<h4>Chapter 965: Chapter 972: Shi Family (Part 3)</h4>


    "Young man, do you think the Shi Family is a ce you cane and go as you please? You underestimate our Shi Family too much," the old man said coldly.


    Ling Chen thought to himself that this was not good, having provoked a master from the Shi Family. The strength of the old man before him, if not overwhelmingly high, was at least of an Earthly List level. What should he do now?


    As he pondered, Shi Su and others had already rushed over from the great hall. Seeing Ling Chen standing at the base of the wall, Shi Su’s expression changed at once, and a cold, chilling intent showed in her eyes.


    "Xiaozhu!" Shi Su shouted coldly, asking, "Did you bring him here?"


    Zhu Xiaozhu nced at Ling Chen, lowered her head, lightly bit her lip, and said, "Master, I..."


    "I asked you, did you or did you not?" Shi Su interrupted Zhu Xiaozhu coldly, reprimanding her.


    Faced with her master’s questioning, Zhu Xiaozhu hesitated for a moment, unwillingly nodded.


    p!


    Immediately, Shi Su raised her arm and gave Zhu Xiaozhu a harsh p.


    "Hmph!" Shi Su looked at Zhu Xiaozhu coldly and said, "I thought I had taken in a promising disciple, but I didn’t expect you’d dare to betray from within, helping outsiders. Xiaozhu, let me ask you, don’t you know this man is your master’s enemy?"


    Covering her reddened cheek, Zhu Xiaozhu said softly, "Master, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, and a healer’s heart is like a parent’s, these are all things you taught me before. Ling Chen’s elder brother is poisoned by a snake, in imminent danger, with only a day left to live. Even if he’s not my friend, even if it were a stranger, I would do my utmost to save them. Master, isn’t learning medicine about treating illnesses and saving people?"

    Upon hearing this, Shi Su’s expression became even more unsightly. She looked coldly at Ling Chen, then shifted her gaze to her disciple, saying coldly, "Treating illnesses and saving people is right, but you cannot save your master’s enemy. Xiaozhu, after all the effort I put into training you as a doctor, imparting all my knowledge, didn’t you consider your master’s feelings? Or do you think this man is more important than your master?"


    "No, it’s not like that." Zhu Xiaozhu quickly said, "Master, I didn’t mean that, I just..."


    "Enough!" Shi Su impatiently waved her hand and said, "I don’t want to hear your exnations. In short, I won’t give you the antidote you want. Also, listen clearly, from today onwards, our Shi Family will not help anyone rted to Ling Chen, including you, understand? If you can’t do this, then I, Shi Su, have no disciple like you."


    Seeing Shi Su speaking so definitively, Zhu Xiaozhu became anxious and hurriedly said, "Master..."


    "Xiaozhu." On the side, Liu Xi advised, "Your master is angry right now, it’s better to say less." With that, Liu Xi looked over at Ling Chen and asked, "What is he to you? A friend?"


    Zhu Xiaozhu gently nodded.


    "So he’s a friend." Liu Xi murmured to himself, his expression rxing considerably.


    "Ling Chen." Shi Su looked at Ling Chen with venomous eyes, gritting her teeth she said, "The matters that happened at the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony have yet to be settled with you, and now you dare toe to the Shi Family’s domain and act wildly. Hmph! I see you’re exceptionally bold."


    "Ms. Shi, that incident was so long ago, why hold on to it? Besides, it was your fault in the first ce, do you intend to me me? If it weren’t for your greed for credit, colluding with others to frame us, how would it havee to this? You not only refused to reflect on yourself but also med others. Honestly, I doubt your character, not knowing how you managed to teach Xiaozhu to be such a kind girl."


    "Enough nonsense." Shi Su said coldly, "Since you’vee here willingly today, don’t me me for being rude. Uncle, help me disable him."


    Hearing the master’smand, the old man standing at the wall’s top nodded, jumped directly from the top, andnded in front of Ling Chen.


    "Young man, because of you, our Shi Family’s reputation has been greatly damaged, as a member of the Shi Family, I must seek justice."


    "Justice?" Ling Chen sneered, derisively saying, "You still have the face to speak of justice, all right then, spare the high-sounding excuses, if you want to make a move, then make a move, do you think I’m afraid of the Shi Family? Your Shi Family isrge and established, but I, Ling Chen, am not someone to mess with. If I lose a single hair today in your Shi Family, I can guarantee that the Shi Family will be erased from the Martial Arts world."


    "Hmph! Such big talk." Shi Su sneered and said, "I must see whose support you have."


    "Say no more, just one Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is enough to make your Shi Family tremble."


    "Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"


    Upon hearing Ling Chen mention the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, both Shi Su and the elder couldn’t help butugh.


    "Ling Chen, are you truly unaware or pretending to be? Our Shi Family has had generations of good rtions with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and the Pavilion Master is my friend. If you intend to use the pavilion’s name to scare me, you are gravely mistaken."


    "Is that so?" Ling Chen smiled meaningfully and said, "Ms. Shi, what you said was all in the past, why don’t you give Su Mei a call now and ask what my position is in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."


    "Shi Su, stop wasting words with him, he’s just trying to buy time to escape," the old man said.


    "Uncle, you’re right, almost fell for this kid’s trick."


    Ling Chen shrugged and said, "Whether you believe it or not is your business. In any case, I’ve already warned you, don’te begging for mercyter on."


    "Boy,e on, show me what you’ve got." The old man gestured with his hand, indicating Ling Chen to make a move.


    "Since the elder wishes to learn my skills, then I shall oblige." As the words fell, Ling Chen lightly tapped his toes, and his body suddenly leaned forward. In an instant, his body seemed like a swift wind, suddenly disappearing from the original spot.


    At the same time, the old man only felt his vision blur, a fierce gust of wind rushing towards him, rapidly closing in.


    As an Earthly List master, the old man’s reaction was exceptionally quick. Seeing Ling Chen’s attack approaching, he moved as swiftly as lightning, instantly sealing off his center, preventing Ling Chen’s offensive from advancing further.


    So strong!


    Ling Chen was taken aback in his heart, quickly retreating to find another opportunity to attack.


    Ling Chen’s own strength ranked at most ninth or tenth on the Earthly List, whereas the elderly man’s strength should be at seventh on the list. Who knows what kind of martial arts this elder practiced, to stabilize his defense to such an extreme; Ling Chen’s attack couldn’t break through at all.


    "What, is this all you’ve got?" the old man coldly mocked.


    "This is just the beginning, what’s the rush," saying that, Ling Chen’s foot slipped, his body swayed, and he once again disappeared from the old man’s vision.
