Why... why did it turn out like this?
Xiao Lin was still in a state of self-isolation.
His heart was filled with unbearable pain, torment, and self-blame.
After taking his punch, he didn't know how the beautiful sister was doing.
Damn it...
It's all because of that man.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Lin's eyes.
If it weren't for that man putting on an act in front of the beautiful sister, he wouldn't have done such a thing.
But...
This wasn't some remote mountain forest. He absolutely couldn't just rush over and kill Gu Yan.
Especially since the beautiful sister didn't know Gu Yan's true face. If he rashly killed him, it might only make the beautiful sister hate him more.
That's right...
He needed to find a way to let the beautiful sister know Gu Yan's true face!
Zhang Qing looked at Xiao Lin, who still had a blank expression.
She angrily stomped her foot and scolded, "You jerk! I'm going to have President Shen talk to you!"
With that, Zhang Qing stormed off towards the building in a rage.
As she walked, Zhang Qing also cursed inwardly, what an unreliable man!
And just as the crowd was gathering to cause trouble.
Several people with suspicious looks also quietly mixed into the crowd.
Mei Xue stood in the shadow of a large tree. Though her eyes were covered, she seemed able to see the situation at the main entrance of Tianye Pharmaceutical Technology. "Sending these people should be enough..." she muttered to herself.
However, the next second.
"Hmm? You're planning to just send these useless people to test Xiao Lin's abilities?"
A mocking voice sounded beside her ear.
!!!
Mei Xue was startled and quickly pulled out a dagger, stabbing towards the source of the voice.
However, just as the dagger was about to pierce the other person, Mei Xue also saw clearly what they looked like, or rather...
She sensed the other person's energy fluctuations, and she frowned unconsciously: "Gu Yan?"
"That's right, it's me."
Gu Yan looked at the dagger that was only 0.01 millimeters from his throat, and nodded with a smile.
According to the original plot, the first conflict between Leng Qingqiu and the original male protagonist Xiao Lin was when Xiao Lin became a security guard at Tianye Pharmaceutical Technology.
So naturally, he had to come and see.
Mei Xue put away her dagger expressionlessly and said coldly, "Next time, don't sneak up on me without a sound. I'm afraid next time I might not be able to stop myself from killing you."
"Haha, sorry, sorry. But I didn't expect Miss Mei to be unable to sense an ordinary person like me approaching you."
Gu Yan shrugged, his eyes revealing a hint of mysterious meaning.
Oh?
She couldn't sense him approaching?
That was quite interesting.
Could it also be an ability of the Cosmic Pure Love Technique?
Hearing Gu Yan's words, Mei Xue naturally didn't believe them: "Hmph, you'd better be an ordinary person."
As soon as she finished speaking, some commotion came from the entrance.
It turned out that the suspicious-looking people who had mixed into the crowd began to take the lead: "I say, everyone, let's not just protest out here!!!"
"It's no use unless we charge into that damned Shen Wan'er's office and talk to her face to face!"
"To get back what belongs to us! Those who are brave! Come with me and charge in!!"
"We're here to get our wages anyway! It doesn't count as causing trouble!"
A man with a scar on his face shouted, holding up his protest sign.
As soon as these words were spoken.
Another suspicious-looking man also shouted: "I agree!! I'm in favor!!"
A woman with a lip piercing also stepped forward and cursed angrily: "I want my money! Those with guts come charge in with me! Those without guts, don't expect us to help you get your money!"
With these words.
Everyone no longer hesitated.
"Charge! They never open the door!"
"They never meet with us! Let's charge in and drag that Shen Wan'er out!!"
They roared as they charged towards the railing.
Crack! Crack!!
With human force, the fragile railing broke with one collision.
The crowd poured in like ants.
"Hey! What are you trying to do! Don't come in!"
"You know this is a crime, right!"
A group of security guards' expressions changed drastically as they desperately tried to block the crowd.
Outside.
Gu Yan watched this scene, but there was no surprise in his eyes.
In the original story, although Shen Wan'er's company didn't have a bankruptcy plot, in order to probe Xiao Lin's abilities.
So Leng Qingqiu had also arranged for a group of people to gather and cause trouble to force Xiao Lin to take action.
However....
"You're using a group of useless people to probe. How little do you think of the Young Master of the Dragon King Palace?"
Gu Yan shook his head with a light laugh: "This won't reveal any of his abilities at all."
?
At these words.
Mei Xue's eyes under her blindfold suddenly changed.
She clenched her fists tightly.
Cold sweat dripped down her back.
What?
Gu Yan knew about her abilities?
He even knew that Xiao Lin was from the Dragon King Palace??
If before this, Mei Xue had thought Gu Yan was just an ordinary person who knew a bit about things.
Then now, she no longer thought that at all.
Gu Yan... was definitely not simple!
His strength! Very likely!! Was above hers!
After all, the main reason she couldn't sense Gu Yan's strength was either because he was an ordinary person.
Or... his strength was even greater than hers!
And if he was stronger than her, didn't that mean his cultivation level must be at least.......
Thump! Thump!
Just thinking about this, Mei Xue's heart was shocked.
No wonder Gu Yan knew about so many secret things, it turned out he wasn't simple either.
Then... wouldn't his purpose in approaching her master be even more impure?
Mei Xue didn't believe that someone of Gu Yan's strength would really approach her master just because he liked her.
Sigh... no, calm down, must stay calm.
Mei Xue took a deep breath, trying her best to keep herself calm: "Then in your opinion, what should I do?"
Hearing this, Gu Yan smiled slightly: "It's very simple."
He pointed at Mei Xue: "You take action, using your full strength."
?
"Me take action?"
Mei Xue frowned slightly, for just a Young Master of the Dragon King Palace, I actually need to take action personally?
And use full strength?
According to their normal way of thinking.
Generally, they would send some small fry to deal with Xiao Lin, and if the small fry were defeated, they would send someone a bit stronger.
If the stronger one was defeated, they would send someone even stronger.
Only when all the people they sent were defeated by Xiao Lin would it be their turn to take action personally.
Otherwise, it would really be losing face.
"That's right, don't think I'm joking."
Gu Yan's expression gradually became serious: "Xiao Lin's strength... is at the Master level."
At these words.
Boom!!!
Mei Xue's mind went blank.
Xiao Lin's strength was actually at the Master level??
How was that possible?!
It should be known that there were martial artists in this world.
Their cultivation levels from low to high were divided into
[Third-rate Martial Artist, Second-rate Martial Artist, First-rate Martial Artist, Posterior Heaven, Anterior Heaven, Master, Grand Master]
In this world, very few people could become martial artists.
There were probably no more than 10 people at the Master level in all of Huaxia.
And there hadn't been a Grand Master in ten thousand years.
It could be said that Master was already the highest level in this world!
It's no exaggeration to say that people who could become Masters were truly rare.
And Gu Yan actually said Xiao Lin was a Master?!
A 24-year-old young man??
Uh, no, judging from the situation, Gu Yan might be a Master too.
What's going on, have Masters become so cheap now?
"No wonder, no wonder....."
After the shock, Mei Xue muttered to herself, no wonder when she checked Xiao Lin's cultivation level, she could only sense the aura of a First-rate Martial Artist.
She had been wondering how such a person could become the next heir of the Dragon King Palace?
It turned out he had hidden his true cultivation level.
In that case.....
"Alright, I understand."
Mei Xue nodded solemnly. If she was facing someone who had become a Master at 24 years old.
Then, she would have to go all out!
Try to probe out more of his abilities!
Seeing this, a hint of a smile also appeared in Gu Yan's eyes.
When Xiao Lin first appeared, he already had the standard of peak early-stage Master.
His strength was incredibly powerful.
Gu Yan naturally hadn't thought of having Mei Xue, who was currently only at the early stage of Anterior Heaven, kill him.
His purpose was actually on something else.
A glint flashed in Gu Yan's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards slightly.
The name of this plan was — [The Great Battle to Weaken Xiao Lin's Cheat-like Leveling Speed!!!]
