Chapter 189: White Jade Scroll

Translator: Flying-Lines

Lin Xun finally stopped beating Shin Wenbin, because he thought if he went on, Shin Wenbin would die.

This was a bad time to fall out with Shin Rutie.

After turning around, he saw Shin Rutie’s livid and exasperated cheeks.

As the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard of the Forbidden City, Shin Rutie was a far-famed and iron-handed big shot with great prestige. Therefore, it never occurred to Shin Rutie that he would face such a bold teenager who was a donkey in a lion’s hide outside the Bloodthirsty Desert.

Lin Xun beat his son almost to death in front of him, which would definitely become a laughingstock if it spread all over the Forbidden City.

Although Shin Rutie hated Lin, he didn’t show anything on his face.

As far as he was concerned, he could do nothing with the teenager no matter how deep his hatred was because the powerful man in the worn-out ship was still there!

“We have to go.”

Suddenly, the old man said with a gentle and benevolent voice.

Lin Xun signed in his heart. He knew that he beat Shin Wenbin in front of his father was already the limit of that old man’s tolerance. If he wanted to deal with Shin Rutie, the old man wouldn’t connive at that.

Otherwise, Lin Xun really wanted to eradicate Shin Rutie and Shin Wenbin once for all. It was a pity that he couldn’t make it now.

This was the limitation of a donkey masquerading as a lion. Lin could borrow the old man’s power to bully his enemies but with limitations- it wasn’t his call to decide whether they’d live or die.

“You took Old Mo away last time. But I’ll make you send him back yourself,” taking a deep breath, Lin Xun calmly glanced at Shin Rutie and then walked away.

“Your little bastard, you admit that you’re a donkey in a lion’s hide. I really want to know how long you’ll survive when the lion leaves!” murmured Shin Rutie in his heart with invisible hatred while watching Lin Xun leave.

…

“Son, you’re too naive. Borrowing power to do evil isn’t what you did just now.”

As Lin set foot on the worn-out treasure ship, Shue Jin sighed with a look of contempt.

Lin Xun got stunned immediately, “What should it look like then?”

A trace of complacence emerged on Shue Jin’s rough and drunken face, “Look carefully!”

On saying that, he drove the worn-out treasure ship. With a bestial roar, it rose into the sky suddenly!

Bang!

Subsequently, the ship turned the direction and rushed towards the Weiyang Battleship in the distance like an arrow having been fired out.

Lin Xun was taken aback. Was he trying to hit the battleship?

Shue Jin’s drunkenly red face was full of craziness, and he kept laughing loudly.

Bang! This worn-out treasure ship was like a pointed cone to crack the hard surface of the battleship open and pierced through it, leaving a horrifying hole on the ship body, a terrible mess on the ground, as well as a fitful scream for fear.

In the cabin, Lin Xun staggered and almost fell onto the ground. However, all this couldn’t remove the shock deep in his heart.

Shue Jin was too intrepid and unscrupulous!

Weiyang Battleship, the middle-rank battleship of the empire, possessed a strong defense, and even the strong practitioners in the Sea Spirit Realm couldn’t play havoc with it. But now Shue Jin drove a worn-out treasure ship, and pierced through the battleship!

“Hahaha, see, little guy? This is a model of a donkey in a lion’s hide. You can’t vent your hatred with your tricks at all.”

Shue Jin burst into laughter, and then he took gulps of his alcohol with complacency.

Lin Lun gave him a bitter smile, and had to admit that he was inferior to Shue Jin.

Weiyang Battleship was badly damaged, so the spiritual tattoo formation on it was definitely destroyed. If Shin Rutie wanted to repair it, it would cost him considerable financial and material resources.

More importantly, the battleship belonged to the imperial army. And now Shue Jin damaged it so badly, which meant that he didn’t merely offend Shin Rutie and his son.

Lin Xun always regarded himself intrepid, but compared with Shue Jin, he was nobody.

Of course, Lin Xun knew it clearly that Shue Jin dared to do so, not because he looked to the old man for backing, but because he wasn’t worried that they’d take the revenge.

That was the key point.

What surprised Lin Xun was that the worn-out treasure ship Shue Jin drove hadn’t got broken a little bit after hitting Weiyang Battleship. So it wasn’t as simple as it seemed to be.

…

Shin Rutie froze there and couldn’t believe what had just happened.

How dare they drive such a shabby treasure ship to hit Weiyang Battleship of the empire so recklessly?

Seeing his son who passed out and the broken Weiyang Battleship, and hearing the screams from the battleship, Shin Rutie felt helpless for the first time in his entire life. Who was the owner of the worn-out treasure ship? How dare he do this?

Whoosh~

A sandstorm swept over and suddenly turned into Shu Sanqi who was as thin as a spear.

Shu Sanqi could roughly picture what happened on seeing the horrifying scene. The anxious feeling was replaced by some joyful feeling.

“Who took Lin Xun away?” asked Shin Rutie with a trace of frustration in his muffled voice.

“Do you remember the one I told you last time when you took Old Mo away?” Shu Sanqi asked in reply.

Shin Rutie was in a daze and then thought of something. He asked with his face changing quickly, “Is it the wagoner who serves the Queen of Dark Night from Heiyao Shrine?”

His heart couldn’t help beating fiercely. He felt a little lucky upon thinking of the amicable voice and the formidable power therein the shabby ship.

He clearly knew if the old man really wanted to deal with him, he would possibly have already become a dead body.

There were many wagoners in the world, but there was only one who could serve the Queen of Dark Night!

“It’s him…but how can it be him… Does Lin Xun have any relationship with Heiyao Shrine?” murmured Shin Rutie. Various thoughts crossed his mind, and he couldn’t stay calm any longer.

“You’d better give up revenging on Lin Xun. Otherwise, even if Heiyao Shrine doesn’t interfere in, I won’t let it go,” said Shu Sanqi coldly before he turned around and left.

Shin Rutie’s face darkened, “So you come here to stop me, don’t you?”

“Exactly,” Shu Sanqi’s voice arose in the distance.

“He is no longer the trainee of your Bloodthirsty Camp anymore!”

Shin Rutie shouted gravely.

“As long as he possesses the Bloodthirsty Badge, he’s the trainee of the camp for good!”

Shu Sanqi had already disappeared completely before finishing speaking those words.

“Damn it!” Shin Rutie gnashed his teeth, and the expression on his face looked complicated.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, and then looked resolute again. He carried the unconscious Shin Wenbin and walked towards the Weiyang Battleship.

Anyone who was familiar with Shin Rutie knew that he wouldn’t let it go!

…

In the cabin-

“Borrowing power to do evil just for a temporary relief will incur endless troubles. Why did you do this?”

The grandfatherly old man looked at Lin Xun with a wisp of elusiveness in his eyes as unfathomable as the sea.

“I didn’t think too much. I just wanted to vent my anger.”

Having pondered for a while, Lin Xun continued, “If you hadn’t been here, I’d absolutely have been taken away. And I’d definitely suffer a great deal of unpredictable humiliation and torture. In that case, I have to vent my anger on them in advance.”

The old man seemed a little surprised. He asked after thinking for a while, “You seem never afraid of the troubles incurred by what you did.”

Lin Xun shook his head, “I’m not a man of unscrupulousness. I just do things I think I should do.”

The old man nodded his head without saying more.

He took out a delicate white jade scroll and gave it to Lin Xun, “Shia Zhi asked me to give you this.”

With a shock in his heart, Lin Xun took a deep breath and unfolded it.

It was a pity that there was only one simple paragraph on it-“I’m fine, but I feel lonely sometimes. Remember the words I told you: you must stay alive before I come back.”

Dull and simple, these few words were like a daily conversation, without strong emotion in them, but they made Lin Xun stunned on site.

In a trance, he seemingly saw that a little girl attired in a black dust-coat raised her dainty and peaceful face and carefully stared at him.

After a long time, Lin Xun silently put the white jade scroll away. He was so careful as if he was hiding a treasure.

“Aren’t you suspicious whether it’s fake?” asked the old man.

Lin Xun took a deep breath and tried his best to abandon those distracting thoughts on his mind. He said with a smile, “I know it’s true.”

“Thus, you should know you still can’t see her at least for now,” said the old man gently.

“H’m,” Lin Xun replied while nodding his head with difficulties.

“Do you have something to say?” The old man felt a little sympathetic for Lin.

Lin Xun said with a smile, “Now, all I want to know is where you want to take me to, senior.”

The moment he set foot on the worn-out treasure ship, Lin Xun knew that he wouldn’t have the freedom to choose his own way.

He was sick of this feeling, but had no choice but to accept it.

That was because Shia Zhi was in the control of them. Even if it was not kidnapping, and they didn’t use her to threaten him, he still found it hard to feel relieved.

To his surprise, the old man gave him an unexpected answer, “Mist City, the capital city of Southwestern Province”.

The reason Lin Xun felt surprised was that he had originally planned to go there!

In the Bloodthirsty Camp, Drillmaster Ke once gave him a certificate proving that he passed the State Test. Thus, when he left the camp, the first thought crossing his mind was to attend the Province Test of Southwestern Province.

If he passed the Province Test, he would have the qualification for the Nation Test held in the Forbidden City. If everything went well, he would be admitted by the Green-deer School.

Lin Xun believed that as long as he could enter the Green-deer School, he would have a bigger chance to find out something valuable.

For instance, what the Devouring Abyss, a talent property he was born with, was? Did anything related to the Devouring Abyss happen in the empire in the past 14 years? As long as he could find a clue, he could uncover the truth like who dug out his spiritual vein and why by following the clue!

At the same time, he could also collect the intelligence about Heiyao, nose about for Old Mo’s whereabouts…

This was what the Green-deer School was special for. It was the top-class institute of its kind in the empire, and the most outstanding geniuses in the world converged on this place. In addition, with unimaginable resources and power, it gathered up many people with various abilities and the best of the best.

As long as Lin could get enrolled at the Green-deer School, it would be easier for him to get whatever he wanted!
