"Dad...that person seems to be the eldest son of the Song family in Jingzhou."
Liu Changyuan looked at Song Juncheng, and sure enough, he matched the Song Juncheng in his memory; "It really is him, then the injured one must be Song Zhigang."
"He was hiding it so well at Tunghai University, how could he be so careless?"
"Dad...is that Xiao Chen?"
Upon seeing Xiao Chen, Liu Changyuan realized who had exposed Song Zhigang's location—it could only be Xiao Chen.
"This...this Xiao Chen is really Wang Yannian's disciple, capable of repaying kindness with enmity."
"What else is he incapable of? Xiao Hui's grandfather died trying to save him. I heard from Xiao Hui that he abandoned her grandfather and ran away."
"Dad, what should we do now?"
Liu Changyuan smiled wryly, "What should I do? I know what to do. How can a section chief like me get involved in the Song family's internal affairs?"
Just then, a voice rang out beside the three of them, almost causing Liu Changyuan to fall off the wall.
"Director Liu, I didn't expect you to be so selective in your dealings. You dare to come here and try to steal people from me when I have no connections, but you don't even dare to speak when you encounter someone with a strong background."
"Who?!" Liu Changyuan shouted excitedly, then saw Su Lin standing to the side, and he was somewhat shocked.
He was a grandmaster after all, and he didn't even know when Su Lin appeared next to him, let alone so close.
Xiao Chen was the first to spot Su Lin. He quickly assessed the situation and then abandoned Song Juncheng, fleeing in a frenzy.
"Brother Cheng, I'm sorry, that Su Lin is here to kill me, I'll be going now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen's figure had already disappeared.
This series of bizarre moves even caused the three people who were engaged in fierce combat to stop, somewhat taken aback.
Song Juncheng's face froze on the spot. He never expected that Xiao Chen would run away without doing anything after seeing Su Lin.
"Pfft! So this is the successor of the Ghost Doctor? What a coward who's afraid of death."
Liu Changyuan patted Liu Xiao'e's head; "Xiao'e, don't talk nonsense."
The three fought fiercely again. Song Zhigang was on the verge of collapse. His steps were already unsteady, and he was slapped several times in a row. Blood was spurting out as if it were free.
Su Lin flew down and stood between the three of them.
He casually clapped his hands out twice.
The two guest elders of the Song family changed their expressions drastically. Such a young Grandmaster at the late stage was unbelievable.
The two retreated more than ten meters, their eyes fixed on Su Lin.
Ignoring the stares of the others, Su Lin looked at Song Zhigang and said calmly, "I need another thug. Are you willing to be one? If so, I'll spare your life today."
"Pfft!!"
"Cough cough..."
Song Zhigang gave a bitter laugh; "I'm already like this, do you think I can still be your henchman?"
Su Lin nodded; "Even if I die, I'd still want you to be me."
"You just need to agree or disagree now."
"I..."
"Su Lin, are you disregarding the Song family by protecting him like this?" Song Juncheng said angrily.
"Noisy".
Su Lin struck out with his palm.
"Young Master, be careful!!!"
Song Juncheng immediately took a defensive stance. Although he was not yet a Grandmaster, he was only half a step away from it, and he felt that he could block this palm strike.
But as soon as he made contact with the palm strike, he realized he was wrong.
"Pfft!!"
Song Juncheng was sent flying backward and crashed into the wall; his fate is unknown.
Su Lin looked at Song Zhigang: "Now that no one is bothering us, what's your decision?"
Song Zhigang said with a wry smile, "You coming to me is really not a good choice. The Song family won't let me off the hook."
Su Lin said calmly, "You don't need to worry about these things. My patience is limited."
"Young Master Su, I can be your henchman, but you have to promise me that I'll take Song Zhiming's dog life."
Su Lin nodded; "No problem."
"From today onwards, my life, Song Zhigang's life, belongs to you."
Su Lin nodded in satisfaction.
His purpose in taking Song Zhigang as his subordinate was simple: this guy was a grateful person, just like Chen Yang. He either wouldn't side with anyone, or if he did, he would help them wholeheartedly.
In the original novel, Xiao Chen relied entirely on Song Zhigang to support him as he ventured into Jingzhou.
Moreover, this guy has exceptional talent. He cultivated on his own without any resources and became a Grandmaster in his forties, excelling in both internal and external cultivation. Such talent is more terrifying than that of countless other Grandmasters.

"How exactly did Su Lin cultivate? He jumped from the early stage of Grandmaster to the late stage in just a few days. If he continues to cultivate at this speed, won't he become the youngest land immortal in the country?" Liu Changyuan said with a look of horror.
"Dad, are you sure you're not mistaken? Su Lin is already a late-stage Grandmaster?" Liu Xiao'e asked in disbelief.
Liu Changyuan nodded: "That's right. Your father is a grandmaster after all, so he would never be wrong. If Su Lin's bone age wasn't only eighteen, I would have suspected that he was some kind of old monster."
At this point, Liu Changyuan looked at Su Lin with some concern. Although he had used a bunch of treasures to protect Zhong Shuhui, he had also offended Su Lin.
The thought of offending a promising grandmaster for the sake of an old friend made Liu Changyuan feel a headache coming on.
When the two grandmasters of the Song family saw Song Juncheng being sent flying, they rushed forward to check on his injuries.
One of them put his hand to Song Juncheng's nose to check his breath. He said hoarsely, "His breathing is weak. He could die at any time if he doesn't receive timely treatment."
"Send the eldest son to get medical treatment first."
"Okay!!"
The two men carried Song Juncheng and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Su Lin said, "Did I let you leave?"
After saying that, he casually tossed a Seven-Turn Rejuvenation Pill to Song Zhigang; "This thing can save your life."
Song Zhigang smelled the pill and was immediately shaken. He knew it was a rare and precious medicine, so he swallowed it without hesitation.
Seeing this, Su Lin looked at the two Grandmasters of the Song family: "You can come and go as you please?"
The two grandmasters were immediately put in a bind. It seemed that Su Lin had no intention of letting things go peacefully. Their chances of winning against Su Lin were slim.
The two grandmasters exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes, and instantly scattered and fled.
But Su Lin wasn't about to let them escape so easily.
He flicked his fingers, and two silver needles appeared in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he shot out two Yang Flame Needles.
The two grandmasters froze in mid-air, then coughed up blood and fled again, this time faster and more decisively. The grandmaster who was holding Song Juncheng threw Song Juncheng to the ground and ran away as fast as he could.
"We just let them get away like that?" Liu Xiao'e muttered softly.
Liu Changyuan sighed; "Mr. Su didn't tell them to escape, but to go and deliver a message. Both of them were on their last breath. When they got to the Song family, they lost their strength and died."
"Ah~!! This... isn't he afraid that the Song family will come to Dongguan to seek revenge?" Liu Xiao'e exclaimed.
Liu Changyuan glanced at Song Zhigang, who was meditating to heal his injuries: "I'm afraid that's exactly what he's planning. This time, the successor of the Ghost Doctor has offended someone extraordinary. Given Su Lin's growth rate, even if the Ghost Doctor himself came, he would probably be defeated. Xiao'e, we should stay out of these kinds of conflicts in the East China Sea in the future."
"Ah~! Dad, you're the director of the Donghai office! If you don't take care of things, won't Donghai be in chaos?"
Liu Changyuan smiled wryly and said, "Even if I were to take charge, Donghai would be in chaos. I will report the situation here truthfully, and leave the rest to the higher-ups to decide."
"Oh! So what do we do now?"
"What else can we do but collect the body? That Song Juncheng is probably dead. We'll collect it later and send it to the Song family."
After saying that, he added, "I used to think that Xiao Chen was too cowardly, but now it seems that he has been traumatized by what he learned before."
Seeing Liu Changyuan go to collect the body, Su Lin looked at Song Zhigang beside him and asked, "Can we leave now?"
Song Zhigang opened his eyes, his complexion much better; "Yes, this pill is very miraculous. It stabilized my internal injuries in just a few minutes and is still healing them. I estimate that I will be fully recovered in a few days, and I might even be able to reach a higher level. I never expected that this would turn out to be a blessing in disguise."
Su Lin laughed and said, "How do you know it's not like jumping from one fire pit into another? You should know that my opponents are not only Xiao Chen, but also that Ghost Doctor."
Song Zhigang said calmly, "I've already died once, and the rest of my life has been nothing more than a struggle to survive. In a way, I should thank you, but I don't know why you brought the Song family here?"
Su Lin laughed and said, "Of course, it's to kill your heartless brother and put you in power."
"Um?"
Song Zhigang paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Su, I really don't know what it is about me that makes you value me so much, that you're willing to make an enemy of the entire Song family."
Su Lin laughed loudly, "Song Zhigang, you've misunderstood. I only value your character a small part of it. What I really value is the Song family's resources. As the number one family in Jingzhou, supporting my girlfriends' cultivation shouldn't be a problem."
Song Zhigang then understood Su Lin's true intentions.
He not only wanted to be Su Lin's henchman, but also wanted the entire Song family to provide resources for Su Lin's several female confidantes to cultivate.
