[Midnight Update] 268: Chapter 266: Lin Daiyu Drops from the Sky!

[Midnight Update] “You are not even worthy of my attention!” Li Chen glanced sideways disdainfully at him.

Ever since Han Tie gained support from the Baoshang Martial Arts Alliance, he has been arrogant.

Never before had he been humiliated like this, especially by a young boy not yet fully matured.

“Damn it, you’re asking for death!”

Enraged, Han Tie clenched his Iron Fist, the veins on his arms bulging out like serpents.

Seeing Han Tie seething with anger, everyone present was taken aback and looked at Li Chen with sympathy.

Who else to provoke if not the Martial Arts Alliance?

Isn’t this akin to committing suicide due to being tired of living?

Seeing such a handsome youth as Li Chen about to be splattered with blood on the streets, some of the more timid women and children in the crowd closed their eyes in fear.

Pan Lian, Zhao Chen, and others felt smug and took delight in the misfortune of Li Chen and Zhao Yuqing.

However, the next moment was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Han Tie, as robust as the North-east Bear, suddenly felt an excruciating pain in his knee and fell to the ground with a “thud”.

Li Chen remained standing in his place, his eyes filled with disdain.

“Dare to act tough in front of me without the strength, who gave you the confidence?”

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Han Tie shivered, as if realizing something.

Now, he finally understood where he had seen Li Chen before.

It turns out, this person is the Alliance Leader of their Martial Arts Alliance, the stunningly brilliant Young Master and Immortal Master Li, who single-handedly subdued the Jiangnan Thirteen Provinces!

Realizing this, Han Tie broke out in a cold sweat, his entire body slumping to the ground like mud.

“This subordinate deserves death, I failed to recognize Tai Mountain and I hope for the Alliance Leader’s punishment!”

Hearing Han Tie’s words, everyone was left speechless.

Who else could be called the Alliance Leader by Han Tie, if not the peerless Immortal Master Li?

Turns out, this young man is the recently famous legendary figure, Immortal Master Li!

Zhao Yikuan, Pan Lian, and Zhao Chen were all stunned at this revelation.

Immortal Master Li?

How could he be Immortal Master Li?

Li Chen remained calm, with an expression of light clouds and gentle breeze, and coldly said, “You are Han Tie, right?”

“This subordinate, Han Tie, from the Han family in Baishan County!”

The previously arrogant Han Tie, now trembled in fear, his lips quivering uncontrollably.

He knew well that the man before him had easily slain the Dragon Family Ancestor, a powerhouse at the peak of the Late Transformation Realm.

To him, the small Han family was no different from ants.

“Well, let me ask you.

Abusing power for personal gain, bullying others, disrespecting the Alliance Leader, and insubordination; what should be the punishment?”

“Death!”

It took a long while for Han Tie to squeeze these two words of despair through his teeth.

Although he had never dealt with Li Chen before, he was aware of his resolute and fierce disposition.

Having made such a big mistake, he feared that his life might be forfeit here.

Driven by the instinct to survive, the idea of escape flashed through Han Tie’s mind.

However, the next instant, he dismissed this ludicrous thought.

After all, Immortal Master Li could easily kill even a Grandmaster such as the Dragon Family Ancestor, who was at the peak of the Late Transformation Realm.

How could he, a mere Inner Strength Martial Artist, possibly escape?

Besides, he wasn’t alone; he had a family.

One might escape the monks, but not the temple.

By accepting death calmly, perhaps he could ensure his family remained unharmed.

Otherwise, his entire family would surely meet a catastrophic end.

Thinking this, Han Tie struggled no more and solemnly kowtowed three times to Li Chen.

“This subordinate deserves a death of ten thousand deaths, and am willing to die to atone for my crimes!”

Li Chen did not even blink an eye, just looking quietly at the sorrowful Han Tie as if the death of a person was no different to him than the death of a chicken.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuqing, who was kind-hearted, couldn’t bear to watch and tugged Li Chen’s arm.

“Uncle Han took great care of me when I was a child.

Please spare him, okay?”

Li Chen nodded, then turned to glance at the kneeling Han Tie.

“Considering that Yuqing has pleaded for you, I will spare your life.

However, while you can avoid death, you cannot escape punishment.

You are sentenced to half a year of hard labor to reflect on your actions!”

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Han Tie, feeling massively relieved, quickly bowed in thanks.

Zhao Yuqing, looking at Li Chen’s profile, smiled brightly.

Zhao Yikuan, Pan Lian, and Zhao Chen, the family of three, were so frightened that they all collapsed on the ground, their faces pale as ghosts, unable to utter a single word.

Zhao Yuqing stepped forward and helped the knocked-down mother and daughter to their feet.

“Auntie, little sister, are you okay?

Are you injured?”

The middle-aged woman, with tears streaming down her face, grabbed Zhao Yuqing’s hand and thanked her repeatedly.

Zhao Yuqing walked up to Zhao Chen, her eyes wide with anger, and demanded, “Zhao Chen, you ran the red light and injured someone, do you realize your mistake now?”

“I, I, I…” Zhao Chen’s face turned red, and he stammered without being able to say a word.

“Slap!”

Zhao Yikuan stepped forward and mercilessly slapped him across the face.

“You wretch, how have you been raised all this time, and you still haven’t apologized to them?”

Pan Lian, seeing her beloved son being hit, became anxious and quickly stepped forward to protect Zhao Chen.

“What are you doing, hitting him so hard.

What if you hurt him badly, what are you going to do then?”

Zhao Yikuan, furious, shouted, “You just keep protecting him, sooner or later, our entire Zhao family will be destroyed by this wretch’s hands!”

“Why wait for sooner or later, let’s settle this today!”

Having said this, Li Chen clapped his hands and proposed, “Zhao Yikuan, transfer all of the Zhao family’s property to Zhao Yuqing’s name.

Do you agree?”

“I do not agree, why should our family’s property be transferred to her, an outsider?”

Hearing Li Chen’s demand that would seize the inheritance meant for him, Zhao Chen immediately raised his voice in protest.

“If you refuse, then go to hell!”

Having said this, Li Chen waved his sleeve, lifted Zhao Chen up, and then violently slammed him down.

Zhao Chen screamed miserably, and everything went dark as he completely passed out.

“Chen, Chen!”

Pan Lian, seeing her precious son seemingly killed by a slap from Li Chen, cried heartrendingly.

“You devil, you killed my son, I will fight you!”

However, before Pan Lian could stand up and fight Li Chen, she was firmly held back by Zhao Yikuan.

“Immortal Master Li, I am willing to transfer all the property in my name to Yuqing!”

“That is the best, you have one day to handle this matter!”

Having said that, Li Chen gave Zhao Yuqing a look, signaling her to leave with him.

Zhao Yuqing looked back one last time at the man she once called father, her feelings immensely complex.

After walking a hundred meters, Li Chen took out a pill and handed it to Zhao Yuqing.

Zhao Yuqing was momentarily stunned, blinking her eyes and looking at Li Chen with a questioning gaze.

“Take this to Zhao Chen.

If he takes it on the spot, he will come back to life immediately!”

Zhao Yuqing, wise beyond her years, could easily guess the painstaking thought behind Li Chen’s act.

No matter what, the blood ties were unbreakable.

Even if Zhao Yikuan was vile, whether she liked to admit it or not, he was still her biological father.

Li Chen did not want her to feel troubled, which is why he went the extra mile.

He allowed her to hold the pill and bestow favor upon them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuqing’s tears fell like beads off a broken string, streaming down continuously.

Seeing Zhao Yuqing wiping her tears again, Li Chen unconsciously frowned.

“Hey, why are you crying again?

Since last night you’ve been crying non-stop, why can’t you calm down?

It’s no wonder Jia Baoyu said, women are made of water.

Now it seems, he was absolutely right!”

Having said this, Zhao Yuqing quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said, “I must really be made of water, always crying since I was young and also frail and sickly, just like Lin Daiyu in the Dream of the Red Chamber.”

Her eyebrows slightly knit, her eyes conveying mixed feelings of joy.

Despair was evident on her cheeks, and fragility engulfed her entire being.

Tears glistening, her breath faint.

Serene like a delicate flower reflected in the water, her movements as gentle as a willow swaying in the wind.

Her heart truly larger than Bi Gan’s, her illness more severe than Xi Shi’s by a fraction.”

This is a line from Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin, used to describe Lin Daiyu.

If applied to Zhao Yuqing, it fits perfectly.

Zhao Yuqing, she is a modern-day Lin Daiyu!

“Yes, Yuqing.

Do you know how Lin Daiyu died?”

Hearing Li Chen’s question, Zhao Yuqing blinked her eyes and responded, “Didn’t she die from illness, what about it?”

Li Chen said lightly, “Not from illness, but from a fall!”

Zhao Yuqing was surprised, “From a fall?”

Li Chen nodded gravely and said, “Yes, from a fall, as if Lin Daiyu fell right out of the sky?”

Zhao Yuqing: “…”
