However, they were not the first ones to "eat the crab," and there were others who had suffered even greater losses; so after wrestling with their thoughts for a while, they came to terms with it.

Qin Family's Fourth Master replied, "I will arrange for someone to handle this matter as soon as possible. Please, Mr. Lin, go back and wait for the good news."

"Good! Then I'll be waiting for your good news. However, let me make it clear that my patience is limited, so don't make me wait too long!" Lin Yifan answered and warned.

"Mr. Qin will definitely handle it as quickly as possible, please rest assured, Mr. Lin."

Having said that, Qin Family's Fourth Master left the arcade with a heart full of reluctance.

To be honest, it was the first time he had spoken to a junior with such a submissive tone, which was utterly humiliating. Additionally, being threatened by a junior was also quite unpleasant.

As the Qin Family retreated with full fury, players in the arcade were astonished, finding it unbelievable.

The mighty Qin Family, whom they considered invincible and unchallengeable in their hearts, just withdrew silently, without showing any temper, which was hard to believe.

"The idol is really awesome, seeing him today was a blast."

"Hehe! Truly worthy of being our idol! Punishing the young masters of powerful families, so satisfying."

Everyone was impressed, they had only heard rumors of how incredible Lin Yifan was, but seeing him in action today proved he truly lived up to his reputation.

Some were excited, of course, others secretly felt melancholic.

The owner of the arcade could never have guessed that the powerful Qin Family would have to speak so humbly to Lin Yifan; had he known, he would not have provoked this Demon Lord of Mayhem.

The rumors were true, there really was such a person in the Capital City. In the future, he would need to be more observant.

Today, he had incurred tremendous losses. Not only were all the game coins taken, but most of the machines were smashed or broken by the neurotic Qin Zikang, making him feel like crying out of despair.

The arcade incident ended in defeat, but Lin Yifan reaped a rich harvest, making all the time he had spent learning and competing worthwhile.

Having played almost all the games in the arcade, Lin Yifan had no more attachment to the place; thus, he distributed all the game coins to the players present, letting them enjoy themselves to the fullest.

Before leaving, he also offered a reminder, "Gaming is fun, but addiction leads to downfall."

Although these were only ten brief words, they were words of truth, hoping that the players would understand his message.

Tonight's outing was an eye-opener for Zhou Jiajia and the others; they not only discovered so many games, but also witnessed their man's top-notch performance, which was incredibly thrilling.

"Yifan! You're really amazing! I'm so in love with you!" Zhou Jiajia and the other two girls surrounded Lin Yifan, fluttering around him like three little butterflies.

As Lin Yifan's sister, Lin Yifei felt awkwardly embarrassed; her status different from Zhou Jiajia and the others, she didn't dare to be so intimate around her brother.

Quietly walking behind, she watched her brother and sisters-in-law be affectionate with each other, feeling somewhat bitter inside.

"Ah! When will I be surrounded by a Prince Charming of my own?" she sighed inwardly.

In that moment, she couldn't help but recall the handsome young man she had seen on the library rooftop that night, dressed in white and reading a book by the light of the moon on the staircase landing.

"Could it be Mu Yu?" Lin Yifei asked herself, not really sure.

Regarding this man, she couldn't say she had a favorable impression, nor did she dislike him; she wasn't sure what she felt for him.

As if in a trance, a group of five people returned to the villa, concluding the celebration for the evening.

The tales of Qin Zikang, the young master of the Qin Family, soon spread, and many scions of the great clans learned of the event. They felt pity for Zikang and then a sense of unease followed.

With such a person around, they could no longer act recklessly in Yanjing; there was a sense of being restricted, which was very unsettling.

Therefore, someone was plotting in secret to form an assassination group, with the intent to eliminate Lin Yifan and his girlfriend.

Meanwhile, the young master Qin Zikang awoke not long after returning to the Qin Family residence.

Upon waking, he immediately phoned his father to pour out his grievances.

"Kang'er, I already know everything that happened tonight; your fourth uncle wasn't wrong, you shouldn't have been so reckless, especially saying those words in front of the Demon Lord of Mayhem," Qin Zikang's father consoled.

"Father! Even you won't help me?" Qin Zikang felt somewhat in despair, this was not the outcome he wished for.

"How do you expect me to help you? Zhao Hong, your worthless friend, has had his Dantian destroyed by that youngster, and the Zhao Family doesn't even dare to utter a word. Tell me, how am I supposed to help you? Do we have to sacrifice our entire clan before you're satisfied?" Qin Zikang's father questioned irritably.

There were others who suffered even worse than their Kang'er; other clans didn't dare provoke the Demon Lord of Mayhem, so how could the Qin Family dare.

"Is it really that terrifying?" Qin Zikang was stunned.

He had imagined Zhao Hong getting slapped in public by that bastard, or even getting beaten up badly; he had thought about Zhao Hong getting his arms and legs broken, and had even considered something as cruel as gouging out his eyes—but he had never contemplated that Zhao Hong would have his Dantian destroyed by that jerk.

Anyone in the martial world knew how critical the Dantian was; without it, it was like being a cripple, forever unable to practice cultivation again.

This was a devastating blow, akin to having one's throat sealed by a sword, suffocating, unbearable.

Now, Qin Zikang no longer felt pitiable, nor did he resent his fourth uncle anymore. If Lin Yifan had really made a move tonight, he could have ended up a cripple!

"Of course it's that terrifying. Don't believe it? You could call your good friend Zhao Hong if you like, he'll tell you the truth," replied Qin Zikang's father.

This incident was absolutely true and had already spread; there was no one who was not aware of it.

"Why? Why can he act like this? Why can't we resist?" Qin Zikang had thousands of questions in his heart. Was Medicinal Saint Valley so formidable that even the most powerful backers had to show deference?

"There is no 'why,' only because he is a direct disciple of the Medicine Saint and holds a Medicine Saint Order," Qin Zikang's father answered.

Although it was a simple explanation, it was undoubtedly the most daunting.

Everyone from the Cultivation Sects of the Central Plains recognized this identity and what it represented.

"Dad! Who is the Medicine Saint? Why is he so formidable?" inquired Qin Zikang, driven by curiosity.

"He is a highly respected elder, a master of Alchemy who has cured many powerful individuals; thus, over time, no one dared to disrespect him. Additionally, he is a Great Power with boundless mana, standing at the peak of the world, unsurpassed, with only peers at his level," Qin Zikang's father answered.

This explanation was clear enough; if Qin Zikang still couldn't understand, his father didn't know what else to say.

"One of the strongest people in the world."

From his father's response, Qin Zikang extracted this crucial piece of information.
