Chapter 231: Embarrassing Situation
Translator: Flying Lines
Edited by Lord Immortal
Lin Xun!
Lin Xun’s appearance clearly surprised Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu and all others. It had never occurred to them that he would be here today.
Did he also come here to visit the master of the house?
Suddenly, they became uncomfortable after thinking about the bloody action that had happened several nights before.
Although that incident was suppressed later, it was undoubtedly a great humiliation to their forces. When they met Lin again at this moment, they couldn’t remain calm at all.
However, they had long been warned by their elders that Lin Xun was not as poor as they had thought. On the contrary, he had a mysterious and powerful origin which they couldn’t provoke. In such circumstances, even if they had some prejudice against him, they could only restrain themselves and dared not make a second attempt.
Especially Qi Yunxiao, who had been taught a lesson by Lin Xun a few days ago, was stunned at this moment. His heart cried bitterly when he saw Lin Xun again. He just hoped that this fellow would stop looking for trouble on purpose like that day.
How could they provoke Lin Xun nowadays? They would be thankful if Lin didn’t make things difficult for them!
Seeing Wen Mingxiu, Lin Xun was greatly surprised too. He even doubted whether the old woman brought him here to avenge those guys on him.
Fortunately, the next scene let him feel relieved and confirm that this was not a well-prepared trap for him.
The old woman was also astonished at the scene, so she inquired, “You all know Lin Xun?”
Wen Mingxiu and the others looked at each other with embarrassment. Of course, they knew Lin Xun but the reason was too humiliating and disgraceful. They would not say it even if someone tried to kill them. But who would believe that they didn’t know him if they denied now?
No one at the scene was a fool. They could find some clues just by looking at their reactions.
“We...”
“This...”
Wen Mingxiu fumbled for words to explain.
Lin Xun smiled and interrupted, “We really know each other, although we had some conflicts in the past. Since they have been solved already, it’s not a big deal now .”
The old woman was experienced so she knew at a glance that it was impossible for it to be such a simple thing even though Lin Xun described it so.
“Granny Wind, who is he?”
From the other side of the hall, a young man from the Forbidden City could not help asking.
“He is the disciple of Master Xun from Mist City’s Commune of Spiritual Tattooists. I have invited him to repair a musical instrument for Miss,” Granny Wind answered casually.
Master Xun?
All the young guys from the Forbidden City were in a trance and immediately showed their indifference. At their level, a spiritual tattooist from the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists was not someone important. Not to mention that he was just an apprentice, he wasn’t worthy of their attention.
But Wen Mingxiu’s group was amazed to hear this introduction. They wondered when Lin Xun became a disciple of Master Xun.
The young men from the Forbidden City might not know it, but those who grew up in Mist City, clearly recognized the reputation of Master Xun in Mist City.
It came as a surprise to them that Lin Xun had gained an identity of the heir of Master Xun, which even perplexed them.
Why was this guy so mysterious?
Lin Xun remained quiet as if he wasn’t paying any attention. However, when he looked across the hall and saw the figure sitting at the head seat in the hall, his heart shook violently.
Shie Yutang!
Why was he here?
He tied his hair in a high-bun, dressed in a green robe with big sleeves, carried a blue sword, and sat there imposingly. He had a kind of elegant and unrestrained style, just like an immortal!
Lin Xun would never forget this person.
When he and Shia Zhi were being chased and hunted by a barbarian in the Three Thousand Mountains, Shie Yutang rescued them from the danger.
Shua!
Almost at the same time, Shie Yutang’s eyes also met his from afar. His eyes were like a pair of sharp swords, stabbing Lin Xun and waking him up from his thoughts.
“Have we met before?” Shie Yutang suddenly frowned and opened his mouth, which shocked everyone in the hall.
Shie Yutang, the most important person in this room, suddenly opened his mouth at this moment and openly talked about knowing Lin Xun. It was really an unbelievable thing!
Even Granny Wind was surprised. She looked thoughtful. Originally, she thought that Lin Xun was just an insignificant follower of Master Xun, but as soon as he entered the hall, he was recognized by a large number of wealthy people of Mist City. They appeared to be afraid of Lin Xun.
This was enough to surprise her, but it was unexpected that even Shie Yutang seemed to recognize Lin Xun, which was somewhat unusual!
Lin Xun took a deep breath, cupped his hands and acknowledged, “Yes, Childe Shie is my savior. About a year ago, in the Three Thousand Mountains of the southwestern border, you saved me from a barbarian. Do you still remember that?”
Shie Yutang thought for a moment and muttered, “So that was you.” But in a twinkling of an eye, his face returned to a cold expression.
Seeing this, all the other young guys from the Forbidden City laughed. At a glance, they knew that Shie Yutang had nothing to do with Lin Xun, since he had even forgotten that he had rescued Lin Xun. This undoubtedly showed that he did not take Lin seriously at all.
In other words, Lin Xun was not worth mentioning.
Thinking of this, those guys from Forbidden City relaxed, and even looked at Lin with sense of superiority.
As for Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu and others, they could not help but blame themselves for thinking too much just now.
Lin Xun didn’t feel angry about this. Anyway, he had to thank Shie Yutang for saving him once. As for being looked down upon by the others, he didn’t care much about what others thought of him.
Granny Wind looked around coldly and finally instructed, “Boy, wait here for a moment, I’ll invite Miss out.”
She turned her head and looked at Shie Yutang, “Yutang, come with me.”
With that, she took Shie Yutang and walked out of the hall.
“Excuse me, senior!” at this time, Lin Xun suddenly said.
“What’s the matter?” Granny Wind questioned without turning back.
All eyes were now fixed on him, wondering what he was going to do.
He asked something unexpected, “I just want to know if there is any place for me to sit in this hall?”
Granny Wind was startled, and then snorted, “The hall is big enough, so sit where you want!”
After that, she disappeared from the hall with Shie Yutang.
Seeing this, Lin Xun shrugged his shoulders and glanced around the hall.
Others might think that it was a silly question, but Lin knew that this problem was quite important.
The reason was simple. Right now, the seats on the left side were occupied by Wen Mingxiu and others, while the seats on the right side were occupied by a group of young men from the Forbidden City. Although Shie Yutang’s seat was empty, it was obvious that it did not belong to him. So, apart from the head-seat at the top, there was no seat available.
Lin Xun did not want to sit together with the two groups of people, but he also didn’t want to stand here and wait foolishly, which would make his situation too embarrassing.
So, he had to find a place for himself. He was invited to help, but if he was left here so casually without a seat, he had to wonder whether Granny Wind invited him to ask for help or just to deliberately humiliate him.
Fortunately, Granny Wind’s reply proved that her intention was not to embarrass Lin. With this in mind, he became calm. He found a cushion from the side of the hall, put it on the ground and sat on it. Then he took out a pot of wine and began drinking at will.
Everyone looked at him strangely. This guy was really brazen and not reserved at all. Did he really regard this place as his home?
What if the host here was to see Lin’s impolite conduct without manners and etiquette? It was totally embarrassing.
The descendants of the noble families paid great attention to etiquette and demeanor. Therefore, many people showed disdain when they saw Lin’s behavior at this moment.
Wen Mingxiu knew that Lin Xun was a person they couldn’t provoke. So they said nothing at his behavior. However, for those young men from the Forbidden City, his gesture was a little too much to bear.
Some people couldn’t help frowning and said, “Qi Yunxiao, we just arrived in Mist City. We know nothing about the situation here. Why don’t you give us an introduction? Who is Master Xun?”
Qi Yunxiao was stunned. After glancing at Lin, he roughly told the story of Master Xun.
The young man was Huang Jianxiong. He was born in the Huang Clan, a lower-grade aristocratic family in the Forbidden City. He was an arrogant sixteen-year-old teenager.
Hearing Qi Yunxiao’s explanation, he could not help sneering, “Since Master Xun is as powerful as you said, why his apprentice is so rude and disrespectful such that I have to wonder whether the conduct of Master Xun is also inadequate?”
It was very disrespectful to say this and scold a Master. After all, no one would directly question a teacher in front of his apprentice.
Qi Yunxiao was embarrassed at this question and he didn’t want to continue this topic. If he offended Lin Xun, the consequences would be serious!
At this moment, everyone in the hall noticed that the atmosphere had changed. The young guys from the Forbidden City looked at Lin Xun with a hint of teasing.
On the other hand, Wen Mingxiu and Qi Yunxiao were frightened. They didn’t want to get caught up in the storm. Whoever they offended would bring them serious troubles.
But at this time, Lin Xun took a sip of his wine, looked at Huang Jianxiong and shook his head with a smile, “To spray dung as soon as you open your mouth... Is this the etiquette your parents taught you? If so, I really have to wonder if your parents are the same as you—”
Bang!
Before Lin could finish his words, Huang Jianxiong, with a gloomy face, smashed the table with one hand and roared sharply, “You’re going to die!”
