Gu Liang looked at people kneeling on the ground. He could not help breathing in cool air.
From the beginning to the end, Lin Xun did not threaten them at all, but these ruffians were forced to kneel and apologized for what they had done. That was amazing!
What was more, things didn’t come to an end with just that. Lin Xun ignored those kneeling ruffians but looked at the worried Old Qian.
“You…”
As Lin Xun opened his mouth, Old Qian knelt on the ground with a POP. He said bitterly, “I regret all my faults, and I beg for your forgiveness this time.”
Lin Xun slightly raised his lips. This old man was like a wily fox. He lowered his posture and made Lin feel a little sorry to find more troubles with him.
Gu Liang was completely shocked at this moment. Kneeling ruffians were just common people while this old goatee beard man was from Azure-light Pavilion!
It seemed too incredible that even Old Qian knelt directly to Lin Xun.
Gu Liang did not know that after that night’s battle, Lin Xun had already become the most feared rival of more than ten powerful forces in the city. Even Qi Yunxiao, the young chief of Azure-light Pavilion, had suffered a lot in Lin Xun’s hands, let alone Old Qian.
Honestly speaking, Old Qian was not someone important. He was just a simple steward in Azure-light Pavilion who had the same status as managers. Only ruffians treated him as a big man.
“Tell me the truth.”
Lin Xun sat in a chair and asked casually.
Old Qian shivered all over and looked pale. He thought that Lin Xun was still angry with him. So he gritted his teeth and slapped himself loudly and crisply. Soon, his thin cheek became red and swollen.
“I know I’m wrong! Please forgive us!”
Old Qian begged endlessly as he slapped himself. He knew that if Lin did not forgive him, the big shots of Azure-light Pavilion would punish him heavily!
He had to do this for the sake of his future and his life.
He had seen Lin Xun’s ways. This fellow looked young and innocent. But as long as someone understood him, he would be left frightened and scared.
Nowadays, among the more than ten powerful forces in Mist City, Lin Xun was like a taboo. Who dared to trouble him? If there was one, he absolutely don’t want his life!
Gu Liang was stunned. The ruffians who knelt on the ground also looked dull. Was this the Old Qian they knew?
“Don’t be so nervous. I just want to know why were you dealing with Golden Hall? You can leave when you make it clear.”
Lin Xun glanced at Old Qian.
Old Qian felt relieved in his heart after hearing Lin’s words. How would it be a shame if he could live after offending Lin?
“Childe Lin, this is a mistake.”
Old Qian took a deep breath and explained, “If I knew that Golden Hall has something to do with you, I would not have caused trouble…”
Old Qian had taken a fancy to the shop that Gu Liang rented before, so he was depressed about that. However, the inquiry showed that Gu Liang was just a young foreigner, so he planned to take action.
Using his strength, Old Qian sent a group of ruffians to bother Gu Liang and wanted to throw Gu Liang away to take the store for himself.
He never thought that Gu Liang, a weak outsider in his eyes, was actually friends with Lin Xun…
Knowing all this, Lin Xun was speechless. Originally, he thought that Azure-light Pavilion might be aware of Gu Yanping’s ability, so they incited the old man to prevent Golden Hall from laying their roots in the Mist City.
Who would have thought that the truth would be so simple?
Gu Liang was relieved to learn all this. As long as it wasn’t the pressure from Azure-light Pavilion, things would be easy to deal with.
“Get out of here.”
Lin Xun waved his hand.
Old Qian was stunned. He couldn’t believe that Lin Xun would let himself go so easily, “Childe Lin, do you really forgive my mistakes?”
Lin Xun did not have a good temper, “Go away, or don’t blame me for beating you.”
At this time, Old Qian finally got up with complete confidence and fled with the group of ruffians.
“Since things have settled, I should go now. If you encounter any troubles in the future, you must come to me. Of course, make sure I am still in Mist City.”
Lin Xun got up and told Gu Liang his address with a smile and intended to leave.
Gu Liang stopped him, “Wait a minute.”
Lin Xun wondered, “What else is it?”
Gu Liang seemed to hesitate about something in his heart. At last, he gritted his teeth and offered, “Lin Xun, since we are friends, I would like to say it straight. I want to invite you to join the Golden Hall. In the future, you can share the income of Golden Hall!”
