Returning a Favor
"I'm Lin Ling!" Lin Ling said indifferently.
"Lin Ling?" "Yes."
Wu Zhu frowned as he tried to recall. Suddenly, his expression changed. "You're the second prince's favorite, the one who defeated the top scholar not long ago, Commander Lin?" "Yes."
"Exactly!" Lin Ling nodded.
"My apologies for my earlier rudeness. I hope Commander Lin won't take offense!" "Yes."
After receiving Lin Ling's confirmation, Wu Zhu's expression changed and he fell to his knees.
Although he was one of Sima Zhenshan's men, he wasn't even a general. Commander Lin was the second prince's favorite. There was simply no comparison between the two.
If Lin Ling wanted to kill him, even in front of everyone, Wu Zhu wouldn't be able to do anything. Even if Sima Zhenshan found out, he wouldn't fight the second prince just for him.
Pa!
Lin Ling stepped on Wu Zhu's shoulder, forcing him to the ground. "What arrogance. If I wasn't Commander Lin, I'm afraid you'd teach me a lesson today!" "Yes."
Wu Zhu's face was already pressed to the ground, but he didn't dare to be arrogant. "I don't dare." "I beg."
"Have your Wu family's descendant come and be stepped on by me!" Lin Ling continued. These people took advantage of the changing times to bully the weak. It was extremely shameful.
"Ah? Me? " "Yes."
The Wu family's young master was still confused. He didn't expect that not only was his second uncle not afraid, but he also dared to step on him. That youth's background was even more terrifying than his second uncle's!
"Are you coming or not?" Lin Ling said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, I'll come immediately!" "Yes."
The Wu family's young master didn't dare to be negligent. He knelt on the ground and walked over. Lin Ling raised his other foot and stepped on him.
"You have two choices. One, you two die. Based on your nephew's daring to slander Prince Duan and the second prince in front of everyone, your crimes are enough to execute nine generations of your family. Two, hand over all of your family's assets to the An family. Make your choice! Lin Ling said coldly.
"Ah! If I hand over all my property, my father will kill me!" The young master of the Wu Family exclaimed in horror.
"So you've chosen the first option? Fine, I'll fulfill your wishes!" Lin Ling nodded.
Pa!
Wu Zhu, who was at the side, immediately gave his young master a slap. He was furious, the whole thing was caused by this Wu Lie. Even after kicking an iron plate, he still did not know his mistake, and even dared to slander Duke Duan and His Majesty the Second Prince. If this matter were to spread out, he would not be able to escape the punishment of nine generations!
Wu Lie, oh Wu Lie, why did my Wu Clan give birth to a trash like you? How many times have I told you? The situation in the outer city is turbulent, and there are countless experts. People of unknown origins can't be provoked. Yet, you were too arrogant, and now you're bringing disaster to your clan!
"Milord, we choose the second option. Tomorrow at noon, we will hand over all of our property, including this street! Wu Zhu said while kneeling.
"You're smart. Get out of here! "Scram!"
Lin Ling nodded indifferently. The two did not dare to say anything more, and left in terror. They had just taken a few steps when Lin Ling's cold voice rang out. "Stop!" "Stop!"
The two jumped in fright, completely terrified by that young man.
"I wasted so much saliva just now, you should at least give me some compensation. Hand over all the Spirit Crystals you have!" Lin Ling said slowly.
"Yes!" "Yes!"
The two smiled bitterly, and could only hand over the Spirit Crystals, and then disappeared into the crowd.
The crowd was silent, and everyone was shocked. They did not expect that young man to have such a powerful background.
"Senior Apprentice Sister An, these Spirit Crystals and the Wu Clan's property are yours!" "Yes!"
Lin Ling walked back and said to An Yuer. Everything he did before was to repay An Yuer's kindness.
An Yuer was grateful. The An Clan was in need of money, and who knew that Lin Ling would solve all their problems for them. She bowed. "Thank you, Junior Apprentice Brother!" "Thank you."
While bowing, she was shocked. She never expected that a little disciple from the Gu Yan Sect would reach such heights today and enter the circle of experts in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom.
When she bowed, her chest revealed a large patch of snow white, full like snow. Lin Ling inadvertently saw it, and he instantly felt his mouth go dry. He helplessly shook his head.
When An Yuer stood up again, Lin Ling smiled awkwardly. Although he was fast, An Yuer still noticed his strange expression. She then recalled and blushed.
"That's right, Senior Apprentice Sister An is also an alchemist. Why don't I recommend you to Duke Duan? He is lacking talents in alchemy!" Lin Ling changed the topic.
They were together when they were learning martial arts in the sect. There was always an indescribable relationship between them.
"If that's the case, then thank you, Junior Apprentice Brother. Senior Apprentice Sister doesn't know how to repay you for your help!" "Thank you."
An Yuer's heart felt warm as she spoke again with gratitude.
The An Clan might be a faction under the Duan Residence, but they weren't well-received. After all, Duke Duan had too many factions under his command, and he couldn't possibly take care of everything. However, it was different if Lin Ling recommended her. Duke Duan would definitely value her highly. As such, the An Clan would have a powerful backer.
"Hehe, if Senior Apprentice Sister An wants to repay Big Brother Ling, then why don't you marry Big Brother Ling? Since Senior Apprentice Sister An is someone who has helped Big Brother Ling before!" You You suddenly interjected from the side. She was naturally acquainted with An Yu 'er. Back then, they were also disciples of the same faction in the Gu Yan Sect.
"This …"
An Yuer's face turned even redder.
Lin Ling scratched the back of his head and was speechless.
They chatted as they walked. Lin Ling invited An Yuer to the Fire Ancient Clan as a guest. When Ancestor Taiyan saw An Yuer, he was stunned for a long time before he let out an indescribable laugh.
Chen 'er, your son has three good wives now. They're much better than you!
Lin Ling didn't delay An Yuer's matter for long. That night, he went to visit Duke Duan and made his request. Duke Duan didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed.
Lin Ling was still very grateful to Duke Duan. This Duke had recognized his worth. If he had the ability in the future, he would repay these favors one by one.
The two chatted for a while. Duke Duan said that the geniuses in the inner city had all come out. The Second Prince wanted Lin Ling to represent their faction and gain a firm foothold in the inner city.
Lin Ling nodded in agreement. Anyway, he had rested. It was time for him to fight!
After staying in the Fire Ancient Clan for a few more days, Lin Ling went to the inner city alone. Although the inner city and outer city were separated by a city, they were actually two different worlds!
As soon as he arrived in the inner city, Lin Ling received news that the mysterious young man, Ye Tianchen, who rose like a dazzling star, had defeated the scholar scholar, Zuo Shaoshu. Then, he challenged the geniuses of various ancient families and defeated them one by one, becoming famous in the inner city!
When he wanted to challenge Lin Ling, Lin Ling wasn't in the inner city. Therefore, Lin Ling was lucky enough to avoid the battle. However, according to Ye Tianchen, the battle with Lin Ling was dispensable. After all, no matter how strong Lin Ling was, he would lose without a doubt!
