Chapter 93: Rumors
It was a man with a slender figure and wearing a moonish-white long robe with a collar made of ferret fur. A snow-white long sword was sheathed at his waist, and he looked very handsome and heroic. There were two people next to him; one of them was a handsome young man who was dressed extravagantly, wearing a mink fur overcoat. The other was a woman who was actually Gu Qingluo.
For Gu Qingluo to appear in this place caused Su Chen quite some surprise. However, he concealed the surprise in his eyes extremely well.
But it was Mingshu who, upon seeing the male taking away the recipe, said unhappily, “Hey, who are you? Don’t randomly take other peoples’ things!”
“Hm?” The mink overcoat male looked at Mingshu, then looked at Su Chen and suddenly laughed, “Isn’t this the blind Young Master of the Su Clan? When did a blind Young Master become able to open a prescription?”
The well-dressed youth to his side laughed and said, “Perhaps his old illness has turned him into a doctor.”
The mink overcoat male said with a face of shock, “If that’s the case, he should be opening prescriptions to treat his eyes.”
The well-dressed youth replied, “Perhaps he also commonly experiences Origin Energy rebound.”
The two of them looked at each other, then began to laugh, wearing an unrestrained expression of mockery.
Gu Qingluo’s eyebrows slightly knitted together.
She had been in Northface City for quite some time, and she also knew that while the Four Great Clans were not at peace, they were also not at the point yet where they would fight with each other upon sight. These two people most likely were just performing in front of her.
Youths always believed that if they stepped on others, they could display their own strengths, obtaining the admiration of close female friends.
However, they didn’t know that girls didn’t like fighting, not to mention that Gu Qingluo and Su Chen were secretly friends. Even if they weren’t friends, she wouldn’t like their behavior.
Since the two of them didn’t know, they were busy inflating each other’s egos and were very pleased with themselves, as if they had no other way of displaying their heroism and greatness.
At that moment, Mingshu was already so angry that his face was red. He opened his mouth and cursed, “Where did the wild dogs come from and how do they dare howl at my Young Master?”
The mink overcoat male’s expression changed. “Courting death!”
He raised his hand, and a streak of wind shot out from his finger towards Mingshu.
Just as Mingshu was about to be hit by the blow, Su Chen grabbed Mingshu and pulled him backwards, dodging the wind. That finger strike landed on a nearby column, boring out a hole in it.
Su Chen slowly said, “Is the Lin Clan planning on doing battle with the Su Clan?”
The two of them were simultaneously stunned.
The well-dressed male said, “You know that we are from the Lin Clan?”
u Chen laughed, “Members of the Lin Clan always have a smelly odor about them. It would be difficult for me to avoid smelling it even if I wanted to.”
Because the Lin Clan was constantly raising beasts, it was unavoidable that they would be polluted by the smell of wild beasts. However, this odor was usually only found on servants, and it was impossible for these two, who were clearly Young Masters of the Lin Clan, to smell like that. Su Chen had said this on purpose, just like how the two of them had mocked that he was blind. It was a contest of wits – who was stronger, who was afraid of who?
The expression of the mink overcoat male once again changed. “Damned blind man, don’t think that just because you earned the top spot among the pile of trash in the Su Clan that you are something!”
He opened his right hand, and another vortex appeared in his hand. However, this time it had taken on the form of an arrow.
The mink overcoat male launched the air arrow towards Su Chen. The arrow let out an ominous hum as it shot towards Su Chen’s arm. Evidently, this attack was only meant to injure rather than take his life.
However, even if it was just an attack meant to injure, Su Chen couldn’t let him do whatever he wanted. He used his hand as a blade and chopped out towards the wind arrow. The wind arrow was cut into pieces. Surprisingly, it didn’t dissipate because of this; rather, it became ten or so even more tiny wind arrows, shooting towards Su Chen.
The mink overcoat male laughed, “Wind is formless. How could you defend against it so easily!”
Su Chen’s palm was placed in midair.
In the next moment, everyone seemed hear the low roar of thunder, as if it were a bell ringing from within their hearts. At the same time, it appeared as if it had never existed; the nearby assistants, the storekeepers – none of them seemed to have noticed it.
However, following this noiseless thunder, all of the wind arrows were completely dissipated.
Su Chen retrieved his palm and said with a gentle smile, “Such a large yet noiseless sound, how could you so easily hear it?”
When using the Thunder Blade to deal with the Wind Arrow, the two of them were actually evenly matched.
The mink overcoat male was also somewhat surprised. He evidently had not expected that Su Chen’s reaction would be so quick and accurate, and his strength had also exceeded his expectations.
He said with a savage expression, “Impressive, but it’s not enough. Try this one on for size!”
He was just about to make a move when Gu Qingluo suddenly interrupted, “Lin Yemao, Lin Jingxuan, are you finished yet? I am here to get medicine for Blue Night, not to watch you stir up trouble.”
“Qingluo.” The mink overcoat male’s expression instantly changed, and he gazed at Gu Qingluo, his face full of smiles.
Gu Qingluo had already turned around and left. “The battle between your Lin and Su Clans has nothing to do with me. Hurry and get the medicine and let’s leave. I don’t want to waste any time here.”
“Okay, okay!” the mink overcoat male hurriedly replied.
He fiercely glared at Su Chen and said, “Damned blind man, remember my name. I am Lin Yemao. On the day of the Hidden Dragon battle, I’ll give you something to look at.”
The well-dressed male also walked forwards and laughed, “My name is Lin Jingxuan, I await the day where we can do battle.”
As he spoke, he also left with the mink overcoat male and accompanied Gu Qingluo to go and buy medicine.
“Lin Yemao, Lin Jingxuan……” Su Chen repeated these two names in a low voice.
If he remembered correctly, these were two of the four names that Gu Qingluo had mentioned to him earlier.
That was to say that the four seedlings that the Lin Clan had sent to the Gu Clan had already returned?
It seemed that since the Hidden Dragon battle was near, the Lin Clan was no longer concealing their existence.
However, no one knew how their strength had increased upon entering the Gu Clan. This truly did make people look forward to it!
Su Chen paid them no more attention, instead returning to the Su palace upon purchasing the appropriate medicinal ingredients.
Upon arriving at the Su palace, a maidservant hurriedly rushed towards him. “Fourth Young Master, you’ve finally returned.”
“What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?” Su Chen asked.”
“It’s Madame…… Madame, she……” The maidservant was unable to continue for a moment.
Su Chen’s expression changed slightly. “What happened to mother?”
“Mother passed out after spitting out blood,” the maidservant finally replied.
