Chapter 237 Playing Tricks

As Granny Feng watched Lin Xun depart, something came to her mind and she headed to the main hall of the Jade Leaf Pavilion.

As she had thought, before she neared the main hall, she already heard conversations and discussions regarding how to deal with Lin Xun and get revenge for Huang Jianxiong.

Granny Feng stormed into the hall with a darkened face. Her presence immediately silenced the discussions in the hall.

Many people were sharply aware that Granny Feng was in a bad mood. They shuddered inwardly as they didnt know what happened after Granny Feng took Lin Xun away.

Granny Feng ignored the terrified gazes and said bluntly, Lin Xun is now of great use to Miss. If anyone dares to take his life, dont blame me for being ruthless. Her voice was indifferent yet threatening.

All the aristocratic clan descendants scrunched their brows, seemingly unwilling.

However, Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu and the other children of the wealthy clans in Haze City were astonished. They had thought that Lin Xun would face imminent danger after destroying Huang Jiangxiongs cultivation and angering the descendants of the aristocratic clans.

Unexpectedly, Granny Feng came forward to help Lin Xun take care of the matter!

Its too unbelievable. What use would Lin Xun have to make Granny Feng want to protect him?

Granny Feng. That guy wrecked Seventh Young Master Huangs cultivation. Dont tell me we have to leave the matter at that, an aristocratic clan descendant asked aloud.

Granny Feng uttered coldly, At least, this matter has to be left at that until Lin Xun has helped Miss deal with the problem.

This sentence was very intriguing.

At that moment, Little Sword Lord Xie Yutang said aloud, Granny Feng, do we just need to ensure that he isnt dead? All gazes shifted to Granny Feng.

Granny Feng pondered for a moment and said, Yutang, come with me. As she was speaking she turned around and walked away.

Seeing that Granny Feng had repeatedly left, but the real owner of Jade Leaf Pavilion remained to be seen, someone couldnt help but ask, Granny Feng, is Miss Yaner

Granny Feng was first taken aback. Then, she realized something and said casually, Oh, you guys should return. Miss has something important to do today. Its better that you come back another day.

Immediately, many peoples faces clouded with disappointment. They had come all the way to visit Liu Qingyan and they had been patiently waiting for so long but they came to hear such a disappointing result. They immediately looked glum.

Damn it, its all Lin Xuns fault! someone complained, and sparked fury in the rest of the people.

Exactly, if that kid wasnt so arrogant and destroyed Seventh Young Master Huangs cultivation base, how would so many things have happened?

Miss Yaner must also feel very helpless. Otherwise, given her personality, how would she leave us waiting here?

Lets wait and see what Granny Feng has to say to Young Master Xie first, but no matter what, I wont let that kid Lin Xun off so easily!"

Discussions broke out in the hall, and many people gnashed their teeth in anger at the mention of Lin Xuns name.

As for Wen Mingxiu and the others, they stood terror-stricken in the hall for a while. They didnt want to get involved and so they left in a hurry.

They knew that they had to report that days matter to their respective clan elders. Lin Xun had an extraordinary background, and now that he had formed enemies with the children of the aristocratic clans, they had to discuss the matter with elders of their clan and express their stance.

Should they stand on the aristocratic clans side or Lin Xuns side? Or should they choose to stand neutral?

Their stance was very important. If they didnt express it and if something similar happened again, they would offend both sides and the consequences would be more than they could bear.

Lin Xun didnt return home right away but stopped by the Rune Master Association. He wanted to let Chu Feng know that the matter had been resolved and he neednt worry.

Chu Feng was indeed very worried. He had been incredibly tense ever since Lin Xun left with Granny Feng. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Hurry tell me, what does that old woman want from you?

Lin Xun thought about it for a moment and said, Just to repair a unique musical instrument. Fortunately, I am able to and so I agreed.

Chu Feng exclaimed, Musical instrument? Could it be that Granny Feng is the caretaker of an art cultivator?

Lin Xun seemed impressed. Big Brother, youre so clever. Im surprised you could guess from one sentence.

Chu Feng became more curious, Who is it?

Lin Xun said casually, You should have heard of her. Its Liu Qingyan, the art cultivator known throughout the empire.

Chu Feng quivered and his face glowed with a rare excitement. Its Miss Liu Qingyan?! Heavens! She actually came to Haze City earlier than expected? I am her loyal fan. I was awed by her song Water Dragon Sword when she performed in the Forbidden City. Its the first time in my life that I heard such a beautiful voice in the world.

Chu Fengs eyes blazed. Little Brother, have you really met Liu Qingyan? She...what did she say to you?

Lin Xun was completely dumbstruck. He couldnt imagine that the president of Haze City Rune Master Association would become a love-struck fool because of Liu Qingyan.

Does Liu Qingyan really have such tremendous charm? Lin Xun muttered to himself.

But he said aloud, Nothing much, we just talked about repairing the musical instrument.

Not only was Chu Feng not disappointed, but he also looked enviously at Lin Xun. Little Brother, do you know what a rare opportunity that is? Not everyone in the world can talk to Miss Liu Qingyan. Damn it. I really envy you, youre such a lucky guy.

Lin Xun was at a loss for words for a while. Then he said, If there is nothing else, I should be leaving now.

Chu Feng hurriedly said, No, there is one more thing, well...little brother, can you see if you can arrange a time to visit Miss Liu Qingyan together?

Lin Xun rolled his eyes, turned his head, and walked away. He didnt realize that someone like Chu Feng would be so obsessed with an art cultivator.

However, Lin Xun just didnt know that Chu Feng was already quite normal. Many more famous and influential people in the empire would do many more absurd and crazy things to catch a glimpse of Liu Qingyan.

Although Lin Xun thought that Chu Feng was abnormal, inChu Fengs eyes, Lin Xun, who treated the meeting with Liu Qingyan as nothing special, was more abnormal.

When Lin Xun returned home, the first thing he did was find Xue Jin. He handed him a bottle of Burning Soul Spirit. Thank you for today.

Xue Jin looked baffled. Kid, have you gone crazy?

Lin Xun smiled. You think I dont know? You were watching over everything in Jade Leaf Pavilion, isnt that right?

Xue Jin chuckled. You said it. I wont admit to doing such a thing. But then again, its nice that you brought me a jar of alcohol.

He lifted the jar and chugged happily.

Thinking about what happened in the hall of Jade Leaf Pavilion, Lin Xun frowned. Old Jin, how serious do you think the consequences would be for destroying an aristocratic clan descendants cultivation?

Xue Jin shot Lin Xun a contemptuous glance. Its been done already. Are you starting to regret it?

Lin Xun smiled. If I didnt know that you were there, I wouldnt have done that. At least I would have tolerated them then and would have settled things with them later.

Xue Jin exclaimed, That kid used a Mind-Piercing Blood Crossbow to kill you. Can you really tolerate that? Based on your character, you would definitely regret it if you didnt kill him.

Lin Xun grinned. Old Jin, you finally admit that you were there at the time, but you are wrong. I didnt intend to kill Huang Jianxiong because having his cultivation base destroyed is more painful for him.

Xue Jins eyelids twitched. Kid, you really are ruthless. What if Xie Yutang tried to kill you at the time?

Lin Xun asked back, Then would you watch him kill me?

Xue Jin glared at Lin Xun. You are playing with fire. When you pass the provincial examination, my mission will be completed. At that time, who else will save you?

Lin Xun said indifferently, Thats then and this is now. Just as I said, if you werent present today, I would have tolerated any humiliation and wouldnt have put my life in danger.

Xue Jin didnt say anything more, but all sorts of emotions were swirling in his heart. Lin Xun is indeed different from other young people. He knows how to take advantage of power when he has it. He knows how to judge a situation. It seems that, for him, as long as he can live, he will do anything no matter how shameless or despicable it is.

No one could be sure what kind of person he would become when he grew up.

But there was no question that it wont be easy for anyone to kill Lin Xun, no matter who it was.

Then, the two discussed the restoration of the Ancient Law Ocarina. When Xue Jin learned that Lin Xun had demanded a huge sum of money from Granny Feng out of spite, he could no longer contain his laughter.

He burst into wild laughter. That old woman deserves it. HahahaNice! Nice one!

Xue Jin laughed so hard that he almost squeezed tears out.

Lin Xun looked at Xue Jin with a smile, and suddenly asked, Do you know Granny Feng?

Xue Jin froze. He immediately curbed his laughter but he knew that he had to admit to it. He sighed, You are so good at playing tricks. You have been trying to get me to talk since the beginning of the conversation. Do you really think I dont know?

Without waiting for Lin Xun to explain, he said aloud, Granny Feng? Hmph, everyone who knows her calls her a crazy woman. The old woman is a powerful figure. You dont need to know her background. You just need to know that I will definitely stand still and do nothing if she wants to harm you. It cant be helped. Being pestered by that old woman is worse than having eight lives of bad luck.

As Lin Xun listened, the more uneasy he felt. A bad feeling rose in his heart. I have angered Granny Feng so much, if what Old Jin said is true

Lin Xun violently shook his head. He didnt dare to think about it. He comforted himself. A powerful master like Granny Feng wouldnt care about a junior like me...
