Wang Lin smiled bitterly.
The nearby guards’ faces lit up with admiration. That young man is so domineering! He took action at the slightest disagreement! It’s so satisfying to watch!
Lin Xun suddenly raised his head, cast a glance at the center of the team, and said loudly, “Big Sister Mansu, I have already helped you get rid of a big problem. You’re very cold if you still won’t show yourself.”
It turned out that when Lin Xun started beating up Lu Shaoyun, he had sensed a gaze from the carriage in the center of the team. He knew Mu Wansu was watching.
Moreover, how could Mu Wansu, the leader of the team, not notice such a big disturbance?
As he thought, Mu Wansu gracefully walked over in a black dress. Her stunning face was like a wild rose in full bloom.
“Hmph, what do you mean you helped me get rid of a problem? You’re not a reckless person so you must have ulterior motives to do so!” Mu Wansu shot a look at Lin Xun as she walked over.
Lin Xun grinned. “Big Sister Wansu, you have sharp eyes and can see through everything. To be honest, after hearing your reminder, I indeed need a favor from you.”
Mu Wansu said irritably, “Stop pretending, I know you’ve been scheming. Come with me.”
She turned around and headed back towards the carriage. She didn’t even glance at Lu Shaoyun, who was lying unconscious on the ground.Lin Xun smiled and gave a cupped fist salute to the surrounding people. “Everyone, can I ask you to do one thing? Please don’t touch this kid. I will take him away later, so this incident won’t cause any trouble to you all.”
Everyone suddenly smiled and cheered, “Young Master, you’re so righteous! We want to be friends with you!”
Lin Xun smiled and followed Mu Wansu.
Wang Lin quickly followed after him and asked, “Lin Xun, do you really intend to take Lu Shaoyun away? His father is...”
Lin Xun interrupted, “Don’t worry, a wicked person will eventually suffer at the hands of someone even more wicked. I can only temporarily act as a wicked person to deal with someone like him.”
Wang Lin was completely dumbstruck. Temporarily act as a wicked person? When you do something wicked, which wicked person can compare to you?
As they were speaking, Lin Xun had already mounted the carriage and sat opposite Mu Wansu.
Mu Wansu was preparing a pot of tea and filled the carriage with its fragrant aroma.
She was extraordinarily graceful and beautiful, and her skin was soft and silky. As she brewed the tea, every motion of her fair hand was incredibly captivating.
“Thank you. If you hadn’t shown up, my head would still be aching from thinking about how to deal with Lu Shaoyun.” Mu Wansu handed him a jade cup filled to the brim with tea to Lin Xun.
“Hey, Big Sister Wansu, you’re too polite.” Lin Xun smiled and drank the tea in one gulp. Then he said righteously, “How could I, your little brother, not draw my sword to help when Big Bister Wansu is in trouble?”
“What nonsense are you spewing now?” Mu Wansu took a sip of the tea and said curiously, “We only met here by chance, so why is it that you need me to help you with something?”
Lin Xun said with a smile, “It is indeed a coincidence. I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“What exactly is it?” Mu Wansu asked bluntly as she didn’t want to verbally spar with Lin Xun anymore.
Lin Xun pointed to the basket behind him.
Mu Wansu looked over and noticed a little girl sleeping soundly inside. She exclaimed, “You…you didn’t kidnap her, did you? I can’t help you with that!”
“Am I that kind of person?”
Mu Wansu said seriously, “You are—” But she couldn’t help laughing before she finished her sentence. Her expression was charming and graceful.
Lin Xun also smiled. Ever since he left Haze City, he had been attacked by one group of enemies after another. He was always in a tense state and couldn’t relax.
He felt much lighter now that he ran into Mu Wansu and chatted with her.
Lin Xun hated the Chi Family of the Forbidden City who caused everything. He even suspected that the Chi Family was the one who took away his Origin Aeth Artery as suggested from what Xue Jin told him!
Otherwise, why would the Chi Clan do everything they could to stop him from going to the Forbidden City after learning about his background?
Of course, this was just Lin Xun’s speculation. Regardless, the Chi Family was very suspicious!
“Tell me what is going on?” Mu Wansu asked while brewing another cup of tea.
Lin Xun thought for a moment and then said, “I want to ask you to help me bring the little girl to Haze City and ask Shi Yu for help. I want her to be escorted to Blood Kill Camp and taken care of by Instructor Xiaoman.”
Mu Wansu looked bewildered as she asked, “Can I know the reason?“
Lin Xun didn’t hide anything from her and explained the fact that he was being hunted down.
He spoke indifferently, but Mu Wansu’s expression turned solemn. Then, a puzzled expression appeared on her face. “Someone wants to prevent you from going to the Forbidden City? Do you know who they are?”
Lin Xun said nonchalantly, “Big Sister Wansu, it’s best to not ask about that. You just need to know that my enemy this time is very powerful.”
Mu Wansu frowned. “You’re still treating me as a stranger.”
Lin Xun smiled and said nothing else, but his eyes flashed with a resolute light. He couldn’t tell her as he couldn’t let her get involved.
Mu Wansu stared at Lin Xun for a long moment before realizing that Lin Xun would never tell her no matter what she said.
“Given your relationship with Third Young Master Shi Yu, if you ask him for help, maybe...”
Lin Xun smiled slightly. “Stone Cauldron Alms is not Shi Yu’s. Also, even if Stone Cauldron Alms come forward, it is unlikely that they can help me.”
Even Stone Cauldron Alms can’t help?
Mu Wansu’s pupils shrank and her heart trembled violently. If even the Stone Cauldron Alms can’t help Lin Xun, how tremendous is the force that wants to deal with Lin Xun?
After a long moment of silence, Mu Wansu’s expression turned complicated. “Kid, why do you have so many enemies? If you…you know it's dangerous to head to Forbidden City, then why are you still going?”
“I’m not the kind of person who stops moving forward because of some difficulties.”
Mu Wansu was in no mood to joke around with Lin Xun anymore. She pondered for a long moment and sighed softly, “Forget it. I won’t force you if you don’t want to tell me.”
“Then what about the thing I asked you just now?”
“Don’t worry, just leave the little girl to me.”
Lin Xun immediately felt as if a weight had been lifted off him. He gave a cupped fist salute and said seriously, “Thank you.”
Mu Wansu said irritably, “Whenever you’re polite, I get goosebumps and think you have other motives. So, don’t be polite to me in the future.”
Lin Xun nodded happily.
……
After chatting for a while, Lin Xun said farewell and left.
Before he left, he stroked Luoluo’s little head and said to Mu Wansu, “When she wakes up, tell her to bravely face reality and live on.”
“She’s only three or four years old. She won’t understand.”
Lin Xun shook his head. “The moment she lost her mother, she learned to grow up.”
After saying that, he carried the unconscious Lu Shaoyun and walked away in large strides.
“Hey, Lu Shaoyun has an extraordinary identity. Don’t kill him,” Mu Wansu reminded him.
”Don’t worry. I will take good care of him.” Lin Xun waved his hand without turning his head back and disappeared into the vast wilderness.
“Miss Wansu, doing that...will it bring trouble to Lin Xun?” Wang Lin asked in worry.
The corners of Mu Wansu’s lips curled upwards. “That kid causes trouble every day. Might as well have a little more trouble. What you should worry about is whether he will really kill Lu Shaoyun.”
Wang Lin was taken aback. But he couldn’t help but smile helplessly when he thought about Lin Xun’s personality. Lin Xun is always unpredictable.
……
As evening approached, Lin Xun clearly saw the outline of Yellow Dragon City.
Grand.
Ancient.
Majestic.
Those were Lin Xun’s intuitive feelings about the city. The rolling ancient city walls that stretched endlessly were bathed in a gorgeous hue under the setting sun.
Even though it was twilight, many people were traveling in and out of the tall and wide city gates. The city seemed very lively.
A loud slap and a burning sensation snapped Lu Shaoyun out of unconsciousness. When he opened his eyes and saw Lin Xun, his expression dramatically changed and he was about to scream.
However, Lin Xun said indifferently, “If you don’t want to die, follow me and do as I say.”
His voice was calm but the killing intent flashing in his eyes pierced Lu Shaoyun’s heart like a cold blade. He shuddered and panicked, “Where…where are you taking me?”
The moment he woke up, only Lin Xun was standing in front of him. How could Lu Shaoyun not understand his situation?
“Don’t worry, when I leave Yellow Dragon City, I will restore your freedom.”
Lin Xun strode towards Yellow Dragon City in the distance, “Oh, by the way, there is poison circulating inside you so you better follow me and not run away.”
Poison!
Lu Shaoyun’s face blanched, and he frantically checked his body but found nothing. However, the thought of Lin Xun’s smug expression made his heart sink again.
He didn't dare to not believe what Lin Xun said, because if he died from the poison, his life would be over!
“You...what do you want?” Lu Shaoyun asked anxiously and furiously as he chased after Lin Xun.
“Not much,” Lin Xun answered indifferently.
The more he was like that, the more suspicious and furious Lu Shaoyun became. He couldn’t help but hiss through gritted teeth, “Don’t go too far! If something happens to me, you will suffer!”
“Okay.”
“You…you…you’re too much!”
“Okay.”
“Bastard!”
“Okay.”
”Can you at least react a bit differently? I’ve never seen a person like you!”
“Okay.”
Seeing Lin Xun’s triumphant look, Lu Shaoyun felt angry, frightened, desolate, helpless and worried all at the same time.
He had never seen someone who didn’t care about anything and unscrupulously did whatever he wanted.
This was the reason why Lu Shaoyun felt despair. He felt like a fish that was about to be slaughtered on a chopping board.
