Chapter 194 192: Attack, Part 3

Ye Chunshui let out a long sigh of relief. With her mood improved, she felt like teasing Mu Lin. "Brother Mu, stop joking around. Do you even know how to look scared?"

Mu Lin quickly replied, "Of course I do! Look, my hands are trembling!"

While they were chatting, a bleak gloom hung over the Xu Family.

They had thought they could get rid of Mu Lin with ease, but who could have known he would be this powerful?

He had even taken down Mr. Chang in the process.

The way they looked at Mu Lin was as if they were looking at a monster. 'Is there anyone in this world who can deal with this man?'

Mu Lin saw their expressions and chuckled. "What's wrong? You all look so glum. Disappointed that I'm not dead?"

Xu Jishan, looking completely dejected, said inexplicably, "Yes…"

When Xu Tianyi heard his grandfather say this, he was terrified and cried out in alarm, "Grandpa!"

Only then did Xu Jishan snap out of it. 'Weren't those words just asking for death?'

"No, no, that's not what I meant! Please, listen to me!"

Mu Lin chuckled. "Of course I know that's not what you meant. You just want me to die sooner, right? So your grandson can continue his debauched and immoral activities."

Hearing this, Xu Jishan's expression hardened. "Sir, watch your words! An ancestor of my Xu Family was a top scholar in the imperial exams, and another was a prime minister!"

"Your power may be greater than all of ours combined, but you still cannot slander the dignity of the Xu Family!"

Mu Lin narrowed his eyes. The old man's face was dark with anger. 'Does this mean he might genuinely not know about this?'

"Do you know that your grandson was using psychic control on a young woman, intending to do wicked things?"

Mu Lin pointed at Ye Chunshui. "I was at the pharmacy when I saw him controlling her and intervened to help. He flew into a rage from the shame and ordered a man named Elder Yun to attack me."

Huh?! Xu Jishan's jaw dropped. He turned to look at Xu Tianyi in utter astonishment.

"Tianyi, this isn't what you told me!"

"Is what the Divine Master says true?!"

Xu Tianyi looked hesitantly at Mu Lin, then back at Xu Jishan.

He didn't know what to do next.

If he didn't tell the truth, with Mu Lin's power, he would surely be slapped to death with a single blow.

But if he told the truth, his grandfather would definitely kill him too.

"It's true! It's all true!" Xu Tianyi dropped to his knees with a THUD, so scared he didn't dare to move.

"I put the drug in water and gave it to this young lady, and then she was under my control…"

SLAP! Xu Jishan viciously slapped Xu Tianyi across the face. "The honor of a hundred generations of the Xu Family has been completely ruined by you!"

Mu Lin just stood to the side watching the show, completely composed.

Zhou Qianfan shook his head. "When Ying'Er told me she had made contact with the Xu Family, I was quite happy. After all, they were supposed to be a good family. I never thought the Xu Family would be of such low character."

Mu Lin smiled faintly. "When a family line stretches on for long enough, a few unfilial sons are bound to appear. If they're discovered early, they can be cast aside. If he were actually pushed into the position of heir, then it would truly be over."

Xu Jishan broke out in a cold sweat. 'Isn't Mu Lin talking about me?'

"Where did you get this kind of pill?"

Xu Jishan glanced at Xu Tianyi. "Speak! The Divine Master is asking you a question!"

Xu Tianyi said, trembling, "Mr. Chang gave it to me!"

Mu Lin narrowed his eyes. "A pill like this is no small matter. It can achieve such a degree of control just by being dissolved in water and having someone take a sip. Is this Mr. Chang an idiot?"

Xu Tianyi quickly said, "Actually, Mr. Chang and I have a great relationship. We're good friends, so he gave it to me as a gift."

"Oh? He gave you a pill worth a villa just to get on your good side? Are you really that important?" Mu Lin's expression began to darken. It was infuriating that Xu Tianyi was still lying, even now.

Xu Tianyi's eyes flickered. "Of course! I said I was willing to submit to him, so he gave it to me!"

"Are you done lying?" Mu Lin's gaze was desolate, and he was even moved to kill. "This is your last chance. Where did these pills come from! If you don't tell the truth, all of you will die."

Terrified, Xu Tianyi rushed to say, "I stole them from my grandfather's office!"

Mu Lin smiled and looked at Xu Jishan. "Patriarch Xu, you really are a fine Patriarch! Hiding in the back and letting your grandson take the fall for you."

Xu Jishan quickly took out a porcelain vial. "They're all here! I'll give them all to you, Divine Master! Please, I beg you to spare him!"

Mu Lin pulled out the vial's stopper and sniffed it carefully.

It was made with a great many precious medicinal ingredients, using a refining technique he'd never even heard of. 'I'd have to study under the old man for many years to gain this kind of skill,' Mu Lin thought.

In terms of both materials and craftsmanship, it was of the highest quality.

"They're all here? I find that hard to believe. Didn't Young Master Xu just say he took these from your office? So you just happened to bring all the pills stored in your office with you today? Are you perhaps a prophet who knew I would be asking for them?"

Xu Jishan was frantic. 'How did I fail to fool Mu Lin?' he thought.

"How many are there in total? Hand them all over, or the Xu Family will be wiped off the map today."

Xu Jishan said with a grim face, "There are several dozen more. They're all stored in my office."

Mu Lin glanced at Xu Tianyi. "You. Bring every last one of them here. Don't try any tricks, or the Xu Family is finished."

With an extremely ugly expression, Xu Jishan watched Xu Tianyi depart.

Zhou Qianfan said, "Patriarch Xu, what kind of pills are these, that you'd be willing to risk your life to protect them?"

Xu Jishan said, "I haven't tried them yet, but Mr. Chang said these pills can control Grandmaster-level experts…"

Zhou Qianfan's face changed color when he heard this. "What?! Grandmaster-level experts? Doesn't that mean you could use them to quickly build a force capable of devastating the world?"

One had to understand that there weren't many Grandmasters in the world to begin with. If you could control several dozen of them at once, you could carve out a huge territory for yourself, provided you chose your opponents carefully.

No wonder Xu Jishan was so secretive about them.
