Chapter 1414: Repaying Grace with a Grudge

As a precaution, the Wang Family stationed their elites at the entrance. They possessed strong cultivation and gave off powerful auras.

Lin Xun blandly said, "I'm not here as a guest."

Xiaocao remained silent beside him as her heart pounded loudly in her chest. She knew that Lin Xun was no longer the same fool from the past. Moreover, his killing methods were endlessly terrifying and inconceivable.

If he wished to force his way into the Wang Family residence, these guards alone would not be able to stop him.

At the same time, she couldnt wait for him to try. Once things escalated, the Wang Family experts would be alerted, and they would destroy him!

The guards couldn't help but frown at Lin Xuns reply. At this juncture, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade clothes and a sable fur coat emerged from a luxurious carriage. He was escorted by attendants like a moon surrounded by stars and was clearly an important bigwig.

"Young man, not just anyone can enter the Wang Family gates. It took me more than ten years to finally be able to proudly walk through these doors. Im afraid someone like you wont be able to enter even if you struggle your whole life."

Afterward, the middle-aged man proudly placed his hands behind him and slowly walked past Lin Xun.

The guards respectfully said, "Elder Liu Hong, please enter."

Lin Xun frowned as he recalled something. "So you're Liu Hong."

Although he had mostly spent his days staring blankly into space, it didnt mean he was completely clueless.

He remembered that Liu Hong had been involved in the dispute between his father and Qingyun Sect. Liu Hong was the deputy city lord of Yujing City and possessed a great deal of power and authority.

In fact, Liu Hong had been his fathers sworn brother long ago.

However, Liu Hong had kept his distance from the Lin Family ever since Lin Xuns father died. To make things worse, Liu Hong had taken advantage of the Lin Clans decline to wrestle away three of their ore mines.

Back then, Lin Xuns mother had been so angry that she cried countless times and called Liu Hong an ungrateful backstabber.

It was only later that Lin Xun discovered that Liu Hong was originally a scholar from a poor background who had gradually managed to earn a place for himself in Yujing City after receiving his fathers recognition. Moreover, with his father's strong support, Liu Hong eventually became one of the three deputy city lords.

It was just that the previous Lin Xun rarely had contact with the outside world and had never seen Liu Hong before, which was why he didn't recognize this person at the first time.

"You know me?"

At the Wang Family residence entrance, Liu Hong turned around with a frown.

Lin Xun indifferently said, "Whether I know you isnt important. What matters is that youre here which saves me the trouble of finding you."

Liu Hong's expression darkened. ''Young man, what do you mean by that?"

"Elder, please calm your anger. You are an esteemed guest of the Wang Family so leave these trivial matters to us."

The guards expressions turned ice-cold, thinking that Lin Xun was here to cause trouble.

With a cold snort, Liu Hong turned away.

If it were anywhere else, he would have taught the other party an unforgettable lesson for such disrespectful words.

Who the hell did this young man think he was? How dare he act so rudely when he was merely someone who couldnt even enter the Wang Family's doors? He was nothing more than a fool with a death wish!

Lin Xun didnt make any moves while Liu Hong departed.

It suddenly occurred to him that since Liu Hong was here, wouldnt all the other big shots in the city be here as well? In that case, what harm was there in waiting a little longer?

Who knows, he might even encounter others who harmed the Lin Family.

One of the guards murderously glared at Lin Xun with a sinister expression. "Friend, well give you a chance. Get out of our sights now!"

Lin Xun turned around and left. He relocated to the other side of the street far away where he stood under a large banyan tree to take shelter from the snow.

The guards were stunned by Lin Xuns tactful departure, but soon revealed disdainful expressions as they shook their heads.

They had originally thought he was a troublemaker only to realize that he was nothing but a pushover.

On the other hand, Xiaocao was confused. She had been nervously anticipating the bloody battle that would follow only for Lin Xun to back off all of a sudden.

Xiaocao frostily said, "What happened, have you suddenly learned how to be afraid?"

Under the banyan tree, Lin Xun remained calm and unperturbed. He said, "In my eyes, the Wang Family is akin to a big net. It wont be too late to reel in the net once all the fish have entered."

Xiaocao's pupils abruptly expanded as an indescribable chill rose in her heart. Was he intending to catch all of the Lin Familys enemies in one fell swoop?

Where did he even find the confidence to think of something so absurd?

As far as Xiaocao could remember, the foolish young master had never cultivated since he was born.

Although the Lin Family Head had prepared many elixirs and secret cultivation manuals for him, he hadnt even glanced at them, let alone practiced cultivation.

Xiaocao didn't believe that there was anyone in the world who could ascend from a mortal to an omnipotent powerhouse after figuring out a single question!

Additionally, how could such a muddleheaded fool who had never cared about worldly affairs even know which factions or enemies had harmed the Lin Family?

It was simply ridiculous!

In all the years she had lived, Xiaocao had never encountered something so preposterous.

However, she wasnt aware that when Lin Xun was born, he had awakened a special consciousness that was far beyond her imagination!

Although he had been stuck on a certain question for more than twenty years, it didnt mean he was a fool, nor did it mean that he was oblivious to everything that was happening in the Lin Family.

In short, it was something even the most powerful cultivators of this world would not be able to understand or comprehend, let alone a maidservant like Xiaocao!

Lin Xun naturally wouldnt explain any of this.

Time passed little by little.

The guards were initially a little wary of Lin Xun. After all, it was slightly suspicious that he hadnt properly left.

However, after observing that he hadnt done anything for an hour, they couldnt be bothered to pay him any more attention.

Lin Xun looked at the sky and muttered to himself, "Almost there."

Due to the cold, Xiaocaos lips had turned purple, her complexion had become pale, and she felt very stiff. After all, it was simply torturous to stand here without moving on such a cold day.

After hearing his remark, she violently shuddered and suddenly found the strength to ask, ''Are you really going off to your death?"

Lin Xun glanced at her and said, ''You must have suffered in the Wang Family all these years, haven't you?"

Xiaocao blurted out, "How did you know?"

Lin Xun answered, ''We've already been standing here for quite some time. It's understandable for them not to recognize me, but is it normal for no one to recognize a maid who serves Wang Ziluan? At the very least...you should be considered a part of the Wang Family now."

Xiaocao was stunned. Her expression fluctuated indeterminately as if Lin Xun had seen through her deepest secret before she bitterly said, "I dont serve Wang Ziluan, but her dog. What kind of status can I possibly have?"

Lin Xun was genuinely taken aback. After a long time, he said, "I didn't know."

"Isnt it all because of you?!"

Xiaocao angrily said, "Due to the Lin Familys fall, I had nowhere to go. To survive, I had no choice but to serve someone else. However, when Wang Ziluan learned that I once served you, she said that someone who used to serve a fool like me would never be qualified to serve her. At most, I can only be a servant to a dog she raises!"

The more she spoke the more aggravated she became as tears began falling from her eyes.

After a brief silence, Lin Xun asked, "Why go to the Wang Family?"

Xiaocao gritted her teeth. "Did you think I wanted to? Go and ask who in Yujing City would dare to take in a maid from the Lin Family like me without first getting permission from the Wang Family?"

Lin Xun said, ''Wouldnt that mean the other servants and followers who left the Lin Family had similar experiences as you?"

Xiaocao icily snorted and said, "That wasnt the case. I can only blame myself for having served you! Do you know? It's because of you that I had to serve a dog for so many years!"

It was as if all the anger and frustration she had bottled up was exploding all at once.

"No wonder you were so anxious to make it clear there was no relation between us when we met yesterday. No wonder you brought those lackeys to kill me today..."

Lin Xun sighed softly.

Xiaocao said, "Do you understand now?"

Lin Xun's black eyes seemed to turn as deep as the night as he looked at Xiaocao and said, ''Do you feel that it's all my fault?"

Xiaocao answered without any hesitation, "Then whose fault should it be? Mine?"

Lin Xun indifferently said, "When you were in the Lin Family, the Lin Family and I never treated you badly. Although you were just a maidservant, you enjoyed treatment that was better than any other maidservant such as nice clothes, good food, and a worry-free life.

"However, you never showed any gratitude.

"When the Lin Family fell into ruin, you didn't hesitate to leave and defect to the Wang Family in order to survive. Yet, you blame me for all the injustices you suffered in the Wang Family...don't you find that ridiculous?"

At this point, Lin Xun's voice turned even more indifferent, ''Do you know why Ive told you so much? Its because you served me for many years, and I treated you as one of my own. Alas...you have disappointed me."

With that, he walked away.

Xiaocao was left in a daze, trembling as her expression fluctuated indeterminately. After a long time, she clenched her teeth and said, ''If you had become this smart earlier, would I have become like this? Disappointed? I'm the one who should be disappointed!"

She suddenly took a deep breath, allowing the cold wind that filled her lungs to cool her head. She gazed at Lin Xun's back with ice-cold eyes as she crazily thought, "Go ahead and die. When you're dead, I won't have anything to do with you anymore!"

She refused to believe that Lin Xun would be able to walk out of the Wang Family alive.

Lin Xun once again arrived in front of the Wang Family residence.

The guards were stunned when they saw that it was him again before their expressions turned stormy.

One of the guards bellowed as he swung his hand to slap Lin Xun, "You again? Havent you given up? Hurry up and get lost! No matter your goal or whatever it is youre thinking, the likes of you will never be able to enter the Wang Familys doors!"
