Lin Xiu suddenly opened his eyes and kept the Wangjiang sword. The spherical leaves that had been spinning suddenly seemed to have lost their power and fell to the ground. No, not fell to the ground, but smashed into the ground.
The richest man saw that Lin Xiu had finished his practice and kept the Wangjiang sword in his spatial ring. After confirming that it was safe, the richest man moved closer to Lin Xiu and saw the small pit formed by the leaves. He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine and looked at Lin Xiu in disbelief. Fortunately, it was the leaves and not him...
Lin Xiu stood in the same place and quietly recalled the aura in his body. En, it was more stable than before. He should have broken through again and was now closer to the late stage of the Tempered Bones realm.
However, Lin Xiu was not in a hurry. Firstly, he had only reached the Tempered Bones realm for a short time. Even if there was an opportunity to break through, he could not fully grasp it with his current skills. Furthermore, ever since he obtained the Wangjiang sword and the Scarlet Bead that Ye Wang gave him, his skills had improved by leaps and bounds. If he was too obsessed with breaking through, he would be at a disadvantage.
What he did now was to let nature take its course and take it slow.
Lin Xiu patted Jin Xin's shoulder, he didn't have to be afraid of being disappointed.
However, at this time, the fatty, the future richest man was still immersed in deep shock. He was suddenly patted and then saw Lin Xiu's concerned eyes, causing him to shiver.
"Erm, Brother Lin, oh no, Hero Lin, seeing that I have always served you well, please don't be calculative with me," Jin Xin looked at Lin Xiu pitifully.
"Oh? You have been spending my money these days, when have you ever served me well? "Lin Xiu looked at his pitiful look and couldn't help but laugh. He wanted to deliberately tease him.
The fatty became anxious when he heard this. He took out a tightly wrapped cloth bag and handed it to Lin Xiu respectfully.
"Hero Lin, all the gold coins that I have stolen these days are all here." Lin Xiu was a little puzzled. The two of them had been getting along quite well these days, why was he so afraid of him?
Lin Xiu opened the cloth bag. Ah, it turned out that he hadn't been idle these days. There were about 40 gold coins and a few small gold notes.
Lin Xiu said with a straight face, "As expected of the richest man."
Hearing this, Jin Xin became even more flustered. He gritted his teeth and ignored Lin Xiu's disdainful expression. He took out a cloth bag from his crotch and carefully opened it, then pushed it to Hero Lin with a pained expression.
Lin Xiu took a closer look and was dumbfounded. There were a few wrinkled gold notes inside, but each one was worth thousands.
It was important to note that this was a huge sum of wealth. An ordinary family of five would only have an annual expenditure of around one gold coin.
And this greasy, greedy, and lecherous fatty actually had so many assets. This really made Lin Xiu look at him differently.
"Hero Lin, this is all I have. I'll give it all to you. Can you spare my life?"
Jin Xin looked at him in shock. "Lin said." Xiu Lin Dao. "Lin said. Xin," I take, I, I, I, I, in, I, I, I, you, I, I, I, you, I, I, you, I, I, I, you.
Jin Xin looked at him in disbelief. If someone else was greedy for his fortune, he would not let them live.
"What, you don't want to accept it? I won't stand on ceremony then." Lin Xiu teased.
Hearing this, Jin Xin knew that Lin Xiu was joking with him. He quickly took back the cloth bag and put it back as fast as lightning, as though he was afraid that Lin Xiu would go back on his words.
"Haha, I knew it. Brother Lin, how could you bear to kill me? After all, we are brothers who have gone through hardships together. Besides, don't you like the food I roast?" After Jin Xin felt relieved, he quickly put on a smiling face, as if the cowering person just now wasn't him.
Seeing how quickly the fatty changed his expression, Lin Xiu was helpless and impressed. He said indifferently, "When did I say that I would kill you? But don't do it again."
He added, "The average family only spends a dozen or so gold coins a year. Richest man, you are alone. With a few hundred gold coins, you can rest easy for the rest of your life. Why do you need to steal so much?"
The atmosphere was a little tense.'If you want money, I, Lin Xiu, will give you a thousand gold coins. So what? You shouldn't do things like this. '
Jin Xin lowered his head and was silent for a moment. When he raised his head again, there was less flattery and more vicissitudes of life, "Brother Lin, let me tell you my story.
My family was originally in Qingzhou City and can be considered a local tyrant. We have been doing business for generations. Our ancestors once said that our descendants are not allowed to enter the palace to avoid disputes. We only want to do business.
Our descendants have always remembered the teachings of our ancestors and have been conscientious for a hundred years. Our business has been thriving and each generation is better than the last. In Qingzhou, we are considered one of the wealthiest families.
I am the only heir of the family. In the past few years, there have been countless matchmakers for me, and they are all young ladies from wealthy families.
But when I went out to play, I met a lady and fell deeply in love with her. She was just a lady from an ordinary family, neither rich nor exceptionally beautiful, but I liked her gentle personality and charming temperament. Every day, I would think of ways to make her happy.
She liked rouge, so I bought the most expensive and beautiful rouge in the entire Qingzhou for her. She said that she wanted to ride a horse, so I used a thousand gold coins to buy a Drinking Wind Horse from the north, just to make her smile. "
As he said this, Jin Xin's eyes were filled with memories.
"But fate makes fools of people. I treated her sincerely, but she treated me like grass and didn't know how to cherish me at all.
Later, she was instructed by the son of the City Lord to frame our family as a spy sent by the other dynasties to the Tianshui Dynasty. She wanted to exterminate us.
There were more than two hundred people in our family, and they were all killed. That night, I hid in a secret room. In order to divert their attention, the elders took the initiative to run towards the butcher's knife in order to let me escape. Everyone in the Golden Gate, regardless of gender or age, was killed. Even the servant girls were not spared.
I hated myself for believing in a woman so much! At that time, I didn't listen to the advice of the elders and was unable to extricate myself from her beauty. I gave her all of my trust, and it was I who destroyed our entire family. "
Jin Xin's face was covered with tears, and he seemed to have gone mad.
"Do you know? I watched helplessly as my clansmen were killed. How I wished I could die for them. It was all caused by me.
But I can't die. If I die, who can avenge the Jin Clan's blood feud? The foundation of our ancestors has been completely destroyed by my hands. If I can't avenge them, I won't dare to meet the two hundred elders of the Golden Gate even if I die. "
Jin Xin was already sobbing and his voice was trembling.
Lin Xiu didn't know how to comfort him, but he couldn't bear to see Jin Xin in such a pitiful state, so he simply used a karate chop to make Jin Xin fall asleep.
Since he couldn't forget, he would make himself feel a little more comfortable in his dreams.
The moonlight was just right and the leaves were fluttering. Lin Xiu suddenly felt that a song from the Qian Yuan Dynasty was very suitable:
Shake and shake, shake my thoughts to the Bridge of Helplessness.
Look, look, look at me becoming a great hero in the world of the living.
The hatred of this life will be settled in this life, and I will be free after this.
