The other three n looked on, initially stunned, and then clenched their fists and charged at Lin Mo.
In Lin Mo's eyes, these people were no different from kindergarten children. Without even using True Qi, he relied rely on his strength to blast the three n away, sending all four sprawling to the ground, wailing and rolling in agony.
Lin Mo frowned.
The abilities of these four didn't even compare to a Martial Saint's. If soone wanted to target him, they wouldn't send such weaklings, not even fit to be cannon fodder.
Could it be that they were after Lin Shanshan or Xia ngdie?
At that thought, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.
Others could target him or even try to assassinate him, and he wouldn't get angry, but those daring to touch his loved ones crossed a line.
"What exactly are you four up to?" Lin Mo asked with an icy deanor.
The four n looked at each other in confusion. They were all Martial Cultivators, and struggling to understand how this delicate-looking youth could be so formidable.
"If you won't speak, I'll kill you right now," Lin Mo declared, about to gather his True Qi, when suddenly a black shadow flashed by, bringing a fierce wind in its wake.
A middle-aged man sporting a beard kicked towards Lin Mo. His leg was straight as an iron whip, sweeping across. As he did so, his foot subtly changed direction, the sharp tip of his shoe aiming for Lin Mo's temple—a deathblow.
Even if one didn't die on the spot, a hit could still render one an idiot.
A chill flashed in Lin Mo's eyes as he abruptly grasped the man's ankle. The attacker appeared shocked, not expecting Lin Mo to react so quickly.
As the man tried to alter his attack and retract his leg, he suddenly felt an imnse force rendering him immobile.
Lin Mo's hands were like iron tongs grasping his foot, then with a twist, the man's pants tore to shreds, and his bones broke piece by piece, warping like twisted dough.
An intense pain delayed by a second coursed through the man's central nervous system before he let out a muffled scream of agony and fell to the ground.
The other n, witnessing their strongest peer defeated by a youth with a twist of his thigh, were utterly astonished.
A chill descended upon them all in an instant, especially when they saw Lin Mo's eyes, a coldness that swept through their entire bodies.
That indifferent gaze, regarding human life as re grass.
Only a Devil who had taken countless lives possessed such icy eyes.
"Since you are unwilling to talk, then I'll just kill you," Lin Mo spoke, when suddenly a voice ca from the side.
"Young man, wait a mont."
Lin Mo glanced over and saw an old man in a black robe walking forward, recognizing imdiately that he was an Advanced Martial Saint.
"Who are you?" Lin Mo concealed his aura, presenting himself as a Martial Saint.
The elder looked Lin Mo up and down, a hint of shock flashing through his eyes, astonished to find that such a young man was a Martial Saint.
"Young man, these people are with , we ant no harm," the elder spoke.
"No harm? Then why have you been following ?" Lin Mo asked with a cold chuckle.
The elderly man shook his head and said, "Young man, we're not following you but are here for the young lady by your side. She is our young miss; we're rely protecting her."
Lin Mo hesitated for a mont, then gave the elderly man a cold glance, "If you dare follow us again, there will be no rcy."
Having said that, Lin Mo turned and left.
After Lin Mo had gone, the elderly man frowned, a trace of gravity showing on his face.
"Mr. Huang, my leg is ruined... Why didn't you capture that kid just now?" The middle-aged man with the broken leg lay on the ground, his forehead covered with cold sweat as he spoke in agony.
Mr. Huang said in a deep voice, "Though I could have beaten him, considering his young age and the strength he already possesses, it's likely he has so expert behind him. It's better not to offend him; we'll discuss the young miss's matter later."
"Brother Mo, why have you been gone for so long? Shanshan and Sister ngdie have already released the river lanterns," Lin Shanshan said with a smile upon seeing Lin Mo's return.
"Releasing river lanterns is supposed to co with a wish, what did you wish for?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.
"Why are you acting like a curious baby? If I tell, it won't co true," Xia ngdie said softly with a teasing expression.
Lin Shanshan nodded in agreent, "Yes, Sister ngdie is right, we can't say it out loud, otherwise, it won't co true."
"Alright then," Lin Mo said, resigned.
He didn't plan on telling Shanshan about what had happened earlier. This was a matter he would need to discuss with his aunt. He had heard rumors back at the Lin Family, about people claiming Lin i got pregnant before marriage and was then abandoned, giving birth to Shanshan. Could it be that Shanshan's biological father had co back?
It was because of this consideration that Lin Mo had not struck rcilessly. Otherwise, with his temperant, anyone who dared covet his loved ones would have been imdiately cut down.
They strolled until nine or ten o'clock in the evening before Lin Mo took Lin Shanshan and Xia ngdie ho, though he asked Xia ngdie to return to her mother's place halfway through.
Xia ngdie, being very astute, understood that Lin Mo must have sothing on his mind and did not ask further. Then, Lin Mo and Lin Shanshan went back ho together.
When they got ho, Lin Shanshan was holding bags of all sizes, her face beaming with happiness.
"Mom, I'm back."
"Auntie."
Lin i, dressed in casual ho clothes, was watching TV alone on the couch, where the evening news was playing.
"Shanshan is back, and your Brother Mo has bought you so many things again," Lin i chuckled and teased.
"Brother Mo treats well, that's why he got them for ," Lin Shanshan pouted and said, "I'm going upstairs to change."
After saying that, she ran upstairs, thumping up the stairs. Lin i's face showed a look of indulgent yet helpless amusent.
Lin Mo, however, had a serious expression as he watched Lin i and said in a low voice, "Auntie, soone was following Shanshan today, it seems..."
Lin i's face paled, her fists clenched in anger, "How dare these people follow Shanshan."
"With around, Shanshan will be fine, but can you tell what exactly is going on?" Lin Mo asked as he sat down on the couch, looking at Lin i.
"I knew I couldn't keep it hidden for long; this secret has been buried in my heart for eighteen years," Lin i suddenly sighed, glancing up the stairs to make sure Lin Shanshan had returned to her room before saying to Lin Mo, "Xiao Mo, you're not an ordinary person. Your auntie trusts you a lot; I haven't even told your father this secret."
