Lin Xun’s behavior was very abnormal. He didn’t seem angry, indignant, bitter, terrified or helpless. He sat there calmly like nothing had happened.
But the more he was like that, the more that Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu and the others felt uneasy. They knew very well how terrifying a person like Lin Xun was. The bloody massacre that night already proved that Lin Xun was absolutely not someone who liked to suffer a loss!
What is he thinking now? Just now, he luckily survived under the Mind-piercing Blood Crossbow, but Little Sword Lord Xie Yutang threatened him with a sword to his throat. How would he not hold a grudge?
However, in the eyes of the aristocratic clan descendants from Forbidden City, Lin Xun’s arrogance seemed to have completely faded. He was a tiger with his teeth pulled out.
They couldn’t help but smile coldly. A little trash of Haze City dares to go against us? How ridiculous.
Granny Feng walked into the hall. Her face was devoid of expression and she didn’t show her stance in the slightest towards what happened.
Only when she saw Huang Jianxiong lying unconscious on the ground did a look of disgust flashed across her cloudy eyes. “Take him away. Since he attached no importance to me, then don’t let him step into this place again in the future.”
She had expressed her stance with just a few words. Many of the aristocratic clan descendants' expressions altered subtly. Then, they relaxed.
This was normal. No matter what happened, Granny Feng invited Lin Xun to the residence but Huang Jianxiong disrespected Granny Feng and attacked Lin Xun. How would Granny Feng not feel like she had lost face?
“Granny Feng, don’t be angry. I’ll immediately take him away.”A young man rushed forward and came to the unconscious Huang Jianxiong, but his expression dramatically changed when he inspected Huang Jianxiong’s injury. He cried out, “Seventh Young Master Huang’s sea of qi is destroyed!“
Sea of qi destroyed!
Everyone was aghast. If it was true, it meant that Huang Jianxiong’s cultivation foundation was completely destroyed and he wouldn’t be able to cultivate again!
With a swoosh, Granny Feng came to stand in front of Huang Jianxiong and she probed him with her walking stick. After a moment, she lifted her head and glanced at Lin Xun. “A little ruthless.”
Everyone was certain that it was indeed true. Their gazes changed again when they looked at Lin Xun again.
An aristocratic clan descendant slammed the table. “Ridiculous, that boy is so vicious. We must kill him to avenge Seventh Young Master Huang!”
The others agreed, glaring at Lin Xun with unfriendly gazes. Huang Jianxiong’s cultivation was destroyed before their eyes. If his family wanted to pursue the matter further, they also would be affected.
Most importantly, they were all standing on the same side. Since a youngster of Haze City had destroyed their comrade’s cultivation base, this was a provocation to them all!
However, Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu and the others couldn’t help but inhale sharply. No wonder Lin Xun remained so calm. It turns out that he had wrecked Huang Jianxiong’s cultivation!
He…is so vicious!
Does he not know that he would offend the aristocratic clan behind Huang Jianxiong?
Even Xie Yutang was frowning. He couldn’t maintain calm and swept a cold look over Lin Xun.
He also didn’t expect that Lin Xun's attack would be so ruthless. To Huang Jianxiong, his cultivation being destroyed was worse than death.
Lin Xun turned to Granny Feng and said, “Elder, I’m here to help you solve a problem and not to die. Do you think I did something wrong just now?”
His voice was terrifyingly calm, without a ripple of emotion.
Granny Feng was silent for a moment and then she waved her hand dismissively. “The matter ends here. Take Huang Jianxiong away!”
A frightening cold glint flashed in her cloudy eyes and frightening oppressive power exuded from her body. She was akin to a volcano about to erupt.
Even the air in the entire hall wailed before falling into still silence.
Many people’s expressions changed, and no one dared to utter a word. They all knew that Granny Feng was enraged.
Under such circumstances, even Xie Yutang remained silent.
“Kid, come with me.” Granny Feng uttered as she walked out of the hall.
Lin Xun immediately stood up. He cast a contemptuous glance over the aristocratic clan descendants before he turned around and left.
His silent mocking was simply the greatest provocation. All the aristocratic clan descendants’ faces darkened. They hated the fact that they couldn’t tear Lin Xun to millions of pieces.
Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu and the others couldn't help but admire Lin Xun’s courage.
“Qi Yunxiao, let’s take this time to talk about Lin Xun,” said an aristocratic clan descendant, expressionlessly.
Qi Yunxiao’s body stiffened and he sighed inwardly. As expected, the aristocratic clan descendants wouldn’t let Lin Xun off so easily after suffering such a huge loss.
……
As Lin Xun followed Granny Feng, he couldn’t help but sigh. I’m still too weak, otherwise…who would dare to bully me today?
The title of Master Xun’s apprentice was enough to deter ordinary people from touching him.
But the title meant nothing to people like Xie Yutang, and it, naturally, couldn’t offer him any protection.
Ultimately, everything depended on true strength!
“I have seen many young people like you in my life. They are equally arrogant and do not know how to bow their heads, but most of them suffered misfortune in this cruel world.”
While leading the way in front, Granny Feng said slowly and somewhat emotionally, “If it weren’t for the fact that you were invited by me, do you think you would still be alive?”
It was unknown what Lin Xun was thinking but the corners of his lips curled upwards in an imperceptible arc. “I can only say that I am sure that I will still be alive. As for them…I’m not sure if they can leave there alive.”
Granny Feng came to an abrupt halt, turned her head and glanced at Lin Xun, “Are you sure?”
Lin Xun said indifferently, “There’s no point talking about it. You would only know if it actually happened.”
Granny Feng fixed her cloudy eyes on the handsome youngster before her. Only after a moment did she sneer coldly, “Young man, talk less in the future, so as not to bring trouble to yourself.”
Lin Xun shrugged and didn’t respond.
Not long after that, Granny Feng brought Lin Xun to a small quiet courtyard. Lush green plants, beautiful flowers and ancient jagged trees were grown throughout the courtyard. It was as beautiful as a painting.
A stone table was set up in the center of the small courtyard, and someone was already waiting there.
It was an azure-robed man with red lips and pearly white teeth. He was very handsome and exuded a regal bearing.
Hearing the footsteps, the man in azure robe immediately turned his head. Lin Xun also looked over at the same time and they both exclaimed in surprise, “It’s you?”
Lin Xun remembered that he had met the azure-robed man in front of the rune transmission light screen the other day. The man had left a deep impression on him because he possessed an Ancient Law Ocarina.
He never thought they would meet each other again.
Wait!
Suddenly, Lin Xun remembered that Granny Feng mentioned that the Miss of her family wanted an aeth tool repaired. Could it be...
Lin Xun took a closer look at the man, and sure enough, he found that the azure-robed man didn't have an Adam’s apple. She was clearly a woman disguised as a man!
Aware of Lin Xun’s shocked gaze, the woman smiled slightly and blinked at Lin Xun, as if she was saying, Oh you found out.
“Miss, do you know this person?” A wary look flashed in Granny Feng’s eyes.
She had found out that Lin Xun didn’t seem like an ordinary rune master’s apprentice. This was obvious from the reactions of Wen Mingxiu and other rich young masters of Haze City. Now, even the Miss of her family seemed to know Lin Xun. Someone didn't seem right.
Granny Feng had to be vigilant about the matters that concerned the young miss of her family.
The azure-robed maiden rose to her feet and said with a smile. “Granny, you might not know but I met this young master when I snuck out to shop with Ying’er the other day. It was him who suggested me to ask Master Xun to repair the Ancient Law Ocarina.”
Her voice changed massively. It was ethereal and clear like a stream flowing in a tranquil valley. It was indescribably pleasant to the ear.
Her voice was too mesmerizing.
“Oh, I see.” Granny Feng remembered that Ying’er had mentioned a bad guy they encountered a few days ago. It tuned out she was talking about Lin Xun.
“Granny, why did you bring this young master here? Could it be that he...he is Master Xun?” asked the azure-robed maiden.
She was breathtakingly pretty. Her eyebrows and eyes were charming, and her skin was fair and soft. Although she was disguised as a man, her heavenly sweet voice gave a different kind of beauty.
That kind of beauty was like a pure lotus flower. It wasn’t showy or flashy, but graceful and pure. It made people feel very comfortable
In truth, her appearance wasn’t unparalleled, but she had a unique elegance about her with her temperament, voice and mannerism.
Lin Xun introduced himself, “Miss, you misunderstood, I am Lin Xun, Master Xun’s apprentice.”
The maiden in azure robe was taken aback for a moment and then she smiled, “Young Master Lin Xun, I am Liu Qingyan. You can call me Yan’er.”
Lin Xun nodded, but then his heart trembled. He was struck by a flash of realization. “Liu Qingyan? Which Liu Qingyan?”
Liu Qingyan blinked, smiling brightly. “Young Master, is there another Liu Qingyan in this world?”
Lin Xun finally confirmed that the woman disguised as a man before him was actually Liu Qingyan, the legendary art cultivator who shook the empire and made many people go crazy!
Liu Qingyan’s fame in the empire was like the sun at noon. She had an unimaginable number of fans.
In many people’s eyes, Liu Qingyan was as dazzling as a goddess!
Lin Xun just didn’t think he would meet this legendary unrivaled woman at such a time.
