Chapter 540: Chapter 455 Mobilizing Troops and Commanders + Chapter 456 Successes and Failures_4

That future growth could be highly anticipated.

"If it were..."

Zhou Ping’an thought of some people and events within the city, paused for a moment, then decided to clarify.

"If you encounter someone from the Lin Family, what would you do, Third Miss?"

"If they don’t appear before me, naturally it doesn’t matter; I would treat them as strangers. But if they really obstruct the progress of my army, then the only option is armed confrontation..."

At this point, Lin Huaiyu paused.

"Since the day my mother died and couldn’t be buried in the Lin Family Cemetery, I’ve had no relationship with them, not to mention..."

The words left unsaid were clear to Zhou Ping’an.

To curry favor with a True Disciple of the Cloud Water Sect and secure benefits for one’s own family,

the Lin Family even thought about consigning Lin Huaiyu to a scoundrel.

Such a matter was utterly indefensible.

Fang Yu’s reputation stank all the way down the mountains from the Cloud Water Sect; everyone knew he was skilled at seducing beauties and often ruined lives, leaving behind many aggrieved female spirits.

Such a vile person, if not for the protection of the Cloud Water Sect, would have been dealt with as a rapist and murderer as soon as he left the mountains, likely by some justice-seeking elder.

How could he still hold a high position within the Immortal Sect as a True Disciple?

For the Lin Family to send Lin Huaiyu to such a creature showed that there was no familial affection to speak of.

This was Lin Huaiyu’s inner demon.

Though she never spoke of it, Zhou Ping’an knew the deep-seated pain and intense hatred hidden in her heart.

"Should it really happen, shall I take action?"

Zhou Ping’an didn’t mention that Lin’s two brothers and that Fang Yu had already been slashed into pieces by him, turning into mere filth.

He had also considered sneaking into the Lin Residence to eliminate those who had wronged Lin Huaiyu.

But upon reflection, he couldn’t.

The two Lin brothers continuously slandered Lin Huaiyu, showing no respect for Lady Bailin; such scum deserved to be killed.

However, his father, Lin Zhongguang, and his stepmother, Madam Wang,

were Lin Huaiyu’s biological father and legitimate mother.

To kill or not was a dilemma.

He had to consider Lin Huaiyu’s feelings, her honor.

He couldn’t let her bear the stigma of patricide and matricide.

"No, I will personally handle it. The Lin brothers and their mother; I will strike them down myself. But as for Lin... Lin Zhongguang,

I can’t remember him ever holding me since I was a child, and my mother hardly ever saw him.

When Madam Wang and her son bullied her, he said nothing.

In the end, he didn’t show up when my mother died, so there’s little familial affection to speak of.

Given I’ve spent so many years eating and living at the Lin Residence, I won’t be too extreme; I’ll just cripple his limbs and destroy his martial arts, sparing his life."

"How is it, am I too ferocious for you?" Lin Huaiyu said with a smile.

"No."

Zhou Ping’an gently stroked her hair, "If it were me, I might have been more ruthless, but if you want to personally kill the Lin brothers, it’s a bit too late."

Thinking of the grievances that had been suppressed in Lin Huaiyu’s heart for so many years, Zhou Ping’an felt he had acted too hastily in the past.

He hadn’t given her a fulfilling opportunity.

After thinking it over, he decided not to hide anything from Lin Huaiyu.

He told her about the time when the Lin brothers suggested digging up Lady Bailin’s bones.

Upon hearing this, Lin Huaiyu’s hair stood on end.

"These two Bastards..."

"They got off easy."

"But what about Fang Yu?" After the anger passed, Lin Huaiyu calmed down and remembered the incident where they had been ambushed late at night and almost fell into a trap set by an elder of the sect.

"No worries, we don’t have to be too concerned now. After this battle, the situation will soon turn around."

Zhou Ping’an said, comforting her with a smile.

Ahead lay Guangyun County City.

The towering walls, like a giant beast, crouched quietly on the plains.

The gathered army beneath the city.

The air was filled with the smell of warfare, reaching from afar.

Victory or defeat hung in the balance at this battle.
