Chapter 189 The Mad Monk, the Power of One Punch

The Lin family has moved.

Upon receiving the imperial decree, Lin Ruhai took his entire family to Yangzhou to assume his new post.

This time it was a promotion, but in reality it was a death sentence.

The whole family might be doomed.

Lin Ruhai himself was aware of the danger of this trip, so he was preoccupied with worries.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

In the car, Jia Min, being observant, noticed that her husband had been preoccupied these past few days.

Lin Ruhai sighed: "This trip is fraught with danger, and I'm afraid it will bring utter destruction to the Lin family."

Knowing is one thing, but what can you do about it?

Could it be that disobeying the imperial decree would result in the extermination of nine generations of one's family?

"The Salt Commissioner wants your help to make money."

Jia Min said with a worried expression.

She was quick to understand and became increasingly uneasy.

"How about I take my children and go stay at my mother's house temporarily?"

She made a suggestion.

Lin Ruhai was tempted, but it would likely be dangerous for his wife and children to go with him.

But there's no reason to send your wife and children to be raised by your mother-in-law.

As a scholar-official, he naturally couldn't bring himself to lose face.

"Let's take a look first."

Lin Ruhai neither refused nor agreed.

I'll just wait and see; if it doesn't work out, I'll agree to my wife's suggestion.

"You must keep a close eye on Ziyu and Daiyu."

He had to give his wife a piece of advice.

"I got it."

Jia Min nodded slightly and said with concern, "Master, you must take care of yourself and not think too much. As long as you are here, the Lin family will not fall apart."

The two chatted here.

Lin Daiyu and Lin Ziyu rode in another car.

"Sister, is Yangzhou fun?"

Lin Ziyu was filled with curiosity and anticipation for the trip.

Lin Daiyu, however, knew very well that this trip would bring great crisis to the Lin family.

But it's okay, she'll take care of it.

The group left Suzhou.

Walking on the official road, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of us.

The Lin family was terrified.

"Sir, someone is blocking the way."

The housekeeper nervously offered a reminder.

Lin Ruhai's heart sank. Could it be that someone didn't want him to arrive in Yangzhou safely?

That is indeed possible.

He immediately lifted the carriage curtain and stepped out, standing in the carriage and looking at the group of people blocking his way.

"Who are you people, daring to obstruct officials appointed by the imperial court?"

Lin Ruhai shouted with a calm and composed demeanor.

A man who appeared to be the leader walked up from ahead.

He bowed respectfully and said loudly, "Lord Lin, we are outlaws from the Yangzhou area. We heard that you are going to Yangzhou to take up your post, so we came to follow you."

"Please, sir, take me in!"

A group of three or four hundred strong men, each holding a weapon, saluted in unison.

Lin Ruhai was taken aback by what he heard and looked at them with some surprise.

They're not here to ambush us, but to seek refuge?

Looking at this group of strong men, Lin Ruhai couldn't believe it, but considering the many dangers he was facing on this trip, having a group of strong servants was a good thing for him.

"How can I trust you?"

This is something he has to think about.

The leading man spoke again: "My lord, I am Su Yi. I cannot convince you, but I can prove it to you."

"Oh, how do you prove it?"

Lin Ruhai seemed to be deep in thought.

Su waved his hand, and a person was seen being pressed down from behind the crowd.

“My lord, this man is the son of the prefect of Yangzhou. He is a wicked man who bullies men and women. Bringing him here is to give Lord Lin a pledge of allegiance.”

Su Yi pointed at the man and said.

"Waaah—Let me go! I am the son of the Prefect of Yangzhou! How dare you touch me?"

The young nobleman struggled angrily, shouting and yelling.

Lin Ruhai was shocked. Upon closer inspection, he recognized that it was indeed the son of the Yangzhou prefect.

Because he had seen it before.

"Is he really the son of the prefect of Yangzhou?"

He was shocked and finally believed what these people were saying.

"Does the master believe it now?"

Su Yi asked.

Lin Ruhai nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I believe you. You can release him..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yi drew his sword and beheaded the young nobleman.

A head rolled off, its eyes wide open in anger, dying with its head still open.

Lin Ruhai was stunned, completely bewildered as he stared at the dead son of the Yangzhou prefect.

No, I was just about to tell you to release him first.

Why was it cut down so suddenly?

He swallowed his words and looked at the group of people in front of him with a complicated expression.

I believed it, but these people seemed too bloodthirsty.

"You may follow me."

In the end, Lin Ruhai accepted this group of people with a wry smile.

They've already brought the son of the Yangzhou prefect here and are going to kill him right in front of him. How can he possibly refuse?

It would be truly unjust if the other party were to get angry and kill him as well.

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist.

Lin Ruhai readily accepted the offer and took in this group of fierce and burly men.

Inside the other car, Lin Daiyu smiled slightly.

These people are actually robots.

She deliberately summoned him so that he would follow Lin Ruhai and seek refuge with him.

The purpose was to protect the Lin family and Lin Ruhai and his wife.

Otherwise, for a pedantic scholar like Lin Ruhai to go to his post alone would be nothing short of courting death.

"Sigh, I still have to arrange everything every day."

Lin Daiyu sighed softly.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Lin Daiyu glanced thoughtfully at the woods.

He then looked away.

At this point, the group continued moving forward.

With the addition of three hundred strong men, Lin Ruhai suddenly felt much more confident.

Whatever these people want to do, one thing is clear: they are definitely not our enemies on this trip.

After all, what enemy would bring the wicked son of the Yangzhou prefect to kill in front of him?

After the group had walked away.

In the woods, a monk appeared on the road.

He stared at the pool of blood on the ground, having witnessed the entire scene clearly.

"That's weird, that's weird!"

The monk looked puzzled and asked, "Why isn't Lin Ruhai's son dead? He's perfectly fine. Something's not right."

"Logically speaking, his son should have died, and his wife should have died soon after as well."

The monk muttered to himself, constantly calculating something.

Then his expression changed slightly: "I can't predict that, it's impossible. Lin Ruhai's fate was already predetermined, it can only pave the way for Fairy Jiangzhu's future fate."

Just as the monk was filled with surprise and doubt.

"Great monk, what are you looking at?"

A crisp voice came from behind.

The mad monk's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly turned around to look.

His pupils contracted, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

"When?"

He looked at the exquisitely beautiful young girl in front of him with surprise and doubt; it was none other than Lin Daiyu.

"The Crimson Pearl Fairy—"

"Wait, when did you appear?"

The mad monk stared in horror at Lin Daiyu, who had inexplicably appeared behind him.

Lin Daiyu was also sizing up the monk in front of her.

He was the mad monk who appeared when Lin Daiyu was three years old, intending to convert her to become a nun.

"So you're the one plotting against me?"

Lin Daiyu gave a cold laugh.

Holding a handkerchief in her hand, she said coldly, "Monk, you'd better confess your scheme, or I'll tell you what I'm really good at."

"Hmph, this old monk will not entertain you."

Sensing something was wrong, the mad monk uttered a single sentence and tried to run away.

"If you want to leave, you might as well be buried here."

After Lin Daiyu finished speaking, she flashed and threw a light punch at the mad monk.

"Danger!"

The mad monk's face changed drastically, and he turned around in horror.

Lin Daiyu threw a delicate punch.

Boom~~

A punch came, and a fierce wind raged, sending sand and stones flying.

A powerful gust of wind pierced through the entire forest, carving out a huge ravine.

"open!"

The mad monk clasped his hands together, roused the power within his body to fight back, and a faint golden light shone around his body.

Lin Daiyu's punch from ten meters away made his body tremble violently, and the layer of golden light shattered with crackling sounds. Immediately afterward, a gust of wind from the punch hit his face.

"Ah...no!!!"

The mad monk let out a series of screams.

The body's flesh and blood turned to dust, leaving only a skeleton standing there, before it exploded into dust and scattered into the air with a bang.

Boom~!

A distant mountain peak was blasted flat from the middle.

The power of one punch is so terrifying!

"Hu~~"

Lin Daiyu blew a breath onto her small fist, and wisps of smoke rose from it.

She gently wiped her face with a handkerchief: "You stinking monk, how dare you scheme against me! If you don't die, who will?"

After saying that, she disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared on the vehicle frame, his younger brother, Lin Ziyu, was still studying military strategy books.

"Sister, did you feel a vibration just now?"

Lin Ziyu looked up at her sister, somewhat puzzled.

"It's alright, just focus on your studies."

Lin Daiyu patted Lin Ziyu, who was reading a military book, and said.

"Uh-huh!!"

Lin Ziyu nodded immediately and then continued to read obediently.
