Li Ziyu remained silent.
Just as Su Lin said, if he had brought a Grandmaster along, Su Lin could have dealt with Xiao Chen much faster.
He would probably be gone in a single encounter.
Su Lin opened the car door and got in: "Let's drive back!!"
"Um."
"Su Lin, we can't keep tonight's events from Grandpa any longer," Li Ziyu said with some regret.
Su Lin laughed and said, "No problem. That Grandmaster is definitely going to die, which means we've gotten rid of a good helper for Xiao Chen."
"Mmm~!" Li Ziyu glanced at Su Lin, and at this moment she began to be genuinely curious about him.
Su Lin seemed to have a knack for predicting the future and had a very good grasp of everything. He was an enigmatic man.
Su Lin wasn't upset about not killing Xiao Chen. After all, there would be plenty of opportunities to step on the protagonist, so why rush it?
"Drive carefully. Although I'm very handsome, don't look at me while driving, or you might end up with a fatal accident," Su Lin said calmly.
Li Ziyu asked, somewhat bewildered, "Wasn't it supposed to be two lives lost in one car?"
Su Lin chuckled and said, "If the car crashes, you'll definitely die, but I'll definitely be fine."
"Uh... okay."
"Also, don't look at people secretly in the future. If you want to look at someone, just look at them openly."
A blush of pink suddenly appeared on Li Ziyu's small ear.
Su Lin found the beautiful woman's shy demeanor quite adorable, so he simply sat down in the chair and began to admire her.
"Su...Su Lin, you told me not to look at you, but you keep staring at me like this?"
Su Lin laughed and said, "I don't drive, so of course I don't need to look at the road."
How annoying! Su Lin is absolutely right.
"I... I can't concentrate on driving when you're looking at me like that," Li Ziyu said anxiously.
For some reason, she found herself stuttering a little when she spoke to Su Lin. It was probably because Su Lin was a Grandmaster that she suddenly felt a huge sense of pressure.
"Okay, you drive safely, I'm going to take a break."
"Um...where do you live?"
Su Lin thought for a moment and said, "Take me to Quanlegou, it's right by the time you pass by there."
"Staying in a supermarket? I might as well arrange a place for you to stay."

"You're going to arrange this? Forget it. You should think about how to face your grandfather. That old man is definitely dead. His identity probably wasn't simple."
"What does this have to do with me? I didn't kill him. Xiao Chen killed my brother, so it was only right for me to take action against him. What's there to be ashamed of?"
On the other side, the middle-aged man led Xiao Chen and Zhong Xincheng on a wild run for dozens of miles before stopping on a small hill.
Xiao Chen was covered in injuries, and his clothes were tattered and in a pitiful state, but he didn't have time to care about his injuries. He rushed to Zhong Xincheng's side immediately: "Old Zhong, Old Zhong."
Seeing that Zhong Xincheng was unconscious and unable to say a word, Xiao Chen had no choice but to check Zhong Xincheng's injuries.
A fist-sized hole had exploded in Zhong Xincheng's shoulder, and the surrounding flesh was charred, with the charred area spreading rapidly.
"No need to look anymore. Old Zhong's shoulder is completely necrotic, and his internal organs have also suffered considerable damage. What you need to do now is wake him up and ask for his last words."
Xiao Chen looked at the middle-aged man's last words and shook his head, crying: "No... impossible, this is impossible. Elder Zhong was a grandmaster, how could he die?"
The middle-aged man sighed, "The opponent is a grandmaster, and he's still very young. The silver needles he fired were imbued with scorching true energy. Combined with the intense heat generated by the needles shooting through the air, the heat directly burned away Elder Zhong's flesh."
"Who is that person? Who is he?"
The middle-aged man shook his head; "I don't know 800, and I don't know when such a person appeared in Donghai. But kid, if you don't wake up Old Zhong soon, he won't even have the chance to say his last words."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen began administering acupuncture, inserting more than a dozen needles into Zhong Xincheng's body, after which Zhong Xincheng slowly woke up.
"I... cough cough..."
"Mr. Zhong, please tell me if there is anything else you would like to say, or if there are any unfulfilled wishes you have."
Zhong Xincheng tried to speak upon hearing this, but when he grimaced, blood flowed from his mouth.
Do you have any last words?
"I... take care of... my granddaughter..."
"....."
"Mr. Zhong, what did you say? What are you saying...?"
The middle-aged man looked at Zhong Xincheng's gruesome death and shook his head: "He's already dead."
"That young man is skilled in both internal and external martial arts, and he has also practiced ancient martial arts. He is a rare grandmaster in this world. Kid, although I promised your master to save your life, I did not promise your master to avenge you. Now I will give you two choices: one, I will send you to see Li Weifeng; two, I will send you back to your master. Which one do you choose?"
Xiao Chen sat silently on the ground, and after a long while, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "You mean if I go to the Li family, I will surely die?"
"There is virtually no chance of survival."
"Take me to see Li Weifeng."
"Sigh...why are you doing this?"
Xiao Chen grinned upon hearing this: "I'm a bit stubborn. Sometimes I know there's danger in doing things, but I still want to do them."
"That young man is certainly impressive, but I'm not one to be trifled with either."
Just now in the hotel, Xiao Chen received the inheritance of the first needle of the Taiyi Divine Needle.
He was confident that as long as he mastered the first needle of the Taiyi Divine Needle, Su Lin would be no match for him, and he would definitely be able to take revenge.
"Sir, do you know that person's name?"
The middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Chen with some surprise, then smiled and said, "His name is Su Lin, he is Su Zhenguo's son, and that's all I know."
"Keep going, maybe you really can do it!!"

As expected of the protagonist, Xiao Chen managed to compose himself in just a few minutes. He knew that Zhong Xincheng was dead, and there was no point in being sad anymore.
He stood up, looked at the incredibly powerful middle-aged man in front of him, and asked, "Uncle, I still don't know your name."
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "I am just a teacher at Donghai University. I am doing what I was asked to do, so you don't need to know my name."
When Xiao Chen was on the mountain, he heard Wang Yannian say that there were many reclusive masters in the world, and perhaps the person in front of him was one of them.
"You don't need to care who I am. Instead, you need to pay attention to this Mr. Zhong. He's already dead, and he only had one granddaughter who's a sophomore at my university. I think I don't need to say anything more; you know what to do, right?"
Xiao Chen nodded. Zhong Xincheng died protecting him, so he had to take care of his granddaughter no matter what.
...
When the car arrived in front of Quanlegou, Su Lin didn't get out immediately. Instead, he looked at Li Ziyu and said, "There should be a big show waiting for you at your house tonight. Do you need me to help you keep things in order?"
Su Lin is a Grandmaster, albeit only at the initial stage, but other Grandmasters can't last more than a few moves against him. So, it's not just empty talk that he's there to keep Li Ziyu in check.
All he had to do was exude an aura of power and sit there, and no one would dare to do anything to Li Ziyu.
Li Ziyu shook her head; "After all, it's your family background. It would be inconvenient to trouble you. Besides, you've already helped me enough. You even saved my life today. I don't know how to repay you."
Su Lin laughed and said, "Saving you was just a side thing. I'm a chivalrous person, and I couldn't bear to see such a beautiful girl like you die like this."
"Is that so?" Li Ziyu glanced at Su Lin.
She was willing to bet that Su Lin had definitely considered giving up on her and killing Xiao Chen tonight. Although she didn't know what grudge the two had against each other, Su Lin's intention to kill Xiao Chen was absolutely genuine.
As for why they didn't chase after them in the end, Li Ziyu felt it must be due to other issues.
"Of course, you've investigated me quite thoroughly, and I believe you have some understanding of my character."
Li Ziyu looked at Su Lin; "So you want me to be by your side without any official status, just like your other girlfriends?"
"Cough cough cough... If I could, I certainly wouldn't mind having another stunning beauty by my side."
"You really don't care at all what other people think of you. Are you just thick-skinned or reckless?"
"I think it's the latter. You have the confidence to disregard the rules, Su Lin. I wish I were as powerful as you."
Su Lin laughed and said, "One day you can be as strong as me."
"But that day was too long..."
"Alright, since you don't need my help, I'll go upstairs to sleep now. See you again sometime 々々." Su Lin waved.
Li Ziyu nodded: "See you again sometime."
...
When Li Ziyu returned home, she indeed saw Li Weifeng, who looked furious, in the courtyard. When he saw Li Ziyu, Li Ziyu was also looking at him.
He never imagined that Li Ziyu would secretly kill her chosen fiancé, even though Xiao Chen had killed Li Ziyan.
However, in his eyes, Li Ziyan was just a good-for-nothing who couldn't afford to pay up. He thought he was playing dumb to fool others, but little did he know that everyone in his family had seen through his intentions.
What truly enraged Li Weifeng was that Li Ziyu could summon six martial arts masters. Li Ziyu was merely the eldest daughter of the family, yet she had summoned these six men without a word. The importance of martial arts masters to the family was self-evident, and they were summoned away with just a word from Li Ziyu, without anyone informing her. This showed that she had lost a significant amount of control over the family.
Li Ziyu had already seen Li Weifeng's anger, but at the same time, she felt very calm because she had no expectations of Li Weifeng anymore, and without expectations, there was no anger.
