Chapter 297: Maple Tower

Translator: Flying Lines

Proofread by Claire.KK

Green Willow Town was adjacent to Maple Mount. Most of the residents in the town earned their living by collecting medicine and hunting. They were not poor, but they were far away from wealth.

Like most towns in the Empire, Green Willow Town was small, but it was convenient. It had dense population, fast transportation and all kinds of restaurants, inns and businesses.

It was noon.

The Maple Tower, the most famous restaurant in the town, was bustling. There were young practitioners who tripped here, peddlers who ran their businesses all year round, and rich youngsters who sneak out to have fun.

All kinds of people could be seen here.

The restaurant was originally a special bustling place. People at every level gathered in one place, drinking and chatting. They talk freely about the news from the great events far away from empire to the small things in the streets of the city. All the news became the most exciting topics when they were drinking.

Today’s Maple Tower was as busy as before. But on the second floor of the restaurant, the atmosphere was differently quiet.

The number of population here was not little. On the contrary, most of the tables were already full of figures.

However, they were all drinking without talks, which made the atmosphere a little dull.

“What’s the special dish?”

“My guest, there are many special dishes. We have all food from the sky, water and the ground, such as braised purple-tail fish, fried green sparrow tongue and stewed delicacies…”

“I’ll have all of them. What’s the special drink then?”

“My guest, the Steamed Maple Wine in our Maple Tower is unique. Our guests all praise it highly.”

“Have a pot of it first, please.”

“OK, please wait upstairs.”

After a conversation, a tall figure walked up the second floor of the restaurant.

He was dressed in simple moonlight white clothes. His long black hair was tied behind his head with straw rope at will, revealing a clear and sharp face.

Behind him, there was a basket on his back. A three-or-four year old girl sat in the basket. She laid herself in front of the basket, looking around curiously with big black eyes.

This man, of course, was Lin Xun.

What he was wearing was just the clothes given by the little girl’s mother.

On the second floor, he glanced around at the diners who were eating on the tables. His eyes narrowed imperceptibly, and then he found a seat near the window with a smile on his lips. He took Luoluo out of the basket and put her on his side seat.

“Big brother, I want to play with Chirps.”

Luoluo raised her small face and looked at Lin Xun.

Lin Xun agreed and took Chirps out of his palm and left it on the table to play with Luoluo.

Many diners nearby witnessed this scene. Their eyes could not help but squint slightly, but they immediately took back their sights.

Lin Xun pretended to not notice all this. He smiled and watched Luoluo and Chirps. His attention was later attracted by the noise on the first floor of the restaurant.

“Shit, the spiritual shuttle fell and destroyed accidently. I heard that there are hundreds of people on it, including many practitioners!”

“I also heard that it was a few days ago that a spiritual shuttle was attacked by fierce birds in the sky when it was crossing the Maple Mount and all people on it died.”

“Are they all dead?”

“Of course, even if someone didn’t die immediately, how can he still be alive after falling into the dangerous Maple Mount as beasts ravage there?”

“This is the disaster of innocence.”

Hearing this, Lin Xun’s heart suddenly overflowed with an unexplained suffocation. Was it a disaster of innocence from a bird attack?

This was clearly a planned massacre!

But obviously, this news had been completely blocked by the enemy and they used a ridiculous bird attack to deceive others!

Lin Xun knew that since the enemy dared to do so, they must have no fear for people’s discussing. But he still underestimated the shamelessness of the enemy.

And this, perhaps, was the means by which those big wigs could deceive the world and covered the peace with a casual excuse.

Lin Xun was sure that even if he told the truth to others at this moment, no one would believe him!

After all, who would believe that the Battleship from the Empire would massacre people belonging to the Empire?

Just as Lin Xun’s mood fluctuated, a burst of proud laughter broke out——

“Dear Jiao, I can modestly say that in the Green Willow Town, if my Rui family claims to be the second place, no clan dares to be the first one! If you follow me, you will become the most remarkable woman in the Green Willow Town. ”

“Brother Rui Qing, I don’t want to be famous. I just want your care and love.”

A charming voice of a woman also sounded.

Lin Xun was suddenly stunned. Was there any people in the world boasted himself like this?

What made Lin Xun feel sick was that the woman’s voice was pompously sweet.

Immediately, at the entrance of the second floor, a young man in nice robe came up with a beautiful white skin woman next to him.

When they got up the second floor, they found a seat to sit down. The young man Rui Qing boasted about his family’s success all the time. The woman Jiao flattered him then.

Lin Xun couldn’t help shaking his head. He didn’t want to pay any more attention to these useless things. At this time, the wine and food were served. Lin Xun and Luoluo concentrated on eating immediately.

Chirps was lying lazily on one side, yawning. It looked like he was going to sleep. His favorite food was spiritual stones so he didn’t give an eye to the food.

“What a cute little fellow. Brother Rui Qing, do you know what kind of spirit beast is that? I want to nip its round body.”

Suddenly, the woman named Jiao on the nearby table pointed at Chirps, making a loud scream of exciting.

“Aha, since you like it, I will help you get it.”

With a laugh, Rui Qing stood up and walked over. He glanced sideways at Lin Xun and asked “Hey, dude, is this spirit beast yours? Well, I’ll give you a hundred silver coins. Sell me this little beast.”

He took out a money bag and drew it on the table. Then he raised his hand to grab Chirps without Lin Xun’s agreements.

Crack!

A pair of chopsticks fell down and knocked precisely on Rui Qing’s wrist. Rui Qing suddenly took back his hand as he was shocked by electricity. He was so painful that he could not stop gasping constantly.

Jiao screamed, got up and ran over. She cared anxiously, “Brother Rui Qing, are you ok?”

Rui Qing lost face as he suffered a great loss in front of his woman. He sneered, “I’m ok, but this man makes trouble today! Damn it, I’ve never suffered this kind of loss in Green Willow Town! ”

As he exclaimed, he tried to slap Lin Xun directly.

Rui Qing was simple and irascible, which made Lin Xun doubt whether this guy was arrogant or obtuse.

Crack!

Lin Xun sat still, but the chopsticks in his hands stabbed Rui Qing’s wrist accurately again. The pain made Rui Qing screaming and his cheeks twitched.

“Damn it, do you want to die! How dare you beat me! You’re in trouble. Don’t think you’ll leave Green Willow Town alive today! ”

Rui Qing growled.

He had been taught twice in a row. Instead of taking lessons, Rui Qing started to be ruthless. Lin Xun fully realized that he had met an arrogant person, who was not only lack of wisdom, but also had no vision at all.

Suddenly Lin Xun noticed something. He looked around and frowned. Without any hesitation, he stood up and said with a smile, “Friend, I’ll help you to seek your force.”

“What the hell do you mean?” Rui Qing was confused.

Lin Xun quickly grabbed Rui Qing’s lapel and threw him out of the window.

After a dull noise on the street outside, Rui Qing’s shrill voice also came out, “Bastard, wait for your punishment!”

Woman Jiao was so scared that she screamed, “Do… do you know who is Rui Qing? He is the third young childe of Rui family, which is the biggest force in the Green Willow Town. Since you offend him today, you should be…”

Before she finished her words, Lin Xun grabbed her and threw her out of the window too.

After that, Lin Xun shook his head, “They’re really a couple of arrogant people.”

He bowed his head and asked Luoluo, “Are you full?”

Luoluo nodded her head cleverly, holding Chirps in her arms hard as if she was guarding Chirps from being taken away.

“Let’s go now.”

Lin Xun picked up Luoluo, then put her in the basket, and carried it on his back.

“Big brother, were those two bad guys?”

Luoluo asked.

Lin Xun answered casually, “These two people are not worthy of being described as bad persons. They are just a couple of idiots.”

Speaking of this, Lin Xun glanced at the diners around him with a smile on his lips, “But you need to close your eyes first, Luoluo. The real villain will appear next.”

Although Luoluo didn’t understand Lin Xun’s words, she obediently covered her eyes and squat in the basket. “Big brother, I’ve promised youthat I won’t see the bad person.”

Lin Xun made a sound of knowing. His black eyes suddenly became indifferent when he glanced through the diners who were eating on the second floor. He said with a smile, “Everybody, lunch time is over. Now it’s time for you to go hell. Right?”

Clang!

With his words, the Flowing-light Saber appeared in his hand. Lin Xun swept through three diners at the nearest table fiercely.

Almost at the same time, the three diners swished up. Obviously, they were ready to fight back before Lin Xun took actions.

“We’ve been seen through. Let’s kill together!”

With a loud shout, all the diners who were sitting on the second floor stood up in a hurry, attacked Lin Xun with various spiritual weapons fiercely.

In an instant, the peace was broken. The restaurant turned to a battlefield with swords and sabers everywhere. The murderous atmosphere was growing as coming storm!

The noise was so loud that all the diners on the first floor of the restaurant were frightened. They ran away with a scream of fear.

The Maple Tower was caught in a bloody fight. The strong wind raged and the wall collapsed, accompanied by the crashing sound of the table, chair, cups and plates.

Even the pedestrians in the nearby streets were alarmed to avoid this area, for fear of being attacked wrongly.

No one noticed that there were many figures quietly lurked on the top of houses, shops and other buildings around the Maple Tower.

Each of them held the short crossbow or the spirit bow in their hands. They aimed at the Maple Tower together at the same time!
