Above all spirits

Chapter 56 Getting Ready

"Xiaodie? Right?"

Gu Yun ignored Lin Zaicheng's provocation and continued to ask the woman in blue beside him.

Xiaodie was a little confused and nodded blankly.

"Do you like this job? Do you plan to stay at Zuixianju in the future?"

Xiao Die nodded reflexively at first, but after recalling Gu Yun's words, she immediately shook her head. To prevent Gu Yun from misunderstanding, Xiao Die suppressed the pressure of the environment and whispered.

"No... I'm not doing it anymore."

"Damn it, I'm talking to you!"

"Are you deaf?"

"It's just looking for death!"

Lin Zaicheng finally couldn't suppress his inner irritation and his anger erupted instantly.

One unpleasant thing after another happened today, and now it's no use trying to stop it.

The white air currents gathered at Lin Zaicheng's legs the moment he finished speaking, as if no longer affected by gravity, and he glided rapidly towards the fourth floor, treating the steps as nothing, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

In everyone's eyes, it was like a streak of blue light, heading straight for the man in black.

"You lowly commoner, you're out of luck today!"

"Slice-wind leg!"

Xiaodie noticed Lin Zaicheng approaching with a fierce attack and involuntarily closed her eyes tightly.

Bai Qing'er and Hongxiu, on the other hand, felt nothing at all, and were even somewhat gloating. Their worldviews had long been altered by Gu Yun. Having witnessed the earth-shaking scene, Gu Yun was already omnipotent to them.

"boom----!"

"Ping—crack! Crack!"

Just as the cyan figure was about to rush towards the man in black, what happened next was not as everyone expected. The man in black endured the humiliation without fighting back because of Lin Zaicheng's background, or was directly knocked away because of his lack of strength.

On the contrary, the blue light reflected back along its original path, like an arrow released from a bow, swooping down and mercilessly striking the decorative shelves on the first floor, shattering bottles and jars all over the floor.

Yu Wei looked at the valuable fragments with a pang of heartache, then glanced at Gu Yun and Lin Zaicheng, and sighed.

I've really messed up today. I originally thought Gu Yun was just an easy target, and he really is just a nouveau riche as Lin Zaicheng said.

Now that's settled, Gu Yun is clearly not someone to mess with. Maybe he's even more powerful than Lin Zaicheng, so I'd better just keep quiet.

Hopefully, they won't tear down this building before the experts hired by Zuixianju arrive.

Zuixianju's headquarters are located in the capital, and it employs a master in each city-state it occupies to keep order. Because few dare to touch such a behemoth as Zuixianju, the masters it employs are not usually kept in Zuixianju and are not restricted in their freedom.

The strength of those hired will be adjusted according to the overall strength of the city-state they belong to.

Yu Wei had just secretly sent a message to the adult hired by Zuixianju in Lanyu City using a special method.

"Holy crap, that's amazing!"

"My God, even Young Master Lin has been sent flying one day!"

"You ruthless one, I'll toast you."

“It’s so refreshing.”

"Keep your voice down, bro. Don't you want to stay in Lanyu City anymore?"

"It's okay, I can't hear you."

"Give me a plate of sunflower seeds!"

...

The customers on the first floor began to whisper among themselves. Some, fearing they might get involved, had already quietly left. Others, with a "let's have some fun" attitude, were quietly stirring things up. Still others were engrossed in their meals, just wanting to finish quickly.

Meanwhile, the crowd that had been queuing outside had long since dispersed, knowing they wouldn't get any food today, leaving only a few scattered customers and passersby who were willing to go hungry just to eat some melons.

Lin Ping tensed up. He had only just recovered from the shock. Someone really dared to target the Lin family's children in Lanyu City.

He quickly moved and helped Lin Zaicheng up from the pile of broken wooden frames.

Overall, I felt relieved.

Whether it was because the other party showed mercy or because their strength was limited, Bai Qing'er and the others, unlike the unfamiliar Lin Ping, clearly knew that Gu Yun had already let Hai go.

Lin Zaicheng only had a few minor fractures and some superficial injuries. For cultivators like him, taking some special medicine would allow him to recover in two or three days.

Even so, Lin Ping's expression was somewhat awkward, because he still couldn't see Gu Yun's movements clearly.

This means that Gu Yun is likely more capable than him.

Even if all else fails, one still has special and powerful martial arts techniques at one's disposal.

But there's nothing I can do; if Lin Zaicheng gets into trouble, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand Lin Tianyu's wrath.

"Uncle...cough cough, that damned lowly commoner...kill him! Cough cough...kill him!!"

Lin Zaicheng was helped up by Lin Ping. He staggered a few steps and leaned against the cracked wall behind him, barely supporting himself with his legs. He coughed up blood and glared angrily at Gu Yun.

Lin Ping naturally wouldn't act rashly.

“Friend, you’ve gone a bit too far. You need to consider the consequences when you do things. My Lin family isn’t so easy to bully.”

Lin Zaicheng instantly became displeased and said angrily.

"Uncle, why are you wasting your breath talking to him! He's at most in his early twenties, what are you cowering for?"

"Kill this lowly commoner right now! I've already crushed the jade talisman my father gave me. He'll be here soon. So what if he really is exceptionally talented and has already achieved the Overlord Body?"

Lin Ping was slightly angry. Such a large-scale conflict would inevitably escalate into a fight to the death. He really didn't want to take action before figuring out the background of the man in black.

But Lin Tianyu is about to arrive, and if he remains indifferent, what will Lin Tianyu think of him?

Lin Ping felt a pang of regret. Why did he have to return to Lanyu City to seek the support of his family and climb the social ladder? Wouldn't it have been better to work independently and steadily in the capital?

After a moment of silence, he could only helplessly take a few steps forward.

Gu Yun finally spoke at this moment. Although he had heard the previous conversation, he still wanted to confirm it.

"Is he Lin Zaicheng? The third son of the Lin family in Lanyu City?"

Bai Qing'er and Hongxiu were unaware of the previous conversation, so they were slightly moved when they heard Gu Yun's question.

Hongxiu could control the turmoil in her heart, but Bai Qing'er could not. She was filled with sadness and resentment, and blurted out her thoughts.

"Ah, so my brother is that..."

Gu Yun reached out and covered Bai Qing'er's mouth, signaling her not to speak.

Bai Qing'er obediently fell silent, gently moved her lips, her eyes began to redden slightly, and stared straight at Lin Zaicheng.

Lin Ping was taken aback. Why are you only asking now?

Immediately behind him came a burst of cruel and angry laughter.

"Haha, you only just realized that now?"

"You lowly people! It's too late!"

"Kneel down and beg for mercy now, and I might spare your life so you can watch how I humiliate that lowly waitress you want to protect."

"Oh, you didn't get a good look just now? The woman next to you is quite attractive."

"I'll make sure you get a real treat before you die, hahaha."

After delivering a barrage of attacks, Lin Zaicheng felt a surge of satisfaction.

Hongxiu clicked her tongue in disgust, secretly regretting that she couldn't kill him herself right now.

"Chubby!"

Gu Yun picked at his ear, and after confirming it, he had no more worries and spoke without any emotion.

"Are you finished?"

"Now that you've finished speaking, you can prepare to set off."

Lin Zaicheng laughed instead of getting angry, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Judging from the timing, his father was probably arriving soon.

Lin Zaicheng showed no fear whatsoever.

no way.

His father, a semi-saint, gave him a great deal of confidence.

"Good, good, very good. It's good that you still have such backbone in the future."
