Elder Hong leaped forward and joined the fight against Uncle Gu.
Gu Wanqing also ended her domineering kiss.
She released Lin Ao’s lips, her red lips still glistening with a faint trace of moisture.
Lin Ao felt mentally exhausted and thought, finally, it’s over.
He looked up and saw that after Elder Hong joined in, Uncle Gu had fallen into a disadvantage, struggling to hold on.
“Young Master Lin, Miss, you should leave first!”
Uncle Gu knew he would be defeated soon and wanted them to escape while there was still time.
Seeing this, Xiao Fan withdrew from the fight, leaving Uncle Gu entangled with Elder Hong, and walked toward Lin Ao and Gu Wanqing.
Liu Nian felt extremely anxious. She was too weak right now and couldn’t help at all. Why hadn’t the reinforcements she called arrived yet?
The moment she saw Xiao Fan appear, she knew something would go wrong. She had used the smartwatch Li Wanyu gave her to send a message, saying someone was trying to kill Lin Ao and Gu Wanqing.
At the same time, she also sent a message to her aunt, lying that she had been kidnapped by Xiao Fan and was at the amusement park.
The moment Li Wanyu received Liu Nian’s message, she immediately rushed over. Lin Dong’s face turned dark, a powerful aura filling the car. Li Wanyu was the same. Neither of them spoke, like volcanoes about to erupt.
Meanwhile, Liu Nian’s aunt, Liu Menghan, looked puzzled. She had received a message from an unknown number claiming to be Liu Nian, saying she had been kidnapped by someone named Xiao Fan and was now at the amusement park.
During the two days Liu Nian had gone missing, the Liu Family mobilized everyone to search for her. Liu Menghan didn’t dare involve the police because she feared that if news of Liu Nian’s disappearance spread, she would be in even greater danger.
It had only been a year since her brother and sister-in-law’s incident, and those responsible had not all been found.
So she had no choice but to conceal Liu Nian’s disappearance.
No wonder the amusement park manager found no clues when he went to the police station.
So was this message real or fake? Even if it was fake, she had to check.
She immediately ordered a car to be prepared and set off for the amusement park.
…
“Wanqing, it’s not too late for you to leave that man now.”
Xiao Fan slowly walked up to Lin Ao and Gu Wanqing, his eyes bloodshot. He didn’t realize that his current behavior was completely different from before.
Previously, no matter what he thought inside, he never showed it, always maintaining the image of a gentleman.
But now, he was completely different, exposing all his darker sides.
Gu Wanqing was about to shield Lin Ao again, but this time Lin Ao pulled her behind him.
Gu Wanqing stared blankly at his back.
“So you’re Xiao Fan, right? What identity do you think you have to stand here and talk to us?”
As Lin Ao faced Xiao Fan up close, the anger he had suppressed for so long surged through his body. The memories of being killed again and again made his body tremble uncontrollably.
“I am the sect master of Dragon Gate. You’re nothing but a clown sheltered by the Lin Family. You—”
Xiao Fan tried to continue boasting about his identity, but Lin Ao cut him off.
“I’m asking what identity you have between us. Wanqing and I grew up together. Our engagement was arranged since childhood. What right do you have to interfere? You’re not even her friend. Why are you standing there getting angry for no reason? Don’t you think… you’re the real clown?”
Lin Ao’s expression was cold. This was something he had always wanted to say. All of them were too self-righteous.
At worst, I die. Why should I endure this humiliation now?
Lin Ao’s words were like blades, stabbing directly into Xiao Fan’s heart. That final word, “clown,” pushed him into rage.
“Shut up! Wanqing is my woman! The woman chosen by me, the sect master of Dragon Gate! She must obey me. No one else can have her! It’s you, you must have threatened her!”
Xiao Fan looked like he had gone mad, glaring viciously at Lin Ao as he spoke words that sounded absurd.
Gu Wanqing and Liu Nian both noticed that Xiao Fan’s behavior had changed. He had become more arrogant, more narcissistic, even bordering on madness.
A strand of golden energy once again dissipated from his body and flowed into Lin Ao.
“Xiao Fan, don’t force your thoughts onto me. Do you want me to prove it to you again?”
Gu Wanqing looked at Xiao Fan with disgust. Her words provoked both men at once.
[Character current state/thoughts: Reminiscing, but the situation doesn’t allow it!]
Xiao Fan’s eyes turned red as he charged forward. But his target was not Lin Ao. It was Gu Wanqing.
“I’ll kill you! If I can’t have you, no one else can!”
In Xiao Fan’s eyes, Gu Wanqing had betrayed him. He believed he had been cuckolded, and hatred filled his heart. He felt that she had been playing him all along.
Gu Wanqing was startled. Xiao Fan’s speed was too fast. She closed her eyes.
At least this time, she thought, I stood by Lin Ao’s side.
Being able to act on her feelings this time was already enough. And she had kissed him so many times. No regrets.
She felt herself being knocked away and hitting the ground, but the expected pain did not come.
A warm, solid body was pressing over her.
“I’m telling you women, when you face danger, can you stop closing your eyes? Can’t you dodge? Is waiting to die fun?”
She immediately opened her eyes and saw a trace of blood at the corner of Lin Ao’s mouth.
A surge of rage rose in her heart. The scenes of Lin Ao’s past deaths flashed through her mind. Her eyes turned red as she struggled to get up and fight Xiao Fan.
“Stay here quietly. This is between me and him.”
Lin Ao pressed her down firmly, calming her. I, Lin Ao, haven’t fallen so low that I need a woman to protect me.
At the moment Xiao Fan’s attack was about to hit Gu Wanqing, Lin Ao had already pulled her into his arms and taken the punch on his back.
He realized the attack was much weaker than before.
In different timelines, Lin Ao had trained in ancient martial arts. But no matter how strong he became, those people would always be slightly stronger than him.
But this time, Xiao Fan’s punch felt completely different.
Compared to the Xiao Fan he had faced before, this Xiao Fan felt weak. Too weak.
Even if Xiao Fan had not yet reached the Grandmaster Realm, his strength shouldn’t be this low.
If that’s the case… this just got interesting.
Lin Ao sensed a chance to live to 99.
After settling Gu Wanqing on the ground, he stood up.
“Xiao Fan, attacking my woman… have you thought about the consequences?”
Lin Ao looked at Xiao Fan coldly. Xiao Fan was equally shocked. Why didn’t that punch kill him?
He was an Innate martial artist, one who could fight across levels against Grandmasters.
And yet he couldn’t kill a pampered young master from a family?
“Next, let me have some fun with you. Wanqing, take care of Liu Nian.”
When Gu Wanqing heard Lin Ao call her his woman, her heart started beating uncontrollably fast. It felt even stronger than when she kissed him. A faint blush appeared on her face as she picked up Liu Nian and retreated to the side.
“Lin Ao!!! Go to hell!”
Xiao Fan charged forward again.
