Dashing Student

Upon learning of the Ma Family's misfortune and that his second uncle had been killed by a Tibetan Mastiff, Lin Yu stood petrified as if struck by lightning, his eyes wide open, pupils filled with unrestrainable shock and fear.

"How could this happen?"

He murmured to himself, his voice dry and hoarse as if all strength had been drained from him.

His legs went weak, almost collapsing to the ground, he could only steady himself by reaching out to grasp the nearby table.

His mind was in utter chaos, the sound and image of his second uncle's smiling face kept flashing before his eyes, yet the cruel reality forced him to confront this sudden tragic news.

"No, this can't be possible!" Lin Yu shook his head fiercely, as though trying to cast out this dreadful news from his thoughts.

He paced back and forth in the room with hurried, panicky steps, muttering continuously, "Who did this? Why at this time..."

"Young Master, do you think it could be Chen Nan who did this?" Han Lu moved closer to Lin Yu with graceful steps, her voice very low, as if mentioning that name might invite catastrophe.

Lin Yu, who had been lost in his frantic thoughts, was jolted by Han Lu's sudden question, his eyes rapidly shrinking, revealing a hint of deep fear.

The mysterious and enigmatic figure of Chen Nan, along with the terrifying Gu Technique he commanded, raced through his mind like lightning.

If it was indeed Chen Nan's doing, everything would make sense.

That guy was a master of the Gu Technique, his methods were bizarre, killing invisibly. Even the seemingly tight security of the Ma Family could amount to nothing against his Gu, leaving them utterly defenseless.

With that thought, Lin Yu's eyes grew colder. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger and fear within him, and quickly reached into his pocket to take out his cell phone.

With his connections and means in the Provincial City, getting Chen Nan's number was not difficult; though he had never dialed it before, he now did so without hesitation.

Looking at the contact marked "A Man Bound to Die" in his phone, Lin Yu's mouth curved into a bitter smile, filled with irony.

All this time, he had considered Chen Nan as good as dead, yet now, the tables had abruptly turned, and it was he himself who found himself in a position of passivity and crisis.

Seeing Young Master Lin making a phone call, Han Lu tactfully left the study.

This was the awareness of a secretary!

"Chen, what exactly do you want?" As soon as the call connected, Lin Yu could no longer restrain the fury in his heart, yelling into the receiver.

On the other end of the phone.

Chen Nan sat relaxed in the car, with a slight smile on his lips that was intriguing, he had long expected Lin Yu to make this call.

"My intentions are quite simple, I want the Ma Family destroyed, their lineage eradicated!" Chen Nan's voice was deep and resolute, each word landing on Lin Yu's heart like a heavy hammer.

"There's a debtor for every debt, the Ma Family is innocent!" Lin Yu clenched his teeth, forcing the words through them, his hands gripping the phone so tightly his knuckles turned white.

"Hmph!" Chen Nan let out a cold laugh, a chilling sound as if it came straight from the Nine Netherworld: "I've always believed that when an avalanche occurs, not a single snowflake is innocent!"

His tone was filled with finality, leaving no room for negotiation, as if proclaiming to Lin Yu that the fate of the Ma Family was already in his control, beyond redemption.

"I will make you feel the pain of losing a loved one!" Chen Nan said and hung up the phone.

Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Lin Yu slumped onto the sofa, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

If it were anyone else who said such words, he would never believe it.

But he was acutely aware of Chen Nan's methods!

Just as Lin Yu's face was clouded with gloom, sinking into despair, Han Lu appeared in the study wearing high heels, her figure gracefully poised. She slightly bowed and respectfully said, "Young Master, there is someone who wishes to see you!"

"I'm not in the mood for visitors right now!" Lin Yu burst out with an intense aura of resentment, as his mind was fully occupied by Chen Nan's words; he had no interest in meeting guests!

Han Lu swallowed nervously, lowered her head slightly, and said, "The person comes from the Qinling Mountain Range, and is the chief disciple of Hu Sandao, Hu Ba!"

Upon hearing this.

Surprise that couldn't be concealed flashed through Lin Yu's angry eyes, his gaze suddenly brightened, then turned into a look of ecstasy, as if he saw a glimmer of light in the darkness. He had never expected that Hu Sandao's chief disciple would appear.

"Quick, quick, quick, lead me to welcome the esteemed guest!" Lin Yu, repressing the excitement in his heart, stood up. He had just been worrying about Chen Nan and feared that after Chen Nan destroyed the Ma Family, he would turn his hands against him.

What he did not expect was that Hu Sandao's chief disciple would show up at this critical moment.

Although Lin Yu had never met Hu Ba, he had heard of him. Hu Ba was the most formidable amongst all of Hu Sandao's disciples.

Having already reached the peak of Grandmaster Level cultivation, he was just one step away from becoming a Great Grandmaster!

Lin Yu believed that once Hu Sandao was willing to help him, even if Chen Nan found his family, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Yu quickly followed Han Lu and headed for the living room.

His steps were hurried and carried a trace of excitement; every step seemed to land on the beat of hope.

Before stepping into the living room, he saw a tall and burly figure standing there.

Hu Ba's stature was like a mountain, broad-shouldered and stout, resembling a majestic hillock, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.

Standing there silently, he seemed to occupy the entire space, making it impossible to ignore him.

He was dressed in a black tight-fitting outfit, the taut fabric outlining his iron-like, sturdy muscle lines—each muscle seemed to contain endless strength, ready to burst out with astonishing power at any moment.

Hu Ba's facial features were sharply defined, as if chiseled by a knife, radiating an air of ruggedness.

Under his thick eyebrows, a pair of tiger-like, bright eyes were sharp as an eagle's, piercing as if they could see through people's hearts, making others dare not meet his gaze.

His short, stiff hair stood up, adding a few more touches of boldness and heroism, as if he were a hero straight out of a martial arts novel.

Lin Yu's face was beaming with a smile, he stepped forward briskly, cupped his hands together, and respectfully said, "I've long admired the great name of Hero Hu. It is an honor for Lin to meet you today!"

Hu Ba slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Lin Yu, sweeping over him like a searchlight.

He nodded slightly, his voice deep and resonant like a large bell, "Young Master Lin is too courteous. I am here on my master's orders."

Lin Yu's heart leapt with joy, he swiftly said, "Please take a seat, Hero Hu. May I ask what brings Senior Hu to send you here?" As he spoke, he gestured for Hu Ba to sit, his smile growing even brighter.

Hu Ba began to speak, "Jingxu Zi is my junior brother. A few days ago, Chen Nan went to Qingyun Temple, not only did he defeat my junior brother, but he even expelled Qingyun Temple from our circle."

"My master was exceedingly angry when he learned about this and especially instructed me to come and eliminate Chen Nan."

"However, I am not familiar with the situation here in the Provincial City, so I specifically ask for Young Master Lin's assistance according to your ability."

"For instance, luring Chen Nan out!" As he said this, a sharp glare of murderous intent flashed in his eyes!
