466: My frail, paralyzed, helpless daughter-in-law~~~~

Five minutes ago, Lin Xuan clutched the small note his wife had left him, his brows furrowed into a deep ' river' (river) character.

The message on the note was simple, just a short sentence.

【Three days from now, I will surely return. My husband, do not worry for me.】

Lin Xuan stared blankly at the fifteen delicate characters, feeling a bit stunned.

Today's events were completely unexpected.

He had only intended to come and join the fun, to watch his brother-in-law's 'heroic' display, but who would have thought... he'd end up losing his own wife?!

Even at this very moment, Lin Xuan was still in a state of bewilderment.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Who knocked me out just now?

Where is my wife?

Was she taken away by the mysterious person who knocked him out?

Is she safe now?

Lin Xuan's mind was a chaotic mess, buzzing as if it were about to split open.

According to the original plot, it didn't seem like any other significant forces were supposed to appear today?

As long as he stayed obediently indoors and didn't go out, after Jiang Yangping finished hunting down the mainstays of other sects, the protagonist would naturally come to save the day and show off... But what was this sudden turn of events?

Qingge was just a frail and ordinary person, unable even to walk independently. There was no reason for her to be targeted, was there?

Was it because of her beauty?

Lin Xuan was utterly baffled.

This unexpected situation caught him off guard, and his sense of crisis instantly surged.

It was only now that Lin Xuan truly realized the terrifying nature of the butterfly effect; many unknown plot developments were quietly deviating from his understanding.

"It seems I can't rely too much on plot foresight anymore."

"I also need to change my plan and exchange for some cultivation to protect myself."

Lin Xuan had initially focused on accumulating Tie Tie Mirror points to achieve the invincible cultivation of an Immortal Emperor as soon as possible, so he had essentially never individually strengthened his own martial power.

He believed that even relying solely on the system skill [Tie Tie Mirror] to copy the protagonist's power and gain temporary Grandmaster experience cards would be enough for him to roam the world unhindered.

In fact, that was true.

But all of this had a prerequisite: the skill could only be activated successfully when he had conscious awareness.

Otherwise, Lin Xuan was just a mortal who didn't cultivate martial arts.

When he wasn't activating the [Tie Tie Mirror] skill, dealing with ordinary people wasn't a problem, but against some powerful martial artists, he would be at a disadvantage.

For example, this unforeseen sudden situation today... he lost consciousness before he even had a chance to activate his skill, becoming a helpless lamb waiting to be slaughtered... Thinking of this.

Lin Xuan's forehead broke out in a sweat, his heart pounded, and the more he thought about it, the more he was filled with lingering fear.

Fortunately, the person who ambushed him while he was unconscious had no ill intentions; otherwise, his life or death would have been at their whim.

To prevent a similar crisis from happening again.

Lin Xuan decided to find some time to first select a [Product] from the system to enhance his martial power and ensure his personal safety.

Following this, he carefully examined the message Su Qingge had left.

Seeing the last stroke of the delicate handwriting heavily ticked with a √ at the end, he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Previously, when he and Su Qingge were chatting, they had, in a joking manner, agreed upon some special 'secret codes' that only the two of them could understand.

For example, this final tick mark √ indicated that Su Qingge had left this message out of her own free will, and not under coercion.

Even so, Lin Xuan couldn't help but worry a little.

My frail, half-paralyzed, and helpless wife~~~~

She is so innocent and weak; what if she gets bullied by other bad people without him by her side?

Thinking this, Lin Xuan felt completely unsettled, a wave of panic washing over him.

The only thing worth celebrating was that he had previously, with a heavy heart, spent 20,000 Tie Tie Mirror points to exchange for two high-grade protective amulets for himself and Su Qingge.

【Details can be found in Chapter 21】

According to the system's description!

The jade pendant could block a fatal blow for the wearer, essentially giving them an extra life.

As the owner of the jade pendant, Lin Xuan could retrieve the high-grade protective amulet into his system inventory at any time.

And in his perception, the jade pendant on the girl had not yet been triggered.

This indicated that, at least for now, Su Qingge was not in life-threatening danger, and combined with the message she had actively left... Lin Xuan's anxious heart finally relaxed a bit, and his restless emotions also eased considerably.

He just couldn't understand the reason for Su Qingge's quiet departure... "Xiao Xuan? What... what's going on?"

"Holy crap! Oh my goodness! What are those people outside doing?"

"Isn't that Sixth Master? Why does he suddenly seem like a different person, and he's chasing and killing those martial artists everywhere?"

"Ugh~~~ I'm going to throw up, it's too bloody and brutal! It's a miracle that Sixth Master is still alive today!"

"..."

As Lin Xuan was deep in thought, the others in the room gradually clutched their dizzy heads and climbed up from the floor.

When they looked through the floor-to-ceiling window and understood the grim situation, everyone was dumbfounded, terrified, disbelieving, and filled with unease... No one had expected that after being inexplicably knocked out and then waking up from unconsciousness, Jiang Yangping, who had previously been the reliance of the Tang and Huo Families, had turned into a bloodthirsty demon???

Although everyone had some 'acquaintance' with Jiang Yangping before.

But no one could guarantee that Jiang Yangping, in his state of cultivation deviation, wouldn't turn on them and kill them without recognizing anyone!

As the saying goes:

Each sweeps the snow from their own door, and ignores the frost on others' tiles.

For safety's sake, it was better to escape this troublesome place as soon as possible.

With the mentality of 'every man for himself in times of trouble,' Huo Qichen made a decisive decision. Citing reasons like 'more people make it easier for Jiang Yangping to target them,' he quickly left with Daoist He, Butler Fu, and other Huo Family members.

Meanwhile, Tang Guoan and the others, after their initial fright, gradually calmed down.

They remembered Lin Xuan's inner voice premonition from earlier, knowing that as long as they stayed in the room and didn't go anywhere, they could safely get through the crisis.

Therefore, the Tang Family decided they wouldn't take half a step out of the room, even if it meant death.

When they saw Tang Hao walking out, looking utterly distraught, and clamoring to confront his master face-to-face to ask why he had changed so much... The prepared Tang Family members exchanged glances and nodded in unspoken agreement.

"Watch closely, this is how Entanglement Power is used!"

At this moment, the four emotional Entanglement Powers hidden in the Tang Family's genetic bloodline awakened once more... Mother's Entanglement!

Father's Entanglement!

Brother's Entanglement!

Sister's Entanglement!
