Chapter 41: It's Time to Deal with Wei Yun! Jiang Linlin Noticed!
"If I find out who hacked the account, I will kill him!"
In a shadowy corner of a cheap internet cafe, Wei Yun smashed his fist onto the sticky keyboard. The keys rattled, and the monitor flickered. His face was a mask of fury, illuminated by the harsh blue light of the screen.
Guardian Lin's account—the symbol of his silent devotion, the conduit for his love and support for Jiang Linlin—had been hacked.
His expression turned ugly, a mixture of rage and violation. As the top assassin king in the dark world, anyone who dared to touch his things, let alone hack his account, truly didn't want to live!
Sons of Destiny are creatures who only benefit others, never themselves, especially a decisive existence like Wei Yun! He already had murderous intent! He wanted to find the culprit and skin them alive.
But now, time was of the essence.
Finally, Wei Yun took a deep breath, forcing himself to swallow his anger. He grabbed his coat and ran towards Modu University. He needed to talk to Jiang Linlin in person. A digital message could be faked, but his sincerity, his voice, his eyes—those were real.
"Linlin, wait for me," he muttered, his voice hoarse. "I will expose Shen Anyu's true colors… I will save you."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, just as Wei Yun was taking the small, secluded path behind the Modu University female dormitory—a shortcut he knew from his days of watching her—powerful auras erupted around him with a roar.
The air pressure dropped instantly. Shadows moved where there shouldn't be shadows.
"Wei Yun, we've been waiting for you!"
A chilling voice cut through the silence. A middle-aged woman in white battle attire stepped out from behind a tree. She smiled coldly, and the long sword in her hand, gleaming with cold light, slashed towards Wei Yun without hesitation.
Her sword energy was sharp, cutting the air with a whistle.
The other dozen or so Innate experts also attacked, emerging from the bushes and the shadows of the dormitory building. Every move was filled with killing intent!
No mercy, no wasted words, no hesitation!
This was what Young Master Shen Anyu had personally instructed them: when facing Wei Yun, they must go all out from the very beginning. Never take him lightly. Never monologue. And certainly not send themselves to him one by one like fodder in a bad movie!
These female experts were all Shen Anyu's guards, all [Innate Realm] and above. Internal energy flowed through their bodies, making them capable of harming people by plucking flowers and leaves, their strikes even more potent than bullets!
The leading middle-aged woman was even a [Martial Arts Grandmaster], whom even Shen Anyu respectfully called Aunt Xiao, not treating her as a subordinate; such was the weight of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
Wei Yun's expression changed drastically. His pupils constricted. He never expected to encounter an encirclement by a Martial Arts Grandmaster and a dozen or so Innate experts here, in a school!
In a flash, Wei Yun's instincts screamed. He threw himself to the side, performing a clumsy roll, tumbling awkwardly on the muddy ground. He barely managed to narrowly avoid the core of the encirclement, dodging three simultaneous strikes.
But he wasn't fast enough.
A deep bloody gash, visible to the bone, was left on his back—it was from Aunt Xiao, the Martial Arts Grandmaster!
"Kill!"
Aunt Xiao snorted coldly, flicking the blood from her blade. She once again signaled everyone to attack.
Although as a Martial Arts Grandmaster, bullying a junior in the Innate Realm felt somewhat inappropriate to her, loyalty came first.
Since Young Master Shen Anyu had personally instructed her, she would prioritize obeying orders!
However, Wei Yun's strength and reaction also greatly surprised her. Although he was only at [Innate Peak], his movement techniques were strange and slippery. He was already comparable to an early-stage Martial Arts Grandmaster in terms of combat awareness.
But Aunt Xiao was a [Grandmaster Peak] expert!
Energy surged, and sword light was chilling. The air was filled with the sound of steel clashing and the thuds of blows landing.
"Ah…"
Finally, with a shrill scream of agony, Wei Yun escaped. He sacrificed his left arm to block a fatal blow, using the momentum of the impact to launch himself over the wall.
[Ding! Child of Destiny Wei Yun was severely wounded and fled! Plundering +66,666 Destiny Points!]
[Ding! Child of Destiny Wei Yun's mental state was damaged! Plundering +99,999 Destiny Points!]
…
[Location: Riverside Luxury Mansion]
"A bit interesting. As expected of a Child of Destiny, he can still escape under such circumstances!"
Shen Anyu sat at his dining table, elegantly cutting a piece of steak. He received Aunt Xiao's apologetic report via earpiece while enjoying his meal.
He showed an expression of "as expected" and wasn't too disappointed.
Since Wei Yun posed no threat, Shen Anyu wanted to conduct an experiment to see if a Child of Destiny could be killed by others.
Wei Yun's cultivation at [Innate Peak], although Sons of Destiny can usually fight above their level—as if the major realm divisions were only meant to be broken by them—at most he was equivalent to an early or mid-stage Grandmaster.
He was no match for Aunt Xiao, Shen Anyu's guard captain, who was at [Grandmaster Peak].
And Shen Anyu, even without mentioning his [God-Level Steel Body], was already at [Late-Stage Grandmaster] cultivation. Plus his [Extraordinary Lightning Ability] and various miraculous skills, he could completely crush Wei Yun.
With his Divine Steel Body, Wei Yun couldn't even break his defense, no matter how much he tried to kill him.
From the current results, it seemed that unless Shen Anyu, who possessed the [Destined Villain] halo, personally made a move, it was difficult for others to kill a Child of Destiny! The world itself seemed to bend to save them.
Unless the Child of Destiny's halo was completely shattered!
Sons of Destiny are like unkillable cockroaches; even when they encounter danger, they turn misfortune into blessings, and sometimes even gain greater opportunities.
Others who jump off a cliff become meat paste, but a Child of Destiny who jumps off a cliff is highly likely to find a cave with an ancient manual, gain a great opportunity, and soar directly!
"However, I can indirectly strike at Sons of Destiny and weaken their Destiny Value by suppressing and plundering them, and by seizing their associated destined heroines!"
"When the Destiny Value is low, the Child of Destiny's halo also weakens!"
"Wei Yun has at least half of his Destiny Value gone now, otherwise he wouldn't have had to lose an arm to escape! He would have found a secret passage or something."
Shen Anyu smiled faintly, deep in thought, sipping his wine.
If Wei Yun had been in his prime, even such a powerful lineup wouldn't have been able to take his left arm. Wei Yun must have encountered many dangers in the dark world, but he always survived.
But now, Wei Yun's only destined heroine, Jiang Linlin, had already been thoroughly taken by Shen Anyu. Her favorability was almost maxed out, and there was no longer any possibility with Wei Yun.
And Wei Yun had also been repeatedly struck, his mental state shattered. With less than half of his Destiny Value remaining, he was vulnerable.
"It's also time to start harvesting. Sons of Destiny can't be killed? I, the Destined Villain, will personally make a move and send him to his death!"
Shen Anyu sneered inwardly.
…
[Location: Modu University - The Small Grove]
On the other side, after Wei Yun escaped, he did not go far.
He hid in plain sight, still within the Modu University campus, returning to the small grove below the female dormitory. He pressed a cloth to his severed arm, his face pale as paper, gritting his teeth against the pain.
Crimson blood seeped through his clothes, staining the grass.
But he didn't care. As long as it was for Linlin!
"Linlin... no matter what, I must tell you Shen Anyu's true colors!"
After Wei Yun waited for a long time, the bell rang. Jiang Linlin had finished her classes.
She walked out of the building, preparing to return to the female dormitory to change her clothes and go on her date with Shen Anyu.
Jiang Linlin grew more and more beautiful. Love nourished her.
As she walked along the road, countless male students and male teachers were dumbfounded, unable to tear their eyes away. Some even bumped into trees, distracted by her radiance.
"Linlin, your charm is so great now, you're more confident!"
Liu Mi covered her red lips and smiled at the scene, her eyes flowing with allure. She was truly a little enchantress who could charm people to death without paying the price.
Jiang Linlin smiled slightly; she felt comfortable both inside and out. Her mind was at ease, naturally making her more confident and charming.
"All of this is thanks to Brother Shen!" Jiang Linlin thought to herself, clutching her books.
If not for Brother Shen, Grandma Zhong would still be bedridden. She would have to diligently balance her studies and live streaming every month, as well as caring for Grandma Zhong, earning medical expenses and their living expenses. It was very hard.
But now, all of this had been resolved by Brother Shen.
Furthermore, the Asura Assassin organization that killed her parents had also been annihilated.
Wei Yun, that insane ingrate, with the guards sent by Brother Shen, didn't dare to harm her either.
Jiang Linlin felt that everything was so wonderful.
Shen Anyu was like a peerless hero stepping on colorful clouds, a blessing from heaven to her!
Only…
Jiang Linlin pursed her lips, a hint of complexity appearing in her beautiful eyes.
She hadn't thought much of it before, but the red limited-edition Lamborghini that brought her today... wasn't that the same car that picked up Su Hongmian yesterday?
Could it be that Su Hongmian was also Brother Shen's girlfriend? Or even his official marriage partner?
Both were Modu University's campus beauties. Jiang Linlin also knew Su Hongmian, and knew that Su Hongmian's family background was infinitely better than hers; it was said her family had tens of billions.
If Su Hongmian was Brother Shen's marriage partner, would Brother Shen abandon her? Was he just playing around?
"No, he wouldn't. Brother Shen is so good to me, he wouldn't…"
Jiang Linlin was unwilling to accept this fact. The thought of such a situation pained her to the extreme.
It wasn't about being reluctant to part with wealth or power. If she were vain, many people in the past had offered to keep her, easily earning millions annually. But Jiang Linlin had refused them all, insisting on self-reliance, having worked as a tutor and a waitress.
It was just that a favorability of 99 wasn't a cold number. It was burning love.
This pure campus beauty, admired by countless people at Modu University, had completely fallen in love, unable to extricate herself!
"At worst... I'll be Brother Shen's concubine. And ask Su Hongmian, the main wife, for her consent. Isn't that how it is on TV? Brother Shen is so strong, she alone wouldn't be able to handle him…"
Jiang Linlin bit her lip, thinking helplessly.
"Linlin!"
Just then, a figure with a severed arm suddenly rushed out from the bushes, covered in blood and dirt.
