Chapter 99: The Wrath out of Despair

This County Test was quite different from the past ones.

An additional test was already a pioneering undertaking in the history of Country Test in Donglin Town, and because Lin Xun’s name was not on the list of candidates who passed the test, another disturbance was caused.

No one had expected this.

Lin Xun knew that this was unavoidable, and his enemies with hatred in their hearts would never let him easily pass the County Test and leave the Donglin Town.

What happened in front of him proved what he had predicted was right.

Lin Xun had no time for anger, hatred, sigh or grief. Now he must use every means possible to save himself.

The sense told him that anger, hate, sign and grief made no difference to the matter; the self-saving was a top priority.

Though no real killing happened at the moment, the situation had become extremely critical, and a small mistake would lead to death.

Although Lin Xun had tried his best to defend himself, he neglected one person–

Yao Tuohai!

At the moment, when Wu Chaoqun and Yu Canglin were all considering the pros and cons of killing Lin Xun, Yao Tuohai, who had been looking on coldly, finally started to speak.

He sat up straight, refined as before, with a dignified voice arising, “The County Test has been delayed too long. Seize him first and take him out of this place, and later I will report what happened today to higher-ups of the empire”.

Direct and simple as the words sounded, this statement showed Yao’s attitude. The first thing he would do was to take Lin Xun away whether the accusation against Lin was true or not. Even if there were any rumors, Yao would explain in person, which meant that he would bear all the responsibility.

The move would undoubtedly sentence Lin Xun to death!

This was Yao Tuohai. After a long silence, here came a thunderous blow, leaving Lin little room to escape.

Lin Xun was instantly saddened. He had been fighting with Yu Canglin and Wu Chaoyun in terms of wits and courage, and the only person he couldn’t understand was Yao Tuohai who hadn’t spoken a word before.

He thought that Yao Tuohai, as a chief examiner from other place, didn’t want to involve himself in the disturbance, so he kept silent. He didn’t expect that Yao Tuohai would say such words and give him such a deadly strike.

It was beyond his expectation, and he was caught unprepared.

After the final judgment given by Yao Tuohai, people like Yu Canglin, Wu Chaoqun and others who hated Lin Xun all let out a sigh with relief, looking at Lin Xun with ruthlessness and mockery. A little bastard assumed great airs, but ended up with a failure! He ridiculously overrated himself and knew nothing about power and influence of a real big shot! Pitiful!

To all the others present, what Yao Tuohai just said was like a short but final decision!

The crowd was excited, uproarious and fulfilled, cheering.

The previously silent group was in an uproar; everyone knew that Lin Xun was doomed to die with no hope of survival at all!

Lian Fei smiled, and he was so excited that his face became red; he even wanted to shout with excitement since it was very hard for him to kill Lin Xun by himself!

“What did I say before? He is doomed to die as long as my father is here!” Yao Susu smiled with a complacent look.

“Go catching this boy!” Yu Canglin shouted on the high platform.

A teacher from Donglin School, who had been called out early and waiting aside, was ready to take action after hearing that, and his solemn face became slightly awful.

“Wait a sec!”

At the very moment, Mu Wansu suddenly stood up, biting her lips with a little hurry but also a bit of resolve, “Calm your anger, please! Our big Childe thinks highly of Lin Xun, and he can’t be an unpardonable criminal.”

People on the high platform were in a trance; then they immediately realized who this big Childe was, so their expression altered drastically.

Shi Shuan!

The eldest son of the Fortune God Shi in the empire!

Shi Shuan had thought highly of Lin Xun long time ago!

Dare Mu Wansu lie? No, she daren’t, not in the name of Shi Shuan at least. So what she said must be true.

Just because of this, Yu Canglin, Wu Chaoqun and others who hated Lin Xun felt very depressed. They were expecting to see Lin be caught, but here happened this accident.

At this point, Yao Tuohai frowned slightly, and said sullenly, “No matter who backs this boy up, today he can’t escape from the punishment. I am the chief examiner; I don’t need someone to tell me how to be an examiner!”

Who was Yao Tuohai? He had already been highly regarded by the Prime Minister of the empire 30 years ago. In the whole southwestern province, the only one who could put on a par with him was Liu Wujun. Even if he was not in charge of everything, he was powerful in certain regions of the empire at least. He could never be easily frightened.

Powerful as Shi Shuan was, he was just a son of Fortune God Shi. If Shi Shuan came here in person, maybe Yao Tuohai would spare Lin’s life for his sake.

But at the moment, Yao Tuohai wouldn’t take back what he said just for Shi Shuan was mentioned, never!

Hearing this, Mu Wansu had a terrible upset and felt hopeless with her face turning pale. Today Lin Xun was…impossible to escape his doom.

Not only Yu Canglin, but also Wu Chaoqun and other people who hated Lin Xun felt completely relieved. They were responding with a sneer and thought to themselves, “Lin Xun, it is even useless to mention the name of Shi Shuan, the son of Fortune God Shi. You are dead meat today, and no one can save you in this world.”

Boom!

That teacher from Donglin School went into action suddenly. He was a middle-aged man in Gang Spirit Realm, with a stony face. He did not say a word, and rushed straight at Lin Xun, His figure, just like a brilliant rainbow, moved with fearsome momentum.

Lin Xun took a deep breath with his firmness of will. He knew he was in a desperate situation today, but he never allowed himself to be seized without putting up a fight.

As Lin Xun was about to fight with that middle-aged man, a sharp whistler-type noise sounded in the air, pricking the eardrums of the people present.

Abruptly, a long bone spear appeared, with ethereal silver light gleaming around its jade-like body, rubbing against the air and releasing a powerful strength, and shot to the middle-aged man directly.

That middle-aged man’s face suddenly changed. He brutally slapped the spear.

Bang!

At this moment, as thunderous impact sound arose, the air billows, like hurricane, scattered. Those practitioners nearby were thrown far away violently before they could react, which led to an uproar.

That middle-aged man, he took five or six steps backward. His face became livid, and then turned pale again, and he got shocked and raged. He was thinking who dared to create a disturbance in Donglin School.

At this point, not only that middle-aged man but also Yao Tuohai, Yu Canglin, Wu Chaoqun, etc. on the high platform were looking at the square. Finally, they all concentrated on the position where Lin Xun stood.

Over there stood a little girl in a black wind coat. Originally, people could only see her face as the hood had almost covered her whole face, but now her small beautiful face that could even eclipse the whole world exposed to the public as the air billow raised her hood in the fight just now.

She was holding an over 3-meter long bone spear, quietly standing beside Lin Xun. No one could image, if they had not seen it with their own eyes, that such a little girl was able to fight with that middle-aged man whose cultivation had already reached Gang Spirit Realm!

But soon, when the people present clearly saw her exceedingly beautiful appearance. At that moment, everyone was in a trance.

The uproarious square suddenly became deadly quiet. Even Yao Tuohai looked stupefied.

What a beautiful girl!

She was so perfect just like an exquisite masterpiece made by the God. Her beauty did not belong to the human world, but now it was owned by a five or six-year-old girl. All people were shocked and this kind of shock could confuse their state of mind!

Lin Xun sighed and ignored all the other people. He looked at Shia Zhi and said, “You should leave first. Even if I unfortunately die today, you can revenge me later.”

Shia Zhi shook her head and said, “If you die, there is only darkness left in my world. If so, I can’t find the meaning of my life.”

Although she didn’t say that she was willing to die together with Lin Xun, but her words made Lin Xun tremble and a kind of unspeakable complex emotion welled up in Lin’s heart.

“You must leave!”

Lin Xun suddenly gritted his teeth and said to Shia Zhi in a voice which only she could hear, “You said you couldn’t find the meaning of your life? Remember those people who are sitting on the high platform and remember what they look like. Kill all of them, except Mu Wansu. Then, I can die without anything to regret!”

Shia Zhi frowned, raising her head and looking at the people on the high platform. There was an indifferently emotion revealed from her clear eyes.

Not waiting for Shia Zhi to talk, suddenly Yao Tuohai sitting on the high platform said with a heavy sound, “You break into the test site without authorization, and disturb the County Test. Neither of you can leave today!”

Everyone was shocked after hearing that.

Lin Xun could no longer control his anger which had been constrained for a long time. The anger, like boiling lava, was running all over his body and it was about to go off at any time.

Lin Xun was thinking that leaving him alone here was fine. But a sudden wave of anger overwhelmed him and he was out of control when Yao Tuohai would like to detain Shia Zhi here as well. All the hatred rushed out from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Xun saw Shia Zhi suffer a heavy blow when they fought with Tiger Lyu. Now Lin Xun had the same feeling as before. His endless anger was like a flame burning inside his body, leaving him completely irrational.

At that moment, no one noticed that a pair of bloody vortexes, like dark abyss, emerged in Lin Xun’s deep eyes, because of the wrath.

But Shia Zhi noticed that. She was a little bit worried about Lin Xun and her small tranquil white face showed slight nervousness which was rarely seen. She subconsciously grabbed Lin Xun’s hands and said, “No.”

Lin Xun suddenly stopped after sobering up from his endless anger, looking at Shia Zhi frustratedly and then running down those people who had indifferent faces and pairs of high-blown eyes. Then, he said to Shia Zhi, “I will try my best to create the opportunities for you to escape, and you have to leave here at all costs. This is an order! Got it?”

Shia Zhi was in a daze for a while. Her eyes were full of tears while she nodded.

Yao Tuohai sitting on the high platform couldn’t help but frown and he stood up quickly when seeing all of this and said coldly, “Wanna escape? Don’t kid yourself!”

Nobody knew why Yao Tuohai who was just unhurried and calm now got amuck.

Only Yao Tuohai knew himself clearly. He desired to appropriate Shia Zhi to himself when seeing her at the first sight. Now he could not curb his desire and was totally out of control!

This kind of desire was from his instinct. Shia Zhi seemed to have some kind of power under her incomparable beautiful look, which make him desperately want to possess her!
