While chatting, they unknowingly found themselves in front of a small red door reminiscent of an ancient Prince Mansion.

"We have arrived, Mr. Lin, please follow me."

A faint guzheng sound emanated from the small red door. Judging by the softness of the sound, it was likely a woman playing.

Lin Hai was curious. Could this be the Xuanyuan Family's daughter?

"The sound of this guzheng is beautiful," Lin Hai praised.

"Guzheng? What guzheng?" Diva Zi was utterly confused, as she hadn't heard a thing.

"Did you not hear it? As soon as we entered, the sound of the guzheng came out, the melody so soft, it brings a sense of tranquility to the mind."

Lin Hai raised his head, entranced, and inclined his ear to listen.

"Mr. Lin, have you not been drinking enough water lately?" Goddess Zi asked.

"Huh? How do you know? Do you also understand medical skill?" Lin Hai became interested.

"No, I heard that people who are heaty tend to have poor hearing and experience auditory hallucinations." Goddess Zi replied bluntly.

"..." Lin Hai nearly suppressed an internal injury.

"You really didn't hear it?" Lin Hai was bewildered.

He could hear it very clearly.

"I didn't hear any guzheng sound at all."

"That's strange... It's not scientific!"

Even if Lin Hai were heaty, drinking two kilograms of arsenic wouldn't affect his senses.

Yet Goddess Zi didn't seem to be pretending.

That could only mean... the guzheng sound was real, but it seemed only he could hear it.

Entering the small red door, there wasn't even a servant around. It seemed the owner liked tranquility.

"I'll go find the elders first, Mr. Lin, feel free to explore, but the layout here is quite complex, it's easy to get lost." Goddess Zi warned.

Lin Hai nodded. From the first glance upon entering, he could see that the feng shui layout was designed according to the Nine Palace Eight Diagram, both storing vital energy for health and acting as a kind of labyrinth.

"Who's playing the guzheng? This level matches the national standard."

Curious, Lin Hai followed the sound of the guzheng.

After walking for about ten minutes, despite his clear logical thinking and formidable prowess, Lin Hai almost got lost.

Clearly, the layout was designed by a master.

"The sound of the guzheng is getting louder, it seems to be just ahead."

But in front was a wall.

Scratching his head, Lin Hai, driven by curiosity, decided to use a childhood skill—climbing the wall.

With a leap, as light as a swallow, Lin Hai vaulted over the wall effortlessly.

Upon landing, Lin Hai was dumbfounded.

Before him was a petite girl, around 155 cm tall, with an innocent and cute appearance, two small braids, sitting earnestly playing an antique and priceless guzheng.

However, what intrigued Lin Hai the most was her eyes, filled with an inexplicable ancient wisdom, definitely not the eyes of a young girl.

Seemingly sensing a slight change in the air, the little girl turned her head and spotted Lin Hai.

"Such keen intuition," Lin Hai admired inwardly.

The moment the little girl saw Lin Hai, her once clear and calm eyes filled with surprise, her childish face written with astonishment.

"Um... I was just curious about the guzheng sound..."

Before Lin Hai could finish, there was a crack sound.

The little girl, as if angered by something, suddenly slapped the priceless guzheng fiercely, and it shattered with a response.

"Damn! What strength!"

Lin Hai's eyes widened, baffled.

Such a temper? Could it be because his sudden appearance disrupted her playing? That shouldn't be the case.

The little girl stared intently at Lin Hai's face, her delicate hands clenched into little fists.

The ancient wisdom in her eyes quickly transformed into endless fury and killing intent.

"I... was just passing by, minding my own business."

Lin Hai swallowed hard, his intuition telling him this little girl was not to be trifled with, with a fiery temper.

"Twenty-six years!"

"A whole twenty-six years!"

The little girl's eyes emitted a chilling light, and even her gritted words were melodious.

"Little girl, what are you talking about twenty-six years?"

"I've finished my business, I'll be off. I can't afford the guzheng."

Lin Hai prepared to make a quick escape; this place was at the very edge of Zhongnanhe, who knew what identity this little girl had.

Better to avoid trouble.

"Try taking one step," the little girl's teeth ground with a creaking sound.

Lin Hai froze mid-step, as if her words were directed at him.

Turning his neck awkwardly, Lin Hai forced a smile: "Well, I really didn't mean to cause trouble."

"Besides, you broke the guzheng yourself, it has nothing to do with me."

"I'm just a lowly security guard, making about a thousand bucks a month, even if I sell my kidney, I can't pay for your guzheng."

Lin Hai hurriedly explained.

"Still as shameless as before!"

The little girl's eyes nearly spewed frost; her words squeezed out one by one.

"Cough cough... Perhaps you're not talking about me; I've always been pure, not shameless at all."

Lin Hai blinked, preparing to leave despite the tension.

"Beast Lin, try taking one more step."

Seeing Lin Hai still intent on leaving, the little girl angrily said again.

Hearing "Beast Lin," Lin Hai felt as though struck by lightning, his heart pounding violently.

Sh*t!

She actually knows his signature nickname...

This isn't logical!

In his memory, Lin Hai was sure that he didn't know this furious little girl.

But how could she call him Beast Lin?

And why does she act as if she has a blood feud with him?

"Do you know me?"

Lin Hai turned his head, blinking his eyes.

"Even if you turned to ashes, I would remember; today, I won't spare you."

With that, the little girl stood up, her youthful silk dress emanating a sign of Gang Qi circulating.

"Damn! Gang Qi?"

Lin Hai's eyes widened. Who on earth was this little girl?

She looked no older than fifteen or sixteen, yet she possessed something as sophisticated as Gang Qi.

Before Lin Hai could calm his emotions, the enraged little girl stepped forward with incredible speed, her delicate hand already reaching for Lin Hai's heart, aiming for a fatal spot.

"Damn! Such a vicious move."

Lin Hai swiftly flipped and dodged, surprised to find the little girl's speed surpassing his own.

"Beast Lin, your prowess seems weaker."

Lin Hai felt helpless, sh*t, he really didn't know her at all, right?

Yet, why was this little girl so strong and aggressive?

"Don't try looking all pitiful; even if your power has dwindled, I'll still crush your bones to dust!"

The little girl's voice was innocent yet cold.

"Damn, what heinous things have I done to earn such ire?"

Lin Hai hurriedly dodged again, only to have his sleeve torn slightly by her Gang Qi.

This seemed to be the result of the little girl not even using her full strength.

"Damn, who is she? I really don't know her."

Lin Hai was utterly perplexed, why did this little girl know him as Beast Lin and appeared so violently angry?

"Beast Lin, prepare to die; you deceived me at eighteen, condemned me for twenty-six years, today you die," the little girl suddenly erupted with an aura that even made Lin Hai feel apprehensive.

"Sh*t! Legendary level!"

Lin Hai's eyes widened to their limits.
