Xiaofang's understanding and support made Lin Yifan very relieved; now, he could finally rescue Qingqing without worries.

The thick smoke quickly dissipated, and the Long family members, feeling guilty, came to apologize.

"Brother Lin! I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have leaked the information." Long Tengyu stepped forward to admit his mistake.

Looking at this man who was about his age, Lin Yifan could only sigh; it seemed there was nothing else he could do.

Long Tengyu had helped him so much, and tonight's crisis was also resolved by Long Tengyu; because if the Long family hadn't come, the cultivators from the Shadow Organization wouldn't have left without killing him.

So, Long Tengyu had done him many favors, how could he criticize, scold, or teach him a lesson?

He could only blame himself for not having the strength to protect his own woman.

"Alright! Don't blame yourself! This was inevitable; after all, a big tree attracts the wind." Lin Yifan patted Long Tengyu on the shoulder, comforting him.

Now, having one less enemy was beneficial because his situation wasn't good.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Brother Lin. I promise I won't let it happen again next time." Long Tengyu expressed his gratitude.

Receiving this forgiveness brought him immense joy.

Looking around, he noticed some pieces of paper on the ground under the light, and he couldn't help but curiously ask, "Brother Lin, what is this?"

"This is the paper with the antidote's recipe." Lin Yifan replied.

"The recipe! Brother Lin, why did you tear it up?" Long Tengyu asked with a heartbroken expression.

The reason he had helped Lin Yifan so much was because of that antidote recipe!

His family owned a pharmaceutical company, and if that recipe was approved for mass production by the government, it would bring the Long family substantial profits; now it was torn into pieces, how could he not feel heartache?

"Isn't it your fault? If you hadn't leaked the information, the Empire of Dongying's assassins wouldn't have found me, and my girlfriend wouldn't have been captured, forcing me to be threatened." Lin Yifan couldn't help but blame.

The old wound was reopened, and he was filled with anger.

"You mean, those assassins from the Empire of Dongying threatened you with your girlfriend's life to make you tear up the antidote recipe?" Long Tengyu asked.

"That's about right." Lin Yifan responded: "Now, you should understand why I'm so angry, right?"

"Brother Lin! It was indeed my fault; I failed to keep it secret and caused you all this trouble." Long Tengyu sincerely admitted his mistake once more.

This time it was heartfelt because it was him who ruined this big business deal for the Long family.

Lin Yifan's answer was like a Calm Pill, putting everyone in the Long family present at ease.

Compared to the Long family head's concerns over the profits, the stationed elder was more concerned about the two corpses outside and the injuries of Lin Yifan's guard.

Then, he curiously asked, "Young brother, whose doing were those two corpses outside?"

Although those corpses were already pulverized beyond recognition, their cultivation aura remained; he could clearly sense their realm.

Those two corpses had been powerful True Masters in life, and the person who could reduce them to this state must have tremendous strength; so he was extremely curious about who was responsible, though he had an idea.

"Naturally, it was my guard's doing." Lin Yifan replied.

This answer brought a different reaction to Xiaofang and the others, which was surprise—why would Lin Yifan lie?

Fortunately, this surprise was kept internal, so the stationed elder of the Long family did not notice.

It was well-known among the major clans that Lin Yifan had a True Master realm guard, so there was nothing to be curious about.

What was curious was his guard's realm and current injury status, and also who his guard really was, and whether it was someone he knew.

So the stationed elder of the Long family asked, "Young brother, where is your guard now? Can he come out to meet us?"

"My guard is severely injured at the moment and is recuperating, so he cannot meet anyone. I hope Elder will understand." Lin Yifan responded politely.

Although he didn't know what the stationed elder of the Long family was planning, it certainly wasn't anything good, so it was better to remain mysterious to suppress these arrogant clans.

"No problem at all, injuries should be rested." The stationed elder of the Long family responded with a smile.

It was a pity that they could not meet Lin Yifan's guard this time; however, they gained an important piece of information, which was Lin Yifan's status in the Medicine Saint's eyes.

Assigning such a powerful guard to protect a young boy, his status must be very prestigious; so for the Medicine Saint, Lin Yifan must be a very important disciple.

With this status in mind, he definitely couldn't afford to offend Lin Yifan.

"Offending the Medicinal Saint Valley leads to no good end." This saying was not just casually said, it really could come true.

The two True Masters outside, whose strength matched or even surpassed his, proved the power of Lin Yifan's guard.

And the powerful force that tore through the dark night just confirmed it.

Now, the Long family finally understood how formidable Lin Yifan's personal guard was; and Long Tengyu was glad that he built a relationship with Lin Yifan, otherwise, he would have lost a valuable "friend".

With the crisis resolved, the Long family members no longer needed to stay; afterward, they set off for home, ending the night's rescue.

The two corpses outside were taken back by the Long family for disposal, also solving a problem for Lin Yifan.

The two True Masters of the Shadow Organization had no treasures on them, except for some darts, smoke bombs, and poisons; nothing else seemed to be on them, so there were no significant losses.
