Chapter 404 - Chapter 404: Chapter 104 Ye Yun (2/2)
the squint-eyed old man said:
“the senior may not know this…”
“previously, our store had an accident where someone broke the cage from the outside and kidnapped all the ‘goods’ we had imprisoned inside.”
“that incident caused our store heavy losses…”
“ever since then, we fortified the cage with heavy defenses, in order to prevent this from happening again.”
upon hearing this, lin jing nodded and said,
“no wonder…”
then, lin jing said to the squint-eyed elder,
“alright…”
“just hand the young man over to me.”
“yes, senior…” replied the squint-eyed elder.
he directly transferred the dark-skinned young man to lin jing.
afterward, lin jing directly said to the dark-skinned young man,
“from now on, you belong to me. just follow me, and if you don’t obey, you know what the consequences will be…”
the dark-skinned young man nodded, then silently followed behind lin jing with his head down.
seeing this, the squint-eyed elder quickly expressed his admiration,
“when the senior makes a move, it truly is extraordinary.”
“this kid was always obstinate and unmanageable, but now he’s behaving properly with just one sentence from the senior.”
lin jing raised his hand to stop the squint-eyed elder from continuing and then said,
“that’s enough…”
“that’s all for today. i need to prepare to attend the auction tomorrow.”
after speaking, lin jing took the dark-skinned young man and walked outside.
just before leaving, the squint-eyed elder made an extra effort to escort lin jing out.
after escorting him out of the shop, the squint-eyed elder looked at lin jing’s retreating figure and couldn’t help but sigh,
“golden core cultivator…”
“when will i be able to reach the golden core…”
……
after lin jing left, he took the dark-skinned young man and departed the trading market.
the two of them found an inn called guest residence in black shark city and checked in.
once the two entered their room in the inn, lin jing used his spiritual power to envelop the entire room.
he then said to the dark-skinned young man,
“alright, now you can tell me exactly what’s going on.”
the dark-skinned young man was visibly excited and quickly bowed deeply to lin jing, saying,
“thank you, senior, for saving my life.”
lin jing waved his hand and said,
“no need…”
after finishing, he continued,
“right…”
“i still don’t know your name.”
the dark-skinned young man said,
“responding to the senior, my name is ye yun.”
lin jing nodded and said,
“alright, ye yun, rest here for now. you surely understand that lin jue was sold off to the auction house, and i am going to check out the black shark auction house, so i’ll be prepared for tomorrow.”
however, ye yun suddenly knelt down and said,
“senior…”
“it’s all my fault. if it weren’t for my issues, lin jue wouldn’t have left bihai city and wouldn’t have been captured by them.”
lin jing then extended his hand, lifting ye yun with his spiritual power, and said,
“you don’t need to do this…”
“you’re not to blame for this at all.”
“i already have a clear understanding of the whole story and the scheming of those two people.”
“even without your incident, they would have found other ways to abduct lin jue.”
“it was only a matter of time…”
as he said this, lin jing suddenly changed his tone and continued,
“furthermore…”
“i have already killed those two people, so you don’t have to worry anymore.”
hearing that lin jing had killed those two, ye yun was momentarily stunned, and then realizing the implication, said,
“the senior killed them?”
“but weren’t those two from the black shark gang? if the senior just killed them like that, won’t there be any trouble?”
lin jing replied,
“it’s hard to say about this—those two were just peripheral members of the black shark gang, so typically, killing them wouldn’t matter much.”
“but we are on black xing island, which is practically the black shark gang’s stronghold. killing their people will definitely cause some trouble…”
“however, no one knows about it yet.”
“so, i must take this time to get all of you out. and, you must remember to keep this a secret.”
ye yun nodded repeatedly and said,
“don’t worry, senior. i’ll just wait here for you and not go anywhere. after you rescue lin jue, we can leave together.”
lin jing nodded, then as if suddenly remembering something, he took out a token from his storage bag and tossed it to ye yun.
“this token is what controls the forbidden spell inside you. you take it and destroy it.”
ye yun took the token, bowed deeply, and said to lin jing,
“thank you, senior.”
lin jing waved his hand and then, after giving a few instructions to ye yun, left the guest residence.
