In previous battles, Lin Xun learned from some practitioners who had been captured alive that it was the Chi family, one of the seven aristocratic families in the Forbidden City, who mobilized forces to deal with him.
Chi Cangmei, a descendant of the Chi Family, and Xu Qianjing, a young Tactic Master from Green-deer School, were in charge of this action.
Lin Xun could not be careless when he faced a tactical master like Xu Qianjing, who was good at arranging troops and arrays.
Lin Xun even suspected if Xu Qianjing had known his fighting style and strength through the encirclement and suppression several days ago.
In such cases, the more the enemy knew about him, the more danger he would face.
However, if he could promote hismself to the Earth-gang realm recently, the situation would be changed. Xu Qianjing needed to spend some time to figure out his real strength again and launched new tactics.
If Xu Qianjing wanted to achieve this step, he needed to spend more time to collect intelligence, do research and deduction!
As long as Lin Xun seized the buffer time, he would have more opportunities to win this game.
However, Lin Xun’s thoughts and deduction at this time were useless because Xu Qianjing had been deprived of the command right by Chi Cangmei before the event of Ziying Battleship happened.
Anyway, Lin Xun felt the sign of promotion. In recent days, he would improve himself to the Earth-gang realm smoothly!
His promotion was an irresistible process as he reached the ultimate level of Human-gang realm and his power overflew naturally like water. At this moment, it would be a test whether his cultivation had rooted deep enough.
Lin Xun was also looking forward to surprising changes when he stepped into the Earth-gang realm.
…
After several hours of walking, the vision became more spacious. An outline of a city appeared in the far horizon.
It was Yellow Dragon City, a prosperous city of Xingyun Province in the middle of the Empire.
According to Lin Xun’s planned route, Yellow Dragon City was a necessary stop on his way.
Lin Xun planned to try his best to reach it before the night came, and found a safe place to prepare for his promotion.
It was too dangerous in the wilderness. If anything happened during the promotion, he would definitely suffer a fatal blow.
But Lin Xun didn’t worry his safety if he entered Yellow Dragon City.
It was a prosperous city in the Empire. So the enemy dared not deal with him as blatantly as before.
Huh?
Just as Lin Xun was moving forward, he suddenly noticed that there was a group of soldiers walking this way in the far distance.
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, wondering whether the team was the enemy or not. But he found that there was a golden cloud banner hanging on a beast carriage in front of the team. Keystone Business was written on it.
Why there was a team of Keystone Business?
Lin Xun was confused. As the team approached, he unexpectedly found an acquaintance – Wang Lin!
Wang Lin was the treasure surveyor of Keystone Business in Donglin Town. He was also the most powerful subordinate beside Mu Wangsu.
Lin Xun had intersects with Wang Lin when he was in Donglin Town, but he didn’t expect to meet Wang Lin here.
“Lin Xun! Why are you here? ”
Almost at the same time, Wang Lin, who was sitting in the beast carriage, also noticed Lin Xun. He waved his hands to greet Lin Xun with surprise.
All of a sudden, the hundreds people’s team stopped.
Wang Lin quickly stepped out of the beast carriage and came to Lin Xun. He said with a smile, “I can’t believe that I met you in this wilderness.”
Lin Xun was also surprised, “I didn’t expect that either.”
“Come with me, Miss Su is in the team. If she sees you, she will be surprised too. Ha ha.”
With that, Wang Lin took Lin Xun to the center of the team.
Along the way, Lin Xun noticed that the team of Keystone Business was very unique this time. In addition to dozens of alert guards, there were many teenagers among them. Although they were young, they were full of spirit.
When Lin Xun was looking at the young people, they were also looking at Lin Xun curiously.
“These are the good seedlings selected by Miss Su from the Keystone Business in Yellow Dragon city. They can become the most powerful subordinates with some trains.”
Wang Lin casually introduced these young men.
Lin Xun asked “Why do you run so far to choose subordinates?”
Wang Lin lowered his voice to explain, “Miss Su now just keeps a foothold in Mist City, and there are no available person around her. We have to find subordinates from Mist City to prevent spies from being planted.”
Lin Xun got Wang Lin’s meaning and sighed, “You really have to lay a solid foundation first if you want to do something. Loyalty is undoubtedly the core prerequisite when choosing subordinates.”
Wang Lin said with a smile, “That’s right.”
Lin Xun suddenly remembered that when he was about to leave Mist City, he went to Keystone Business to farewell Mu Wangsu, but she was not there at that time. Now he knew that she had gone to Yellow Dragon City to choose his subordinates.
“Wang Lin, why you stop the team?”
Before they could get to the center of the line, a man in a silver robe come up with a disgruntled face.
This man was handsome, having a feather hat overhead and a jade belt around his waist. He worn a pair of dragon patterned boots and held a golden outlined jade fan in his hand, presenting a sense of arrogance in his behaviors.
“I met a friend of Miss Wansu on the way. So I’m taking him to see Miss Wansu.”
Wang Lin’s face became colder, and there was an imperceptible sense of disgust and exclusion appearing between his eyebrows. He took Lin Xun forward constantly after his explanation.
But the silver-robed man snorted and stopped them on the way, “A friend? Why didn’t I see it? ”
He pretended to ignore Lin Xun and seemed to be extremely arrogant.
Lin Xun could not help frowning at this moment. He clearly felt that the silver-robed man had an undisguised hostility to him.
Wang Lin’s face was rather gloomy. He took a deep breath and replied, “Mr. Lu, this is Miss Wansu’s friend, Lin Xun.”
He turned to Lin Xun then, “This is Childe Lu, Lu Shaoyun.”
Lin Xun heard a tiny whisper from Wang Lin immediately, “His father is Lu Tianzhao. He is an elder executive of the headquarter of Keystone Business in the Forbidden City.”
“This Childe Lu has a bad reputation because he always takes advantage of his father’s name to flirt around and has no knowledge at all. It’s said that he offended a noble younsgster from a strong force in the Forbidden City for a woman, and he was expelled from the Forbidden City by his father.”
“Miss Wansu meets Childe Lu when she comes to Yellow Dragon City this time. Lu Shaoyun follows Miss Wansu like a piece of skin plaster. Obviously, he is greedy for Miss Wansu’s beauty. But Miss Wansu can do nothing to him in case that his father is a deacon in the headquarter of Keystone Business. ”
This explanation made Lin Xun suddenly know the situation at present.
During Wang Lin’s explanation, Lu Shaoyun looked at Lin Xun up and down recklessly, and he chuckled out, “You’re just a teenager. Your clothes are so shabby. How can you become a friend with Miss Wansu?”
It was clearly ridicule words. No one would wrong this feeling.
Wang Lin didn’t think that Lu Shaoyun was so vicious. He pulled a long face at once and advised, “Be polite please, Childe Lu!”
Lu Shaoyun raised the jade fan in his hand and suddenly hit Wang Lin at his forehead, “You’re just a slave. How dare you talk with me in this manner?”
Crack!
While the jade fan was still in the air, Lin Xun grabbed it with one hand.
He couldn’t stand the arrogant man any longer. He thought Rui Qing in Green Willow Town was an arrogant man. Who ever thought that Lu Shaoyun in front of him was much more disgusting?
“Dame you!”
When the jade fan was caught, Lu Shaoyun couldn’t withdraw his fan even he tried his best. He immediately scolded and kicked Lin Xun.
Click!
Lin Xun’s attack came first and he hit Lu Shaoyun on his cheek, which made Lu Shaoyun’s nose collapse and head buzzing. Lu Shaoyun flew away out of control.
But Lin Xun didn’t stop. He rushed and beat Lu Shaoyun without any nonsense, making Lu Shaoyun curled up on the ground and screamed miserably.
Wang Lin was stunned. Lu Shaoyun was arrogant in manner. But Lin Xun beat Lu Shaoyun directly. When they were compared, Lin Xun seemed to be extremely fierce and bullying.
To be honest, Wang Lin was quite happy when he saw Lu Shaoyun’s miserable situation. But when he thought about Lu Shaoyun’s identity, he felt a headache.
The movement here had already attracted many people’s attention in the team. But when Lu Shaoyun was beaten, no one stopped Lin Xun. On the contrary, they all felt as happy as Wang Lin.
Along the way, Lu Shaoyun presented a high-profile attitude and abused others as long as he felt unsatisfied, which annoyed all the people.
They could not offend Lu Shaoyun because Miss Wansu’s exhortion, so they could only bear their anger in their hearts.
Now Lin Xun beat the arrogant Childe Lu instead of them, how could they not be happy?
“Bastard! Do you know who I am? ”
Lu Shaoyun was beaten black and blue. He shrieked.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another heavy kicking continued.
“Dame you! Dame you! ”
Lu Shaoyun’s eyes were about to burst out with anger.
With a whine, his mouth was stuffed with a mass of stinky mud, and he couldn’t make a sound anymore. Finally, his eyes turned over and he was knocked out by Lin Xun.
Seeing this, Lin Xun stopped beating. He took a long breath and felt the fresh air again.
He glanced around and smiled, “Forgive my rudeness. I know for the first time that there are guys who need a good spanking. If this time I don’t satisfy his inner desire for being beaten, I will feel guilty in my heart.”
