Shue Jin jokingly looked at Lin Xun as if he could do nothing to interfere with Granny Wind’s business but only bless good luck for Lin, which made Lin Xun daunted and annoyed somehow.
Fortunately, Shue Jin analyzed, “If that mad woman stands at your side, it is not a big thing for you to cripple Huang Jianxiong. In fact, among those forces, the number of descendants is huge. Although born in quite a good family, they suffer a lot in life. Brothers want to kill each other and sisters become enemies for power and interests. You should know that vile and disgusting practices are commonplace in their circle.”
After a pause, he continued, “Huang Jianxiong ranks seventh and he is not a direct descendant of the clan. Even if he was killed, it can be turned trivial if there’s someone important backing you.”
Lin Xun nodded in understanding. He had also heard that the more powerful the family was, the crueler the internal competitions were. In order to strive for more resources, it was common for clan descendants to kill each other.
“In spite of this, you still have to be careful. For those young guys, your status is just too low, and you have crippled one of their companions. Their resentment is not so easy to be removed.”
Shue Jin reminded again.
Lin Xun sneered, “My status is too low? These guys just want to maintain their dignity and face. If they dare to pester me incessantly, I do not mind killing some to make them understand.”
Shue Jin didn’t nag anymore.
In fact, deep in his heart, he appreciated Lin Xun’s ruthlessness and his disregard for the origins of his opponents. Once he was provoked, he would kill his enemies at will.
“On the bright side,” Lin Xun changed the topic, “Before I restore the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, Granny Wind will not just stand by and do nothing. Her guarantee is enough for me.”
Shue Jin joked, “I’m curious how long it will take to repair this Ancient-rhythm Ocarina?”
Lin Xuan chortled, “That’s hard to say.”
Shue Jin couldn’t help laughing again and gave him a thumb up, “Good job, turn that mad woman into your guard. I really admire your courage.”
Lin Xun showed a puzzled face, “Did I do that?”
Shue Jin said impatiently. “Don’t feign innocence in front of me. Do you really think I don’t know you? I doubt whether you can repair this Ancient-rhythm Ocarina before Province Test?”
Lin Xun laughed and went to his room. He said, “That’s just what you said. I’ve never admitted it.”
Shue Jin refuted him impatiently. “Come on! I know your little idea! As soon as you pout your ass, I know what your shit is.”
“What a vulgar man!”
Lin Xu turned a blind eye and slammed his door.
Around the same time, e a string of natural laughter appeared in the quiet courtyard of Green-tea Pavilion.
Liu Qingyan’s shoulders trembled with laughter as her eyes bent into a pair of crescent moons. She said, “I didn’t know Lin Xun is so treacherous. It’s the first time that I have seen Granny Wind so angry but without any choice to counter him. Ha ha, it’s so funny.”
Liu Qingyan did not realize that Lin Xun could be so cunning that Granny Wind had to hold her nose to suffer a great loss.
In the past, the juveniles Liu Qingyan got in touch with were graceful, modest and courteous, and all of them were proud sons of heaven.
Only Lin Xun, who seemed polite but was actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing could succeed in one-upping Granny Wind. He really wasn’t someone ordinary.
But soon, when she noticed that Granny Wind was somewhat embarrassed, Liu Qingyan stopped laughing and secretly stuck out her tongue, saying, “Granny, I’m sorry that I let you be wronged.”
Granny Wind said, “I’m not holding a grudge, but since this boy dared to trap me, if he isn’t taught a lesson, I’m afraid he will be even more dishonest.”
Liu Qingyan couldn’t help laughing and joking, “Yes, you have to set him straight. He’s too bad to make my Aunt angry.”
Granny Wind stared at Liu Qingyan and said, “This is not a joke! You should be careful, miss. This little bastard is very cunning. According to my experience, if you don’t give him a hard time, he won’t be so honest in repairing the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina.”
Liu Qingyan was stunned. “But you have promised to pay him!”
Granny Wind sighed and said, “Miss, you have misread this little bastard. From my understanding, he will certainly help you fix the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, but he will take a long time to finish this task.”
Liu Qingyan was doubtful, “Why so?”
Granny Wind sneered. “It’s easy to know what he’s thinking. This kid is worried that after ruining Huang Jianxiong’s cultivation, some people will seek him for revenge. But as long as he does not repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, I have to protect him well. With his degree of craftiness, he will inevitably take advantage of this and let me be his shelter umbrella. So miss, do you think that he will repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina as soon as possible?”
Liu Qingyan was dumbfounded and said, “This is also a way for Lin to seek protection. After all, he is different from the descendants of major powers. If he doesn’t want to be troubled, he can only use this way.”
Granny Wind was alert at once. “Miss, why do you care about this bastard? You’ve only met him once! Do you…?”
Liu Qingyan’s face blushing, she grumbled coyly, “Granny, my reaction is the basic human nature! You’re thinking too much!”
Granny Wind was relieved. “Alright, then I am at ease.”
Liu Qingyan was still curious, “Granny, how are you going to discipline Lin Xun?”
Granny Wind’s eyes were filled with complacency as she boasted, “Miss, you just wait for good news. Seven days later, someone will teach this boy a lesson. If he can tide this over, I don’t mind being used by him this time. If he can’t, he must honestly fix the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina first.”
Liu Qingyan worried, “Granny, don’t embarrass him too much. It’s not a good thing if you thoroughly humiliate him.”
Granny Wind smiled helplessly at Liu Qingyan’s kind-hearted nature and assured her, “Don’t worry about him, Miss. He won’t lose his life at least.”
…
Sitting in his room, Lin Xun restrained his smile and his eyes were full of contemplation.
He felt that there were too many things today. However, thinking carefully, there were only three major events. One was the possible aftermath of crippling Huang Jianxiong, and another was to help Liu Qingyan repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina.
When thinking about the third one…
Lin Xun touched his throat inadvertently. He remembered Young Sword King Shie Yutang who put his sword at Lin’s throat.
Little ant, it’s bound to be the death of you if you remain over-confident.
Shie Yutang’s warning was full of disregard and disdain coming from his heart.
After a long silence, Lin Xun took a deep breath and the complex feelings in his dark eyes gradually faded away. He murmured, “Someday, I’ll let you taste the same feeling of shame…”
Chirping ~ ~
At this time, there was a fluctuation from Lin’s palm. Chirps rushed and cried out. His round body kept rolling in front of Lin Xun.
Lin Xun was delighted, exclaiming, “You came at just the right time. Let’s start working.”
With that, he orderly listed the prepared spiritual materials one by one in front of him.
As more and more things happened to him, Lin Xun had to seize the time to make a battle saber for himself as soon as possible.
Chirps’ Smashing-star Golden Fire would play a vital role in this refinement.
Lin Xun took out a furnace and walked out of the room with Chirps.
This was a first-class furnace, known as the Supreme Smelting Furnace, specially prepared for refining battle sabers.
Chatter ~ ~
Lin Xun dumped all the prepared spiritual materials into the Supreme Smelting Furnace, then patted Chirps’ little butt and said, “Come on, melt all these things for me.”
Chirps showed a face of incomprehension ashe couldn’t understand Lin Xun’s words.
Lin Xun had to use his gestures and body language to explain. As soon as Chirps understood, he excitedly sprayed out a golden spark into the Supreme Smelting Furnace from his mouth. There was a star-like glow flowing in the flame, appearing very beautiful.
This was the Smashing-star Golden Fire, a rare heaven-ranking fire.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Supreme Smelting Furnace vibrated sharply and started running. There were dense spiritual tattoo patterns on the furnace. At this moment, brilliant halos were shining, which completely covered the spiritual materials that Lin had dumped in.
“Well done!”
Lin Xun’s praise made Chirps happy. He opened his mouth and sprayed several tongues of fire into the furnace. Suddenly, a golden pillar of fire erupted from the furnace, making the surrounding air evaporate with heat and generate a rolling white fog. This scenery was just like flickering gold.
Lin Xun was astonished. He stopped Chirps in a hurry, “Take it easy, and don’t rush please! Try to control the heat as it is now.”
Lin talked a lot despite Chirps’ poor understanding.
Shue Jin was attracted and came over. He was surprised to see this. “Are you refining a battle saber?”
Lin Xun nodded his head and suddenly recalled something. He requested, “Jin, please help me look out for these spiritual materials while Chirps spouted fire; we cannot waste them.”
Shue Jin was stunned. “How can I know how to control the heat?”
Lin Xun casually narrated. “These are the materials needed for casting the battle saber. It’s a simple job as you just need to stare at the furnace and not let it explode.”
After that, he turned around and hurried into the room. He needed to prepare spiritual ink, which would be used to carve spiritual patterns immediately after the embryo of the battle saber was refined.
Shue Jin was shocked and suddenly found that Lin Xun seemed to have become another person at this moment. There was an indescribable concentration and focus between his eyebrows as if he was the master of all spiritual tattoos, which made him appear confident.
It turned out that Lin had another talent in refinery work.
Thinking of that, Shue Jin gained more confidence in Lin Xun’s future promise of helping him make the armor with spiritual tattoos.
