986 Chapter 986
At this moment, someone called out to them. They turned around and saw a delicate young lady.
The lady raised her hand and took a note from behind Jiang Ming. She covered her mouth and snickered. “You didn’t even notice the note behind you.”
“Thank you, miss. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have discovered it.”
Jiang Ming lowered his head and thanked her.
“Why don’t you take a look at what’s written on this note first?” The young lady continued to cover her mouth and laugh.
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Ming looked at the note and realized that there were three words written at the back: Lin Family Academy.
He could not help but find it strange.
This should be the note from Lin Shu, but why did it have the name of the academy pasted on it?
“The residents here are all refugees from other places. They used to live a peaceful life here.” The young lady sensed their doubts and smiled.
“Alas, who knew that the Lin family would suddenly arrive and some of the commoners would disappear into thin air? The Lin family academy might harbor some secrets.”
Sikong Wuyuan felt strange.
“If they did harbor some secrets, why did Miss Lin expose herself? Did you approach us intentionally?”
“I’m telling you out of kindness.” The young lady pursed her lips. “Since you’re being rude, I don’t want to continue talking to you.”
As she spoke, she turned around and left, muttering to herself.
“Who are these people? If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have found this note. You’re really repaying kindness with cruelty.”
Jiang Ming’s eyes widened.
“Maybe Lin Shu didn’t put up this note, but someone else did.”
At this moment, the crowd began to march.
“The Lin Family Academy is recruiting people. Anyone who wants to study can come in for free.”
“Is the Lin family that kind to let people in for free?”
Sikong Wuyuan smiled.
After coming into contact with the Lin family, he did not feel that there was anything good about them.
“Do you want to go in and take a look?”
Jiang Ming did not answer his question.
Sikong Wuyuan did not understand. “Are we going there to study?” he asked curiously. “It’s not like we don’t know how to read.”
“We might find something we need in there.”
Jiang Ming looked at Sikong Wuyuan.
Since someone had stuck this note on him, it meant that they wanted him to go over.
He might as well take a look first. Perhaps he could get out of this place.
“There’s always a chance, right?”
Sikong Wuyuan was confused, but he still went with Jiang Ming.
However, as soon as they reached the door, they saw Lin Shu, who had been on the verge of death earlier.
She looked safe and sound without any injuries.
Sikong Wuyuan did not notice her and wanted to go up, but Jiang Ming pulled him down and brought him to a secluded corner. He pointed at Lin Shu.
“Why is the eldest daughter of the Lin family here? Didn’t we beat her up until she was covered in scars? Why isn’t she injured at all?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw Lin Siqing.
His eyes had completely recovered, and he was welcoming the guests with a smile.
“This fool recovered so quickly as well.”
Sikong Wuyuan wanted to rush up and punch Lin Siqing again, but he was stopped by Jiang Ming.
“Don’t be rash. Let’s see what the academy is for first.”
As he spoke, he covered Sikong Wuyuan’s face with his hand. Sikong Wuyuan’s appearance immediately changed. He became an old fisherman.
Then, he put his hand on his face and turned into an old fisherman as well.
“This technique is amazing.”
Sikong Wuyuan stroked his beard and felt that it was very realistic.
Jiang Ming secretly waved at him, signaling Sikong Wuyuan to leave with him.
The two of them stood outside the door and were about to enter when they were stopped by Lin Siqing and Lin Shu.
Lin Shu was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. She said gently and kindly, “Gentlemen, only young people are allowed to enter here. Please enjoy your retirement. Move, please. You’re blocking the way.”
“What do you mean? Can’t the elderly have the opportunity to learn? The Lin family is discriminating against the elderly.”
Sikong Wuyuan pretended to knock his walking stick as he said angrily.
He did not like these two people, so he had to make things difficult for them.
Seeing his sister being scolded, Lin Siqing was unhappy and pushed Sikong Wuyuan.
“Old man, what are you talking about? These are our rules. If you want to go in, you have to ask my father. What’s the point of talking to us? It’s not like we’re the ones who made the rules.”
With this push, Sikong Wuyuan fell to the ground and began to wail. “How can you treat me like this? I’m just an old man without any strength. Is this how the Lin family does things? Everyone, come and look at this.”
He started wailing louder.
Jiang Ming followed suit. “Exactly. Old people also like to learn. Why did the Lin family chase us away? They even scolded us.”
Their words attracted a crowd of people. Everyone began to talk about it, and they looked at Lin Siqing and Lin Shu strangely.
A fat old woman walked out and spoke up for Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan. “They didn’t do anything wrong. Why are you treating them like this? They just want to learn. Is that wrong?”
The rest of the people echoed, “That’s right. It’s fine if you bully the young, but why bully the old? The Lin family’s upbringing is very poor!”
“Even though they’ve opened up a school, what values will they teach?”
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, Lin Siqing was afraid that things would get out of hand, so he quickly went forward to pull Sikong Wuyuan back.
“Old man, you should go in. I was at fault earlier. Please don’t be angry.”
Sikong Wuyuan pretended to stand up, but he fell down and started shouting again.
“You said you’d let me in, but in the end, you pushed me down again. The Lin family is really smart. You keep bullying an old man.”
The crowd became even more agitated.
Lin Shu quickly helped Sikong Wuyuan up with Lin Siqing.
He deliberately used his spiritual energy to increase the weight of his body, and the two of them struggled to support him.
Lin Shu could not help but complain internally.
How could an old man weigh so much? He also looked extremely skinny.
Lin Siqing was frustrated.
Not only was this old man annoying, but his body was also heavy. When no one was looking, they needed to teach him a lesson!
“We haven’t eaten for a few days. We are tired. Can you help us walk?” Jiang Ming asked.
He had the same thoughts as Sikong Wuyuan. He had to make things difficult for the siblings.
