"what!"
Ren Yingying exclaimed in surprise. Before she could react, Lin Xuan pulled her towards the door.
"What are you doing?! How dare you force your way into Plum Manor!"
The servant was terrified and hurriedly tried to slam the door shut.
However, Lin Xuan only gave it a gentle push.
"boom!"
The heavy, vermilion-lacquered gate seemed to have been struck by a charging elephant, and it swung open with a deafening roar!
Before the old servant could even utter a cry of alarm, he was forced back by the overwhelming force of the palm strike, falling to the ground with a thud, his face filled with horror.
"You...you dare to force your way into Plum Manor?!"
The old servant pointed at Lin Xuan, his voice trembling.
Lin Xuan didn't even glance at him, and continued to pull Ren Yingying along, swaggering over the threshold and into the courtyard of Plum Manor.
Ren Yingying felt his hand being held tightly, and she could feel a warm masculine scent coming from her palm, which made her heart beat faster instantly.
She tried to break free, but Lin Xuan's hands were like iron clamps, holding her firmly in place.
"Follow me."
Lin Xuan turned his head and gave her a reassuring smile.
Looking at his confident profile, Ren Yingying's panic miraculously subsided.
She bit her red lips, letting him lead her, and followed closely beside him.
"Someone has broken into Plum Manor!"
"Help! Someone come quick!"
The loud noise of the gate being forcibly broken open immediately alerted the guards inside the manor.
Accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps, twenty or thirty guards and servants armed with weapons poured out from the corridors and side rooms from all directions.
These people were all martial arts experts carefully selected by the Four Friends of Jiangnan; each of them was agile and had sharp eyes.
"Who dares to cause trouble at Plum Manor?!"
The head guard shouted and brandished his single-edged sword, lunging at Lin Xuan.
The other guards also responded, and with swords, spears, and halberds, they surrounded Lin Xuan and Ren Yingying from all sides.
Faced with such a display, Ren Yingying felt a slight tightness in her heart.
Although she was skilled in martial arts, her movements were restricted as Lin Xuan was holding one of her hands.
However, Lin Xuan seemed to be strolling leisurely, without the slightest hint of panic on his face.
He still held Ren Yingying's hand firmly with his right hand, without even pausing his steps.
Faced with the guards rushing towards him, Lin Xuan simply raised his left hand slowly.
Bring your index and middle fingers together and tap them repeatedly in the air.
"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"
With a very slight whooshing sound, invisible yet tangible finger forces, as if they had eyes, shot with unparalleled precision towards the acupoints of the guards.
This is not a fierce and domineering killing move like the Six Meridians Divine Sword, but rather an extremely sophisticated method of defeating enemies created by Lin Xuan by combining the acupoint striking techniques from the Nine Yin Manual with the remote finger force of the One Yang Finger.
"Ouch!"
"my leg!"
"I can't move!"
The dozen or so guards who rushed to the front didn't even touch Lin Xuan's clothes before they all let out a cry of surprise. As if they had been frozen in place, they stood there, and then fell to the ground like wooden stakes, unable to move anymore.
Lin Xuan acted with great restraint; he did not kill these people, but merely sealed their acupoints, temporarily rendering them unable to move.
The remaining guards were terrified at the sight and stopped in their tracks, staring in horror at the white-clad youth who resembled a demon god. They dared not take another step forward.
Ren Yingying stood beside Lin Xuan and saw everything clearly.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock.
She knew Lin Xuan was highly skilled in martial arts, but she never imagined he was so incredibly skilled!
This unparalleled style of effortlessly handling heavy tasks and disregarding all others is truly extraordinary and captivating.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from the inner courtyard.
"Who dares to be so insolent in my Plum Manor?!"
Chapter 285: Teaching Ren Woxing a Lesson
Four elderly men, surrounded by several servants, quickly walked out of the inner hall.
These four people are known as the "Four Friends of Jiangnan".
The eldest son, Huang Zhonggong, was as thin as a rake, and he held a guqin (a seven-stringed zither) in his arms;
The second son, with black and white pieces, had a stern face and held a chessboard in his hand;
The third brother, Bald Pen Elder, was short and stout, with a huge judge's pen tucked into his waistband;
The fourth brother, Dan Qingsheng, reeked of alcohol and carried a gourd of wine in his hand.
As soon as the four of them came out, they saw the guards lying on the ground, and the "divine couple" standing in the center of the courtyard with extraordinary bearing.
Huang Zhonggong frowned, his gaze sweeping over Lin Xuan and Ren Yingying.
When he saw Ren Yingying, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. She seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen her before.
After all, as the Holy Maiden, Ren Yingying rarely showed her true face. Although the Four Friends of Jiangnan were members of the Divine Cult, they had only seen her once from afar many years ago.
"Who are you two? Why have you forced your way into my Plum Manor and injured my guards?"
Huang Zhonggong stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.
Although he was furious, he dared not make a move rashly because he saw that Lin Xuan's martial arts were unfathomable.
"I've come here today at my wife's request to rescue my father-in-law. If you know what's good for you, release him and I'll leave immediately without causing you any trouble."
These words shocked everyone present.
The four friends from Jiangnan looked at each other, their faces full of confusion and astonishment.
A request from his wife? Or a cheap gift from his father-in-law?
What kind of nonsense is this?
"You must be joking, sir."
Huang Zhonggong frowned. "My Plum Manor has always been quiet and peaceful. We have never imprisoned anyone's father-in-law. Have you come to the wrong place?"
When Ren Yingying, who was standing next to Lin Xuan, heard the words "wife" and "cheap father-in-law," her fair and jade-like face instantly turned red, and even her ears burned.
She glared at Lin Xuan in shame and anger, trying to break free from his grasp, but found she couldn't.
That lecherous scoundrel! He actually dared to spout nonsense in front of so many people!
Who is his wife?!
However, in this situation, she couldn't refute Lin Xuan to his face, otherwise wouldn't she appear weak?
She could only bite her red lips, lower her head, and let Lin Xuan do whatever he wanted.
Lin Xuan laughed and raised the two hands that were tightly clasped together, showing them to the Four Friends of Jiangnan.
"I haven't come to the wrong place."
Lin Xuan pointed at Ren Yingying, who was standing beside him, filled with shame and indignation, and said loudly, "This is my wife, Ren Yingying. And my father-in-law is named Ren Woxing. I heard that he has been imprisoned under West Lake for twelve years. Today, I am going to take him away!"
"what?!"
"Ren Yingying?!"
"The Holy Maiden?!"
Upon hearing this name, the Four Friends of Jiangnan were struck dumb, their expressions changing drastically.
Although they had lived in seclusion at Plum Manor for many years, they were still members of the Sun Moon Sect. How could they not know the name of the Holy Maiden Ren Yingying?
The four of them carefully examined the woman beside Lin Xuan.
Although they had never seen Ren Yingying's true face before, her aloof and noble temperament, her imposing presence, and her stunning beauty were undeniable!
"Your subordinate pays respects to the Holy Maiden!"
The Four Friends of Jiangnan dared not be negligent and immediately bowed respectfully.
Ren Yingying took a deep breath, trying to calm the shyness and panic that Lin Xuan had stirred up.
She resumed her haughty, saintly demeanor, coldly looking at the four people kneeling on the ground.
"Please rise, esteemed four lords."
Ren Yingying's voice was clear and cold, "Since you recognize me, that makes things easier. Open the dungeon immediately and release my father!"
The Four Friends of Jiangnan stood up, their faces showing reluctance.
Huang Zhonggong cupped his hands and said:
“Holy Maiden, please forgive us. We four subordinates are here to guard Leader Ren on the orders of the Eastern Cult Leader. The Cult Leader has issued a strict order that no one may visit Leader Ren without her personal written decree and the Blackwood Token, let alone release him without authorization. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!”
"Please ask the Holy Maiden and this young master to return and report to the Eastern Cult Leader. As long as the Cult Leader gives the order, the four of us will obey and immediately release the Cult Leader."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Ren Yingying's eyes.
"Sister Dongfang is busy right now, so I won't bother her."
Ren Yingying said coldly, "Now that I'm here, I'm going to take my father away. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way. Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding our shared faith!"
"Holy Maiden, this..."
Huang Zhonggong and the others looked at each other, still unwilling to back down.
Although they revered the Holy Maiden, they were even more afraid of Dongfang Bubai's cruel methods.
If they were to release Ren Woxing without permission, the four of them would surely meet a gruesome end.
"There's no need for that."
Seeing this, Lin Xuan waved his hand impatiently.
He released Ren Yingying's hand, and with a swift movement, appeared before the Four Friends of Jiangnan like a ghost.
"careful!"
Huang Zhonggong was greatly alarmed and was about to raise his zither to meet the enemy.
However, Lin Xuan's speed was simply too fast.
His hands flitted across the four people like butterflies flitting among flowers.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Three soft sounds.
Before Hei Baizi, Tu Biweng, and Dan Qingsheng could even react, Lin Xuan struck their pressure points, leaving them frozen in place, unable to move.
Only the eldest son, Huang Zhonggong, remained.
Huang Zhonggong looked at his three brothers who had been subdued in an instant, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
He knew that the young man's martial arts skills had reached a terrifying level that he could not reach.
If the other side wanted to kill them, it would be incredibly easy.
"What...what exactly do you want?"
Huang Zhonggong asked, his voice trembling.
Lin Xuan clapped his hands and said calmly, "I told you, I'm just here to pick someone up. You, lead the way."
Huang Zhonggong sighed.
He didn't know who this self-proclaimed young man was, but seeing how superb his martial arts were, he and his three companions were no match for him.
At this point, resistance is futile.
