Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 265 — Family Ling V
"You want to slaughter my family..." Zhou Yuan looked at Tianhai coldly before pouring a deep power on his ice sword then unleashing a fierce energy wave onto one of the buildings, making the building explode and shatter into pieces. "You can try it and I assure you, the Ling Family will disappear today..."
Ling Fuyan's knees felt limp until they finally fell down, the strength Zhou Yuan released at this moment was more terrifying than before.
Ling Fuyan cursed in her heart, knowing that Zhou Yuan possessed this much strength she might think twice about attacking the Zhou Family.
The remaining Elders and guards became frightened, they now looked at Zhou Yuan like a monster that could slaughter them at any moment.
Tianhai gave a disheveled expression and felt responsible for all of this, he immediately walked up to Zhou Yuan and paid his respects. "Mr Swordsman, I apologize for speaking just now, I've made a mistake..."
Tianhai was aware that if Zhou Yuan wanted it, perhaps the young man could eliminate his family while turning his palm. Tianhai belatedly realized that Zhou Yuan was a figure he should not offend even to his classmates.
Tianhai deeply regretted and feared that his family would be killed by Zhou Yuan. "A rider can kill me as long as you don't kill others, the Ling Family is led by a greedy person like me, you can kill me as a mistake the Ling Family made..."
Zhou Yuan clucked softly and then pulled his murderous aura back, "Forget it, this time I will forgive you but if you do the same deed in the future, you better worry about your perishing Family..."
Tianhai nodded. "Thank you for the Swordsman's humility, I promise I won't make this mistake again."
Zhou Yuan snorted then his body began to float through the air, making anyone who saw him hold their breath and be surprised.
Before Zhou Yuan darted away, he briefly relayed a warning to the Ling Family. "This is the first and last warning, lest I hear you blackmailing other noble families or things won't end like this."
Zhou Yuan glanced at them again before then darting flying through the air, seeing Zhou Yuan go Tianhai and the other Ling Family breathing in relief.
"Leader, what should we do with the swordsman, investigate him?" One of the Elders approached Tianhai and asked.
Tianhai let out a long sigh, he initially felt quite confident in the Ling Family's abilities and strength but after meeting Zhou Yuan, he rethought and realized so little of his view of assessing the martial world.
"No, we can't touch her anymore..." Tianhai glanced at the building that Zhou Yuan had destroyed earlier. "From that, from now on we will return the money collected from the forced tax proceeds from other noble families. The Ling family will shut themselves down for the next few weeks."
The Elders did not refute, they had already sensed Zhou Yuan's murderous aura and their whole life had only seen someone who had such a murderous aura.
Tianhai also ordered his Elders to shut down everything that happened today and forget about it including the existence of Zhou Yuan's identity.
Tianhai this time only hoped not to offend Zhou Yuan back.

Zhou Yuan was flying at high speed and as he arrived at his residence, the sun began to appear at the end of the horizon. Zhou Yuan sped up his flight before landing in his room by passing through the window without anyone knowing.
Just as he arrived in the room, Zhou Yuan heard the door of his room being knocked on by someone from outside.
Zhou Yuan opened his door and found Lin Ruyue coming to his room.
"Did Mom bother you Yuan'er?" Lin Ruyue smiled gently, looking at her son with an affectionate feeling.
"No, Mom, I just woke up."
"Hm, what happened to your clothes?" Lin Ruyue looked at Zhou Yuan's robe.
"Ah, this... Last night I did my mother's practice." Zhou Yuan scratched his cheek.
After putting up a fight in the Ling Family, Zhou Yuan's clothes were a little tangled and far from neat, so it was only natural that Lin Ruyue quickly noticed it.
Zhou Yuan couldn't possibly forget her, the little girl was his younger sister, Zhou Yuyin.
"Ah, Yin'er has been wanting to see you since last night, this morning she referred Mom to go to your room." Lin Ruyue noticed Zhou Yuan's gaze, stroking Yuyin's head.
Zhou Yuan took out something under his cloak and squatted down to be the same height as the little girl.
"Yin'er, do you want this?" Zhou Yuan took out a necklace in which was a green diamond that shone beautifully.
Zhou Yuyin's eyes widened looking at the necklace, and she timidly picked it up from her Brother's palm.
Yuyin looked delighted and it seemed like she liked the necklace Zhou Yuan had given her.
"Yin'er, what should you say to your brother?" Lin Ruyue smiled gently.
"Thank you Brother." The little girl smiled shyly.
Zhou Yuan chuckled slightly before then stroking Yuyin's head gently, it had already been three years since he had not met his sister.
Yuyin looked a lot changed, she was already a cute and cute little girl, Zhou Yuan could see that if her younger sister had grown up she would be a beautiful girl like her mother.
Zhou Yuan still felt awkward meeting his sister after so long so to fix it he would train lightly with Yuyin.
"After you went to the Capital, Yin'er trained a lot and wanted to be like her brother." It was obvious that Lin Ruyue after hearing that Zhou Yuan was going to train with her younger brother. "He still can't open the dantian gate, but his ability is already quite good..."
Zhou Yuan smiled and nodded slowly. "I understand Mom, I'll practice with her later."
Lin Ruyue then said that their breakfast had been served, Zhou Yuan was asked to come eat together because they and their family had not been together for a long time.
Zhou Yuan nodded but he did not first leave, Zhou Yuan cleaned his body first.
At the dining table there were only three people gathered because Zhou Yao was already working to take care of his leadership in the Zhou Family.
Ever since Zhou Yao occupied the House Chief, he had indeed been busier and could sometimes fall asleep at his workplace.
Lin Ruyue asked a lot at the dining table to Zhou Yuan while Yuyin was still shyly meeting her Brother.
After breakfast Zhou Yuan accompanied his practicing sister, the girl was patronized by Zhou Bing for the past three years and also studied swordsmanship.
As Yuyin displayed her sword ability, Zhou Yuan was slightly surprised by her brother's sword ability which turned out to be beyond her expectations.
'Yin'er, having comprehended a swordsmanship of this level at almost seven years old, does this mean that he is a genius in swordsmanship as well?' Inner Zhou Yuan in his heart.
