Lü Anyang, Vice Head of Black Tiger Martial Arts School, Had Come to Protect His Family!

The many neighbors gathered around couldn't help exclaiming in surprise when they heard this.

Most ordinary people didn't know much about the Demon Suppression Division's top exam scorer.

Even if they knew it was impressive, they had no idea just how impressive.

But—

Being recruited as a Guest Elder by Black Tiger Martial Arts School was something they could understand!

That was because Black Tiger Martial Arts School was in North of the City.

It could be called an absolute dominant force.

Many people—even those who served as guards at Black Tiger Martial Arts School—felt it brought honor to their family and gave them status and standing!

And that kid from the Lin Family had actually been recruited as a Guest Elder. He was a truly remarkable big shot!

Hearing everyone's animated discussion,

Lin Feng was stunned.

People from Black Tiger Martial Arts School had come to his home?

That made sense.

Black Tiger Martial Arts School's sphere of influence was North of the City.

It was no surprise they had found his home.

But what had they come here for?

Lin Feng made his way through the crowd of chattering people.

Then he saw two burly men standing guard outside his front door, each holding a saber.

They seemed to be preventing anyone from entering.

The two men wore Black Tiger Martial Arts School uniforms. Lin Feng took one look at them and could tell they weren't weak.

They were both at the sixth or seventh level of Body Tempering.

Quite a few people noticed Lin Feng approaching.

"Hey! Speak of the devil, and he appears. Isn't that the kid from the Lin Family?!"

"Shh! Still calling him the kid from the Lin Family? He came first in the Demon Suppression Division's exam. His prospects are limitless, and he could very well become a Squad Leader!"

"Keep your voices down! It wouldn't be good if a big shot like him heard us talking about him!"

When Lin Feng arrived, many of the neighbors fell silent.

They watched him with the fearful gaze of people facing a tiger, then made way for him, keeping their distance as they looked on.

Lin Feng reached his front door and looked at the two burly men.

The moment they saw him, their expressions turned respectful.

"Guest Elder Lin!"

"Greetings, Guest Elder Lin."

The two men had watched the exam at the Demon Suppression Division, so they recognized Lin Feng.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Feng asked.

Before either man could answer,

a hearty voice came from inside the house.

"Our Black Tiger Martial Arts School came especially to protect Guest Elder Lin's family!"

The booming voice carried from inside, strong and full of vigor!

A surge of True Qi carried the voice to Lin Feng's ears.

Lin Feng's heart stirred, and his gaze fixed on the scene inside the doorway.

He saw his younger sister, Lin Qingxue, walking out alongside a middle-aged man with a somewhat lean build.

On closer inspection, the man looked remarkably similar to Lü Pingyang, the head of Black Tiger Martial Arts School.

Of course, Lin Feng didn't care about that.

The moment he saw Lin Qingxue,

the heart he'd been holding in suspense finally settled.

His younger sister was safe and sound, without a single injury!

In the distance, Lin Qingxue saw Lin Feng too.

Her face instantly lit up with joy!

Lin Qingxue was a young girl, orphaned and all alone, with no one to depend on.

And at that very moment, Lin Feng was still far from home, having left for the Demon Suppression Division.

She had been left at home all by herself, a defenseless young woman!

It was impossible for her not to be afraid.

But Lin Qingxue also knew she couldn't become a burden or hold Lin Feng back, so she put on a brave face.

In recent days, news kept coming from North of the City of people dying unexpectedly. Lin Qingxue had been terrified.

She had missed Lin Feng more than ever before.

Now that Lin Feng was back, her joy was beyond words.

"Brother! You're back. You finally came back!"

Lin Qingxue's face was flushed with excitement, and tears welled in her eyes.

During all the days Lin Feng was away, she hadn't shed a single tear.

But now that he was back, it felt as if her emotions were about to crumble all at once.

Lin Qingxue ran over and threw herself into Lin Feng's arms.

Feeling the young girl's body trembling faintly against him, and thinking of how alone she'd been these past days, Lin Feng's heart ached.

Lin Feng stroked Lin Qingxue's back and said softly, "Qingxue, I'm sorry."

"Your brother came back too late and made you worry for so many days."

Lin Feng was consumed by guilt.

He had to go to the Demon Suppression Division to grow stronger!

It had been a choice forced upon him.

Fortunately, in the few days since he'd entered the Demon Suppression Division, Lin Feng's strength had risen like a rocket.

After becoming a Squad Leader, he had gained a privilege.

He could have a small courtyard within the Demon Suppression Division.

Now that he was back, Lin Feng could take Lin Qingxue with him to live there.

The Demon Suppression Division could be called the safest place in Wancheng City—without exception.

Lin Qingxue, in Lin Feng's arms, said nothing. For a while, she didn't want to leave them.

She had been too frightened these past days.

Lin Feng looked at the middle-aged man who bore a strong resemblance to Lü Pingyang.

He was none other than the Vice Head of Black Tiger Martial Arts School.

When the man saw Lin Feng looking his way, he quickly returned his gaze with a smile and said:

"I'm Lü Anyang, Vice Head of Black Tiger Martial Arts School."

After giving his name, Lü Anyang continued, "Brother Lin, we've imposed on you by coming here."

"But rest assured, we mean you no harm."

"Recently, traces of the Black Lotus Cult have appeared in North of the City, and quite a few demons and monsters are waiting for a chance to cause trouble."

"I knew you had a younger sister, so I brought some people over to protect her."

Lü Anyang explained why they had come.

Lin Feng's heart stirred.

It seemed Black Tiger Martial Arts School really knew how to handle things!

They had even brought people to protect his younger sister.

"Thank you."

Lü Anyang waved a hand. "We're all part of Black Tiger Martial Arts School. There's no need to thank us!"

Lin Feng gave a slight nod, then stepped inside with Lin Qingxue.

The door closed, while the two burly men outside continued standing guard.

Many neighbors watched from outside, their faces full of envy.

From their conversation, they had learned that Lin Feng had apparently joined Black Tiger Martial Arts School.

For the Vice Head himself to bring people over and ensure his safety—

It could only mean Black Tiger Martial Arts School valued Lin Feng highly!

Many people sighed. They had thought that after Lin Feng's father died unexpectedly, the two siblings would be left alone and helpless in this turbulent age and wouldn't last long.

But they hadn't expected Lin Feng to be even more capable than his father!

After entering his small courtyard,

Lin Feng felt a pang of emotion.

He had only been away for a few days, but his state of mind had changed completely.

He looked at his younger sister, Lin Qingxue, and said gently, "Qingxue, I'm a Squad Leader in the Demon Suppression Division now. I have certain privileges, including the ability to bring family members there to live."

"You're coming with me to the Demon Suppression Division right away. It's safer there!"

"Okay, okay." Lin Qingxue nodded, her eyes shining.

Naturally, being by Lin Feng's side was best.

After saying this, Lin Feng turned to Lü Anyang and asked in a solemn voice, "Vice Head Lü, I'd like to ask you about the Black Lotus Cult."

"If you know anything, I hope you'll tell me."
