Li Wendao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He looked at Su Lin and said, "Then I'll take the liberty of calling you by your name. Are you here to see the young lady?"
Su Lin nodded: "I heard she's been put in solitary confinement and no one is answering her phone, so I was worried and came to check on her. The Li family has so many rooms, do you know which room Ziyu is in?"
Li Wendao hesitated upon hearing this, unsure whether he should tell Su Lin.
Seeing his hesitation, Su Lin smiled and asked, "What should I call you?"
"Li Wendao, you can just call him by his given name."
"Li Wendao, if you refuse to tell me Ziyu's room, I'll go looking for her room one by one. That would cause trouble. Your Li family's Grandmaster shouldn't be in the manor. Do you think those good-for-nothings can stop me? You might as well just tell me. I'll go have a chat with Ziyu and then leave. I don't care about anything else in your Li family."
Hearing Su Lin's words, Li Wendao felt much more at ease.
He knew that Su Lin's words were just a verbal promise and had no effect whatsoever, but they gave him some comfort. Otherwise, Su Lin could have ignored them and searched for them one by one, which would have caused a real mess.
He knew that Su Lin had defeated a Grandmaster in just a few moves.
"The young lady is in the last room on the third floor on the left side of the inner courtyard. That is the family's confinement room. She is there now."
Su Lin nodded: "Okay, I'm going to find her. Keep an eye on her for me 々々."
Li Wendao was speechless. In the middle of the night, Su Lin came to meet their young lady in secret, and he was supposed to keep watch? What kind of situation was this?
Before Li Wendao could speak, Su Lin lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew directly to the rooftop, then disappeared with another tap.
Li Wendao's pupils contracted. This was definitely ancient martial arts. Traditional Chinese martial arts could also achieve this, but it would be like a cannonball that explodes and leaves a crater.
"This must be the legendary lightness skill. It's truly amazing. No wonder he was able to defeat a grandmaster at such a young age. He must be practicing ancient martial arts." Li Wendao muttered to himself, then looked around to make sure no one was around before walking back into the manor.
In the Li family's confinement room, Li Ziyu was playing Go against herself; she had already been in the confinement room for a day.
She had already prepared a backup plan for the company's affairs, so she wasn't worried at all.
Without realizing it, I started thinking of Su Lin.
Thinking back to how Su Lin initially managed to outmaneuver her, and how he later displayed astonishing martial prowess, Li Ziyu realized that Su Lin was indeed a mystery. The information she had gathered was only scratching the surface; no one knew how truly powerful Su Lin was.
"Strange, why did I suddenly think of Su Lin?"
"Ziyu...were you just saying you missed me?"
Hearing Su Lin's familiar voice, Li Ziyu was startled, then immediately turned around. She didn't expect Su Lin to be standing behind her.
Seeing the incredulous look in Li Ziyu's eyes, Su Lin smiled and said, "What, you can't believe it?"
Li Ziyu quickly recovered and shook her head: "It's not that I can't believe it. I'm a little surprised that you did this, but it's definitely your style."
Su Lin laughed and said, "I heard you were in solitary confinement, so I came to see you. I didn't expect to hear someone say they were thinking of me."
Li Ziyu's pretty face flushed slightly, but not noticeably. She looked at Su Lin and said, "I was just wondering if you would continue to chase after Xiao Chen. He went out this afternoon, and I don't know where he went."
Su Lin laughed and said, "Even though you've been put in solitary confinement, you still know so much about the family's affairs. Ziyu, you're really something else."
Li Ziyu smiled slightly and looked at Su Lin, saying, "Compared to you, what am I? You are the truly extraordinary one."
"Eighteen-year-old Grandmasters are probably few and far between even in the capital."
Su Lin shook his head and said solemnly, "You're wrong. The fact that there are few Grandmasters in the East Sea only means that the resources here are not good. I guarantee that by the time we go to the capital, Grandmasters will be everywhere there."
"us?"
Faced with Li Ziyu's question, Su Lin smiled and said, "Of course it's us. Don't forget, we're partners."
After saying that, he sat down next to Li Ziyu, the two of them very close. Su Lin smiled and asked, "When do you plan to make your move? Do you need any help?"
Li Ziyu thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "I haven't decided what to do yet. If nothing unexpected happens, I don't need your help. But I'm worried that Xiao Chen will get involved. If it's a power struggle, Xiao Chen will definitely be on my grandfather's side, and then a violent conflict will break out."
"Then I'll help you out?"
Li Ziyu shook her head: "Although I have decided to break with my grandfather, I do not intend to kill him. After all, he is still my grandfather."
"Hehe, Ziyu, you don't want to kill him, but he might not necessarily not kill you. I've heard that all the girls in your Li family are quite beautiful, and your father is very fertile. If your grandfather really arranges a marriage between Xiao Chen and another woman, he'll most likely abandon you."
"I'm overjoyed that he's making a change."
Su Lin sneered, "Ziyu, you still don't understand your grandfather. If someone can't be used by him, can't bring him any benefits, and even poses a huge threat to him, then he would be willing to kill even his own son."
"The power you have shown in the Li family has far exceeded his expectations. I think your grandfather is already wary of you at this point."
Li Ziyu's heart skipped a beat when she heard Su Lin's words, and then she fell silent.
"You also realized that what I said was possible, didn't you?"
"So if he really wants to arrange a marriage with someone else, he will definitely target you."
"From the moment you chose to rebel, you embarked on a path with no other choice."
Su Lin's words were harsh, but realistic, and Li Ziyu knew that Su Lin was right.
She said with a touch of sadness, "Does it really have to go that far?"
Su Lin nodded: "There's still room for negotiation before there's any resistance. But now that you've shown such great strength, your grandfather won't talk to you anymore. You can only move forward."
Li Ziyu looked at Su Lin helplessly, then hugged his arm and leaned against him; "If that's the case, I don't think I'll be happy either, Su Lin. Please don't interfere until the very last step, okay?"
Following his gaze, Su Lin could see Li Ziyu's fair swan neck, flawless. She was dressed very lightly, in just a white dress, and the veins under her skin were clearly visible. Su Lin composed himself and nodded: "Okay! I will not interfere until the very last step."
"Su Lin... thank you."
Su Lin laughed and said, "Why thank me? When you take control of the family, you'll have to repay me. That Xiao Chen might attract even more powerful families, so you'll have to be there to protect him."
"Hmm~!! We'll kill him together then."
Hearing Li Ziyu's emotionless words, Su Lin laughed; "Alright! Let's kill him together."
After an unknown amount of time, Su Lin heard some commotion downstairs. At that moment, Li Wendao arrived. He strode upstairs and said anxiously, "Su Lin, hurry up! The patriarch has suddenly returned for some reason, along with two Grandmasters."
"Two Grandmasters? Did they go out to fight?" Su Lin asked in surprise.
"I don't know (about the money), but I definitely can't stay at the Li family's manor."
Su Lin nodded, said goodbye to Li Ziyu, and then gracefully flew away.
Looking at Su Lin's graceful lightness skill, Li Wendao was filled with envy once again.
Only after Su Lin disappeared did Li Ziyu turn to Li Wendao and ask, "What exactly happened?"
"Xiao Chen got into a fight with several unidentified people in the morgue. The patriarch found out and sent people to rescue them. They are on their way home now."
Li Ziyu frowned: "They're fighting again. What a jinx! He causes trouble wherever he goes."
Li Ziyu knew what Xiao Chen was doing at the morgue. Since neither she nor Su Lin had made a move, it must have been someone else who had.
Do you know which side they're on?
Li Wendao shook his head: "I can't guess. They are all ruthless and independent individuals with no connections. They are all on the official wanted list."
"Who... is behind this? What's the deal with Xiao Chen? Why is Su Lin so determined to kill him? The assassin group is also looking for him, and the Qin family wants to kill him too. What did he do?"
Li Wendao looked blank, thinking to himself, "If you don't know, what can I know? We martial artists are always thinking about how to cultivate and how to break through, we don't have the mind to care about these things."
Li Ziyu realized that talking to Li Wendao about this was like casting pearls before swine, so she had no choice but to let him leave.
167 Bizarre Sleeping Positions [Please Subscribe]
Back at the apartment, Su Lin witnessed an extremely erotic scene: Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu were sleeping in each other's arms. Lin Xiaowan's sleeping position was never fixed, and Xia Shiyu's wasn't much better. Both of them had sweet smiles on their faces. Su Lin began to suspect that something might have happened between Lin Xiaowan and Xia Shiyu while he was away.
Tsk tsk....
In the end, he didn't continue thinking about it; neither of them were the type to do such a thing.
The two women had taken a taxi from Zhongjiang today and hadn't rested much along the way. Su Lin didn't want to wake them, so she took a shower and lay down in a nearby empty space.
The next morning, Lin Xiaowan was the first to wake up. She subconsciously wrinkled her nose, as if she were holding something extraordinary.
Then she opened her eyes and saw that she was hugging Su Lin's calf, and that she was resting her head on his feet.
Lin Xiaowan frowned, sniffed, and felt that there was a certain smell lingering in her nostrils.
Lin Xiaowan pushed Su Lin's feet aside with disgust, then propped herself up to sit up, only to find two fair thighs resting on her stomach.
She then remembered that she had slept with Xia Shiyu last night, but she didn't know when Su Lin came back and was sleeping in the bed.
Seeing Su Lin's proper sleeping posture, Lin Xiaowan knew that it must have been because she and Xia Shiyu had been moving around, which resulted in the current situation.
But why was she the one being pinned down? She pushed Xia Shiyu away.
Xia Shiyu woke up groggily, rubbing her sleepy eyes. "Xiao Wan... what are you doing in my bed?"
Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Xia Shiyu, then ruffled her hair; "Think about it carefully."
"Ah~~! Oh, I remember 807, didn't we say we'd meditate and cultivate together? How did you fall asleep?" Xia Shiyu rubbed her eyes, her vision gradually becoming clearer.
"You're asking me? Who should I ask?"
Lin Xiaowan recalled what happened last night. It was the first time for both of them to finish their martial arts training, so they were both very curious and agreed to practice together. However, while they were practicing, Xia Shiyu yawned and looked sleepy. Lin Xiaowan, who was originally full of energy, saw Xia Shiyu yawn and yawned as well. Then the two of them fell asleep.
Sleepiness is indeed contagious.
"When did Su... Su Lin return?"
Lin Xiaowan shook her head; "I don't know, but it must have been past midnight, otherwise he would have definitely woken us up. Xiaoyu, let's go look at villas today, preferably one that's ready to move into."
Xia Shiyu nodded; "Okay!"
She knew that Lin Xiaowan disliked this situation. She could be relaxed when she was with Su Lin, but she couldn't stand it if there were other women around, even if that woman was her best friend.
The two got up quietly, not making too much noise so as not to wake Su Lin.
