Chapter 307: Chapter 303: The Eight Eccentrics

At the foot of the mountain, He Ziyun tapped the ground with his legs, covering several meters in a single step, speeding like a gust of wind that left no trace behind.

Suddenly, Ling Chen saw that in the SUV following closely behind, the window rolled down, and a man stuck out half of his body, holding a bow and arrow. The bow was fully drawn, the man placed an arrow on the string, his upper body remaining motionless. No matter how much the car rocked, his upper body stayed still as he held his breath and concentrated, like an unyielding rock amidst the mountain, allowing the wind and rain to batter him without flinching.

Whoosh!

The arrow shot out, and the fast-moving He Ziyun paused slightly, looking at the man with the bow and arrow, a trace of shock flashing across his eyes.

The man shot each arrow rhythmically: draw the bow, place the arrow, inhale, concentrate, release the string, one arrow every ten seconds, no more, no less.

After a series of ten arrows, He Ziyun was getting farther and farther away from the SUV, with no possibility of catching up anymore.

Watching the three SUVs gradually disappearing from sight, He Ziyun stopped in his tracks and shook his head helplessly. Suddenly, his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He had already sustained an internal injury while sparring with the porridge girl earlier. Upon learning that Ling Chen had been captured, he disregarded his injuries and forcefully used his Inner Strength, resulting in exacerbating his injuries. At this moment, as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion immediately grew weak.

Then, the porridge girl arrived with Little Hua from behind, the little girl anxiously asked, "Master, where’s big brother?"

"He’s been taken." With that, He Ziyun turned around and walked back, picked up an arrow from the ground, weighed it in his hand, examined it, then turned to the porridge girl and said, "I know who took Ling Chen."

"Who?"

"The Eight Eccentrics, you should have heard of them."

The porridge girl nodded, "The martial arts world of Huaxia is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers; the Eight Eccentrics are among them, each possessing their unique skills. But due to their eccentric personalities, they never mix with others in the martial arts circle. Their strength is formidable, but for some reason, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion hasn’t included them in the Heaven and Earth Dragon and Tiger List."

"The Eight Eccentrics do have abilities, but each only excels in one aspect and is weak in others. Some say that if the abilities of all Eight Eccentrics were combined in one person, that person would be among the rare masters in the world. Unfortunately, the Heaven and Earth Dragon and Tiger List considers overall ability, not a single strength, which is the main reason they’re not on the list," He Ziyun explained.

Little Hua asked curiously, "Master, since they’re called the Eight Eccentrics, there should be eight people, right? But I counted just now; only seven appeared."

"Perhaps someone didn’t come." He Ziyun frowned slightly, murmuring to himself, "The Eight Eccentrics are reclusive by nature, never dealing with others; why would they suddenly strike at Ling Chen this time?"

...

Half an hour later.

At a villa located on the outskirts of East Sea City, three SUVs slowly decelerated, parking at the outdoor lot.

The car doors opened, the patterned woman and a one-armed man escorted Ling Chen down from the vehicle, following an old man into the villa.

Entering the spacious and bright living room, before Ling Chen was settled, he heard a hearty laughter descending from the staircase. Looking up, his expression changed abruptly, and he exclaimed, "It’s you!"

"Ling Chen, we meet again."

The middle-aged man in front of him was none other than Mr. Yun, whom he had met in Yangcheng, no wonder Ling Chen was so surprised. It seemed his guess was correct; the God Organization was manipulating this operation from behind.

"Mr. Yun, if you wanted to see me, a simple phone call would have sufficed. Why go to the trouble of sending so many people to capture me?"

Mr. Yun responded with an indifferent smile, "You must have already guessed my identity. If I had called you, would you have come alone? Please, have a seat. Let’s sit down and talk."

In the meantime, an old man in a Zhongshan suit stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yun, we’ve completed the task you asked us to do. Isn’t it time you kept your promise?"

"Elder Qiu, don’t be impatient. I won’t go back on my word. However, your third brother’s situation is quite complicated, and he still needs some time for treatment. Rest for now, and later I will take you to see him."

Once the seven of them left, Ling Chen looked at Mr. Yun and asked the question that had long lurked in his heart, "You’re from the God Organization, so why did you help me save Wanqing in Yangcheng?"

"With your wits, you should be able to guess the reason."

Hearing this, a thought struck Ling Chen, and he blurted out, "Could it be you’re really..."

Mr. Yun waved his hand, cutting him off, "Some things are clear in our hearts; there’s no need to say them out loud. I once tested your abilities, indeed not bad. Knowing you’re there to protect Wanqing’s safety gives me peace of mind."

"Tested my abilities? When was this?" Ling Chen was puzzled.

"One of the three who put a bounty on you was me. If I had known others were doing such things, I wouldn’t have needed to intervene. But you didn’t disappoint me, which saved me four million US Dollars."

"If Wanqing knew about your identity, how do you think she should face you?"

"That’s not your concern. Besides, I only care about her safety, not how she sees me. Ling Chen, I brought you here today mainly for two matters. First, you can stay by Wanqing’s side to protect her, but you must not harbor any improper thoughts toward her. Remember my words, no matter how your relationship with her develops, there’s no outcome for you and her. I’m not threatening you, I’m warning you, reminding you, so you don’t get too deeply entangled and unable to extricate yourselves, which will only lead to greater pain in the end."

"Why? Just because of your relationship with her, you think you can make decisions for her? Don’t forget, even if you are related by blood, in Wanqing’s eyes, you’ve always been a stranger. I believe, given her character, she wouldn’t let you control her life."

Ling Chen was very unhappy; he disliked others meddling in his personal affairs, especially matters of the heart.

"I can’t tell you the reason; it’s a matter of the Nanrong Family, and you’re an outsider; you don’t need to know. Just keep my words in mind, don’t cross my bottom line, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what?" Ling Chen spoke mockingly. "Kill me?"

Mr. Yun shook his head, "I won’t kill you, but I have a hundred ways to make living worse than death for you, so you’d better heed my advice and not act recklessly."

"Sorry, I don’t accept your advice. I have my own principles in life and don’t need someone else dictating them. If you’re really capable, then go and tell Wanqing yourself," Ling Chen was unyielding.

Hearing this, Mr. Yun did not get angry; his expression remained calm.

"I’ve made myself clear; what you do is up to you. Now, let’s talk about the second matter."
