Unrivaled Soldier in the City

"Ahem, ahem. Shilin, darling, I was just joking with your dad. Just joking." Seeing Liu Shilin’s displeased expression, Lin Kuang spoke hurriedly. He really couldn’t afford to offend anyone right now.

At this, Liu Mu burst out laughing, causing Lin Kuang to roll his eyes.

"Kid, don’t get smug with me. Hurry up and give me a grandson or a granddaughter. Got it?" Liu Mu said with a smile, looking at Lin Kuang.

Standing to the side, Liu Shilin’s pretty face flushed red. My father will say anything... This is so embarrassing!

"Ahem, don’t worry. I guarantee you’ll be holding a grandchild by tomorrow," Lin Kuang said with a perfectly straight face.

Hearing this, Liu Mu finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Come on, let’s have a private chat," Liu Mu then said with a smile.

Lin Kuang nodded, and the two went to the study alone, sitting down face to face.

At this point, Liu Mu’s expression turned solemn; he was no longer the laughing, joking man from moments before. Seeing this, Lin Kuang’s face also grew serious. When Liu Mu looked like this, Lin Kuang knew something serious was about to be discussed.

"Lin Kuang, the situation is very serious," Liu Mu began, his tone grave. "The Demon Sect is far more powerful than you imagine. You must be especially careful on this upcoming treasure hunt, as the Demon Sect will undoubtedly make a move against you."

Hearing this, Lin Kuang was slightly stunned. He hadn’t expected Liu Mu to know they were going on a treasure hunt. This man is incredibly well-informed.

"Yes, I’ll be careful. Now that the Seal on the Nameless Sword has been broken, its help has raised my strength by another level. I’m confident I can take down any Martial Artist at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top," Lin Kuang said earnestly.

Liu Mu nodded. "I’m aware of that. But you need to understand that even with the Nameless Sword, you can only kill Martial Artists at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. In front of true masters, that level is nothing. A master of the Five Energies Towards The Origin can easily annihilate them. What’s more, the Demon Sect is mobilizing the vast majority of their Five Energies Towards The Origin masters for this. Those at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top will be nothing more than cannon fodder."

Lin Kuang’s expression tightened. Experts at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top are just cannon fodder? That’s shocking!

"Everything I’m saying is true. This treasure is something that both our Righteous Path and the Demon Sect must fight for. It is critically important. So, you must be careful this time. Be extremely careful, or you could lose your life!" Liu Mu said seriously, his gaze filled with a stern warning.

Lin Kuang was stunned for a moment before nodding heavily. "Alright, I understand. I will be very careful."

"Good. Be extremely careful. This time, our Wumi Building will also dispatch two masters: Hai Wubian and Tian Wujing. These two Guardian Elders will take action. I will instruct them to protect you, but you must still be as cautious as possible. As for the Blood Clan, I’ll keep an eye on them for you, so you don’t need to worry. Britney won’t be in any danger. After all, if she manages to take control of the entire Blood Clan, that will be a powerful force on our side," Liu Mu explained.

Lin Kuang was slightly taken aback, then he nodded. "Alright, Old Liu, thank you so much," he said sincerely.

"Kid, you should call me Father-in-law," Liu Mu retorted, glaring at Lin Kuang for his casual address.

Lin Kuang was exasperated. "Come on, Old Liu, we’ve known each other for years. It’s hard to suddenly change what I call you."

"I don’t care if it’s hard, you have to change," Liu Mu threatened with a grin. "Otherwise, I’ll take my daughter back, and you can see what happens."

Lin Kuang felt a wave of frustration. He really has me over a barrel. I have no say in this at all!

"Fine, Father-in-law. I was wrong," Lin Kuang said helplessly.

"That’s more like it," Liu Mu said, his grin widening. "You know, kid, I never expected you to have so many beautiful women. It makes even your father-in-law quite envious."

Lin Kuang felt a pang of awkwardness. This was not a topic he could easily discuss, especially with Liu Shilin’s father.

"Alright, I won’t meddle in you young people’s affairs," Liu Mu said gruffly. "But remember to treat Shilin and Shiyu well, you hear me?"

"Father-in-law, you can rest assured on that. They are my women, and it’s my duty to treat them well," Lin Kuang replied in earnest. Although he had more than one woman, Lin Kuang believed that if a woman was his, he had to treat her right. Otherwise, what kind of man would he be?

"Good. That’s for the best. This is what I came here to tell you today. From now on, no one will dare to touch the Lin Family. As long as the Wumi Building stands, no one will dare to make a move against them," Liu Mu added.

Lin Kuang nodded in understanding. He knew better than anyone that with the Wumi Building’s backing, the Lin Family was indeed safe.

Just then, something occurred to him—the Wang Family’s sudden help.

"Old Liu—ah, no—Father-in-law, did the Wumi Building have a hand in the Wang Family suddenly helping our Lin Family?" Lin Kuang couldn’t help but ask. Besides the Wumi Building, who else could wield such power? He had naturally assumed it was them helping in secret.

Liu Mu shook his head with a smile. "That wasn’t our Wumi Building’s doing. It was someone else."

"What? Not the Wumi Building? How is that possible? Besides the Wumi Building, who else has that kind of influence?" Lin Kuang asked, finding it hard to believe.

"Oh, there is someone," Liu Mu said, smiling slyly. "Do you want to know who it is?"

Lin Kuang nodded eagerly. Of course he wanted to know; why else would he have asked?

"Alright. Call me ’Father-in-law’ a few more times. If I’m satisfied, I’ll tell you," Liu Mu teased playfully.

Lin Kuang couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Why is he still as mischievous as ever?

However, Lin Kuang gave in, since he desperately wanted to know who the mysterious benefactor was. After he had called out "Father-in-law" several more times, Liu Mu finally waved his hand in satisfaction.

"Alright, seeing how sincere you are, I’ll tell you. The one who secretly had the Wang Family help you was none other than my brother, Liu Lin. He’s also Shiyu’s dad. You could say he’s your other father-in-law," Liu Mu explained with a grin.

Lin Kuang was momentarily stunned. "My second father-in-law is that impressive?"
