But in his view, his martial prowess might be insignificant and easily defeated in front of these experts.

It's just that, for a young man like him, the potential behind is said to be boundless. After all, at his age, even if he continues to develop, he probably has already hit a bottleneck.

As for Ye Chen, his potential could also be said to be limitless. Eventually, he might even be able to defeat him.

"How long have you been staying in Sea City?"

He suddenly turned his head, and then looked at Ye Chen and asked.

"I haven't been in Sea City for too long. At that time, I was following my leader's order, and then I came here. The purpose is to protect Miss Lin's safety."

"Oh, I know about that, but do you know why you're protecting Miss Lin?"

"Not clear. I only know that she seems to be related to a major corporation, but in my interactions with Miss Lin, she doesn't mention anything about this corporation."

"Then it seems you really know too little, and about her father, do you know what happened to him?"

"I have heard something about it, that he disappeared at some point? But hasn't there been no news?"

"That's right, Lin Yaru's father is Lin Tianyu, and 10 years ago, during a mountain climbing accident, he vanished all of a sudden. A large search party was deployed at the time but they all came back empty-handed."

"In that case, could it be possible that he didn't die at all? If he did die, such a large-scale search would definitely have found his body."

"That's why it's strange. If he did die, they should have received some final closure, even if it's just to retrieve his body. But now, neither living nor dead has been found. You tell me, doesn't this count as an unresolved case?"

"Yes, indeed it does, but what does this have to do with me protecting Miss Lin? It doesn't seem necessarily connected, does it?"

"It's precisely because of this incident that the old master of the Lin Family must know that someone is after them, or at least, it's against the interests of the Lin Family, so for now, they can only temporarily keep Lin Yaru protected."

"But as far as I know, Lin Yaru and the Lin Family's relationship isn't as good as one might imagine. Moreover, whenever the people of the Lin Family are mentioned, Lin Yaru seems to be very resistant."

"Yes, there is indeed some hatred between them, especially the hatred between Lin Yaru and the old master. It seems it has never been truly resolved over all these years."

"Uncle Ada, I also want to ask, what exactly is the grudge between them? After all, they are grandfather and granddaughter, how could there be any resentment that has persisted for over 10 years?"

Actually, this was a question that Ye Chen had always wanted to understand, but the key issue was that he had previously asked Li Fu, but Li Fu was tight-lipped about it, so now he could only try asking someone else.

Hope to get some clues from Ada, it's just unfortunate that he didn't know how much Ada could reveal about the Lin Family's history.

"Truth be told, I don't know much about the matter either, just that I've overheard some bits from the old master's side."

"Then do you think the relationship between the old master and Lin Yaru's grandfather was very close?"

"Have you not heard of the Four Great Masters of Sea City back in the day?"

"What Four Great Masters? I don't know, what does that mean?"

"It's all old news now, and there's not much point in telling you these things. Back then, they were revered throughout the entire Sea City, and even nationwide. But later, with time and certain events, the Four Great Masters gradually fell apart."

"Are you saying that Lin Yaru's grandfather was one of the Four Great Masters, and so was Guo Hongyu's grandfather?"

"That's correct, indeed. Of course, there were two others besides them, but those two have always lived abroad, and it's unclear what exactly happened to them back then."

"So, it seems like there's a lot of stories hidden in there."

"Yeah, anyone has some speculations about these matters, but the key issue is that these people absolutely do not disclose anything about it, so there is nothing to start a discussion with."

"I see."

After saying this, Ye Chen nodded, feeling that there was indeed a deep secret buried here, and this secret was vast and had a wide-ranging impact.

Until now, and even 10 years later into the future, this secret still exists in Sea City and is still intricately connected to these descendants, constantly entangling relationships.

Now, inadvertently, he has stepped into it, but Ye Chen is not sure what role Li Fu plays in all this. Themostup‑to‑dateversionison*.

If we talk about the Four Great Masters, then Guo Hongyu's grandfather and Lin Yaru's grandfather could claim the title, but could Li Fu really count as one of the Four Great Masters with his abilities?

Furthermore, as Ada made it clear before, four of them were involved, two of which are now in the Domestic regions and the other two abroad. Thus, Li Fu should be unrelated to the Four Great Masters.

Even if they didn't occupy one of those spots, then Li Fu must have played a very important role within the Four Great Masters' system. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for him to know so much about these matters.

"Uncle Ada, there's something I really don't understand, what's your relationship with elder Li and the others?"

"Heh, our relationship goes way back, probably around twenty or thirty years now."

"Moreover, I've heard him speaking very respectfully when he was on the phone with elder Guo. Were you all together back in the days?"

"Yes, we indeed did things together back then. Thinking back on those days, living life on the edge, it was truly thrilling. But now that I'm getting older, ah, let's not talk about the old days anymore."
