The faces of Qi Yu, Princess Linghuang and the others all darkened when they heard Lin Xunâs rude scolding.
They were there to attend a banquet tonight, and they had never thought that they would encounter Lin Xun in Precious Laughter House!
In the past, given Princess Linghuangâs haughty and self-important personality, she would have snapped already. But Lin Xun had become a rune founder known all over the world, and even the imperial family had changed their attitude towards him. How would she dare to start trouble?
The youngster before her was younger than her, but his status and power had far exceeded those of their peers.
Therefore, even Qi Yu, who was once forced to his knees by Lin Xun, had to forcibly suppress his resentment and anger.
Qi Yu took a deep breath and asked, âBefore you beat a dog, you need to find out who its master is, but you didnât care and wounded my subordinates. Lin Xun, have you not gone too far?â
Lin Xun!
The young men and women around Qi Yu and Princess Linghuang gasped when they heard the name. Their expressions dramatically changed as they realized who the young man in front of them was!
He was a fierce character known all over the world. Even powerful and influential figures wouldnât want to offend him.
It was understandable. He was too abnormal. He was recognized as the most fierce and savage person in Forbidden City. No one would want to go against him.
âAre you claiming that I went too far?â
Lin Xun frowned as he swept a cold glance over Qi Yu. âIt seems like you still think your servants have done nothing wrong?â
Qi Yuâs expression altered a little. Lin Xunâs gaze made him feel uncomfortable. Even though he was a Heaven Ascension cultivator, he still felt a shiver when facing Lin Xun.
It couldnât be helped. Lin Xun had previously subdued him in one move and forced him to his knees when he was helping Gu Yunting fight for the Kui Ox Horn. That incident had left a shadow in his heart.
He gritted his teeth and said, âOne who does not know is not guilty. Who would have known theyâ¦are your people?â
He glanced at the villagers not far away, feeling a little aggrieved. Who would have thought that they would be related to Lin Xun?
If they had known that earlier, they would rather hide as far as possible!
âApologize!â Lin Xun was too lazy to talk to them.
âYouâ¦â
Qi Yuâs face turned dark and unpleasant. He was a direct descendent of the Qi Clan, but he was being told to apologize to a group of villagers! How could he face other people if the matter spread out?
âLin Xun, although the imperial family doesnât intend to hold you accountable for your past mistakes, that doesnât mean you can act lawlessly!â
Princess Linghuang couldnât stand it any longer. She felt that they had been tolerant enough, but Lin Xun still refused to let them go so she had to say something.
âHaha, do you think you can represent the imperial family?â Lin Xun asked in response.
He had never liked the haughty and wilful Princess Linghuang, so her bossy attitude annoyed him even more. Compared to Princess Jingxuan, this selfish and wilful girl is really unpleasant.
âLin Xun, what do you actually want?â Princess Linghuangâs face turned livid.
âI already told youâapologize.â Lin Xunâs face was devoid of expression. âOtherwise, none of you can leave here today!â
They were at Precious Laughter House, and it was the busiest time of the day. The area was full of people, so the little disturbance had attracted many nearby people. They looked over and whispered to each other.
âItâs Lin Xun. As expected, he is as fearless as rumored. He doesnât even attach any importance to Princess Linghuang and Qi Yu.â
âHaha, interesting. Iâm glad I didnât come here for nothing tonight. This is going to be fun to watch.â
âWho are those beggars? Why did Lin Xun get into an argument with Princess Linghuang and the others for them?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âShh! Shut up! What do you mean by beggars? If you want to die, donât drag me in with you. If Lin Xun hears you, donât say that you know me!â
The beautiful waitresses standing in front of the Precious Laughter House were all frozen like clay sculptures.
Lin Xun!
Just now...they had refused entry to the young genius rune founder who had repeatedly caused sensations in the Forbidden City!
But why did he bring a bunch of villagers with him! Thisâ¦â¦
All of a sudden, the waitressesâ faces paled, and their hearts pounded with worry and many uncomfortable emotions.
Fortunately for them, Lin Xun completely didnât care about that and he never thought to lower himself to quibble with them.
However, he had lost his temper when Qi Yu offended the villagers of Feiyun Village again.
If he didnât do anything, they would think that he was easy to bully!
Therefore, Lin Xun maintained an extremely firm attitude. They wouldnât be allowed to leave if they didnât apologize. He didnât care if he created a scene!
He wasnât the slightest bit worried that anyone else in the Forbidden City would dare to harm him.
âAre you sure you want to be so aggressive?â Qi Yuâs voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between his teeth. Lin Xun had told them to apologize to the villagers in front of so many people.
âWhat? Do you want to fight?â Lin Xunâs black eyes flashed coldly.
âYouâ¦â
Qi Yu was about to go crazy. Lin Xun was too difficult to deal with. He was like a stinking and tough stone in a ditch.
At the same time, he was a little fearful. He had already lost face when Lin Xun defeated him last time and couldnât hold his head up in the True Martial Department anymore. If he got into a fight with Lin Xun again and lost, then he would have to bury his head in shame.
Village Chief Xiao Tianren stepped forward and whispered, âLin Xun, letâs leave it.â He didnât want Lin Xun to offend so many people because of them.
The other villagers nodded. How could they not tell that Lin Xun was standing up for them? But they could also tell that the group of young women and men had extraordinary identities and status, so they didnât want Lin Xun to be in a difficult situation because of them.
Lin Xun sighed inwardly. The villagers were very simple people, and they would rather suffer by themselves than see him anger other people.
âIf you do something wrong, you apologize,â a resounding voice suddenly rang in the distance.
The person who dared to speak out at such a time had to be an extraordinary person, so the voice immediately drew everyoneâs attention.
It was a thin middle-aged man in a gray robe. His face was sharp and manly, and his inconspicuous body seemed to conceal a volcano that could erupt at any time.
Sea Subdue King Zhao Jiuxiao!
Many people gasped. The legendary prince had suddenly come, but he unexpectedly was not standing on Princess Linghuangâs side!
Many people were shocked!
âUncle, I wonât apologize. Did you see what that guy did!?â Princess Linguang sounded aggrieved.
Zhao Jiuxiao looked taken aback. He was clearly a little helpless as he sighed out loud. He looked at Lin Xun and said, âLittle friend Lin Xun, how about I apologize on their behalf?â
Whoa!
The audience broke into an uproar.
Zhao Jiuxiao! He is the high and mighty Sea Subdue King! I canât believe he would apologize to a junior in order to resolve the dispute!
âElder, since you made such a suggestion, how would I not listen? I just hope that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future,â Lin Xun said solemnly.
He had to leave the matter at that. Zhao Jiuxiao was here, so how could he refuse to let it go?
Zhao Jiuxiao nodded. âOf course.â
âSince this matter has been resolved, I will leave now.â
Lin Xun didnât want to stay any longer. It was getting late so he wanted to quickly find a place for the villagers to fill their stomachs.
He had a cultivation base so he could skip meals, but the villagers were ordinary people.
âWait!â
However, Zhao Jiuxiao said aloud, âYou brought so many people here, but why are you leaving before eating inside?â
Before Lin Xun could explain, an old man who looked like the manager hurried over to whisper something in Zhao Jiuxiaoâs ear.
Understanding dawned on Zhao Jiuxiaoâs face and then he indifferently said to him, âGo and deal with the matter, and remember to give me a satisfactory answer.â
He stepped forward and smiled at Lin Xun, âI already know what happened. Letâs go, I will arrange a place for you guys.â
Lin Xun shook his head. âForget it, itâs the same wherever we go.â
A wry smile appeared on Zhao Jiuxiaoâs lips, and he whispered, âLittle guy, Precious Laughter House belongs to me. If the world finds out that you and your friends were turned away, I would lose face!â
Lin Xun was taken aback. He had never thought that the boss behind Precious Laughter House would be Sea Subdue King Zhao Jiuxiao!
Immediately, his eyes were filled with realization. No wonder this place is so famous and no one has ever dared to stir trouble here. It turns out that it has the support of Sea Subdue King.
âThen, thank you,â Lin Xun readily agreed.
âHahaha, letâs go. Last time, I had to smash the pots to gather more than one million gold coins to pay for my bid. I want to take this opportunity to have a chat with you.â Zhao Jiuxiao laughed.
He led Lin Xun and all the villagers of Feiyun Village into the Precious Laughter House.
Seeing that, everyone marveled. Thatâs Lin Xun. If it were anyone else, would Sea Subdue King Zhao Jiuxiao treat them so respectfully?
Princess Linghuang and Qi Yu looked glum for a while. In the end, they had no choice but to swallow their anger. They had no other choice. They no longer had the power to compete with Lin Xun.
As they stepped into Precious Laughter House, the old manager who had previously talked to Sea Subdue King Zhao Jiuxiao strode to the door and calmly glanced at the dozen beautiful waitresses.
His voice was devoid of emotions, âYou saw what happened just now. I need a satisfactory answer.â
The waitresses turned deathly pale, realizing that they had made a huge mistake.
