326: Chapter 312: Xin Jinlian 326: Chapter 312: Xin Jinlian At that mont, outside, Xin Shuxiang felt a burning rage in his chest that was intense enough to transform into thunder that could shake the heavens!
There was a loud boom.
Xin Shuxiang raised his hand and directly blasted the rockery beside him into crumbs.
Of course, saying it was blasted into crumbs might be a bit of an exaggeration.
But turning it into a pile of fragnts, with the largest piece no bigger than the pad of a thumb, was indeed true.
anwhile, in the room, upon hearing the sudden loud noise outside, Zhang San’s first reaction was that there was danger; he imdiately took up his longbow and protected Xin Jinxing behind him.
Xin Jinxing’s action was even quicker, he promptly took out his twin hamrs from his storage ring and shielded Zhang San behind himself.
However, Xin Jinxing’s strength was a bit too great, so when he lifted the hamrs to block for Zhang San, he nearly knocked Zhang San down with a hamr blow.
“You stay back, I’ll take the front,”
While Zhang San was cautiously speaking to Xin Jinxing, he picked up the arrows from the table and perford the Ninefold Scrutiny.
As expected at that mont, in the courtyard, there was a figure, towering and formidable, with an aura roiling like a bloodthirsty tiger, the Qi around his body boiling violently.
“I’ll lure the enemy with my arrows, then you take the chance to close in for combat,”
After giving his instructions, Zhang San nocked an arrow to his bow, aiming outside.
As he neared the door, he used a Wood Series Technique to extend the branches and vines from the plant in the flower pot next to him, pushing the door open.
“The bow is suitable for long-range shots, press down harder and you can retract the Sun and Moon Wheels,”
Xin Jinxing reminded Zhang San softly by his side.
Zhang San imdiately transford the longbow back to its normal treasured bow length.
And just then, as the door was pushed open and he could finally hear clearly what was being said inside, Xin Shuxiang couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.
“So, you two little rascals were hiding in the room, studying my treasured bow!
Hahaha…”
Xin Shuxiang took a sneak peek and, seeing that his daughter was still wearing her armor—not only trousers but also a fish tail ornant and a double campaign skirt—felt relieved.
Upon seeing that it was Principal Officer Xin, Zhang San promptly put away his treasured bow and bowed in greeting to Principal Officer Xin.
“Zhang San greets Principal Officer Xin.”
“Grandfather,”
Xin Jinlian glanced at Xin Shuxiang, not understanding why her grandfather would act so crazily in her own yard.
At this point, Xin Shuxiang, seeing his treasured bow in Zhang San’s hands, instantly realized what Zhang San and his granddaughter had been discussing in the room.
“Hahaha…
Zhang San!
I heard you were visiting the mansion, so I specially ca to see you.
Hahaha…”
Hearing Principal Officer Xin’s awkward laughter, Zhang San could only reluctantly force a smile.
anwhile, Xin Jinlian, with a cold voice, said, “Grandfather, if you ca to see soone, then see them, but who smashes the rockery in their courtyard?”
Xin Shuxiang waved his hand dismissively and said with an air of nonchalance, “You know how strong I am.
Hearing that Zhang San was here, I got excited.
I got a bit carried away while walking and accidentally bumped into the rockery.
It seems the rockery was too old, and it just crumbled to pieces at a touch.”
Zhang San looked at the rubble on the ground, the largest piece of stone seeming no bigger than a cherry.
With such a casual bump, I’m afraid even soone in the Spiritual Platform Realm could be bumped to death by you.
It was just borrowing a bow from you, was there really a need to be so petty?
At that mont, Xin Shuxiang said with a smile, “Since Zhang San is here, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?
Good, I haven’t eaten either.
Let’s eat together.”
Upon hearing about eating at Xin Mansion, both Zhang San’s mind and stomach were filled with an emotion called fear.
“Thank you, Principal Officer Xin, but we’ve just had our al.”
Zhang San imdiately refused.
Scary!
Too scary!
At this point, Xin Shuxiang smiled and waved her hand, saying, “I’m also half your teacher, so why wouldn’t you be happy when your teacher invites you to a al?”
“Moreover, you youngsters don’t eat properly every day.
Who knows what you might have eaten before?
Co on, let’s go have a al at my place.”
Left with no choice, Zhang San glanced at Xin Jinxiang, and the two could only follow Principal Officer Xin to have yet another al.
Soon, Xin Mansion prepared a large array of delicious dishes again.
Although they were all delicacies, at this mont, Zhang San really couldn’t eat any more.
The food he had previously eaten had probably just been digested enough, and now his stomach was to work overti?
At that mont, Xin Shuxiang turned to the servant by the door and asked, “Is Jinlian feeling better?
Is it convenient for her to co out and eat?
Today’s guest, Zhang San, is my half-student and the current celebrity at the Town Martial Office—a distinguished guest of my Xin Family.”
The servant imdiately went to inquire.
It was then that Zhang San also noticed that there were four desks set up in Principal Officer Xin’s house.
“Jinlian?”
Zhang San looked at Xin Jinxiang beside him and asked in a low voice with curiosity.
After all, putting the two words ‘Xin’ and ‘Jinlian’ together did suggest a peculiar storyline extension.
Xin Jinxiang whispered, “Jinlian is my twin sister.
She’s been frail and ill since childhood, so she rarely sees outsiders.
Today, presumably because you’re here and my grandfather is happy, he asked Jinlian to also co out and have a al.
This ans he doesn’t consider you an outsider.”
Zhang San looked at the table full of delicacies and actually felt that being the only one with the surna Zhang among a room full of Xins and being treated like an outsider would be quite nice.
Soon, a woman who looked extrely similar to Xin Jinxiang entered, draped in a thick cloak.
“Grandfather, sister.”
Xin Shuxiang imdiately began introducing, “Zhang San, this is my youngest daughter, Xin Jinlian.”
“Jinlian, this is Zhang San from the Town Martial Office, my half-student, one of our own, one of our own.”
Zhang San saw the dishes on the desk nearly filled to the brim yet servants continued to bring more and were even starting to stack a second layer on the already filled dishes.
Helpless, Zhang San could only start eating.
While eating, Zhang San looked up and noticed that Principal Officer Xin opposite him was gobbling down her food.
On the other hand, Xin Jinlian, sitting next to Principal Officer Xin, ate in small bites with slow chews, possessing the elegance of a lady from a prestigious family.
Zhang San noticed that although the two sisters looked exactly alike, Elder Sister Xin Jinxiang had long white hair and exuded a daunting martial aura, appearing a bit more robust.
And Xin Jinlian, with her long black hair, appeared delicate and frail, giving off the impression that she could be blown over by the wind at any mont.
“Principal Officer Xin, I have a Body Refinent Secret Technique here.
While Body Refinent consus resources extensively, it truly fortifies and strengthens the body.
I don’t understand dicine, so I’m not sure if it will help Sister Jinlian, but since it’s our first eting, consider it a eting gift,” Zhang San offered.
Xin Shuxiang, not expecting such understanding from the young man, quickly nodded and smiled, “Good!
Good!”
After speaking, Xin Shuxiang bowed her head and continued eating.
Zhang San looked at this unusually silent banquet.
Since he wasn’t hungry to begin with, and nobody was talking, he couldn’t help but turn to Xin Jinxiang beside him and ask, “Does no one in your family speak during als?”
With a smile, Xin Jinlian answered, “Brother San, what you don’t know is that our grandfather is very imposing.
We usually don’t dare to chat with him during als.
Brother San, do you chat with your grandfather when you have dinner at ho?”
Zhang San replied with an open smile, “I don’t have a father.”
At this, the already quiet atmosphere beca even more silent.
