Chapter 320: To Make Troubles As Much As Possible
Translator: Flying Lines
Lin Xun lapsed into silence.
He should have been very happy to know his own life experience, but he was unpleasant to learn that his father was killed, his mother was lost and his grandfather and other lineal relatives were all killed.
A strong feeling of hatred surged in his heart!
Lin Family was divided by many powerful forces in the Forbidden City because of its clanman struggled for internal power and profit, which confused Lin Xun about who he should aim at.
Should he hate the incompetent clansman?
Should he hate those aristocratic families who divided Lin Family?
Or should he hate them all?
It was too pathetic to encounter such thing!
Lin Xun thought of the old man’s exclaimation just now. He couldn’t help feeling a bit sad. Lin Family met its external enemy and internal disorders and fell apart in the end!
“This elder, was Chi Family one of the forces who carved up Lin Family in those days so they would stop me from going to the Forbidden City?”
Lin Xun took a deep breath and asked.
“You’re right. Those aristocratic families who carved up the property of Lin Family do not want to see you return to the Forbidden City.”
The old man continued, “You are the son of Lin Wenjing and Luo Qingxun, your grandfather is the patriarch of Lin Family, so you are the most qualified successor of Lin Family after your father and grandfather are both dead.”
Lin Xun kept his expressions clam and his black eyes emotionless. He said, “They should not be afraid of my identity. After all, it should be easy for them to kill me.”
Some touch of appreciation flashed through the old man’s eyes. He didn’t expect that Lin Xun could not only keep calm now, but he could also find the key problem in a moment.
Seldom people could do this.
“Many people don’t want you to go back to the Forbidden City. But on the other hand, some people want you back. Those aristocratic families, including Chi family, are afraid of those forces who want you back.”
The old man’s words seemed to be a bit awkward, but Lin Xun understood them all at once.
There were two different forces fighting behind all this things about him.
Chi Family stood for the forces opposing his return to the Forbidden City.
And another force wanted him to return... Who would it be then?
The old man soon revealed the answer, “That force comes from royal family.”
Royal family!
Lin Xun was shocked by this answer. How could it be related to the royal family?
Imperial royal family represented supreme authority and status in the Empire!
“As for his name, I can’t tell you by now.”
The old man looked a little different, “You just need to know that a big wig in the imperial family support your return to the Forbidden City.”
Lin Xun was stunned and his thoughts were in a mess, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
A piece of helplessness appeared on the old man’s lips, “Because both Queen and I are not sure who it is.”
After thinking for a while, the old man continued, “Maybe he will come in front of you when the time is more suitable.”
Lin Xun’s mood fluctuated. It seemed to be too mysterious even Heiyao Shrine could not find out its identity.
“I’ve probably told you what I know. The rest can only be explored by yourself. After all, it’s all about you, so you’re the only one who has the chance to know more. ”
The old man felt relieved after telling all this to Lin Xun.
Lin Xun took a deep breath and cupped his hand, “Thank you very much, Elder.”
From the moment he left Donglin Town, he was arranged by the old man to enter Bloodthirsty Camp for practice, and then he was protected by Shue Jin along the way to the Mist City, where he won the first place of Province Test.
During his journey to the Forbidden City, the old man and Heiyao Shrine gave him a lot of intelligence help.
Now, the old man told him all the past events of that year and the mystery of his life experience. Lin Xun was deeply moved by such kindness.
He knew that it would not be so easy to get all this if he had to explore by himself!
“Look, the Forbidden City is there, not far away!”
At this time, the old man suddenly straightened his back and looked far away.
Lin Xun immediately woke up from his thoughts and looked up. His pupils shrank sharply with shock.
An ancient city was located in the far land. It looked like infinitly huge between heaven and earth.
In the sunset, the whole city was dyed with a magnificent and sacred color of purple and gold like a miracle relic that had existed since ancient times!
It could shock people’s heart by its magnificence.
The old man took Lin Xun to the ground slowly. When he looked at the Forbidden City in the distance on the ground, the scene was different this time.
The city stretched across the mountains with red walls and golden bricks. Its gate was so tall that it was 300 meters high.
When he looked further, he saw dense mountains floating in the air, surrounded by colorful gorgeous lights.
There were various ancient buildings built on the mountain, which were of different styles, rough, magnificent, antique or beautiful.
At a glimpse, he could see more than a hundred floating mountains!
It was hard to imagine how there could be so many mountains floating in a city and the buildings looked like in the air!
Lin Xun knew later that the floating mountains were the place where the seven top-ranking aristocratic families and many middle-ranking families in the Forbidden City occupied.
People called it Mountains of Aristocracy!
Only the aristocratic family could occupy one of the mountains and build it as the stronghold of clan forces.
This was a privilege belonging to the aristocratic families. It was also a kind of honor displayed to the world of their awesome rights and status.
There were seventy-two Mountains of Aristocracy. Therefore, those who could occupy one of them were the best among the forces.
Nowadays, these seventy-two Mountains of Aristocracy had been occupied by seven top-ranking aristocratic families and some middle-sized families with solid foundation. There was not any lower ranking forces could be found on the mountains. Even many middle-sized families were not qualified to settle down there.
When they arrived at the gate of the Forbidden City, it was already dark.
A black chariot parked there and it seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
The old man went straight to the chariot with Lin Xun. The driver delivered a sealed envolope to the old man then.
“Well, the result comes out so fast.”
There were two letters in the envolope. When the first letter was opened, the old man couldn’t help being surprised. He immediately smiled and said to Lin Xun, “Chi Cangfeng has been locked up. It’s impossible for him to step out of Chi Family in three years.”
Lin Xun nodded for knowing. Chi Cangfeng who came to deal with Lin Xun whose cultivation had reached the Sea Spirit Realm had already broken the agreement built with those big wigs, so he suffered such punishment.
But in Lin Xun’s view, it was more like an admonition than a punishment. It was useless to punish someone just by shutting up practicing in his own clan.
At this time, the old man opened the second letter. However, when he read the content carefully, he was immersed into thoughts.
Lin Xun couldn’t help saying, “Elder, is it related to me?”
The old man nodded. A strange look flashed in his face, “You’re right, this letter is for you.”
As he said, he handed the letter to Lin Xun. This letter was made from rare Golden Jade paper, which was printed with a cluster of burning Ziyao flowers.
Imperial royal family!
When Lin Xun saw this sign, he was shocked in his heart. On the front of the money and currency of the Empire, whether it was copper, silver or gold, there were three completely different patterns .
A green deer was a symbol of The Green-deer School.
A holy sword represented the imperial Academy of Spiritual Implement.
A cluster of burning Ziyao Flower stood for the royal family!
At the first sight, Lin Xun judged that this letter came from the imperial royal family.
There was only one line on the letter, “When you enter the Forbidden City, I allow you to make troubles as much as possible. But if you want to see me, you have to take the responsibility of being the heir of Lin family first! Otherwise, you should leave the Forbidden City immediately. I promise to keep you safe all your life! ”
Looking at the handsome and meaningful handwriting, Lin Xun clenched his hands quietly. He knew that the owner of the letter must be the great man in the imperial royal family.
This letter was also a test. If he entered the Forbidden City, he must take the responsibility of being Lin Family’s successor!
If he chose not to go ahead, he would have a life without worrying but he would never take revenge again!
It was up to Lin Xun to decide whether to enter the Forbidden City or not.
Next to him, the old man looked at Lin Xun quietly. He was waiting for his decision.
To his surprise, Lin Xun tore up the letter in his hand without hesitation and said calmly, “I’ve already come. It’s impossible for me to leave here even the God command me!”
“Of course, I’m also curious about the power of that great man that he could allow me to make troubles in the Forbidden City.” When it came to this, he curled his lips.
Knowing that Lin Xun had made his decision, the old man said earnestly, “Actually, I will ask your arrangement after entering the Forbidden City even there is no such letter. But obviously, I don’t need to ask any more.”
Lin Xun was stunned and asked, “Elder, so the relationship between you and the big shot in the palace is...”
The old man seemed to know what Lin Xun was going to say, he uttered, “We’re not friend but we’re not enemy either.”
Lin Xun pondered on the special relationship of the old man mentioned.
Soon, the chariot started, carrying the old man and Lin Xun into the Forbidden City in the dark.
This night, the Forbidden City was peaceful without any turbulence.
But many top forces knew that the child of Lin Family, who did not die past, returned to the Forbidden City tonight.
Some people were nervous about this, some frowned. But many of them thought that Lin Family was powerless to be afraid now since it had completely declined and disintegrated.
What was more, what could a teenager do in the Forbidden City?
