Tian Jiao Zhan Ji - Chapter 362
“Tuan muda!”
Lin Xun baru saja pergi ketika seorang lelaki tua berbaju hitam tiba-tiba muncul. Saat dia melihat Hua Wuhen yang lumpuh di tanah seperti binatang mati, ekspresi kaget dan marah melintas di wajahnya.
Pria tua berjubah hitam itu dengan cepat memeriksa luka Hua Wuhen. Dia menghela nafas lega ketika menemukan bahwa Hua Wuhen hanya menderita luka ringan.
Segera, wajahnya menjadi gelap dan dia berkata dengan gigi terkatup, “Tuan Muda, bajingan mana yang melakukan ini padamu? Seseorang di Kota Terlarang berani menyentuh orang-orang dari Keluarga Hua kita?”
Tatapannya dingin dan menyeramkan, dan auranya menakutkan. Orang-orang di dekatnya bergidik ketakutan.
“Jangan khawatir tentang ini sekarang. Bawa saya untuk menemukan Kakak Kedua saya, ”ucap Hua Wuhen, terengah-engah.
“Tuan Muda, Anda harus pulang …”
“Aku bilang bawa aku ke Kakak Keduaku!” Hua Wuhen menyela dengan marah.
“Ya.” Pria tua berjubah hitam berkata tanpa daya, “Tuan Muda, Nona Kedua menghadiri pesta teman di Rumah Tawa Berharga …”
“Kalau begitu mari kita pergi ke Rumah Tawa Berharga!” Hua Wushen berkata dengan tegas.
Seketika, lelaki tua berbaju hitam itu pergi bersama Hua Wuhen.
Baru setelah mereka pergi, semua orang menghela nafas lega.
“Aku tidak menyangka pertarungan hari ini akan sekeras itu. Pertama, Hua Wuhen hampir membunuh Lin Xuefeng, tetapi kemudian karakter yang lebih kejam muncul dan menghajar Hua Wuhen dengan kasar!”
“Aku ingin tahu dari mana orang itu berasal? Apakah dia tidak takut balas dendam? Keluarga Hua adalah salah satu dari tujuh klan tinggi! Sangat sedikit orang di seluruh kekaisaran yang berani membuat mereka marah!
“Apakah kamu tidak mendengar apa yang dikatakan orang itu? Namanya Lin Xun, dan dia berasal dari Mind Cleansing Peak.”
The crowd gasped and there was a long clamor of discussion.
At that moment, someone exclaimed, “I know him! Lin Xun is known as the loneliest clan leader of the aristocratic clans in the Forbidden City!”
“Yes! Mind Cleansing Peak, isn’t that the territory of the Lin Family?”
“No wonder Lin Xun stood up for Lin Xuefeng. It turns out that they are from the same family, but…the Lin Family has deteriorated over the years and is now only regarded as a low-class clan. Where did Lin Xun get the courage to violently beat up Hua Wuhen?”
“Who knows? I’m just curious as to why Lin Xun didn’t take the national exams this year. Given the strength he has shown today, I’m certain he will pass.”
“Yes, it’s obvious that Lin Xun possesses an abnormal foundation and talent since he could defeat Hua Wuhen, a youngster blessed by heaven. This is very strange.”
“Hey, no matter what, today’s incident will stir up a lot of waves in the Forbidden City. Think about it, Hua Wuhen has been beaten violently! How would the Hua Clan take that?”
The incident stirred up heated discussions.

Many people realized that the incident would quickly spread throughout the entire Forbidden City!
After all, Hua Wuhen had a very special identity!
Lin Xun, who was known as the loneliest aristocratic clan leader of the Forbidden City, was also an interesting character.
Many people were curious about what sort of storm would result from the incident.
……
Night fell.
A jeweled carriage slowly clattered along the bustling and vibrant streets in the direction of Precious Laughter House.
It was completely silent on the jeweled carriage.
After a while, Lin Xuefeng said hesitantly, “Just now…you were too reckless. I’m not blaming you, but I just wanted to tell you that Hua Wuhen has a very high status, and he will bring you endless troubles.”
Lin Xun was taken aback at first, but then he smiled and said indifferently, “You are a descendant of the Lin Family. I can’t watch you being bullied by other people.”
His few words made Lin Xuefeng quiver. He stared at Lin Xun for a long moment and said with a complicated expression, “I’m finally certain that you are more suitable than me to take over Mind Cleansing Peak.”
He looked a little disappointed.
He had been brought up to become the successor of the Lin Family and had received the attention and hope of the entire clan. Everyone hoped to see him lead the Lin Family and restore its former glory.
But reality was too cruel.
It was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Lin Xuefeng to almost lose his life to Hua Wuhen and suffer such humiliation.
“Don’t be discouraged, I watched the fight. It’s not because you’re not strong enough. You lost to him because of his powerful treasure,” Lin Xun softly explained.
“You don’t need to comfort me. Treasures are also part of a cultivator’s overall strength. I lost fair and square. I won’t try to deceive myself.” Lin Xuefeng took a deep breath and continued, “But thank you, I owe you my life, and I will repay you in the future.”
Lin Xun smiled.
He didn’t think much when he saved Lin Xuefeng. As the leader of the Lin Clan, he absolutely couldn’t stand and watch and do nothing.
It didn’t matter what sort of noble identity Hua Wuhen had. Lin Xun wouldn’t hesitate to protect the honor of his clan.
Only now did Lin Xun realize that he had angered the entire Hua Clan in exchange for Lin Xuefeng’s admiration!
But it was worth it!
Lin Xuefeng was the leader of the younger generation of the North Light Lin Clan. If Lin Xuefeng submitted to Lin Xun, it would undoubtedly help him take over the North Light Lin Clan in the future!

Misfortune and good fortune were always intertwined.
“Where are you going?” Lin Xuefeng suddenly asked.
“Precious Laughter House,” Lin Xun said casually. “I’m attending a friend’s banquet. Let’s go together.”
“Okay.” Lin Xuefeng readily agreed. But then he was surprised to find that he couldn’t decline Lin Xun’s invitation! He stopped thinking about it as he was more curious about which friend’s party that Lin Xun was going to attend.
Precious Laughter House was a top money-squandering establishment in the Forbidden City. Everything there was extremely expensive, and even children of aristocratic families such as Lin Xuefeng couldn’t afford to visit there regularly. Only the incredibly wealthy could frequent there.
It couldn’t be helped. The prices there were sky high!
Lin Xuefeng was very curious about who Lin Xun’s friend was.
……
Soon, the jeweled carriage came to a halt.
As Lin Xun got off the carriage, he narrowed his eyes.
Not far away was a vast, dreamy lake. The moon hung high over the lake, trickling its silvery stream of light across the rolling mist above the lake.
A pavilion stood in the center of the lake. Standing at hundreds of feet tall, it was like a gorgeous palace floating in the lake.
The pavilion looked resplendent under the moon. It was unknown what material it was constructed from, but under the moonlight, it radiated a soft, divine glow. It was like an immortal paradise and not like anything in the mortal world!
It took Lin Xun a long while to snap out of his astonishment before he marveled, “Such a place should be very expensive, right?”
The corner of Lin Xuefeng’s lips twitched. It’s not just expensive, but even descendants of ordinary aristocratic families can’t afford it, let alone ordinary cultivators! There’s a joke that a cultivator’s goal in the Forbidden City is not to seek the Dao but to enjoy themselves once in Precious Laughter House.
“Let’s go.” Lin Xun composed himself and continued forward.
A wide and spacious white jade bridge led straight into Precious Laughter House in the center of the lake.
Just as Lin Xun stepped onto the bridge, a mighty figure charged toward him and aimed a punch at his face.
Boom!
The blast of wind from the fist was fierce and a fiendish qi shot into the sky.
Narrowing his eyes, Lin Xun casually thrust his palm forward.
Following an explosive boom, a strong blast of wind swept over everything.
To Lin Xun’s surprise, his palm strike had only caused the mighty figure to sway a little. Although his palm strike seemed ordinary, he had instilled seventy percent of his strength into it. Who would have thought it inflicted no damage to the mighty figure?

Just when Lin Xun was about to launch another attack, the mighty figure cried out, “Stop, stop bastard. We haven’t seen each other in two years but you have become so powerful!” The voice was hoarse.
The mighty figure lifted his Kepala and grinned, revealing a heroic and fierce face. Who else would it be besides Ning Meng?
“Ning Meng?” Ling Xun exclaimed.
Seeing Lin Xun’s reaction, Lin Xuefeng breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his body. It seems like Lin Xun knows him.
On the other hand, Lin Zhong assumed a strange expression and whispered to Third Old Zhu, “Why didn’t you block the attack for Young Master just now?”
Third Old Zhu’s expression remained as indifferent and still as a rock as he explained in a muffled voice, “When that guy attacked, he emitted no killing intent so it’s obviously not a real attack.”
Lin Zhong nodded. “I thought so too.”
“What? Are you surprised? I have changed so much in the past two years. Anyone who sees me will be shocked,” Ning Meng said proudly.
“Tidak, aku hanya merasa kamu jauh lebih tua dari dua tahun lalu. Saya pikir beberapa pria paruh baya ingin menyerang saya.”
Ning Meng menggertakkan giginya dan tiba-tiba mencengkeram leher Lin Xun. “Nak, lidahmu jauh lebih ganas dari sebelumnya!”
Lin Xun tertawa. Ning Meng masih sama seperti sebelumnya — tidak terkendali dan tanpa beban.
“Ini adalah-?” Ning Meng melirik Lin Zhong dan Zhu Tua Ketiga, tetapi tatapannya berhenti di Lin Xuefeng.
Dia tahu dari postur dan penampilan mereka bahwa Lin Zhong dan Zhu Tua Ketiga adalah penjaga Lin Xun, tetapi Lin Xuefeng berbeda dari mereka.
“Sepupuku Lin Xuefeng,” Lin Xun memperkenalkan mereka
“Ini Ning Meng, temanku.”
Lin Xuefeng memberi salam kepalan tangan.
Ning Meng melambaikan tangannya dan menyeringai. “Jangan terlalu sopan. Ayo pergi, perjamuan akan segera dimulai. Banyak wajah yang dikenal telah datang. Sayang sekali Zhangsun Hen tidak datang.”
Dia mengaitkan lengannya di bahu Lin Xun, menggelengkan kepalanya dan mendesah. Mereka masuk ke Precious Laughter House bersama-sama.
Lin Xun ingat bahwa Ning Meng dan Zhangsun Hen adalah musuh bebuyutan, dan mereka tidak akur di Kamp Pembunuh Darah.
Ekspresi Lin Xuefeng berubah saat dia mempelajari Ning Meng. Seolah-olah dia telah memikirkan sesuatu.
Ning Meng?
Mungkinkah dia cucu tertua Raja Steelblood Ning Bugui?
Dan sepertinya Zhangsun Hen… sepertinya adalah cucu dari Jenderal Zhangsun Xiongyuan yang bergelar Pillar of the Empire!
