The 4th book by Wind Through the Forest

Just then, a taxi approached from afar and stopped at the park entrance.

Who else could it be but Zhao Dazhu who got out of the car?

Upon seeing Zhao Dazhu, Cai Yaxu immediately rushed over as if she had seen a savior, grabbing her bag and hugging Zhao Dazhu's arm.

"What's going on?" Zhao Dazhu asked, completely bewildered.

"Uncle Zhao, this guy's name is Lin Long. He's been bothering me like a leech, and I'm about to get sick of him."

"Besides, I met him in Da'an City. I thought I could shake him off once I got back to Taohua County, but I never expected him to chase me all the way from Da'an City to here. And he even tried to attack me just now..."

Cai Yaxu spoke quickly, a look of fear on her face.

Zhao Dazhu felt both amused and annoyed.

I never imagined that the woman I had my eye on would become another man's prey. What a coincidence!

"Your name is Lin Long, right? Cai Yaxu is not someone you can touch. You'd better keep your distance from her." Zhao Dazhu stood protectively in front of Cai Yaxu and said to Lin Long without any politeness.

Lin Long frowned and looked Zhao Dazhu up and down, a ruthless look appearing on his face.

"Old man, I advise you to get out of here, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Lin Long said coldly, his hands clenched into fists.

"Then come on, I want to see how you can be rude to me!" Zhao Dazhu said with a sneer.

"You asked for this, don't push me!"

As soon as Lin Long finished speaking, he pounced on Zhao Dazhu like a tiger descending a mountain in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Long punched Zhao Dazhu in the face. His fist made a sharp whistling sound as it rubbed against the air.

In almost an instant, Lin Long's fist was already in front of Zhao Dazhu, less than two centimeters away from Zhao Dazhu's nose.

But Zhao Dazhu immediately raised his right hand with lightning speed and blocked Lin Long's fist with a snap.

In an instant, a wave of air emanated from the two people's hands and spread out in all directions, blowing the surrounding dust and fallen leaves into the air.

This scene is just like two martial arts masters competing in internal energy in a martial arts movie!

Lin Long's expression changed drastically.

A look of surprise appeared on Zhao Dazhu's face.

Because Zhao Dazhu discovered that this mysterious man named Lin Long was actually emitting true qi fluctuations from his body!

The meaning of this is self-evident: Lin Long is definitely a cultivator!

Moreover, he is not a novice cultivator who has just become a cultivator; he has at least reached the second stage of Qi Refining!

In other words, Lin Long and Zhao Dazhu are at the same level.

Because Zhao Dazhu is now also at the second stage of Qi Refining!

However, there is still a slight difference in their cultivation levels; Lin Long's true qi is slightly weaker than Zhao Dazhu's.

If we had to put it in perspective, Lin Long is currently roughly at the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm, while Zhao Dazhu has already reached the bottleneck of the Qi Refining Realm!

"You actually..."

"I really didn't expect this..."

Lin Long and Zhao Dazhu both took a step back to create some distance, and then they began to murmur to themselves.

Lin Long then snorted coldly and said, "It seems I've truly met my match today. But old man, don't be too happy yet. Although you're stronger than me, the difference is only slight. If we really start fighting, the outcome is still uncertain!"

"Furthermore, I have some special methods. If I use those methods, you will definitely be no match for me."

Although Lin Long was a cultivator, Zhao Dazhu was not afraid.

No man can accept his woman being taken away by another man. For a man, having his woman stolen is the greatest humiliation!

Even if Zhao Dazhu has a good temper, he would never allow such a thing to happen!

"What's the use of saying all that tough talk? If you want to fight, then come at me. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Zhao Dazhu said coldly.

But Lin Long did not make another move.

Looking around, Lin Long noticed that quite a few passersby were curiously watching them from afar, so he said, "Just you wait and see!"

After uttering these harsh words, Lin Long turned and left without looking back.

Cai Yaxu finally breathed a sigh of relief only after Lin Long had walked far away and disappeared into the crowd.

Zhao Dazhu gradually relaxed, and the continuous flow of true energy within his body gradually stopped circulating.

"That Lin Long is really something else. How did you two meet? What's your relationship?" Zhao Dazhu frowned, turned around, and questioned Cai Yaxu.

Cai Yaxu hurriedly said, "Before, we were just ordinary friends. Uncle Zhao, please don't misunderstand. And as you can see now, I'm very afraid of him. Now we're not even friends anymore."

"Well... never mind, this isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere to eat first, and then go to the hotel," Zhao Dazhu said.

"Um!"

Cai Yaxu's cheeks flushed slightly, but after only a moment's hesitation, she took Zhao Dazhu's arm and followed him toward a high-end restaurant in the distance.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Zhao Dazhu booked a private room, where he and Cai Yaxu ate and chatted.

Cai Yaxu went to Da'an City on a business trip for two months, and it was in Da'an City that she met Lin Long.

"I was under a lot of work pressure at the time, so after get off work I went out to eat barbecue and drink a bottle of beer on a food street in Da'an City."

"I was eating when Lin Long suddenly appeared. He first asked if I was alone, and I said yes. Then he sat down at my table and asked if he could eat with me."

"Of course I was unwilling, after all, this way of striking up a conversation was too presumptuous, but he said he would treat me after we finished eating, so I thought I might as well take advantage of the situation and we ate barbecue together."

"I got to know Lin Long after that. He contacted me frequently and even came to my workplace to look for me..."

"At first, I thought he was a pretty good person, and he was quite humorous, but then one time..."

Cai Yaxu stopped there, a hint of lingering fear on her face.

"What happened next?"

Zhao Dazhu asked while gnawing on a chicken leg.

Cai Yaxu hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Later, one time, after I got off work, I was on my way back to my temporary residence in Da'an City when I ran into him just as I left my workplace. He invited me to dinner, and I accepted without thinking much about it."

"But we were walking down the street together, talking and having a good time, when suddenly his expression changed drastically, and he said he wasn't feeling well and had to leave for a bit."

"I asked him if he wanted to go to the hospital, but he ran into the nearest alley without looking back."
