Chapter 576. Wang Lin, Attack Me At Full Power! (1/2)

Another bang came from Hong Prison. As the dust and dirt were kicked into the air, the silver sword proudly let out a sword hymn and flew off into the distance.

Wang Lin looked at the direction of the Emperor’s sword as it flew away, and he faintly smiled. “Why is this sword acting like a child? It can’t find me, so now it has a grudge with Hong Prison. How many times has it been, 10 times?”

Mo Lihai sat opposite of Wang Lin. He could only bitterly smile, but at the same time he also admired Wang Lin. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was looking at Wang Lin, he wouldn’t have been able to find Wang Lin at all.

This was proven true by the fact that the Emperor’s sword had passed by many times and still wasn’t able to find Wang Lin.

Thinking about how he didn’t even notice Wang Lin leaving the hole a few days ago, his evaluation of Wang Lin increased a lot.

In addition to all of this, after Wang Lin came back from Hong Prison, Mo Lihai felt like Wang Lin was like a different person. This was especially true whenever he looked at the flashing symbol on Wang Lin’s forehead. This symbol could make his heart jump.

He didn’t ask for details, but he guessed that for Wang Lin to anger the Emperor’s sword, Wang Lin had to have either succeed in his spell or had a fortunate encounter.

“What is your current strength? How is your strength compared to back when you were in Ancient Demon City?” After pondering for a long time, Mo Lihai decided to ask. He wanted to know what position he could get in the demon general competition!

There are two chances during the demon general competition. If the demon general loses, then their helper can fight instead! However, there is a requirement for the helper too: that person can’t be a native and has to be a foreigner!

This is why the demon general chose Wang Lin.

Wang Lin’s voice was calm as he slowly said, “Even without that palm, I can still win against you!”

Mo Lihai stared at Wang Lin. After a long time, he laughed and said, “Good. With those words, it looks like my effort wasn’t wasted! Brother Wang, the demon emperor will personally be at the demon general competition in half a month. If you do well and I nominate you, you will for sure get the position of demon general!”

Wang Lin smiled but didn’t speak.

Mo Lihai pondered a bit and then said, in a serious tone, “Brother Wang, you need to return early today. Tonight, I’ll take you to meet someone important!”

Wang Lin nodded, then he stood up and said, “Brother Mo can rest assured!”

The two of them looked at each other and both laughed. Mo Lihai felt very happy and smiled. “Then this older brother won’t disturb you. You go listen to the zither music.”

Wang Lin listening to the zither music by the river was not some secret, so Mo Lihai naturally knew.

Wang Lin walked out of the Mo Mansion.

Wang Lin silently sat on the side of the river with a jar of wine that he would occasionally drink from. He looked very calm, and his heart was at peace.

During this period of time, Wang Lin would sit here every day, waiting for the boat to pass so he could hear the zither music. However, the music had changed greatly from before; it was now a happy song that hid the sorrow deep within.

But Wang Lin didn’t try to change it by force. He was just a passerby and viewed the various emotions with the mentality of a passerby.

Even until now, he didn’t know what the woman looked like. None of this was important, what was important was that he was listening, earnestly listening.

When listening to the zither music that touched the sealed memories in his heart, he had a feeling he hadn’t felt in a long time. Wang Lin’s heart was extremely calm right now.

The zither music arrived before the boats appeared. This seemingly cheerful zither music revealed sadness and helplessness. Following the zither music, the boats slowly arrived.

The zither player at the head of the boat still had her back toward Wang Lin. Her jade-like hand moved, creating the zither music that slowly diffused into the air. Today there was only one person sitting before her.

This was a young man about 27 or 28 years old. He was wearing a green robe, and although he looked ordinary, he gave off a very clean feeling. There wasn’t any demonic spiritual energy about him as he sat there drinking fine wine and listening to the zither music.

The young man placed down the cup and softly asked, “Can… you not play like this? I want to hear your music!”

The woman stopped playing. After pondering for a long time, she nodded, and her jade hands began to play once more. The sadness from the music gradually echoed through the area as if the music itself had fused with the ripples created by the boat and spread to the sides of the river.

The ripples stopped just before reaching Wang Lin, but the music didn’t stop and entered Wang Lin’s ears.

The youth on the boat slowly closed his eyes and carefully savored the sadness and pain in the zither music.

Wang Lin also closed his eyes and became immersed in the zither music. It was as if the music had fused into his mind and wouldn’t disappear for a while.

The two of them, one of them on the boat and one of them on the shore. Although both were comprehending different things, there was now a connection.

Wang Lin opened his eyes and looked toward the boat for the first time. His gaze fell on the woman and then moved to the young man.

At this moment, this person also opened his eyes and looked at Wang Lin.

The two of them looked at each other for a while before Wang Lin raised his jar as a gesture and took a big gulp. The youth on the boat revealed a smile as he raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp.

The boat gradually went off into the distance and disappeared from Wang Lin’s view. Only the faint zither music would still float in from the distance.

The woman on the boat playing the zither turned around toward the shore in the distance. In her eyes, everything was still dark.

The youth put down the wine cup and softly said, “There is a person there!”

Ming Xuan didn’t speak. She turned her head around and continued to play the sad music.

The young man faintly smiled. “What an interesting little fellow…”

It was night when Wang Lin returned to the Mo Mansion. Shortly after, he and Mo Lihai left together and entered Xuan City.

Although Xuan City was about the same size as Hong City, it looked completely different. The city was lit up, and among the pedestrians, there were more armored soldiers.

Mo Lihai stopped outside a mansion in Xuan City, then he took out a letter, which he passed to the guard outside. The guard took the letter and immediately went inside the mansion.

Wang Lin examined the mansion and his gaze stopped at the plaque on the mansion’s entrance.

“Vice Commander-in-Chief Xuan’s Mansion”
