Terrified and helpless, Song Zheâs voice trembled. âLin...Lin Xun, are you not afraid of retaliation from our Song Family?â
Wasnât that a stupid question?
Everyone couldnât help but laugh. Lin Xun has already beat you two up. Why would he regret it?
Lin Xun had quelled his rage. After a thought, he was about to say something when Shi Yu strode toward him. He looked cold as he said, âLin Xun, leave the rest for me to take care of.â
He crouched down in front of Song Zhe, his eyes filled with pity. âThe matter didnât concern you, but you had to come forward to stand up for Song Chongheâ¦why did you bring this upon yourself?â
âThird Young Master Shiâyouâ!â
Song Zhe had never thought that Shi Yuâs attitude would change and that he would become so rude.
âDonât get angry, I actually sympathize with you. Let me ask you, is your fiancée called Jin Rong?â asked Shi Yu.
Song Zhe fumed, âWhat are you trying to say?â
Everyone else in the hall was just as confused.
Shi Yu pointed to Song Chonghe. âHe accidentally blurted at a banquet a few days ago that he slept with your fiancée Jin Rong.â
Everyone was stunned. Shi Yuâs words were too vicious. He said that Song Zheâs fiancée had cheated on Song Zhe with his cousin Song Chonghe!
Song Zhe was so angry that his eyes almost popped out. âHow dare you spew venomous slander?!â
Seeing Song Zhe on the verge of going berserk, Shi Yu patted him on the shoulder and whispered pitifully, âYou better look out for yourself.â
To everyoneâs surprise, Song Zhe stood rooted to the spot like he had lost his soul. It was unknown what Shi Yu had said to him.
âSong Zhe, donât listen to his slander! Heâs lying to you! Why would I do such a thing?â Song Chonghe screamed in the distance.
âIâ¦â Song Zheâs face morphed indefinitely.
When everyone saw his reaction, they began to feel suspicious just like Song Zhe was.
Could what Shi Yu said be true? Song Chonghe is so despicable that he played with Song Zheâs fiancée?
Heâs despicable! Song Zhe is his cousin, how could he do that?
They found it most upsetting that Song Zhe was the first one to stand up for Song Chonghe. Song Zhe was indeed one of the most pitiful people in the world.
âShi Yu, Iâm not finished with you!â Song Chonghe was so enraged that he coughed up blood as he roared.
He felt too humiliated. Lin Xun had violently beaten him up and now he encountered another shameful situation. If this incident spread out, how could he lift his head up again?
On the other hand, Song Zheâs expression was extremely overcast. He wasnât himself anymore and seemed like he was suffering from torture inside.
âHoho.â
Suddenly, Shi Yu smiled coldly. âWho cares? Do you think I would be afraid of you? If Song Yi is here, it might be different but you twoâ¦are considered nothing.â
âYouââ Song Chongheâs face contorted with rage.
âYou donât need to say more. I welcome your retaliation any time in the future,â Shi Yu uttered coldly.
He was completely enraged. Song Chonghe and Song Zhe had repeatedly provoked his friend Lin Xun since the banquet began. If he didnât do anything for Lin Xun, he wouldnât be a good friend.
He said that to lessen the pressure on Lin Xun and to prevent the Song Clan from directing all the hatred on Lin Xun because he knew that Lin Xunâs present situation wasnât too good.
âGood! Very Good! I will remember this!â
Song Chonghe gnashed his teeth. It was unknown where he got the strength from but he struggled to his feet and swept a malicious glance over Shi Yu and Lin Xun before he stormed off with Song Zhe.
He had to leave after suffering such humiliation. If they stayed any longer, they would be humiliated even more.
âCount me in on this matter too.â
It was at that moment that Bai Lingxi, who had remained quiet all this time, suddenly spoke out aloud. Her voice was as clear and pleasant as the sounds of nature.
It stunned everyone in the hall, including Lin Xun and Shi Yu. Why would Bai Lingxi interfere at such a time?
She could offend the Song Clan by doing so!
Song Chongheâs and Song Zheâs faces twisted in shock and disbelief.
Bai Lingxiâs expression remained calm and detached as she continued, âThis incident started because of me. I canât stay out of it and do nothing.â
âWhatâs more, this is a gathering between students of Blood Kill Camp. Since a dispute has happened, I should stand on the Blood Kill Campâs side.â
After her comments, many people came to their senses. They somehow felt that Bai Lingxiâs purpose for doing so wasnât as simple as she had said.
Song Chonghe and Song Zhe were completely stupefied by Bai Lingxiâs words. They had already found Shi Yuâs resolute attitude unbearable, but now even Bai Lingxi wasnât on their side. They couldnât help but feel like they were crumbling apart.
However, everyone was most shocked when Zhao Yin also spoke out. âYou two are indeed at fault in this matter. If you want to retaliate against someone in the future, count me in too.â His voice was indifferent and calm.
Song Chonghe and Song Zhe were about to collapse. They panicked and their minds felt jumbled, not knowing what to do.
Lin Xun was a nobody. Regardless of how strong he was, he was an insignificant ant that the colossal Song Clan could easily crush to death.
But Shi Yu, Bai Lingxi, and Zhao Yin were different!
The power of Stone Cauldron Alms wasnât in the least inferior to the Song Clan! Additionally, Shi Yu had an extremely important identity and status as he was the son of Fortune God Shi. Even if Song Chonghe were to retaliate in the future, he didnât have much confidence he could do anything to Shi Yu.
Bai Lingxi had an even more frightening identity. Her grandfather, Marquis Jinghai, was an authority figure in the empire, and many relatives of Bai Lingxi were members of the imperial family. She had an illustrious identity.
Song Chonghe would never have the guts to touch Bai Lingxi!
As for Zhao Yin...he had the surname Zhao and was a true member of the imperial family. His great-grandfather, Marquis Bowang, was the clan brother of the current emperor!
How could Song Chonghe and Song Zhe not panic when they heard Shi Yu, Bai Lingxi and Zhao Yin all stand on Lin Xunâs side?
Song Zhe had to feel the most depressed and suffocated. Not only had he suffered a beating, but he had also learned that his fiancée had cheated on him with his cousin. And now, Shi Yu, Bai Lingxi and Zhao Yin all viewed him as an enemyâ¦
Was there anyone more miserable than Song Zhe in this world?
Song Chonghe and Song Zhe didnât know how to leave Precious Laughter House. As descendants of the high and mighty Song Clan, they had suffered from such a pitiful and pathetic situation.
â¦â¦
As Song Chonghe and Song Zhe left the hall, the silent and tense atmosphere was instantly swept away.
Lin Xun returned to his seat and Shi Yu ordered the servants to set up the banquet again. Everyone began to toast to one another, and the lively atmosphere resumed.
Everyone seemed to have completely forgotten the unhappy incident that had just happened.
However, that incident had been resolved the moment that Shi Yu, Bai Lingxi and Zhao Yin stood forward. No more waves would be stirred up as a result of it.
After all, regardless of how furious the Song Clan would be regarding the incident, they wouldnât dare to tear into the powerful forces and clans behind Shi Yu and the others. This was the power of oneâs background. Although it was invisible, it had a significant impact on many things in the world.
Of course, the way that Lin Xun acted seemed more powerful and domineering in comparison.
I donât care if youâre from the Song Clan! If you anger me, I won't hesitate to beat you up!
Ye Xiaoqi couldnât help but ask, âLin Xun, it was so satisfying when you taught them a lesson. but were you not worried at all?â
The others were also very curious.
Lin Xun shrugged his shoulders with a smile. âItâs useless to worry. I canât let them walk all over me, right?â
The majority of people werenât satisfied with his answer, but when they thought about Shi Yuâs attitude towards Song Chonghe and Song Zhe, they seemed relieved.
Lin Xun must have known that Shi Yu would stand up for him, right?
Among everyone in the hall, only Shi Yu and Ning Meng knew that Lin Xun wouldnât consider that much before he acted!
The two had already experienced this when they trained together in Blood Kill Camp.
âWith your current strength, you can easily pass the national exam. Why didnât you take it this year?â Bai Lingxi suddenly asked.
She looked particularly stunning in her white dress. Moreover, her illustrious identity made her become the focus of everyone in the hall. She immediately drew all attention when she spoke.
Many peopleâs expressions altered subtly and their eyes glinted ruminatively.
When Bai Lingxi had arrived, she had casually sat down beside Lin Xun.
Then, she came forward and intervened in the affairs between Lin Xun and Song Chonghe and Song Zhe. The reason she gave for her interference sounded reasonable, but somehow everyone felt it wasnât that simple.
Now that Bai Lingxi had initiated a conversation with Lin Xun, many people couldnât help but speculate. If it werenât for the huge difference in status and identity between Lin Xun and Bai Lingxi, many people would have wondered if Bai Lingxi attended the banquet specifically for Lin Xun.
No one noticed that Zhao Yin scrunched his eyebrows and his eyes flashed with anger for a moment.
However, Bai Lingxiâs question seemed to surprise Lin Xun. He stared blankly at her for a moment and then smiled helplessly. âI only broke through to the Spirit Sea Stage after the national exam ended. I donât think I could have achieved a ranking in the national exam.â
Everyone suddenly looked perturbed.
Immediately, Ning Meng exclaimed strangely, âDamn it, so youâve only been at the Spirit Sea Stage for around twenty days? Yet, you easily defeated Song Chonghe and Song Zhe?â
Everyoneâs expression turned strange. If what Lin Xun said was true, he really is abnormal.
He only just broke through to the Spirit Sea Stage, but he already possesses such powers. His strength is too astonishing.
Only Lin Xuefeng was still sitting calmly beside Lin Xun. He had witnessed Lin Xunâs breakthrough, which was an extraordinary spectacle.
Therefore, compared to other people, he could remain much calmer.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
While everyone was marveling at Lin Xunâs strength, a cold, charming voice suddenly rang outside the hall, âWho is Lin Xun? Come out here now!â
