The second stop was for Tao Chen, a Strength Realm martial artist from a commoner background. He was a guard at the Jing’an District Registrar’s house.

“The registrar of Jing’an District…”

Lin Yan suddenly remembered that there was a senior brother who had been chased out of Dragon Gate Pavilion. His family seemed to be the registrar of Jing’an District.

Name…

He could not remember. He only remembered that his surname was Bai and his leg was broken.

Following the address, he found a narrow bungalow and knocked on Tao Chen’s door.

“Little Chen, you’re back?”

The person who opened the door was an old lady with gray hair. Her eyes were turbid and she was actually blind, but the ends of her hair were combed meticulously. Although her clothes were old, they were washed very clean.

Old Madam, I’m from the Demon Suppression Division. I’m here to look for

Tao Chen.”

Oh, why are you looking for Chen’er?”

This old lady was neither servile nor overbearing, so Lin Yan briefly told her about the Dingdeng Genius Battle.

“Dingdeng Genius Battle?” The old lady’s body trembled slightly.

“You’ve heard of this?

I’ve only heard others mention that Chen’er is talented. If he has the chance to partic.i.p.ate in this genius battle, he might be able to soar into the sky.”

The old lady gripped the door so hard that her knuckles turned white, but she still had an amiable smile on her face. “Young man, is it possible to leave Ding’an City and go to a higher place after partic.i.p.ating in this Dingdeng Genius Battle?”

“You’re right to think that way.”

Okay, okay.”

A smile appeared on the old lady’s face. Her declining wrinkles were stacked together, and she looked relieved.

“Chen’er is not at home. He’s still working at the Jing’an District Registrar’s house. Please go to Jing’an District to look for him. Please advise him to accept the invitation!”

Lin Yan looked at the old lady strangely. He felt that there was a hidden meaning in her words, but he didn’t think too much about it and turned around to leave.

Lin Yan didn’t know where the registrar of Jing’an District lived. He asked a few people before finding the place.

It was a large residence with a courtyard. Just as he approached the entrance of the residence, he saw a burly young man with an imposing appearance. He carried a wooden saddle chair on his back and was walking back and forth in front of the residence.

On the saddle chair sat a disheveled man with shriveled legs and messy hair.

He laughed crazily and waved the whip in his hand. “Go! Go faster!”

The sound of the whip crackled and landed on the young man’s back and arms from time to time. However, he did not seem to notice it and continued walking quickly without saying a word.

Lin Yan frowned slightly. He recognized that the person whipping the man crazily was the man surnamed Bai who was chased out of Dragon Gate Pavilion after his legs were broken.

Seeing his face, he remembered that this guy’s name was Bai Xin.

The saddle chair should have been installed on the back of the livestock to carry people, but at this moment, it had been specially modified and was firmly tied to the back of the man under him.

Jiao Liang’s expression turned cold. “b.a.s.t.a.r.d, is he treating people like animals?!”

Lin Yan didn’t say anything. He could tell at a glance that the imposing man’s strength was extraordinary. He was clearly at the Strength Realm, but he seemed to have astonis.h.i.+ng strength. After running back and forth so many times, his face wasn’t red and he wasn’t panting.

With such strength, if he didn’t guess wrongly, he was very likely Tao Chen!

Lin Yan walked out first, and Jiao Liang followed behind him.

“Tao Chen!”

Tao Chen paused when he heard the voice and turned his head. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked valiant.

Seeing that he had stopped, Bai Xin, who was on his back, cursed, “Why are you stopping?! Hurry up and go! I’ll slap you!”

As he spoke, two whips were about to fall. Jiao Liang couldn’t stand it anymore and snorted. His figure flashed and he grabbed Bai Xin’s whip in his hand. He pulled hard and dragged Bai Xin’s entire body off.

Tao Chen’s face darkened. He reached out to support Bai Xin, who had fallen, so that he would not be injured.

Bai Xin, on the other hand, was shocked. He was obviously a little crazy. “F*ck! How dare you hit me! Kill them! Tao Chen! Attack and kill them!”

Tao Chen’s entire body stiffened for a moment. He carried the saddle chair and stood up. He looked at Lin Yan and asked in a low voice, “What can I do for you?”

Lin Yan didn’t keep him in suspense and told Tao Chen about the Dingdeng Genius Battle.

“Dingdeng Genius Battle?” Tao Chen was expressionless when he heard that. He replied coldly, “I can’t partic.i.p.ate, please go back.”

As he spoke, he wanted to turn around and help Bai Xin up.

Bai Xin slapped him hard. “Tras.h.!.+ Tras.h.!.+ Kill them! I told you to kill them! If you don’t kill them today, don’t even think about treating your mother’s illness!”

Jiao Liang couldn’t take it anymore and cursed, “Tao Chen, right? What the h.e.l.l are you thinking?

“How many people drcam of partic.i.p.ating in the Dingdeng Genius Battle? You don’t want to go just because you say so? We’ve already met your mother. She’s extremely agreeable to your partic.i.p.ation. Are you going against her expectations?”

Unexpectedly, Tao Chen’s expression changed drastically when he heard this. His eyes suddenly turned bloodshot as he tore off the saddle chair on his back and asked with a ferocious expression, “What! You went to look for my mother?”

Jiao Liang was stunned by his sudden change in expression. “So be it. Why are you so agitated?”

“Tao Chen! How dare you break my beloved saddle chair! You…” Behind him, Bai Xin, who was lying on the ground, screamed!

“Shut up!”

Tao Chen turned around and shouted out explosively instead. His face was like an evil spirit, and it was as if boundless killing intent had descended, and it directly froze all of Bai Xin’s words in his throat.

“Did you really look for my mother?”

Turning around, Tao Chen’s face instantly turned pale. His entire face was pale, and he could not even stand steadily.

Lin Yan seemed to understand something and could only nod silently.

Tao Chen’s expression darkened when he saw this. He turned around and ran.

“Tao Chen, get back here! Don’t you want to treat your mother anymore?!”

A cold light flashed in Jiao Liang’s eyes. “This b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I’ll kill you…”

However, Lin Yan reached out and grabbed his wrist firmly. “There’s no need for you to interfere. Let’s go and follow Tao Chen.”

Jiao Liang was shocked at Lin Yan’s strength as he followed Lin Yan.

Tao Chen was clearly at the Strength Realm, but his speed was not slow. Every step he took seemed to have endless explosive power in his body. He was actually born with divine strength.

The two of them followed him all the way and quickly returned to Tao Chen’s house.

At this moment, the door to his house was open. Looking through the door, Tao Chen seemed to have lost his soul and knelt on the ground.

In front of him was a white-haired old lady hanging high up. A piece of gray cloth and a black one that were tied together wrapped around her neck and hung her high on the beam.

Jiao Liang was shocked and speechless.

Lin Yan clenched his fists tightly. As expected…

After a long while, Tao Chen stood up, put his mother down, and gently tidied her face.

Then, he kowtowed more than ten times before standing up and walking in front of Lin Yan.

His face was as calm as the sea, but his eyes were bloodshot. He cupped his fists solemnly. “Lord, please wait for me for a moment.”

Lin Yan nodded.

Tao Chen strode past the two of them.

Jiao Liang looked at Tao Chen’s back and s.h.i.+vered.

For some reason, even though this Tao Chen was clearly at the Strength Realm, a level lower than him, when Jiao Liang saw him, he felt a little nervous.

He could not help but ask carefully, “Sir, what is he going to do?

Lin Yan glanced at him and said calmly, “What needs to be done.”

Not long after, Tao Chen returned. His sleeves were dyed red with blood, which was dazzling.

Jiao Liang instantly understood that he had gone to kill someone just now!

He walked into the house, picked up his mother, and came to Lin Yan again. “Lord, I want to hold my mother’s funeral first.”

Lin Yan nodded. “Come to Dragon Gate Pavilion at noon tomorrow.”

Thanks a lot.”

With that, Lin Yan and the other man left together.

The next stop was naturally Yu’s Hotel.

On the way, Jiao Liang couldn’t help but sigh. “This Tao Chen is a filial son. How pitiful.”

Lin Yan was silent for a moment before suddenly saying, “You think so?”

“Isn’t that right?”

Lin Yan said expressionlessly, “After Tao Chen entered the house, he didn’t put his mother down immediately. He even waited for a period of time…”

Jiao Liang was stunned, and then he was shocked. It was as if a slippery poisonous snake had climbed up his back, and the cold air reached his bones.

“B-But the change in his painful and angry expression back then did not seem to be fake.”

“It’s indeed not fake.”

“Wouldn’t that be contradictory?”

Lin Yan said calmly, “Is it?”

Jiao Liang’s entire body stiffened. The deep love for his mother and the deep hatred for his mother existed at the same time. Was there a conflict?

Human nature was complicated…

Jiao Liang’s hands and feet turned cold.

He was silent for a moment before saying, “Perhaps we’re thinking too much.

He was just shocked and his mind was blank.”

Lin Yan nodded. “Yes, perhaps we’re thinking too much.”

He did not say anything else. The old lady was blind, so it was definitely inconvenient for her to move. It would take time to tie the cloth rope together, and it would also take time to tie the rope to the beam. Most importantly, when he arrived at the door, he could still hear the faint sound of airflow in the old lady’s nose…

However, he did not stop her at that time. He had no reason, nor did he have the right, to destroy the old lady’s choice.

This was not Tao Chen’s fault. At least, not entirely.

It could only be said that the ones who deserved to die was Bai Xin, the oppressors, and this world.

“Okay, we’re here at Yu’s..”
