Chapter 230 - Aristocratic Family (1/2)

Edited by Lord Immortal

Three days later, on the second floor of the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists.

Under the guide of Chu Feng, Lin Xun met the powerful old woman.

She was indeed an old woman with silver hair, old face and cloudy eyes. She looked rather ordinary with a black wooden stick.

But when Lin Xun saw her, at first glance, he felt like facing a volcano which was erupting, with its molten lava about to burn everything in the world!

At that moment, Lin Xun could feel his blood running cold, so much so that he felt a kind of unspeakable tension which almost made him suffocated.

His expression changed sharply. However, when he looked at the old woman again, the pressure disappeared as if everything he had just experienced was an illusion.

This peaceful appearance terrified Lin Xun even more. Since he entered the Ziyao Empire, he had seen many powerful practitioners such as: Yao Tuohai, a great practitioner in Southwestern Province; the mysterious Queen of the Dark Night; the mysterious old man who followed the Queen of the Dark Night; Shin Rutie, commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard in the Forbidden City; Shue Jin and Shu Sanqi.

The aura of the old woman in front of him gave Lin an unpredictable and immeasurable feeling same as those powerful men.

Needless to say, this old woman was absolutely a great master!

Seeing Lin Xun, the old woman frowned and said, “Is this Master Xun?”

Before Chu Feng’s awkward explanation, Lin Xun said, “I am a disciple of Master Xun.”

The old lady suddenly became indifferent and said coldly, “Master Xun is too proud. Must I invite him personally?”

“Don’t be annoyed, madam. Master Xun is eccentric and hates being coerced. His apprentice can do a lot of things.”

Chu Feng quickly explained deferentially, “This apprentice is favoured by Master Xun. He has developed exceptional skills in making spiritual weapons. I believe you’ll be satisfied by his methods.”

The old woman sneered, “What if he can’t solve the problem?”

Lin Xun laughed and said, “Whether a spiritual weapon can be repaired or not depends on what problem it has. After all, even a grand master of spiritual tattoos will not promise others that he can definitely repair something.”

Although Lin Xun seemed just a teenager of over ten years old, but the self-confident and calm manner he showed made the old woman see him in a new light.

“What’s your name?” asked the old woman.

“My name is Lin Xun, honored madam.” Lin Xun replied politely with a slight bow.

The old woman said, stunned, “Lin Xun? Would not your name offend your master’s title?”

Lin Xun calmly answered, “He once said that I was accepted as an apprentice just because my name was related to his. This may also be a kind of fate.”

The old lady sneered, “Master Xun is really weird, and even the way he chooses an apprentice is so rash.”

These words were really impolite. It not only mocked “Master Xun”, but also belittled Lin Xun.

Chu Feng looked anxiously at Lin Xun, worrying he could not hold his temper.

But to his surprise, Lin Xun burst into a brilliant laugh, “You’re right, Madam. I also feel that it was a bit too hasty for my master to make this decision. But there is no other alternative for me. He is just such an eccentric person.”

The old lady looked at Lin Xun meaningfully and said, “Boy, anyway, if you can’t solve my problem this time, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

It was extremely tyrannical and unreasonable to say this. Chu Feng was scared again, but Lin Xun just laughed casually.

“Let’s go!”

The old woman turned and went away.

…

Green-tea Loft.

This was a courtyard located in the central region of Mist City, covering an area of 3,333 sq.m. There were buildings, small bridges, pavilions in rows and exotic flowers everywhere like an exquisite and tasteful paradise in this busy city.

This courtyard belonged to the Keystone Business. Only with a large fortune of Keystone Business could one maintain such a first-class courtyard in the central area of Mist City, with each inch worth its weight in gold.

At this time, in the hall of Green-tea Loft, Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu, Wen Mingxiu and many other wealthy descendants in Mist City had already seated themselves in turn.

However, unlike previous times, these proud and arrogant descendants were now very low-key. They were even in a little restrained.

Because they were just accompanying guests today!
