Lin Xun had just left when an old man in black suddenly appeared. As he looked at Hua Wuhen paralyzed on the ground like a dead animal, a look of shock and fury crossed his face.

The black-robed old man quickly checked Hua Wuhen’s injuries. He heaved a sigh of relief when he found that Hua Wuhen had only sustained minor injuries.

Immediately, his face darkened and he said through gritted teeth, “Young Master, which bastard did this to you? Someone in the Forbidden City dares to touch people of our Hua Family?”

His gaze was chilling and sinister, and his aura was terrifying. The nearby people shuddered with terror.

“Don’t worry about this now. Take me to find my Second Elder Sister,” uttered Hua Wuhen, panting.

“Young Master, you should go home...”

“I said take me to my Second Elder Sister!” Hua Wuhen interrupted angrily.

“Yes.” The old man in a black robe said helplessly, “Young Master, Second Miss is attending a friend’s party at Precious Laughter House…”

“Then let’s head to Precious Laughter House!” Hua Wushen said firmly.

Instantly, the old man in black left with Hua Wuhen.

It wasn\'t until they left that everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

“I didn’t expect today’s battle to be that fierce. First, Hua Wuhen almost killed Lin Xuefeng, but then a more ruthless character appeared and violently beat up Hua Wuhen!”

“I wonder where that guy is from? Isn’t he afraid of revenge? The Hua Family is one of the seven high clans! Very few people in the entire empire would dare to anger them!”

“Didn’t you hear what that guy said? His name is Lin Xun, and he’s from 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 head 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.

“No, I just feel that you’re much older than you were two years ago. I thought some middle-aged man wanted to attack me.”

Ning Meng gnashed his teeth and suddenly grabbed Lin Xun by his neck. “Kid, your tongue is much more vicious than before!”

Lin Xun laughed. Ning Meng is still the same as before—unrestrained and carefree.

“This is—?” Ning Meng swept a glance over Lin Zhong and Third Old Zhu, but his gaze paused at Lin Xuefeng.

He could tell from their posture and appearance that Lin Zhong and Third Old Zhu were guards of Lin Xun, but Lin Xuefeng was different from them.

“My cousin Lin Xuefeng,” Lin Xun introduced them

“This is Ning Meng, my friend.”

Lin Xuefeng gave a cupped fist salute.

Ning Meng waved his hand and grinned. “Don’t be so polite. Let’s go, the banquet is about to start. Many familiar faces have come. It’s just a pity that Zhangsun Hen didn’t come.”

He hooked his arms around Lin Xun’s shoulder, shaking his head and sighing. They walked into Precious Laughter House together.

Lin Xun remembered that Ning Meng and Zhangsun Hen were sworn enemies, and they didn’t get along in Blood Kill Camp.

Lin Xuefeng’s expression changed as he studied Ning Meng. It was as though he had thought of something.

Ning Meng?

Could he be the eldest grandson of Steelblood King Ning Bugui?

And Zhangsun Hen seems...seems to be the grandson of General Zhangsun Xiongyuan who has the title Pillar of the Empire!
