Battling Records of the Chosen One

Chapter 83: Visitor Outside the Door

Late at night, in the darksome alley that twists and turns are like a cobweb, a young man was running with a girl in his arms.

The whistling wind was like a knife, stinging Lin Xun’s wounds, but it was nothing compared with the anxiety in his heart.

Lin Xun found for the first time that, Shia Zhi had occupied an irreplaceable position in his heart for some time.

The moment he saw her hit to fly away, Lin Xun felt the whole world collapsed. All thoughts and all aspirations just disappeared, only leaving uncontrollable anger and madness.

It made Lin Xun shudder, for he knew for the first time that he could still be reasonless.

Shia Zhi in his arms opened her eyes and looked at Lin Xun quietly. She did not speak, but on her little pale face seemed to appear a faintly discernible smile.

Courtyard 49 was not far away, Lin Xun suddenly saw a figure standing in front of his house before feeling a little relief.

At the same time, that figure turned around, and he saw Lin Xun too. It was the boss of Golden Hall, Gu Yanping!

With a glance at Lin Xun, he seemed to understand something. He looked serious and said, “If Childe Lin believes in me, please let me guard here.”

Lin Xun’s voice was hoarse, “Thanks a lot.”

Saying that, he rushed into the house with Shia Zhi in his arms, and he had no time to think about why Gu Yanping was here late at night.

Seeing Lin Xun rush into the house, Gu Yanping turned around and stood silently at the door, just like a Door God.

In spite of mediocre appearance, when he stood there at the moment, he had the awe-inspiring and unshakable authority.

“Father, I have already learned that Black-tiger Gang’s headquarters caught on fire suddenly, and it was said that there was an invasion from strong opponents, but the specific situation cannot be known now.”

Soon, from the distant alley, a teenager hurriedly ran over. It was Gu Liang, the son of Gu Yanping.

“Mmm.”

“Lin Xun has been back. We should be ready. It may not be peaceful tonight.” Gu Yanping said, nodding his head.

A faint murderous intent flew across his face.

“Father, I’ve heard that the boss of Black-tiger Gang is a strong practitioner in Gang Spirit Realm. We…”

Before Gu Liang finished the sentence, he was interrupted by Gu Yanping, “No one can step into this door tonight.” The voice was resolute.

Gu Liang was in a trance for a moment, and then he nodded silently.

“Son, remember, a true merchant practitioner is not a falsehearted person, nor a vile character who shifts his ground according to circumstances!”

After a moment of silence, Gu Yanping said calmly, “Lin Xun helped us before. We should repay him with kindness. And it has nothing to do with whether he will cooperate with us in the future.”

Gu Liang had a shock in his mind, nodding solemnly, “I understand it.”

Gu Yanping nodded and looked far into the deep night. This night…might be long.

……

In the room, Lin Xun carefully put Shia Zhi on the bed. When he was anxious to find some spiritual medicine for Shia Zhi to heal the wound, suddenly he heard Shia Zhi say, “I only need to conduct cultivation for a period of time before recovery, so you needn’t worry anymore.”

Lin Xun sighed with relief, asking, “Don’t you really need take some spiritual medicine?”

Shia Zhi shook her head, “Since we have killed Tiger Lyu, it will definitely cause the Black-tiger Gang to be in a mess, and this will certainly attract the attention of other gangs. We Shuangmu Gang will also be hard to avoid the effect, so you should be more careful.”

Lin Xun immediately got the meaning of the words.

Once Tiger Lyu died, the Black-tiger Gang was leaderless, and turmoil was unavoidable, which was a great opportunity to merge it, and other gangs in the Civilian Area certainly would not miss such an opportunity.

This was nothing for Lin, but he had to be on his guard to see if the other gangs would take advantage of this opportunity to pick on Shia Zhi and him.

For it was now well known in the Civilian Area that he was the head of Shuangmu Gang, whose influence was expanding, and had seriously threatened the survival of other gangs.

Under such circumstances, if other gangs knew that Shia Zhi and he were both seriously wounded, they would be willing to seize the opportunity to kill him and Shia Zhi and him!

As it is said, when the snipe and the clam grapple, it’s the fisherman who profits.

As long as the other gangs were clear about tonight’s situation, they would not be indifferent!

On the bed, Shia Zhi had begun cultivation, and her cultivation method was quite distinctive. She seated with folded legs, her spine going perfectly straight and her shoulder relaxing, and interlocking ten fingers pinched into a strange gesture, putting in front of her body.

At the same time, an invisible power pervaded her, and she floated in the air.

Since sometime, that white bone spear also appeared, horizontal on Shia Zhi’s both knees. Wisps of cold silvery light, glowing on the surface of the spear, went into the body of Shia Zhi. It could be clearly perceived that the breath of Shia Zhi was quiet and long, as if she had entered a mysterious deep level of cultivation.

In previous days, except for eating, Shia Zhi just slept as if she had never conducted cultivation at all, and this was also the first time that Lin Xun had seen Shia Zhi’s cultivation.

Very mysterious!

This was the strongest feeling of Lin Xun. Quietly staring at her for a long time, Lin Xun found Shia Zhi’s breath became stable, and then felt relieved completely before quietly turning to walk out of the room.

Shia Zhi was very mysterious. Lin Xun had known it for a long time, so he was not so surprised.

The night was dark, and the sky was covered with thick clouds. No star nor the moon was visible, and even the air was depressing.

Walking into the courtyard, Lin Xun began to deal with the wounds on his body quietly.

He took off his shoulder pads, wristers and inner armour, and his body was soon exposed to the air, with bloody scars and bruises running through his shoulders, subcostal, waist and some other parts of his body.

Each of these injuries represented an excruciating pain, and with so many of them, it was imaginable how great the pain was.

But Lin Xun seemed to be imperceptible, and he did not wrinkle his brows even.

He must hurry to recover because tonight was going to be tough!

“Childe Lin, if you don’t mind, let me come to help you.”

Gu Yanping had walked into the courtyard at sometime without being realized. He looked at Lin Xun’s wounds, unavoidably feeling surprised.

“No, thanks. I’ll do it myself.”

Lin Xun smiled and began to wash each wound carefully with clear water.

“If it wasn’t my son who came back to tell me that you might have been in trouble, I would not know that you suffered such serious injuries.” Gu sighed with emotion.

Lin Xun then remembered that Gu Liang had indeed come to visit him at dusk. Apparently because of what he had told to Gu Liang, the attention of Gu Yanping was attracted, and he showed up in front of his house in the dead of night.

“It’s not a big deal. Black-tiger Gang’s people want to kill me, so I just take the initiative to knock on their door.”

After rinsing his wounds, he took out the elixir he had prepared, and began to apply it to the wounds carefully. At this point, he suddenly smiled. “Fortunately, I have killed Tiger Lyu, which makes me feel relaxed a lot.”

Tiger Lyu was dead!

Gu Yanping was surprised immediately and looked at Lin in a different way. He could tell that Lin was not lying.

And this meant that Tiger Lyu, a strong practitioner in Gang Spirit Realm, indeed did not exist in the world any more!

Upon the thought of Lin Xun killing a strong practitioner in Gang Spirit Realm, Gu Yanping could not stay calm. This boy was inconceivable indeed!

But Gu Yanping didn’t ask too much. When he calmed down, something else crossed his mind. “Since Tiger Lyu has been dead, his subordinates are just sheep without a shepherd. The whole situation will change when the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, which will inevitably cause other forces to covet…”, he said.

Lin Xun chipped in, “Boss Gu, I’m afraid the other forces will probably come to make my life difficult tonight.”

He frankly told Gu Yanping what had happened, and even did not conceal the things about Shuangmu Gang.

Hearing the words, Gu Yanping seemed to know the intention of Lin Xun. He seriously nodded his head, saying, “Since the Flaming Spirit Saber you sold to me has helped my Golden Hall a lot, tonight, just let me guard the door for you.”

Lin Xun rose to his feet and saluted solemnly, “Then I have to bother you.” Immediately he continued, “Boss Gu, from now on, please just call me Lin Xun.”

Gu Yanping laughed, “OK, but you can’t call me Boss Gu either, as it seems so aloof!”

Lin Xun also smiled, “Well, I will call you Uncle Gu.”

Gu Yanping laughed again, as if he was rather pleased, and said, “You take it easy, and I’ll go outside the door to see how many ghosts and demons will come here tonight to seek their doom.”

Then he turned away.

Watching his back disappear outside the door, Lin Xun couldn’t help but feel that Uncle Gu must be somebody!

Gu Yanping was really something. Just relying on one Flaming Spirit Saber, he caused a sensation throughout Donglin Town, and thoroughly made a reputation for Golden Hall.

Could an ordinary people do this?

Now, only upon his son Gu Liang’s words, he launched a visit late at night, and helped Lin Xun a lot. This timely help was not the icing on the cake, but charcoal in the snow!

But he had never asked for anything throughout, and hardly resembled a businessman.

In this way, he had let Lin Xun owe him a great favour. Even if he had some request in the future, Lin Xun would not refuse him as long as he was able to meet it.

These were real wisdom and smart means to do things well and make people feel grateful.

Even Lin Xun could not help admiring Gu, thinking of this.

At the same time, Gu Yanping, standing outside the door, was also quite impressed by Lin Xun, in spite of his own rich life experiences. He had met a lot of amazing young people. Among them, some people had outstanding intelligence of cultivation, and some had abnormally wise means. Various young people had own advantages. Compared with those people, it seemed that Lin Xun was not so extraordinary.

But Lin Xun had a unique feature that made him stand out of the other people, and this feature was hard to be described even by Gu Yanping, but he was sure that this young boy – Lin Xun, as long as no special accident took place, he was destined to somebody someday and shock the world!

Would this prophesy come true someday?

For a moment, Gu Yanping recalled many things in the past.

Suddenly, from the distant lane came the sound of footfalls. Gu Yanping narrowed his eyes and came back from his thinking.

He was still there, but there was a sort of terror running through him, and a threatening majesty appeared on his mediocre face.
