Chapter 437: Chapter 457: Did You Plan All This? _1

"So bitter..."

Feng Yazhen leaned against the head of the bed, took the medicine bowl from Lin Chen, picked up the spoon, and took a sip. Her pretty face crumpled into a frown.

Lin Chen was speechless. She was already an Innate Grandmaster; was she still afraid of drinking bitter medicine?

She acted like a spoiled child, which was ridiculous.

Lin Chen skillfully took out a piece of coconut milk candy, peeled off the plastic wrap, held the candy, and shook it at Feng Yazhen.

Feng Yazhen frowned, with a bitter face. She drank the medicine in the bowl, her expression as if she was drinking poison.

Without waiting for Feng Yazhen to speak, Lin Chen handed the candy to her.

Feng Yazhen leaned in and bit the candy from Lin Chen’s hand. After sucking on it for a few moments and letting the sweet taste spread in her mouth, her expression finally relaxed.

"What kind of medicine do you give me? It’s so bitter. Can’t you add sugar to it?"

Lin Chen replied, speechless, "Good medicine tastes bitter, but it is helpful for your illness. Surely you know that."

Feng Yazhen pouted, "Alright, you’re the doctor, I can’t argue with you."

Lin Chen asked with a laugh, "How do you feel now?"

Feng Yazhen gave a thumbs-up, "Your medical skills are amazing. My chest doesn’t feel tight anymore, and my energy is flowing smoothly. I guess it’ll take just one or two more days for me to make a full recovery."

Lin Chen nodded, "That’s good, just don’t take such risks again in the future."

Feng Yazhen argued, "I did it to help you."

Lin Chen firmly said, "Even if it’s for me, it’s not allowed. We should discuss things and not bear everything alone. Just like this time, if you had told me, I could have let that person cooperate with you as a two-against-one situation, it would have been easy, and there would be no need for you to lie in bed drinking bitter medicine now."

Feng Yazhen had no words to argue, so she agreed obediently.

After all, what Lin Chen said was true.

Not wanting Lin Chen to continue lecturing her, Feng Yazhen changed the subject, "Wang Lurong is waiting for us in the Wang family’s ancestral home. What do you plan to do about it?"

Lin Chen thought for a while, "The main issue is that we don’t know the strength of Wang Lurong. The higher the realm, the bigger the gap in combat power may be within the same realm. If the gap is too large, won’t we be serving ourselves up for defeat?"

Feng Yazhen laughed, "My aunt isn’t that weak. I can definitely beat an ordinary Innate Grandmaster. I killed Wang Fuyuan with ease. I only didn’t kill him without injury because I was worried he would run away. That’s the reason I went to stop him alone."

Toward the end, Feng Yazhen couldn’t help but defend herself indirectly, but when Lin Chen stared at her, her voice unconsciously lowered a bit.

Lin Chen pondered, "It’s best to be foolproof. I don’t want you to get into any trouble."

Feng Yazhen asked curiously, "Could you tell me about your collaborator? What’s their strength?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "I don’t know the strength of Shen Yun Sect’s Zhang Yun. After all, I’m not an Innate Grandmaster; it’s hard for me to measure."

Feng Yazhen was surprised, "Is it really Zhang Yun? Wasn’t she humiliated by you and had to kneel down in front of hundreds of people? She must hate you and wish to kill you, yet she’s joining forces with you?"

Lin Chen briefly explained his relationship with Zhang Yun, and Feng Yazhen suddenly realized, "So if you die, she won’t be able to survive either. Haha, no wonder! Others would never guess that she’s the one teaming up with you since everyone thinks she hates you and wants you dead."

Lin Chen nodded, "Zhang Yun agreed to help me on the condition that her identity remains hidden. So, it’s fine as long as you know, Aunt."

As Feng Yazhen risked her life to help Lin Chen, he naturally couldn’t hide it from her. Moreover, if they were to deal with Wang Lurong, the two of them might have to join forces again.

Feng Yazhen nodded, "Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone."

After a pause, Feng Yazhen asked, "If Zhang Yun and I join forces to deal with Wang Lurong, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "Wang Lurong is the Wang family’s strongest expert and their backbone. I’m still somewhat worried."

Feng Yazhen suddenly smiled, "There’s a way to ensure victory."

Lin Chen asked, "What’s the plan?"

Feng Yazhen smiled, "Let Feng family’s ancestor take action. With his help, plus me and Zhang Yun, Wang Lurong is bound to die!"

Lin Chen frowned, "Didn’t the Feng family’s ancestor already express that he won’t interfere in this matter, as it’s unrelated to the Feng family?"

Feng Yazhen grinned slyly, like a fox, "That was then; this is now. At first, you killed six grandmasters of the Wang family, and the Feng family could remain indifferent. But now that I’ve killed three great grandmasters and one innate grandmaster of the Wang family, do you think the Feng family can still remain uninvolved? Of course, the Feng family can sever ties with me to stay uninvolved, but an Innate Grandmaster who’s only 34 years old, do you think they’d be willing to let me go?"

Lin Chen’s eyes widened as he stared at Feng Yazhen incredulously, "Was this planned from the moment you left the Feng family with me?"
