Wu Lingqing doted on her son, Zhu Bingjian, with an intensity that bordered on obsession. She could not bear the thought of him suffering the slightest grievance, let alone being hurt. To her, anyone who dared to bully him was challenging her directly, treating the Zhu and Wu families with total contempt. She would personally confront the culprits, berating them until they apologized to her son. She had always believed this devotion was for his own good, yet for reasons she couldn't fathom, Zhu Bingjian grew increasingly resentful and distant, as if she had committed some heinous crime.
When he returned home injured today, her heart burned with fury. Without a second thought, she gathered her men to exact revenge. Regardless of who the offender was or what status they held, no one was permitted to lay a hand on her son. Under normal circumstances, with the force she brought, handling an ordinary person would have been trivial. She never expected that even Li Maoxun, a master of the Bronze Bone Realm, would be no match for Su Yan.
Wu Lingqing had never encountered such a situation and was momentarily speechless. Meanwhile, Su Yan surged forward, forcing Li Maoxun back.

While Su Yan handled the encounter with effortless ease, Li Maoxun was consumed by mounting tension.
