"What safety concerns could there be? I thought the trouble from a few days ago had already passed. Who would endlessly seek out trouble with our Ling family!" Ling Shuya said, "Never mind, I won't wait any longer, Dad. Have Uncle Weei send me back."

"What's the hurry? Can't you just stay here with Dad for a while?" Ling Hengyu put down his tablet and looked at his only treasure with a face full of affection!

Ling Shuya immediately said with a grin, "Of course not, Dad is the most important, but, I told Yuyan and the others I would come over for a meal and then head back quickly. One can't be unreliable, right? That's what you've taught me since I was young!"

Ling Hengyu heard his daughter's words and instantly wore a bitter smile. Checking the time, it was already past midnight. But why hadn't Ye Xiao come back yet?

Earlier on the phone, Ye Xiao hadn't specified what had caused the delay. Thus, Ling Hengyu didn't know how to explain the situation to his daughter.

"Let's wait another half hour. I'll personally send you back!" Ling Hengyu said to Ling Shuya with a smile!

Upon hearing what Ling Hengyu said, Ling Shuya felt a bit displeased, but since her father had put it that way, refusing to stay would seem too disrespectful.

"Alright, but just half an hour!" After Ling Shuya spoke, she sat down on the sofa and started playing Flappy Bird on her phone.

Ling Hengyu sighed deeply as he watched his only daughter. How wonderful it would be if the affairs of adults didn't involve the children. His greatest hope was for his daughter to live happily every day, and he definitely didn't want any crisis to befall her. Otherwise, how could he ever face her!

Ling Hengyu sighed again and looked back at his tablet.

Although Ling Shuya had pulled out her phone, she was highly aware of every movement of her father. She didn't understand why her father seemed so helpless. Wasn't her father just a businessman?

There were many things that Ling Shuya couldn't figure out no matter how hard she tried, but these were questions she felt uncomfortable asking her father, so she buried them in her heart.

Time flew by quickly, and twenty minutes had already passed in the blink of an eye!

Ling Shuya checked the time on her phone; there were still about ten more minutes. She looked up at Ling Hengyu and saw him still engrossed in reading the news.

Weei Jie stood at the edge of the living room like a stone statue.

Ling Shuya looked at Weei Jie, and he looked back at her. Seeing Ling Shuya looking at him, Weei Jie gave a slight smile but remained silent.

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly came from outside!

"Who's there?"

A sharp voice rang out as Ling Shuya, Ling Hengyu, and Weei Jie all immediately looked up toward the villa's entrance.

Weei Jie was the first to quickly approach the entrance. When he reached the door, he turned to look at Ling Hengyu and said, "Mr. Ling, you go to the study first."

Ling Hengyu remained seated on the sofa, unmoving, and gave Weei Jie a meaningful glance.

Understanding, Weei Jie said no more, but he did open the door a bit before stepping out of the villa!

When Weei Jie exited the villa, he saw six or seven people standing at the entrance, both men and women.

Weei Jie was momentarily stunned. The Xuan Rank experts that Ling Hengyu had invited were also safeguarding the villa!

"Who are these people?" Weei Jie immediately asked the several Xuan Rank martial artist guards!

"We're not sure. However, based on their aura, they don't seem to be very strong martial artists. Yet, strangely enough, just a few of them would dare to trouble Mr. Ling," said one of the guards with a contemptuous smile.

Weei Jie looked at the individuals and was startled upon a closer inspection.

Weei Jie recognized the members of the Seven-colored Lamp, having seen them before at the Yu Sha cold storage. At the time, Wang Luoxin was seriously injured, but now, they had actually come here!

"How could it be them!" Weei Jie looked at the members of the Seven-colored Lamp with some confusion.

"Mr. Weei, you know them?" asked the guards, puzzled.

Weei Jie shook his head and said, "Not exactly. If possible, capture a live one."

Although Weei Jie knew these people had been with Ye Xiao before, he wasn't aware that they were the famed members of the Seven-colored Lamp. If Weei Jie had known these were members of the Seven-colored Lamp, he would never have mentioned capturing them alive. They couldn't possibly capture a member of the Seven-colored Lamp!

Weei Jie had intended to supervise the battle, but when he saw Wang Luoxin leading the Seven-colored Lamp, he immediately turned around and went back inside the villa.

"Uncle Weei, who is it?" Seeing Weei Jie return, Ling Shuya immediately asked nervously.

Weei Jie glanced at Ling Shuya, then looked at Ling Hengyu and said, "Mr. Ling, I've seen these people before, and they were with Ye Xiao."

"Are these people friends?" Ling Hengyu asked.

After all, since they had been with Ye Xiao, they shouldn't be enemies, in Ling Hengyu's view.

However, Weei Jie said, "Not necessarily friends, they come with ill intent!"

Ling Hengyu heard Weei Jie's words and was immediately somewhat confused.

"Why isn't it a friend if he is with Ye Xiao?"

Ling Hengyu had a lot of trust in Ye Xiao, he fully believed that Ye Xiao would never harm the Ling family.

"What exactly is going on?" Ling Shuya couldn't help but ask!

However, just at this moment, the sounds of fighting erupted outside, along with shocking blast noises!

Weei Jie said, "Their strength isn't very strong, I think it won't be long before our people can capture them alive!"

"So they pose no threat!" Ling Shuya said, "If they're so weak, why are they even here?"

Ling Shuya did not go out. If she went out now, she would definitely recognize Wang Luoxin.

Ling Hengyu did not speak, thinking of Ye Xiao's earlier advice to him and that he should keep Ling Shuya here, could this be what Ye Xiao intended? But why?

Although Ling Hengyu was experienced, he couldn't figure out the reason now!

Ling Hengyu, Ling Shuya, and Weei Jie walked to the edge of the window to look out. They were better off not looking because what they saw left them stunned.

They saw outside, Ling Hengyu's guards were all enveloped by a dense array of colors, and seven people were in midair, seemingly having already taken control of those guards.

"Array Formation!" Ling Hengyu, who had seen much of the world, recognized at a glance that this was an array!

At the same time, Weei Jie also realized and said, equally astonished, "Could these seven people be members of the Seven-Colored Lamp?"

"Seven-Colored Dragon Suppressing Formation!" Ling Hengyu looked at the beautifully complex array and also felt a surge of shock in his heart!

He was now certain that this was the Seven-Colored Dragon Suppressing Formation of the Seven-Colored Lamp.

The Seven-Colored Lamp had indeed been active in Chu City recently. However, what he hadn't expected was that the Seven-Colored Lamp's target would be them.

Ling Hengyu's guards numbered more than ten, all of them high-level martial artists around Mid-stage Xuan Rank. The Seven-Colored Dragon Suppressing Formation was indeed strong, but it would still take a while to kill them all!

"Mr. Ling, you and Miss Ling should leave first. I'll cover the rear!" said Weei Jie, his face very serious as he looked at Ling Hengyu.

"No way, leaving you here alone? I, Ling Hengyu, can't do such a thing. Yaya, you go. Daddy promises to survive."

Ling Shuya wasn't a fool; how could she not see the severity of the situation?

"Dad, I can't leave. I'm your daughter. How can I leave at such a critical moment? If I left, would I still be a human daughter?" Ling Shuya said firmly, "I definitely won't go!"

Ling Hengyu felt a warm surge in his heart upon hearing Ling Shuya's words; the love he held for this daughter was indeed worth it.

But how could Ling Hengyu allow his daughter to be threatened with him?

Ling Hengyu wanted to persuade Ling Shuya further, but at that moment, a voice silenced everyone!

"Do you really think you can leave?"

"Hmm?" When that voice came through, Ling Hengyu, Ling Shuya, and Weei Jie all looked towards the direction the voice had come from.

They saw a young man sitting on the couch with a cold smile, having appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

"Wu Xinyuan!" Ling Hengyu recognized at a glance, it was Wu Xinyuan, who almost killed him last time.

"Chairman Ling, you have such a good memory to still remember me!" Wu Xinyuan's face revealed a smug smile at this moment!

"Are the people outside brought by you?" Ling Hengyu watched Wu Xinyuan with a cold look.

"You're so smart, no wonder you're doing so well in business. Last time I didn't kill you was because of the appearance of Ye Xiao, now Ye Xiao isn't in Minghai City, to be honest, I hired the Seven-Colored Lamp to deal with Ye Xiao, but now Ye Xiao's not here, then let them kill your Xuan Rank martial artist guards," said Wu Xinyuan with pride, "Although my leg is injured now, killing you all should still be no problem."

Wu Xinyuan's strength was known to Ling Hengyu and Weei Jie since they had once crossed hands with him.

Indeed, Wu Xinyuan had a steel bar pierce his thigh last time. But it seems that the injury must not have been particularly severe. Otherwise, Wu Xinyuan couldn't have come so quickly and even managed to get to the living room's sofa without anyone noticing!

Ling Hengyu shielded Ling Shuya behind him and, with a cold look towards the smug Wu Xinyuan, said, "We won't be slaughtered at will!"

"Of course I understand that, and I will also give you a way out so it isn't said that I'm inhumane," Wu Xinyuan gazed at Ling Hengyu, smiling, "Hand over the Heavenly Book, and I can spare your lives. Otherwise, I'll kill you all, and I'll take your daughter as my wife, ha ha!"

Wu Xinyuan at this moment had already decided that nobody could threaten him after all. His intelligence had shown that Ye Xiao took a flight to Han City last night.

Of course, Wu Xinyuan never would have assumed that Ye Xiao could return so quickly!
