Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

Inside the main hall of the Lin residence.

The lights flickered, casting swaying shadows.

Lin Wan'er looked worried, her slender, fair fingers gently tapping the rim of the porcelain cup. Her beautiful eyes would occasionally lift up, her gaze falling on the dark courtyard outside.

Before long, Aunt Liu walked in slowly, leaning on a thick cane the size of a human head.

With each step, the cane landed on the bluestone pavement with a dull thud, as if reflecting the heartbeats of the two people.

"Miss, it's late, why aren't you resting? You're injured, don't overwork yourself."

Aunt Liu walked to Lin Wan'er's side, picked up a fur cloak from the chair beside her, and carefully draped it over her shoulders.

"Aunt Liu, I've been feeling restless and unable to sleep well these past few days. What do you think about us...?"

Lin Wan'er didn't move, but slightly moved her eyes to look at Aunt Liu and asked softly.

"If Chen Shisheng is ambushed and killed by the people who float on water, and the Wen family finds out, will our Lin family be held responsible? I heard from my subordinates that he is Miss Wen's man and is highly regarded."

Lin Wan'er said worriedly.

"Miss, that Mr. Chen's appointment to our position was a mutual agreement, it was all done through a signed contract and the event was organized through the amusement park. Even if something happens, it won't be our responsibility."

"Besides, casualties among military officers on temporary assignments are common. If someone else dies, and this man surnamed Chen gets into trouble, the Wen family can't say anything."

Aunt Liu chuckled softly.

"But if this succeeds, even if that Chen guy finds out, we can just compensate him with some exotic beast meat to get rid of him. Once the connection is established, our Lin family's fleet will be the gold standard of Wuhe City."

"The freight business will be booming from now on, and the young master will have no shortage of resources for martial arts training."

Aunt Liu continued.

"Besides..."

She slowly sat down, her wrinkled old hands lightly rubbing her cane, and sneered:

"That guy surnamed Chen is just a Bone Forging Martial Artist who has only recently broken through, so he doesn't get much attention from the higher-ups. I've already asked around, and he doesn't have many friends in the Wen family compound, so he doesn't have many connections with other people there."

"His breakthrough also happened during his period of external release. He probably got some rare treasure fish; it was just good luck. His potential is limited."

She didn't believe that a martial artist who had been transferred to a remote area could break through the Bone Forging stage so quickly in such a short time.

If this person truly possessed such talent, the Wen family would not have sent such a genius to a remote area like Pingyang Town when they were sent out to other places.

The only possibility is that this person was lucky enough to obtain a rare treasure fish and thus broke through to the next level.

Some precious fish are extremely valuable, containing extraordinary energy and blood, which can have miraculous effects on breaking through barriers or exchanging blood. This is not surprising.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, like two slender willow branches bending.

She paused for a moment, then slowly said:

"In that case, if he returns safely afterward, we should give him more exotic beast meat to make up for it."

She was tacitly approving of Aunt Liu's line of thinking.

"It's good that you understand, Miss."

Aunt Liu said with relief.

She understood perfectly well how important a waterway leading smoothly to other counties was to the Lin family now.

Therefore, it was entirely worthwhile to send a minor martial artist to test the waters on this exploratory trip.

If this person is truly blessed with good fortune and a long life, he may return unharmed.

After that, we can always ask the young lady to take the initiative a little, show her some care, and then have some intercourse to leave behind some good offspring. That's not impossible.

Those martial artists practiced martial arts all day long, and the courtyard was full of burly, strong women.

After revealing a little of their skills, those martial artists who had never seen a woman before all took the bait automatically.

Just like Liu Ming, the most talented person in the Wen family compound, he still got into the garden party and is now infatuated with the gentle charms of the young ladies in the inner city, unable to extricate himself.

on the roof.

Chen Shisheng lay on the gray tiles, quietly listening to everything below.

He originally intended to see if there was an opportunity to ambush Aunt Liu and teach the Lin family a lesson.

Unexpectedly, he overheard these two plotting against him, even planning how to appease him afterwards.

He had previously ordered Xiaoshan and the others to stay on the boat and not to move.

So the Lin family has no idea that he has returned.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me!"

The night was deep and dark, like thick ink, impossible to dissolve.

With the help of her maids, Lin Wan'er returned to her bedroom.

It was hot, so she took off her outer clothes, leaving only a small top, revealing her fair, slender arms and smooth shoulders.

Chen Shisheng quietly withdrew his gaze. Through the dim light from outside, he could even faintly see the lotus and swan pattern on Lin Wan'er's bellyband.

It was confirmed that this woman truly had nothing to hide and was an ordinary person who had never learned martial arts.

Chen Shisheng was relieved and walked towards the house on the other side.

After all, the Lin family in the inner city had been quite powerful before, so it's hard to guarantee that they wouldn't be hiding something.

If the Lin family has a special secret method to conceal their vital energy, this woman is a martial artist who is extremely well hidden.

In a one-on-two fight, he might not be a match for this woman and that old woman.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Chen Shisheng took a step and moved swiftly along the wall.

Under the suppression of his destiny, his blood and qi fluctuations were perfectly suppressed, without revealing a trace.

That location is exactly where Aunt Liu lives!

He planned to take down Aunt Liu, a Bone Forging Martial Artist, first, and then deal with the rest of the Lin family.

In this way, we won't be surrounded and attacked.

Just as he was leaving Lin Wan'er's room, Lin Wan'er suddenly opened her eyes and looked out the window.

That location was exactly where Chen Shisheng had just been!

She slowly sat up and sighed.

"So you came back after all...."

She got out of bed and slowly put on her clothes.

At this moment, her aura was completely different from her previous weak and delicate image.

Her arms emanated a faint fluctuation of blood and energy, and the muscles in her arms bulged slightly, making her seem like a completely different person.

She was actually a Bone Forging Martial Artist!

"Aunt Liu."

She called out softly.

From the shadows and darkness of the corner, a hunched figure suddenly emerged, his face ashen.

"Miss, I didn't think this through."

Aunt Liu said with considerable guilt.

It was so close, so very close, that the young lady was put in danger.

Fortunately, because of the master's death, countless enemies came to take revenge in the middle of the night.

For the sake of home security, she and her mistress had their rooms connected, deliberately creating the illusion that their rooms were separate.

In fact, she had always slept in the young lady's room.

Another house remained empty, filled with numerous traps and mechanisms, waiting for enemies to come knocking.

If anyone makes a move, she and her mistress can react immediately and join forces to kill the invading enemy.

"It's alright. Consider this a lesson learned. One should never underestimate any martial artist, even those in the outer realms; they must have a method to conceal their qi and blood!"

Lin Wan'er's face was as cold as frost as she spoke in a chilling voice.

His face was completely different from before, as if he were a different person.

"Aunt Liu, you go and direct the rest of the men. Tell the archers in the manor to get ready in case this person escapes. I'll hold him off for now, and then we'll join forces and kill him!"

"Yes, Miss!"

Aunt Liu responded sternly.

After the two left the room, Chen Shisheng slowly revealed a look of surprise and disbelief from the dark corner on the other side of the room.

It was Chen Shisheng, who had left long ago.

He had only taken a few steps when he thought of an even better solution.

He could have taken Lin Wan'er hostage and then attacked Aunt Liu. That way, at least if he were surrounded and killed, he would still have a hostage.

So he sneaked into Lin Wan'er's room from the other side, intending to tie her up.

Unexpectedly, we actually discovered this woman's hidden strength!
