Chapter 86 (1/2)
In the early morning, Mu Wansu sat in front of the bronze mirror and made up meticulously, believing that a beautiful woman would never show her floppy appearance to the public.
She was undoubtedly beautiful, mature and enchanting, like the seductive Charites.
When Wang Lin came for a visit, she had finished making-up and showed an exquisite feature with brightness and charm.
“What is it for in such an early morning?” she asked with a little bit surprise.
“It’s about Lin Xun,” without holding anything back, Wang Lin spoke out what he saw and learned last night while completely unaware of Mu Wansu’s gloominess in her beautiful and charming face.
When Wang Lin said he had helped Lin Xun kill a few sub-chiefs of Green-bamboo Gang, Mu Wansu couldn’t help interrupting him with coldness and blame, “Who allowed you to help him?”
After a short silence, Wang Lin said, “Miss Wansu, you ordered me to keep an eye on Lin Xun’s every movement several days ago. Yesterday, however, I found that Gu Yanping of Golden Hall had taken action before me. Do you know what he did?”
Frowning with impatience, Mu Wansu said, “Just come to the point!”
When it came to Lin Xun, she would just be ill-tempered unconsciously, without usual ease or elegance.
“Being an overmatch of Gang Spirit Realm, Gu Yanping guarded Lin Xun willingly as well as asked his own son Gu Liang to do so.”
Wang Lin sighed with emotion, “At first, I didn’t get it, but finally I realized that there must be something special about Lin Xun.”
Mu Wansu was completely confused with deeper frown, “What are you trying to say on earth?”
Seeing that Mu Wansu was obviously out of patience, Wang Lin thus said straightly to the point, “To tell the truth, Lin Xun owned more than one Flaming Spirit Saber and therefore he must have something to do with the mysterious ‘spiritual tattooist’!”
Mu Wansu was shocked, “How did you know that?”
She indeed cared about the mysterious ‘spiritual tattooist’ who was now being sought by all big businesses in the whole Donglin Town!
It was clear that whoever once manipulated this mysterious ‘spiritual tattooist’ would gain inestimable fortune.
Although Keystone Business was one of the top forces with firm foundation in the empire, Mu Wansu was clear that to gain ground in this remote Donglin Town, she had no way but to count on herself.
“Last night I saw Lin Xun give Gu Yanping a Flaming Spirit Saber with my own eyes.” Wang Lin said, “And this morning, Gu Yanping sent out news about the saber and caused quite a stir. Just have a check and you’ll know it for sure.”
Mu Wansu fell silent, and she knew that Wang Lin didn’t lie to her. She just failed to imagine how could Lin Xun build unusual relationships with a ‘mysterious spiritual tattooist’ in less than one month as a young man coming to Donglin Town from Feiyun Village?
This was too much amazing!
After a long time, Mu Wansu asked, “So, in your view, to find that mysterious spiritual tattooist, we have no way but to get along well with Lin Xun?”
Wang Lin nodded, “That’s right.”
He paused before continuing his talk, “You may not know yet, last night, Lin Xun killed the leader of Black-tiger Gang which was the biggest gang in Civilian Area.”
“You mean Tiger Lyu?” Mu Wansu was totally stunned, “Lin Xun is merely a practitioner at the fifth level of Martial Realm. How could he kill an overmatch of Gang Spirit Realm?”
Wang Lin nodded, “At first, I also thought it ridiculous. But later on, when I thought the mysterious spiritual tattooist who could create a Flaming Spirit Saber might have interfered the event, it all makes sense.”
Such explanation was also sensible, even Mu Wansu couldn’t help agreeing with it.
Although neither of them knew that what they thought was wrong…
It was easy to understand, that Shia Zhi had always seemed insignificant and been neglected for being too young and rarely showing up in public. Besides, no one would believe that Lin Xun could refine a spiritual weapon like Flaming Spirit Saber with the cultivation of Martial Realm. So subconsciously they believed there must be a master behind him.
And a series of misunderstanding resulted in many deviations.
In this case, even if the information Wang Lin gained clearly showed that it was Lin Xun and Shia Zhi who broke in den of Black-tiger Gang, Wang still neglected Shia Zhi directly and regarded all as the contribution of the ‘mysterious spiritual tattooist’.
Only in this way was everything entirely reasonable.
Mu Wansu struggled heavily in her mind. Rationally she knew that what Wang Lin said was true, but thinking of Lin Xun’s hateful face just dejected her a lot. Should she really yield to the sly and wicked bloke?
“Right, you did help Lin Xun last night, didn’t you?” Mu Wansu asked abruptly.
This was already enough for Wang Lin to realize that Mu Wansu had changed her mind. He nodded immediately, “Not exactly a favor, I just made some amends for previous fault.”
“Did that bloke appreciate it?” continued Mu Wansu.
Wang Lin thought over before he answered, “At least he didn’t reject my help.”
Mu Wansu nodded, pondering, “It should be for the County Test that Lin Xun came to Donglin Town this time. Well, go to invite him to come and meet me after the test.”
Wang Lin said with hesitation, “Miss Wansu, I’m afraid that…you need to visit him in person.”
Being in a daze for a while, Mu Wansu finally understood what he meant and felt frustrated and upset, and taking a deep breath, she eventually said, “OK, I will call on him in person by then!”
Feeling a little bit bitter, she finally yielded to that little bastard…
