“What’s wrong?” When Yan Yu came down from upstairs, he saw Lin Zisheng looking thoughtful, and suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
When Yan was by his side, he would always take charge of anything, rarely showing such a serious and contemplative expression. Unusual behavior indicated something amiss. Surely, something must have happened!
However, Lin Zisheng shook his head. He felt these matters were completely unimportant, and there was no need to tell Yan about them. Even if he spoke, it wouldn’t change anything, only adding unnecessary worries.
“You’re lying. I can sense that you’re hiding something from me.” In front of others, Yan Yu might not be as sensitive, but when it came to Lin Zisheng, he could sense anything at the first moment, a feeling that made Yan Yu very happy. It was a kind of understanding that couldn’t be described in words!
And now he was even more grateful for this sense because he could feel that Lin Zisheng was definitely concealing something and had no intention of telling him!
“The Elder warned me to be careful.” Lin Zisheng sighed and looked at Yan’s appearance. How could he not know that lying was useless? So he directly told Yan about what the Elder had said earlier, “The Elder said the former patriarch might want me dead.”
Of course, Lin Zisheng could understand this point. If a guardian had bent their proudest son, they would naturally want that guardian dead, right?
Upon hearing this, Yan Yu’s whole body stiffened. Obviously, he also thought of this possibility. He couldn’t help but be on high alert internally. During this time, he must not let Yan out of his sight.
“Yan, don’t worry, everything will be fine.” He wouldn’t let anyone harm Yan, and the person who told her father about him and Yan should go die sooner rather than later!
Lin Zisheng nodded without saying much. He knew that Yan was making a promise to him now, a promise to protect him. In fact, he wasn’t so concerned about these matters. Though the danger level in this world had increased, it still required considerable means to take his life!
And so, the two of them quietly ate breakfast, calculating in their hearts what might happen next and how to protect the person beside them.
Sure enough, things went as Yan had imagined. One week after Bai Lingling “disappeared,” Yan Fan, the former patriarch sent a message to Yan Yu, saying that he wanted to hold a banquet on the main island and hoped that Yan Yu would prepare well.
But both Yan and Lin Zisheng knew that the real meaning behind these words was to declare war on Yan Yu.
Back then, Yan Yu had driven the former patriarch out. How could he not hold a grudge? Now that he finally had the opportunity for revenge, he wouldn’t show any mercy!
“I knew that old man wouldn’t just sit still!” Looking at the message, Yan Yu really wanted to abandon filial piety and kill that man against all principles!
“Let’s settle it once and for all. Even if there are guards around him, we have more manpower. He can squirm before everything ends.” Lin Zisheng was quite straightforward, expressing his desire to take the other person’s life.
Lin Zisheng wasn’t a bloodthirsty person, but he knew what kind of man the former patriarch was. Though he had learned some information about the former patriarch from Yan Yu and Yan Luo, they didn’t truly understand the extent of his despicability.
It was only from the information provided by 001 that Lin Zisheng truly understood how despicable the man was. He would deceive and force marriage upon unwilling women just for the sake of continuing his lineage. He even imprisoned their families to prevent them from leaving, all to make those women bear children for him. After childbirth, he would send those worthless mistresses into the black market.
It should be noted that women who caught the eye of the head of a hidden family were usually exceptionally beautiful. Moreover, they would be trained and refined before being sent for auction, ensuring that these beautiful and alluring women fetched a considerable price. There had been countless women tormented and victimized over the years.
“Yes, I know. Let’s think it over carefully this time, and then we’ll get rid of that person!” People who shouldn’t exist should disappear as soon as possible!
In fact, Yan Yu had previously investigated the whereabouts of those women who disappeared, but it seemed like some force was obstructing him. No matter how hard he tried, the information he could obtain was very limited. So Yan Yu gave up, but he had some speculations in his mind.
As a result, his impression of this so-called father worsened even more.
Yan Yu’s mother escaped the fate of being auctioned off because she was the legitimate wife of the former patriarch. However, the former patriarch didn’t treat her well either. In his eyes, she was just a reproductive machine, a mere tool to be used and discarded at will, nothing more than an instrument for the Cheng family to handle affairs. Therefore, life at home was not satisfying.
If it weren’t for him being a satisfactory heir, Yan Yu’s mother might have been in an even more miserable situation within the Yan family.
“Yan, you know, ever since my mother passed away, I’ve always thought of myself as an orphan. In my heart, I never had a father figure.” Yan Yu had nothing to hide from Lin Zisheng.
He spoke his mind, revealing everything he thought, “In my life, there has never been a role for a father. It was always my mother who raised me to adulthood. In his eyes, my mother wasn’t his wife; she was merely a tool to be exploited and discarded at any time.”
Originally, he had restrained his behavior somewhat due to the relationship with the Cheng family. But after the fall of the Cheng family, it was as if he had become a different person, burying his mother directly in the ground. If it weren’t for him, his mother probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on for so long.
In the next few days, both Lin Zisheng and Yan Yu prepared earnestly to face the upcoming gathering. This gathering would undoubtedly be a significant test for both of them.
Just as they were in the midst of preparation on the third day, an unexpected person arrived—Yan Luo.
“Little Seven, why are you here?” Yan Luo had been on Qi Yue Island the whole time and hadn’t wandered around, so Yan Yu almost forgot about her existence.
“I’ve heard about your situation, so of course, I came to help.” Yan Luo raised an eyebrow. Although she didn’t really want to help the two, it seemed that passing this trial without their help would be quite difficult.
However, Yan Luo was still quite angry. She never thought that the eldest brother would have such thoughts for brother Yan? Sending Yan Yu back, wasn’t it like sending a sheep into the tiger’s den?
But looking at how brother Yan didn’t show any opposition, Yan Luo understood that her brother was happy now. At least when he was with his big brother, he felt content.
“You can’t be of much help. This matter is quite troublesome. Don’t get yourself involved,” because he was the legitimate son, his father wouldn’t do anything to him. However, the same couldn’t be said for the illegitimate children; after all, they were just bastards. Even if one or two of them died, he still had plenty of children, and he wouldn’t feel a thing.
In reality, to Yan Fan, even Yan Yu was not immune to being sacrificed. It’s just that due to health issues, he couldn’t impregnate women anymore. If something happened to Yan Yu, the Yan family might come to an end. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly dispose of both of them this time.
“But if I don’t help, you won’t stand a chance in overcoming this challenge.” Yan Luo’s current intention was to divert some of their father’s attention, increasing the chances of Yan Yu and Lin Zisheng staying safe.
However, she also knew that what Yan Yu said was right. If she got entangled in this, she probably wouldn’t be able to escape.

Yan Yu and Lin Zisheng also understood this, so they didn’t refuse Yan Luo’s help.
Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the time Yan Fan mentioned had arrived. Naturally, Yan Fan appeared on the island, his eyes filled with ambition as he gazed at the familiar main island.
The Yan family had a rule that once the Patriarch turned fifty or the heir was capable of taking charge, they must leave the main island and develop their own forces. No one could change this rule!
However, Yan Fan was unwilling. He held a large amount of resources and had no intention of developing his own power, something that anyone in his position wouldn’t be willing to do.
So Yan Fan had always been unwilling to marry and have children, let alone designate an heir. But when he was thirty years old, he received a warning from the elders. If he didn’t marry and have children, the position of Yan family head would be chosen from among the collateral branches when he turned fifty.
This genuinely frightened Yan Fan. If the position of Patriarch fell to a collateral branch, he wouldn’t gain any benefits. So he immediately married Yan Yu’s mother and had Yan Yu.
Originally, he hadn’t intended to groom Yan Yu to be a qualified heir. As long as Yan Yu wasn’t competent, even if he became the Yan Patriarch, ultimately the Yan family would still be under his control, right?
But he found that he had thought too well. Just when he was about to let Yan Yu go astray, the elders discovered his intentions and took him away, declaring him the heir when he was only twelve years old, and even announcing him as the Patriarch at the age of fifteen.
At that time, he was only forty-five years old and should have had another five years. But he was ousted by the elders and that rebellious son. How could he be willing to accept this!
So this time, when he learned that his rebellious son had fallen for a man, and that man was his guard, Yan Fan felt that his opportunity to turn things around had arrived. Yan Yu wouldn’t have any children in this state, so what qualifications did he have to sit in the position of Patriarch!
Looking at the villa occupying half of the main island, Yan Fan’s eyes were filled with excitement. He could return here immediately. How could he not be happy?!
However, when Yan Fan entered the villa, he found that the atmosphere here was not as he had imagined. Yan Yu wasn’t waiting for him at the entrance, nor was he begging for forgiveness as he had thought, trying to retain his position as the Patriarch. Nothing like that happened!
This is not right! It’s completely different from what he imagined.
Walking into the hall with a sulky expression, Yan Fan saw about a dozen people sitting in a semi-circle. Naturally, Yan Yu was sitting in the center, and behind him stood Lin Zisheng – his guard.
“Yan Yu, is this how you show respect? When you see your father, you should immediately give up your seat!” He had been yearning for the position of family head for a long time. Now that he had the opportunity, how could he watch Yan Yu sitting there?
The people around remained quiet, just looking at Yan Fan without making any moves. Everyone here was Yan’s child, but none of them had any feelings for him other than resentment. That’s because Yan Fan never treated them as his children; he viewed them only as tools to showcase his “ability” and “competence.” No one here was willing to call him father.
“Former family head, if you have something to say, please speak up,” the Grand Elder said, looking at Yan Fan with a sense of gratification. Thankfully, they took the Patriarch under their care; otherwise, such a good child would have been ruined. “If there’s nothing else, please leave as you should know that once the previous family head steps down, they cannot set foot on the main island.”
Hearing the Grand Elder’s words, Yan Fan’s forehead twitched with anger. He looked at the people around as if they were his enemies.
In his heart, the people here were indeed his enemies because they were obstacles to him getting what he wanted.
“Of course, I have something to say. Why else would I come here?” Yan Fan looked at Yan Yu with malice and loudly said after sizing up Yan Yu and Lin Zisheng, “Elders, do you know what your chosen heir has done? He has fallen in love with a man! Does such a person deserve to be the Patriarch?”
He spoke loudly, waiting for the elders’ astonished gazes, expecting them to push him down from his position!
But to his surprise, the people present merely glanced at him quietly and said nothing, as if they already knew about it.
As if they all knew?
At this moment, Yan Fan seemed to realize something, and his face turned ugly. “So, you all knew, and you all agree?”
If that were the case, how could these people be indifferent after hearing those words?
“We naturally know,” the Grand Elder looked at the two people standing and sitting there, appearing harmonious, with a satisfied expression. “Even we are pleased with it. Yan Fan, do you think we don’t know about the things you did in the past? You should know better than anyone why you designated Bai Lingling and Bai Lier as the Patriarch’s fiancées.”
At this point, the Grand Elder shook his head disapprovingly. “I thought you were doing it for the Patriarch’s good, but now I see clearly. One is naive and lively but ignorant of the world, while the other is envious and brainless. These two don’t get along well even in the Bai family. Marrying them to the Patriarch would be of no help and would only cause chaos in the backyard. Most importantly, the Bai family is already under your control, isn’t it, former Patriarch?”
The Grand Elder’s voice was very steady, and every word he spoke was very clear, causing Yan Fan’s face to turn pale. He hadn’t expected that his actions would be known by others, let alone this clearly.
“So what if I did all that?” Now that the situation had escalated, he was determined to dethrone Yan Yu. “In any case, now that Yan Yu has fallen for a man, he is no longer qualified to sit in this position!”
“But…” At this point, Yan Fan looked at Yan Yu with a loving gaze, as if he wanted what was best for him. “There is a precedent in the family for marrying a male spouse.”
This point was not something Yan Fan fabricated to frame Yan Yu; it was indeed true. The relationship between a guard and their master was usually very intimate, and in the process of facing hardships together, it was common for feelings to evolve into brotherly affection.
However, it was not unheard of for such feelings to turn into love, just like Yan Yu and Lin Zisheng.
Men like Yan Fan, who were promiscuous and rotten to the core, were very rare in the Yan family. They typically valued their wives greatly, and when a guard became their cherished person, they became even more devoted and persistent. Hence, there was a past case where a former Patriarch resisted all opposition and married a male spouse.
So, if Yan Yu wanted to marry Lin Zisheng, it was not an impossible thing, but the risk was too high, and the danger didn’t just apply to Yan Yu but also to Lin Zisheng.
The trial was not aimed at the Patriarch but at the guard. When the Patriarch dared to challenge the family rules for the guard’s sake, it represented the Patriarch’s determination. The next step would depend on the guard’s response.
If Yan family members were to acknowledge Lin Zisheng as the “Patriarch’s spouse,” they would have to undertake a very dangerous mission. Only if the mission was successfully completed and they returned safely could the two truly be together.
“Former Patriarch, that rule has long been abolished. So, if the Patriarch wishes, he can bring Yan in at any time,” the Grand Elder said, naturally understanding Yan Fan’s intentions. He wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Yan.
Anyone with clear eyes could see how important Yan was to Yan Yu. During a past trial for a guard, there was a failure too. The former Patriarch’s guard had failed and died in the trial. At that time, the former Patriarch almost died with him.
After hearing the recording left by the dying guard, he fell seriously ill and, upon waking up, became a changed man, cruel and brutal. He had tormented his wife to death, and ultimately, when his son could successfully inherit the position of family head, he chose suicide.
It was only then that Yan family members learned why the Patriarch abused his wife – originally, the guard could have returned safely, but that woman had manipulated things behind the scenes in her quest to become the Patriarch’s spouse.
In the present, the Patriarch cared more about his guards than the former Patriarch. If anything happened to Yan, the Patriarch would undoubtedly sacrifice himself, even taking the entire Yan family down with him.
“Whether the rule is abolished or not has nothing to do with me. If you want me to compromise, there is only one way: otherwise, Yan Yu will have to marry one of Bai’s daughters!” The former Patriarch might not have any rights, but he still had some influence on the Patriarch’s marriage because he was the father of the Patriarch.
Upon hearing Yan Fan’s words, the surroundings fell silent, and the people there looked at him with anger in their eyes. He felt extremely proud.
Reluctant? Even if Yan Yu was reluctant, what could he do? If Yan Yu wanted to be with his guard, he would have to agree to Yan Fan’s demand. Once he agreed, Yan Fan could easily do away with a single guard.
At that time, even if Yan Yu didn’t make the guard sacrifice himself, Yan Yu would likely go insane. In the end, the Yan family would still end up in Yan Fan’s hands!
“I agree.” Just as Yan Yu was about to refuse, Lin Zisheng spoke up, expressing his agreement. “You can tell us the task, and I will do it.”
Lin Zisheng’s gaze at Yan Fan was calm but exceptionally penetrating, as if he could see through his body and read his mind, making Yan Fan feel a shudder. After a moment of eye contact, he could only awkwardly look away, feeling extremely indignant inside.
Why did all the good things belong to that prodigal son? This guard seemed much better than his own guard; those old guys must have given the best things to that little brat!
Clearly, at this moment, Yan Fan had forgotten Lin Zisheng’s age. How could someone two years younger than Yan Yu become his guard? This showed that Yan Fan was a selfish person who loved to blame others.
“Yan!” Upon hearing Lin Zisheng’s agreement, Yan Yu became nervous. He had heard about the past incidents, and he didn’t want to become the second person to lose his beloved!
“Trust me, I will come back successfully.” Now, for Lin Zisheng to accomplish the upcoming task, he had to leave Yan Yu’s side. Only after completing everything could he be at ease with this person.
Thinking this, Lin Zisheng felt a bit self-deprecating. Indeed, in his heart, his mission was still more important than this person. Although he knew that if something happened to him, this person would go mad, he still chose to leave.
“You promised me you wouldn’t leave my side.” Yan Yu looked earnestly at Lin Zisheng. He didn’t care about bringing back any women to the family; he wouldn’t touch them anyway. If they obeyed, he would keep them at the family estate, but if they disobeyed, he would kill them. It wasn’t a problem at all, so why did Yan want to take risks?
“But I want to be with you openly and honestly.” After saying this, Lin Zisheng pursed his lips, bent down, and lightly kissed Yan Yu’s cheek, causing Yan Yu to forget everything he wanted to say, leaving only one thought in his mind.
Yan just kissed me, initiated the kiss.
Looking at Yan Yu’s silly expression, Lin Zisheng felt very satisfied.
The people around them looked at the interaction between the two with envy in their hearts.
As for Yan Fan, seeing this scene made his sense of satisfaction even more apparent. He knew that as long as he dealt with this guard, Yan Yu would be finished!
Since his current goal had been achieved, he needed to leave quickly and make preparations. Now that the Yan family was no longer in his control, it would be very difficult to arrange many things, and if he didn’t act quickly, he might miss the opportunity!
In the following days, Yan Yu completely neglected his official duties and stayed by Lin Zisheng’s side. Previously, it had always been Lin Zisheng following him, but now that Lin Zisheng was about to go on a mission, Yan Yu couldn’t relax and could only stay close to him.
“I will be fine, really, I promise!” Lin Zisheng said firmly now, but still felt a bit uneasy. After all, he would have to follow the script for the upcoming events and also take the opportunity to meet his family in this world.
According to the information about his world, Yan had a very loving family, but unfortunately, during his early years, there was turmoil in the family. Somehow, Yan ended up being sent to Dark Island and became Yan Yu’s guard.
Upon hearing Lin Zisheng’s words, Yan Yu pursed his lips. Although he was still worried, he held back his emotions because he must believe in Yan’s words.
On the day Lin Zisheng left, Yan Yu didn’t go to see him off because he was afraid that he couldn’t bear to let him go.
And so, he didn’t get the mission that Lin Zisheng was about to execute.
Holding the mission in his hand, Lin Zisheng frowned. He initially thought it would be similar to the one Yan did in the original world line, but to his surprise, Yan Fan had increased the difficulty of this mission countless times.
Rescue the kidnapped members of the Yan family who were taken away some time ago? That meant infiltrating the enemy’s stronghold, and Yan Fan seemed to want him dead.
“Yan, if you find this mission too difficult, you can give up,” the Elder also knew the mission’s content and suspected it was Yan Fan’s plan. After all, there had been no problems with the hidden guards before, but suddenly, they all got captured overnight. The Elder wouldn’t believe it was not leaked to the enemy.
Now the Elder was even more relieved that he had removed Yan Fan from the position of the Patriarch. If he hadn’t done that, the Yan family would have been ruined in his hands sooner or later. A person who would betray the family for his own benefit was absolutely unfit to be the Patriarch!
“Don’t worry, Elder. I will bring them back,” Lin Zisheng knew how important those people were to the Yan family, and he would help the Yan family as much as he could within his capabilities.
“Child, thank you for your hard work.” Watching Lin Zisheng, the Elder couldn’t help but understand why he had agreed. The Patriarch’s judgment was indeed excellent. This person was not only suitable to be a guard but also suitable to be the “family head wife.”
When Lin Zisheng arrived at the mission location, he realized how difficult the mission truly was. In the original world line, the kidnapped people were just low-ranking hidden guards, and they were captured by a very small family head. But now, it was a medium-sized family, and even if Yan Yu joined him, success seemed impossible.
Thankfully, it was Lin Zisheng standing there now, which increased the chances of success.
“001, search and find the location of the person we need to rescue and the enemies’ positions.” With the cheat system, completing the mission became much easier for Lin Zisheng.
However, when the map appeared before him, he realized how naive he had been. He had known that Yan Fan wanted him dead, but he hadn’t expected it to be this severe. Not only were people captured, but the enemy was also on high alert. Now, it seemed like the entire family’s members were here.
[Host, I’ve obtained information from the main system. This so-called medium-sized family actually belongs to Yan Fan’s forces. He is going all out to get rid of you, and if he fails, he’ll have nothing left.]
Although it wasn’t all of Yan Fan’s forces, it was still a considerable power. The rest were just a few insignificant figures who posed no threat to Yan Yu.
“In that case, there can’t be a single living person left here. Otherwise, it’ll be an obstacle for us,” Lin Zisheng said without intending to hide. He walked boldly toward the main gate.
Under the watchful eyes of those who were observing in secret, Lin Zisheng kicked the iron gate open, frightening everyone around.
With a single kick to open the heavy gate, such strength could easily kill a person if applied to them. This person was undoubtedly dangerous!
[Host, be careful. Two people are approaching you from the three o’clock position ahead. They are armed with guns. You’ll probably encounter them in five seconds,] 001 gave Lin Zisheng a timely warning.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zisheng narrowed his eyes and silently counted in his mind, “4, 3, 2, 1.” When he reached “1,” he swiftly threw two flying knives from his hand, accurately hitting the two individuals in their foreheads. The two fell silently to the ground, not even having a chance to gasp for breath.
Cold weapons vs. firearms, cold weapons won!
The two people who were taken down couldn’t understand how they had died so easily.
In this way, with 001’s reminders, Lin Zisheng continued towards his destination. However, the enemy was too dense, and no matter how careful he was, he still encountered groups of two or more people. Gradually, Lin Zisheng sustained wounds from the attacks.
Even though his vampire lineage made him immune to conventional weapons, Lin Zisheng was ultimately a human who had activated the vampire bloodline, not a true vampire. The weapons in the enemies’ hands still left wounds on his body, and as time passed, his injuries became more severe.
Due to the loss of blood and the scent of blood surrounding him, Lin Zisheng’s eyes began turning red. Although his hair and fangs hadn’t changed yet, 001 knew that Lin Zisheng was on the verge of losing control.
[Host, these surroundings are all monitored. You can’t lose control!] Now that he was losing control, Lin Zisheng would become an enemy to all humans, and 001 couldn’t allow its host to take such a risk.
“I know, I won’t lose control.”
Everything was a double-edged sword. The vampire lineage indeed provided significant help to Lin Zisheng, especially in accelerating wound healing when injured. However, at the same time, the excessive loss of blood made his craving for fresh blood even stronger.
Now, he was mechanically slaughtering the enemies. If he paid even a little attention, he would be drawn to their blood. He didn’t know what might happen if that occurred.
Finally, before Lin Zisheng completely lost control, he managed to eliminate all the enemies and reached the secret chamber where the hidden guards were imprisoned.
As soon as the door opened, the people inside stared at him with cautious eyes. When they recognized the familiar face, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Yan, why are you here?” Although they thought Lin Zisheng was one of their own, they were no longer certain since they had seen some familiar faces among the patrolling guards outside.
“I came to rescue you all.” Lin Zisheng leaned against the wall in the room, panting heavily. The presence of so many living people intensified his bloodlust. “Leave immediately. I don’t know if there will be reinforcements coming soon. Leave now, don’t look back, and hurry.”
As for himself, he had to stay here for a while. Lin Zisheng didn’t dare to leave until he suppressed his bloodthirst. He was afraid of what might happen if he went outside in his current state.
Hearing Lin Zisheng’s words, everyone became excited. Only the leader looked at Lin Zisheng with concern. He could tell that Lin Zisheng wasn’t in good shape, but he didn’t know how to help.
“Don’t worry about me, just leave. I won’t be in danger.” Looking at the determined expression in Lin Zisheng’s eyes, the leader eventually nodded and led the others to escape.
Finally, after leaning against the wall for a while, the cold temperature helped Lin Zisheng regain his composure. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a sharp cry from 001, [Host, run quickly! There are not only patrol guards, but also explosives buried underground. The amount is enough to blow up this place!]
After hearing this warning, Lin Zisheng rushed out in a hurry, and in his heart, he couldn’t help but blame himself. The influence from the original world line was too strong. In that timeline, after stepping into the enemy’s territory, Yan detonated the bomb. At that time, Yan wasn’t killed by the explosion, but he was killed by the people Yan Yu sent.
Upon coming here and not finding any bombs, he assumed the enemy hadn’t prepared any.
At this moment, Lin Zisheng finally understood Yan Fan’s plan. The reason he did this was to take Lin Zisheng’s life. As for the Yan family members, they would become his forces after Lin Zisheng’s death. How could he let go so easily?
But it was too late for him to realize this. When the explosion sounded, his last thought was that he wouldn’t be able to fulfill his promise to return to Yan Yu’s side.
At the same time, on the main island, Yan Yu suddenly clutched his chest as a prolonged pain struck him, almost suffocating him.
Just then, the Elder brought news, “Patriarch, the rescue mission failed. Everyone managed to escape, but Young Master Yan was unable to leave in time due to the enemy’s deranged action of detonating the bomb…”
Thud.
The pen in Yan Yu’s hand fell to the ground, and he stood there dumbfounded.
“Bomb, explosion, Yan, unable to… leave?”
Thank you for the chapter! ❤
I hope lin zisheng is fine ….
Thanks for the chapter!!
QAQ don’t believe it!
