Chapter 297 - Maple Tower (1/2)
Proofread by Claire.KK
Green Willow Town was adjacent to Maple Mount. Most of the residents in the town earned their living by collecting medicine and hunting. They were not poor, but they were far away from wealth.
Like most towns in the Empire, Green Willow Town was small, but it was convenient. It had dense population, fast transportation and all kinds of restaurants, inns and businesses.
It was noon.
The Maple Tower, the most famous restaurant in the town, was bustling. There were young practitioners who tripped here, peddlers who ran their businesses all year round, and rich youngsters who sneak out to have fun.
All kinds of people could be seen here.
The restaurant was originally a special bustling place. People at every level gathered in one place, drinking and chatting. They talk freely about the news from the great events far away from empire to the small things in the streets of the city. All the news became the most exciting topics when they were drinking.
Today’s Maple Tower was as busy as before. But on the second floor of the restaurant, the atmosphere was differently quiet.
The number of population here was not little. On the contrary, most of the tables were already full of figures.
However, they were all drinking without talks, which made the atmosphere a little dull.
“What’s the special dish?”
“My guest, there are many special dishes. We have all food from the sky, water and the ground, such as braised purple-tail fish, fried green sparrow tongue and stewed delicacies…”
“I’ll have all of them. What’s the special drink then?”
“My guest, the Steamed Maple Wine in our Maple Tower is unique. Our guests all praise it highly.”
“Have a pot of it first, please.”
“OK, please wait upstairs.”
After a conversation, a tall figure walked up the second floor of the restaurant.
He was dressed in simple moonlight white clothes. His long black hair was tied behind his head with straw rope at will, revealing a clear and sharp face.
Behind him, there was a basket on his back. A three-or-four year old girl sat in the basket. She laid herself in front of the basket, looking around curiously with big black eyes.
This man, of course, was Lin Xun.
What he was wearing was just the clothes given by the little girl’s mother.
On the second floor, he glanced around at the diners who were eating on the tables. His eyes narrowed imperceptibly, and then he found a seat near the window with a smile on his lips. He took Luoluo out of the basket and put her on his side seat.
“Big brother, I want to play with Chirps.”
Luoluo raised her small face and looked at Lin Xun.
Lin Xun agreed and took Chirps out of his palm and left it on the table to play with Luoluo.
Many diners nearby witnessed this scene. Their eyes could not help but squint slightly, but they immediately took back their sights.
Lin Xun pretended to not notice all this. He smiled and watched Luoluo and Chirps. His attention was later attracted by the noise on the first floor of the restaurant.
“Shit, the spiritual shuttle fell and destroyed accidently. I heard that there are hundreds of people on it, including many practitioners!”
“I also heard that it was a few days ago that a spiritual shuttle was attacked by fierce birds in the sky when it was crossing the Maple Mount and all people on it died.”
“Are they all dead?”
“Of course, even if someone didn’t die immediately, how can he still be alive after falling into the dangerous Maple Mount as beasts ravage there?”
“This is the disaster of innocence.”
Hearing this, Lin Xun’s heart suddenly overflowed with an unexplained suffocation. Was it a disaster of innocence from a bird attack?
This was clearly a planned massacre!
But obviously, this news had been completely blocked by the enemy and they used a ridiculous bird attack to deceive others!
Lin Xun knew that since the enemy dared to do so, they must have no fear for people’s discussing. But he still underestimated the shamelessness of the enemy.
And this, perhaps, was the means by which those big wigs could deceive the world and covered the peace with a casual excuse.
Lin Xun was sure that even if he told the truth to others at this moment, no one would believe him!
After all, who would believe that the Battleship from the Empire would massacre people belonging to the Empire?
Just as Lin Xun’s mood fluctuated, a burst of proud laughter broke out——
“Dear Jiao, I can modestly say that in the Green Willow Town, if my Rui family claims to be the second place, no clan dares to be the first one! If you follow me, you will become the most remarkable woman in the Green Willow Town. ”
“Brother Rui Qing, I don’t want to be famous. I just want your care and love.”
A charming voice of a woman also sounded.
Lin Xun was suddenly stunned. Was there any people in the world boasted himself like this?
What made Lin Xun feel sick was that the woman’s voice was pompously sweet.
Immediately, at the entrance of the second floor, a young man in nice robe came up with a beautiful white skin woman next to him.
When they got up the second floor, they found a seat to sit down. The young man Rui Qing boasted about his family’s success all the time. The woman Jiao flattered him then.
