Weei Jie, Zhou Hao, and Ling Shuya all had their eyes fixed on the box in Ling Hengyu's hand, made of a special material.

Especially Zhou Hao, he knew that the Martial Arts World of Minghai City had long been rumored to have a Heavenly Book, and it was because of this that the safety of the Ling family had always been threatened. Now, seeing the box in Ling Hengyu's hands, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Hand it over, quickly!" Wu Xinyuan said, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the box, understanding its importance. If its contents were as he imagined, a peerless Martial Arts Secret Manual, then...

Weei Jie stepped forward, addressing Ling Hengyu, "Mr. Ling, this is a family heirloom for the Ling family, but for ordinary people, it is..."

Ling Hengyu sighed, not uttering a word!

Wu Xinyuan thought Weei Jie was trying to hinder Ling Hengyu and immediately glared at Weei Jie, shouting, "You decrepit fool, you'd better keep your mouth shut, or I'll make you die without a burial place in an instant!"

Weei Jie didn't even glance at Wu Xinyuan, instead, his gaze remained on Ling Hengyu!

Ling Hengyu held the box and slowly moved to the side table next to the sofa, then placed the box on top, and stepped back to his original position.

"Now you can release my daughter, can't you? All of us together are unlikely to be your match," Ling Hengyu spoke very tactfully. The first part of his sentence implied that the box was already handed over, and naturally, the hostage should be released. The latter part was to inform Wu Xinyuan that there was no need to worry; even if Ling Shuya were released now, there was no need to fear a sneak attack as they were no match for him.

At this moment, Wu Xinyuan's thoughts were all concentrated on that box. Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, he pushed Ling Shuya aside without a second word and with a swift motion, moved beside the side table with the box.

Ling Shuya was pushed to the ground, and Ling Hengyu immediately dashed over, helping Ling Shuya up.

"Yaya, how are you?" Ling Hengyu's eyes were red, even though his voice was calm, it was evident to anyone at that moment that his heart was filled with tumultuous waves.

"Dad, I'm fine, I'm fine!" Ling Shuya wasn't as willful as she used to be at that moment, understanding that they were facing an extremely formidable enemy, at least until Ye Xiao appeared.

Ling Hengyu looked at his sensible daughter, choking up slightly as he softly said, "Daddy is powerless, I've let you suffer."

While speaking, Ling Hengyu's gaze turned toward Wu Xinyuan in the distance, who was now opening the box, his face full of anticipation as he checked the contents.

Indeed, inside the box was an ancient-looking, yellowed book.

To call it a book seemed more like calling a few sheets of paper a book.

Wu Xinyuan carefully took the ancient tome out of the box. It was inscribed with two words in seal script.

As a Martial Artist, understanding seal script was fundamental, for many ancient Martial Arts manuals were written in such script. Without knowing it, even if a world-class Cultivation Technique were presented before them, it would be of no use.

Hence, although it was seal script, Wu Xinyuan still recognized the words on the book.

"Mad God Skill"

"Ah?" Wu Xinyuan was surprised when he saw the name of the ancient tome, followed by confusion.

"This is not the Heavenly Book!" Wu Xinyuan stated with certainty.

Then, Ling Hengyu said, "Indeed, this is not the Heavenly Book. I don't have a Heavenly Book at all. Someone just wanted to doom me, so they spread the rumor that I possessed it in the Martial Arts World. If I had the Heavenly Book, wouldn't you be dead by now?"

Listening to Ling Hengyu, Wu Xinyuan felt there was some reason to it. If Ling Hengyu truly had the Heavenly Book, why wouldn't he use it himself? Especially with his power still so modest to date!

But what exactly was this Mad God Skill? Wu Xinyuan had heard of many famous and uncommon Martial Arts manuals, but he had never heard of this Mad God Skill.

Wu Xinyuan turned to Ling Hengyu and asked, "What is this Mad God Skill? It seems like a decent Martial Arts Secret Manual. Why haven't you cultivated it?"

Wu Xinyuan was no fool; if the Mad God Skill were a supreme manual, it was impossible for Ling Hengyu not to cultivate it himself.

Ling Hengyu spoke gravely, "Don't you know that Martial Arts cultivation requires talent? I'm ashamed of my lack of talent. Now that the manual is yours, aren't you leaving?"

Hearing Ling Hengyu's words and understanding his emotions at the moment, Wu Xinyuan couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh, then carefully replaced the Mad God Skill back into the box, with the obvious intention of taking it back for his own study.

"Ha-ha, why should I leave?" Wu Xinyuan said, "It's time we talk about my leg. Let me tell you, I'm someone who holds grudges very well. Anyone who has done something to me that isn't presentable, I always remember it in my heart."

Ling Hengyu immediately frowned upon seeing Wu Xinyuan had no intention of leaving and became somewhat angry. He said to Wu Xinyuan, "A gentleman should keep his word, Wu Xinyuan. You are a high-level martial artist, how can you be so dishonorable? I no longer have the treasure you want here."

"I do!" Wu Xinyuan, whose appearance was never particularly handsome, now smiled even more hideously!

Ling Hengyu, hearing Wu Xinyuan's words, looked confused!

Wu Xinyuan laughed heartily and pointed at the stunning beauty standing beside Ling Hengyu, Ling Shuya, saying, "Isn't such a great beauty a peerless treasure? Didn't I say before that I want to be your son-in-law, Ling Hengyu? I hate people who steal brides, so, Mr. Future Father-in-law, you won't force me, will you?"

As soon as Wu Xinyuan said this, everyone was shocked!

But at that moment, the doors of the villa were pushed open!

Almost everyone looked towards the door, only to see Wang Luoxin walking into the villa first. When she saw Ling Shuya, she smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

The other members of the Seven-colored Lamp followed Wang Luoxin into the villa!

Seeing Wang Luoxin and others entering the villa, Wu Xinyuan couldn't help but wonder, had all those Xuan Rank experts outside been taken down? That was way too fast.

However, Wu Xinyuan was very clear about the reputation of the Seven-colored Lamp, so he wasn't too surprised and didn't notice that when the Seven-colored Lamp entered the villa, the villa door was not closed!

"Captain Chi Yu, you've had it rough today. If Ye Xiao comes later, you'll have to work hard again," Wu Xinyuan said to Ling Hengyu and the others in a condescending manner, but when facing the Seven-colored Lamp, he dared not show any arrogance.

Wang Luoxin didn't speak, but she and her Seven-colored Lamp members surrounded Wu Xinyuan, Ling Hengyu, and the others from various angles!

Wu Xinyuan, seeing Wang Luoxin and the others standing silently in their positions, secretly scoffed at their arrogance. However, if the Mad God Skill was truly a supreme secret manual, once he mastered it, he would definitely bring all these beauties to his bed to enjoy thoroughly!

Thinking of this, a blissful smile appeared on Wu Xinyuan's face.

"Wang Luoxin?" Ling Shuya was already very surprised to see Wang Luoxin enter the villa. After all, how could Wang Luoxin be on Wu Xinyuan's side? Didn't Ye Xiao have some sort of flirtatious relationship with Wang Luoxin? Why would Wang Luoxin still...

"Wang Luoxin?" Wu Xinyuan heard Ling Shuya's words and smiled slightly, saying, "She's not any Wang Luoxin, she's the boss of the Seven-colored Lamp, Chi Yu!"

"Chi Yu?" Ling Shuya became even more puzzled. This obviously looked like Wang Luoxin, so how did she turn into Chi Yu?

Not only was Ling Shuya surprised, but Weei Jie was also astonished, yet having faced many big storms before, he wasn't as surprised as Ling Shuya.

"Yes, I am Chi Yu, but I am also Wang Luoxin!" Wang Luoxin smiled faintly!

Ling Shuya examined Wang Luoxin's clothing, which was very distinctive and red, making her a bit wary of Wang Luoxin.

"Are you with Wu Xinyuan?" Ling Shuya looked coldly at Wang Luoxin and said, "Aren't you and Ye Xiao friends?"

"Hehe, would you allow me to be friends with Ye Xiao? If yes, would you be jealous if Ye Xiao and I became friends?" Wang Luoxin teased Ling Shuya deliberately.

Ling Shuya blushed instantly when she heard Wang Luoxin's words, but didn't know how to respond.

Truth be told, Ling Shuya wasn't too pleased when she saw Ye Xiao and Wang Luoxin flirting. After all, who wants to share the tastiest morsel with others?

Listening to Wang Luoxin, Wu Xinyuan surmised that she might know Ye Xiao, which struck him as odd, as he seemed to recall Wang Luoxin saying she didn't know Ye Xiao.

Wu Xinyuan immediately looked at Wang Luoxin and said, "Captain Chi Yu, dealing with Ye Xiao is a task for the Seven-colored Lamp."

"Taking money to solve someone's trouble is the consistent style of the Seven-colored Lamp!" Wang Luoxin smiled lightly!

Hearing this, Wu Xinyuan felt much better, thinking he might have worried over nothing, so he laughed loudly again and looked at Ling Hengyu and Ling Shuya, saying, "Consider it. If I become your Ling family's son-in-law, I believe with me around, Hengyu Group won't be bullied by others!"

Wang Luoxin, hearing Wu Xinyuan's words, glared fiercely at him, thinking that he was shameless to loudly declare his intention to become someone's son-in-law. Why did this remind her of Zhu Bajie's situation back in Gao Laozhuang?

"You want to be my Ling family's son-in-law?" Ling Hengyu's expression suddenly became dramatic, and his anger vanished. He looked at Wu Xinyuan and said with a smile, "I'm afraid, you have to ask the person behind you!"
