1388 Troublesome Disciples



Lin Xia blinked her eyes, not feeling that strange.

For many people who were born in high status and big family, the family bond was relatively shallow. It was so shallow that others would think that they were not related in the slightest bit.

No matter what happened to their so called family members, they would barely feel anything.

Shan Yu thought about the ongoing war and pursed his lips. "If something were to happen to Lin Family, would you step forward to make a move and support them?"

This time, Lin Xia didn't answer right away. There was haze within her eyes as she turned to look at the distance. Her expression right now made it hard for others to guess what she was thinking.

"Should I?"

Instead of answering, it was instead a question.

Shan Yu pursed his lips and said nothing.

While outsiders didn't know much about the inner structure of Lin Family, Shan Yu was clear about it because he had interacted with Lin Xia during his youth. Though, at that time, he was just a brat who barely understand anything.

However, the conversation between his Master and the others back then had allowed him to know more about Lin Xia's situation.

But they refused to tell him what Traveling Doctor Liu did to help Lin Xia.

It was something that was only known to Lin Xia and their Eldest Senior Brother.

The door of the house beside them opened and Yu Zheng Xi walked out. He looked in their direction and blinked his eyes for a moment.

"Senior Sister Lin, Senior Brother Shan."

"You're now calling me as Senior Brother?" Shan Yu asked with a grin. He always loved to tease Yu Zheng Xi.

Yu Zheng Xi rolled his eyes as he walked closer. "Senior Sister Lin, is there any problem for you to come here?"

"The Lin Family is going to strictly lock down the entrance. I won't be able to come out again." Lin Xia only came out now by relying on the fact that the defense system was not complete yet.

Plus, with her sleeping powder, she could easily make anyone who came near her fall into deep sleep.

No one would be able to witness her leaving.

"Is it related to the chaos yesterday?" Yu Zheng Xi recalled the commotion he heard from Lin Family. However, he didn't dare to get close because his poison resistance wouldn't allow him to last long enough in a battle against Lin Family.

He just quietly inquired about the matter of Lin Family from time to time.

"Yes." Lin Xia nodded.

"Take care of yourself. Don't let the Lin Family drag you down."

"I know." Lin Xia looked at this fifth junior brother she has and felt a bit apprehensive. She had met him once in the past when Traveling Doctor Liu paid a short visit to the north area. At that time, Yu Zheng Xi was much colder and distant.

Now, he looked more relaxed and calm.

"Master, this place will be a battlefield soon. Do you want to leave again?" Yu Zheng Xi asked.

Traveling Doctor Liu hated being involved with war, so he would always find an excuse to avoid it one way or another. One of the most obvious method was to run away from this location as fast as possible.

"I don't think there's any safe place anymore," Traveling Doctor Liu groaned. "And don't ask me to clean up the mess of the little tenth again. I'm tired with him tossing around, offending people left and right."

Shan Yu only looked at Traveling Doctor Liu and shook his head.

If their tenth junior brother didn't offend people, that wouldn't be their tenth junior brother. Though, he felt he didn't want to acknowledge that brat whenever he recalled his attitude.

It was terribly annoying.

Lin Xia chuckled when she saw her Master groaning like that. Even though Traveling Doctor Liu said that he would not want to take care of them anymore, he would still interfere from time to time if their lives were in danger. Though, it was done more secretly lately.

She thought of something. "Right, twelfth Junior Sister should be poisoned. I'm not sure about her poison resistance but without using the medicine developed by the Lin Family, she wouldn't be able to stay in the inner compound for a long time."

"What? She entered the inner compound?" Shan Yu was stunned. He knew how dreadful it could be for them if they were to enter that area.

If they didn't die, they would be tortured to death.

"Yes. She sneaked inside."

"Twelfth Junior Sister…." Traveling Doctor Liu thought about Nan Hua and felt immediate headache.

If people were to find out that she was the granddaughter of a great general in Fei Yang Kingdom, she would definitely be targeted. Not to mention, she had offended the Lin Family not long ago.

Traveling Doctor Liu knew that once Nan Hua was caught, her life would be worse than death.

"Where did she go?"

"Into the forest. I don't pay attention and the Lin Family didn't manage to find her so far. However, they didn't seem to worry that much because Fourth Old Master Lin make a move personally."

Lin Xia knew that as the real leader of Lin Family, Fourth Old Master Lin had more terrifying poisons under his sleeve. Those poisons were all the type that could torture someone to their death.

And some of them even belonged to the type of poison that had long lost its recipe.

Some of them were spoiled, but it would instead create a more terrifying effect once consumed or interacted with.

This was one of the reasons why no one dared to offend Fourth Old Master Lin in Lin Family. Their fate would be worse than offending ordinary elders there.

"Zheng Xi, find out the headquarter of the army from Fei Yang Kingdom."

"Got it." Yu Zheng Xi turned around.

"Soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom?" Lin Xia arched her eyebrows.
