In the Spirit Gathering Pool, Gu Nan, with her eyes closed, was enjoying the nourishment of the vast spiritual energy within.
"Your Highness, the second young master of the Lin family heard that the martial arts tournament is about to begin, and specially presented you with a piece of five-hundred-year-old Fu Iron."
The personal maid came to Gu Nan's side, bowed her head, held a piece of iron above her head with both hands, and reported to Gu Nan in a low voice.
Gu Nan glanced at the maid and casually said:
"Put it down, then tell Young Master Lin that there's a blond man at the Flying Tiger Restaurant in the west of the city. He says he's my suitor and he's with several henchmen with hair of various colors. Tell him to deal with him when he has time."
"Yes, Your Highness. Then I will take my leave." The maid bowed her head to Gu Nan and then left the palace.
The Lin family: the elder brother of the second young master is the General of the Western Garrison stationed on the border of the empire, while the father is the Minister of War of the imperial court. Since the second young master of the Lin family has disliked cultivation since childhood, his father has allowed him to run wild in the capital. Some commoners have no say anything because of his father and brother's status.
Over time, Lin Er Gongzi earned the title of the top villain among the common people.
Lin Family
After hearing what the maid sent by Gu Nan had to say, Young Master Lin instructed the steward to respectfully send the maid back.
Besides his usual mischievous behavior in the capital, Young Master Lin is also a devoted suitor of Gu Nan—in simpler terms, a sycophant. Dealing with a sycophant requires no promises or rewards; a single word is enough for him to selflessly devote himself to his beloved.
"Iron Curtain, take your men and come with me to the Flying Tiger Restaurant to deal with that arrogant brat and his men," Young Master Lin said to Iron Curtain, who was wearing light armor beside him.
Iron Curtain was a personal bodyguard arranged by Lin's father to protect him. Iron Curtain was a mid-stage martial arts master in the third realm. Iron Curtain's main purpose was to protect him from being killed by some unsuspecting righteous martial arts master when he committed evil deeds in the city.
"Yes, young master, I'll go arrange things with my men right away." After saying that, Tie Mu turned and left to summon the Lin family guards.
Young Master Lin boarded the luxurious carriage that was waiting outside the Lin residence.
Behind the carriage were the Iron Curtain and the Lin family guards. The surrounding civilians, seeing this display of power, guessed that some fool had probably angered Young Master Lin again.
In a men's room at the Flying Tiger Restaurant, Jack and his group were discussing the arrangements for tomorrow's martial arts tournament.
"Tomorrow, Jack will fight, while I will remain in the shadows. If things go wrong, I can intervene at any time. Jack has a teleportation mark on him that I have set up. If anything happens that we cannot resist, Jack and I will teleport back to the restaurant where you are. Do you all understand?"
Ms. Cheng looked at the crowd surrounding her and said.
At this point, the blond-haired man raised a question.
"Why is Sister Cheng being so cautious? Isn't the capital the safest place in the empire? And how could anyone deliberately break the rules of such an important event as the Martial Arts Tournament?"
Jack looked at the usually carefree blond guy: "You're still young, you don't know how dangerous the world is. After all, doesn't your country have a proverb that says 'Be careful, or you'll never have to worry about anything'?"
Jack stroked the blond-haired man's head and said.
"Okay, okay, I'm 19 years old now, stop treating me like a child." Although that's what the blond guy said, he actually enjoyed the feeling of Jack patting his head.
Everyone laughed as they looked at Jack and the blond guy, and the room was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere again.
Everyone was getting hungry, so they decided to go downstairs to grab a quick bite before returning to their rooms to plan their tactics.
Just as the reincarnators stepped out of the room and headed down the stairs, they saw Young Master Lin, who was accompanied by a group of guards in uniform and carrying long swords. Young Master Lin looked up and saw Jack and his group on the stairs.
"Golden hair, multicolored hair, it's them, Iron Curtain!" The moment Young Master Lin saw this group of people, he knew they were his target. After all, golden hair was very rare in the Empire, let alone subordinates with hair of various colors.
"Yes, young master." Tie Mu stepped forward and blocked Young Master Lin's way.
Young Master Lin looked at the four women among the reincarnators, a slight smile playing on his lips. He spoke loudly to the crowd on the stairs.
"All the men except the blond one, just kill yourselves on the spot. The women, obediently come back to the manor with me. That way, you can at least have a complete corpse!"
"Sir, we have no grudge against you. Have you come to the wrong person?" the blond-haired man asked, looking speechless.
Seeing that this group of people still didn't take action to kill themselves, the arrogant young master Lin directly attacked the iron curtain in front of him.
"Iron Curtain, bring me that golden boy. Kill the rest of the men, leave the women alive!"
After hearing what Young Master Lin said, Iron Curtain charged straight at Jack.
The flying Iron Curtain raised its fist and swung it at Jack's face.
Jack easily caught Iron Curtain's full-force punch and threw him back at Young Master Lin's feet.
“Friend, is there some misunderstanding between us?” Jack asked, looking at the gloomy-faced Young Master Lin.
When Jack saw that Young Master Lin did not answer his question, he rushed towards Young Master Lin.
The guards around Young Master Lin hurriedly stepped in front of Jack, but these guards, who were all at the first level, were no match for the impact of Jack's massive body.
Instantly, all of Young Master Lin's guards were knocked to the ground. Jack stood in front of Young Master Lin, forcefully grabbing his neck and questioning him.
"Friend, we've never met before, have we? Why do you seem so intent on killing me?"
Young Master Lin kept slapping Jack's arms that were gripping his neck, and said intermittently.
"My...my father, Lin...Lin Tian, you can't kill me!"
