Chapter 258: with translation of chapter title

Exterminate the Ke Clan?

Ke Zhengnan, being stepped on underfoot, felt he had misheard.

The person he saw for the first time actually declared he would exterminate the Ke Clan!

Not only him, but Qu Zhenfei and Zhu Yeqing beside him also looked shocked upon hearing it.

The Ke Clan in Jinling is a first-rate family, its strength far surpassing that of the Jiang, Shen, Han, and Yang four families.

Lin Yang actually opened his mouth and said he would exterminate the Ke Clan!

Ke Zhengnan, whose cheekbone had been crushed, made a somewhat unclear sound.

But Qu Zhenfei beside him stared at Lin Yang as if looking at a madman.

"Do you know what the Ke Clan represents, and yet you want to exterminate them?"

"Of course I know; they're just a first-rate family in Jinling."

Just a first-rate family?

If these words came from someone else's mouth, Zhu Yeqing would think this person a bit arrogant.

But coming from Lin Yang's mouth, it makes people much more convinced.

At this moment, Qu Zhenfei felt he had encountered a madman.

However, the pain between his legs again prevented him from running.

Taking even a single step now feels like it would cost him his life.

He thought for a moment; he had already made a phone call.

Ke Zhengnan's bodyguards arrived quickly.

He only needed to buy time; then it would be Lin Yang who dies.

Thus, he said to Lin Yang.

"You say you want to exterminate the Ke Clan; can you explain your reason?"

"Because the Ke Clan deserves to die."

Such a brief reason left Qu Zhenfei momentarily unsure how to respond.

He looked at the long sword in Lin Yang's hand, a hint of fear in his voice as he asked.

"Are you really going to kill us all right now?"

Lin Yang chuckled and said to Qu Zhenfei.

"Of course not; if I killed you now, how would I lure more Ke Clan members here?"

"Besides, your deaths here would also cause trouble for Chairman Qi."

Qu Zhenfei had just relaxed a breath when he heard Lin Yang say.

"However, the day his elder brother arrives in the southwest will be your day of death."

Seeing Lin Yang even set a timeframe for the two of them, Qu Zhenfei felt a chill rise in his heart.

Just then, six people burst through the door.

The six were all heavily built, looking extremely terrifying.

Lin Yang glanced at them, shook his head, and said.

"Six early-stage Transformation Realm martial artists—nothing to worry about."

Upon hearing this, the six glanced at Ke Zhengnan and Qu Zhenfei, let out a Great Shout, and attacked together.

Watching the few who struck out, Lin Yang shook his head and raised a hand.

Then, several muffled groans sounded.

The six lay on the ground, clutching their wounds and groaning.

The six lying on the ground stared at Lin Yang in disbelief.

They couldn't even see clearly how Lin Yang had struck.

Looking at the six lying on the ground, plus Ke Zhengnan with a sunken cheekbone, an arm chopped off, and on the verge of passing out.

Lin Yang kicked Ke Zhengnan toward them with one foot.

"Take him and get out quickly."

Upon hearing this, Qu Zhenfei was the first to want to flee.

As he was about to walk out, Lin Yang slowly said.

"You've been jumping around in front of me repeatedly; I think I should still give you a lesson."

Having said that, he flicked his finger, and a bolt of Spiritual Power shot straight toward Qu Zhenfei's arm.

"Crack"

The sound of breaking bones accompanied a wail.

His arm went limp and drooped.

The six bodyguards witnessing this scene had foreheads covered in cold sweat.

Severing an arm from a distance—this is truly too terrifying!

"Take them and leave; I don't want to see any of you within thirty seconds."

Upon hearing this, the six couldn't care about their shock.

Some lifted Ke Zhengnan, some hoisted Qu Zhenfei, and they sprinted outward at full speed.

They feared Lin Yang might regret it, so they took them away.

After they left, Zhu Yeqing exhaled a turbid breath.

"Lin Yang, thank you."

"No need to thank me; I and the Ke Clan are just at odds."

Besides, if thanks are due, I should thank you; I'm also helping with my sister's matter.

I still owe you a favor.

Zhu Yeqing heard this, his eyes full of doubt.

How could the Ke Clan and Lin Yang come into conflict?

Moreover, recently no one from the Ke Clan came to the southwest; how did this conflict come about?

Although he had doubts, Zhu Yeqing still didn't ask.

After all, everyone has their own secrets.

Lin Yang didn't say much more and left the Sihe Group alone.

When he returned to the villa, he saw Lin Ying'er sitting glumly on the sofa.

Huang Yiyi beside him kept urging.

Lin Yang, seeing this, asked.

"What's wrong with him?"

"The school wants to expel Ying'er..."

Lin Yang was somewhat taken aback, then broke into a smile and said cheerfully.

"Ying'er, I've already settled this matter; didn't the principal tell you?"

Lin Ying'er, upon hearing this, looked at Lin Yang with some disbelief.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true; I settled it earlier; didn't the principal tell you?"

"No."

Lin Yang furrowed his brow and dialed the president of Nan Da.

The principal on the other end of the line, with a hint of apology, said.

"Mr. Lin, sorry, I happened to be busy and forgot."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang handed the phone to Lin Ying'er.

After Lin Ying'er spoke a few words with the principal, a smile reappeared on her face.

"My brother is amazing; he can solve any problem."

Seeing Lin Ying'er's smile, Lin Yang also unconsciously broke into a smile.

Now, Ying'er is his only remaining relative.

He cannot let anything happen to Ying'er anymore.

"Ying'er, do you remember what your father had on him before the fire?"

At that time, Yang Guobin said that people from Yanjing had taken something from his father's person.

He wanted to know, so it would be easier to retrieve it later.

Lin Ying'er began to think carefully.

Because of that fire, to her it felt as if it had just happened, with few confused memories.

"I remember now; the night before the fire, Father had a jade pendant and a leather scroll on him."

"I even asked him why he carried the leather scroll; he just smiled and didn't say much."

The matter of the jade pendant reminded him of his own blood jade.

He guessed that his father had a premonition then and got a jade pendant as a substitute.

As for what was recorded in the leather scroll, he didn't know.

"Brother, how do you know Father had something on him?"

Lin Yang didn't want Lin Ying'er to know that the ones responsible for his family's ruin were their nominal relatives.

As he was thinking about how to explain, Lu Linglong walked in.

Seeing Lin Yang there, she was delighted.

"Lin Yang, you're here too; great, saves me from calling you."

Seeing Lin Ying'er's happy face, Lin Yang curiously asked.

"What's up?"

When this was brought up, Lu Linglong's face flushed slightly.

But she still spoke openly.

"My grandfather hasn't seen you in a while; he'd like to invite you to dinner at our home tonight."

"I don't know; are you free?"

Before Lin Yang could answer, Lin Ying'er jumped in.

"Yes, my brother is totally free; he'll definitely go tonight!"
