Chapter 485: with translation of chapter title

At night, Lin Yang was in his residence.

He saw the forum that Wang Hailai spoke of, and he also laughed.

On the forum, regarding his fight with Yang Shaocheng, someone had already opened betting.

Many people still bet on Yang Shaocheng to win.

The odds for Lin Yang's victory are one to ten.

But not many people bet on Lin Yang to win.

Obviously, everyone is not optimistic about him.

Some even declared that Lin Yang is merely someone who seeks popularity.

They said that any random cultivator could kill Lin Yang.

Seeing the posts on the forum, Lin Yang also found it amusing.

He had already imagined that, on the day the battle began, after he instantly killed Yang Shaocheng, what their expressions would be.

Just as he was thinking, wondering whether he should also place a bet on his own victory.

A hurried knocking sounded.

Lin Yang couldn't help frowning; he disliked this hurried knocking.

He waved his hand and opened the door.

When he saw Huo Yanfei at the door, he asked in surprise.

"How did you come?"

Huo Yanfei looked at Lin Yang and hurriedly said.

"I came to save you!"

"Save me?"

Lin Yang looked at the flustered Huo Yanfei, smiled, and said.

"What are you saving me from?"

Huo Yanfei took a sip of water and said to Lin Yang.

"Of course to save you from fleeing Xianggang and not participating in the contest two days later."

Seeing Huo Yanfei still panting, Lin Yang asked curiously.

"Did you hear something?"

"That made you so anxious, coming to report to me."

Huo Yanfei immediately said.

"You're not talking nonsense; I definitely heard something!"

"I tell you, the Jiang Clan is also sending people over."

"Do you think you can beat Yang Shaocheng and the people from the Jiang Clan?"

Upon hearing that the Jiang Clan people were coming, Lin Yang asked in surprise.

"Who told you?"

Huo Yanfei instantly became hesitant.

Seeing her like that, Lin Yang laughed.

"It's you eavesdropping, right?"

"How do you know?"

Huo Yanfei looked at Lin Yang with a shocked expression.

Even Lin Yang could guess that!

Seeing Huo Yanfei's shocked look, Lin Yang chuckled.

"It's easy to guess, because you can't keep secrets."

Lin Yang's words made Huo Yanfei somewhat annoyed.

This guy, how can he be so clueless about gratitude.

This young lady came over to give a heads‑up, yet this guy still mocks me.

If this were in the past, this would be considered betraying the family—a major matter!

The more Huo Yanfei thought about it, the angrier she became, and she shouted.

"Ah, you bastard, I want to duel you!"

Saying that, she bared her teeth and claws and ran toward Lin Yang.

Lin Yang pointed a finger at her brow, preventing her from advancing even an inch.

Lin Yang looked at her and asked.

"Is your sister still well?"

Upon hearing Lin Yang mention her sister, Huo Yanfei instantly stopped her movements.

She looked at Lin Yang and asked, "You want to know how my sister is doing so badly—why don't you go see her yourself?"

Lin Yang shook his head and said.

"I can't go."

Huo Yanfei snorted and said to Lin Yang.

"My sister said you aren't that strong, yet you can fly on a sword."

"You know where my house is; just go there secretly at night."

Lin Yang sighed and said to Huo Yanfei.

"It's useless for me to go see her; only if she agrees to meet me does it make sense."

Huo Yanfei tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

Then she asked.

"My older sister is about to get married, what should I do?"

"And what about the child in her belly—are you just going to ignore it?"

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "It won't happen."

"She won't get married, because the person who would marry her won't be alive."

Hearing this, Huo Yanfei frowned and asked.

"What do you mean by that?"

After saying that, she looked at Lin Yang with disbelief and said.

"Are you crazy? You actually want to go kill people from the Jiang Clan!"

"Do you know how formidable the Jiang Clan is?"

Lin Yang nodded and said, "Of course I know, but they're not as formidable as I am."

That confident look left Huo Yanfei dazed for a moment, then she spat and said.

"Just know how to brag."

"I shouldn't have come tonight!"

Having said that, she fumed and was about to leave.

Seeing Huo Yanfei about to leave, Lin Yang called out.

"Wait."

Huo Yanfei stopped her steps, turned around and looked at Lin Yang.

"What is it, anything else?"

Lin Yang walked up to her and produced two Fú zhòu.

"These are the Fú zhòu I refined these past two days; when you encounter danger, just reveal the Fú zhòu."

"Ah?"

Looking at the Fú zhòu in her hand, Huo Yanfei's expression turned somewhat strange.

If it weren't from Lin Yang, she would have thought it was a scammer trying to cheat her out of money.

However, this guy still has a conscience.

He didn't just think about his own sister.

Nor was it in vain that he braved the danger of being discovered late at night to come tell her.

"Alright, I got it, I'm heading back."

When Huo Yanfei returned home, she saw her second uncle Huo Zhixiang sitting in the living room.

As soon as she saw Huo Zhixiang, Huo Yanfei's heart gave a jolt.

"Second Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Huo Yanfei return from outside, Huo Zhixiang chuckled and said.

"Second Uncle has been waiting for you."

"Waiting for me?"

Huo Yanfei looked at her second uncle doubtfully.

"You weren't going to deliver a message to Lin Yang, were you? Second Uncle, aren't you waiting for me to come back?"

Upon hearing that, Huo Yanfei's face instantly turned deathly pale.

She flusteredly waved her hands and said to Huo Zhixiang.

"Second Uncle, I didn't, don't spout nonsense."

Huo Zhixiang chuckled and said.

"Good child, I won't blame you; on the contrary, I want to thank you."

"If it weren't for you, the Jiang Clan wouldn't be able to easily find Lin Yang."

Upon hearing that, Huo Yanfei's expression changed instantly, and she looked at Huo Zhixiang and said.

"You know I ran out the door!"

"You deliberately used me!"

Huo Zhixiang chuckled and said.

"You're doing this to help the family."

"But rest assured, the Jiang Clan won't kill him; they'll only injure him."

"On Nine Dragon Mountain in two days, your second uncle will still make a profit."

Hearing that, Huo Yanfei's face turned deathly pale, and she couldn't utter a word.

She had thought she was helping Lin Yang, but instead she had harmed him!

Thinking this, Huo Yanfei's body trembled as she pointed at Huo Zhixiang.

"You... you despicable!"

Hearing Huo Yanfei's words, Huo Zhixiang slammed the table and shouted.

"How dare you speak to your second uncle like that!"

"You violated the family rules first; I didn't punish you, which is already the greatest leniency toward you!"

Those words left Huo Yanfei speechless.

She was anxious, tears streaming nonstop.

She turned around, wanting to run out, but Huo Zhixiang calmly said.

"Useless, it's already too late."

At this moment, Lin Yang looked at the three uninvited guests who had appeared in his room, and asked with a smile.

"Are you disciples of Yang Shaocheng?"

Among the three, the middle-aged man with white hair shook his head and said.

"We come from the Jiang Clan of Yanjing; we came specially today to meet you."

Upon hearing it was the Jiang Clan of Yanjing, Lin Yang narrowed his eyes.
