Chapter 561: Chapter 560: The Identity of Lin Zhenshan

In the afternoon, Su Yang stayed around to play with Niuniu. The little one, having eaten a full meal, was exceptionally happy while playing.

Lin Qing followed Niuniu all afternoon, fearing that she might fall or something, and later, she also started playing joyfully with Niuniu.

Lin Zhenshan sat under a tree, watching his daughter and granddaughter from a distance, his face showing nothing but affection.

The only thing disrupting the atmosphere was Wang Qian, whose face remained gloomy throughout. Having been slapped by Lin Zhenshan at noon, he didn’t dare hold a grudge against Lin Zhenshan and could only resent Su Yang instead.

Moreover, Lin Qing’s attitude towards Su Yang made Wang Qian even angrier.

Wang Qian was Lin Zhenshan’s disciple and had grown up with Lin Qing since childhood. In his heart, he had already considered Lin Qing to be off-limits to others. However, Lin Qing had never been that close to him. And now, seeing the way Lin Qing looked at Su Yang, which clearly had some special undertones, it made Wang Qian even more enraged.

Su Yang could naturally discern Wang Qian’s thoughts but didn’t pay him any attention.

After sitting with Lin Zhenshan and chatting casually for a while, Su Yang had finally figured out the identities of Lin Zhenshan and his family.

The Lin family had also belonged to a large clan in the past, members of the Lin Family of Pingbei Province.

However, many years ago, Lin Zhenshan’s grandfather had been defeated in a family conflict and was expelled, becoming a branch of the Lin family. Throughout several generations, by the time it reached Lin Zhenshan’s generation, their connection to the Lin family had become increasingly tenuous.

It was only because of some fortuitous encounters that Lin Zhenshan was able to become a disciple of a powerful master, which had led to his achievements today. After entering the Fusion Realm, the Lin family began to take notice of them again and once tried to bring them back into the fold.

But just when Lin Zhenshan’s branch was about to be received back into the family, Lin Zhenshan’s eldest daughter and son-in-law caused trouble, offending Cheng Wangong of the Ten Great Families’ Cheng Family. The son-in-law was killed on the spot, and the eldest daughter, while pregnant, was severely injured and nearly died.

Enraged, Lin Zhenshan sought the Lin family’s help to punish Cheng Wangong. However, with the Cheng Family being much stronger than the Lin family, the Lin family dared not antagonize them. In fact, the Lin family once again abandoned Lin Zhenshan’s branch, and to show their sincerity to the Cheng Family, they even severely wounded Lin Zhenshan.

Lin Zhenshan managed to escape and, with great effort, saved his eldest daughter’s life. But after giving birth to Niuniu, she ultimately passed away.

And because of her congenital deficiencies, Niuniu had such a problematic condition, making eating a struggle for many years.

Lin Zhenshan had been living outside with his younger daughter Lin Qing and Niuniu, never setting foot in Pingbei Province until now. His return this time was prompted by news of the emergence of a Divine Medicine in the River God Cave, hoping to obtain it to cure Niuniu’s illness.

Sitting beside Lin Zhenshan, Su Yang knew he could have seen all these things using the Soul Searching Technique, directly from Lin Qing’s mind. But Lin Zhenshan was very honest with him and didn’t deceive him in the slightest.

"Mr. Lin, aren’t you afraid that by telling me these things, I might inform the Lin family?" Su Yang asked with a faint smile.

"You?" Lin Zhenshan laughed heartily: "You won’t do that!"

"Mr. Lin trusts me so much?" Su Yang smiled lightly.

"I’ve traveled outside for many years, priding myself on being able to read people," Lin Zhenshan said earnestly. "You’re not that kind of villain!"

Su Yang smiled faintly, leaned back in his chair, and said softly, "Mr. Lin, appearances can be deceiving."

"I understand!" Lin Zhenshan chuckled. "Actually, by choosing to return to Pingbei Province, I’ve already put my life at stake. As long as I can save Niuniu, even if I were to die in Pingbei Province, what of it?"

Su Yang watched Niuniu playing joyfully outside and sighed softly. Lin Zhenshan truly devoted all his love to this granddaughter!

At three in the afternoon, Zhao Wunian came downstairs and summoned everyone to prepare for the journey into the mountain.

Everyone was getting ready; packing up their belongings, Lin Zhenshan carried Niuniu on his back and followed the main troop into the mountains.

"Young Master Su, once we enter the mountain, try to stay close to me," Lin Zhenshan whispered. "These people are all quite strong, and each has their own ulterior motives. It’s hard to guarantee that nothing will happen. This time, the items emerging from the River God Cave are very valuable, and there are many people coming. You must not be careless!"

Su Yang smiled and nodded. Lin Zhenshan really was a good man.

Wang Qian followed behind, and he gave Su Yang a cold glance, "Since he dares to enter the mountain, it means he must have some strength. Master, by doing this, aren’t you making Young Master Su lose face?"

"Ah?" Lin Zhenshan was startled for a moment, not having considered that.

"It’s nothing. I’ll just follow behind Mr. Lin," Su Yang said with a smile. This Wang Qian really was quite sinister—seeing Lin Zhenshan willing to protect him, he immediately tried to embarrass Lin Zhenshan so that Lin Zhenshan would stop helping Su Yang.

"Alright!" Lin Zhenshan nodded and then marched boldly at the front.

Lin Qing followed behind Lin Zhenshan, with Wang Qian right behind them, effectively squeezing Su Yang to the very back.

Su Yang didn’t mind it, but Lin Qing, realizing something was not right, turned around and came back to walk with Su Yang, which caused Wang Qian’s face to turn even greener with anger.

The River God Cave was on River God Mountain, not far from here. Zhao Wunian and his group had already prepared vehicles, and half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of River God Mountain.

Once there, everyone realized that many cars had already been parked. A lot of people were gathering there, all waiting to go up the mountain.

When Zhao Wunian and his party arrived, quite a few people came over to greet him. After all, the eldest young master of the Zhao Family of Yangchuan City was a well-known figure in Pingbei Province.

There, Su Yang turned his head to look around and did not see the masked woman he had encountered before. It seemed that, after the events of the previous night, they wouldn’t choose to ascend the mountain so openly.

While everyone was exchanging pleasantries, suddenly, a convoy drove in. Even though the crowd consisted of strong individuals, the convoy entered arrogantly, forcefully clearing a path through the crowd.

"Who are these people?"

"Have to be from the Seven Great Families, right? Do we even need to ask?"

"But there are cars from the provincial city, aren’t there?"

"It’s said that the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province have also sent people over. Otherwise, the mere Seven Great Families wouldn’t dare to be so overbearing!"

"With the Seven Great Families of Zifeng City mixed with the people of the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province, what’s going to happen this time? Won’t all the divine medicine end up in their hands?"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, all showing uneasy faces. Even Zhao Wunian was frowning at this point.

Alone, he did not fear the Seven Great Families, but if the people from the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province were also involved, then he would need to weigh his options carefully.
