Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

"Lin Wan'er is also a Bone Forging Martial Artist?!"

Chen Shisheng was shocked and horrified.

He wasn't shocked by Lin Wan'er's identity as a Bone Forging Martial Artist, but rather by Lin Wan'er's hidden methods!

He had seen Lin Wan'er more than once, and in his eyes, there was clearly no fluctuation of qi or blood on this woman.

This technique of concealing one's vital energy is almost comparable to his "Lizard Shadow Poison Body" destiny.

If someone suddenly attacks someone who is completely unprepared, it is extremely difficult to defend against and they can easily succeed.

"wrong."

Chen Shisheng suddenly thought of something.

He overlooked the way he met Lin Wan'er: the garden party!

That's where the young ladies of wealthy families seek out seeds.

If a young lady from a wealthy family doesn't have a certain level of physical fitness, how could she withstand the physical strength of a martial artist?

If you think about it this way, then it makes sense.

The Lin family had been hiding their true abilities all along, never revealing Lin Wan'er's identity as a martial artist.

The point is to make outsiders think that Lin Wan'er is just an ordinary person.

And they did indeed do that.

Chen Shisheng had investigated the Lin family's background, but the intelligence did not mention Lin Wan'er's strength at all.

The only openly recognized bone-forging martial artist is Aunt Liu.

The sudden appearance of a Bone Forging Martial Artist was undoubtedly a huge trap for those who had secretly infiltrated the Lin family to carry out their plans.

"As expected of a prominent family in the inner city, these people should not be underestimated."

Chen Shisheng silently murmured to himself.

Sure enough, none of the wealthy families who managed to settle down in the inner city were simple characters.

This also explains why Chen Shisheng was puzzled before as to why there were no notorious bandits in the inner city as described in novels and storybooks.

He guessed that there might have been such a thing before, but later they were all ruined by this group of people.

Chen Shisheng had no intention of fighting two people at once; he wasn't foolish enough to engage in a life-or-death struggle on someone else's own turf.

The Lin family did indeed wrong him, but now is not a good time for revenge, so he naturally wouldn't rashly seek death.

Without making any rash moves, Chen Shisheng continued to conceal his qi and blood fluctuations, slowly heading towards the courtyard behind him.

Leaving the house, he tiptoed over the wall and, taking advantage of the Lin family's attention being focused on the house next door, he left the Lin family's home without incident.

I jumped into the street. It was quiet outside, except for the occasional bark of a dog coming from a wealthy house.

.....

Lin House.

The torches, like cannon fire, illuminated the entire mansion.

Teams of men, armed with broadswords and poison sacs, and accompanied by hunting dogs, were searching every corner of the mansion.

These poison sacs were exclusive to some wealthy families in the inner city. They were extremely expensive to make, but their power was also immense.

It is made by burning century-old withered vines from Yinshan Mountain mixed with kerosene, then blacksmiths drive in sharp iron nails, and finally soaking it in various poisonous waters and powders.

When used, a strong martial artist throws the net outwards, trapping the person, with iron nails covering the body and barbs piercing the flesh.

If someone who hasn't practiced hard external martial arts is caught off guard by this set of techniques, they'll be entangled and eventually die from the poison.

It can be said to be the most popular and powerful defensive weapon among the wealthy families in the inner city.

"Miss, she's run away."

Aunt Liu looked grim and pointed to the footprints on the wall.

"Have the people who went to the docks returned?"

Lin Wan'er sensed something was amiss, and her voice turned cold.

"Miss...Miss...the cargo ships at the docks...the cargo ships at the docks have returned!!"

At this moment, the servant who had been sent out rushed over in a panic, his face full of grief.

"Miss, what should we do now?!"

Aunt Liu was terrified.

The Lin family had guaranteed that shipment; if anything went wrong, they would have to pay the other party ten times the amount in full, according to the contract.

ten times?!

Even if the Lin family is large and powerful, losing so much money at once would drain most of their savings and cause them serious damage.

"Aunt Liu, stay at the manor and do not leave. Protect Yuan'er. I'll take some men to the dock to check the situation and see if there's any room for negotiation..."

Lin Wan'er said with a worried expression.

She knew that she had seriously offended Chen Shisheng this time.

Offending a powerful Bone Forging martial artist, especially one who might possess a hidden blood and qi cultivation technique, would be extremely risky.

This means that the Lin family will never have peace again!

There is a possibility of retaliation at any time.

But at this point, she had no choice but to split her forces into two groups. She couldn't afford to offend Chen Shisheng, but she also couldn't afford to offend the Wang family.

If the goods are indeed lost, the Wang family will certainly demand compensation from them, but that's secondary.

But the reputation of Lin Family Freight will be ruined in the future, and that is the most important thing.

Especially now, in these turbulent times, no one wants to entrust their goods to a risky shipping company; that would be tantamount to suicide.

"Aunt Liu, at the same time, spread the word to Li Huan and the Wen family that our Lin family is willing to reconcile with Chen Shisheng and compensate him for his losses."

Lin Wan'er realized the seriousness of the problem and added.

It was appropriate for her to have Li Huan act as an intermediary to negotiate.

After all, the relationship between the two sides was established through the garden party.

"Miss, you want to keep this person calm by sending information... and then we'll take action to capture him!"

Aunt Liu's eyes flickered, and she immediately replied.

"No! We...we really reconcile with him."

Lin Wan'er sighed.

She knew that Chen Shisheng must be angry at this moment, but when it comes to business, it's best to give him some compensation to calm him down.

If this really blows up, it won't be good for the Lin family.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Lin family is doing alright now. If they show any weakness or vulnerability, the surrounding pack of wolves and tigers will pounce on them and devour them whole.

In this world, strength ultimately prevails.

The law of the jungle prevails; it's nothing more than that.

......

Back home, Chen Shisheng first sent his sister-in-law to hide at Wen Fengling's place to prevent the Lin family from taking any desperate measures.

The literary style is exquisite.

At this moment, she was wearing a light green strapless flowing dress, revealing her two fair arms, and was diligently handling the tasks brought to her by her subordinates.

"Young Miss".

Chen Shisheng jumped over the wall, his figure flashed, and he rushed in through the window, arriving in front of Wen Fengling.

He made no attempt to conceal his speed and agility, creating a gust of wind that caused the candlelight to flicker and sway.

The sudden sound startled Wen Fengling, her chest heaving violently, and she almost cried out for help.

Her beautiful eyes looked at Chen Shisheng ahead, and she stood up to greet him. She wasn't averse to this nighttime raid, and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Oh, it's Brother Chen. What brings you here in the middle of the night?"

"I have some personal matters to attend to, and I'd like my sister-in-law to stay at your place for the night. Would that be convenient?"

Chen Shisheng asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, Brother Chen, please handle it as you see fit. I will take good care of your sister-in-law and make sure nothing happens to her."

Wen Lingfeng readily agreed, then asked...

She had a vague feeling that she had become someone else's orphan.

"Brother Chen, has it happened that you've encountered an enemy? If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask!"

"It's just a small matter, no need to trouble you, Miss."

Chen Shisheng shook his head.

When it comes to revenge, you have to do it yourself.

Moreover, the three main families have a very good personal relationship with the powerful families in the inner city, and they belong to the same camp with a common hatred for the enemy.

If the Wen family is really dragged into this, it might attract the intervention of other forces, which would be even more problematic.

"good!"

Wen Fengling didn't ask any more questions and immediately sent someone to pick up Liu Yun.

Chen Shisheng thanked him, turned around, and leaped out of the window, disappearing into the vast night.

"Miss, why are you helping him? This is his private matter. Aren't you afraid the master will blame us for interfering?"

Beside her, Jiang Yue'er stepped out from behind the pink curtains of Wen Fengling, looking puzzled.

"Moon, Brother Chen is a man of great perseverance and a resilient character. He is bound to achieve great things in the future! Besides, I haven't helped him much; I've only been looking after my sister-in-law."

Wen Fengling gazed at Chen Shisheng's departing figure, her eyes filled with longing.
