"Dad, I believe this matter might also be the Liu family's doing," Wu Yuxuan said with certainty. "The Liu family originally wanted to use us to deal with Lin Xiaotian. But later, we discovered Lin Xiaotian's strength was too formidable. You've never seen what a true martial artist is like. Lin Xiaotian is that kind of person. He can punch through a concrete slab with one blow, and his power is immense; he can send me flying with a palm strike from a distance. When he was treating me earlier, he mentioned my uncle, and his eyes were still very friendly. He said my uncle had agreed to some condition, which is why he personally treated me, and it involved several thousand-year-old ginsengs collected by our family. Lin Xiaotian is too strong; we absolutely cannot be his enemy."
He kept describing Lin Xiaotian's power, even portraying him as capable of flying through the heavens and burrowing through the earth.
The incident spread throughout the city. Especially the video of Wu Jie's attack, which was leaked by someone, caused an uproar online. Chu Nianxue saw the video when she woke up that morning, her eyes filled with disbelief. "I never expected people from the Wu family to be so ruthless. I've met Liu Jing; although she's malicious, she wouldn't go this far. Wu Jie used such vicious means, and now he's become our opponent."
Lin Xiaotian smiled and placed a fried egg on his wife's plate. His smile became even brighter. "Wife, don't worry. Wu Jie won't come looking for us. The misunderstanding between us has already been resolved. Originally, this was all Liu Jing's doing behind the scenes. She resented me and wanted to use Wu Jie to kill me. But Wu Jie is a smart person; he knows what he should and shouldn't do, so he found me immediately. After resolving the misunderstanding, I've already treated Wu Yuxuan's condition. This matter had little to do with us; it was all Liu Jing causing trouble, which is why Wu Jie hates her so much. As for what happened between them, I don't know."
Just as Chu Nianxue was about to say something upon hearing this, voices were heard from the doorway. "Is that really all there is to it?"
Lin Xiaotian had already heard footsteps outside, and their gazes were fixed on him, which was why he had spoken. At this moment, his eyes turned, and he saw the people entering. Leading the way was a middle-aged man in a suit, his posture upright, his expression stern, his skin unwrinkled, and his hair meticulously combed. His gaze was sharp as a blade, filled with deep suspicion.
Lin Xiaotian turned his head with a smile, a bright grin appearing on his face. "Who are you? You barge into our home and want to question me? Do you think you're living too carefree and want to cause yourself some trouble?"
Hearing this, the man's face contorted with gritted-teeth anger. "Lin Xiaotian, I know you're very strong, but if you want to deal with me, you'll have to ask my weapon first. Someone told me your strength is immense, almost god-like. I don't believe it. If you were truly that powerful, you wouldn't resort to schemes and tricks. If you wanted to deal with someone, you'd just obliterate them."
Lin Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew this was a test, and it was definitely Wu Yuxuan who had said something to them, leading to this situation. A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes. "It seems the message I asked Wu Yuxuan to deliver to you was never passed on. But it doesn't matter. Since you want to witness my might, I'll let you experience it firsthand."
With that, he stood up and walked towards them. "This place is too small, and we might damage the furniture. Why don't we settle this outside?"
Chu Nianxue grabbed his clothes, her eyes filled with deep worry. "Don't go. There are too many of them, and it could be dangerous for you. And listen to him, he has a weapon. Don't take the risk!"
Lin Xiaotian flashed a brilliant smile and lightly kissed Chu Nianxue's cheek. Chu Nianxue's face flushed. At a time like this, he was still thinking of taking advantage of her?
Just as she was about to say something, Lin Xiaotian cupped her beautiful face, his eyes serious. "Wife, these petty troublemakers are nothing to me. If I wanted to deal with them, I could do it with a flick of my finger. Hurry and finish your breakfast; I'm done, and I'm waiting for you to finish so we can go to the company!"
After saying that, he kissed her soft red lips, then turned back to the middle-aged man with a smile. "Let's not waste time. Let's go!"
The middle-aged man's eyes were solemn. He saw no trace of nervousness on Lin Xiaotian's face, only a calm indifference, as if he completely disregarded them, as if they were mere ants. This strange illusion made the middle-aged man uncomfortable. He had always harbored great doubt about his son's words; how could such a powerful person exist in this world? Such beings were supposed to exist only in legends.
Lin Xiaotian led them to the green belt outside. At this moment, his gaze turned to the middle-aged man. "Since you want to see my strength, I'll make sure you remember this lesson today."
As he spoke, his aura surged out like a tidal wave. The middle-aged man's heart leaped. The mere aura was overwhelming, making him feel like a beast had cornered him, facing imminent death. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke. "I am the head of the Wu family. You can call me Old Wu. I came today to understand the truth. My brother has disappeared, and I suspect he might be dead. I need to know the truth of this matter after assessing your strength. As I said earlier, if your power is truly as formidable as my son claims, then you wouldn't need any schemes or tricks; you'd just sweep everything aside."
Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Do you know what the dignity of a strong person is?"
