"This is the Lin Family's headquarters?"
"Oh my god..."
Su Jianguo and Liu Huixian could barely believe their eyes as they entered the luxurious manor.
They had never imagined that they, ordinary citizens, would one day be connected to one of the four great families... and even live within the headquarters of one of them!
"This..."
However, what shocked them even more was Fang Ling'er's family, who were right behind them.
If Su Jianguo and his wife could be considered to have seen a bit of the world.
Then Fang Ling'er's family were complete commoners, people from the bottom rung of society... They had rarely even heard of such places, let alone seen them.
To the point where Fang Ling'er's family felt a bit awkward.
Especially Fang Ling'er.
But it wasn't that she felt flustered by the luxury of the Lin Family's headquarters... it was because of Lin Jinyu, who had brought them here and was addressed as "Young Miss" by the drivers and bodyguards.
Her stunning beauty, ethereal aura, and noble demeanor, every gesture exuded the grace of a prominent family... Compared to her, Fang Ling'er, a girl born a commoner, couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority.
Especially when she heard that Su Zhan and Lin Jinyu were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, her heart became even more flustered...
"Uncle, Aunt, you can rest assured and stay here."
"If you need anything in the future, please feel free to tell me, or inform the butler, and they will do their best to fulfill your requests."
Lin Jinyu said with a smile.
She was somewhat familiar with Su Jianguo and his wife, so Lin Baitian had asked her to be in charge of their reception.
The butler and servants beside her nodded slightly at Su Jianguo and his wife, offering respectful smiles.
"Thank you for your trouble, Xiao Yu..."
Mother Liu Huixian held Lin Jinyu's hand, her face filled with worry, "Xiao Yu, tell me, has Zhan'er gotten into some big trouble?"
"I asked him on the phone, but he wouldn't say, just told us to come here and live with peace of mind, and put work aside... But suddenly asking us to come to your place, there must be something big happening."
"Tell Auntie, what exactly happened to Zhan'er, okay?"
When their parents received Su Zhan's call, they were only told to put down their work and that someone from the Lin family would pick them up and take them to the Lin family headquarters... Nothing else was explained.
Therefore, they were very worried as they didn't understand the situation.
These words made Su Jianguo and Fang Ling'er's family prick up their ears.
They all wanted to know what had happened.
"Uncle, Aunt."
"You should know that among Martial Artists, there are geniuses who can fight above their level, right?"
Lin Jinyu didn't answer immediately, but asked back.
"We know," Su Jianguo nodded. "We've heard rumors about the Four Great Families before, and many of the students inside are monstrous talents. Advanced Martial Artists can kill ordinary Beginner Martial Masters, even Intermediate Martial Masters."
"Even more exaggerated, Martial Masters can kill Martial Generals, which is extremely unbelievable!"
To Su Jianguo, who was in his forties or fifties and still at the Advanced Martial Artist level, such existences could only be described as monsters.
"That's right, Uncle. Su Zhan is the monstrous talent you just mentioned."
"Huh?!"
Lin Jinyu's words shocked Su Jianguo and his wife, as well as Fang Ling'er's family.
They were all dumbfounded and speechless.
If it were someone else, they might not have been so surprised... But Su Zhan had grown up right before their eyes, they greeted him and talked to him every day. Although he had improved quickly and was considered a genius, how could he have become a monstrous talent overnight?
"In fact, in a way, Su Zhan is even more terrifying than the monstrous talents you mentioned!"
"Not long ago."
"The Meng Family dispatched a Beginner Martial Artist to ambush Su Zhan, and Su Zhan killed him in return while he was an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist!"
Lin Jinyu's words were shocking, "Uncle and Aunt, you should know that it only took Su Zhan half a month to go from a Beginner Quasi-Martial Artist to an Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist, and his combat power could increase to this level... The speed of his strength growth is truly terrifying!"
"It is precisely because of this that the Meng Family, who has always been at odds with our Lin Family, will try every means to eliminate Su Zhan."
"This assassination was their doing, but they underestimated Su Zhan's strength this time. However, next time... they will probably resort to even more extreme measures!"
"Now, Uncle and Aunt, do you understand why Su Zhan asked me to bring you here?"
After hearing this, Su Jianguo and his wife, as well as Fang Ling'er's family, were stunned, frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time.
It wasn't that their resilience was insufficient.
It was just that the news was too astonishing.
And the content was truly explosive.
"I... I... I understand!"
Su Jianguo, being an Advanced Martial Artist, was the first to regain his senses. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Xiao Yu. We will stay here with peace of mind and won't be a burden to Xiao Zhan."
He knew the current situation was beyond what he, an Advanced Martial Artist, could help with.
Since the Lin Family could arrange for them, it naturally showed they placed sufficient importance on Su Zhan... they would undoubtedly protect him better than he could.
All he could do now was live peacefully, not give the Meng Family an opportunity, and not cause trouble for Su Zhan.
"Me, our family too!"
Father Fang quickly adjusted his glasses and replied, "We'll trouble you from now on."
"It's no trouble."
Lin Jinyu smiled, "Also, regarding your daughter's schooling, our Lin Family has dedicated internal tutors who can teach her, guaranteeing her studies won't be delayed."
"Thank you so much!"
Father Fang was overwhelmed with gratitude.
"Come, let me show you around where you'll be staying."
Lin Jinyu continued to lead them into the manor.
Meanwhile.
Su Zhan looked at his empty home, feeling not a trace of heaviness, but rather a sense of relief.
With his parents well protected, he could truly spread his wings and show what he was capable of.
"Elder Feng, may I ask you something?"
Su Zhan sat directly on the sofa and spoke.
His vision blurred for a moment, and Elder Feng's figure appeared, "Mr. Su, I will tell you everything I know."
"I'm not trying to find out any particularly important secrets,"
Su Zhan waved his hand, "I just wanted to ask if you know of any places that buy beast bones, beast hides, ferocious beast blood, and similar items in bulk?"
"Preferably with better prices than 'Cloud Above Tower'."
Cloud Above Tower was the world's largest chain weapon retailer, and also the world's largest buyer... whether it was ferocious beast materials, Heavenly Treasures, or weapons and pills, they bought anything you sold, no matter the quantity.
It was just that their prices were not worth mentioning, giving at most 70% of the market price, and sometimes as low as 30%... online, they were mockingly called "Cloud Black Tower."
Su Zhan naturally wanted better channels, especially given the large quantities he had.
But he couldn't find information online, so he could only ask the experienced Elder Feng.
"Mr. Su, selling in your own name will definitely make it difficult to get a good price."
"If you don't mind, I have a VIP Token representing the Lin Family here. For materials sold to Cloud Above Tower, I can negotiate for them to buy it at 80% of the market price!"
Elder Feng flipped his palm, producing a golden token no larger than a thumb, with the Lin Family's name prominently displayed.
