Chapter 58 (2/2)
Speaking of this, Shue Liang’s face filled with admiration and his voice shook with emotion.
Shue Liang regained his posture after a long time. “However, it is difficult to enter the Green-deer School. Since it only enrolls one hundred students a year, only 1% of the participants of Nation Test get the chance to enter the school.” he said, smiling bitterly.
Lin Xun, in silence, digested what he said for a long while, and could not help but sigh, “The Green-deer School is really impressive. Even the currency circulating in the Empire is imprinted with patterns about it.”
“That’s right!” with sympathy Shue Liang said: “Then again, each test of the Empire for selecting talents, with a lot behind it, should not be taken lightly. If you plan to take the test, you can go to Donglin Town for specific information. I hear that the County Test of Donglin Town is about to begin in two months.”
“I’ll think about it.” Lin Xun nodded.
While they talked, the group had already traveled outside of the Green-sun Tribe.
Here, Lin Xun took the initiative to leave and said, “Uncle Shue, it’s time to say goodbye.”
“Well, take care.” Shue Liang nodded.
Lin Xun smiled, turning the scaled-horse and riding away, and the two guardians from Keystone Business followed him with the cargo.
“Though a bit reckless last night, this young fellow is actually quite tactful and sophisticated. Barring accidents, he will certainly become somebody someday. But it is a pity that he was born in a remote and poor place with narrow horizon knowledge and little experience, for which he may encounter a lot of twists and turns in the future…”
Shue Liang silently looked into the distance until their figures disappeared. Then he turned back to Green-sun Tribe.
…
Meanwhile in Wu Business.
Wu Deyong sat in the hall, with his eyes bloodshot and face looking somber.
He never expected that a young boy from Feiyun Village would become an honored guest of Keystone Business. And even Yan Zhen, shopkeeper of Keystone Business, personally backed up this boy. Wu Deyong had to calm his fury.
The colossal force of Keystone Business was too horrible that even the Wu Clan behind Wu Deyong couldn’t afford to offend it.
Compared with Keystone Business, they were as small as ants in front of a towering tree. If they wanted to pick a fight, Keystone Business could crush them without striking a blow.
Thus, they had to put up with it.
At that moment, a servant hurriedly came to report, saying, “The boy has left Green-sun Tribe, accompanied by two escorts of Keystone Business.”
The news was the last straw and Wu Deyong got livid. To his surprise, Keystone Business sent escorts! This clearly warned Wu Business not to do something excessive!
“Master, can we just let it go? Mad Dog Wu Jie and some others were all killed by the boy. Now everyone in Green-sun Tribe knows it. If we don’t seek revenge, how can we strut about full of attitude in Green-sun Tribe from now on?”
At one side of the hall, a middle-aged man said in anger, and others nodded, “Aye”.
Wu Deyong thundered, “Don’t let it go? You want revenge and to offer Keystone Business an excuse to wipe us all out?”
All at once, the crowd went quiet out of fear.
After gasping for a long time, Wu Deyong calmed down and said, “This is over. Don’t mention it again!”
A guy could not help saying, “But now there is still no news on Master Deacon Wu Henshui. Forget it too?”
“Idiot! The young boy single-handedly made a round trip of killing in Green-sun Tribe, do you really think Wu Henshui is still alive?” said Wu Deyong, the corners of his mouth twitching when it came to Wu Henshui.
The crowd fell completely silent. They also knew that it was likely that Wu Henshui had been killed. However, they were extremely unwilling to let Lin Xun go like this. This was not only about their prestige, but also the reputation of Wu Business in Green-sun Tribe!
“Master, it’s inappropriate to strike down Lin Xun by ourselves, but we can get somebody else to do it. Why not hire some desperados?”
The suggestion was made after a long silence.
Hearing these words, Wu Deyong slapped on the table and fulminated with anger “Have you all forgotten what Yan Zhen said last night? Should anything bad happen to that boy, whether it’s on us or not, Keystone Business will eradicate us immediately! Do you know what this means? It means that even if the young boy dies in the mouth of a beast, we will suffer the full revenge from Keystone Business. A bunch of morons! Speaking without thinking!”
The crowd got depressed right away and were extremely aggrieved. Keystone Business really pushed it too far!
A moment later, seeing nobody spoke again, Wu Deyong took a deep breath and said, “Of course, blood must be paid in blood and it’s only a matter of time. Don’t you forget that Lian Rufeng, captain of the guardians in Feiyun Village, left together with Wu Henshui. I remember that his son – Lianfei – is in Donglin Town for cultivation. Upon a proper opportunity, Lian Fei may come in handy….”
At the end of the words, a grim tone wavered in his voice.
