Chapter 102 (2/2)

Gu Liang said in dismay, “Why?”

Gu Yanping said meaningfully, “Clan of Wu and the president of Donglin School are not so mighty, but Yao Tuohai is a kittle cattle. Prime minister is his backer who associates with a lot of forces. What do you think the result would be if Lin Xun became Yao’s enemy?”

Gu Liang was horrified and his face changed slightly. After a long time, he ground his teeth and said, “Although Yao Tuohai is powerful, he didn’t catch Lin Xun in the end. No one knows who is the final winner as long as Lin Xun keeps working hard in cultivation.”

Gu Yanping said, “Although you don’t have enough confidence in speaking these words, as your father, I praise you. Power and situation are changeable. We can’t despise anyone when he is young and poor. Who can foresee all the changes in this world?”

“We can’t despise anyone when he is young and poor…” Gu Liang felt his blood boiling with excitement.

“Let’s go and see Lin Xun tomorrow…” Gu Yanping said, “Since you won’t give up your friendship, how can you stand by while your friend is in danger?”

Gu Liang nodded seriously.

…

At the same night, in the Courtyard 49 of the Civilian Area.

Lin Xun woke up from coma and found himself lying in a familiar room. He was confounded for a moment and finally realized what had happened before.

Who sent him back?

Lin Xun got up and lit a candle on the windowsill. The desk was shrouded in dim light, and the books that Shia Zhi had read in these days were neatly arranged on the desk.

It was late at night. Shia Zhi should have come back in usual times, then washed herself and laid quietly in bed.

But now, the bed was empty.

Lin Xun was in a daze for a long time. He pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard. Bright stars were shining in the night sky, sprinkling wisps of soft silver sheen, and the night was so quiet.

Lin Xun remembered that the bone spear of Shia Zhi also diffused a wisp of silver lights which was as beautiful and illusory as the stars in the sky.

“Would you like a drink!”

Suddenly, a gentle voice arose, as a gourd with liquor flew to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun caught it and saw an old man in a black court dress sitting under the old locust tree in the middle of his yard.

He recognized the old man who had followed the strange team to the Donglin School, and apparently it was the old man who had sent him home.

Lin Xun opened the gourd and took a few sips of the liquor silently. Although the liquor went through his throat like a knife, Lin Xun felt that the taste was still not strong enough.

“Thank you so much.”

Lin Xun returned him the gourd. “Thanks also to that…” He did not know how to call that mysterious, classical and noble woman for a while.

But the old man seemed to know who he mentioned about. He was a little surprised and asked, “You don’t hate my Lady?”

Lin Xun kept silence for a moment and said, “Hatred is useless, so I choose not to hate her.”

The old man seemed to understand Lin’s paradoxical words, and could not help nodding, “You are a smart boy.”

Lin Xun grinned bitterly, “Cleverness is also useless, and I can only passively accept everything ultimately.”

Speaking of this, Lin Xun seemed reluctant to mention it again, and said, “I haven’t known your name, my senior…?”

The old man waved his hand and said, “My name is not worth mentioning.”

Then he got up and looked directly at Lin Xun, “I am waiting for you here, to fulfill my Lady’s promise to give you a chance.”

Lin Xun frowned and said, “What’s it?”

The old man responded meaningfully, “A chance to get stronger.”

Lin Xun flatly refused, “Sorry, I won’t accept it.”

The old man sighed and said, “Boy, stubbornness is not the choice of wise people. You have not known what this chance means. If you can seize it, you may see the little girl again in the future.”

Lin Xun squinted and thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said a word, “Fine.”

The next morning, when Gu Yanping and Gu Liang arrived at the Courtyard 49, they had only visited the empty building, and even the books and other articles in the room had been cleared out.

“Come on, he’s gone.” Gu Yanping sighed.

“That’s it?” Gu Liang said angrily, “He never regards me as a friend at all!”

Gu Yanping murmured, “Maybe he has some problems we haven’t known.”

Gu Liang gritted his teeth and said, “Anyway, I will find him one day and give him a good beating. Otherwise, I will never forgive him for not saying goodbye!”

Soon later, Mu Wansu arrived at the yard too and she went back with a trace of sadness.

The little bastard who bothered her so much had gone now, which made her moods a little complicated.

Maybe at some day, they would meet again?

In the bright sunshine of early morning, an ordinary measure boat rose high into the air outside the Donglin Town, as the dense spiritual tattoos carved on its surface suddenly worked, giving out the spiritual light like ripples. The boat rushed into the distance instantly, like an arrow detaching from the string, crushing the clouds.

The treasure boat had a large space inside, but it was very shabby. A middle-aged man with whisker, exposing his hard bronzed chest, was sailing the boat. He was carrying a can of liquor and drinking constantly. He was sleepy-eyed from drink, with a red face, showing doughty and uninhibited momentum in his laziness.

When Lin Xun walked into the cabin under the guidance of the old man, he saw a young man who looked familiar.

At the same time, the young man saw Lin Xun and shouted angrily after a slight shock, “You little liar!” A punch came for Lin Xun heavily.
