Tang Zhengtao said calmly.
He had just received a notice from his subordinates saying that they had found the culprit who killed Tang Weiqiang.
However, that person’s Lightness Skill is extrely formidable, and with only Tang Weizhong, it’s likely he couldn’t capture them.
That person didn’t ntion Lee ngqi, and given the urgency of the situation, the subordinate also didn’t notice Lee ngqi beside Lin Zheyu.
Therefore, Tang Zhengtao had no idea Lin Zheyu had any connection with the Lee Family.
"Heh, the two people you’re chasing: one is an esteed guest of my Lee Family, and the other is my niece Lee ngqi. Do you think it has anything to do with my Lee Family?"
Li Guoyao said coldly.
He took a step forward, suddenly exuding a powerful aura. His muscles bulged, appearing extrely intimidating.
"Lee ngqi?!"
Tang Zhengtao was stunned and stopped in his tracks.
He looked questioningly at the woman held by Lin Zheyu’s left hand, although she appeared sowhat disheveled.
But upon closer inspection, he could still recognize that familiar, beautiful face of the woman.
"It’s really Lee ngqi, this is troubleso."
Tang Zhengtao stopped his pursuit.
In front was the Lee Family’s stronghold. Continuing the chase and taking action there would certainly be a slap in the face to the Lee Family.
At that point, things wouldn’t end well.
Lin Zheyu, sensing Tang Zhengtao stopping behind him, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, his speed remained the sa, rushing towards Li Guoyao.
It wasn’t until he entered the Lee Family stronghold, standing beside Li Guoyao, that he finally felt at ease.
"I apologize for earlier. Given the urgency of the situation, I might have been sowhat disrespectful."
Lin Zheyu set Lee ngqi down, apologizing with a hint of regret.
"It’s alright."
"Mr. Yu should quickly take the Strengthening Elixir to minimize the side effects of using the Secret Technique."
"Using the Secret Technique severely damages one’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit, hindering the Martial Artist’s potential and affecting future developnt in the Martial Dao."
Lee ngqi tidied her clothes and spoke softly.
Lin Zheyu nodded and took a Strengthening Elixir from his pocket, then sat cross-legged to recover.
"Big brother, what do we do next?"
At this mont, Tang Weizhong also caught up, looking a bit haggard from using the Secret Technique just now.
"Have soone keep an eye on him. If he leaves the Lee Family, notify imdiately," Tang Zhengtao said calmly.
After speaking, he directly turned and left.
Their relationship with the Lee Family isn’t good, and even trying to negotiate with the Lee Family to hand him over is impossible.
With the Lee Family’s protection, they couldn’t make a move on him today.
"Hmph, let that kid live a few more days. I don’t believe he can hide in the Lee Family forever."
Tang Weizhong looked at Lin Zheyu from a distance with a dark expression, his mood foul.
Lin Zheyu adjusted his breathing. After the effect of the Blood Boiling Secret Skill passed, he slowly opened his eyes.
This ti, thanks to the Strengthening Elixir, he didn’t fall into a state of exhaustion, and his body wasn’t severely damaged.
He slowly stood up and smiled brightly at Tang Weizhong and the others from afar.
His mouth moved slightly, seemingly saying: Co and catch , trash!
"Damn it!"
"You brat, just wait. Offending the Tang Family doesn’t end well!"
Tang Weizhong’s eyes were full of anger, his voice carrying a frightening killing intent.
Lin Zheyu, seeing this, smiled even more joyfully.
Their relationship had already reached a point of no return. Provoking the other party and being a thorn in their side brought him considerable joy.
Anyone who was inexplicably targeted and attacked would naturally be upset.
Initially, he had nothing to do with the Tang Family.
But the Tang Family first coveted and hunted Xiaohei, and then that Martial Artist from the Tang Family followed him, intending harm.
Left with no choice, Lin Zheyu was forced to retaliate.
"Heh heh."
Lin Zheyu chuckled softly, ignoring them.
He approached Li Guoyao, respectfully saying, "Thank you, senior, for your assistance."
"Young man, you’re welco. If it weren’t for bringing ngqi back, you wouldn’t have been in such a perilous situation."
"ngqi’s life is saved by you; thus, our Lee Family owes you a favor."
Li Guoyao smiled warmly, appearing extrely amiable.
It was a complete contrast to his previous assertive deanor.
"Mr. Yu, please co inside."
"You’ve expended quite a lot. You can rest for a few days in the Lee Family stronghold. Once you’ve recovered, you can ascend Celestial Blade Peak with the Lee Family’s young ones."
"Rest assured, the Tang Family wouldn’t dare to make a move."
Lee ngqi said with a smile.
"Thank you."
Lin Zheyu expressed his gratitude.
Following Li Guoyao and Lee ngqi, he entered the Lee Family stronghold.
With the Tang Family eyeing him from outside, he couldn’t leave even if he wanted to.
Entering this portion of the Lee Family stronghold, the sight of rows of wooden houses greeted him.
The wooden houses looked new, likely recently constructed.
"Mr. Yu, please get acquainted with Yalan here, I have to excuse myself for now," said Lee ngqi.
"Alright."
Lin Zheyu nodded, following the maid nad Yalan to the front of one of the wooden houses.
"Mr. Yu, this is your residence. Please rest for a while."
Yalan said respectfully, "If you need anything, just let us know."
"No need, you may go. I’ll rest for a bit," Lin Zheyu said.
He pondered for a mont and called Yalan back: "If it’s convenient, can you prepare so restorative broth for ?"
"Yes, my lord, I’ll prepare it right away,"
Yalan curtsied slightly and spoke respectfully.
Upon entering the wooden house, he closed the door, sat cross-legged, and began practicing the Turtle Breath Skill to recover.
"So this elixir is called the Strengthening Elixir."
"The effect is indeed impressive. I wonder how many silver taels it would take to purchase such an elixir."
Lin Zheyu assessed his condition—though extrely weak, it was still manageable.
Unlike the previous situation after using the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, where he exhausted his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, unable to move.
"This ti was risky, but the outco was quite favorable."
"If I manage to forge a deep friendship with the Lee Family through this, I can gain access to high-level Cultivation Techniques and many pieces of information otherwise out of reach."
"Even if not, just obtaining that token for the secret auction is a significant gain for ."
Silently, Lin Zheyu contemplated.
He reviewed his experiences over the past few days in his mind.
Though he already exercised caution, restrictions in insight led to a misjudgnt on the duration of the residual tracking potion.
This was why such a dangerous situation occurred.
"Now it’s awkward. Given the information exposed, with the Lee Family’s influence, they’ll likely soon uncover my other identity."
"And they’ll discover I co from Bafang City, not the northern lands."
Lin Zheyu felt a bit awkward, not expecting his other identity to be exposed in this manner.
However, it wasn’t a major problem.
Both identities are just aliases; no matter how deeply the Lee Family investigates, they won’t uncover his real identity.
I’ll just adopt another alias if necessary in the future.
