Chapter 130: Injuring Lin Yu (1/2)
Tian Long City was densely packed with travellers, but those riding horses were rare. Ye Wuchen and Long Zhenyang obviously attracted the attention of the passers-by. Long Zhenyang was as impatient as burning fire. As he said, right now, Lin Xiu’s chances for survive was extremely slim, and each passing moment brought danger to her life. He would not dare to delay a minute or a second than what was needed. At Lin Xiu’s side, a lot of people were similarly waiting as their hearts burned with anxiety.
“Brother Long, you’ve never witnessed my medical skills, but judging by your attitude, it seems as if you are certain that I will be able to save your mother. How come?” Ye Wuchen asked curiously.
“Instinct.” Long Zhenyang said seriously.
“Instinct?”
“Right! That time we met each other at the small town of Tian Lie, it was a wonderful chance for us to get to know each other. After you and Ning Xue left, my grandfather had made a comment that frightened me, he said that… Heavenly Star Continent shall move according to your will.”
“......”
“I never doubted things that my grandfather said, but during that time, I only partly believed it… Your performance so far has already made me believe it eighty percent. Everything you’ve made has greatly exceeded everyone’s expectations. And few days ago, Tao BaiBai also died in your hands. Although this incident has not been spread, I still know of it. Now, I really want to know, if there’s anything that you cannot do.” Long Zhenyang’s eyes stared at him complicatedly.
Ye Wuchen shook his head, with a faint smile and said, “Brother Long, you think too highly of me.”
“Not too high, it’s still beneath the reality. You are destined to not just be an ordinary person. I believe that you must have a way to help save my mother.” Long Zhenyang said.
The two men, on their horses galloping at lightning speed, quickly passed the first half of their journey. On the street, a very crafty and arrogant young man with three attendants came out from a restaurant—he was Lin Yu of the Lin Family. At this time, the entire Lin Family had been running around helplessly due to Lin Xiu’s situation, but this second son of Lin Family was still striking a posture as if it was none of his concern even if the sky were to collapse upon him. He still went around the city spending his time drinking in leisure.
The two horses were coming towards his direction. When he caught a glimpse of Ye Wuchen on horseback, his eyes became shady, and the fury inside his heart started to flame up. He said in a low voice, “Go, make that man’s horse stumble down.”
For not having seen each other in more than five years, he was not able to recognize that the man beside Ye Wuchen was actually the crown prince, Long Zhenyang.
This did not seem to lack the intention to do similarly worse things before. The three attendants responded without hesitation, each held a strange rod as they dashed out. As long as they could get near the horse and smash its feet. The man on the horse’s back would certainly fly off into the distance, obtaining serious injuries from the fall.
The moment Lin Yu saw Ye Wuchen, Ye Wuchen had already seen him prior to that. At the three approaching figures with rods, Ye Wuchen laughed coldly, “Brother Long, I think someone intends to block our way.”
Long Zhenyang’s heart was already anxious, worrying about Lin Xiu’s life. He got distracted from his worry upon hearing the words and remarked in anger, “Whoever blocks our way shall die!”
When his voice dropped, two people rushed from the crowd, each raising a the rod on either side to smash at the legs of Ye Wuchen’s horse. Ye Wuchen grabs the horsewhip, firmly brandished it as if to instill his power into the long whip and like a viper, it launched towards the two. It was flung into their chests, one whip to the front and another on their backs.
Mournful cries followed soon after as the bodies of the two men were heavily smashed out of the way where they lay on the ground, unconscious. On their chests, they were individually marked with a very long wound that oozed blood, which was a ghastly sight.
Ye Wuchen’s eyes inclined, focusing at Lin Yu, who was now stupefied from the shock. Ye Wuchen’s right arm suddenly swung out.
“Wait a moment, he is…” Long Zhenyang had finally seen that the person was Lin Yu. In a great rush, he went over to dissuade Ye Wuchen from attacking but the horsewhip already lashed out; he was too late.
A miserable shout, like that of a dying a pig, sounded as the long and flexible whip had nailed onto Lin Yu’s right leg like a dagger. Moreover, it hit the spot of his leg muscle exactly.
Fresh blood splattered everywhere. Lin Yu covered his right leg, lying on the ground, shrieking in pain as huge drops of cold sweat appeared on his head. Soon after, he passed out from the pain. The crowd immediately went frenetic, the only remaining attendant who had luckily escaped this tragedy was so scared that both his legs trembled violently. For a very long time, he was not able to regain his composure.
“He will be alright. He won’t die. For wasting the precious time we have to save your mother, he is guilty enough for the death penalty.” Ye Wuchen said coldly, the corner of his mouth exposing an undetected evil smile. He was obviously venting out his anger without considering the outcome. This punishment was owed to him by the Lin Family, and they must accept it without any regrets. That was one less evil man in the Tian Long City.
These words from Ye Wuchen breaks off Long Zhenyang’s intention to stop over, he sighed inwardly, temporarily leaving this matter at the back of his mind, making the fastest speed to hurry back to the palace.
In a flash, they reached the Imperial Palace. With Long Zhenyang leading the way, one after another, the guards did not stop them, and they passed through without any obstruction. When Long Zhenyang and Ye Wuchen arrived at the Empress’ chambers, inside was still full of people, with everyone continually moaning and groaning in pain. The Lin Family only coldly glanced at Ye Wuchen’s arrival, then disdainfully turned their faces to the opposite direction. Evidently, they did not believe he could heal Lin Xiu.
The first thing Ye Wuchen saw was an old man standing very still, but it was just a glimpse. The old man had looked back at him indifferently, then withdrew his gaze, lack any emotion. Aside from this young man’s outstanding appearance, there was nothing else peculiar about him.
“Brother Ye, quick. Hurry and take a look at my mother.” Long Zhenyang dragged Ye Wuchen along by his hands, directly heading towards Lin Xiu’s bed. At this time, only Lin Xiu’s eyelids occasionally moved, while the rest of her body could no longer move. A while ago, the pale greyish color on her body that Shui Nanhe had temporarily contained using his power recurred again, this time it was an even deeper shade of grey.
The crowd went silent, as everyone looked at Ye Wuchen who was thoughtful. Long Zhengyue stepped aside, and although his heart did not have any hope left, he still longing for a miracle to happen.
