CHAPTER 1142 PROVOCATION

The moment he saw He Linbei and Yan Chinan standing there, Jiang Ning realized what happened. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"Where is he?"

"He's gone," said Yan Chinan, "It was His Lordship's best agent, Yan Tang."

Jiang Ning didn't care who it was. Instead, he ran quickly to the couch. Lin Yuzhen had woken up because Jiang Ning had crashed in so loudly. She was rubbing her eyes and looking sleepy.

"Why am I on the couch?" asked Lin Yuzhen as she yawned. "Who are they?"

"Two elders from the Jiang family," said Jiang Ning casually.

Now that Lin Yuzhen was fine, he felt a wave of relief surging through him. But that fury gradually intensified into a fierce murderous aura!

His Lordship was bold!

He had the guts to touch Lin Yuzhen!

She was just an innocent girl with no vendetta against Hidden Sect.

"Now that his plans for the north have been foiled, His Lordship won't take it lying down," said He Linbei. "His craze for the technique manual is far deeper than you think. His Lordship is determined to obtain them all, including the pages that you possess."

"Why did he want to touch Yuzhen?" asked Jiang Ning with a murderous look in his eyes.

"He probably wants to warn you," said Yan Chinan. "Hidden Sect has no boundaries, and neither does His Lordship. The Jiang residence is the safest place in the north right now. Do you get my drift, Jiang Ning?"

Jiang Ning didn't say a word. He turned to look at Lin Yuzhen.

If he were alone, be it Agent 1 or His Lordship, he would give chase and kill him the moment he located him!

But Lin Yuzhen was with him now. She occupied the most important part of his heart and also the most fragile area.

He wouldn't allow any accident to befall her.

“What happened?"

Lin Yuzhen could tell from their conversation that something was wrong.

"Nothing,” replied Jiang Ning as he shook his head. "They just want to bring you to stay over at the Jiang house. This hotel can't compete with the Jiang residence."

Lin Yuzhen turned to look at He Linbei and Yan Chinan. They were here to pick her up?

"What about you?' asked Lin Yuzhen as she turned her head to look at Jiang Ning.

She would stay wherever Jiang Ning did.

"I'll go back too."

When He Linbei and Yan Chinan heard Jiang Ning, they looked at each other with surprise flashing across their eyes.

They thought to themselves that Lin Yuzhen certainly was special enough to make someone as stubborn as Jiang Ning give in.

"Let's go," said Jiang Ning as he looked at Lin Yuzhen. 'Til send you to the Jiang house."

He was worried. Even with He Linbei and Yan Chinan around, His Lordship was still insane enough to touch Lin Yuzhen. Jiang Ning genuinely wanted to skin him alive!

Xue Ning was beside herself with joy when Jiang Ning came with Lin Yuzhen to the house. She quickly instructed the servants to prepare the room for Lin Yuzhen to rest.

It was Jiang Ning's room to begin with.

"Are you going out?"

Lin Yuzhen was worried when she saw Jiang Ning turn to go out.

"Yup, just a little something to handle." Jiang Ning wouldn't let off anyone who wanted to touch Lin Yuzhen!

Jiang Daoran could detect the murderous look hidden in Jiang Ning's eyes!

"Don't worry. Yuzhen is at home and nothing will happen to her,” said Jiang Daoran sternly.

Jiang Ning nodded. Then he glanced at Jiang Daoran and said, "Nothing must happen to you two either."

Then he turned and leave.

He Linbei sighed as he watched Jiang Ning leave.

"What is His Lordship up to? Is he trying to provoke Jiang Ning? Or is there something else he's after?"

Jiang Ning's only weakness was Lin Yuzhen. If he wanted to take out Jiang Ning, he would probably have to do it through Lin Yuzhen. It seemed that they were right to say he was completely unscrupulous.

"Whatever it is, it can't be good," said Yan Chinan.

They knew full well what His Lordship was capable of. He would resort to any tactics to get what he wanted. For over two decades, countless people from the martial arts circle had perished at His Lordship's hand...
