Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Father and Son Meet for the Second Time

Soon, under Yan Lin’s gaze, Chu Baihan boarded Yan Lian’s carriage and left.

In the carriage, Yan Lian spoke seriously, "Don’t panic, although my reputation is well-known, I will not lay a hand on you. You are not my type."

Chu Baihan: "..."

He talks too much, otherwise, I might consider drugging him to silence him tonight.

Yan Lian had no idea that the person across from him had already harbored thoughts of killing, as he continued to chatter incessantly.

On this side,

Yan Lin was about to board the carriage back to the Prince’s Residence when his eyes shifted toward a nearby alley, and his expression suddenly became sharp.

He quickly used his Inner Strength to dash over there.

At the end of the alley, Little Tuanzi looked solemn.

He heard that his mother was in trouble and wanted to come to the Princess Residence to inquire about the situation.

But with so many Imperial Guards around, he couldn’t just walk in.

What to do now...

"Young master, it’s bad, we’ve been spotted." The Hidden Guard sensed someone approaching, his expression suddenly changed and he thought to pick up Little Baozi and leave.

But Yan Lin’s martial arts were far superior to theirs, and he quickly appeared in front of them, his unfriendly gaze immediately landing on Little Tuanzi.

Chu Xi, dressed in his night clothes from the evening and only revealing a pair of bright wide eyes, looked at Yan Lin nervously and resentfully.

Why is it him again, this bad man who hurt my mother!

Yan Lin noticed the resentment in Little Tuanzi’s eyes, and his own eyes darkened a bit more.

He had already recognized the other party, the same young one who had broken into the National Treasury that night.

All in all, they had met only twice, so why did this young fellow hold such a grudge against him, almost as if he were his nemesis?

"Last time you broke into the Imperial Palace at night. Now you’re lingering near the Princess Residence, just who are you?" he asked sternly, his hands behind his back and his cold eyes fixed on Little Tuanzi.

He had already figured out that this young fellow was the master of the several people behind him.

Hearing this interrogation, Little Tuanzi’s heart trembled slightly.

He feared that his mother’s secret might be disclosed, so he stubbornly raised his head and clenched his teeth, saying, "I... I’m just curious about the Imperial Palace, so I went to take a look. Today, seeing your emperor leave the palace, I simply followed to see what the emperor looked like."

"Your emperor? You’re not from Yan Country!" Yan Lin’s expression turned even more incisive.

Oops, spoken the wrong words.

Little Tuanzi frustratingly bit his tongue.

How come this bad man is so astute?

Worried about making more slip-ups, Little Tuanzi gave a look to the Hidden Guard, thinking of making a quick retreat.

But Ziyi and others had already blocked their path.

"Tell me, what’s your relationship with the Tianye Organization?"

Yan Lin, with a stern face, gradually approached them.

Little Tuanzi’s breathing heavily changed, his inner turmoil evident.

How did this bad man even get information on the Tianye Organization?

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand, what Tianye? I don’t know," he shook his head, his face set in feigned confusion.

Yan Lin’s slender eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp gleam flickering within.

This young fellow, so young yet skilled in martial arts and fearless in the face of danger, what kind of people could have raised such a child?

His curiosity about the boy’s parents grew.

"Take him away!"

He gave Ziyi a look and issued the cold command.

"Yes, my lord." Ziyi was about to lead his men to seize them.

"Wait, wait a moment, you just want to inquire about Tianye, right? I will tell you then."

At this moment, Little Baozi’s demeanor changed; he stood with his hands behind his back, his chest out and his gaze steady.

Oh? He’s willing to talk now?

Yan Lin glared at Little Tuanzi, then used his hand to stop Ziyi and the others.

"I don’t like you, I don’t want to talk to you, I want to tell this brother." Little Tuanzi pointed at Ziyi and said.

Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, his usually cold face showed a hint of a suppressed smile.

Is this little fellow a bit foolish?

He belongs to the master, and if he tells him the secret, isn’t it the same as telling the master?

Yan Lin did not stop him, he gave Ziyi a look.

Ziyi leaned in and then whispered, "Alright, you can speak now."

"Didn’t your master tell you that underestimating an enemy is the greatest taboo in military strategy?" Just at this moment, a cold dagger was pressed against Ziyi’s neck.

"You..." Ziyi’s face changed dramatically, he was somewhat angry.

"Such a young age yet so deceitful and cunning!" He spoke angrily.

But Little Tuanzi remained calm, he slowly spoke, his voice still childlike yet his presence was not the least bit weak: "It’s said in the art of war, ’All warfare is based on deception.’ It’s your fault for underestimating the enemy, no one else’s."

The enemy had high martial arts skills; he dared not scheme against him.

But scheming against a Hidden Guard, he was confident about that.

Little Tuanzi muttered in his heart.

"You..." Ziyi grew even more irritated.

"Let us leave, or else, I’ll kill this guard." Little Baozi lifted his head, gritting his teeth while negotiating with Yan Lin.

Yan Lin looked down at him.

He was about the same age as Jingjing, who was still throwing temper tantrums within the Prince Residence, yet he was already using schemes like "All warfare is based on deception" in front of adults.

This little fellow, he had a maturity that did not match his age.

What kind of environment did he grow up in?

Yan Lin slightly furrowed his brows; he looked into Little Tuanzi’s eyes...

He seemed to see his younger self who had grown up in the cracks of the Imperial Palace, hence determined from a young age to become strong.

"Master, you need not worry about him, he wouldn’t dare to kill your subordinate," Ziyi spoke loudly.

He was convinced in his heart that Little Tuanzi was still a child and would not dare to act.

But Little Tuanzi snorted coldly: "Don’t think of me as noble. To survive, I am capable of doing anything."

Mom had said, keeping one’s life was the most important thing.

Moreover, these villains deserved to die!

As he finished speaking, the dagger pushed forward a few steps, and a bloodstain appeared on Ziyi’s neck.

Ziwu and the others’ expressions changed dramatically.

This little fellow was truly ruthless; he really could make the lethal move.

"Let them leave," Yan Lin finally spoke, his voice hoarse.

"Prince," Ziyi and Ziwu were a bit anxious.

But Yan Lin’s tone turned colder, "I said, let them go."

Ziwu and the other Hidden Guards could only retreat to the side.

The people behind Little Tuanzi skillfully picked him up, then quickly retreated.

"Pursue!" Ziwu wanted to lead the men in pursuit.

But Yan Lin spoke coldly: "No need to pursue."

"But Prince, he..." Ziwu was a bit anxious.

"I can sense that the little fellow basically means no harm, he was just forced into a corner," Yan Lin said calmly.

For some reason, he felt compassion for a child once again.

This was the second time he felt compassion, the first being... for that little girl Jingjing.
