The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 436: The Lin Family's Crisis!

Under Ling'er's persistent pestering, Ling Feng agreed to visit her home briefly.

From the mansion's size and its various gardens, rockeries, paintings, and porcelain, Ling Feng could tell the Lin family was wealthy. However, the layout suggested a merchant's influence rather than the majesty associated with a general's mansion.

Moyao instructed the servants to prepare refreshments. They chatted for a while, with Moyao mainly expressing her gratitude.

Ling'er, the little girl, was quite the busy body. She kept asking Ling Feng if he already knew her aunt, and then why her aunt kept blushing.

The situation became quite awkward!

Moyao shot the little girl a stern look, feeling an urge to sew her mouth shut.

Suddenly, an old butler entered, breaking the increasingly awkward atmosphere.

"Second Miss, something terrible has happened! Madam has been blocked by Master Sun at the gambling house!" The old butler, looking very anxious, urged, "Second Miss, you must go and see!"

"What?" Moyao jumped up immediately. "Damn it! How dare Sun Tianba be so arrogant?"

"I heard that Master Sun brought a gambling expert to our place and has been winning continuously for three days and nights!"

The old butler, fuming, continued, "When Madam heard about it, she went there herself to drive them away but was blocked by Master Sun's men. They’ve been standing off for half a day!"

"Outrageous!" Moyao, frowning deeply, slammed the table in anger. How dare Sun Tianba think our Lin family is defenseless!

Taking a deep breath, Moyao calmed down a bit and gave instructions to the two maids beside her. "Cui'er, Bi'er, take Ling'er back to her room and watch over her!"

"Yes!" The two maids stepped forward to take Ling'er, but the little girl clung tightly to Moyao's arm, asking, "Auntie, what's going on? Is something wrong with mommy?"

"No, of course not." Moyao squatted down and pinched Ling'er's cheek. "Your mommy is very capable. Nothing will happen to her."

"Hmph, you're lying! I don't believe you!" Ling'er started crying loudly. "I want to see mommy, wah..."

Ling Feng sighed and stood up. He walked over to Ling'er and smiled before saying, "If you don't believe your aunt, do you believe Big Brother?"

Ling'er blinked her bright eyes, looked at Ling Feng, and nodded reluctantly.

"Then let Big Brother tell you, your mommy will be fine." Ling Feng gently touched Ling'er's nose and smiled. "But it's late now. If Ling'er doesn't rest well, she won't grow up properly."

Scared by the thought of not growing up, Ling'er finally let the maids take her to rest. As she left, she asked Ling Feng, "Big Brother, will I see mommy when I wake up tomorrow?"

"You will," Ling Feng nodded, patting her head.

"Then you have to pinky swear!"

"Alright, pinky swear." Ling Feng hooked his pinky with hers, and only then did the little girl calm down.

Seeing Ling'er being taken to her room, Moyao breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Ling Feng, smiling wryly. "Mr. Ling, you always have a way."

"Let's go," Ling Feng said with a smile, leaving Moyao puzzled.

"Go?" Moyao was taken aback. "Mr. Ling, what do you mean?"

"To fulfill the promise to Ling'er." Ling Feng extended his pinky finger, saying, "Tomorrow morning, Ling'er will definitely see her mother, right?"

"Yes!" Moyao finally understood Ling Feng's intention and nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Mr. Ling."

Ling Feng pursed his lips and didn't say much more.

First, he couldn't ignore the situation once he encountered it. Second, when the old butler mentioned the word "casino," Ling Feng was almost certain that the Lin family was Lin Mochen's family.

Since Moyao was Lin Mochen's sister, naturally, her troubles were also his concerns.

As members of the East Court's sword team, he had no reason to stand by idly when Lin Mochen's family was in trouble.

...

Soon, under the guidance of the old butler, Moyao led a dozen Lin Mansion guards, along with Ling Feng, to the Lin family's casino.

As the old butler had said, the Lin family's casino was surrounded by a group of rough, fierce men, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

"Damn it, Sun Tianba is becoming more and more arrogant!" Moyao clenched her fists in anger.

"Who is this Sun Tianba?" Ling Feng asked.

"He's a backstabbing traitor!" Moyao's eyes flashed with cold light as she gritted her teeth. "More than ten years ago, Sun Tianba was trained by my father. After gaining power, he betrayed my father and has been opposing our family ever since.

"After my father passed away, Sun Tianba became even more aggressive. Now he wants to crush our casino and dominate the west city market!"

Moyao tightened her fists, "Recently, I received a letter from my sister, so I stopped my training and rushed back to help her."

"I see."

Ling Feng nodded slightly. Knowing that Sun Tianba was a despicable person, he felt no need to show mercy. I'll kill if I need to!

Moyao hurried to the casino entrance, where two bald men with demonic beast tattoos on their foreheads stood. Seeing Moyao approaching, they started jeering, "Hey, pretty girl! Give us a smile!"

"Smile your mom!" Moyao, with a fiery temper, immediately launched a palm strike at the forehead of the bald man on the left.

"Wow, feisty little girl!" The bald man, who was at the later-stage of Transformation Realm cultivation and had rich combat experience, blocked Moyao's strike. He then grabbed onto Moyao's hand while laughing and said, "Hehe, nice soft hands!"

Moyao's face turned red with anger, and she yelled, "Get lost! I am the second miss of the Lin family casino!"

"So what if you're the second miss? You’ve still got two..." The bald man's lewd eyes roamed over Moyao as he laughed wildly.

Hearing this, the surrounding lackeys and thugs also burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, second miss, let me touch you, and I'll let you in. How about that?" The bald man rubbed his hands together, grinning.

But the next moment, his laughter was cut short by a hard punch to his nose. The punch broke his nose and sent him flying as blood gushed out.
