Chapter 57: Relieving the Danger

Before knowing what he was going to say, Mu Wansu said, “Wait! Don’t speak out!”

Yan Zhen was in a bit of a daze, “What’s up?”

He had the impression that Mu Wansu was one of the famous big shots in Donglin Town. Full of beauty, wisdom and stratagem, she was seldomly out of control like that, which was the exact reason why she deserved the name “Black Rose”.

However, since she met Lin Xun, she found that all her stratagems were useless. She was very unlucky every time, constantly being taken advantage of. She could do nothing about it, feeling only intolerance, anger and bitterness.

These feelings made grievances and anger accumulate in her heart. At the moment, seeing Lin Xun’s foxy and deceitful face, Mu Wansu could not help but vent her indignation.

However, Lin Xun looked as if nothing had happened and sighed, “My elder sister, it must be known by senior Yan Zhen. Otherwise I’m afraid some other misunderstandings will appear.”

Mu Wansu froze for a moment and thought to herself, “What does he mean? Does he think I already know what he wants to say?”

But soon, Mu Wansu understood the purpose of these words.

Hearing that, Yan Zhen’s face became serious and replied, “Now that Wansu also knows it, please speak about it directly. Please don’t worry about any misunderstanding, even though it may lead to big trouble as we must discuss a countermeasure to deal with it.”

Mu Wansu was rendered totally speechless by Yan Zhen’s perfect cooperation…

Lin Xun also looked serious, taking a deep breath as he prepared to say something. At the same moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which made Lin Xun involuntarily frown. But Mu Wansu laughed, feeling that god was helping her!

Yan Zhen stood up and whispered, “How dare someone knock at such a time. It must be something really urgent.” With this, he opened the door.

Outside the door stood a servant, with a surprised and bewildered face.

“What happened?” Yan Zhen asked directly.

“Your excellency, Wu Deyong, the shopkeeper of Wu Business, has come with lots of people, insisting that we hand over a person to them.” The servant answered.

Yan Zhen felt confused and his face suddenly turned sullen, “Who should I give to them? Is he finding fault with me?”

Lin Xun stood up at once and said to Yan Zhen helplessly, “Senior Yan, I guess they have come for me.”

The smile hanging on the corners of Mu Wansu’s mouth froze immediately. By now, she clearly knew that the next thing Lin Xun was about to say was related to Wu Business.

Being tricked by this foxy boy once again, Mu Wansu gnashed her teeth with hatred!

But then she heard Yan Zhen asking with surprise, “They came to get you? What for?”

Lin Xun quickly told the story about Wu Henshui and insisted that Wu Henshui was killed by the cornered villagers because he forcibly occupied all the spiritual lands and fire-copper mountains of Feiyun Village. Meanwhile, he also confessed that he was chased by the Wu Business as soon as he came to Green-sun Tribe, leaving him no choice but to ask for the help of Keystone Business.

Hearing that, Yan Zhen frowned and said, “So I see.”

But he also thought it was a hot potato. The backstage host of Wu Business was a big shot in Donglin Town, a local villain that even the Keystone Business was unwilling to create a hostile relationship with.

But at the thought of the relationship between Lin Xun and their big Childe, Shi Xuan, Yan Zhen had a clearer idea why he must help, even with the heavy costs.

For a while, Yan Zhen also hesitated, instinctively his sights moved to Mu Wansu.

“Such a foxy boy, getting into such big trouble after only a few days in Green-sun Tribe. Will the big Childe regret gifting out the token if he knows of this affair?” Mu Wansu thought, which made her also feel troubled.

Deep in her heart, Mu Wansu eagerly looked forward to handing over Lin Xun to Wu Business for the simple matter of revenge. But she could only dream of doing this because it was not allowed in the real situation.

Mu Wansu sighed and thought, “Fine, just help him one more time. If he still pushes his luck, I must set a clear boundary with him even if it means being blamed by the big Childe.”

Making up her mind, a sharp and decisive expression appeared among Mu Wansu’s eyebrows. She then said firmly, “Tell them, Yan Zhen, Lin Xun is one of our Keystone Business, let them behave themselves!”

Silently understanding it, Yan Zhen left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Lin Xun said, “Sister Wansu, what I care about is the safety of the whole village, my own safety doesn’t matter. If their anger is vented towards the villagers, I’d rather refuse your help.” At the end of his words, you could tell by his expression he was determined.

Staring at Lin Xun for a long time, Mu Wansu nodded in approval and said, “Though you gave me a bad impression, I can promise you that I will never let it affect Feiyun Village, especially with what you just said.”

Lin Xun cupped his hands and saluted respectfully, “Thanks a lot. I will remember your kindness and return it tenfold in the future!”

Seeing his serious look, Mu Wansu felt a little strange. Then she waved her hand and said, “I don’t expect your reward. I just hope you do not make trouble for me.”

Lin Xun nodded his head silently.

It was a big taboo to have a hearty talk with a slight acquaintance. Knowing what he did today was an imposition to others, he knew he had no choice considering the fate of the people in Feiyun Village or the need to find a temporary shelter for himself.

Soon, Yan Zhen came back with smile, “It has been solved. Even with a big shot behind him, a coward like Wu Deyong still needs to concede when confronted with our Keystone Business.”

Lin Xun stood up once again to express his gratitude to Yan Zhen and then left.

“Wansu, what’s the relationship between this young man and big Childe?” As soon as Lin Xun left, Yan Zhen asked.

“I heard from big Childe that this young man has a boundless prospect, nothing else. Something I still don’t understand.” Mu Wansu replied absently.

Yan Zhen was completely dazed. Originally, he thought there must be a strong friendship between Lin Xun and big Childe. Who would have thought that it was such a peculiar relationship?

Taking a deep breath, Mu Wansu enjoined, “Well, let’s talk about something else. In a few days, big Childe may return to the Green-sun Tribe. You should get ready for it.”

Saying that, she stood up and left. Curiously, she thought of Lin Xun. “Did he understand what I meant? Hope he will never strut in borrowed plumes, bullying others with big Childe’s token, otherwise I won’t forgive him.”

……

It was midnight when Lin Xun got out of the Keystone Business. Only a few people wandered on the street with the dim yellow lamplight sprinkling on the road, lonely and silent.

Leading a horse, Lin Xun walked on the road without meeting any ambush. It could be judged that Wu Business, after getting the warning from Keystone Business, had really retreated.

It seemed that the winner between the confrontation of power and authority had already been divided out silently, which made Lin Xun realize the true meaning of a powerful force for the first time.

Old-crow Inn.

The Mono-eyed Bruiser was sleeping behind the counter when Lin Xun came back. But he came to life in a stroke when he saw Lin Xun, feeling shocked, fearful and awed.

“Sorry to disturb you again. Please get a room for me.” Lin Xun smiled as he took out 20 copper coins and gave them to him.

“No, no, no. Only five are enough.” The Mono-eyed Bruiser replied.

What happened that night caused a sensation through the whole Green-sun Tribe: Everybody was waiting to see the young man’s end. But Wu Business just accepted it, which made everyone surprised.

By this time the Mono-eyed Bruiser understood the peculiar relationship between this young man and Keystone Business. No wonder he dared to kill the mad dog, Wu Jie, et al. without any hesitation — He had somebody to rely on.

Lin Xun took back his 15 coins directly and entered a room he was lead to by a flattering waiter.

……

The moment Lin Xun closed the door, the smile always hanging on the corners of his mouth disappeared. He stood blankly in front of the window, and looked at the remote darkness, with a hint of rarely seen loneliness appearing on his handsome and gentle face.

After a long time, he shook his head, put out the light and lay on the bed in the dark.

It was the first night that Lin Xun did not cultivate.

Early in the next morning, Lin Xun wore his usual warm smile again on the corners of his mouth when he left the Old-crow Inn in high spirits.

The Green-sun Tribe was busy during the day, crowed with hustling people and a bustling atmosphere.

Having had a bowl of soybean milk made by green spiritual beans on a small stall and ten steam buns stuffed with black raging bull’s meat, Lin Xun patted his round stomach with satisfaction and walked directly to the Keystone Business.

The receptionist was the same middle-aged guard as last time, whose name was Shue Liang, an experienced treasure appraisal master.

Shue Liang was more hospitable than last time. He estimated the value of a big animal-skin bag of goods for Lin Xun and then personally fetched the exchanged 43 silver coins for Lin Xun, which was equivalent to 4,300 copper coins.

Lin Xun knew without calculating that the price Shue Liang offered was not only fair but generous, and he certainly knew the reason.

However, he didn’t refuse the offer, but he insisted to settle at the market price when selling 150 kilograms of Feiyun Fire-copper hiding in the storing ring.

This behavior surprised Shue Liang, changing his impression of Lin Xun and disbanding all the previous unpleasantness.

Finally, Lin Xun got 550 silver coins by exchanging 150 kilograms of Feiyun Fire-copper, equaling to 55,000 copper coins.

It was really a tremendous fortune!

In the subsequent shopping, Lin Xun deeply understood the purchasing power of this fortune.

All the goods and materials he bought for the villagers of Feiyun Village merely cost 1,500 copper coins, in other words, merely 15 silver coins. And these daily supplies were enough for all villagers to sustain half of a year.

In addition, Lin Xun ordered a batch of spiritual medicine in Keystone Business, which were respectively “Qi Guiding Pill”, “Inner Strong Pill”, “Viscera Connecting Elixir” and “Orifices Connecting Panacea”. Ordinary medicine as they were, they were necessary for Martial Realm practitioners. and they were prepared for the children who were going to step on cultivation.

Besides those, Lin Xun bought himself some spiritual ink for inscribing spiritual tattoo, as well as some new clothes for himself and Shia Zhi.

All the things he bought only cost 400 silver coins, from which one could tell the amazing purchasing power of the Empire currency.

Consequently, it had been extremely difficult to earn the money. For Lin Xun, it was impossible for him to buy so many goods if not for selling 150 kilograms of Feiyun Fire-copper.
