《Battling Records of the Chosen One》C237. Sets of Tricks
Advertisement
Watching Lin Xun leave, Granny Wind suddenly recalled something and headed for Green-tea Pavilion.
Approaching the hall, Granny Wind overheard some conversations. Just what she feared: they were all talking about how to deal with Lin Xun and avenge Huang Jianxiong.
Granny Wind was enraged as she went into the hall with an indifferent face. Her entrance immediately silenced everyone.
Many people with discerning eyes noticed her bad mood, causing them to break out in a cold sweat. They weren’t clear about the subsequent proceedings after she took Lin Xun away.
Welcome to read all of the updated chapters of Battling Records of the Chosen One on Flying Lines.
Granny Wind ignored their gaze and announced directly, “Now Lin Xun is of great use to Miss Yan. If anyone dares to harm his life, don't blame me for being merciless!”
Her voice was indifferent and threatening.
This made all young guys from the Forbidden City frown in unwillingness.
But Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu and many other disciples of Mist City were shocked in their hearts. They had thought that Lin Xun’s bold attack of destroying the Ocean of Qi of Huang Jianxiong was tantamount to a complete fall out with the young men from the Forbidden City, and there must be catastrophic consequences for him.
However, it never occurred to them that just after a short conversation with Lin Xun, Granny Wind would took the initiative to help him in this matter!
This was too incredible. What important role Lin Xun had to let Granny Wind say so?
“Granny Wind, Childe Huang was crippled by that guy. Should this thing be so easily forgiven?”
A young man from Forbidden City opened his mouth and complained in a low voice.
Granny Wind coldly declared, “At least before he helped Yan out, this affair can only be set aside.”
This answer was thought-provoking, stimulating many different ideas in their minds.
At this time, Young Sword King Shie Yutang requested, “Granny Wind, is it okay to just make sure Lin left alive?”
This question led all eyes to focus on Granny Wind.
She became silent for a moment and sighed, “Yutang, come with me.”
With that, she turned and left.
This was the second time Granny Wind had left the hall, but the real owner of Green-tea Pavilion had not come yet. Someone could not help asking, “Granny Wind, will Miss Yan...”
Granny Wind was in a daze, but then realized something. She said casually, “Go home please. Miss Yan has something important to do today. You can come again another day.”
Suddenly, many people felt disappointed. They had all come here to meet Liu Qingyan, but they got such a result even after waiting for a long time, which made them quite depressed.
“Damn it, this is all Lin Xun's fault!”
Someone’s grumbling immediately aroused the anger of others.

“That’s it! If this guy hadn’t injured Childe Huang so arrogantly, how could there be so many problems?”
“Miss Yan must be helpless to this too. According to her temperament, we wouldn’t be kept waiting foolishly without any results!”
“Wait and see what Granny Wind will tell Childe Shie. Anyway, I won’t let go of Lin so easily!”
There was a lot of discussion in the hall. Many people gnashed their teeth when hearing Lin Xun's name.
The group of Wen Mingxiu, however, were trembling with fear and worried secretly. They didn't want to get involved in this trouble anymore, so they left without further ado.
What happened today made them realize that it was necessary to report this event to the elders of the clan. Lin Xun's origin wasn’t as ordinary as they had previously thought, and he also had a grudge against the young guys from the Forbidden City. They had to consult with the elders of the clan and convey their own opinions.
Should they stand on the side of the young guys from the Forbidden City, or on the side of Lin Xun, or be neutral?
This choice was crucial. If they did not make a stand, it was bound to be unpleasant for both sides when facing problems like today’s. The consequences were not acceptable.
...
Instead of returning home directly, Lin Xun came to the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists and informed Chu Feng that the matter had been settled so he need not worry about it anymore.
Chu Feng had been really anxious. From the time Lin Xun left with Granny Wind, he was distraught with multitude of thoughts. Seeing Lin Xun return safely at this moment, he was finally relieved, laughing, “Come on, what on earth did the old woman require?”
Lin Xun thought about it and replied, “Just restoring a unique musical instrument. I accepted it since it is within my ability.”
Chu Feng was surprised, “Musical instrument? Is the young lady of Granny Wind an artistic practitioner?”
Lin Xun exclaimed, “Quite brilliant. You’ve almost guessed it even with such a small clue.”
Chu Feng became curious, “Who is it?”
Lin Xun casually said, “You should have heard the name of Liu Qingyan, the famous artistic practitioner in the empire.”
Chu Feng was flabbergasted and showed a rare excitement, “It's Miss Liu Qingyan! God! She came to Mist City in advance! I am a loyal supporter of her. I was amazed by her performance of ‘Water Dragon Chant - Sword Song’ in the Forbidden City. I discovered that there could be such a beautiful voice in the world for the first time in my life.”
Speaking of this, Chu Feng looked at Lin Xun with excited eyes, “Young Brother, did you really meet Liu Qingyan? What... What did she say to you?"
Lin Xun was stunned as he could not imagine that Chu Feng, superintendent of Mist City’s Commune of Spiritual Tattooists and also a high-ranking Spiritual Tattooist, would be a devoted fan of Liu Qingyan.

Did Liu Qingyan really have such great charm?
Lin Xun muttered that to himself in his heart but answered with only a few words, “We didn’t really talk about anything except how to repair her musical instrument.”
Instead of being disappointed, Chu Feng looked at Lin Xun with envy and whined, “Do you know, my brother, how rare this opportunity is? No one in the world can be like you and be entertained by Miss Liu Qingyan in person. I really envy your luck.”
Lin Xun felt speechless and excused himself, “If there is nothing else, I’ll go home first.”
Chu Feng hurriedly stopped him. “Wait, wait. There’s one more thing. Can you… take me to meet Miss Liu Qingyan someday?”
Lin Xun turned a blind eye to his ramblings and headed outside. He didn’t expect that Chu Feng would be so obsessed with an artistic practitioner considering his status.
Lin Xun didn’t know that Chu Feng was quite moderate in his behavior. There were many prominent figures in the whole empire who praised Liu Qingyan highly. Some of them had done a lot of absurd and crazy things just to see her.
Therefore, in Chu Feng's eyes, Lin Xun was the abnormal one to not feel anything special when he saw Liu Qingyan.
...
When Lin Xun returned home, the first thing he did was to find Shue Jin and offered him a pot of Soul-burning liquor, “Thank you for your company today.”
Shue Jin wondered, “Why are you being so sensitive??”
Lin Xun smiled. “I know you've been hiding in the shadows and have seen everything in Green-tea Pavilion clearly, right?”
Shue Jin said happily, “That's just your presumption. How can I do such a dishonorable thing? But you, buddy, indeed have a conscience to bring me back a jar of liquor.”
With that, he raised the wine jar to drink cheerfully.
Lin Xun recalled what he had done in Green-tea Pavilion today and frowned, “Jin, what serious consequences will there be since I have crippled a young man from Forbidden City?”
Shue Jin looked at Lin Xun contemptuously. “Are you feeling regret after committing the deed?”
Lin Xun laughed, “If I hadn’t known that you were there, I would not have done it. At the very least, I would have endured it like a turtle and settle scores later.”
Shue Jin was surprised, “Could you really withstand the humiliation from the attack of Bloody Spirit-piercing Crossbow at that time? I thought you would have regretted not killing him right then due to your character.”
Lin Xun said triumphantly, “Jin, you admitted that you were there at that time. However, you're wrong as I didn't mean to kill Huang Jianxiong. It’s more unbearable for Huang Jiaxiong to be crippled than to be killed.”
Shue Jin’s eyelids twitched, “You’re really cruel. What if Shie Yutang chose to kill you at all costs at that time?”
Lin Xun asked Shue Jin intentionally, “Would you have just watched without interfering?”
“You are playing with fire, young man. When you pass the Province Test, my task will be completed. By then, who else can help you?” Shue Jin glanced fiercely at Lin.
Lin Xun calmly replied, “I can understand my own situation clearly. As I just said, if you were not there today, I would have endured even more humiliation. I won’t take my own life lightly.”
Knowing this, Shue Jin did not say much more, but he was filled with emotion. Lin Xun, unlike other young people, knew how to make use of all available resources and react to changing situations with a cool head. It seemed that he would do anything to survive, no matter if it was shameless or mean.
If he grew up, no one could predict what kind of person he would become.
But it was without a shadow of doubt that killing Lin Xun was not an easy thing at all, no matter who wanted him to die.
Next, they talked about restoring the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina. Shue Jin could not help laughing when he learned that Lin Xun had extorted a huge fortune from Granny Wind for revenge and she had to agree with Lin’s plan.
“This old lady suffers a loss finally… Ha, it’s really pleasant to hear this!”
Shue Jin laughed so hard that tears were streaming down his eyes.
Lin Xun smiled at Shue Jin and suddenly asked, “You know Granny Wind?”
Shue Jin froze and restrained his laughter immediately. He knew he had no way out of this. He sighed, “You, this deceptive guy. You’ve been tricking and sounding out me since the beginning of the conversation. Do you really think I haven’t realized it?”
Without waiting for Lin’s explanation, Shue Jin muttered, “Granny Wind? Humph, everyone who knows her calls her Mad Woman. This old fogy is a powerful character. You don’t need to know her origin. You just need to know that if she wants to deal with you, I’ll choose to stand by. Don’t blame me. I’ll be tormented by her if I help you. Being her opponent will just bring bloodiest bad luck...”
The more Lin heard, the worse he felt, foreboding that something bad would happen. He had offended Granny Wind today. While according to Shue Jin, it was not wise to offend her.
Lin Xun shook his head fiercely and stopped thinking about it anymore. He consoled himself that such a senior should not bother with a young man like him.

Much like his father before him, the new master of House Doom is a prodigy of war, yet the venerable minions of his household still hold strange loyalties toward his missing ancestor, silently comparing the legendary rage of his father to the more pragmatic approach of the son. Adding to Basil’s frustrations is the lack of accomplishment he feels for his work, with the dungeon keeper often taking on handicaps just to give his enemies a fighting chance. With all the power and wealth one could ever dream of already within his grasp, Basil now finds that the achievements of others kindle more joy in his heart than his own crushing victories. Thus Basil has taken up mentoring the next generation of dungeon keepers to try and diagnose the cause for his own lack of passion. With his apprentice, Elnora, managing most of the daily work around the dungeon, Basil can finally turn his attention towards his personal concerns, such as tackling the shadow of his legendary father that still looms large over him.
