slightly furrowed, but she soon relaxed.
She put on a smile and said to He Dongyang.
"Then I'll trouble you."
These young scions of great families, even if they dislike each other, will not show their true feelings when interacting.
This is what the young scions of great families are like: their scheming and mental depth are relatively deep.
Of course, this also applies to peers whom they look up to.
As for people of lower status than them, they will not conceal what they think at all.
Just like He Dongyang now standing before Lin Yang, he looked at Lin Yang and spoke in a low voice.
"What is your name?"
He, assuming the air of a superior, examined Lin Yang.
"It's none of your business."
Lin Yang had no tolerance for such a young master.
Hearing Lin Yang dare to speak to him like that, He Dongyang's face darkened.
"Dare to speak to me like that—who do you think you are!"
He raised his hand and swung a slap at Lin Yang.
But Lin Yang caught his hand, looked at him, and said indifferently.
"Get lost!"
He Dongyang snorted coldly and said to Lin Yang.
"Do you dare tell me to get lost? Do you know who I am?"
"I am a member of the He family!"
"You'd better let go of my hand and let me beat you up, or else I'll make you regret it."
Upon hearing that, Lin Yang released his hand.
He Dongyang, whose hand had been released, snorted coldly and prepared to strike again.
Who would have thought, Lin Yang immediately started slapping left and right.
The crisp slaps echoed through the terminal.
Seeing this, Huo Shui Xian couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
The esteemed young master of the He family was actually beaten in public.
Lin Yang, who had beaten He Dongyang into a pig's head, tossed him aside like a dead dog.
"Get lost."
After doing all that, Lin Yang walked over to the stunned Huo Shui Xian.
"Let's go, don't waste time."
The four bodyguards quietly asked Huo Shui Xian.
"Miss, should we seize this brat and throw him to the He family?"
The Huo and He families have been close friends for generations; now that He Dongyang has come of age, they logically wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
Huo Shui Xian watched Lin Yang's back as he entered the terminal, gritted her teeth, and followed after him.
