Chapter 932 904: Meddlesome Person

Xiao Lin sneered at the current situation, but his eyes were solely focused on Xiao Ya. "Xia Ya, why are you hesitating?"

"Killing you won't let me escape. Dying with a fool like you is worthless." After saying this, he forcefully pulled out the branch, causing Xiao Lin's body to lean slightly forward. A bullet unexpectedly hit the ground near Xiao Ya's foot.

"You're truly ruthless. That shot could have very well turned your worthless mission into reality!" With his left hand pressed against his wound, his eyes sharply swept toward the gun that fired the bullet. "Your bravery almost makes me want to applaud. Didn't you hear what I said earlier?"

With a bang, the bullet pierced through the shooter's head, blowing it apart, perfectly fitting Xiao Lin's command earlier, except this shooter didn't quite match his identity.

Xiao Zhenfeng handed the gun to Master Qin and walked out with a steady stride. Xiao Lin could feel the anger and sorrow radiating from Xiao Ya. He reached out and hooked his fingers around him, pulling him towards himself.

"Do you know why I personally killed this man? He wasn't wrong, but the master's command is like an imperial edict. Regardless of his rank, he made a promise and should take responsibility for it. Understand?"

"Understood!"

Xiao Lin smiled wryly; this old man is quite adept at the Tai Chi technique, playing the ball he kicked back to his court, now putting him at a disadvantage.

"You shouldn't appear in front of us!" Xiao Zhenfeng targeted Xiao Ya with a palm strike, but fortunately, Xiao Lin was prepared and embraced Xiao Ya, preventing him from being injured by the attack, and they both tumbled away to avoid Xiao Zhenfeng's assault.

"You useless person!" His wound became more bloody and red.

"It was a bet, and you admitted to it in front of everyone. Shouldn't you hand over the goods?" Xiao Lin chose to lie on the ground, motionless, not letting Xiao Ya struggle free.

"Go get the Rose Staff!" Xiao Zhenfeng suppressed his anger, unable to unleash it due to Xiao Lin's playful demeanor in front of so many people. "Lao Qin, take the young master back to his room and make him stay there obediently."

"Master Qin, I advise you not to make a move; you can't beat me!" Xiao Lin sat up, pointing at Xiao Ya. "And this person? He didn't kill me, so according to our bet, he must tell me about himself, otherwise the Rose Staff can't be given."

"I'll personally tell you about him; let him take the thing and go!" Xiao Zhenfeng raised an eyebrow, clearly reaching his limit in tolerance, unwilling for Xiao Lin to continue challenging his authority in front of him.

"No way! You'll definitely kill him once I leave, because there's killing intent in your eyes. I managed to protect him, so I won't hand over his life so easily, especially to you."

"Young master!" Lao Qin shouted, glancing at Xiao Zhenfeng, making the latter shiver, while others dared not make a sound.

Xiao Lin's dark eyes were ablaze with fury. He quietly returned Xiao Zhenfeng's stare, showing no sign of backing down. He knew letting go of Xiao Ya now would ensure the Xiao Family's kill order would target him relentlessly, irrespective of one's strength, they'd be doomed by such an order. Xiao Zhenfeng would not let him live, not for any reason, but for the challenge to authority he presented; he'd mark this offense against Xiao Ya due to his absurd behavior, tarnishing the Xiao Family's reputation, which outweighed everything else in importance, although other factors existed, none surpassed this understanding.

"Mind your own business!" Xiao Ya pushed Xiao Lin aside, standing up to unobtrusively block the two people. Tilting his head defiantly, he glared at Xiao Zhenfeng. "Still think I'm an immature child? Just with your bunch, do you think you can handle me? Since I've been abandoned, do it completely. Don't let this fool pester me again. Understand? I won't be merciful next time." Turning to face Xiao Lin sitting on the ground, his chest wound still oozing blood, he frowned. "Don't think you're a saint. I didn't kill you today as a favor, but next time I'll hit the target."

"Oh! Is that so!" Xiao Lin, hands on the ground, laughed heartily. "Then why are you blocking me from him? Protecting me?"

"You're overthinking!"

"Take both back, right now, immediately!"

Xiao Ya couldn't see Xiao Zhenfeng's expression, but Xiao Lin's exaggerated grin appeared when he heard Xiao Zhenfeng's words, turning back incredulously! "What did you say?"

At that moment, someone rushed to Master Qin's side, whispering a few words in his ear, prompting Master Qin to wave his hand, causing people to disperse.

"Master!" Hesitated, unsure if he should speak.

"Speak!"

"Hong Lian and the Rose Staff have been taken away; Flame Swallow was severely injured by the river. The person has left, and currently, it's uncertain if the person and the items are on his boat. Someone claimed to have seen a woman resembling an Angel on that boat. Should we send people to continue tracking?"

"No need!"

A woman like an Angel? Xiao Lin's eyes widened, and he leaped up from the ground, sprinting toward the river, Xiao Ya startled by his movement, quickly giving chase, following instinctively despite his brain's delayed response.

"Do we chase them?" Master Qin asked, not taking any action himself but acknowledging Xiao Lin's accomplished goal.

"Keep tabs on them, then bring the two to see me."

"Including Young Master Xia Ya?" Master Qin inquired tentatively.

"Lao Qin, mind your words."

"Yes!" Master Qin respectfully bowed. "However, from this incident, it seems Young Master Xia Ya doesn't harbor true hatred for the young master; otherwise, he wouldn't have blocked between you two just now."

"I know!" Had Xiao Ya truly intended to kill Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin would have been dead from the branch earlier. Indeed, when Xiao Lin set this gamble, he was also gambling, placing his faith in his rebellious son. Such occurrences won't be permitted a second time.

"Master, I must remind you, once you acknowledge this, the next decade or so might..." (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote on Qidian (qidian.com) for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
