Chapter 47 (1/2)

Shiao Tianren came at a wrong time!

It was the first thought popping up in Lin Xun’s mind. Seeing all the villagers following behind Shiao Tianren, Lin Xun felt uncontrollably nervous in heart. They all carried a heavy bag on their backs, inside which was obviously the Feiyun Fire Copper they just excavated.

What troubled him most was that two little kiddies also followed behind, each holding a piece of Feiyun Fire Copper, which could not be concealed at all.

Thoughts flooding in his mind, Lin Xun went up to greet and smiled, “Uncle Shiao, please put all things down.”

Shiao Xianren nodded in a bit of a daze, then arranged all villagers to finish the job swiftly, completely ignoring the two strangers in the courtyard.

They all sensed something unusual. Though confused, they didn’t ask a thing. Even the two little kiddies were held by their parents to prevent them saying anything improper.

In the end, Lin Xun winked implicitly at Shiao Tianren, who led all villagers away after getting the hint.

“Feiyun Fire Copper?” Witnessing all this, Mu Wansu asked, “Isn’t it said that the small lode has been dug up long ago?”

“Miss, you may not know it. I accidently ran into the deserted mine tunnels several days ago and unexpectedly found that deep within the tunnel, there still remains an undiscovered vein.” Seeing that it was impossible to conceal the fact, Lin Xun explained frankly.

“This is a great fortune.” Mu Wansu looked at Lin Xun, eyes full of implication.

Childe Shi was also taken aback, “Spiritual fields, beasts, and Feiyun Fire Copper…This village really knows how to make money.”

Shrugging his shoulders, Lin Xun said with a forced smile, “You may not know it, but Feiyun Village lies deep within the Three Thousand Mountains. Even the nearest Green-sun Tribe is over one thousand kilometers away. Though we have spiritual grains, game, and coppers, it is never easy to trade them for real money.”

The Childe smiled, realizing that Lin Xun was worrying that they might get their hands on these goods. However, he didn’t point it out, “It is really a big problem.”

“Indeed it is.” Lin Xun sighed heavily.

The Childe pondered for a while, then took out a token and gave it to Lin Xun, “There is a Keystone Business in Green-sun Tribe. If you need to make some exchange, you can go there with this token.”

“Master, don’t!” Astonished in heart, Mu Wansu said, “This token is a symbol of your status, too precious to be given away so easily.”

Lin Xun had planned to decline it. But seeing Mu Wansu’s reaction, he was tempted in heart and took it firmly with his hand.

“It’s useless with me. I’d rather give it away. What’s more, there is no way that I, Shi Shuan, would take back what I’ve given away as a present.” Said the Childe casually, exuding an air of pride in his calm words.

Wu Wansu was extremely anxious, “But it…”

Waving his hand, the Childe concluded, “That’s it. Say no more.” Then he turned to Lin Xun and said, “Little bro, it is really lucky to meet you here. If you ever go the Forbidden City, do not hesitate to pay me a visit in Keystone Business. Good-bye.”

Saying that, he turned away and left.

Seeing this, Mu Wansu glanced at the token in Lin Xun’s hand, then glowered fiercely at Lin Xun, trying to make him give it back voluntarily.

However, Lin Xun ignored her glare completely as if he didn’t notice it. He turned toward the Childe and said with great sincerity, “Thank you, Childe. I’ll definitely return this favor one day.”

Hearing this, Mu Wansu knew that this brazen youngster was determined to take this token. Biting her teeth hard, she said with a lowered voice, “Boy, I’ll get even with you later.”

The minute she finished her sentence, Lin Xun immediately put up a frightened expression and replied with a deliberately rising tone, “Dear Miss, why do you want to get even with me? Did you get angry because I didn’t treat you well?”

As soon as his words came out, Mu Wansu knew that she was doomed.

Sure enough, the Childe’s voice came from afar, “Haha…Little bro, please do not take it to heart. She’s just joking. Wansu, let’s go.”

Mu Wansu felt extremely annoyed in heart, as it never occurred to her that this young boy would be barefaced to such an extent. Though angry, she still wore a warm smile, her bright eyes full of captivating charm, and said with a sweet tone, “Little bro, I just recalled that Green-sun Tribe is not far from Donglin Town, so I’m sure we’ll meet again some time.”

Saying that, she flickered away with her black dress swaying in the wind.

“Please rest assured, my miss. Given the chance, I’ll definitely pay you a visit in Donglin Town. By then if someone bullies me, I’m still counting on you, my sister, to help me out.” Wearing a bright smile on the corners of his mouth, Lin Xun said with a loud voice.

Mu Wansu, who just got out of Lin Xun’s cottage, couldn’t help gritting her white teeth while thinking of Lin Xun’s craftiness and impudence.

“You little jerk, now that you call me sister, I’ll show you what I’ve got one day!” Cursing silently in heart, Mu Wansu hurried away without any delay for fear she might not be able to refrain herself from beating this little brat really bad.

It was not that she was stingy. The thing was she knew it well that this token was way too precious, symbolizing not just her Childe’s status, but also unimaginable power.

Now Shi Shuan just casually left it to a village body. How could she not be anxious?
