As Wang Jian and Lin Xingya walked away toward Shui Xueying's residence, Lin Fei lingered for a moment before steeling himself and setting off in the opposite direction. His mind was set on finding Elder Liang, determined to accept the elder's offer and seek vengeance against Wang Jian and Lin Xingya.
Lin Fei scanned the area, his eyes darting around as he searched for any sign of Elder Liang. He knew he had to act quickly if he wanted to catch up to Elder Liang.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Lin Fei, Elder Liang had not left the vicinity. Instead, he had remained hidden, observing the unfolding events with keen interest. His curiosity had been piqued by the unexpected encounter between Lin Fei and Lin Xingya.
When he noticed Lin Fei's departure without approaching Lin Xingya, Elder Liang deduced that Wang Jian's presence must have deterred him. Sensing the tension between Lin Fei and Wang Jian, Elder Liang couldn't help but wear a slightly manipulative smile.
