Chapter 338 - Infant-shaped Snow Ginseng (1/2)
Heart-cleansing Hall
Zhu Laosan stood there like a majestic mountain, a long shadow cast on the ground.
His messy beard was like wild grass on his dark face. His bronze muscle was as strong as hard rock and his hands were large and veined, giving out an unshakable momentum even though he just stood still without any movement.
At the first sight of Zhu Laosan, Lin Xun felt a shock in his heart and an inexpressible feeling of oppression.
It seemed that Zhu Laosan was a king of war who had just stepped out of the bloody battlefield. His unique temperament of bloodthirsty couldn’t be concealed at all.
He was terribly strong!
He must have reached Tao Insight Realm at least!
Lin Xun was surprised. He didn’t expect that the great man who came to repay kindness would be such a powerful one.
While Lin Xun looked at Zhu Laosan, Zhu Laosan also raised his head and looked at Lin Xun. His face was expressionless and his eyes were calm. But Lin Xun felt a sharp pain all over at Zhu Laosan’s single glance!
Fortunately, just a moment later, Zhu Laosan took back his sight and said in a muffled voice, “My name is Zhu Laosan. Five hundred and seventy-six years ago, I was in a desperate situation when the Empire attacked the Dark Army for the 19th time. Fortunately, I was saved from death with the help of your grandfather Lin Daochen.”
The dull voice resounded through the spacious hall, “I swore that I would repay his grace of saving my life!”
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking and fell silent.
Had he finished?
Lin Xun was stunned and waited for a while. But Zhu Laosan had no intention to continue, so Lin Xun couldn’t help saying, “My grandfather had already died, you are late.”
“It’s not too late,” said Zhu Laosan, “You are his grandson, I should treat you as my benefactor instead.”
To tell the truth, it was undoubtedly an exciting thing for Lin Xun, who was extremely short of manpower, to have such a strongman come to repay his kindness.
But he couldn’t agree it in casual.
“More than ten years ago… there was a bloody affair in Lin Family, all my father and relatives were died. Why didn’t you appear at that time if you want to repay? ”
Lin Xun’s eyes were deep. He looked directly at Zhu Laosan, waiting for his answer.
At this moment, Lin Xun was acutely aware that an undetectable emotion flashed through his tough eyes. He seemed to suffer pains of blaming himself.
But immediately, he restore calmness and said, “When I hurried back to the Forbidden City from the battlefield, the murderers had disappeared.”
He didn’t explain much.
He was like an indifferent rock that others couldn’t pry into his inner emotions and thoughts.
However, Lin Xun understood what he meant instantly.
After the bloody incident, everyone thought that people of their linage had died. In addition, the enemy was from the mysterious Clan of Heaven-accessing Sword. Under such circumstances, even if Zhu Laosan wanted to repay, he could not do it at all.
“I just returned to Heart-cleansing Peak yesterday. How do you recognize my identity?”
Lin Xun suddenly asked.
“I heard it from the son of Fortune God Shi,” said Zhu Laosan.
“Is it Shi Yu?”
Lin Xun was stunned. This answer subsided his doubts. He had made up his mind to take a chance to ask Shi Yu about the origin of Zhu Laosan someday.
Lin Xun asked again, “How are you going to repay me?”
Zhu Laosan answered, “I only know how to fight. You can take me as your protector. I will leave until I feel that I have paid it off.”
Lin Xun nodded and said, “What can I do for you?”
Zhu Laosan replied, “Daily meals are enough for me. I will not interfere in your life. I only appear when you need me.”
Lin Xun finally dared to confirm that Zhu Laosan really came to repay his grandfather’s kindness. He couldn’t help feeling moved.
Although his grandfather, who he had not met before, had already gone, the blessings and influences his grandfather had left in those years continued up to today. It could be imagined how high his prestige and reputation were in those years!
Zhu Laosan was a wonderful man too. He remembered the kindness for so many years. Who would be as persistent as him if this thing happened to others?
This was the real man!
He believed in his promise and practiced all the words he had said!
Lin Zhong sent Zhu Laosan out of the hall. He came back after a while and reported, “Young master, I have arranged his residence.”
Lin Xun said with thoughts, “What do you think of this man, Granddad Zhong?”
After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhong said quickly, “This is a Tao Insight Realm man. He must have been fighting in the battlefield all the year round so he is full of fierce killing momentum. I think there’s no problem in his words and deeds.”
Lin Xun suddenly asked, “Can you defeat him?”
“Er…”
This question was unexpected for Lin Zhong so he was stunned and replied unnaturally, “Young master, I am an old servant. I can’t compete with that strong man.”
Lin Xun said with a smile, “Granddad Zhong, I can’t detect the strength of Zhu Laosan, but you can judge accurately that he is a Tao Insight Realm strongman. This is a little strange.”
Lin Zhong wryly smiled, “Young master, you misunderstand me. I have followed the patriarch for many years and saw many Tao Insight Realm practitioners. So I could easily tell Zhu Laosan’s realm by dint of my experience.”
Lin Xun sighed then, “I got it. I will not ask you anymore. Go down.”
