Ling Hanwu watched Chu Yang leave, his gaze filled with admiration and seriousness.
This young man is definitely not simple. At first, he brought him here only because he was the disciple of an old friend and also the successor of his rival.
Thus, Ling Hanwu wanted to see what this young man was like. The reason was that this young man's actions truly made him like him, especially when he used beauty to lure and kill the wealthy; it was truly refreshing!
You like beautiful women, don't you? I'll make you die because of beauty!
For a lecher, this was undoubtedly the most satisfying way to die!
But after contact, he realized that this young man's terrifying potential was far beyond his estimations. Yet, until today, he realized he had still underestimated him!
A terrifying person!
After a long silence, he asked, “Frost'er, do you like that woman?”
The young man lowered his head and remained silent.
Ling Hanwu said, “So you want to kill Chu Yang?”
The young man still did not speak.
Ling Hanwu disregarded him and continued, “Moreover, you already have a plan? About to make a move?”
The young man slightly raised his head but still said nothing.
Ling Hanwu coldly said, “I won't interfere with you, nor will I stop you. Young people must experience some hardships, even if those hardships involve their own lives! You can do as you wish, but if you succeed, then it's his bad luck; if you die, it's your bad luck.”
“The Ling Clan has nothing to do with this.”
Ling Hanwu stood up and returned to his room.
A supreme master considered for a moment and followed him out: “Second Master, isn’t this sending Frost'er to his death? The opponent is unfathomable and already on guard. Today’s events are essentially a warning to us; once Frost'er makes a move, they will absolutely show no mercy.”
Ling Hanwu coldly said, “You are right. The other party has already issued a warning; this warning is a face-saving gesture for us. Otherwise, they could have acted directly! My relationship with his master is such that if he can kill and chooses not to, that is enough to settle the debt! So, after this warning, if Frost'er makes a move, he will surely die!”
“But as Chu Yang said, all those who covet beauty and wish to snatch and kill will die, and they should not complain! Our Ling family has such people, and I, Ling Hanwu, find it very shameful! I only regret not being able to intervene myself; if he seeks death, then so be it!”
After Ling Hanwu finished speaking coldly, he turned to enter his room.
He left behind one sentence: “If anyone wants to help him and dies, it has nothing to do with the Ling family! Even if the Great Protector blames us, just blame me. If anyone seeks revenge over this matter, they must first step over my corpse!”
The supreme master was left dumbfounded.
He sighed softly and murmured, “Young people are full of vigor; how can Frost'er not be moved? Although wanting to kill Chu Yang is somewhat excessive, Second Master’s temper should indeed change… Shouldn’t one treat their family members differently from those lecherous outsiders?”
…
In the room, Chu Yang walked in, and mist appeared around him. In a moment, his clothes were clean and fresh as he sat calmly at the table and said, “Do you want to act yourself?”
Zixie Qing coldly replied, “That guy, what a grandson of the Great Protector, inheriting the lineage… He actually wants to use medicine to capture Le'er and threaten you, then send someone to ambush and kill you, taking over my position! This plan is truly vicious. I didn’t expect this guy to say nothing but be so cunning.”
That guy was Du Hanshuang, the grandson of Du Mochou, the current Great Protector of the Ling Clan; he came out this time purely for experience.
In order to pursue martial arts, Du Mochou never married, but as he grew older, he felt the lineage was difficult to continue, so he took in a grandson, changing his surname to Du.
In fact, many families do this.
Du Hanshuang had been enchanted by Zixie Qing's beauty for days. After much hesitation and struggle, he finally decided to take action. He gathered his confidants and conspired in his room.
