Chapter 226
The only thing Lin Shunhe couldn't quite get past was how thoroughly his son had concealed his true strength.
He thought of the grand future he had so painstakingly mapped out for his family—the one he'd spent years piecing together. Given his son's actual power, the boy could have had it all with a flick of his wrist. That realization left Lin Shunhe feeling strangely deflated.
"Stop talking about your son. What about you? You hid your strength just as thoroughly! If we hadn't run into trouble today, were you planning to keep it from me forever?" Yao Shan's temper flared.
"I... I was doing it for the good of the family..." Lin Shunhe's voice dropped to a murmur.
"Then what about you?!" Lin Shunhe suddenly remembered something. He slapped the small table in the carriage and jabbed a finger toward the window, pointing at the formation of white-armored guards advancing alongside them.
The group had arrived without warning. Their three leaders were all Divine Officer-level experts—evident from the Void Force coiling around their weapons.
Three Divine Officers, one Circulation Realm expert, nine Internal Force martial artists—and the moment they appeared, every last one had dropped to their knees before Yao Shan, addressing her as the Holy Origin Law Godmother and declaring they had come to protect her on their Sect Master's orders.
The entire group had been left dumbfounded.
Nobody had any idea where this company of Divine Officers and the Circulation expert had come from. Lin Shunhe could even faintly detect a trace of death aura clinging to them.
