Chapter 99: Attacking Intent
Standing on top of a tall tree, Lin Yemao gazed downwards at Su Chen, his heart agitated.
Dammit, he had finally caught up to this bastard.
He had spent quite a bit of effort over these last few days to chase after Su Chen.
Although the Origin-Seeking Mirror he possessed could track traces of Origin Energy, it took time to activate, and it was limited in the number of times it could be used. To chase after Su Chen, he had used it three times in the past ten days. He had lost quite a bit.
Only the heavens knew how Su Chen could run so much. He would bounce from place to place, actually avoiding any set locations. One had to know that the Scarlet Mountain Range was extremely dangerous, not a location where low-layer Origin Qi Scholars could run around as they pleased. In Lin Yemao’s eyes, Taking risks like this might as well be looking for death.
As he had been following Su Chen all over the place, Lin Yemao didn’t actually run into very many Vicious Beasts. He was convinced Su Chen was blessed with luck to avoid beasts so easily. Later, when he caught him, he would definitely have to vent some of his frustration, Lin Yemao thought, his killing intent surging.
At this moment, Su Chen was also gazing at Lin Yemao with shock. He didn’t understand why this person would suddenly appear here.
From his appearance, it was clear that Lin Yemao had come for Su Chen. Did the slight run-in at the Upwind Pavilion really anger Lin Yemao so much that he chased for such a long distance to kill him?
Was that worth it?
Lin Yemao said, “Su Chen, now that you’re here, no one can protect you. I want to see how long you can be arrogant for!”
“Hey…… Aren’t you being the arrogant one here?” Su Chen asked. “Mister Lin Yemao, when did I ever offend you?”
Lin Yemao laughed loudly. “What, now you know the meaning of fear?”
…… I’m just trying to reason with you. I’m not afraid, okay?
Su Chen was speechless.
However, in some sense, trying to reason could be interpreted as weakness and fear.
The weaker one was, the more one liked to reason.
Thus, Su Chen didn’t bother with niceties or anything else. He directly said, “Just tell me why you’re looking for me.”
Lin Yemao harrumphed. “Su Chen, I won’t waste your time. You are a blind person, and yet you were able to enter the Qi Drawing Realm without many resources, and you maintained first place in the Su Clan’s end-of-year competition for many years in a row. You were also able to return alive from the Scarlet Mountain Range. There’s no way that all of these things are just a coincidence. You can trick others, but you can’t trick me. I’m confident that you possess a unique secret!”
“Hm?” Su Chen was quite shocked.
So Lin Yemao had chased him all this way because he believed that Su Chen had some kind of great secret on him?
Lin Yemao said, “If you’re smart, give me the secret, and I can spare your life.”
Su Chen said, “So you chased me for so many days, even ruining your mink skin, just to figure out what my secret is?”
“Is that not enough of a reason? That secret is enough to allow a blind person to lead the Su Clan. If I were to obtain it……” Lin Yemao darkly laughed, “I will definitely be able to rise through the ranks, and I will no longer be the third-ranked seedling of the Lin Clan.”
A trace of sympathy flashed across Su Chen’s eyes. “I’m afraid that this will be somewhat difficult. My secret is useful to me, but that doesn’t mean it will be useful to you.”
Lin Yemao impatiently said, “If you don’t take it out, how do you know that it won’t be useful to me?”
Su Chen sighed. “The problem is that I’ve already taken it out, but you are blind and unable to tell. There’s nothing more I can do!”
Lin Yemao was enraged. “You mock me?”
Su Chen shook his head. “I’m really not mocking you, I’m just reminding you. Perhaps it’s because you’re standing too high and your cognitive ability is insufficient. Why not come down so that the IQ that is stuck at your feet can go back to your head. Maybe you’ll be able to recover some of that cognitive ability.”
When Lin Yemao heard this, his vision blurred. He paused for a moment before realising that Su Chen was mocking him. He was about to get angry when he suddenly realized something else. He pointed at Su Chen as he cried out in disbelief, “You…… you…… you can see me?”
He lowered his head, looking at himself.
His mink overcoat had very clearly been torn by tree branches. He had accidentally torn it during the past ten days when he had been chasing after Su Chen.
As well as the fact that he was standing high up…… this definitely was not something that could be determined by hearing alone!
Su Chen sighed once again. “I just said that I’d already revealed my secret to you. It’s just that you were blind and were unable to see it.”
From the moment Su Chen said “It’s you?”, he had never concealed the fact that he could see. After all, Su Changche had discovered his secret already, and the matter of Su Chen recovering his blindness would very likely begin to spread like fire on the wind.
He hadn’t expected, however, that Lin Yemao would only react now.
Lin Yemao acted as if he had been struck by lightning.
Su Chen was not blind!
He actually wasn’t blind!
How could he not be blind!
This bastard, he had tricked everyone.
No wonder he had said that his secret couldn’t be used by others.
