Chapter 462

Looking at the Fú zhòu in his hand, Lin Yang was slightly stunned.

Apart from being a bit spoiled, this lass is actually quite nice.

He thought that if she ever encountered danger in the future, he would definitely help her.

What Zhang Qiling didn't know was that her momentary kindness would later save the Zhang family.

When the Zhang family was about to perish, Lin Yang arrived with sword drawn and saved the family.

As for Peng Yang, after he returned to the Peng family and had finished recounting the humiliation he had suffered,

The head of the Peng family looked at him and spoke softly.

"If a Peng family member is bullied by a brat and word gets out, where would our Peng family's face go?"

Hearing his father's words, Peng Yang's eyes flashed with sharp light.

"Give me some men, Father, and I'll go to Jinling and tear that brat apart."

The head of the Peng family looked at his son, took out an invitation, and said.

"Compared to revenge, you have something more important to do now."

"Go to Xianggang for me and attend the engagement banquet of the Huo Family's eldest miss."

The Huo Family's eldest miss?

Peng Yang looked at the invitation, speaking with a hint of puzzlement.

"Although the Huo Family wields great influence, they ultimately can't compare to our family."

"Why do I have to go?"

Hearing his son's question, the head of the Peng family said.

"This time, the family marrying into the Peng family is the Jiang Clan of Yanjing."

"I ought to give them some face."

Peng Yang exclaimed in surprise upon hearing that.

"The Peng family has really climbed high this time."

"Probably so; when they first came to the capital, I knew they weren't just here to talk business."

Talk business?

Seeing his son's puzzled look, the head of the Peng family sighed and said.

"Son, you should know our world isn't all about fighting and killing."

"Although the Royal Family stands high above, we still need money."

"This time, the Huo Family is essentially bringing a money tree."

A money tree?

Seeing his son's bewildered expression, Peng Chengfei said.

"It is a substance called Longevity Elixir; the key is to extract it from certain materials."

"From it one can extract something helpful for cultivation, and the Jiang Clan mainly values this."

Upon hearing his father's words, Peng Yang said with a sudden realization.

"Then why don't we Peng family marry into the Huo Family!"

"I am no worse than the Jiang Clan!"

Seeing his son carry a bit of dissatisfaction, Peng Chengfei chuckled and said.

"That thing isn't exclusive to the Huo Family, so why rush to compete with the Jiang Clan for it?"

"This is also the second reason I sent you to Xianggang: to marry into the Li family of Xianggang."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Peng Yang grinned and assured his father.

"Father, rest assured, I will definitely complete the mission."

"Alright, you may set off now."

On the way to the airport, Peng Yang let out a cold snort.

"Lin Yang, consider yourself lucky!"

"If I weren't occupied with important matters, I would bring people to kill you right now!"

He took out his phone, found Zhang Qiling's number, and a hint of hatred appeared on his face.

It is because of this woman that he suffered a great loss of face.

Moreover, she stands on the side of his enemy.

What good is a woman like that!

"Hmph, Zhang Qiling, after I get married I will definitely seize you and have some fun!"

"Even your Zhang family can't protect you!"

As Peng Yang boarded the plane, Lin Yang summoned Nangong Xue and Wu Shiya to his room.

During this time, he improved his cultivation method a bit.

He said to the two of them: "I will now transmit to you the cultivation method."

"Within three days, if you sense spiritual energy in my room, you will be considered initiated and qualified to continue cultivation."

"If you don't sense it, you can only go home by yourself."

As soon as they heard Lin Yang would teach them cultivation, Nangong Xue and Wu Shiya were overjoyed.

The two sat on the ground with their five hearts facing upward, and began as Lin Yang instructed.

The next day, Nangong Xue sensed the presence of spiritual energy.

She could even draw the spiritual energy into her body.

Lin Yang looked and was somewhat surprised.

"Looks like your talent isn't bad."

Then, he passed on the cultivation method he had improved to her.

"Follow the instructions and practice diligently; if you don't understand something, you can ask me."

"Okay."

On the third day, Wu Shiya also sensed the presence of spiritual energy.

Lin Yang began teaching the two of them cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

The two women formally entered the stage of drawing qi into the body.

Lin Yang thought, it's about time he returned to the southwest to pass on the cultivation method to his sister and them.

After Nangong Xue and the others went home, Lin Yang prepared to book a ticket to the southwest.

Just as he took out his phone, a call came in.

Seeing it was Xiao Fangfang calling, Lin Yang couldn't help but smile.

He answered the phone and said with a chuckle.

"Aunt Xiao, what's the matter that made you call me?"

"Lin Yang, something big has happened!"

Hearing Xiao Fangfang's solemn voice, Lin Yang asked in surprise.

"What is it?"

"The day before yesterday, I sent people to deliver the Longevity Elixir to the Huo Family, and they immediately checked the accounts."

"If they hadn't checked, it wouldn't matter, but once they did, I discovered they had teamed up with the Jiang Clan of Yanjing!"

"I heard from Ying'er that you have a grudge against the Jiang Clan; what do you think we should do about this?"

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang felt a surge of unnamed anger rise in his heart.

"How dare they!"

Initially, the Huo Family begged him to give them the Longevity Elixir to act as agents.

Now, they actually went and partnered with his enemy.

Hearing Lin Yang's angry words, Xiao Fangfang said.

"The news I heard is that it seems the Huo Family and the Jiang Clan have become allied by marriage."

"Marriage alliance?"

Lin Yang instantly thought of Huo Shui Xian.

For some reason, his heart jumped.

He suppressed his anger and asked Xiao Fangfang.

"Do you know who is involved in the marriage alliance?"

"I haven't heard anything from the Jiang Clan side yet, but on the Huo Family side, it's Huo Shui Xian."

"By the way, you've met before, and I heard you get along pretty well—didn't he tell you?"

Anger welled up in Lin Yang's heart; he wanted to go confront Huo Shui Xian, asking why!

But then he thought, what status would he have to question her!

He exhaled a breath, forcibly suppressing his anger and said.

"I know about this matter; I'll go to Xianggang myself to check it out."

Xiao Fangfang asked: "Then should we take back the Longevity Elixir we just sent over?"

"Take it!"

As for the Huo Family that has allied by marriage with the Jiang Clan, I don't need to show them any courtesy!

"Alright, then I'll have that person bring it back right now."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yang, who had originally planned to book a ticket back to the southwest, directly booked a ticket to Xianggang!

Sitting on the way to Xianggang, Lin Yang's mind occasionally conjured the image of Huo Shui Xian.

And the words they had spoken when they were together.

This made Lin Yang involuntarily become irritable.

Just as he was feeling irritable, a voice pulled him back to reality.

"Are you Lin Yang, Mr. Lin?"

A middle-aged man in his forties, somewhat portly, stood beside Lin Yang and asked in a low voice.

Lin Yang looked at him and couldn't help but ask.

"Who are you?"
