Chapter 20 Murderous Intent From the Lin Family
After the siblings had dinner, Chuchu excitedly went off to play on her phone.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, ditated and cultivated on the side.
Chuchu was not surprised by this at all.
Over the past few days, many strange things had happened to Qin Feng. Now that he was able to cultivate, it was expected, so Chuchu didn’t find it odd.
Inside the room, Qin Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, imrsing his mind in ditation.
Even though his eyes were closed, he could sense green, blue, and white specks of starlight floating around him.
The green specks were wind elental power, the blue specks were thunder elental power, and the white specks were ice elental power.
Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to sense their presence.
If they couldn’t sense them, they couldn’t cultivate.
Only those with a sensing ability above 1 could perceive them and begin cultivating.
This was the threshold to becoming an Elentalist—a barrier that was both simple yet insurmountable.
Qin Feng’s mind was imrsed, and the wind, thunder, and ice elental energies around him surged toward him, madly pouring into his body, flowing to his Shen Ting point, accelerating the formation of his God Seal.
Cultivating three elents at the sa ti, he could absorb all three types of elental power simultaneously without delaying his cultivation progress.
…
anwhile, in the center of Yunyang City, sothing was happening at Lin Xuyang’s ho.
The Lin family was one of the three major wealthy families in Yunyang City.
At that mont, in a luxuriously decorated study, the doors and windows were tightly shut.
Behind the desk sat a man with an imposing presence.
He was Lin Jianhao, the head of the Lin family.
At this mont, he was staring sternly at the two people standing before him.
One was Lin Xuyang, who appeared to be in his twenties.
The other was the middle-aged man with the pale face whom Qin Feng had t before. He was the steward of the Lin family, nad Bai Su, one of Lin Jianhao’s trusted confidants.
“Bai Su, did Zhou Changtong send a ssage after you retrieved the phone?” Lin Jianhao asked coolly.
“Yes, sir! I retrieved the phone at 6:13 PM. The ssage was sent at 6:04 PM,” Bai Su answered truthfully.
Lin Jianhao’s expression darkened a little. “So, the little girl must have seen the ssage?”
Bai Su nodded. “When I got the phone, the ssage status indicated it had been read.”
At these words, Lin Xuyang’s expression turned grim.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Jianhao’s eyes as well.
“Besides that little girl, did anyone else see it?”
“There shouldn’t have been anyone else. She was the only one in the room. She didn’t seem to care. I originally offered her 10,000 Tong coins as a thank-you, but she refused. She seems like a very kind child.”
“Hmph!” Lin Jianhao sneered, “What do you an, ‘kind’? Kindness is sothing that goes against human nature. It only exists when one’s interests aren’t hard or the temptation isn’t great enough.”
“This matter has already been exposed. Two days later, that little girl will definitely know the truth…”
As he spoke, Lin Jianhao glared angrily at Lin Xuyang.
“Useless! Your brother focuses on cultivation and has no ti for family matters. I wanted you to start learning to manage the family business, to handle things independently. But now, you’ve botched your very first task!”
“Dad, I…”
Lin Xuyang was overwheld with sha.
The mistake he made was indeed too elentary—he had lost the phone that was specifically for contacting Zhou Changtong.
“Dad, we’ve already retrieved the phone. That little girl is just a refugee; she doesn’t understand anything… Maybe she didn’t even notice who sent the ssage.”
“Even if she learns sothing in two days, with her status as a refugee, who would believe anything she says?”
Lin Xuyang desperately tried to explain.
“Fool!” Lin Jianhao roared in fury.
“You’re still making excuses for yourself. You couldn’t even handle such a small matter! Both of you are my sons, so why are you so much worse than Tianyang?”
Lin Xuyang silently lowered his head.
There was hidden anger in his eyes.
Every ti he failed to do sothing right, his father would compare him to his elder brother, saying he wasn’t as good.
Why? I’m also your son, but you always look down on !
Just because I don’t have the talent to beco an Elentalist, just because my potential isn’t as great as my brother’s, you always show favoritism!
But I’ve worked hard too! I’ve given it my all!
I even took that dangerous gene serum, but you still haven’t looked at properly.
The more Lin Xuyang thought about it, the angrier he beca. The long-term repression had twisted his mind.
Noticing Lin Xuyang’s dissatisfaction, Lin Jianhao slightly shook his head, feeling a sense of frustration and disappointnt.
He let out a long sigh and spoke earnestly, “Have you ever thought about this? In recent years, our Lin family has developed too quickly, and many rivals are secretly watching us, especially the City Lord. He already sees our Lin family as his biggest rival.”
“In order to give your brother a chance to beco the City Lord in the future, and to give you a chance to beco an Elentalist, we took a risk with this plan.”
“If any information leaks, even if our rivals don’t have solid evidence, they’ll still relentlessly pursue us… And if they uncover the truth, it’ll be a disaster.”
These words made Lin Xuyang pause.
He realized the seriousness of the situation.
Lin Jianhao sighed again. “Although the likelihood of that little girl leaking information is small, it’s still an unnecessary risk…”
“Dad, I understand. I’ll go make arrangents now. I’ll handle this matter properly!”
A killing intent appeared in Lin Xuyang’s eyes.
Lin Jianhao squinted slightly and nodded.
Lin Xuyang gave a respectful farewell and quickly left.
Lin Jianhao had a guess about what Lin Xuyang was going to do, but he didn’t intervene.
So things had to be left for his son to handle on his own.
After Lin Xuyang left, Lin Jianhao lit a cigarette.
He slowly took a few puffs.
“Bai Su!”
“Sir!”
“Follow the Second Young Master in secret and ensure his safety!”
“At your command!”
