Chapter 478: Turns out she's from the Huo Family

She looked at the people on the shore, then looked again at Lin Yang inside the cabin.

For some reason, she felt a bit panicked.

She thought for a moment, forced herself to stay calm, and walked into the cabin.

She looked at Lin Yang and said.

"Lin Yang, we're about to dock, how about you and Huang Jingtai play a few rounds?"

"After all, he's the one who gave us the invitation."

Huang Jingtai heard that, his eyes widened as he looked at Huo Yanfei.

"This woman, she's deliberately setting me up, right!"

Lin Yang smiled, looked at Huang Jingtai, and said.

"Young Master Huang, why not give it a try?"

He was about to refuse, but Lin Yang looked at him, half-smiling, and said.

"I'm the type who dislikes it most when others refuse me."

Hearing that, Huang Jingtai sat down at the gambling table with a bitter face.

"I don't have much money on me right now..."

"I can lend you some, but I'll charge interest."

Before Huang Jingtai could refuse, Lin Yang said.

"How do you want to gamble?"

Huang Jingtai hesitated for a moment, then said to Lin Yang.

"Let's play twenty-one."

Lin Yang smiled, nodded, and said.

"Sure."

While they were playing, the cruise ship gradually approached the shore.

Huang Jingtai, who had lost a round, said happily.

"We've docked, let's get off."

"No rush, let's play a bit more."

Now Huang Jingtai could only continue playing with a bitter face.

Seeing them continue to play, Huo Yanfei quietly disembarked.

As she disembarked, Lin Yang's mouth corners slightly rose.

He could hardly fail to see through Huo Yanfei's little thoughts.

He thought, since Huo Yanfei didn't want him to meet her family, he would simply avoid them.

On the shore, Huo Yanfei lowered her head, standing before a middle-aged man.

The man had a buzz cut, looking somewhat fierce.

Huo Yanfei obediently called out, "Second Uncle."

The man grunted and said, "Yanfei, I heard you eloped with someone, is that true?"

Seeing her second uncle looking toward the cruise ship, Huo Yanfei anxiously said.

"No, I'm just playing with a friend."

Hearing Huo Yanfei's words, the man continued.

"Then tell me, what exactly did you hide for your sister that night?"

"Nothing much, just a little secret I had with my sister before."

"Second Uncle, you wouldn't even pry into this, would you?"

Seeing Huo Yanfei not speak, the man said.

"I won't ask about that, then let me meet your friend."

Saying that, he was about to board the cruise ship.

At that moment, Huang Jingtai walked out of the cabin, awkwardly looking at the middle-aged man.

The man, upon seeing Huang Jingtai, immediately snorted.

Then he said to Huo Yanfei.

"Yanfei, your family just spoils you too much."

"Letting you hang out with people like this, this time when you go back I'll lock you up tight!"

Saying that, he took Huo Yanfei and left.

Watching Huo Yanfei's family drive away in a car, Huang Jingtai muttered curses.

"What's so great about the Huo Family."

"It's just to cozy up to the Jiang Clan's big thigh, still acting all high and mighty, looking down on me, I spit!"

Just as Huang Jingtai finished cursing, Lin Yang stood beside him, frowned, and asked.

"What did you just say?"

Huang Jingtai thought Lin Yang was going to speak up for Huo Yanfei, so he quickly waved his hand and gave an embarrassed smile, saying.

"Nothing, I didn't say anything."

Lin Yang ignored him and instead asked himself.

"You said, they are Huo Family people?"

"Ah?"

Huang Jingtai, doubtful, looked at Lin Yang and asked.

"You don't know, she is the Huo Family's eldest daughter, Huo Yanfei, right?"

"She told me her name is Du Yanfei."

Huang Jingtai suddenly wanted to laugh, but Lin Yang was beside him, so he could only hold it in.

Lin Yang fell silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"So that's how it is."

He looked at the car whose taillights were still visible, his gaze complex.

And inside the Huo Family's car, the Huo Family's second son said to Huo Yanfei.

"Yanfei, the one you were playing with isn't Huang Jingtai, is it?"

"Master Yang has already come looking for us."

Upon hearing that, Huo Yanfei immediately grew nervous.

Seeing her nervous appearance, the Huo Family's second son said.

"However, seeing that you didn't cause a big scene, I'll let him off this once."

"As for Master Yang's side, all we can do is let him fend for himself."

Upon hearing that, Huo Yanfei pleaded.

"Second Uncle, please help him."

"It's not that I won't help; you don't know how formidable Master Yang is, do you?"

"Are you going to harm the Huo Family for the sake of an outsider?"

Hearing her second uncle's words, Huo Yanfei was instantly struck speechless.

"Come on, he's just a passerby in your life."

When they returned to the Huo Family's residence, Lin Yang also returned to the hotel.

Lin Yang's mind was now in turmoil.

Huo Yanfei had previously called him brother-in-law; it wasn't a mistake—it was true.

No wonder she kept clinging to him.

Moreover, thinking back to the question she had asked earlier, a fire rose in his heart.

She clearly knew her own identity—why didn't she say so sooner!

As he pondered whether to go to the Huo Family's residence, a gentle breeze blew past and the door opened by itself.

Lin Yang looked toward the doorway and spoke in a low voice.

"I'm in a bad mood right now—don't provoke me."

A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a black Tang suit, walked in laughing.

"Are you really that arrogant?"

"You don't think that defeating Gu Yuan makes you invincible under heaven, do you?"

Seeing the middle-aged man, Lin Yang said coldly.

"I told you to get lost—didn't you hear me?"

The man chuckled and found a seat for himself.

"I won't be careless like Gu Yuan."

"On the contrary, you're too slow to react—you didn't even notice the formation I set up inside the house."

Lin Yang, upon hearing that, said coldly.

"I told you to get lost—didn't you hear me?"

Seeing Lin Yang still telling him to get lost, the middle-aged man stood up and said.

"Let me introduce myself—I'm Tan Yihai, a member of the Yang family sect."

"Tonight, I came especially to take you to the Yang family."

"Now, come with me."

Lin Yang said coldly: "I told you to get lost—didn't you hear me?"

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Tan Yihai shook his head and said.

"You're obstinate and clueless—then I have no choice but to act."

He stamped his foot and formed hand seals.

"Earth, water, fire, wind—great formation, activate!"

At that moment, the indoor environment began to change.

Strands of energy began to surface.

Even the floor began to show water.

Impatient, Lin Yang stamped his foot and let out a great shout.

"Get lost!"

His spiritual power burst forth, shattering the formation inside the house completely.

The formation's eye broke, and the formation naturally vanished.

Tan Yihai, who had set up the formation, also suffered backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at Lin Yang in horror and then quickly left.

Lin Yang couldn't be bothered to chase him, letting him go.

After fleeing the hotel, Tan Yihai gasped heavily.

Just with a single shout, he broke my formation—my master probably couldn't even do that.

He took out his phone, intending to tell his master.

But after thinking it over, I still decided to let it go.

My master still has things to do tomorrow; I'll wait until he's done and then go find him.
