Chapter 226: Young Girl in Green
Translator: Flying Lines
The woman in the bronze chariot was in a black dress. Her waterfall-like hair was worn in a bun, revealing her snow-white neck. Her delicate and charming face looked like a blooming rose.
This beauty was Black Rose Mu Wangsu, manager of Keystone Business in the Donglin Town.
But her position was different now. She was promoted and entrusted with an important task. So she beca the manager of Keystone Business in Mist City half a year ago.
Donglin Town was a remote frontier town, but Mist City was the capital of the Southwestern Province. Undoubtedly, Mu Wangsu had strong managent abilities since she could get the promotion.
She was shaking with laughter as if hearing the funniest joke in the world. She said, “Hahaha... Fang Yu flatters too much. If he knows Master Xun is only a teenager, you guess what expression he will present.”
“Miss Wansu, are you really sure that Master Xun is the little boy who made a lot of trouble in Donglin Town last year?”
Outside the chariot, Wang Lin asked in surprise. He was a treasure appraiser of Keystone Business in Donglin Town. He ca to Mist City with Mu Wangsu this ti.
“It must be Lin Xun. Wang Lin, you’ve seen the Flaming Spirit Saber sold by this kid just after he entered the Donglin Town.”
Mu Wangsu finally stopped laughing and said, “Although the Snowfall Saber is different from the Flaming Spirit Saber, they have a common symbol of the Mark ‘Xun’!”
Wang Lin thought for a mont and rembered the introduction from high-ranking spiritual tattooist Fang Yu. The sa mark ‘Xun’ was showed on the screen. He then imdiately confird Master Xun’s identity.
He couldn’t help feeling amazed, “It’s only a year since I saw Lin Xun last ti, but he has beco the famous Master Xun in Mist City now! Who can imagine that Lin Xun survived several tis in the slums of Donglin Town before?”
Mu Wangsu recalled the past too. She t Lin Xun in Feiyun Village of Three Thousand Mountains for the first ti. At that ti, Lin Xun was only a rural teenager on the second level of Martial Realm, who was weak and not noticeable at all.
Mu Wangsu was extrely puzzled that didn’t understand why the big Childe Shi Shuan valued Lin Xun this poor boy. Now she finally got it.
She still clearly rembered that Shi Shuan once said, “There is a kind of person who, if given the chance, would burst out a dazzling brilliance... Ti will tell us whether he’s a talent or not.”
According to Lin Xun’s achievents in Mist City, Mu Wangsu had to admire Shi Shuan’s accurate judgnt.
Although Lin Xun might be not a powerful man at this mont, he had made a great difference from the rural boy!
Mu Wangsu’s ruddy and plump lips rose. She muttered, “When this little villain left, he didn’t even say goodbye to . Even if his identity changed nowadays, I will not give him a smile when I et him again!”
Wang Lin laughed bitterly. When Lin Xun was in Donglin Town, Mu Wangsu didn’t like Lin Xun. Wang Lin had to co out personally to ease the tension between them.
Unexpectedly, Mu Wangsu still took those trivial disagreents to heart, which really made Wang Lin feel helpless.
“Anyhow... Wang Lin, we should keep the secret of Master Xun. It must be Lin Xun that does not want to let Mist City’s people know his real identity. We help him for the big Childe’s sake,” Mu Wangsu enjoined Wang to secrecy .
Wang Lin imdiately understood that Mu Wangsu had no prejudice against Lin Xun anymore, though she seed still angry with him in words.
The bronze chariot soon started to move and was driven away.
Mu Wangsu stopped letting her mind wander and said, “Two months later, it will be the centennial of Keystone Business in Mist City. This is the first big event after I got promoted. The big Childe Shi Shuan personally helped invite artistic practitioner Liu Qingyan to attend the celebration. When I arrived at Keystone Business, I’d like to et this famous artistic practitioner in the first ti.”
Wang Lin’s eyes suddenly brightened and he asked quickly, “Miss Wansu, has Liu Qingyan co ahead?”
Mu Wangsu nodded and replied as if thinking of sothing, “Liu Qingyan, an artistic practitioner, has such a high reputation in the empire. This woman shouldn’t be taken lightly. The big Childe even told to treat her as the most important guest of honor. I am curious whether her charm is really as great as the rumor that she can make people completely infatuated with her...”
...
On the busy street, a young man in green and his servant Ying’er walked side by side.
“Don’t be so rude next ti, Ying’er.”
The man in green gave a warning.
Ying’er stuck out her tongue and grinned, “I’ll obey your orders, but that fellow was so annoying just now. I don’t think he knows Ancient-rhythm Ocarina. It’s ridiculous for him to give you advice.”
The man in green frowned and thought, “Ying’er, do you think I should go to ask Master Xun’s help?”
Ying’er muttered, “Childe, that guy was obviously bragging. Why do you believe him? What’s more, even the spiritual tattoo masters of Academy of Spiritual Implents couldn’t repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina. Will Master Xun be more powerful than those masters?”
“But I...” said the young man hesitantly.
When Ying’er saw this, she could not help sighing, “Okay, let’s have a try if there’s an opportunity.”
The man in green smiled happily imdiately, “Ying’er, as long as there is still a glimr of hope, I will not give up.”
Ying’er muttered, “I hope it won’t disappoint you again this ti, but I feel sure it will.”
The childe in green stared at Ying’er angrily, “Now we should go back quickly, otherwise Granny Wind will punish us if she knows we co out without her permission.”
Suddenly an old voice slowly arose, “Miss, I dare not punish you.”
The childe in green and the Ying’er were all stiff and looked at each other at this mont.
An old woman with silver hair ca slowly, holding a cane.
Seemingly slow, but just in the blink of an eye, she stood in front of them. She looked at the childe in green with a hint of helplessness and sighed, “Miss, it’s too dangerous for you to co out alone. If you et any trouble...”
Before she finished the words, the young childe hooked the old woman’s arm and said, “I promise not to do it next ti. Don’t be angry, nanny.”
He was a handso young man with elegant deanor before. But in the next mont, he beca a girl with pleasant voice. Her eyebrows were full of delicate spirit, which attracted the attention of passers-by.
Obviously, the boy in green was actually a girl who disguised herself!
“Your little servant girl, I’ll punish you first if you do it again!”
The old lady apparently spoiled the girl in green very much and wouldn’t criticize her, just glaring at the servant girl.
Ying’er lowered her head, “Granny Wind, I’m wrong this ti.”
“Go back quickly. If you don’t appear in ti, those boys will cause a disturbance. Especially the Young Sword King of Clan Shie. I can’t stop him if he makes trouble in Mist City.”
The old lady turned and headed for the distance.
The girl in green wrinkled her brow. She felt headache when thinking about the group of boys who had gathered in her residence.
All of them were noble childes in the upper class of the empire. They were of high status and had an unbridled temperant. Even in the Forbidden City, few people dared to provoke them.
Hearing her co to Mist City this ti, these boys followed her here one by one. If they acted freely in Mist City just for finding her, it might cause a big ss.
“Nanny, I don’t want to go back.”
The girl in green, with a pitiful expression, looked at the old lady. Her eyes were clear as a pair of black gemstones, pure and innocent.
“No way.”
The old lay flatly refused.
The girl bit her lip and suddenly said, “Nanny, promise one thing if you want back.”
The old woman said, “As long as I can make it, I’ll promise you. But if it’s beyond my ability, you shouldn’t trouble .”
The girl giggled like a flower blooming quietly after the rain, clean and beautiful.
She said, “It’s a very simple thing. It certainly won’t trouble you.”
The old woman seed relieved, “What on earth is it, Miss?”
Ying’er, with her eyes rolling on the side, interrupted, “Granny Wind, Miss Yan heard that Master Xun in Mist City can repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina, so she would like to ask you to find the Master Xun.”
The old woman suddenly sneered, “You believe the lies that there’s a master can repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina in Mist City?”
Ying’er quickly said, “I also feel that it is an impossible task for Master Xun. But Miss Yan has always been concerned about this matter, so she was just deceived by a villain’s words.”
The old woman narrowed her eyes with frightening cold montum, “Who cheated Yan?”
“Shut up, Ying’er!”
Girl Yan glared at Ying’er and explained, “I need Master Xun’s help. It has nothing to do with the young man. Please, I just want a try. I have no other requirent.”
The old woman seed to be persuaded and thought for a mont, “Okay, but you have to go back with first. As for Master Xun, I will find him for you when I have ti.”
Eyes of the girl in green brightened, “I know you love most, nanny. If it’s you that go to find him, Master Xun will surely be found.”
The old woman fondled the girl’s head and said, “As long as you are happy, I will do it.”
Lin Xun didn’t know about all this. He had already co to the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists. When he reached the second floor, Chu Feng, who was overjoyed, enthusiastically invited him into a quiet room. The first sentence he uttered, “You are really amazing. I really admire you this ti. More than ten powerful forces were defeated in a night. They’ve suffered such great losses but dare not spread the news. Aha!”
