Chapter 20 - Murderous Intent From the Lin Family



Qin Feng, on the other hand, meditated 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, immersing his mind in meditation.

Even though his eyes were closed, he could sense green, blue, and white specks of starlight floating around him.

The green specks were wind elemental power, the blue specks were thunder elemental power, and the white specks were ice elemental 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 Elementalist—a barrier that was both simple yet insurmountable.

Qin Feng’s mind was immersed, and the wind, thunder, and ice elemental 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 elements at the same time, he could absorb all three types of elemental power simultaneously without delaying his cultivation progress.

Meanwhile, in the center of Yunyang City, something was happening at Lin Xuyang’s home.

The Lin family was one of the three major wealthy families in Yunyang City.

At that moment, 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 moment, 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 met before. He was the steward of the Lin family, named Bai Su, one of Lin Jianhao’s trusted confidants.

“Bai Su, did Zhou Changtong send a message after you retrieved the phone?” Lin Jianhao asked coolly.

“Yes, sir! I retrieved the phone at 6:13 PM. The message 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 message?”

Bai Su nodded. “When I got the phone, the message 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 mean, ‘kind’? Kindness is something that goes against human nature. It only exists when one’s interests aren’t harmed 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 time 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 overwhelmed with shame.

The mistake he made was indeed too elementary—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 message.”

“Even if she learns something 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 time he failed to do something 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 me!

Just because I don’t have the talent to become an Elementalist, 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 me properly.

The more Lin Xuyang thought about it, the angrier he became. 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 disappointment.

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 become the City Lord in the future, and to give you a chance to become an Elementalist, 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 arrangements 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.

Some 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!”
