Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Being watched by Hong Zhen Ting_1

"Yes, he is standing downstairs," Lin Huanfeng sneaked a smile.

"What is he here for?" Lin Chuxue asked involuntarily, feeling inwardly pleased.

"Didn’t I just tell you he came here specifically to check on you and see how you’re recovering. But since you don’t want to see him, let’s drop the matter," Lin Huanfeng said.

"Even though I don’t want to see him, he is a distinguished guest of the Lin family now and grandfather holds him in high esteem. I should meet him," Lin Chuxue decided, shooed Lin Huanfeng out of the room, and went into the cloakroom to change her clothes.

"Where is your sister?"

Seeing Lin Huanfeng coming downstairs alone, Lin Zhiyuan quickly asked.

"She said she would come down in a moment," Lin Huanfeng replied.

"This girl is really unruly. I hope Mr. Su forgives her," Lin Zhiyuan added.

"No problem, as long as she is fine. I shall be leaving now," Su Chengyu rose from his seat to go. Lin Huanfeng quickly held him back saying, "Brother Yu, please wait a bit. My sister was anticipating your visit! If you leave without even meeting her, she will surely blame me for not keeping you."

"Why would she anticipate my visit? She dislikes me the most," Su Chengyu laughed.

"Indeed, she was excited to hear about your visit. I predict that in no time, I’ll be calling you my brother-in-law," Lin Huanfeng replied.

"If Mr. Su and Chuxue get married, it would be a great honor for the Lin Family," Lin Zhengxun eagerly chimed in.

Su Chengyu smiled but remained silent. Lin Zhengxun was actively arranging this marriage partly because of his gratitude to Su Chengyu for saving their family, but also because he saw potential in Su Chengyu.

However, if Lin Zhengxun knew that Su Chengyu would eventually become enemies with Hong Zhen Ting, and had now offended Dragon Soul and the Cai Family’s Boxing School, he probably wouldn’t be so eager.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Su, I am turning eighty next week and will be inviting some relatives and friends over for a celebration. I hope that you can attend," Lin Zhengxun invited.

"Sure," Su Chengyu nodded affirmatively.

At this moment, Lin Chuxue elegantly descended from upstairs, wearing a waist-fitted long dress. Her raven hair cascaded down, her eyes sparkled and her teeth shone white. Standing on the staircase, she looked as beautiful and cold as the first snow of winter.

Compared to Xu Nanzhi, Lin Chuxue had an extra bit of aloofness but was less mature and elegant.

"Is Mr. Su leaving?"

Lin Chuxue slowly came down the staircase and seeing that Su Chengyu was leaving, she figured this out and felt a bit gloomy inside.

"Yes, I was told by Huanfeng you’re doing well now, so I would not like to impose anymore," Su Chengyu spoke.

As soon as Lin Chuxue heard this, the joy that had sparked in her eyes instantly cooled and she felt disappointed.

"I am fine, thank you for your concern, Mr. Su. As you are leaving, please feel free, I will not accompany you out," Lin Chuxue finished speaking and turned to go upstairs.

"Chuxue, how dare you be so rude to Mr. Su!" Lin Zhiyuan reprimanded.

With head held high, Lin Chuxue went back to her room. Su Chengyu touched his nose, thinking who could bear her hot temper?

"Mr. Su, this..."

"It’s alright! I’ll take my leave now!"

After Su Chengyu left the Lin Villa, Lin Chuxue returned to her room and could no longer hold back her frustration. She gnashed her teeth and cursed, "Bastard Su Chengyu, is this how you check on someone? Showing absolutely no sincerity. Do you really think I care about you? Bastard! Bastard!"

Not only was Lin Chuxue aloof, but she also had the pride of a rich and imperious young lady. She had deliberately chosen her best dress, but to her surprise, Su Chengyu was already leaving. This made Lin Chuxue feel that she had read too much into their relationship, causing her ladylike temper to explode, and she seethed with shame and anger.

After venting some of her fury, Lin Chuxue opened her window and stepped onto the balcony just in time to see her second uncle, Lin Zhihua, and Lin Chu Yin had arrived.

Lin Zhihua and Lin Chu Yin met Su Chengyu and quickly went over to greet him.

From afar, Lin Chuxue couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but she could see Lin Chu Yin chatting and laughing with Su Chengyu, which made her feel even more unhappy, her eyes becoming colder.

Meanwhile, in the No.1 Villa of Yulong Bay, Hong Zhen Ting’s butler came over with a newspaper.

"Mr. Hong, the Top 10 Martial Arts Masters in Lin Jiang list has been updated," the butler mentioned.

"Any changes?" Hong Zhen Ting asked.

"Substantial changes. A newcomer, who was previously unknown, has suddenly surged into the top five, replacing the spot of Hou Congsheng."

As the butler spoke, he deliberately glanced at Xu Nanzhi who was sitting and reading a book.

However, Xu Nanzhi seemed as if she hadn’t heard him, her eyes remaining fixed on the book, unmoving.

"Oh? To replace Hou Congsheng’s spot, someone must be at least a mid-Ninth Grade in strength. You called him an unknown newcomer? What’s his name?"

Hong Zhen Ting personally cut an apple and placed it next to Xu Nanzhi.

"His name is Su Chengyu."

Hong Zhen Ting frowned and turned to Xu Nanzhi, who already knew that Su Chengyu was a cultivator from the night before. She was neither shocked nor agitated and remained as calm as ever.

("South Branch (Nanzhi), you don’t seem surprised at all. Did you already know?"

Playing with the fruit knife in his hands, Hong Zhen Ting stared intensely at Xu Nanzhi.

"I took no interest in the Martial Arts Masters list."

Xu Nanzhi turned a page of her book, coldly replying.

"One of your bar employees has jumped into the top five on the Martial Arts Masters list, aren’t you interested in that?" Hong Zhen Ting continued his questioning.

Even though Hong Zhen Ting had already investigated Su Chengyu and confirmed that there were no connections between Su Chengyu and Xu Nanzhi, his naturally suspicious nature kept him probing.

"Su Chengyu? It’s probably not the same person," Xu Nanzhi said.

At this point, the butler spoke up: "Ma’am, it is the same person. The Su Chengyu on the Martial Arts Masters list is indeed an employee of your bar."

"Oh... he seemed to have resigned a few days ago. Even if he gets on the Martial Arts Masters list, what does it have to do with me?"

Xu Nanzhi still didn’t show any surprise, and calmly replied.

"Why did he resign?" Hong Zhen Ting asked.

"I’m not sure. I left the bar’s affairs to Liu Yan," Xu Nanzhi finished speaking. She closed the book in her hands and coldly stated, "Hong Zhen Ting, you don’t need to spend any more effort on prying. My life is in your hands, you can decide whether I live or die. It might be better to just kill me, I’m tired of living anyway."

"Nanzhi, how could I bear to kill you? You know better than anyone how much I love you," Hong Zhen Ting said, taking Xu Nanzhi’s hand.

"I thank you, but I don’t need it."

A flash of coldness flickered in Hong Zhen Ting’s eyes. He swung his large hand and slapped Xu Nanzhi’s face, causing the corner of her mouth to bleed.

He stood up and coldly stated, "I don’t care whether you need it or not, but for the rest of your life, don’t even think about escaping from my control. You are right about one thing: your life and death are in my hands. If you want to die, you have to have my permission!"

Xu Nanzhi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with indifference. She rose and left the room.

Hong Zhen Ting told the butler, "Old Zhu, tell Li Yuancang to find a way to test this Su Chengyu."

"Yes, Mr. Hong! However, I don’t think you need to give this order. Upon seeing the updated Martial Arts Masters list, Li Yuancang should already be on his way to gauge Su Chengyu’s strength," the butler replied with a bow.

Hong Zhen Ting waved his hand, signaling the butler to step back.
