Chapter 340: Malicious Guests

Translator: Flying Lines

Guest Deacon Xiao Fengru of Westbrook Lin

Guest Deacon Chang Ziheng of Floating-cloud Lin

Guest Deacon Shi Zhan of Flying-peak Lin

Deacon Lin Dahong of Northlight Lin

Lin Zhong handed over a note with the names of the people who would come to Heart-cleansing Peak.

That was interesting!

At a glance, Lin Xun saw some subtleties in this list.

Westbrook Lin, Floating-cloud Lin and Flying-peak Lin sent three guest deacons. Although they seemed to have a high position, they were outsiders after all.

Only Northlight Lin sent a real clansman.

Something could be seen from this.

“These three branches sent outsiders. Do they think I’m not qualified enough for them to send important clansmen?”

Lin Xun thought for a while.

Immediately he asked, “What do you think, Granddad Zhong?”

Lin Zhong’s face was solemn, “They are malicious guests.”

Lin Xun said with a flash of coldness in his black eyes, “Granddad Zhong, take Zhu Laosan. If these visitors are making trouble, we can take this opportunity to test Zhu Laosan’s strength.”

Lin Zhong was stunned. He nodded his head and carried out Lin Xun’s order.

…

On the first floor of Heart-cleansing Peak

It was noon.

In the central seat, Lin Xun sat quietly, but he was thinking about something.

Vulture left yesterday with Young Ke, but they had not come back yet. Were they meeting troubles when they recruited people?

“It’s noon, young master.”

Lin Zhong reminded him next.

Lin Xun said with a smile, “Granddad Zhong, they are testing my patience. Of course, they may delay on purpose. Anyway, I am looking forward to their coming this time.”

He opened his lips and said in a plain voice, but there was no happiness in his deep dark eyes.

Anyone could notice that Lin Xun was satirizing!

“By the way, Zhu Laosan, what’s your real name?”

Lin Xun turned to look at Zhu Laosan on the other side.

“I don’t have a name.”

Zhu Laosan replied in a sullen voice. His figure was majestic and big, his hair was scrawled. His eyes were slightly closed. He stood there like a sculpture.

Lin Xun didn’t say much again.

Zhu Laosan was a silent person that looked like a piece of iron. He wouldn’t reply much no matter how many questions were raised to him.

As it a long time passed noon, Lin Xun remained still, but Lin Zhong’s eyebrows were gradually wrinkled.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the hall.

“I’m sorry to keep you waiting because of our delay.”

A voice of apology sounded before someone appeared. Lin Xun looked up and saw a fat middle-aged man coming with well dress.

“Young master, this is Lin Dahong. According to your positions in the family, he is your uncle.”

Lin Zhong explained in a low voice.

Lin Xun didn’t come up or welcome them. He sat still, looked at Lin Dahong and said, “Take a seat please.”

However, Lin Dahong didn’t sit down. He cupped his hands and said with guilty, “I should apologize for my late. We’ve agreed to come together. Who ever thought that they are all held up in their important tasks, so I give up waiting them for more time and come first.”

His attitude seemed sincere, which surprised Lin Xun and made him relaxed a lot. At least Lin Dahong didn’t show any evil intention.

In addition, it was clearly indicated in the note that among the four representatives sent by Lin’s four branches, only Lin Dahong was Lin Family’s member, which made Lin Xun’s attitude towards Northlight Lin change a lot.

“Held up in important matters? I think they take this opportunity to mess up with me. ”

Lin Xun said quietly.

Lin Dahong just smiled and didn’t answer.

“Please take a seat.”

Lin Xun took a deep look at Lin Dahong and invited him to take a seat again.

“Thank you very much,” Lin Dahong said with a smile

He chose a seat at will and sat down. Then he looked at Lin Xun who was sitting in the central seat.

“Young master, do you want to start meeting?”

Lin Zhong asked in a low voice.

“Let’s wait for a moment.”

Lin Xun waved his hand and said, “Wouldn’t it be too boring without the representatives of other three branches of Lin Family?”

Lin Dahong’s eyes narrowed as if he was thinking.

He didn’t say much as he sat. Lin Xun seemed not to speak first either. So the atmosphere in the hall became dull.

Before long, there was a conversation outside the hall.

“For more than ten years, it’s really sad to see a desolate Heart-cleansing Peak.”

“Who is to blame? If three of us didn’t move away from here, how could such treasure land become like this? ”

“No need to sigh, Brother Shi. Maybe it won’t be long before three of us could move back to Heart-cleansing Peak!”

The unbridled voices of the conversation were extremely harsh compared to the silence here.

Hearing these conversations, Lin Dahong looked at Lin Xun for the first time to observe Lin Xun’s reaction.

But Lin Xun sat motionless and his expression was as indifferent as before. There was even a faint smile on his lips.

Lin Dahong couldn’t help but be surprised. This young man seemed different from his imagination!

Before he came to Heart-cleansing Peak this time, Lin Dahong also heard something about Lin Xun. For example, Lin Xun got angry on the first night when he returned here and beat the descendants of the younger generation of Westbrook Lin.

He also heard that when Lin Yingzhen, the young leader of Westbrook Lin, came to pick on Lin Xun, he was stripped naked by Lin Xun and fooled himself in public.

At first, Lin Dahong thought that Lin Xun was a violent young man, but when he saw Lin Xun in person, he found that his previous speculation was wrong.

Things got interesting!

Lin Dahong’s mind had some fluctuations.

With the noise of the conversation, two men and one woman had swaggered into Heart-cleansing Hall. The men’s clothes were brocaded and the women’s makeup was exquisite.

As soon as they came in, they stopped talking and looked at Lin Xun on the central seat. They showed a little disdain when they found Lin Xun was just a young man with a beautiful face.

Immediately, the woman said directly, “Are you the wild boy who comes out of nowhere?”

She was dressed in a white dress, with her long hair twisted into a bun, showing elegant manner between her moves, but her words were extremely sharp and aggressive.

Just after entering the hall, she humiliated Lin Xun directly. It was clear that she was here to trouble Lin Xun!

This woman was Xiao Fengru, a guest deacon of Westbrook Lin.

Lin Zhong suddenly longed his face.

But before he could speak, another man smiled and said, “Fengru, don’t be angry with a younger generation. We are here to do serious business.”

This man was thin and tall with a pair of shining triangular eyes. His name was Shi Zhan, a guest deacon of Flying-peak Lin.

“Yes, don’t waste time any more. Time is precious. It’s better to solve the business now.”

Another man nodded his head in agreement. He was cold and proud. His voice was gloomy as a poisonous snake which was spitting out its message. His name was Chang Ziheng, a guest deacon of Floating-cloud.

“Well, let’s get down to business.”

Xiao Fengru followed their words.

They never put Lin Xun in their eyes after they entered the hall. Their conversation even couldn’t be interrupt by Lin Xun. Of course, they didn’t ask Lin Xun’s advice for talking.

Others might regard them as the master of Heart-cleansing Peak, Lin Xun was the person waiting for trial.

This made Lin Zhong look gloomy. He was about to say something, but Lin Xun stopped him with a smile and said, “Let them continue.”

While Lin Dahong, who was sitting and watching with cold eyes, suddenly felt an indescribable chill in his heart.

This young man was extremely calm.

Lin Dahong doubted that if he was so ridiculed and despised like this, he would not feel easy. After all, strictly speaking, if Lin Xun was really Lin Wenjing’s son, Lin Xun was indeed the only person to inherit Heart-cleansing Peak.

Of course, Lin Xun only got a name of heir.

However, Xiao Fengru, Chang Ziheng and Shi Zhan were all outsiders of Lin Family!

They were not clansman of Lin Family at all, but the guest deacons who were subordinate to Lin Family’s forces!

They were going too far.

Even other three branches went against Lin Xun, they didn’t need to let some outsiders humiliate him, did they?

Lin Dahong immediately judged that the reason why three branches of Westbrook Lin, Floating-cloud Lin and Flying-peak Lin sent these three representatives was obviously rioting!

When Lin Dahong thought about it, Xiao Fengru sneered as she heard Lin Xun’s whispers, “Little boy, don’t pretend in front of us! If you cooperate obediently, I won’t embarrass you. But don’t blame me if you don’t cooperate! ”

Lin Xun smiled and asked, “How should I cooperate with you?”

Xiao Fengru frowned. Why Lin Xun could still laugh at this moment? This made her feel disgusted and angry.

“It’s very simple. Four of us have discussed that we will move back to Heart-cleansing Peak from tomorrow. At the same time, all the affairs of Heart-cleansing Peak will be in the charge of us.”

Xiao Fengru claimed their real intention directly.

She said with aggressive manner. Since the decision had been made, they didn’t want to talk more, but force Lin Xun to obey!

“Of course, we won’t embarrass you due to your identity. As long as you accept all the arrangements in peace, we will allow you to stay in Heart-cleansing Peak and take care of you. You aren’t worrying about food anymore.”

Xiao Fengru raised her chin with a haughty posture like the queen who was issuing the order. “This condition is very generous, and I don’t ask you to be grateful. I just want you to remember that Heart-cleansing Peak couldn’t be charged by such a hairy child as you!”

Lin Zhong was so angry that he shivered all over. What she said was not only impolite, but also a threat and humiliation!

What did they think of the young master?

What did they think of the lineal blood of Lin Family?

The most abhorrent was that these humiliating words were uttered by an outsider, which was too malicious!

Lin Xun could not help squinting.

When Lin Dahong thought that Lin Xun was ready to fight back, he saw that Lin Xun suddenly smiled and looked at him.

“Do you agree with her words?”

Lin Xun’s question made Lin Dahong’s heart tighten and his face slightly changed.
