Chapter 378: The He Family’s Visit
Lin Yun cultivated peacefully in his room while Little Ape snored away at his side. Neither of them paid any mind to where Li Tian had gone or what he was doing.
Lin Yun was still cultivating when Li Tian returned a short time later. Seeing him, Lin Yun didn’t even ask what he had been up to.
While all was calm on Lin Yun’s end, the He Family residence was in complete chaos. Just moments ago, a carriage had pulled up to their gate. Without a word, two corpses were thrown from it.
The two bodies were brazenly dumped right at the He Family’s entrance. Before the family guards could even ask a question, the carriage had already sped away.
In his study, Patriarch He stared at the two corpses before him, his expression incredibly grim. These were the very men he had sent to assassinate Lin Yun.
"Could it be... they’re all dead?" Patriarch He asked.
"Patriarch, I’m afraid things are even worse," an old steward beside him said upon hearing his words.
"Oh? Go on." Patriarch He valued the old steward’s opinion. The man was his strategist, having not only served him for most of his life but also possessing remarkable wisdom.
"Patriarch, if they were all dead, that would be for the best. The dead can’t testify. But since the other party only left two bodies, the fate of the others is unknown. If any were taken alive, this will become very difficult," the old steward explained.
"Impossible! They were trained by my He Family since childhood. Their loyalty is absolute!" Patriarch He said nervously. Indeed, it would be fine if they were all dead. But if they had been captured alive, that would be a disaster.
