As the head of the Ye Family, Ye Zhong wasn’t someone easy to deceive. He could see through everything happening before him at a glance...

Whether Lin Feng was a bad person or not, Ye Zhong at least knew that Ye Lin knew Lin Feng, and they seemed quite familiar with each other.

He had thought this girl was still naive in matters of love, yet here she had already found such a suitable friend... Ye Zhong watched Lin Feng with a smile, thinking to himself, this handsome guy, not sure which family he comes from, but his Martial Arts foundation looks good. To be able to suppress Mu Ziying as soon as he made a move, he seems quite promising.

"Little Lin, aren’t you going to introduce your friend to your father?" Ye Zhong approached Ye Lin, asking with a cheerful smile, his eyes clearly showing admiration for Lin Feng.

"Dad... don’t overthink it, Lin Feng is just a regular friend..." Ye Lin knew Ye Zhong had misunderstood Lin Feng as her boyfriend. But to Ye Lin, such a misunderstanding wasn’t entirely unacceptable, and for once, she spoke to Ye Zhong in a rare, playful tone.

It’s obvious that the thief will not admit to stealing! Ye Zhong shook his head, feeling a bit helpless toward his daughter, who couldn’t keep any secrets.

Mu Ziying’s face turned even more unpleasant seeing the admiration in Ye Zhong’s eyes for Lin Feng.

"Ziying! What are you doing?"

At this moment, six strong men clad in black martial outfits walked in from outside, led by a middle-aged man in his fifties, looking at Mu Ziying with a stern expression.

"Second Uncle! I was just beaten by someone..." Mu Ziying’s eyes lit up with excitement upon seeing the middle-aged man, and he spoke with a resentful tone...

Mu Ziying’s second uncle was none other than Mu Family’s current head, Mu Chengfeng. A year ago, Mu Chengfeng advanced to Innate and is now an Innate expert.

"What happened?" Mu Chengfeng glanced at Lin Feng and asked in a deep voice.

"I don’t know why, this kid suddenly jumped out to teach me a lesson..." Mu Ziying didn’t elaborate on what exactly Lin Feng did, only giving a vague statement that Lin Feng initiated the attack. He knew his Second Uncle cared about him and would seek revenge for him regardless of the reasons...

"Is that so... only a mere fourth-level of Inner Strength, I’d like to see how capable you are..." Mu Chengfeng sneered, looking at Lin Feng with a hint of disdain in his eyes, like a god looking down at an ant with arrogance.

Ye Lin’s expression changed upon seeing Mu Chengfeng. She instantly stood in front of Lin Feng, glaring angrily at Mu Chengfeng, "Senior Chengfeng, how could you, an elder, bully someone younger? Aren’t you disregarding your own status?"

Mu Chengfeng curiously glanced at Ye Lin, then at Ye Zhong behind her, smiling as he said, "Little Lin, don’t you know, when adults are talking, children shouldn’t interrupt? Your father hasn’t spoken yet...why are you in such a hurry to jump in?"

Ye Zhong stared deeply at Mu Chengfeng, a glint of apprehension crossing his eyes. He didn’t know when Mu Chengfeng had succeeded in advancing; after all, the gap between Innate and non-Innate was a great chasm...

Do not anger Mu Chengfeng, or else the consequences might be dire for the Ye Family! Ye Zhong made up his mind instantly, pulling Ye Lin back a few steps, calmly saying, "Ye Lin, don’t speak recklessly. Senior Chengfeng is in a bad mood today, don’t upset him..."

"But!" Ye Lin looked at Lin Feng with some tension, her gaze tinged with sadness...

"Don’t worry about me..." Lin Feng shook his head, gesturing to Ye Lin, then slowly stepped toward Mu Chengfeng, "I’ve been meaning to test the true skill of an Innate expert recently and am quite eager to seek some guidance from Senior Mu..."

Ye Lin fell silent at once.

"Alright..." Mu Chengfeng’s lips curled into a cruel smile, saying faintly to Lin Feng, "I admire young people like you. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you..."

I will just cripple you, that’s all! Mu Chengfeng thought with a cold sneer.

Lin Feng didn’t speak, his eyes narrowing, watching Mu Chengfeng warily, his entire Inner Strength activated, causing his clothes to billow...

"Humph, do you really think you can withstand just one move from me..." Mu Chengfeng looked at Lin Feng, casually extending his right hand and slightly pointing at Lin Feng...

"Swish!"

A sharp sound pierced through, and Lin Feng didn’t even grasp what happened, only felt a massive force crash into his chest, making him feel as if he was hit by a truck, sending him flying backward...

Puh...

Just a slight distance strike from Mu Chengfeng, and Lin Feng was already lightly injured, tasting bitterness in his mouth as a warm mouthful of blood was spat out.

This is the true strength of an Innate expert! Lin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, bitterly smiling at Mu Chengfeng as he struggled to stand up.

Ye Lin’s gaze remained calm, yet as she looked at Lin Feng, her eyes now carried a deep-seated concern.

"Lin Feng..." Ye Lin asked worriedly, glancing at Ye Zhong, "Dad, can’t you really help Lin Feng?"

Ye Zhong frowned tightly. Even though he knew chivalry in the martial world was practically useless, failing to rescue a young man his daughter knew would make him lose face, but Lin Feng had offended the Mu Family...

If Mu Ziying’s father were here, it would be alright, but the issue was Mu Chengfeng was just Mu Ziying’s second uncle, and Ye Zhong didn’t know Mu Ziying well...

Taking action recklessly in this situation could likely result in a loss of face, and Ye Zhong, who was mindful of his status, naturally hesitated.

Moreover, the young man named Lin Feng, whose background was unknown, could bring trouble with the Mu Family if they retaliated later, and if his own family didn’t show any support, it wouldn’t be worth it. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

As the head of the family, Ye Zhong couldn’t help but be conservative, leading to his dilemma over Ye Lin’s request.

"Haha... Lin Feng, weren’t you arrogant just now? Come on and hit me again? Bastard, I’m curious how long you can stand..." Mu Ziying laughed arrogantly, turning to Mu Chengfeng with excitement, "Second Uncle, keep going, don’t let this kid stand up, I find him annoying! Make sure he falls!"

"Alright..." Mu Chengfeng chuckled, striking at Lin Feng again from a distance...

Bam!

Lin Feng’s body instantly flew several meters horizontally, falling to the ground. As he finished wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth and hadn’t even had a chance to stand up, Mu Chengfeng launched another attack, sending him flying backward dozens of meters again.

"Stay down quietly, or you’ll be dead..." Mu Chengfeng warned coldly as he struck from a distance, like an emotionless robot.
