Chapter 370: In Him The Tiger Sniffs The Rose.
The same night in Northlight Lin
After returning, Lin Xuefeng went straight to his father Lin Huaiyuan’s residence.
“Father, I have something to tell you.”
Lin Xuefeng looked solemn.
“Go ahead.”
Lin Huaiyuan opened his mouth with a smile.
“I decided to help Lin Xun to take charge of Heart-cleansing Peak!”
Lin Xuefeng claimed resolutely.
Lin Huaiyuan’s smile suddenly solidified. He asked after a while, “Tell me the reason.”
Lin Xuefeng told all things happened tonight, including the fact that he almost died under Hua Wuhen’s attacks.
Knowing all this, Lin Huaiyuan’s expressions varied. After a long time, he sighed with emotion, “I understand.”
But he couldn’t help but ask again, “Are you sure to... support Lin Xun? You should know that if Lin Xun is defeated by Hua Wuyou, you will get opportunities to regain the right to take charge of Heart-cleansing Peak... ”
Before he finished, Lin Xuefeng said angrily, “Father, Lin Xun is going to fight for me. How can you regard me as a selfish one?”
Lin Huaiyuan gave a relieved smile and said: “I am sure now that you really restore your mind to help Lin Xun sincerely.”
Lin Xuefeng was stunned. Then he realized that what his father had just said was to test his mind. He couldn’t help being ashamed and said, “Sorry to let you down, father.”
Lin Huaiyuan waved his hand and consoled Lin Xuefeng, “Don’t feel sorry. If I were you, I would definitely make such a decision. You’ve done a good job. I’m glad to your performance. I will support you in this matter.”
Lin Xuefeng was shocked and said excitedly, “Thanks for knowing me, father!”
“But you should know Northlight Lin will not recognize Lin Xun immediately. Your grandfather has reached an agreement with Lin Xun. We should respect your grandfather’s will.”
Lin Huaiyuan pondered.
“I got it.”
Lin Xuefeng nodded.
“That’s it.”
Lin Huaiyuan waved his hand to send Lin Xuefeng away. He sighed then.
Lin Huaiyuan didn’t mention one thing. When Lin Xuefeng decided to help Lin Xun with all his strength, Northlight Lin had already committed to Lin Xun. It was only a matter of time for their completely return.
“Lin Xun... is really a rare talent. If he can win the fight with Hua Wuyou, it will be a great shock and warning for the other three affiliated forces. ”
Lin Huaiyuan sat there alone, lost in thought.
Through Lin Xuefeng’s view, he had realized that the potential of Lin Xun couldn’t be underestimated. He had so many powerful young friends like Shi Yu, Ning Meng, Bai Lingshi and Zhao Yin...
...
Late night in Westbrook Lin
The lights in the conference hall were bright.
Lin Tianlong, the leader of Westbrook Lin, put away the news he just got and couldn’t help laughing: “Quite good news. Lin Xun finally met difficult! He offended Song Family and Hua Family this time since he dared to beat Hua Wuhen in the street and seriously injure Song Chonghe and Song Zhe in Smiles of Beauties! ”
“What’s more, he promised to fight with Hua Wuyou, a terrible woman who ran amok. She is also famous in Green-deer School. Lin Xun was seeking for death to make such engagement.”
On the other side, Lin Nianshan, the leader of Floating-cloud Lin, chuckled.
“That’s retribution he couldn’t avoid. According to Hua Wuyou’s cruelty, Lin Xun would be crippled or died when he was defeated. We can seize the opportunity to take back the right of charging Heart-cleansing Peak at that time!”
Lin Pingdu, the leader of Flying-peak Lin, made a sound with calculating eyes.
They were very depressed in these days. They had made a plan to control Lin Xun in the dark and let him become their puppet.
Who ever thought that he would either hide in Heart-cleansing Peak or go out with two Tao Insight Realm men, Lin Zhong and Zhu Laosan, which made it hard for them to do anything?
How couldn’t they feel excited when they heard such good news in upset and powerless?
“But we had underestimated Lin Xun’s social network. According to the news, at the banquet he attended in Smiles of Beauties, many top young figures stood up for Lin Xun, such as Shi Yu, Ning Meng, Bai Lingshi and Zhao Yin. They forced Song Chonghe and Song Zhe to leave the banquet in a hurry. That was not a simple thing.”
Lin Tianlong opened his mouth again.
As soon as this remark came out, the excitement in Lin Nianshan’s and Lin Pingdu’s heart subsided. Their minds restored at once.
“At present, it’s not sure what kind of relationships between Lin Xun and those young people is, so we don’t need to worry too much. After all, no matter how powerful the forces behind these young people are, these forces will definitely not support Lin Xun because of these young men’s likes or dislikes.”
Lin Nianshan calmly analyzed, “Take Shi Yu for example, he is the third son of Fortune God Shi, but it is impossible for him to make Keystone Business fully support Lin Xun.”
“With that uncounted, offending Song family and Hua Family was enough for him to be trapped in doom!”
Lin Pingdu said coldly, “We just need to see how he would be defeated, and then seize the opportunity to control him at one stroke!”
“How about go to the Tianwu Arena to have a look at this duel three days later?”
Lin Tianlong suddenly proposed.
“I can’t agree more.”
Lin Nianshan and Lin Pingdu both agreed.
...
Tonight, not only the four branches of Lin Family received these news, many big forces in the Forbidden City got it as well.
After all, that Hua Wuhen was beaten in the street and Song Chonghe was seriously injured were both big news. Lin Xun did these at the same time, which could attract the attention of all forces.
“Lin Xun? Who is he? ”
“It’s said that he is the descendant of Lin Daochen. Now he lives on Heart-cleansing Peak.”
“Aha, interesting thing! I haven’t heard much news about Lin Family after that bloody incident happened more than ten years ago. ”
...
“Lin Xun was really domineering. How dared he offend two first-class aristocratic families overnight?”
“It’s amazing that three days later, he will fight with Hua Wuyou in Tianwu Arena.”
“What Song Family and Hua Family will react at that time?”
“Why don’t you come and have a look then?”
“Good idea. Lin Daochen was a legendary figure in the world. Even today’s emperor highly praised him. I wonder the uniqueness about his descendant.”
...
“Lin Xun? Is that the weakest leader of aristocratic family in the Forbidden City?”
“Yes!”
“He was really bold. He dared to provoke demon Hua Wuyou. Was he seeking for death？”
“Hey, hey, I have a feeling that after tomorrow, this news will make a sensation in the Forbidden City!”
“Of course it will. Rare people dared to offend the two first-class aristocratic families like Lin Xun did.”
...
Discussing like this spread in the Forbidden City in an incredible speed under the shadow of night, causing a lot of uproar.
Early in the next morning
The news began to be broadcast on the huge light curtain in the central area of the Forbidden City before daybreak.
The dignified, graceful and beautiful woman narrated the story of last night in Smiles of Beauties in an orderly tone.
Immediately, it caused a huge stir in the scene.
“Lin Xun was so powerful to beat Hua Wuhen and injured Song Chonghe. Why didn’t he take part in the Nation Test?”
“Didn’t you hear the rumor several days ago that he was obsessed with common affairs and didn’t have time to participate in the Nation Test. Otherwise, he would be sure to win a place for himself according to his fight effectiveness!”
“Hum, no matter how fierce he is, he is doomed to die since he dared to offend Hua Family and Song Family. I’m afraid that Heart-cleansing Peak, which was on his charge now, has to have its master changed.”
“Don’t be sarcastic. Dare you beat the people of first-class aristocratic family? Shut up if you dare not.”
“No matter how powerful he was, how could he be the opponent of Hua Wuyou? Let’s wait and see. Lin Xun is doomed to end in a fiasco and lose his reputation three days later! ”
All kinds of voices were raised and some discussions about Lin Xun became the focus of attention.
It improved Lin Xun’s reputation invisibly. It wouldn’t be long before it could spread all over the Forbidden City and be known by countless practitioners.
The duel about Lin Xun and Hua Wuyou two days later aroused the expectation and curiosity of countless people.
Many people rushed to Tianwu Arena to buy a ticket when they had been informed of the news. To their surprise, the tickets at that special day were sold out!
It proved highly attentions had been paid to this duel.
Even in Green-deer School, many students did the same. After all, Hua Wuyou was a famous student in Martial Department.
It was hard to believe that Hua Wuyou would make such an engagement with her high status.
Many students began to inquire about Lin Xun’s information. They were surprised to learn that he was only a teenager and had not participated in the Nation Test.
Did he deserve to fight with Hua Wuyou?
However, the stranger the thing was, the more curious it had been. Some students also decided to come to the scene and witness Lin Xun’s power. They wished they wouldn’t be disappointed by his performances.
Lin Xun didn’t know all this.
He resumed his former practicing life when he went back to Heart-cleansing Peak last night. He meditated, practiced his saberplay and observed the images of heaven and earth. He was calm and acted as usual. It seemed that the duel with Hua Wuyou was not a big deal in his mind at all.
In the engagement day, Lin Xun had a breakfast prepared by Young Ke in the warm morning light, stretched his body contentedly and said goodbye to Young Ke and Vulture with a smile, “When I come back, let’s visit Yang Ling’s Refining workshop together. I got a wonderful idea to make money.”
Then, accompanied by Lin Zhong and Zhu Laosan, he left Heart-cleansing Peak.
“Wasn’t this guy abnormal? He’s going to fight today. But he’s still thinking about how to make money!”
Young Ke’s beautiful eyes and eyebrows were stunned.
“Aha, in him the tiger sniffs a rose. The more he thought, the more confidence he had about this battle.”
Vulture smiled, his clear eyes full of wisdom.
“I hope so.”
Young Ke agreed in thoughts.
