Chapter 515: 515 Sister Lan: The person who wants your life! [1 more update]

Lin Wenli still hadn’t reacted because he hadn’t seen any suspicious persons.

Although they had already left Shenzhou University and were on their way back to the main urban area.

Shenzhou University was still some distance from the main urban area, a journey of about an hour by car.

And between the two places lay a vast, boundless forest, which, aside from various plants, was also inhabited by many rare and exotic beasts.

If one were to traverse the forest alone, they would encounter many dangers.

It was said that a certain practical activity of the Shenzhou University’s Sports Academy took place in this forest.

"Right, about eight," Ye Wanlan’s ears had caught the sound of one heartbeat after another, and then, she slowly opened her eyes, "You may use the weapon Little Keli gave you."

Lin Wenli was about to ask where the eight people were when, the next second, several individuals in black hooded outfits blocked the siblings’ path.

They were now a kilometer away from Shenzhou University, no longer within the university’s domain.

Moreover, since Lin Wenli had not officially become a student at Shenzhou University, the university had no reason to specifically send someone to protect him.

There were other candidates nearby who only cast a quick glance before hurrying away to catch their rides.

Such occurrences happened almost every day in the Global Center, and the residents were no longer surprised by them.

It was none of their concern, and no one would offer a helping hand.

Lin Wenli gripped the disc in his hand and scanned the area, "There really are eight of them..."

At that moment, he understood that Ye Wanlan was able to detect these people in advance because of her sufficiently profound inner strength, which enhanced her hearing.

And he was still a beginner, in need of much improvement.

"The order is, kill him," the lead man in black said coldly, looking at Lin Wenli, "And bring the body back for the master to review!"

The eight men in black had completely ignored Ye Wanlan, since their mission’s target was only Lin Wenli.

And as long as Ye Wanlan had the sense to stay out of it, she would know this was not her affair to interfere in.

Seeing Ye Wanlan retreat and choose to leave, the lead man in black sneered contemptuously.

It was said that the people of Shenzhou valued loyalty, willing to go to great lengths for their siblings, but now it seemed that everyone was on their own when disaster struck.

"Go!" the leader of the men in black ordered, "Don’t worry about anyone else, kill Lin Wenli first."

Facing such a force alone for the first time, he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t nervous or scared.

But Lin Wenli also knew clearly that this was an essential path for his growth.

"Phew," Lin Wenli exhaled softly, his eyes gradually firming.

Bring it on!

**

Ye Wanlan did indeed leave, but she hadn’t left the area—instead, she had entered the outer part of the forest.

She watched ahead as if oblivious to anything else.

In secret, a gaze shifted from her and landed on Lin Wenli, who was not far away, fighting the eight men in black.

This was the last man in black out on the mission today; he was responsible for reconnaissance.

Seeing that the eight men in black hadn’t killed Lin Wenli in a short time surprised him.

Moreover, from the look of Lin Wenli’s actions, he was not an ordinary person untrained in martial arts.

Thankfully, their master had warned them to proceed with caution. Otherwise, if they had underestimated their opponent, they might have ended up losing more than they bargained for.

The man in black continued to observe the fight.

"Hey."

Someone spoke in a low voice from behind him.

At the same time, his shoulder was suddenly tapped.

Caught completely off guard, the man in black unexpectedly fell straight from the tree.

With a "thud," his body heavily hit the ground.

Before he could react, a foot was pressed onto his chest.

The pressure was exquisitely measured, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe, yet not enough to kill him from asphyxiation.

The man in black lifted his head with some difficulty and immediately met a pair of chilling eyes, as blue as the sea beneath the sunlight, but with dark undercurrents hidden deep within, ready to unleash a monstrous wave at any moment.

"I’ve always liked to deal with you all according to your own rules," Ye Wanlan looked down at the man in black on the ground, "Today, you’re after my brother’s life."

The man in black couldn’t help but shiver, "You...you’re a member of the Lin Family Main House!"

With such high skill and being female, she could only be from the Yunjing Lin Family!

And this girl had yet to use the legendary Heavenly Music Method!

But the Lin Family holds women in the highest regard, so how could this girl have specifically come out to protect Lin Wenli?

The man in black couldn’t figure it out and only felt the pain on his body intensify, with his limbs growing numb and aching.

"Sister!" At this moment, Lin Wenli ran over, "Everything has been dealt with, this is..."

"The one that slipped the net; don’t let him escape," Ye Wanlan said with a slight smile, "If he runs back, who knows what else he will bring with him, right?"

The last four words were directed at the last of the men in black.

The chill and killing intent in her words were unmistakable, causing one’s liver and gallbladder to tremble.

"You... " the man in black seemed to have realized something, "You are all from the Lin Family Main House!"

Ye Wanlan and Lin Wenli did not bother to explain in response to this statement.

"Good speed, these past few months of training haven’t been in vain," Ye Wanlan turned her head, "This one is even more rubbish than the others; I’ve taken care of him for you."

With that, she exerted some force with her foot.

"Pu—" The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood and soon after, fell silent.

Lin Wenli’s hands were still trembling as he tried to calm the unrest in his heart.

"You don’t kill him, he’ll kill you; hence, show no mercy, cut the weeds and eliminate the roots," Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "Three hundred years have passed, and Global Center has indeed learned the ways of Jianghu from the past of Shenzhou, but in the end, it’s nothing more than superficial."

Lin Wenshen took a few deep breaths, "Let’s go back, Sister."

It was already 6:30 pm when they returned to the main city, and Wen Chaosheng had been on leave these past few days; he had made a reservation at a restaurant in advance and was waiting for Ye Wanlan and Lin Wenli.

"What happened to Brother Lin? You’re drenched in sweat," Wen Chaosheng asked with confusion, "Could it be that today’s questions were very difficult?"

"It’s not that," Lin Wenli shook his head, "We encountered an assassination attempt, just got a bit of exercise, that’s all."

Wen Chaosheng was startled, "An assassination attempt just after the exams today? That was quick, wasn’t it?"

"Quick?" Ye Wanlan looked up upon hearing this, "I initially thought they would act on the night after the interview results were announced, unfortunately, I waited all night and not a soul came."

This revelation stunned both Lin Wenli and Wen Chaosheng.

"A swift sword cuts through the mess," Ye Wanlan remarked carelessly, "Pity that many understand the word ’swift’ only superficially."

It was a bland statement, but Wen Chaosheng already felt a cold sweat running down his spine.

No wonder, at the beginning when the group was formed, both Kristin Constans and Estelle Rubinstein had said—

As a friend, YN is entirely trustworthy.

But she must never become an enemy because if you do, you won’t even know how you died.

"No wonder you are sweating so much," Wen Chaosheng continued, "But Brother Lin, for those who want to kill you, never show mercy. A moment of soft-heartedness will only make your enemies think you are easy to bully and what follows is their endless encroachment."

Lin Wenli nodded slightly, indicating that he had taken note.

"Sigh, only the main city is a bit quieter, other places, tsk, people die every day," Wen Chaosheng shook his head, "But as long as you stay inside Shenzhou University and don’t come out, there shouldn’t be any danger. If there is, Sister YN will certainly take the life of that mad dog!"

The scuffle didn’t last long, but Lin Wenli was greatly exhausted; after consuming three whole roast chickens, he finally understood why Ye Wanlan’s appetite was so big.

Once Inner Strength is in motion, consumption is also greater.

"Wenli, I’ll have Chao Sheng accompany you back to the hotel later," Ye Wanlan said, "I have some things to handle."

Lin Wenli nodded, "Sister, be safe."

Wen Chaosheng thought to himself, it should be others who need to be careful.

After the meal and returning to the hotel, Lin Wenli was on time for his video call with Lin Huaijin.

He naturally didn’t tell Lin Huaijin about the assassination attempt.

After all, in Lin Huaijin’s mind, he had always been an upbeat and enthusiastic student.

After reporting on today’s exam and his meals, Lin Wenli collapsed onto the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

**

Deep into the night, at half-past eleven.

"Sir, our people we sent out haven’t come back, and I don’t know if something’s gone wrong," the youth asked carefully, "and they can’t be contacted either."

"These incompetents, they can’t even handle one person from Shenzhou," the middle-aged man said coldly, "If Lin Wenli isn’t taken care of this time, and he enters Shenzhou University, then it will become difficult."

Of course, there’s plenty of intrigue within Shenzhou University, but openly killing someone is simply impossible.

The young man thought for a moment before opening his mouth to speak, but before he could finish,

"Bang!" The door to the room was suddenly flung open.

A gust of wind surged in, stirring the leaves beside them rustling, rendering one momentarily unable to open their eyes.

The middle-aged man shielded himself from the wind that blew toward him, both alarmed and furious, "Who?!"

Footsteps sounded, one step after another, as if stepping on one’s heart.

"The one who’s here to take your life."
