Chapter 57 (1/2)

Donglin Town. Full of beauty, wisdom and stratagem, she was seldomly out of control like that, which was the exact reason why she deserved the name “Black Rose”.

However, since she met Lin Xun, she found that all her stratagems were useless. She was very unlucky every time, constantly being taken advantage of. She could do nothing about it, feeling only intolerance, anger and bitterness.

These feelings made grievances and anger accumulate in her heart. At the moment, seeing Lin Xun’s foxy and deceitful face, Mu Wansu could not help but vent her indignation.

However, Lin Xun looked as if nothing had happened and sighed, “My elder sister, it must be known by senior Yan Zhen. Otherwise I’m afraid some other misunderstandings will appear.”

Mu Wansu froze for a moment and thought to herself, “What does he mean? Does he think I already know what he wants to say?”

But soon, Mu Wansu understood the purpose of these words.

Hearing that, Yan Zhen’s face became serious and replied, “Now that Wansu also knows it, please speak about it directly. Please don’t worry about any misunderstanding, even though it may lead to big trouble as we must discuss a countermeasure to deal with it.”

Mu Wansu was rendered totally speechless by Yan Zhen’s perfect cooperation…

Lin Xun also looked serious, taking a deep breath as he prepared to say something. At the same moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which made Lin Xun involuntarily frown. But Mu Wansu laughed, feeling that god was helping her!

Yan Zhen stood up and whispered, “How dare someone knock at such a time. It must be something really urgent.” With this, he opened the door.

Outside the door stood a servant, with a surprised and bewildered face.

“What happened?” Yan Zhen asked directly.

“Your excellency, Wu Deyong, the shopkeeper of Wu Business, has come with lots of people, insisting that we hand over a person to them.” The servant answered.

Yan Zhen felt confused and his face suddenly turned sullen, “Who should I give to them? Is he finding fault with me?”

Lin Xun stood up at once and said to Yan Zhen helplessly, “Senior Yan, I guess they have come for me.”

The smile hanging on the corners of Mu Wansu’s mouth froze immediately. By now, she clearly knew that the next thing Lin Xun was about to say was related to Wu Business.

Being tricked by this foxy boy once again, Mu Wansu gnashed her teeth with hatred!

But then she heard Yan Zhen asking with surprise, “They came to get you? What for?”

Lin Xun quickly told the story about Wu Henshui and insisted that Wu Henshui was killed by the cornered villagers because he forcibly occupied all the spiritual lands and fire-copper mountains of Feiyun Village. Meanwhile, he also confessed that he was chased by the Wu Business as soon as he came to Green-sun Tribe, leaving him no choice but to ask for the help of Keystone Business.

Hearing that, Yan Zhen frowned and said, “So I see.”

But he also thought it was a hot potato. The backstage host of Wu Business was a big shot in Donglin Town, a local villain that even the Keystone Business was unwilling to create a hostile relationship with.

But at the thought of the relationship between Lin Xun and their big Childe, Shi Xuan, Yan Zhen had a clearer idea why he must help, even with the heavy costs.

For a while, Yan Zhen also hesitated, instinctively his sights moved to Mu Wansu.

“Such a foxy boy, getting into such big trouble after only a few days in Green-sun Tribe. Will the big Childe regret gifting out the token if he knows of this affair?” Mu Wansu thought, which made her also feel troubled.

Deep in her heart, Mu Wansu eagerly looked forward to handing over Lin Xun to Wu Business for the simple matter of revenge. But she could only dream of doing this because it was not allowed in the real situation.

Mu Wansu sighed and thought, “Fine, just help him one more time. If he still pushes his luck, I must set a clear boundary with him even if it means being blamed by the big Childe.”

Making up her mind, a sharp and decisive expression appeared among Mu Wansu’s eyebrows. She then said firmly, “Tell them, Yan Zhen, Lin Xun is one of our Keystone Business, let them behave themselves!”

Silently understanding it, Yan Zhen left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Lin Xun said, “Sister Wansu, what I care about is the safety of the whole village, my own safety doesn’t matter. If their anger is vented towards the villagers, I’d rather refuse your help.” At the end of his words, you could tell by his expression he was determined.

Staring at Lin Xun for a long time, Mu Wansu nodded in approval and said, “Though you gave me a bad impression, I can promise you that I will never let it affect Feiyun Village, especially with what you just said.”

Lin Xun cupped his hands and saluted respectfully, “Thanks a lot. I will remember your kindness and return it tenfold in the future!”

Seeing his serious look, Mu Wansu felt a little strange. Then she waved her hand and said, “I don’t expect your reward. I just hope you do not make trouble for me.”

Lin Xun nodded his head silently.

It was a big taboo to have a hearty talk with a slight acquaintance. Knowing what he did today was an imposition to others, he knew he had no choice considering the fate of the people in Feiyun Village or the need to find a temporary shelter for himself.

Soon, Yan Zhen came back with smile, “It has been solved. Even with a big shot behind him, a coward like Wu Deyong still needs to concede when confronted with our Keystone Business.”

Lin Xun stood up once again to express his gratitude to Yan Zhen and then left.
