Chapter 157: Ghost in the Magic World - Beginning (3)

Xiang Kui’s footsteps paused.

To be honest, after seeing Jun Lin in three completely different worlds with different personality, Xiang Kui had somehow expected that she would still see Jun Lin in this world.

Coincidence?

Heh, who would believe it?

Anyway, Xiang Kui didn’t believe it.

Shang Kui’s memory that Xiang Kui saw before also recorded someone named Jun Lin.

The illegitimate son of the Jun Family and also the unfavored child in the Jun Family... This is Jun Lin. He has always been bullied by other children because of this status but because of the Jun Family Head’s order, he couldn’t be killed.

Jun Lin was basically the embarrassment of the entire Jun Family.

Xiang Kui pursed her lips when she thought about it.

Her legs moved towards the training ground without hesitation.

There was only one reason why Shang Kui remember Jun Lin...

Bang!

Xiang Kui saw a group of teenager surrounded Jun Lin and the man’s eyes looked determined. He was clutching his sword in his hand, ready to attack when necessary.

Swish!

"Jun Lin! Damn it!"

Jun Lin agilely avoided the attack and swung his sword as counterattack.

His attack swift and decisive, not leaving them any chance to retaliate nor took advantage of him.

Slash! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Ahhhh!"

Xiang Kui pursed her lips and she could sense the rapid heartbeat of this body.

Yes.

The real Shang Kui had a crush on Jun Lin but because she was a waste of the Shang Family, she never dared to say it. Besides, she’s still young, only 15 years old, so she felt shy and didn’t dare to step forward to speak about it.

This resulted in the real Shang Kui to not be able to speak out her thoughts out loud until the end of her life.

Tsk, tsk.

Remembering various things in Shang Kui’s memory, Xiang Kui’s current expression was not very good.

She really didn’t want to think about all of these things if possible.

Step forward and help?

The current Xiang Kui could do it, but the usual performances of Shang Kui made it impossible for the other party to help.

Besides...

Bang!

"Damn it, Jun Lin! Just you wait!"

The group of teenagers were beaten up by Jun Lin. His performances and courage was clearly a notch more than before.

Xiang Kui pursed her lips.

Is this still that ’Jun Lin?’

The one who was bullied and couldn’t fight back for a long time because he was afraid that his status as the illegitimate child would cause trouble for some people.

Her eyes flickered slightly as Xiang Kui slowly made her way forward.

Jun Lin panted and looked at the group of children in front of him, feeling that they were really useless. Why is he always so afraid of them in the past?

Even if he’s nothing more than an illegitimate child... he didn’t want to back down.

Thinking about the graduation examination in a few days, Jun Lin frowned slightly. The students were asked to form a group of three to five people in order to complete the task and to protect each other.

After all, many magicians were specialized in one area.

They usually needed the help of other people in battle.

*pant* *pant*

Jun Lin frowned, feeling that his stamina was really bad for him to get tired after one short battle with a group of useless b*stards. Was the days of hiding his ability also affected his overall ability?

"Who is it?"

Sensing someone’s arrival, Jun Lin turned around swiftly. His eyes scanned the surroundings sharply and stopped on Xiang Kui’s figure. The tense and cold expression immediately calmed down to indifference.

But there was a faint throbbing that he couldn’t understand.

Jun Lin was sure that he didn’t have much interaction with Shang Kui in the past and when he saw the other party, he didn’t have much feeling either. After all, Shang Kui’s predicament was not a secret and many people had seen her failing one after another.

There were many people who disliked her in the city.

While he himself had no other thoughts, but he didn’t think of bullying the already pitiful girl even more.

Bullying the weak is something that only cowards would do.

As someone with great aspiration, Jun Lin will never do something like that.

"Uhm... sorry, I just... you’re injured and I..." Xiang Kui stammered in her words and then quickly took out some healing medicine from her pouch.

One thing that Xiang Kui should be grateful to her family members was the fact that even though they disliked Shang Kui, they would not do anything like corrupting the girl’s allowance. This made Shang Kui a little rich girl who had a lot of money but nowhere to spend it.

After all, Shang Kui didn’t know what she actually needed.

"This..." Jun Lin looked at the medicine that Shang Kui offered to him and he frowned.

As the illegitimate child, it was already good enough for the Jun Family not to kill Jun Lin outright and still willing to let him life. How could they be wiling to spend a lot of money to raise him?

So Jun Lin had to work part time in order to fill his stomach.

The subsidies he received from the Jun Family was far from enough for him to eat and it was honestly quite miserable.

"I won’t be able to pay back," Jun Lin said bluntly.

Shang Kui might be the useless young miss, but she’s still the legitimate daughter of the Shang Family Head. They didn’t even limit the young miss’s allowance and allowed her to have a lot of money.

It was also the kind of money that Jun Lin could never have in his entire life.

Rather than making trouble, Jun Lin felt that he should tell Shang Kui about this outright so that she would not pester him for repayment in the future.

"This... you don’t have to pay in the future," Xiang Kui said again, her eyes darted around.
