Wang Lin smiled bitterly.
The nearby guardsâ faces lit up with admiration. That young man is so domineering! He took action at the slightest disagreement! Itâs so satisfying to watch!
Lin Xun suddenly raised his head, cast a glance at the center of the team, and said loudly, âBig Sister Mansu, I have already helped you get rid of a big problem. Youâre very cold if you still wonât show yourself.â
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.
âHmph, what do you mean you helped me get rid of a problem? Youâre not a reckless person so you must have ulterior motives to do so!â Mu Wansu shot a look at Lin Xun as she walked over.
Lin Xun grinned. âBig 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.â
Mu Wansu said irritably, âStop pretending, I know youâve been scheming. Come with me.â
She turned around and headed back towards the carriage. She didnât 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. âEveryone, can I ask you to do one thing? Please donât touch this kid. I will take him away later, so this incident wonât cause any trouble to you all.â
Everyone suddenly smiled and cheered, âYoung Master, youâre so righteous! We want to be friends with you!â
Lin Xun smiled and followed Mu Wansu.
Wang Lin quickly followed after him and asked, âLin Xun, do you really intend to take Lu Shaoyun away? His father is...â
Lin Xun interrupted, âDonât 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.â
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.
âThank you. If you hadnât shown up, my head would still be aching from thinking about how to deal with Lu Shaoyun.â Mu Wansu handed him a jade cup filled to the brim with tea to Lin Xun.
âHey, Big Sister Wansu, youâre too polite.â Lin Xun smiled and drank the tea in one gulp. Then he said righteously, âHow could I, your little brother, not draw my sword to help when Big Bister Wansu is in trouble?â
âWhat nonsense are you spewing now?â Mu Wansu took a sip of the tea and said curiously, âWe only met here by chance, so why is it that you need me to help you with something?â
Lin Xun said with a smile, âIt is indeed a coincidence. I didnât expect to see you here.â
âWhat exactly is it?â Mu Wansu asked bluntly as she didnât 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, âYouâ¦you didnât kidnap her, did you? I canât help you with that!â
âAm I that kind of person?â
Mu Wansu said seriously, âYou areââ But she couldnât 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 couldnât 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 Xunâs speculation. Regardless, the Chi Family was very suspicious!
âTell me what is going on?â Mu Wansu asked while brewing another cup of tea.
Lin Xun thought for a moment and then said, âI 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.â
Mu Wansu looked bewildered as she asked, âCan I know the reason?â
Lin Xun didnât hide anything from her and explained the fact that he was being hunted down.
He spoke indifferently, but Mu Wansuâs expression turned solemn. Then, a puzzled expression appeared on her face. âSomeone wants to prevent you from going to the Forbidden City? Do you know who they are?â
Lin Xun said nonchalantly, âBig Sister Wansu, itâs best to not ask about that. You just need to know that my enemy this time is very powerful.â
Mu Wansu frowned. âYouâre still treating me as a stranger.â
Lin Xun smiled and said nothing else, but his eyes flashed with a resolute light. He couldnât tell her as he couldnât 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.
âGiven your relationship with Third Young Master Shi Yu, if you ask him for help, maybe...â
Lin Xun smiled slightly. âStone Cauldron Alms is not Shi Yuâs. Also, even if Stone Cauldron Alms come forward, it is unlikely that they can help me.â
Even Stone Cauldron Alms canât help?
Mu Wansuâs pupils shrank and her heart trembled violently. If even the Stone Cauldron Alms canât help Lin Xun, how tremendous is the force that wants to deal with Lin Xun?
After a long moment of silence, Mu Wansuâs expression turned complicated. âKid, why do you have so many enemies? If youâ¦you know it's dangerous to head to Forbidden City, then why are you still going?â
âIâm not the kind of person who stops moving forward because of some difficulties.â
Mu Wansu was in no mood to joke around with Lin Xun anymore. She pondered for a long moment and sighed softly, âForget it. I wonât force you if you donât want to tell me.â
âThen what about the thing I asked you just now?â
âDonât worry, just leave the little girl to me.â
Lin Xun immediately felt as if a weight had been lifted off him. He gave a cupped fist salute and said seriously, âThank you.â
Mu Wansu said irritably, âWhenever youâre polite, I get goosebumps and think you have other motives. So, donât be polite to me in the future.â
Lin Xun nodded happily.
â¦â¦
After chatting for a while, Lin Xun said farewell and left.
Before he left, he stroked Luoluoâs little head and said to Mu Wansu, âWhen she wakes up, tell her to bravely face reality and live on.â
âSheâs only three or four years old. She wonât understand.â
Lin Xun shook his head. âThe moment she lost her mother, she learned to grow up.â
After saying that, he carried the unconscious Lu Shaoyun and walked away in large strides.
âHey, Lu Shaoyun has an extraordinary identity. Donât kill him,â Mu Wansu reminded him.
âDonât worry. I will take good care of him.â Lin Xun waved his hand without turning his head back and disappeared into the vast wilderness.
âMiss Wansu, doing that...will it bring trouble to Lin Xun?â Wang Lin asked in worry.
The corners of Mu Wansuâs lips curled upwards. âThat 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.â
Wang Lin was taken aback. But he couldnât help but smile helplessly when he thought about Lin Xunâs personality. Lin Xun is always unpredictable.
â¦â¦
As evening approached, Lin Xun clearly saw the outline of Yellow Dragon City.
Grand.
Ancient.
Majestic.
Those were Lin Xunâs 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, âIf you donât want to die, follow me and do as I say.â
His voice was calm but the killing intent flashing in his eyes pierced Lu Shaoyunâs heart like a cold blade. He shuddered and panicked, âWhereâ¦where are you taking me?â
The moment he woke up, only Lin Xun was standing in front of him. How could Lu Shaoyun not understand his situation?
âDonât worry, when I leave Yellow Dragon City, I will restore your freedom.â
Lin Xun strode towards Yellow Dragon City in the distance, âOh, by the way, there is poison circulating inside you so you better follow me and not run away.â
Poison!
Lu Shaoyunâs face blanched, and he frantically checked his body but found nothing. However, the thought of Lin Xunâs 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!
âYou...what do you want?â Lu Shaoyun asked anxiously and furiously as he chased after Lin Xun.
âNot much,â Lin Xun answered indifferently.
The more he was like that, the more suspicious and furious Lu Shaoyun became. He couldnât help but hiss through gritted teeth, âDonât go too far! If something happens to me, you will suffer!â
âOkay.â
âYouâ¦youâ¦youâre too much!â
âOkay.â
âBastard!â
âOkay.â
âCan you at least react a bit differently? Iâve never seen a person like you!â
âOkay.â
Seeing Lin Xunâs triumphant look, Lu Shaoyun felt angry, frightened, desolate, helpless and worried all at the same time.
He had never seen someone who didnât 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.
