Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Lin Dong’s Younger Female Cousin
Ten minutes later, Li Qingcang opened his eyes.
To his surprise, he discovered that the chronic illness in his body had vanished.
His Dantian had recovered!
"My chronic illness is truly cured."
Li Qingcang was overwhelmed with excitement, the malady that had troubled him for twenty years had just been healed by Lin Dong.
He immediately knelt down again.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Lin Dong helped him up and asked, "Captain Li, do you know where the Chen Family’s old mansion from back in the day is? I’d like to take a look!"
"Of course, I will take the Young Master there right away," Li Qingcang hurriedly said.
Following that, Li Qingcang led Lin Dong towards the Chen Family’s old mansion!
The Chen Family, where Lin Dong’s mother had lived, was once the first family of Jiangbei.
The mansion of the Chen Family was also a famous existence. But now, it had already turned into a piece of scorched earth.
Twenty years ago, Chen Beiming had killed Lin Dong’s grandfather, uncles, and others, then set a fire that burned down the Chen Family Mansion.
Even after twenty years had passed, one could still see the scorched earth from the fire.
Now the scorched ground was overgrown with wild grass, utterly desolate.
The clay walls that had collapsed, collapsed; those that were scorched, scorched; the grandeur of the original Chen Mansion was no longer discernible.
Seeing this scene, Li Qingcang sighed.
"Back in the day, the Chen Mansion was the foremost luxury mansion in Jiangbei! But now, things have completely changed."
Lin Dong looked around, clenching his fists.
An unintentional killing intent began to seep out of his body.
Suddenly, he saw several tombstones standing in a patch of scorched earth ahead.
Lin Dong quickly walked over there.
He saw there were four tombstones standing solemnly.
They belonged to Lin Dong’s grandfather Chen Huaian, Lin Dong’s uncle and aunt, and Lin Dong’s older male cousin.
All four of them had been killed by Chen Beiming!
"Captain Li, did you erect these tombstones?" Lin Dong asked, suppressing the grief and killing intent in his heart as he spoke to Li Qingcang.
Li Qingcang shook his head. "No."
"Then who could it be?" Lin Dong was taken aback and muttered to himself.
"Young Master, look. There’s some fresh fruit tribute in front of the tombstones. Those offerings look quite fresh; someone must have come to worship recently," Li Qingcang observed, pointing at the front of the tombstones.
Lin Dong noticed this too.
This made him even more puzzled.
When the Chen Family suffered this catastrophe, many families in Jiangbei were all too eager to give them a kick while they were down. Each and every one of them came forward to take their share of the spoils.
But who would be so kind as to erect tombstones for the people of the Chen Family?
At that moment, Lin Dong suddenly noticed someone hiding in the shadows.
He quickly turned his head and shouted in a particular direction:
"Who’s there, come out!"
With a "swoosh," just as Lin Dong finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared.
Upon appearing, the figure immediately bowed and said, "Young master, it is me, Long Ying!"
It turned out to be Long Ying.
Seeing Long Ying, Li Qingcang too was extremely shocked.
"Lord Long Ying, what are you doing here?"
Long Ying gave him a slight smile, "I arrived in Jiangbei long ago. I just didn’t come to find you, as I’ve been investigating some of the past events in secret!"
At that moment, Lin Dong turned to Long Ying and asked, "Uncle Long Ying, were these tombstones erected by you for my grandfather and the others?"
Long Ying shook his head, "No, someone else did."
"Who is it?"
"Young master, it’s your younger female cousin, Chen Xi!"
"My cousin? My uncle’s daughter? She’s still alive in this world?" Lin Dong instantly became excited, and in that moment, the temperature surrounding them plummeted.
Long Ying nodded and sighed, "She’s still alive, it’s just that, sigh, her current situation is not good!"
"She’s also had a tough life these past few years!"
"Where is she now?" Lin Dong immediately asked, "What happened to her?"
After a moment of hesitation, Long Ying said, "Young master, when your cousin Chen Xi experienced the destruction of the Chen Family, she was still in her swaddling clothes."
"Perhaps because she was so young, they spared her life!"
"The Chen Family raised her to be a maid for Chen Beiming’s daughter. That daughter of Chen Beiming’s, Chen Yingxue, is an exceptionally ruthless woman."
"During the years Chen Xi served as her maid, she endured horrendous abuse from her. Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would violently beat Chen Xi."
"When Chen Xi was sixteen, out of jealousy over her beauty being greater than hers, she cut Chen Xi’s face, inflicting facial disfigurement on her..."
"What?" Hearing this, Lin Dong was overwhelmed with a torrent of killing intent!
When he first learned that his cousin was still alive, he was filled with surprise.
But upon hearing of his cousin’s ordeals over the years, he was angry. He wished he could destroy the Chen Family that instant and shatter those people into ten thousand pieces!!
"These tombstones were all erected by your cousin. She comes here to worship every once in a while."
"Where is my cousin now?" Lin Dong asked through clenched teeth, his voice deliberate and slow.
"She should be with Chen Yingxue right now. Chen Yingxue is attending an evening banquet in Jiangbei tonight, and she is currently at the Jiangbei Grand Hotel!"
"Let’s go to the Jiangbei Grand Hotel!" Killing intent enveloped Lin Dong, causing the temperature within dozens of miles to plummet.
Under the onslaught of this overwhelming intent to kill, even Long Ying and Li Qingcang, two Half-Step Earth Realm powerhouses, felt as if they were struggling to breathe.
By the time they came to their senses, Lin Dong’s figure had already vanished from the original location.
The two hurried to follow, heading in the direction of the Jiangbei Grand Hotel...
