Chapter 555: Chapter 102_3

So, all it takes is for someone who you can’t guarantee to capture and kill even if your whole temple sets up an Array, and they can just play kite-flying with you.

Then, they can exhaust your entire temple to death.

Draining your entire temple, they might not even sustain any injuries, because they only need to act against ordinary people.

Common Jianghu Sect families don’t have such powerful figures, but the Dragon King family does.

And in other situations, forming alliances with various temples to confront threats is no problem, but if it’s the Dragon King family that you provoke, others are likely unwilling to ally with you.

Lin Fu’an said: "If we serve as a pawn for the Dragon King family, it doesn’t seem entirely unacceptable."

Chen Shoumen: "If the Dragon King family’s elders use Ah You for something, it should be the juniors from the Dragon King family."

Lin Fu’an: "Both Dragon King Qin and Dragon King Liu have dwindled in numbers, there might not be many young descendants left, and if there are, they would definitely be from the direct lineage of the two Dragon King families."

Chen Shoumen: "Then Ah You is being used by the direct lineage."

Direct lineage, in this context, signifies not blood relations but the degree of importance and status given by the inheritance.

In the past, claiming allegiance to the Dragon King, though untouchable, one would understand inside that with such a large enterprise and so many people, what you served wasn’t necessarily the direct lineage, various thresholds and layers of status exist inside.

The real direct lineage is exceptionally significant; family resources, teachings, and heritage are all bestowed upon you; and if you succeed in River Crossing in the future, that is true transcendence.

Given the current situation of the Qin and Liu families, if a descendant from the direct lineage emerges, he would indeed be lavishly doted on and piled with resources.

Even if it were for the sake of continuing the family heritage, this person, not going to River Crossing, could still form a force just by spending resources idly.

Because the Qin and Liu families also have another layer of protection.

With this, the master and apprentice both nodded.

The originally tense emotions of the two were briefly relieved.

The reason for it being brief was that they immediately thought of another matter.

If this is just an issue between the descendant of the Dragon King family’s direct lineage and their own Ah You, what does their involvement count as?

Originally if it’s just a quarrel among the younger generation, even if indeed there are impure motives, treating you as a monkey to play with, however one complains, it still remains an issue among the young.

Even if it results in a fatality, wouldn’t you still have to reluctantly accept it?

When Emperor Jing of Han was a child, didn’t he kill a feudal lord’s son with a chessboard? What about it?

Moreover, now there hasn’t even been a loss of life, the person was even laid on a hospital bed to be cared for.

Yet, the two of you hurried over in such a fluster.

Not only did you come, but you also arrived with presence, walking right up to the doorstep.

If you had sent a greeting card first, it would have been alright, they might not meet you, but at least it would have conformed to proprieties.

If they had agreed to meet you, you wouldn’t dare to directly mention the children’s issue upon seeing them, a simple greeting and an assurance would suffice, and if they cared, they’d ask someone to notify you.

Of course, this step is extremely perilous too, for they might react thinking: What, you dare to come pressuring me?

Thus, the more appropriate course of action is: Even though my child is severely injured lying in the hospital bed, I still come to offer an apology, and my stance must be very humble.

And yet, these two took the approach: Our kid got beaten, so we sent our elder; they should send their elder too.

Effectively escalating a conflict between younger members to a factional dispute.

Chen Shoumen murmured: "Perhaps, Ah You and the Dragon King family’s younger generation hold no grudges."

Lin Fu’an felt a surge in his chest, as if choking back a mouthful of old blood, and then forcefully swallowing it.

Originally there might have been no grudge, but because the two of them came, a grudge has been formed.

Chen Shoumen murmured again: "Ah You also said, letting us prepare to dedicate a new page for him in the family records. Does this indicate that Ah You has already formed a relationship with that person from the Dragon King family?"

Lin Fu’an felt his apprentice’s words piercing his heart like a knife.

Chen Shoumen continued softly: "If both of Ah You’s injuries are related to that person from the Dragon King family, then regardless of how heartless that person from the Dragon King family may be, they ought to be warmed up by now, even if not... those around the Dragon King should be warmed up by now."

Chen Shoumen’s gaze turned to the bedside table where a basin was placed with washed clothes and toiletries inside.

It was that person who brought them over, and subsequently, that person went straight into the Dragon King family’s residence, greeting them warmly and casually.

"That person must be pledged to the Dragon King."

Chen Shoumen then pointed at Lin Shuyou’s stomach: "When we first came here to heal Ah You, we found that Ah You’s life pattern wasn’t restored by replacing the missing parts, but rather by borrowing from other parts, evenly distributed and reorganized.

In this entire temple, only you, master, can inscribe life patterns; I haven’t completely mastered it. Our Ah You probably can’t restore it himself, let alone perform this kind of original transformation to compensate for what’s missing. Master, do you know how to do this?"

Lin Fu’an turned red with restraint.

I know, I know...absolutely nothing!

It’s an Array, an Array; if it breaks, it needs to be wiped clean and redrawn. Have you ever seen a family’s Array where bits can be borrowed from this pillar and that flag to be plugged back in and made to work again?

Chen Shoumen prepared to speak softly again.

Lin Fu’an couldn’t restrain himself anymore and bellowed from his throat, "If you keep talking in that tone, I’ll cleanse the sect first!"

Chen Shoumen covered his face with both hands, bowing his head.

Lin Fu’an: "What’s with that posture for a big man, it’s really..."
