WDQK: Incredible Understanding At The Beginning

Chapter 20: The Lei Family's Actions, Decisive Action!

Not long after, Lin Xiao brought Lin Tian and Lin Dong to the inner courtyard of the Lin family, where they found Lin Zhentian.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiao relayed Lin Tian's speculation to Lin Zhentian.

After hearing this, Lin Zhentian was immediately shocked and infuriated. "Damn it! The Lei family's bastards are truly despicable!"

"I believe the Lei family's plan aligns with Lin Tian's guess. Why didn't we think of it? Several adults are outsmarted by a child like Lin Tian."

Lin Tian replied, "I just made a random guess based on the character of the Lei family; it may not be accurate."

He had hesitated to share the Lei family's plans too early, especially since he speculated only after they had dragged it out for a while.

On one hand, Lin Tian wanted to keep his ability to predict future events a secret. On the other, he worried that if the Steel Wood had not been destroyed, it could lead to the discovery of the Yangyuan Stone vein.

Ultimately, the Yangyuan Stone mine was of greater significance than the loss of some steel wood.

Lin Zhentian considered Lin Tian's statement. "Whether it's true or not, this matter can't be delayed any longer! Lin Xiao, go call your elder brother right away. Take your men to Steel Wood Manor and seize it by force!"

"Okay," Lin Xiao agreed, immediately turning around to call Lin Ken.

Lin Tian and Lin Dong also expressed their desire to accompany Lin Xiao and the others to Steel Wood Manor.

When Lin Zhentian learned that Lin Dong was already in the middle stage of the Earthly Yuan Realm and that Lin Tian had even broken through to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, he was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.

Thus, Lin Ken, Lin Xiao, and dozens of Lin family warriors mounted their horses and quickly raced toward Steel Wood Manor.

Lin Tian and Lin Dong rode on Little Flame's back, moving much faster than the horses.

Upon arrival at Steel Wood Manor, they found the gate securely closed.

Lincoln narrowed his eyes. "The manor gate is shut; it seems things won't go smoothly!"

Lin Xiao nodded slightly and waved his hand, signaling the Lin family warriors to prepare for battle.

In an instant, dozens of Lin family members drew their swords, and the sound of clanging steel filled the air.

Lin Dong, standing at the side, watched this scene with clenched fists and a hint of nervousness.

Lin Tian chuckled, trying to reassure him. "Don't worry. We arrived suddenly, and the Lei family was caught off guard. It's unlikely that they could mobilize all their experts. Even if it comes to a fight, we will definitely win."

"Qin Ying, take two people to support Lin Tian and Lin Dong," Lin Xiao instructed in a low voice. He then whipped his horse forward and headed toward the closed gate of Steel Wood Manor with his entourage.

Although both Lin Tian and Lin Dong were strong, Lin Xiao worried about their lack of experience, so he specially arranged a few people to assist them.

Though Lin Tian didn't find the additional support necessary, he acknowledged Lin Xiao's concern with gratitude.

"Stop! This is the Lei family manor! Outsiders are not allowed to enter!" 

As Lin Xiao and his companions approached the gate, many cold lights flickered on the towering courtyard wall. A leader of the Lei family shouted at them.

"Tell your manager to come out. Today, my Lin family is here to take over Steel Wood Manor!" Lin Xiao, mounted on his horse, spoke in a deep voice that echoed throughout Steel Wood Manor.

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures flashed down from the manor wall, and a sarcastic voice followed.

"Hey, Lin Xiao, if you want to take over Steel Wood Manor, then you need to go to the Lei family to complete the formalities first! Without the proper procedures, it would be difficult for us to comply!"

"Lei Nuo, Lei Ying!" 

Seeing these two figures, Lin Ken and Lin Xiao frowned slightly; they recognized them as masters of the Heavenly Yuan Realm from the Lei family.

At that moment, the two groups began a verbal battle at the gate of Steel Wood Manor.

"Brother Lin Tian, do you sense something amiss?" 

At the back of the group, Lin Dong's eyes flickered with concern as he whispered to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian nodded slightly. "Do you think they are stalling for time?"

"Very likely," Lin Dong agreed, feeling more confident in his judgment now.

He immediately suggested that Qin Ying help them sneak into Steel Wood Manor from another direction to scout the situation.

Qin Ying hesitated for a moment, but considering Lin Tian and Lin Dong's strength, he ultimately agreed.

He waved to two brothers, protecting Lin Tian and Lin Dong as they left the main group.

The five people and one beast quickly navigated through the forest.

Not long after, they successfully infiltrated Steel Wood Manor.

Upon entering Steel Wood Manor, everything seemed quiet.

"Let's head directly to where the steel wood is planted and take a look," Lin Tian suggested to Lin Dong and Qin Ying, his eyes glinting with determination.

They had no objections to this plan.

The group quickly made their way to the planting area of Steel Wood Manor.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

However, the area that should have been filled with steel trees was now mostly barren!

Only some black wooden stumps remained protruding from the ground. Examining the broken fragments, they saw many hasty cuts from knives and axes, indicating a rush job!

Not only that, but they also observed many servants from the Lei family frantically pouring bottles of noxious liquid onto the land, attempting to eradicate the special soil essential for growing steel wood!

As Lin Dong, Qin Ying, and the others witnessed this scene, they couldn't help but go pale.

"These bastards!" 

Qin Ying hissed, clenching his teeth in anger.

Lin Tian's expression remained calm as he addressed Qin Ying. "Uncle Qin Ying, send a signal to inform my uncle and third uncle."

Qin Ying replied, "If we send a signal, we'll be discovered. Shouldn't we retreat instead?"

Given Lin Tian and Lin Dong's status in his mind as two Earthly Yuan Realm warriors who hadn't experienced life-and-death battles, he felt concerned for their well-being.

Lin Tian shook his head. "They only have two masters at the Earthly Yuan Realm. The rest are no threat; we can take them down."

Lin Dong chimed in decisively, "Brother Lin Tian is right. Uncle Qin Ying, let's not delay any longer. We're not going to do anything reckless!"

Seeing both Lin Tian and Lin Dong so determined, Qin Ying thought carefully about their current predicament and steeled himself to send a signal.

"Who?"

The signal sent by Qin Ying quickly alerted everyone in the Lei family. The leader, a gloomy-looking man, turned around with a fierce glare!

"Leave the two Earthly Yuan Realm masters to me. Lin Dong and Uncle Qin Ying, take two brothers and stop the others!" Realizing they had been discovered, Lin Tian wasted no time. He spoke to Lin Dong and Qin Ying, then leaped off Little Flame's back and propelled himself toward the leading man!

"Uncle Qin Ying, let's go help!" Lin Dong urged, quickly shouting to Qin Ying. He then urged Little Flame forward and charged toward the group of Lei family guards.

"Roar!"

Little Flame's roaring made the Lei family guards panic.

Qin Ying noticed Lin Tian and Lin Dong rushing in first. Not daring to delay, he quickly rallied two brothers and joined the fray...
