Hearing this, Chen Xuan was speechless too.

You people really loved pinning your hopes on others, didn't you?

Fine, fine, fine!

Since that was the case, he did not mind showing them what true, utter despair looked like!

Chen Xuan grabbed Lin Xia and returned to the Lin Family.

He locked the women up.

Then he took out the Disguiser's Robe he had gotten from the lottery.

He quickly disguised himself as Lin Zhentian.

Then he directed the servants to swiftly restore the entire Lin Family hall to its original state.

After that, he had the servants summon Lin Xiao and his wife.

And that mad plan of revenge officially began.

Lin Xiao and his wife walked into the hall.

They saw Lin Zhentian seated upright in the main seat.

At the same time, they stepped forward and bowed. "Father."

After straightening up, Lin Xiao asked, "Father, did you call the two of us here for something?"

Chen Xuan took a moment to adapt to his new identity.

Only then did he nod, putting on an old and dignified air as he said, "Indeed. This matter is of great importance and must be handled as soon as possible."

"What is it?" Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

Vaguely, he had an ominous feeling.

Could it be...

Was it related to Qingtan?

He thought this to himself.

"Lin Zhentian" deliberately put on a troubled look. "To tell the truth, I had no other choice. That is why I resorted to this."

That expression, that manner—it was practically indistinguishable from the real thing.

Chen Xuan felt deeply satisfied!

He was looking forward to it. Once he revealed his idea, just how crazed would Lin Xiao become?

"Father, what exactly is it? Just say it. Is it related to... Dong'er and Qingtan?"

Lin Xiao increasingly felt that it had something to do with them.

Otherwise, his father would not be acting like this.

At once, he grew restless all over.

Liu Yan cared so much that it threw her into confusion. "Father, say it. Dong'er and Qingtan are our children. As long as we can help, we definitely won't spare any effort—even if it means death."

The current Liu Yan, because the Lin Family's status in Yan City had risen, naturally dressed in a younger style as well.

It added a few traces of unique charm to her already somewhat delicate and beautiful cheeks.

At this moment, a resolute light flickered deep in her eyes.

Clearly, she had already prepared herself to die.

Lin Xiao nodded. "Liu Yan is right."

"Truly?" The corners of "Lin Zhentian's" mouth curled in a faint, hidden arc.

Good, good, good!

Two fish had taken the bait.

He truly looked forward to it!

Lin Xiao was frantic with anxiety. "Of course. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"Lin Zhentian" looked at Liu Yan. "And you?"

"I'm the same," Liu Yan nodded.

At this moment, she...

and even Lin Xiao...

None of them had ever doubted whether the Lin Zhentian before them might be a fake.

Besides, as far as they knew...

They had never heard of it.

Someone being able to disguise themselves as another person so perfectly.

"Lin Zhentian" pondered for a moment. "Actually, this matter isn't that difficult. It's very simple. You don't need to look like you're marching off to your deaths."

Lin Xiao was eager to try. "What do you need us to do?"

You?

You were a man. It wasn't interested in you.

"Lin Zhentian" shook his head with a solemn expression. "You can't do anything. This matter still needs Liu Yan."

"Huh?" Lin Xiao froze.

No way.

I'm in the Heavenly Yuan Realm.

Strength like this might not count for much in Yan City.

But here in Qingyang Town...

He was still a notable expert.

Even he could do nothing.

Then what could Liu Yan, who didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken, do?

He found it very strange.

Liu Yan volunteered herself. "Father, as long as Liu Yan can be of use, I'll go through fire and water!"

"There's no need to go through fire and water. It's just that..."

"Lin Zhentian" deliberately trailed off, intentionally keeping them in suspense.

Lin Xiao was about to die of anxiety.

Liu Yan pressed him. "Just what?"

"Lin Zhentian" sighed as if the matter were terribly serious. "It's just that, aside from this method, there's no other way to save Dong'er and Qingtan."

"What exactly happened to Dong'er and Qingtan?"

As a mother, Liu Yan finally panicked at this moment.

Lin Xiao became even more anxious. "Father, didn't Dong'er go out? And Qingtan also became the disciple of a renowned master. How could something happen to them?"

"Sigh..."

"Father, stop just sighing and tell us!"

Lin Xiao wished he could burrow into "Lin Zhentian's" head and extract the news about his children himself.

Liu Yan patted Lin Xiao. "Brother Xiao, don't rush him. Father must be having a hard time too. Let him catch his breath."

Lin Xiao could only nod.

"Lin Zhentian" slowly stood up.

"It's like this. Last night, in the middle of the night, a powerful demonic beast came to find me and delivered a message..."

After that, "Lin Zhentian" began a ten-minute solo performance.

In his account...

That demonic beast belonged to the subordinate of the person who wanted to marry Qingtan.

It demanded that they give it a human woman no matter what. Otherwise, Lin Dong and Qingtan would suffer a great calamity.

In the main hall...

"Lin Zhentian" spoke with righteous indignation.

He said he had refused.

But he had been severely injured by that demonic beast.

He also said it would come again tonight.

Hearing this, Lin Xiao's face changed drastically.

Lin Zhentian was in the Small Yuan Dan Realm!

With such strength, even in Yan City, he could not be underestimated.

Yet he could not even defeat a demonic beast sent by that person.

Wasn't that too terrifying?

Wait!

He wanted a human woman?

Could it be...

Lin Xiao instantly flew into a rage. "Father, that beast dares go this far? Even if I have to fight to the death, I'll make sure it pays a heavy price."

"Brother Xiao, even Father can't beat it. How are you supposed to?"

A trace of resolve flashed through Liu Yan's eyes.

Lin Xiao hated his own uselessness.

He smashed the table in the living room with one punch.

Then he slumped into a chair, dispirited.

Half a minute later, he suddenly said, "Father, if that's the case, can't we capture someone else to take her place? That beast couldn't possibly tell the difference anyway!"

Hm?

Well now, trying to exploit a loophole, were you?

Your family were people.

Other people's families weren't?

Chen Xuan was speechless too.

He said directly, "Lin Xiao, this matter is not something to trifle with. You had better know where to draw the line!"

"That's right, Brother Xiao. If that demonic beast finds out, our Lin Family might be wiped out ahead of time."

Liu Yan tugged at Lin Xiao, urging him to calm down.

In a situation like this, if they angered the other party...

That was a Form Creation Realm Lesser Completion existence!

With such strength, even the lord of Flame City...

Lin Xiao seemed to think of something.

He immediately brightened. "Father, I have a way. We can ask Flame City Lord's Mansion for help!"

Ask the City Lord's Mansion for help?

They probably wouldn't dare get involved either!

Of course.

Chen Xuan would not say that to his face.

He merely feigned surprise. "Oh? Will that work?"

"Have you forgotten? When Dong'er left, he even had a spar with the City Lord. With his strength, he can definitely deal with that demonic beast."

Lin Xiao seemed as if he had grasped a lifeline.

His whole person was beyond excited.

Seeing him so enthusiastic, Chen Xuan formed a plan. "In that case, hurry over. Hopefully, you can make it in time."

"All right. I'll ride as fast as I can and try to be back before dark."

Lin Xiao immediately turned and left.

After he was gone.

Liu Yan respectfully gave a bow. "Father, then I'll head back first."

"Wait!"

"Does Father have something else?"

"Liu Yan, you don't want anything to happen to Dong'er and Qingtan either, do you?"
