Lin Xun’s reaction at this moment was abnormal. He was sitting there calmly without any anger, unwillingness or panic as if nothing had happened.
The more nonchalant Lin Xun looked, the more Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao and Yuan Shu felt nervous in their hearts. They knew very well how unforgiving he was. The bloody massacre the other night had already proved that Lin Xun was absolutely not a person willing to suffer losses.
What was he thinking about now? Just after Lin Xun had survived the attack from Bloody Spirit-piercing Crossbow by chance, he was threatened by Shie Yutang, the Young Sword King, with a sword at his throat. Did he really not have any resentment in his heart?
To the young guys from the Forbidden City, Lin Xun at this moment was a complete failure, looking like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.
This made them smile contemptuously. How could this little disciple from Mist City dare to confront them? It was ridiculous and absurd.
At this time, Granny Wind also entered the hall. Her old face didn’t have any expression. She did not show her stance on the incident.
Only when she saw Huang Jianxiong, who fainted on the ground, did a trace of disgust flash in her muddy eyes and said, “Take him away! Since he does not treat my guests seriously, there is no need for him to step into this place again.”
This simple sentence showed her attitude. Many of the young men in this room were slightly upset, but they immediately understood the situation.
Even if Lin Xun was a country bumpkin, he was still a guest invited by Granny Wind. Huang Jianxiong disregarded Granny Wind’s prestige and tried to kill Lin Xun. If Granny Wind didn’t take any action, it would be a slap on her face.
“Don’t be angry, Granny Wind; I’ll take him away.”
At this moment, a young man stepped out to pick up the unconscious Huang Jianxiong. As he inspected Huang’s injuries, his face suddenly changed. He shouted loudly, “Huang Jianxiong’s Ocean of Qi is broken!”
The Ocean of Qi was broken!
Everyone present was shocked. If it was true, Huang Jianxiong would be disabled and could no longer conduct cultivation.
Whoosh~ Granny Wind came beside Huang Jianxiong and took a look at him with her stick. A moment later, she raised her head and glanced at Lin Xun. “You’ve got guts.”
As soon as this remark came out, people fully comprehended the situation. They couldn’t help turning pale and looked at Lin Xun with complex feelings.
One of the young guys from Forbidden City smacked his hand down on to the table. “How can you do this? This guy is so vicious. He must be killed to avenge Childe Huang!”
Others also clamored for revenge. Huang Jianxiong was disabled in front of them. If Huang Clan investigated, they would inevitably be caught up in the storm.
More importantly, they always banded together, but now, one of them had been disabled by a young man in Mist City. This was a blatant provocation and disregard of their dignity!
Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu and others had their hearts in their mouths. No wonder Lin Xun was so calm. He had disabled Huang Jianxiong!
It was really fierce and overbearing!
Didn’t he know once he did that, he would have utterly offended the forces behind Huang Jianxiong?
At this moment, even Shie Yutang frowned and could not keep calm anymore. He glared coldly at Lin Xun with his eyes like sharp swords.
Likewise, he had not expected Lin Xun to be so cruel as to maim Huang; it was much more painful than death itself for Huang.
Right then, Lin Xun looked up at Granny Wind and spoke flatly, “Senior, I’m here to solve the problem, not to die. Do you think I have made a mistake by coming here?”
His voice was calm without any emotional fluctuations.
Granny Wind turned silent for a moment, and then waved her hands, “This farce will end now; take Huang Jianxiong away!”
Her turbid eyes surged with a frightening cold ray, exerting a horrible and invisible pressure on the surroundings like a volcano on the brink of eruption.
The whole hall was in a stifling silence as the air screamed.
Many people had changed expressions as no one dared to make a peep. They all knew that Granny Wind was infuriated.
Under such circumstances, even Shie Yutang could only shut his mouth.
“Come with me, boy.”
Granny Wind dropped the words and walked out of the hall.
Lin Xun immediately rose up and glanced at the young guys from Forbidden City scornfully, then turned around and followed Granny Wind.
His silent mockery was a great provocation. It made all the young guys from Forbidden City furious and gloomy. They could hardly wait to kill Lin Xun with a thousand cuts.
Witnessing everything, Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu and others admired Lin Xun’s courage even more. It was hard to imagine what supported Lin Xun’s tough temperament in this situation.
“Qi Yunxiao, tell us more about Lin Xun while he’s away,” a young man from Forbidden City opened his mouth expressionlessly.
Qi Yunxiao turned stiff and sighed in his heart. There was no doubt that these young guys of the aristocratic families would not let Lin Xun go so easily since they had suffered such a great loss.
...
Following Granny Wind, Lin Xun could not help but sigh. After all, he was too weak, otherwise... how could they dare to bully him so much today?
In the eyes of ordinary people, the title of the heir of Master Xun was mighty enough to be respected and not to be easily offended.
But for Shie Yutang and his compatriots, this title meant nothing at all. Naturally, it wouldn’t bring any protection to Lin Xun.
The final analysis was that everything depended on his own strength!
“I have seen many young people like you in my life. They are arrogant and do not know how to bow their proud heads. But the cruel reality is that most of them end miserably.”
Granny Wind, leading the way in front of Lin, suddenly opened her mouth. Her voice was unhurried with some emotion, “Do you think that it is possible for you to live if you weren’t personally invited by me?”
Lin Xun seemed to recall something, as a faint smile emerged on his face, “I am sure I could live. But I’m not sure if I would have let them live.”
Granny Wind stopped in her tracks. She turned her head and glanced at him. “Are you sure?”
Lin Xun calmly replied, “It’s meaningless to explain unless I really give it a try.”
Granny Wind gazed at the handsome young man in front of her with her cloudy eyes and snorted, “Young man, don’t brag so much in the future else you’ll find yourself in a quagmire.”
Lin Xun shrugged his shoulders.
Soon after, Granny Wind brought Lin Xun into a small courtyard with quiet surroundings. The courtyard was covered with plants and ancient trees. It painted picturesque scenery.
There was a stone table in the middle of the courtyard. Someone waited beside the stone table.
This was a handsome man dressed in green with red lips and white teeth. He emanated a clean and pristine temperament.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man in green turned his head. Lin Xun’s eyes met his at almost the same time. Both of them were surprised and exclaimed, “It’s you!”
Lin Xun remembered the green-clothed young man. That day in front of Mist City’s Spiritual Screen, he was quite impressed by this person because of the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina.
He hadn’t thought they would meet each other again here.
But wait!
Suddenly, Lin Xun recalled that Granny Wind wanted to repair a spiritual instrument for her young lady. So that...
Lin Xun looked carefully and found that the man in green dress had a flat throat, obviously a girl disguised as a man.
The girl, dressed as a man, smiled and blinked at Lin Xun as if to say, “Ah, you found it.”
“Miss, do you recognize this man?” There was a touch of vigilance in Granny Wind’s eyes.
She had discovered that Lin Xun was not a simple spiritual tattooist as evident from the expressions of those playboys in Mist City. Now, even her young lady seemed to know this person. That was somewhat weird.
For the affairs related to her young lady, Granny Wind had to be vigilant.
“Granny Wind, I have seen this man the other day when I and Ying’er slipped out for shopping. He told me that if I want to repair Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, I can give Master Xun a try.”
The girl in green rose and said with a laugh. Her voice had changed a lot this time. It was as nice and crisp as a babbling and tinkling brook in a valley.
Just listening to her voice was enough to be intoxicated.
“Oh, I see.”
Granny Wind also recalled the incident. Ying’er had said that they met a bad person. She was actually referring to Lin Xun standing in front of her.
“Granny, how did you find this man? Is he the fabled Master Xun?”
The girl in green couldn’t help but ask. She was charming with a lovely face. Her skin was smooth and as white as milk. Although dressed as a man, she exhibited a different kind of beauty with her beautiful voice straight from heaven.
This kind of beauty was as pure as a green lotus, neither ostentatious nor vulgar. It was so beautiful and noble that people would only appreciate and not blaspheme.
Honestly speaking, she was not exceedingly beautiful, but had a unique style and temperament.
Lin Xun introduced himself on his own initiative, “You misunderstood. My name is Lin Xun. I’m just a disciple of Master Xun.”
The girl in green was stunned. She smiled and returned the greeting, “Hello, Childe Lin. I’m Liu Qingyan, you can call me Yan.”
Lin Xun nodded but was immediately stunned. He realized what her identity was and asked with astonishment, “You’re Liu Qingyan? Which one?”
Liu Qingyan blinked her eyes, smiling brightly and delicately. “Is there a second Liu Qingyan in the world?”
Lin Xun finally confirmed that the man-dressed girl in front of him was actually the famous artistic practitioner respected by many in the empire.
At present, Liu Qingyan’s influence reached far and wide and had countless fans. In the eyes of many young people, she was just like a shining goddess!
Lin Xun had never in his wildest dreams imagined that he would meet this legendary girl here. It was really beyond his imagination.
