Cuiyun downstairs.
Lin Yun had just descended the stairs when Pang Liang scurried out from the side.
“Brother Lin Yun, how is the situation? What does the Taishang Family Head of the Liusu Family want with you?”Pang Liang hurriedly inquired.
“They’re looking for me because they want me to help him with something.”Lin Yun said.
“The Quicksilver Family is looking for you to do something? That would be great ah, you can ask the Liusu clan, to help reconcile the conflict between you and Liu Chuan!”Pang Liang said joyfully.
“That’s right, the Taishang Family Master of the Liusu Family, has already taken the initiative to promise to help me mediate this matter and pay me an extra generous reward.”Lin Yun said.
“Haha, good! Great, this is really a desperate situation, with the Taishang Family Master of the Quicksilver Family greeting me, this trouble, it can come to an end.”Pang Liang was overjoyed.
“Right Brother Pang, where are the other old folks? I saw them watching the match under the ring earlier as well.”Lin Yun opened his mouth to enquire.
Pang Liang’s face changed slightly when he heard this.
“They still have things to do, so they …… all went back first.”Pang Liang replied.
“I’m really sorry for making brother Pang and the old townsfolk worried today, I underestimated this Liu Chuan’s shamelessness, he publicly set a promise and then went so far as to override it in public, it really disgraced his Liu family.”Lin Yun shook his head.
The great families generally valued face, Lin Yun originally thought that Liu Chuan was in the way of face, at least he wouldn’t publicly overturn his promises, he was at least a great son of a great family, wasn’t he?
As a result, Lin Yun had underestimated the extent of his shamelessness.
“Lin Yun ah, this matter has been turned over, in the future you must not be so impulsive again, we are after all natives from other worlds, there is not much background backing on this side, we are humble, in order to survive, sometimes it is time to bow down and admit to a wimpy behaviour, just admit to a wimpy behaviour.”Pang Liang spoke in a serious tone.
Lin Yun could only smile helplessly and bitterly when he heard this.
“Since the matter has been resolved, go, follow me back to the Pang Mansion first.”
Pang Liang led Lin Yun away towards the Pang Mansion.
On the way, Lin Yun asked Pang Liang about the situation of the Quicksilver Family.
Pang Liang told Lin Yun that the Quicksilver Family was the top of the eight great families of the Eastern Tan County City, and its strength also overshadowed the Liu Family.
However, the gap between the two wasn’t particularly large, and while both sides were peaceful on the surface, there was a lot of secret fighting in the shadows.
Pang Liang was also puzzled as he asked Lin Yun how the Liushu Family, being so powerful, would seek Lin Yun’s help in their work? It didn’t make sense.
Lin Yun said that he didn’t know the specifics either and would have to wait until tomorrow, but one thing was certain, the danger factor of this mission, was very high.
When Pang Liang heard Lin Yun say that, he could only remind, “Even if you’re looking for a Third Order Transformation Spirit cultivator to carry out a mission, they, the Liusu Clan, can still identify quite a few Third Order Transformation Spirits, so why did they choose to look for you?”
“I’m just worried that the Liusu Family wouldn’t, by any chance, use you as a gun, right? Lin Yun, you must be careful tomorrow, even if the mission fails, never lose your life.”Pang Liang earnestly urged.
In Pang Liang’s heart, there was a vague sense of foreboding.
“Don’t worry, I understand that too, I’ll go ahead and complete the mission within my ability, if there’s no hope of completing the mission, I’ll give up in due time and find a way to save my life.”Lin Yun said.
“I’m just afraid that when there’s really a great danger, you won’t be able to save your life even if you want to.”Pang Liang said.
Pang Mansion.
After Lin Yun and Pang Liang walked into the courtyard of the mansion, they found more than twenty old folks, all in the courtyard.
When they saw Lin Yun return, they all looked at him with a strange look.
With a smile on his face, Pang Liang waved his hands and said, “Everyone, I’ll tell you the good news, the Liusu family is going to help Lin Yun with the Liu family’s troubles, and in this matter, you don’t need to worry anymore.”
Only after the crowd heard this did they let out a long sigh of relief.
At this time, that high nosed old fellow stood out.
“Brother Pang, even if the Quicksilver Family steps in to help resolve this, I don’t think we can continue to keep him here, if we get too close to him, even if Liu Chuan is in the way of the Quicksilver Family and doesn’t dare to deal with him in the meantime, what if he spreads his anger on us and comes to deal with us?”The high nosed old villager said in a cold voice.
This high nosed old villager was called Yi Feng, and was likewise a Thousand Husbandman in the county city.
“What Brother Yi said is not unreasonable.”Another old folks also stood out to concur.
“Yi Feng, since the matter has been resolved, there’s no need to be like this, we’re all fellow members of the Temple.”Pang Liang mediated.
“If he doesn’t cause any trouble, of course we won’t be like this, he wants to make a fool of himself and mess with Liu Chuan, what can be done?”Yi Feng said in a cold voice.
Lin Yun swept a glance, although most of the old folks didn’t speak up or open their mouths to blame.
But looking at their appearance, more or less they all had some blame in their hearts, they were obviously all afraid of being implicated and having their future ruined.
“In this matter, it’s me who’s sorry to all of you, causing you all to almost suffer, I apologise to all of you.”
After Lin Yun finished speaking, he bowed deeply towards the crowd.
Lin Yun also knew in his heart that he might have implicated them by doing this.
However, everyone only cared about their personal interests when faced with danger, and Lin Yun was more than a little disappointed in this group in his heart.
Lin Yun had thought that since we were all from the Holy Temple, we could share the same pains and sufferings and share the same guts, and that if there was trouble, they could work together to find a way to help out, instead of flying separately in the face of great difficulties.
If what happened this time had happened to other old folks, Lin Yun would definitely have tried to help out in any way he could.
However, this was just wishful thinking on Lin Yun’s part.
These people could share your sweetness, but ultimately, they couldn’t share your suffering.
“Don’t worry, I, Lin Yun, do things alone, I’ll never involve everyone in this matter.”Lin Yun said.
Immediately after, Lin Yun looked at Pang Liang.
“Brother Pang, thank you for your hospitality these past two days, in order not to involve you and everyone else, I won’t be staying at the Pang Mansion for a while.”
Lin Yun cupped his fists towards Pang Liang, and then he directly turned around and walked out.
“Lin Yun, don’t go!”
Pang Liang hurriedly went to chase after Lin Yun.
“Brother Pang!”
Yi Feng, the high nosed old villager, and another old villager rushed up to stop Pang Liang.
“Brother Pang, let him go, you heard Liu Chuan’s warning to us today, if he continues to stay here, he might even implicate us, brother Pang, you can’t just think about him, you have to think about the future of us old buddies too!”Yi Feng had a serious face.
“This …… is just, just, just.”Pang Liang could only stop shaking his head.
Pang Liang could still recall the words he had given Lin Yun when he had gone to Nanfeng City to pick him up, he had said that in the future, Lin Yun’s affairs would be his affairs, and he had said that he would do everything in his power to help Lin Yun.
And now, he had obviously gone back on his word.
After Lin Yun walked out of the Pang Mansion.
“People are realistic after all.”Lin Yun shook his head helplessly.
Lin Yun had thought that by coming to the Pang Mansion in East Tan County, he had found ‘roots’ in this cultivation continent.
However, Lin Yun wouldn’t blame them, there was no excuse for their clear-cut choices.
……
The other side.
Liu Mansion, East Courtyard.
Liu Chuan was in the courtyard, drinking with a few dukes.
Liu Chuan’s mood, of course, was very unhappy, today he had lost his wife and his army, taking the initiative to launch a challenge threatening to get someone killed, but in the end, he was defeated instead, and also lost a full 40,000 spirit crystals.
