Chapter 345: Reactions of People
Translator: Flying Lines
Proofread by Claire.KK
There was a constant uproar in the field. Every face was full of surprise, shock and complexity.
There were so many things worth discussing about Lin Xun. In other words, there were so many gimmicks in this news.
Some people were attracted by Lin Xun’s accomplishments and achievements. They thought that he was absolutely a genius to get the first place in the Test of the Southwest Province at the age of fourteen in Human-gang Realm.
Some people were attracted by Lin Xun’s identity. No one had expected that he was the lineal descendant of Lin Daochen, a Life-death Realm strongman who was famous in the world 500 years ago!
More people were concerned about Lin Xun’s current situation.
Although he was the only one who was qualified to inherit Heart-cleansing Peak, one of 72 Peaks of Influential, it was clear that Lin Xun’s situation was not as good as it seemed to be, as long as others knew about the bloody event more than ten years ago.
On the contrary, Lin Xun would fall into a dangerous storm whirlpool because of his identity!
“Who spread the news? Obviously it’s carefully prepared. Otherwise, it’s impossible to cause so much discussion.”
In the street, Young Ke frowned.
Seeing people in the field discussing vigorously, Young Ke believed that the story about Lin Xun would spread to all the Forbidden City in one night in an incredible speed.
How much noise and attention would be aroused at that time?
Everything had two sides. She wondered whether it was good or bad for Lin Xun!
“The news that came out of the light curtain every day was strictly screened. If someone had not pushed it in the dark, the news about Lin Xun would not have been so publicized.”
In the wheelchair, a wit light was shining in Vulture’s clear and calm eyes, “I even doubt that Lin Xun offered this information.”
Young Ke was confused, “How is this possible?”
Vulture smiled and said, “Do you remember the day before yesterday when I first met Lin Xun? He was so confident to ensure that everyone in the Forbidden City would know his name within a month.”
After a pause, he continued, “If he broadcasted himself through the light curtain, of course he could make his word real. We could infer that Lin Xun must have an inseparable relationship with tonight’s news even if he didn’t do it himself.”
A strange color appeared in Young Ke’s clear eyes, “If so, do you mean that Lin Xun had more cards that we didn’t know? After all, as you said just now, the news from the light curtain had been strictly controlled. I’m afraid that Lin Xun couldn’t achieve this step by his single strength.”
Vulture nodded and said, “Young Ke, I have to remind you that Lin Xun’s life experience was a little complicated. He not only entered Bloodthirsty Camp, you know, Heiyao Shrine also stood behind him.”
“What’s more, he is the only heir of Lin Family. No one dares to uncover the cause of what happened to his parents and relatives as always, which is very unusual.”
“I also cannot understand the attitude of the imperial family. Isn’t it strange that Heart-cleansing Peak hasn’t been taken away since it has been abandoned for more than ten years? That’s one of the 72 Peaks of Influential. It’s not only a place of good location, but also a place of great status and power! ”
Speaking of this, Vulture looked at Young Ke and advised, “In this case, I’m not sure if it’s good or bad to help him. You... you should also get mentally prepared. ”
Young Ke thought for a moment and nodded.
“Of course, these are just my analysis. There are so many secrets in Lin Xun. I perceived that maybe he just show a tip of the iceberg. I’m really looking forward to working with such a mysterious little guy.”
Vulture said with a smile, “Maybe he can really bring me many unexpected surprises or miracles.”
Young Ke was shocked and her eyes were lightened at this moment. She said, “If Lin Xun knows you praised him so highly, he would be very happy.”
Vulture smiled and waved his hand, “Let’s go, we should go back.”
Young Ke pushed Vulture’s wheelchair and returned immediately. Her figure quickly disappeared in the bustling night street of the Forbidden City.
In front of an old building behind the light curtain
This was the Information Department of the Forbidden City, which was in charge of all matters concerning the light curtain.
A chariot with gorgeous decoration and brilliant lights, pulled by four white Clouds Water Beasts, stopped there quietly at present.
Before long, a graceful figure came out of the grand and antique building gate of Information Department.
She was dignified and graceful with outstanding appearance. Apparently, it was the woman who just announced the news in the light curtain.
Seeing her appearing, someone in the treasure chariot waiting at one side of the stop drew up the curtain. Shi Yu’s handsome face appeared then. He smiled, setting off red lips and white teeth.
“I have done all the things you wanted. I will go back now if there is nothing else.”
The woman stepped forward and said coldly.
However, Shi Yu grabbed her arm, took her whole body into his arms and kissed her on her lips. Then he smiled and said, “How can there be no other thing? I will give you a wonderful night in order to celebrate your contribution tonight.”
The woman suddenly changed her cold and dignified look. She chuckled and winked, asking flirtatiously, “Really, how wonderful it will be?”
Zip! Shi Yu pulled down the curtain. He looked at the woman in his arms affectionately and said in a deep low voice, “You will know it.”
As he spoke, he had bowed his head and kissed the woman on her lips.
But in Shi Yu’s heart, he sighed, “Lin Xun, you owe me too much! I’ve sold myself in order to help you!”
Obviously, the news about Lin Xun broadcasted in the light curtain tonight was driven by Shi Yu in the dark.
...
In the same night
Chi Cangmei’s eyes were drawn back from the light curtain and she was lost in contemplation.
Lin Xun!
It turned out that he was the only heir of Lin Family. His great grandfather was famous Life-death Realm hero Lin Daochen!
That might be the reason why Chi Family was not allowed to send out the strong forces above Gang Spirit Realm in encirclement or to carry out suppression campaign against him. It was obviously that some people opposed them to do so.
Those who opposed might be all forces tied to Lin Family!
Chi Cangmi was even sure that all this must have come from the influence of Lin Daochen. After all, Lin Daochen was so famous five hundred years ago. He fought alone on the battlefield and competed with the Empire of the Dark.
Although he finally died, he succeeded in saving the Empire from plight and helping the Empire to resolve a terrible disaster!
Lin Daochen showed great kindness to others. Whoever wanted to go against his lineal descendants would indeed suffer a lot of resistance.
At least this was fully reflected in the last action of Chi Family as they were not allowed to send out practitioners above Gang Spirit Realm.
What was more, as soon as Chi Cangfeng took out an action he was stopped by the old man of Heiyao Shrine. And he was punished and forced to be locked up for three years.
“I will kill rubbish Chi Ze when I go home.”
Chi Cangmei thought for a long time and suddenly opened his mouth.
The servant next to her was stunned and nodded immediately. He also heard that Chi Ze’s hands were cut by Lin Xun because robbing a woman. He was still healing himself in the clan now.
However, although the family name of Chi Ze was Chi, he was not related to Chi Family by blood. It was nothing to kill such a man.
“In addition, warn the clansmen who are related to Chi Ze that if they dare to trouble Lin Xun, they should bear the consequences by themselves!”
Chi Cangmei added.
The servant lost his calmness at this moment. He hesitated, “Miss, are we a little too cautious by doing this? If outsiders know your order, I’m afraid they’ll think that Chi Family was afraid of Lin Xun.”
Chi Cangmei replied indifferently, “Just take my order!”
The reason why she did this was not that she was afraid of Lin Xun. She had been inspired by her father, Chi Lingxiao, so they would not act against Lin Xun recently.
Chi Cangmei could probably guess out that Chi Family just wanted to watch the fight between Lin Xun and his clansmen.
No matter what the result was, they would not rush into this muddy water again.
Not only Chi Family took this attitude, but also many aristocratic families in the Forbidden City did.
Chi Cangmei felt that things would not be so simple.
It seemed that behind Lin Xun, there was a more terrible force, which made many forces, including Chi Family, dare not move easily!
Of course, it was Chi Cangmei’s own speculation. Anyhow, the more mysteries Lin Xun had, the more interested Chi Cangmei would be.
It was hard for her to bear the failure of the last action. So she wouldn’t miss any chance to retaliate against Lin Xun.
...
Castle of the Night
“Miss, since Lin Xun entered the Forbidden City, the old Flamen of Imperial Observatory had been silent. He never showed any attitude. Many forces, including Chi Family, dared not move without his permission and they took a wait-and-see attitude.”
“It’s normal. Before the situation is clear, no one dares to move without permission.”
“In a word, I didn’t expect that there was a big man in the imperial family who was secretly supporting Lin Xun, but I’m not sure which one he was.”
“Keep checking then.”
“Okay.”
“What is Lin Xun’s current situation?”
“Not so good.”
“It’s not that easy to take charge of Heart-cleansing Peak. But it’s also an opportunity for him to hone himself.”
“I agree.”
“By the way, have you found out the relationship between Master Lu and Lin Family?”
“Not yet.”
“This matter is very important. Master Lu was not an imperial man. His identity was quite mysterious. But he was willing to live in Mine Prison to save Lin Xun. It was interesting.”
“I’ll take care of it.”
“Go and check more.”
In the dark hall, the old man took the command and turned away.
On the high-located white throne, Queen of the Dark Night held her chin in one hand and fell into a deep thought.
