Long Yan protected Lin Ziyu behind him, watching the newcomers warily. Steward Lin stepped forward and said coldly to the leader, "Hmph, don't be so arrogant. I will kill you today."
The leader laughed heartily and said mockingly, "You old fellows... have forgotten the time when we were chasing you."
"Boss, let me kill this old thing." A younger brother standing next to the leader said viciously, his eyes revealing ferocity and violence.
The leader waved his hand slightly, a smug smile on his face, and replied casually, "Okay, then go ahead! Teach this ignorant old man a lesson."
After receiving the nod, the younger brother let out a cunning laugh and rushed towards Steward Lin like a hungry wolf. His figure was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye he was already in front of Steward Lin.
However, facing the ferocious enemy, Steward Lin remained calm and composed, showing no fear at all. Just as the man was about to charge, Steward Lin skillfully dodged the attack by shifting his body to the side. At the same time, he swung his right fist, striking the man with a thunderous force.
There was only a dull thud, and the man who was hit flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. After falling heavily to the ground, he immediately vomited blood, twitched a few times, and then became motionless, having already died.
Seeing that his men were killed so easily, the leader's face instantly turned gloomy, veins popped out on his forehead, and he roared in anger: "What a useless trash! All of you come at me together! Today I must tear this old guy into pieces!" After that, he personally drew the long sword from his waist and led the charge towards Steward Lin.
Steward Lin didn't panic at all when he saw the enemy rushing towards him. He turned his head to look at the Puppet Crystal people behind him and shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone, follow me to meet the enemy!" Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward to meet the enemy.
The Puppet Crystals were also unafraid. They followed Steward Lin closely, rushing towards the enemy like a pack of tigers descending from the mountains. For a moment, the sound of shouts and weapons clashing resounded throughout the battlefield.
Seeing this, Long Yan pulled Lin Ziyu beside him, and the two slowly retreated to a safe area on the edge of the battlefield and watched the battle quietly.
Because Steward Lin and the Puppet Crystals had previously received a sufficient amount of energy, their combat power was now off the charts. Steward Lin's boxing was fierce, and every move and form contained immense power; while the Puppet Crystals coordinated tacitly, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, making it difficult for the enemy to defend themselves.
Before long, the once arrogant enemy gradually fell into a disadvantage and was beaten back step by step. Finally, under the combined siege of Steward Lin and the Puppet Crystal People, the enemy fell to the ground one after another, completely losing their ability to resist.
After all the enemies fell, Steward Lin's expression was calm, his heart happy, and his energy abundant. This kind of battle was just an appetizer. Then, he turned around and walked towards Long Yan and Lin Ziyu with steady yet respectful steps.
Arriving before the two, Steward Lin bowed slightly and asked respectfully, "Young Master, now that the enemies have been completely eliminated, should we head to the underground city, or should we return to see the master first?"
Long Yan turned to look at Lin Ziyu beside him, and after a moment's thought, he said, "In my opinion, we should go back and visit General Lin. Five days have already passed, and I believe General Lin has recovered as before."
"Five days?" Lin Ziyu couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this. He blinked, obviously not realizing how quickly time had passed. After a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "Brother Yan, let's go back to see Father."
So, Steward Lin led the way, with Lin Ziyu and Long Yan following closely behind. They remained vigilant throughout the journey, moving quickly but without appearing flustered. Before long, they had successfully reached the basement.
Steward Lin reached out and gently pushed open the heavy basement door. The hinges creaked softly. As the sound played, the scene inside the room gradually unfolded before everyone. General Lin was seated at his desk, gazing intently at the map spread out on the table.
Perhaps so absorbed in studying the map, General Lin didn't even notice the sound of someone opening the door. It wasn't until the footsteps grew closer, finally stopping not far in front of him, that General Lin slowly raised his head. When he saw who was coming, a pleased smile spread across his face. He said, "You're back. Did you gain anything on this trip?"
Lin Ziyu called out, "Father," and stood before General Lin. He opened his mouth to ask about his mother, but the words suddenly faltered. After struggling for a moment, he couldn't bring himself to ask, and simply replied, "Father, there are some things I've learned."
General Lin slowly stood up and walked towards Lin Ziyu with steady steps. When he reached Lin Ziyu, he gently raised his hand and patted Lin Ziyu's shoulder, then said earnestly, "Do you want to ask about your mother, or do you want to know if I know that the Nangong family's inheritance is in danger?"
Lin Ziyu nodded without hesitation and responded: “Father, I want to know everything.”
Hearing this, General Lin couldn't help but fall into deep memories of the past. He remembered Nangong Le holding his hand tightly before his death, and in a solemn and urgent tone, he urged: "Brother Cheng, please don't let Ziyu accept that inheritance. Don't let him go no matter what!"
Thinking of this, General Lin took a deep breath and continued, "Zi Yu's mother, A Le, passed away not long after receiving the inheritance. On the eve of her death, she emphasized that Zi Yu must not touch the inheritance. I believe that the Nangong family's inheritance is extremely dangerous. I hope you have returned safely." After saying this, General Lin fixed his gaze firmly on Lin Zi Yu, a look of understanding in his eyes, and said, "Now, I can confirm that you are not my son. Who are you?"
Lin Ziyu shuddered at the words and involuntarily took a step back, looking at General Lin in astonishment. He had never expected his identity to be so easily exposed, so he subconsciously blurted out, "How...how did you know that?"
At this time, Long Yan, who had been silent all the time, rushed to Lin Ziyu's side and stared at General Lin with a vigilant look as if facing a great enemy, as if he was ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
General Lin took a step back and said calmly: "Don't be nervous. When did you start to doubt it... probably when you knew you could practice. Ziyu has been missing a part of his soul power since he was a child, so he can't practice." After saying that, he looked at Lin Ziyu and waited for his answer.
Lin Ziyu gritted his teeth, looked at Long Yan, then turned to look at General Lin and whispered, "Since you've already guessed it, there's no need for me to hide it. I'm indeed not your son, but I have no intention of hurting anyone, and I don't know how I ended up here." He thought for a moment and said, "My name is also Lin Ziyu. I was on a date when someone suddenly rushed out and stabbed me. I passed out, and when I woke up I was Lin Ziyu."
General Lin listened to Lin Ziyu's words, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. "You ended up here after being assassinated? There must be something fishy about this. But don't worry, since you have no ill intentions and have occupied Ziyu's body, it is fate. Everyone in the Lin family recognizes you as a member of the Lin family."
Long Yan's tense nerves relaxed a little. "General, you are very generous, but we must be on guard against the conspiracy behind this. Who brought him here, and why?"
Lin Ziyu looked at General Lin gratefully, "Thank you for your trust, General." Then he looked at Long Yan and said, "I can confirm that there is no conspiracy, because I come from a peaceful country thousands of years ago, when the Earth had not yet undergone any changes."
At that moment, a flash of light appeared, and a figure suddenly appeared before everyone. Upon closer inspection, it was the spatial spirit—Lin Xin! He flashed before Lin Ziyu and spoke, "Master, you are Lin Ziyu, the missing soul of General Lin's son. Alas... your souls should have been fused together to be complete."
