Chapter 363 362: Absolutely Cannot Be Touched

"The Manor Master repeatedly warned me that we must never provoke the Celestial Dragon Temple."

"You have to be rational, sir!"

Yun Cheng also said, "Feng Gaoyu has a High Monk from the Celestial Dragon Temple protecting him, not to mention a Grandmaster Powerhouse guarding him nearby. It's extremely dangerous."

"Mr. Mu, you might not believe this, but I have to be honest with you—even our Military Suppression Bureau doesn't dare to clash too aggressively with the Celestial Dragon Temple, for fear of what might happen."

Mu Lin slowly nodded. "That's all trivial. I just want to save her right now. Don't bring up anything else. Hurry up and lead the way so I can take care of other things."

Yun Cheng was stunned. "Mr. Mu, didn't you hear me? I told you not to do anything."

"I said, lead the way!" Mu Lin's face was stern, looking as if he didn't care about the danger at all.

Yun Cheng was so angry he was about to lose it. He had been talking to Mu Lin for so long, and not a single word had gotten through?

'What is wrong with this guy?'

Jiang Lan was also very nervous. "Mr. Mu, you're being too irrational! There's no way we can fight the Celestial Dragon Temple. I'm begging you, please stop. Don't make things worse."

Mu Lin turned to look at Jiang Lan. "Miss Jiang, by your logic, does it not matter if Luo Wanqing's life is in danger?"

Jiang Lan was speechless. She never expected Mu Lin to put it that way.

She and Luo Wanqing were like sisters; how could she not want her to be safe?

'But in a situation like this, is 'safe' even an option?'

'It's just too difficult.'

For Mu Lin to resolutely choose to face the Celestial Dragon Temple head-on under such pressure, he had truly cast aside all thought of life and death.

Tears welled in Jiang Lan's eyes, and her gaze toward Mu Lin was filled with gratitude.

Yun Cheng knew they had to go, so he had no choice but to walk ahead and lead the way.

As he walked, Mu Lin dialed a number. He wanted to discuss things with Jiang Long.

After all, Jiang Long was the direct leader of this small team. Mu Lin couldn't just act recklessly without considering his opinion; he definitely needed to consult him beforehand.

"Mr. Mu, what's up?" Jiang Long was still busy and asked as soon as he picked up the phone.

"There's something I have to tell you..." After Mu Lin explained the situation, there was a moment of silence on Jiang Long's end before he finally said:

"Mr. Mu, you go right ahead. If you can't handle the expert from the Celestial Dragon Temple, I'll step in and help you. You've helped us this much; we would never abandon you!"

Mu Lin chuckled. "Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease."

God knows if he was just being polite, but either way, Jiang Long was very pleased to hear it.

"Hand the phone to Yun Cheng. I need to give him some instructions."

Mu Lin waved Yun Cheng over and handed him the phone.

Yun Cheng was a little confused. 'What is Mu Lin up to?' But he sobered up instantly when he took the phone and heard Team Leader Jiang Long on the other end.

"Team Leader!"

"Yun Cheng, there are a few things I need to tell you..."

After Jiang Long finished, Yun Cheng said in disbelief, "Team Leader, is this really okay? The enemy we're facing is extraordinarily powerful. Shouldn't we request reinforcements?"

"Mu Lin is enough. Anyone else would just be dead weight."

He handed the phone back to Mu Lin, his face a mask of incredulity.

'My God, how could this be happening...'

'The captain actually said that...'

'Does he even take his team members seriously?'

'Mu Lin alone is worth more than all of us here? If the others heard you say that, they'd burst into tears.'

But since that's what Jiang Long meant, that's what it was.

'So, we just let Mu Lin take the lead while the rest of us... slack off.'

'Fine. If he wants us to slack off, we'll slack off.'

Yun Cheng led his team members, trailing behind calmly. He just wanted to see what this Mu Lin was capable of.

He handed the phone back to Mu Lin, then waved his team members over and said a few words.

The team members were also shocked. They'd never encountered a situation like this.

In all their years as members of the Military Suppression Bureau, this was the first time they'd learned that "slacking off" was an option.

'Alright, alright. Slack off it is.'

Yun Cheng led the way, and soon Mu Lin arrived at a villa complex.

Inside one of the villas, a fleshy-faced middle-aged man was drinking, his brow furrowed with boundless, unvented rage.

"Master Mingjing, why isn't the sacred healing medicine from your Celestial Dragon Temple here yet! I'm dying of impatience!"

He wasn't anxious for himself, but for Luo Wanqing!

He had captured Luo Wanqing and was thrilled, thinking he was in for a night of pleasure.

But he never expected that Luo Wanqing would actually ruin her own face, making herself so ugly it was nauseating. This infuriated him to no end.

He hadn't captured Luo Wanqing just to look at an ugly woman.

Fortunately, Master Mingjing said the Celestial Dragon Temple had a sacred healing medicine that was extremely effective on minor facial injuries like hers.

Once she was healed, Luo Wanqing would be a stunning beauty again.

At that point, he would tie her hands and feet and see how she could possibly disfigure herself again.

Of course, after he got tired of playing with her, he wouldn't care what she did to her face.

The old monk meditating nearby spoke calmly, "Donor Feng, do not be anxious. It is only morning. Surely you do not intend to enjoy the woman during the day?"

Feng Gaoyu gritted his teeth. "For a stunner like her, are there rules about when I can enjoy her? I just want to use her well. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with that?"

The old monk said, "It will be delivered by this afternoon at the latest. You need not be so hasty."

Behind Feng Gaoyu stood two Grandmaster-level experts—the very two experts Jiang Long had mentioned were heading to Lanyang.

Feng Gaoyu looked up at the ceiling, picturing Luo Wanqing's original appearance, then recalling what she looked like now. He couldn't help but feel anxious.

But since the Celestial Dragon Temple said they had a sacred healing medicine, there was no need to rush. He could wait a little longer.

Suddenly, Master Mingjing said, "Someone has come to die. Young Master Three, you may want to step aside while I clean them up."

Feng Gaoyu's lips tightened, and he immediately stood up. "I understand!"

Although he had two Grandmaster experts with him, he didn't want to see a scene covered in blood.

'I'd better leave quickly, lest I end up vomiting last night's dinner when Master Mingjing beats the intruder to a bloody pulp.'

But before Feng Gaoyu could leave, the villa's main door was kicked open.

Mu Lin strode in, followed by a helpless-looking Yun Cheng.

He had planned to knock on the door properly. After all, Feng Gaoyu wasn't a convicted criminal yet, so they still had to follow basic procedure.

If they just barged in and the Feng Family reported it to the higher-ups at the Military Suppression Bureau, they would be in deep trouble.

When that happened, countless problems would pile up, enough to completely derail their objective.

Mu Lin said, "Where is Luo Wanqing? Hand her over!"

Hearing Mu Lin's words, Feng Gaoyu turned around and roared with laughter. "Looking for her? You'll have to get through me first!"

Master Mingjing said:

"Donor Feng, please leave quickly. It is dangerous here. This humble monk may not be able to protect you!"

"Master Mingjing, don't worry. With you here, I have nothing to fear. Besides, I have my own experts for protection. I'll naturally step aside when the fighting starts. I just want to see what this person who's overestimating himself and trying to save Luo Wanqing looks like."

Master Mingjing looked displeased but said nothing more.

That was just Feng Gaoyu's personality. Pushing him might just make him unhappy, and God knows what he would do then.

'To get more benefits from Feng Gaoyu in the future, it's best to humor him a little.'

"Since that is your wish, Donor, this humble monk will not say more. However, please be careful and make sure you are not caught in this humble monk's attacks."

From the very beginning, the only reason Master Mingjing had told Feng Gaoyu to leave was to prevent him from being caught in his own attacks.

He hadn't considered Mu Lin's attacks at all. In their eyes, this kid was so young that dealing with him would be effortless, no challenge whatsoever.

Mu Lin laughed when he heard their conversation. "Gentlemen, am I truly that incompetent in your eyes?"

He genuinely found it ridiculous, almost to the point of laughing out loud.

"Donor, this old monk advises you: turn back now while you still can. Leave at once, and do not involve yourself in this dangerous affair."

Mu Lin smiled. "Dangerous? I'm the one who's a danger to you."

Master Mingjing was going crazy. 'What kind of person is this? I'm telling him to leave, and he won't go.'

Feng Gaoyu cursed, "Who the hell are you? You're so shameless! Didn't you hear Master Mingjing telling you to leave?"

Mu Lin said, "I am a friend of Luo Wanqing. I'm not leaving until I've rescued her."
