NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Su Wushi's Scheme
After the Seventh Princess left.
The Family Heads of the Yun Family and Bai Family immediately approached Lin Yi.
"Lin Yi, if you have time, you are welcome to visit our Yun Family. Our doors are always open for you."
"Lin Yi, our Bai Family will also be your forever friend."
Both Family Heads displayed their intentions to forge ties with Lin Yi.
Although Lin Yi had offended the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy,
he had gained the favor of the Seventh Princess!
Besides, the Su Family had its eyes on them and would inevitably make a move against their families sooner or later, and the Lin Family was undoubtedly their prospective ally!
Moreover, the Lin Family now had Lin Yi.
Even though he didn't have a Dantian and his potential for the future was limited, it did not affect his current strength!
He was definitely one of Qing City's top combat forces!
"These two opportunistic villains!"
Seeing the Family Heads of the Yun and Bai Families fawning over Lin Yi, Su Wushi's expression suddenly darkened.
He could never have dreamed that a cripple without a Dantian could rise to power and that his daughter, a talent of Anomaly Level, would be defeated by Lin Yi!
And now, the young man was siding with the Seventh Princess!
If he had known this would happen, he should have set aside his pride and personally taken out this kid!
"If this kid goes to the Imperial City and joins the Seventh Princess, he would become a tremendous threat to Qing Xue in the future!"
"He must be eliminated before he sets off for the Imperial City!"
A murderous glint flashed in Su Wushi's eyes.
...
At this moment,
on the official road outside Qing City,
a carriage was speeding away from the city.
The person on the carriage was none other than the Seventh Princess, Lu Qingcheng!
Behind the Seventh Princess sat an elderly man in black.
"With Lin Yi lacking a Dantian, his future achievements will be extremely limited. Why does Your Highness place such importance on him and even bestow upon him your personal token?"
The elderly man in black seemed quite dissatisfied with the Seventh Princess giving her personal Jade Token to Lin Yi.
"No Dantian, no future?"
Yet the Seventh Princess shook her head and chuckled, "Elder Feng, when did you become as shortsighted as that old man Song Que?"
Upon hearing this, the elderly man in black frowned.
The Seventh Princess said, "In the Green Ruins Realm, there are some who don't follow the common path but reach the Grandmaster Realm through tempering their meat body."
"Moreover, I remember that in the ancient times, there were ways to cultivate to the summit without relying on the Dantian."
"Such individuals are, after all, very rare."
The elderly man in black simply did not buy into this.
The people the Seventh Princess was referring to were one in ten thousand. Could Lin Yi possibly be that one?
The odds were just too small!
"Think of it as placing a bet. If it turns out to be the right choice, it will be an extremely profitable investment."
"If it's wrong, it's merely my misjudgment, and no one else is to blame."
With an indifferent gaze, the Seventh Princess continued, "Besides, with the undercurrents swirling within Qing City now, if he doesn't have the ability, he might not even make it to the Imperial City!"
"In one month, come back to Qing City. If Lin Yi is dead, retrieve the Jade Token for me."
"Yes!"
The elderly man in black bowed respectfully.
...
Upon returning to Lin Mansion, the entire Lin Family's attitude toward Lin Yi had changed dramatically.
From being a universally despised good-for-nothing, a degenerate, and a pervert,
Lin Yi had become a hero of the Lin Family.
The younger generation of the Lin Family saw Lin Yi as their idol if they were male, while the females regarded him as the man of their dreams.
This made Lin Yi realize the importance of strength!
When you have no strength, nobody believes a word you say!
Once you have strength, people start to believe in you!
And Lin Ning's status within the family naturally rose as well, receiving star treatment. However, she still felt uncomfortable with the change in people's attitudes towards her, feeling like it was all a dream.
"Brother, does that mean no one will dare to bully us ever again?"
Lin Ning looked at Lin Yi and asked.
"Hmm!"
Lin Yi nodded. "If anyone dares to bully you in the future, brother will kill them!"
Lin Yi's words instantly intimidated the surrounding Lin Family disciples.
Some Lin Family disciples had thought about targeting Lin Ning to establish a relationship with Lin Yi.
But upon hearing Lin Yi's words, they immediately dismissed the idea, daring not to harbor any improper thoughts.
"Brother, when are we going to the Imperial City?"
"In a couple of days!"
"That's great, I'll get to play in the Imperial City soon!"
Excitement brimmed on Lin Ning's little face.
However, Lin Yi's eyes were flickering with wisps of sharpness.
He certainly planned to go to the Imperial City, he also needed to find a doctor to treat Lin Ning.
But before that, there was someone he needed to deal with first!
The Su Family, Su Wushi!
No doubt this old thief was also plotting how to eliminate him right now?
...
City Lord Mansion.
A host of Su Family higher-ups were summoned by Su Wushi to discuss the secret affairs of the clan.
"Family Head, do you plan to move against Lin Yi now?"
The speaker was the Su Family Great Elder, who frowned and said, "Lin Yi has just won over Miss Qing Xue and caught the eye of the Seventh Princess. Now the morale of the Lin Family is high; this might not be the best time to start a war."
"We can't wait!"
Su Wushi shook his head, "If we wait any longer, once that kid Lin Yi reaches the Imperial City, he'll be like a dragon in the ocean. If we don't eliminate him early, our Su Family will inevitably be defeated by him!"
"Family Head, both the Yun Family and the Bai Family are currently very close with the Lin Family. If we take action against the Lin Family, these two families will not stand idly by."
Another Su Family Elder spoke up.
"You're right!"
Su Wushi nodded, yet his gaze grew even colder, "That's why we must act swiftly!"
"Strike them with the speed of lightning before they can join forces—wipe them out!"
"Once the Lin Family is gone, the Yun Family and Bai Family will be like grass atop a wall, not worth worrying about!"
Feeling that Su Wushi's words made sense, the other Su Family Elders nodded as well, "Family Head, when do you plan to take action?"
"To avoid any prolonged complications, we will take action tomorrow night!"
"Tomorrow night?"
"Isn't that too hasty?"
The Su Family Elders were all visibly shocked.
Wasn't this too rushed?
"If it wasn't for the Blood Saber Sect's troops, who can only arrive tomorrow, I would have made a move tonight!"
Su Wushi said coldly.
"The Blood Saber Sect? That's a force from Jiang City!"
"Family Head, you've also allied with the Blood Saber Sect?"
The complexions of the Su Family Elders changed slightly.
Their Su Family plotting to eliminate the Lin Family was an internal power struggle within Qing City. If they were to involve an external force like the Blood Saber Sect, they would be breaking the rules!
Furthermore, the Blood Saber Sect was notorious in Jiang City. Its Sect Leader, Lei Bu, was ambitious and had a strong desire for external expansion.
Inviting the deity was easy, but sending it away was hard; now that Su Wushi had brought the Blood Saber Sect into the picture, it was akin to inviting a wolf into one's home!
If things went awry, it could be tantamount to shooting oneself in the foot!
"Family Head, please reconsider allying with the Blood Saber Sect!"
The Su Family Great Elder hastily advised.
"My mind is made up; there's no need to persuade me further!"
Against their expectations, Su Wushi waved his hand decisively, showing an unwavering stance, "Now hurry down and prepare for tomorrow night's operation!"
"If there are any slip-ups, I will hold you responsible first!"
"As you command."
Seeing that Su Wushi had made up his mind, the Su Family Elders had no choice but to give up and withdraw.
"Lin Yi, you will die tomorrow!"
After the Su Family Elders had left, a cold glint flickered in Su Wushi's eyes.
He would not make the same mistake a second time!
This time, to eliminate the young Lin Yi, he would rather invite the wolf into his house, giving up his dominant position in Qing City!
He must utterly crush Lin Yi!
