Whoo whoo ~ ~
Long lines of Spiritual Tattoo Shuttles were running in mid-air over Mist City, making strong whistling sounds.
It was early in the morning, and there were a lot of people out, swarming into the carriages. Lin Xun could only stand inside, bored with the talks around him.
It had been more than ten days since the battle took place in the Arena. The spectacular duel had been heatedly discussed these days all over the Mist City. People’s enthusiasm for it showed no signs of abating even till now.
On the contrary, Lin led a tranquil life these days. Everything went back on track for him. In addition to cultivating, he went to the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists to earn money by taking on refining tasks. He would also have a drink with Shue Jin occasionally.
It was obvious that Lin’s earlier speculation was true. After that duel, there would be no scion of the upper class who dared to go against him blatantly at least in Mist City.
This had no doubt made Lin feel much more relieved. Instead of encountering this or another trouble, he would just need to concentrate on cultivating and wait for the day of the Province Test.
“Ah Mei, how come Lin that guy be useful to you? Will he give you money to spend, or go shopping with you as I do, or adore you solely as I do?”
“Puff, so vulgar of you. Lin Xun is my role model. Do you know that all my friends are starting to admire Lin Xun now? I can’t fall behind.”
“Ah Mei, what good can role models bring to you? Have you ever seen Lin Xun? Do you know what he looks like? What if he’s a liar?”
“That’s enough! If you say any more of this, I’ll stop talking to you.”
Suddenly, Lin noticed that a young man seemed to be arguing with a young girl, and his name was mentioned in their words.
Dumbfounded, Lin was unable to control a laugh. When did he become an idol?
Unexpectedly, his action was seen by the girl, who immediately glared at Lin, “What are you laughing at? What’s so funny about it? I just like to admire Lin Xun. Bite me!”
Stunned, Lin Xun could neither laugh nor cry. Fortunately, the shuttle arrived at the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists at this time, so Lin turned around and got off.
He could still hear that girl murmuring angrily until he was off the shuttle, “Too scared to even answer my question, he just have no macho pride. This man can’t even live up to a tiny finger of Lin Xun…”
Having no idea of whether he should be happy or angry about it, Lin felt strange in his heart.
Maybe, this was what it felt like to be famous?
Lin Xun walked into the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists as he was thinking.
No one recognized him all along the way, the current dazzling figure in Mist City. Though no one would associate a young lad like him, who travelled only by Spiritual Tattoo Shuttles every day, with Lin Xun, who was glorious nowadays.
After all, the Mist City was so big that only a small proportion of people could get the chance of seeing Lin Xun with their own eyes.
And the Spiritual Tattoo Shuttle was the most common means of transportation, taken mostly by the ordinary people. Practitioners in the city would rather take a treasure chariot or ride a spirit beast than be with those ordinary people, so Lin’s chance of being recognized had been undoubtedly slim.
But this was better for Lin. It would be torture for him if he were to be recognized everywhere he went.
When Lin was about to take on tasks as usual after entering the sanctum on the second floor of the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists, Chu Feng came over enthusiastically and said in a mysterious way, “Bro, the Keystone Business is holding the centennial celebration in Mist City in a month. At that time, Miss Liu Qingyan will be present in person and will sing wonderful songs. Aren’t you having any ideas?”
Lin Xun was stunned, “What does it have to do with me?”
Chu Feng was so speechless at Lin’s words that he almost rolled his eyes, saying, “Bro, do you know how difficult it is now to get an invitation from Keystone Business? You can’t even buy it in the black market no matter how much you desire to pay! You can just imagine how lively Keystone Business will be at that time. It will be full of distinguished guests!”
Lin Xun said impatiently, “Neither of us got an invitation. Why should we care about this? Besides, I’m not interested in such an occasion.”
Chu Feng was not reconciled, wondering, “Bro, you’re now a friend of Miss Liu Qingyan and, you’re helping repair her Ancient-rhythm Ocarina. How come that you can’t get an invitation letter?”
Eyebrows raised, Lin Xun stared at Chu Feng for a moment, and then offered, “Bro, it’s you who wants to go! If so, I can go and ask for you.”
Chu Feng was instantly overjoyed. He was just waiting for these words. He took a deep breath, held back his excitement, and said, “Then I’ll be in your debt. Thanks, bro.”
Lin warned, however, “But I can’t promise to get you an invitation letter. Don’t get too excited.”
Chu Feng said smilingly, “I’m sure you can do it. If they don’t even give you such a favor, who else is gonna help fix the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina?”
Knowing that Chu Feng was set to count on him, Lin had a bitter smile.
“Are you sure you’re not going? It would be a pity to miss such a rare opportunity to watch Miss Liu Qingyan’s performance.”
Chu Feng could not help asking.
“I’m sure.”
Lin Xun shook his head. It would be the time to enter the third test of Green-cloud Path in Heaven-accessing Place in a month. How could he have the mind to do anything else?
No longer trying to persuade Lin, Chu Feng left soon.
Lin Xun also cleared up his mind and began to take on refining tasks.
Unlike the past, Lin was no longer confined to choosing spiritual weapons in the middle grade of Human-rank for refinement. Instead, he chose some of the tasks he had never tried before.
For example, some amazing weapons like thunder fireballs, tridents, and zigzag whips, or some equipment such as bosom protectors, cloaks, boots, and armour.
