Henry Yuan suddenly remembered something, his face changed dramatically: "That Evan Nine Mysteries Lin who shook Seacrest Prefecture is here? We have nothing to do with him! You must be mistaken!"
Henry Yuan tried to distance himself from Evan Nine Mysteries Lin and Medicine King Valley’s feud: "Besides, look at us—there’s no Evan Nine Mysteries Lin here. I’m Henry Yuan, my uncle is Trent Yuan, this woman is Yvonne Qu, and then…"
Henry Yuan was about to say more when he suddenly remembered the boy he’d just seen.
He whipped his head around and saw the ordinary-looking youth standing beside Warren Wu, his face as calm as ever.
Then the youth clasped his hands behind his back and walked forward, completely ignoring Yvonne Qu and Henry Yuan.
"So Medicine King Valley only sent you lackeys to die? I thought there’d be a bigger show to welcome me. But there’s not even one Vajra-realm among you, just some peak Inner Strength at best. Pathetic."
The youth strode forward alone and spoke calmly.
His figure was like a blade as he passed by Yvonne Qu.
Yvonne Qu’s eyes widened in disbelief—wasn’t Evan Lin just the boy staying at Chen Linyan’s house, with a humble background?
And now, when did this guy become Evan Nine Mysteries Lin?
The leader of the Guardians stepped forward—a fierce-looking brute, nearly two meters tall, built like a wall of muscle. With a gleaming bald head and fists bigger than sandbags, he looked every bit like a human Vajra. He glared coldly and growled, “Are you all together?”
The bald Guardian’s gaze first landed on Trent Yuan, then swept over Henry Yuan and Yvonne Qu, finally fixing on Warren Wu and Evan Lin.
He lingered on Evan Lin for a few extra moments, his heart full of wariness.
Just now, Elder Thomas Tu had given a sudden order for all Guardians and Enforcers to rush outside the valley and intercept Evan Nine Mysteries Lin.
The Enforcers were still on their way, some distance off, and as for Elder Thomas Tu, rumor had it he was working some secret technique, which was why he hadn’t shown up yet.
These were Medicine King Valley’s Guardians—usually strengthened by the Valley’s pills and trained in all kinds of martial arts, their power formidable. Their whole purpose was to ensure the Valley’s safety.
Now that Evan Nine Mysteries Lin had come to the Valley, it was finally time for them to act.
“All together?” Trent Yuan blinked, still not understanding. After a moment’s hesitation, he replied, “They’re just here to accompany me...”
He was about to explain that Henry Yuan and Yvonne Qu were just here to support him in his Guardian tryout.
But before he could finish, the steel-bodied bald Guardian nodded with a cruel grin. “Enough talk. Let’s see what you’ve got, daring to step into Medicine King Valley!”
