Chapter 226: Maiden Yan’er



She was a rare beauty. She was, of course, the person in charge of Stone Cauldron Alms in Donglin City and the woman known as Black Rose—Mu Wansu.

She now had a completely different status and identity. Half a year ago, she received a massive promotion and became the manager of Haze City Stone Cauldron Alms.

Donglin City was a remote, border city, while Haze City was the capital of the southwest province. The fact that Mu Wansu had leapt to such a height undoubtedly proved that she possessed unquestionable ability and power.

She was shaking with laughter like she had heard the funniest joke in the world. “Master Xun, hahaha, that old guy exaggerates too much. If he knew that the so-called Master Xun is just a teenager. I wonder what his reaction would be.”

“Miss Wansu, are you really sure that Master Xun is the little guy who stirred up a storm in Donglin City last year?” asked Wang Lin, a treasure appraiser of Donglin City Stone Cauldron Alms. He had also come to Haze City with Mu Wansu.

“Besides him, who else could it be? Wang Lin, you also saw the Flame Blade that he made when he first came to Donglin City.“

Mu Wansu finally controlled her laughter after much difficulty. “Although the Snowfury Blade and Flame Blade are different, they have the same marking-the Xun character.”

Wang Lin pondered for a while, trying to remember the presentation from the advanced rune master Fang Yu.

He couldn’t help but sigh emotionally, “We haven’t seen each other in a year, and Lin Xun has suddenly become the famous Master Xun in Haze City. The world is indeed unpredictable. Who would have thought that Lin Xun, who used to live in the slums of Donglin City, would encounter such life-changing experiences?”

Mu Wansu’s eyes glazed over as she fell into deep thought. She remembered the first time she saw Lin Xun was in Feiyun Village in the depths of the Great Three Thousand Mountains. At the time, Lin Xun was just a country bumpkin and he wasn’t considered remarkable as he only had the strength of a second True Martial Stage cultivator.

At the time, Mu Wansu was very puzzled when First Young Master Shi Xuan regarded Lin Xun highly, but she now finally understood.

To this day, she could still clearly recall First Young Master Shi Xuan’s words: “There is a kind of person in the world who will release dazzling brilliance when given the chance. Perhaps we will find out whether he is a dragon in the future.”

When she thought about Lin Xun’s current accomplishments in Haze City, Mu Wansu was really impressed by First Young Master Shi Xuan’s accurate judgment of Lin Xun back then.

Lin Xun might not be the most impressive, but for a teenager from a village, he was like a carp leaped into the dragon gate.

Immediately, Mu Wansu curled a corner of her rosy plump lips in a sneer. “That bastard didn’t even say a word when he left. I won’t give face to him when I see him. It doesn’t matter that his identity has changed.”

Wang Lin smiled bitterly. When Lin Xun was in Donglin City, Mu Wansu didn’t particularly like Lin Xun and it was Wang Lin who personally came forward to reduce the tension between them.

Who would have thought that Mu Wansu still held a grudge towards Lin Xun? Wang Lin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry about that.

“But Wang Lin, remember that no one in Haze City knows about Master Xun’s identity. This has to be Lin Xun’s doing and he has to have a reason to do so. Out of respect for the First Young Master, we should pretend to not know anything,” Mu Wansu reminded him.

Wang Lin suddenly realized that although Mu Wansu sounded aggressive, she, in truth, had long dropped her prejudice against Lin Xun.

The bronze carriage quickly steered away.

My Wansu organized her thoughts and said ruminatively, “In two months, it will be the Haze City Stone Cauldron Alms 100th anniversary. It is also my first major event after I got promoted. Earlier, First Young Master Shi Xuan personally came forward to help me invite art cultivator Liu Qingyan to join us. When I arrive at Stone Cauldron Alms, I want to meet the famous art cultivator as soon as possible.”

Wang Lin's eyes lit up. “Miss Wansu, Liu Qingyan has arrived earlier than expected?”

Mu Wansu nodded and said thoughtfully, “As an art cultivator, Liu Qingyan is very remarkable to gain such a resounding reputation in the empire. Even the First Young Master has repeatedly reminded me to treat her as the most important guest. I’m very curious to see whether her charm is really as rumored and can really turn the world upside down.”

The azure-robed young master and servant Ying’er walked side by side along the bustling street.

“Ying'er, don't be so rude next time,” scolded the azure-robed young master.

Ying’er stuck out her tongue and chuckled, “Of course I will listen to your words but that guy was really annoying. I don’t think he even knows what the Ancient Law Ocarina is yet he dares to give you advice. How ridiculous!”

The azure-robed young master knitted his brows in deep thought. “Ying'er, do you think I should try and ask that Master Xun?”

Ying’er pursed her lips and said, “Young Master, that guy is clearly exaggerating Master Xun’s ability! Why would you believe him? Also, even the rune grandmasters of the Divine Workshop failed to repair the Ancient Law Ocarina. Would Master Xun be more amazing than the rune grandmasters from the Divine Workshop.”

“But I—” the azure-robed young master wavered.

Ying’er couldn't help but sigh, “Fine, fine, I'll accompany you to ask when there’s a chance.”

The azure robed young master smiled. “Yes, I won’t give up even if there’s only a glimmer of hope.”

Ying’er muttered, “I hope you won’t be disappointed again this time, but I feel that I will definitely be disappointed.”

The azure-robed young master swept an annoyed glance at Ying’er. “Alright, we should hurry back. Otherwise, Granny will be very angry if she knew that we had snuck out.”

“Miss, I won’t dare to be angry at you.” An old voice slowly rang out.

The azure-robed young master and Ying’er froze, looking at each other in dismay.

A wrinkled old woman with silver hair sauntered towards them with the support of her walking stick.

She seemed slow but she arrived in front of the two in the blink of an eye. Looking helplessly at the azure-robed youngster, she sighed, “Miss, it’s dangerous to come out alone. If something happens to you—”

Before she finished, the azure-robed young master hugged the old woman’s arm and said sweetly, “Okay, okay, granny, I won’t dare to do it next time. Don’t be angry.”

One moment, he was a handsome and graceful young man, and the next moment, he became a cute little girl. Her charm stunned all the passersby.

Clearly, the azure-robed young master called Yan’er was a woman disguised as a man.

“Hmph, and you little servant, if this happens again—”

The granny clearly doted on the azure-robed maiden called Yan’er and couldn’t bear to scold her. She just threw a glare at Ying’er.

Ying’er bowed her head. “Granny, I’m sorry.”

“Go back quickly. If you don’t go back, those young masters will create a scene, especially the Little Sword Lord of the Xie family. I can’t stop him if he acts wildly in Haze City.”

The granny turned around and walked away.

The maiden Yan’er frowned. She felt a headache coming on at the thought of the young masters gathered at her residence.

Those young masters were all nobles of the upper-class clans. They always did whatever they wanted and not many people dared to provoke them, even in Forbidden City.

When they heard that she was coming to Haze City, they all flocked there one after another. If they acted wildly in Haze City in order to find her, they might cause some sort of calamity.

“Granny, I don’t want to go back.”

The young maiden Yan’er looked at the granny with a pitiful look. Her pure and clear eyes were indescribably beautiful and innocent like black gemstones.

“You have to.” The granny stated without any hesitation.

Yan’er bit her lip and suddenly said, “I’ll go back, but you have to promise me one thing.”

“Miss, just tell me. I will definitely promise you if it’s within my ability. But if I can’t, please don’t make things difficult for me.”

Yan’er grinned, her smile pure and stunning like a flower blooming silently after the rain.

She said, “It’s a very simple thing, and it certainly won't make things difficult for you.”

The granny sighed in relief. “Miss, what is it?”

Ying’er rolled her eyes. “Granny, Miss heard that there is a Master Xun in Haze City who could repair her Ancient Law Ocarina so she wants you to come forward and help her find Master Xun.”

The granny snorted, “Someone in Haze City can repair the Ancient Law Ocarina? How would you believe that lie?”

Ying’er quickly responded, “Yes, I also don’t think Master Xun can do it, but Miss is so concerned about this matter that she was easily deceived by a bad guy.”

Granny narrowed her eyes, a terrifying glint flashed across them. “Who deceived Miss?”

“Ying’er, be quiet.”

Yan’er glared at Ying’er and explained to the granny. “I just want Master Xun to give it a try. It has nothing to do with the youngster. Please, I just want to give it a try. I have no other request.”

The granny seemed persuaded. After a moment she said, “Fine, but Miss you have to come back with me now. As for Master Xun, I will find time to invite him over.”

Yan’er’s eyes lit up. “Granny, you are the nicest person to me. With your help, the matter will definitely be successful.”

The granny dotingly patted the maiden’s head. “As long as Miss is happy.”

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was unaware of all this. He had just arrived at the Rune Master Association when Chu Feng invited him into a quiet room. Chu Feng exclaimed in delight, “It’s amazing that you could simultaneously deal with a dozen of rich and powerful forces. Not only that, even if they suffered a loss, they don’t even dare to make a huge deal out of it or let the matter spread. I’m utterly impressed.”
