35: Chapter 34 A true man when acting should have no taboos

35 -34 A true man when acting should have no taboos

“Rest assured, Baicao Hall and the Black Mountain Bandits, whatever the reason for their alliance, their goal is definitely not to fight the Lin Family to the death.”

“Therefore, although Little Jiu has been kidnapped, for the time being, as long as the other party hasn’t made any demands, or the Third Miss hasn’t explicitly refused them, she is still safe.”

Zhou Ping’an forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart and instead tried to comfort her, “Miss Xue, you stay and oversee the Lin Residence.

Now that even Lin Ziqi has been ambushed and seriously injured, the Lin Family is already panicking.

If you lose your composure as well, I’m afraid…”

“Ninth Miss she…”

“I will go save her.

I have my ways of knowing her whereabouts.”

A glint of cold light flickered in Zhou Ping’an’s eyes.

During his days in the Lin Family, although he had not been very social and had maintained a cautious manner, he had not inquired about the power relations among the various families in Qingyang City. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Most of the time, he was silently practicing Martial Arts, trying to accumulate enough energy to return to modern society.

But not taking initiative to socialize didn’t mean he was ignorant of certain matters.

He at least knew there was someone who was very familiar with the powers within the city as well as the geography outside of it.

Moreover, he was confident he could persuade that person to lead the way.

“Alright, I’m counting on you.”

Little Xiao Xue let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had found her backbone.

She quickly wiped the tears that had rushed to her face and hurriedly turned to leave.

She was off to calm the Guardian House Servants and ensure everyone carried out their duties.

This was not the time to panic.

“Also, pay extra attention to Lin Ziqi.

And the Herbal Garden, have someone guard it.”

Watching Xiao Xue turn to run, Zhou Ping’an felt a stirring in his heart and warned her.

It wasn’t that he was being overly suspicious.

After all, before a traitor exposes themselves, it’s unclear who might be problematic.

Even if Wei Dazui had mastered the Strength Refining Technique and become stronger,

Compared to Lin Ziqi, he was still significantly weaker…

This loudmouth managed to ambush Protectorate Leader Lin Ziqi and also kidnap Little Jiu Girl.

No matter how you looked at it, something wasn’t normal.

However, these things were mere suspicions and couldn’t be confirmed, so he could only advise Xiao Xue to be more cautious.

Even if every person in the Lin Residence were a spy, these two maids who were as close as sisters to Third Miss Lin Huaiyu definitely couldn’t be.

If the rare herbs in the Herbal Garden were preserved and the main base remained stable, even if the situation worsened, they would still have a stronghold to retreat to.

…

After they parted ways.

Zhou Ping’an, carrying the newly obtained long saber, headed to the west side of the back courtyard.

There, the trees rustled in the breeze, and the sporadic glow from the residence set ablaze by rockets could not reach this area, where only the faint scent of blood could be smelled on the wind.

Clearly, a battle had taken place here as well, and many had died.

Tang Lin’er was not as weak as he appeared, nor as deceitful as he imagined.

The enemies that invaded from this direction had all been killed by him.

“Come out, I need your help.”

Zhou Ping’an said softly.

From behind a ginkgo tree thick as an adult’s waist, a figure flickered, and Tang Lin’er emerged, his gaze solemn, “How did you know I was here?

And what makes you so sure that I will help you?”

“Who are we if not each other…”

“Stop.”

Tang Lin’er held up his palm, his expression slightly bitter.

Things like “Big Bull”, “Ergou”, and “Dependable Village”…

They both knew that those were nonsense made up on the spot.

Truthfully, aside from being in the same Battle Formation when the Red Lotus Army had been defeated, they didn’t really share any bond.

All that brotherly pretense from the past.

Meant nothing in reality.

“I can help you fend off the pursuit from the Red Lotus Sect, ensuring your escape from disaster.”

Zhou Ping’an didn’t beat around the bush and made a bold statement.

“Ha, haha, why would the Red Lotus Sect hunt me down?

As far as I can see, you’re in more danger than I am.”

Tang Lin’er chuckled nervously, his eyelids twitching.

But his mouth played it cool.

“Purifying Lotus Body…”

Zhou Ping’an smiled brimmingly, “Shall I go on?”

“How do you know this?”

Tang Lin’er could no longer maintain her composure, her face undergoing a drastic change, breathing turning rapid.

“It’s a long story.

That day, I happened to encounter an expert from the Red Lotus Guangning Branch in the city…

Let’s not dwell on that for now.

If you help me this time, you’re also helping yourself.

That deep hatred borne from a sea of blood might not be impossible to avenge.”

“You…”

Tang Lin’er felt as if she was standing raw and exposed in a world of ice and snow.

Every secret was seen through.

Even the most deeply hidden pain in her heart was completely transparent to her opponent.

“Who are you, exactly?”

Her voice was hoarse as she asked in a grave tone.

That day, seeing him appear bare within the battle formation, she found it somewhat amusing at the time.

But the battle was urgent, and there was no time to inquire further.

Yet, he seemed to know her affairs like the back of his hand.

If he was truly just a common Red Lotus Soldier, it simply wouldn’t add up.

“Me?

Aren’t I just Big Bull from Dependable Village…” Zhou Ping’an sighed.

Without giving a direct answer, he changed the subject, “After the deed is done, the Tidal Breathing Technique can be taught to you, don’t worry that I will deceive you with false promises.

Nevertheless, you can’t expect nothing in return.

I want the method of cultivating the Purifying Lotus Body now.”

“You even know the relationship between the Tidal Breathing Technique and Cloud Water Heavenly Sect…”

Tang Lin’er’s eyes became extremely complicated.

She felt the person before her was unfathomably deep, his depths unknowable.

However, she harbored no suspicion.

Nor did she distrust Zhou Ping’an’s promise.

Character is something one either has or does not have.

Zhou Ping’an had already proven through actions that he was a reliable person.

Having joined the Lin Family for merely seven days, he received the grace of imparted skills and went to all lengths, exerting his last breath…

For the Lin Family, he walked through fire and water, fought to the death time and again.

If one could not trust such a person,

In this vast world, who else could be trusted?

“The matter is not impossible, but as I know it, the Tidal Breathing Technique was privately passed on to Brother Zhou by Ninth Miss.

The Third Miss Lin simply turned a blind eye and did not pursue it.”

“If Brother Zhou practices on his own, no one would dare gossip, but if he passes it on to me, this matter…”

Tang Lin’er was not worried about anything else.

His concern was that the Lin Family’s core secret techniques might be passed on by Zhou Ping’an, potentially leading to endless troubles afterward.

It could mean turning against the Third Miss Lin.

Or being pursued for assassination by the Lin Family.

It might even provoke the disciples of the Cloud Water Heavenly Sect to purge their ranks.

After all, in the martial world, stealing a secret art and then passing it on is taboo for any sect or school.

“A man of virtue acts boldly without restrictions.

Why should one tiptoe in fear?” Zhou Ping’an coldly stated, his eyes filled with resolve…

“Moreover, if I cannot overcome this obstacle, I cannot rapidly grow stronger.

Can one ensure safety for a day or two, but for a lifetime?”

“Fortune and disaster are carried on one shoulder, righteousness is kept in the heart…

These trivial details, these bad habits of the martial world, need not be concerned with too much.”

“Well spoken, I will take this gamble with you.”

Tang Lin’er clapped his hands in agreement.

His eyes were full of admiration.

Right away, he recited the secrets and incantations of the Purifying Lotus Body, one by one.

And he personally demonstrated the Blood Circulating Technique.
