"Grandmaster!"
After the initial chaos, everyone worked together to right the flying machine and lay the unconscious Grandmaster Lin flat on the deck.
"Fish....."
"Such a big fish..."
Lin Qi, whose mind was foggy, kept replaying the image of the enormous face of the orca smashing into his, pushing him through the waves as if yearning for poetry and distant lands.
Sitting beside Grandmaster Lin, the spirit fox listened to Lin Qi's murmurs, then turned his head and said to the anxious Lin Ying,
"Lin Ying, your grandmaster said he doesn't want to eat fish..."
After being rammed by such a huge whale, he probably wouldn't want to eat fish for the next ten years.
Lin Ying, who was dialing an emergency medical call, looked at the grandmaster, whose eyes were wide open and unconscious, unsure of what to say, her fox ears drooping slightly.
"Grandmaster's jokes....aren't funny." Lin Ying thought for a moment and responded.
Lin Qi knew there was a spirit fox beside Lin Ying, but he had no idea it was so strong.
Li Wenkang only knew that the spirit fox and Lin Ying planned to sabotage Lin Qi's yacht, sinking him into the sea tonight.
But even if Li Wenkang racked his brains, he wouldn't have thought the spirit fox would use an orca as a weapon against Lin Qi, this whole thing....was truly unbelievable.
"Whew—"
After about ten minutes, Lin Qi, who was originally lying motionless in the cabin, suddenly took a deep breath, his chest rising high. The charred, sunken outer skin on his body rapidly repaired, and even the burnt hair regrew quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Qi returned to his handsome mixed-race youth appearance.
However.
His clothes were ruined, his white and green casual shoes were gone, and his shorts were tattered, even revealing red underwear.
"Whoa! The salted fish turns over!"
Lin Qi's sudden revival startled Ansheng, who was squatting in the cabin.
"Grandmaster...."
"What are you doing?" Lin Ying turned her gaze to Lin Qi, who was sitting up, and said with a slightly exasperated tone, "We.....almost killed you."
"If it weren't for the spirit fox's intervention, that missile would have gone straight into your mouth and down your throat...."
Although Lin Qi had sat up, he was still in a daze. He looked around the cabin at everyone before it seemed he began to recall what had happened earlier.
"The fox...talked." Lin Qi glanced at the spirit fox beside him, then turned to Lin Ying and said.
"The spirit fox not only talks, it can use whales as concealed weapons." Lin Ying nodded gently.
"Oh! Let's not talk about such disappointing things." Lin Qi waved his hand and said, "You all seem quite skilled in killing, did you receive additional training at the Security Bureau, or have you practiced countless times already?"
Lin Qi had a lot to say, but he paused and then made a sarcastic remark.
When he wake up.
He was already at the bottom of the sea, with an orca digging into his pocket, like those crabs on the West Coast, trying to steal his stuff.
Just escaped from the sea's crabs.
Two missiles came face-to-face, then the orca flipped like a hundred-ton king, hitting him so hard his shoes flew off.
"You must have many questions now." Lin Qi rubbed his neck, which felt like it had a crick, smiled, and said to Lin Ying.
About...
The fox that almost killed him just now, Lin Qi didn't question or blame anything.
Spirit beasts are mysterious.
If they recognize you and seek their help, they truly will help.
But if they don't recognize you, they wish they could bury you.
Lin Ying managing to get a fox's help was clearly no ordinary relationship, and Lin Qi wisely didn't mention how the fox almost injured him, even taking it with a smile and taking the initiative to steer the conversation with Lin Ying.
The white fox.....was not as Lin Ying described, just an ordinary spirit beast meeting by chance.
If he could assist Lin Ying, in the future reorganization of the Lin Clan, things would be much simpler, at least Lin Clan members couldn't withstand a beating from a fox.....
What's advantageous, what's not, Lin Qi quickly figured out.
"My only question is, what exactly are you doing, Grandmaster?" Lin Ying sighed and said.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to see, in the face of right and wrong, what choice you would make, whether to blindly defend Lin Zhe, cover up for him, or mercilessly remove the root of trouble..." Lin Qi leaned against the cabin's cushions, smiling:
"Ultimately, you made a very reasonable and wise decision."
"Principles are principles, no family member can be an exception, including me, we cannot shake the foundation left by our ancestors. When faced with obstinate harmfulness, it's best to preempt the danger to prevent internal disaster. I'm satisfied."
"It's just....the hits did hurt a lot." Lin Qi with a helpless smile at Lin Ying, as taking two missiles and an orca wasn't exactly fun.
This time, it was his real body was here.
If it were Lin Zhe, he might have been gone in a flash.
"...."
Lin Ying sighed, now once again at a loss for words, and couldn't help but remember when she was in her spiritualized state.
In the fox lady state.
Lin Ying would have pointed at Grandmaster Lin's nose and scolded harshly:
'Lin Zhe is an idiot! Don't meddle, I was just busy scolding Lin Zhe and forgot to scold you. Are you some reckless young hothead? Half a foot already in the grave, so irresponsible, the young one is an idiot, the old one is too!'
'Besides headbutting, what else do you know, always making family worried with ridiculous actions!'
However...
The effect of the Spirit Particle Potion faded, besides worrying about the grandmaster's injuries, Lin Ying felt no strong emotions, just sighed and said:
"Grandmaster, your actions were too rash..."
"This time I said I wanted it to look like an accident to give an explanation if I hadn't said it like that..."
At this point, the spirit fox interjected seriously, "If it were in Jiule City, based on Sean's character, he would have gathered a group of spirit beasts to surround and beat you."
"Haha.....are you talking about Sean's incident?" Lin Qi perked up, recalling something, and said.
Sean Sorrens, the hyena beast warrior, was the first to experience the spirit fox's mystical technique.
A true village worth of spirit beasts surrounding and kicking, according to reports back.
Doctors found two automatic rifles, an RPG launcher, three stick grenades, and an egg whisk inside Sean's large posterior.
This incident caused a stir in the Longevity Club's internal chat software.
The bigwigs all speculated it was Li Wenkang's doing....
Only he harbored such resentment.
If he didn't like the black assistant, he could've just said so, no need to leave the Longevity Club!
Getting a white little girl assistant would've been fine too.
