Chapter 238 - Refining the Weapon (1/2)
Edited by Lord Immortal
Shue Jin jokingly looked at Lin Xun as if he could do nothing to interfere with Granny Wind’s business but only bless good luck for Lin, which made Lin Xun daunted and annoyed somehow.
Fortunately, Shue Jin analyzed, “If that mad woman stands at your side, it is not a big thing for you to cripple Huang Jianxiong. In fact, among those forces, the number of descendants is huge. Although born in quite a good family, they suffer a lot in life. Brothers want to kill each other and sisters become enemies for power and interests. You should know that vile and disgusting practices are commonplace in their circle.”
After a pause, he continued, “Huang Jianxiong ranks seventh and he is not a direct descendant of the clan. Even if he was killed, it can be turned trivial if there’s someone important backing you.”
Lin Xun nodded in understanding. He had also heard that the more powerful the family was, the crueler the internal competitions were. In order to strive for more resources, it was common for clan descendants to kill each other.
“In spite of this, you still have to be careful. For those young guys, your status is just too low, and you have crippled one of their companions. Their resentment is not so easy to be removed.”
Shue Jin reminded again.
Lin Xun sneered, “My status is too low? These guys just want to maintain their dignity and face. If they dare to pester me incessantly, I do not mind killing some to make them understand.”
Shue Jin didn’t nag anymore.
In fact, deep in his heart, he appreciated Lin Xun’s ruthlessness and his disregard for the origins of his opponents. Once he was provoked, he would kill his enemies at will.
“On the bright side,” Lin Xun changed the topic, “Before I restore the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, Granny Wind will not just stand by and do nothing. Her guarantee is enough for me.”
Shue Jin joked, “I’m curious how long it will take to repair this Ancient-rhythm Ocarina?”
Lin Xuan chortled, “That’s hard to say.”
Shue Jin couldn’t help laughing again and gave him a thumb up, “Good job, turn that mad woman into your guard. I really admire your courage.”
Lin Xun showed a puzzled face, “Did I do that?”
Shue Jin said impatiently. “Don’t feign innocence in front of me. Do you really think I don’t know you? I doubt whether you can repair this Ancient-rhythm Ocarina before Province Test?”
Lin Xun laughed and went to his room. He said, “That’s just what you said. I’ve never admitted it.”
Shue Jin refuted him impatiently. “Come on! I know your little idea! As soon as you pout your ass, I know what your shit is.”
“What a vulgar man!”
Lin Xu turned a blind eye and slammed his door.
Around the same time, e a string of natural laughter appeared in the quiet courtyard of Green-tea Pavilion.
Liu Qingyan’s shoulders trembled with laughter as her eyes bent into a pair of crescent moons. She said, “I didn’t know Lin Xun is so treacherous. It’s the first time that I have seen Granny Wind so angry but without any choice to counter him. Ha ha, it’s so funny.”
Liu Qingyan did not realize that Lin Xun could be so cunning that Granny Wind had to hold her nose to suffer a great loss.
In the past, the juveniles Liu Qingyan got in touch with were graceful, modest and courteous, and all of them were proud sons of heaven.
Only Lin Xun, who seemed polite but was actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing could succeed in one-upping Granny Wind. He really wasn’t someone ordinary.
But soon, when she noticed that Granny Wind was somewhat embarrassed, Liu Qingyan stopped laughing and secretly stuck out her tongue, saying, “Granny, I’m sorry that I let you be wronged.”
Granny Wind said, “I’m not holding a grudge, but since this boy dared to trap me, if he isn’t taught a lesson, I’m afraid he will be even more dishonest.”
Liu Qingyan couldn’t help laughing and joking, “Yes, you have to set him straight. He’s too bad to make my Aunt angry.”
Granny Wind stared at Liu Qingyan and said, “This is not a joke! You should be careful, miss. This little bastard is very cunning. According to my experience, if you don’t give him a hard time, he won’t be so honest in repairing the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina.”
Liu Qingyan was stunned. “But you have promised to pay him!”
Granny Wind sighed and said, “Miss, you have misread this little bastard. From my understanding, he will certainly help you fix the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, but he will take a long time to finish this task.”
Liu Qingyan was doubtful, “Why so?”
Granny Wind sneered. “It’s easy to know what he’s thinking. This kid is worried that after ruining Huang Jianxiong’s cultivation, some people will seek him for revenge. But as long as he does not repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, I have to protect him well. With his degree of craftiness, he will inevitably take advantage of this and let me be his shelter umbrella. So miss, do you think that he will repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina as soon as possible?”
Liu Qingyan was dumbfounded and said, “This is also a way for Lin to seek protection. After all, he is different from the descendants of major powers. If he doesn’t want to be troubled, he can only use this way.”
Granny Wind was alert at once. “Miss, why do you care about this bastard? You’ve only met him once! Do you…?”
Liu Qingyan’s face blushing, she grumbled coyly, “Granny, my reaction is the basic human nature! You’re thinking too much!”
Granny Wind was relieved. “Alright, then I am at ease.”
Liu Qingyan was still curious, “Granny, how are you going to discipline Lin Xun?”
