70: Chapter 7: Siblings Reunited, The Powerful Lingyun

"Exactly. Smart of you, Young Master Qin. That fellow Zhou Bai won a fight he shouldn't have, so he must pay the price. Rest assured, I handled this extremely discreetly; no one will ever find out!"

Ling Xiao slowly raised his head, his voice icy, his eyes brimming with a profound bloody light.

"That fellow Zhou Bai ruined us. I won't let him get away with it!"

"You idiot! If you want to court death, don't drag me into it!"

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Qin Hao's face turned ashen, and he immediately cursed in anger.

After speaking, Qin Hao, still muttering curses, tried to leave the room.

BANG!!!

However, the moment Qin Hao turned around, the room's window glass suddenly shattered. An overwhelmingly terrifying aura instantly swept in, completely filling the entire room.

The immense pressure suppressed Qin Hao, rendering him completely immobile.

Nevertheless, he strained to lift his head and looked towards the broken window.

He saw the glass was completely shattered, and a sleek, streamlined airship had parked inside the room.

Then, a stunningly beautiful woman with a high ponytail, an aloof temperament, and exquisite features descended from the airship.

The woman wore black leather, her figure graceful. Yet, her captivating eyes were filled with an unyielding coldness that sent chills down one's spine.

Beside the woman were two people familiar to Qin Hao: Zhou Bai and Zhao Shiyu.

"Zhou... Zhou Lingyun..."

Seeing the stunning woman descend from the airship, Qin Hao's vision went dark, feeling as if the sky had collapsed.

"How dare you! Trespassing like this..."

Not far away, Ling Xiao, seeing the intruders who had smashed through the window, paled slightly and hurriedly shouted in rage.

SHWING!!!!

However, before Ling Xiao could finish, a Purple Spiritual Light rapidly coalesced into a spear and shot directly towards him.

The purple spear, carrying a domineering force, pierced through all of Ling Xiao's defenses, impaling his abdomen and pinning him to the room's wall.

After pinning Ling Xiao, Zhou Lingyun's gaze turned to Qin Hao in the room.

Seeing Zhou Lingyun's deathly stare, Qin Hao's scalp tingled with fear. Trembling, he quickly said,

"If I say this has nothing to do with me, would you believe me?"

Zhou Lingyun glanced indifferently at Qin Hao, waved her right hand, and the Purple Spiritual Light transformed into a chain, binding Qin Hao tightly.

"Who dares harm the prodigy of our Ling Family!"

At that moment, the room door was smashed open. A middle-aged man in blue, leading a group of powerful Ling Family members, charged into the room, their eyes coldly fixed on Zhou Lingyun and the others by the airship.

"These two lowlifes conspired to harm the immediate family of my Evil Suppression Department member. Their crime deserves death ten thousand times over. Bring out someone from your Ling Family who can actually speak with authority!"

Zhou Lingyun didn't even lift her eyelids, addressing the blue-clad man.

Hearing Zhou Lingyun's words, the blue-clad man's face stiffened instantly.

Then, still not taking action, the blue-clad man took out his phone and began contacting the higher-ups of the Ling Family.

Conspiring to harm the immediate family of an Evil Suppression Department member—the implications of this were far too great.

"You, have your family come here too!"

Zhou Lingyun then looked at Qin Hao nearby and said calmly.

Hearing this, Qin Hao clenched his teeth, glaring fiercely at Ling Xiao, who was pinned to the wall not far away.

It was all this fool's fault. Dealing with Zhou Bai on his own was one thing.

But he had to invite me here, and now we're caught red-handed together in the same room.

This was like mud stuck in the crotch—even if it's not *it*, it looks like *it*.

"Hmm? Unwilling?"

Seeing Qin Hao remain inactive, Zhou Lingyun frowned and spoke again. Simultaneously, a purple dagger materialized and hovered before Qin Hao.

"Zhou... Sister Zhou, I'm tied up! Even if I wanted to contact them, I can't!"

Bound like a rice dumpling, Qin Hao was drenched in sweat as he hurriedly explained.

"Oh."

Zhou Lingyun acknowledged, then slightly loosened the purple chain binding Qin Hao.

Once freed, Qin Hao immediately grabbed his phone and started contacting his Qin Family members, terrified that any delay would result in him being impaled.

He knew all too well that Zhou Lingyun was fully capable of doing such a thing.

"Sis, these two are from the Ling Family and Qin Family..."

Seeing his sister act so forcefully, Zhou Bai spoke with some concern.

"A Bai, don't worry. Leave everything to me!"

Zhou Lingyun said to Zhou Bai, her expression softening.

Hearing this, Zhou Bai nodded. Since his sister dared to act, she surely had her own plans.

"You've done very well, actually winning the champion of the dawn battle. What a huge surprise you've given me!"

Zhou Lingyun then said to Zhou Bai with an admiring tone.

Zhou Lingyun had also participated in the Battle of the Dawn, so she naturally knew how fierce the competition was.

In the Battle of the Dawn two years ago, Zhou Lingyun had barely made it into the top hundred.

Zhou Bai had entered a Vocational College. When Zhou Lingyun found out, although she wasn't entirely pleased, she respected his choice and didn't interfere.

Moreover, Zhou Bai's wish to expand their family lineage had genuinely moved Zhou Lingyun.

She was wholly devoted to pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts and naturally wouldn't consider such matters herself.

But Zhou Bai had taken on the future of their Zhou Family, and unexpectedly, he hadn't fallen behind on the martial path. Instead, he remained incredibly formidable.

"It was just good luck, that's all!"

Zhou Bai scratched his head and smiled.

"Luck is part of one's strength. Becoming the champion of the dawn battle means you are the undisputed top among the new generation!"

Zhou Lingyun continued.

"Even if you are the champion of the dawn battle, you can't bully Shiyu!"

Then, Zhou Lingyun affectionately pulled Zhao Shiyu to her side, speaking solemnly to Zhou Bai.

Although Zhou Lingyun wasn't by Zhou Bai's side, she had clearly been keeping an eye on him.

She was also very satisfied with Zhao Shiyu.

"Don't worry, Sis. I definitely won't!"

Zhou Bai smiled slightly.

"Shiyu, if Zhou Bai ever bullies you in the future, come find me. I'll help you teach him a lesson!"

Zhou Lingyun then said to Zhao Shiyu beside her.

"He's very good to me; he wouldn't bully me,"

Zhao Shiyu's face flushed slightly as she replied softly.

"I came in a hurry this time and didn't prepare a gift. Please accept this Bracelet."

Zhou Lingyun took out an ancient-looking Bracelet and handed it to Zhao Shiyu.

The Bracelet was adorned with profound and mysterious Dao patterns, its material smooth and lustrous, clearly an extremely precious treasure.

Zhao Shiyu didn't speak but looked at Zhou Bai.

"Shiyu, you should accept it,"

Zhou Bai said to Zhao Shiyu with a smile.

"Thank you, Sister!"

Zhao Shiyu then accepted the Bracelet.

"A Bai, do you have any ideas about the Custom S-grade Weapon from Tianbing Tower?"

Next, as if remembering something, Zhou Lingyun asked Zhou Bai.

"Sis, I'm still considering it,"

Zhou Bai replied.

"I actually have a good suggestion."

"Sis, tell me..."

"heaven-escaping shuttle."
