Chapter 393 - Joining Forces to Bully

Feiying Castle’s Fortress Master’s face also darkened as he snapped, “Shaohong, sit down!

Mind your status.”

“That’s enough, there’s no need to blame Shaohong,” said Jiang Tianyou, waving his hand before turning his head to speak in a serious tone, “Ting’er, who is this gentleman?”

As the leader of the clan, Jiang Tianyou’s attitude was still relatively mild.

“Father, his name is Lin Xuan, and he’s my savior!”

“Savior?”

The crowd was puzzled, and an elder quickly spoke up, “Yuting, you haven’t been deceived, have you?”

Jiang Yuting shook her head, “He truly is my savior, he saved An’an.”

An’an, of course, was the Five-Colored Peacock, Jiang Yuting’s treasure.

“An’an was injured, what happened?

Tell me everything.”

Jiang Tianyou’s brows furrowed once more, with too many unusual events occurring during this clan meeting.

“Father, you must have heard the roaring noise from the south of the city earlier, right?”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, the earlier rumbling sound indeed had startled them.

However, after their investigation, they found no clues.

“You were there at that time!” Jiang Tianyou’s expression changed.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze towards Jiang Yuting.

Jiang Yuting stuck out her tongue and then said, “At that time, An’an was very eager to go to that place, so I had to go check it out.”

“You child, always so worrisome, what if something had happened to you?

How would I explain to your mother?” Jiang Tianyou was agitated.

“Father, here I am, safe and sound,” continued Jiang Yuting.

“In that courtyard, there was a person in a Red Robe who lured us there.

There was also a Three-headed Strange Bird that wanted to eat An’an and other Demon Beasts.”

“Later, An’an was injured in the battle, and it was Mr.

Lin who stepped forward to treat and heal her,” Yuting rapidly recounted the whole event.

“Many thanks to Young Hero Lin for the rescue, I express my gratitude here,” said Jiang Tianyou.

“You’re too kind, Elder,” Lin Xuan replied with a smile.

Seeing that the Jiang Family’s attitude towards Lin Xuan was changing, Ying Shaohong’s heart blazed with anger, barely restraining himself from killing Lin Xuan with a palm strike.

Fortunately, Feiying Castle’s Fortress Master, Ying Tieshan, stopped him with a look.

However, Ying Shaohong’s sinister gaze made it clear that he would not let this matter rest.

“Bold boy, daring to compete with me for Yuting, no matter who you are, you’re dead meat,” Shaohong roared inwardly.

Lin Xuan used his Great Dragon Sword to extinguish the Purple Flames within the Five-Colored Peacock’s body and then used Elixir Pills to heal its injuries.

After the Five-Colored Peacock was out of mortal danger, he then followed Jiang Yuting here.

Besides, he had learned that Jiang Yuting was actually the daughter of the Jiang Clan’s Clan Leader, Jiang Tianyou, with a status and position even higher than he had imagined, which was very beneficial for his search for Jiang Sanfeng.

“Young Hero Lin, who’s your master, to be so adept in your skills?

I truly admire you,” Feiying Castle’s Fortress Master inquired.

His question was, of course, meant to probe into Lin Xuan’s background.

“I am but a humble man from a rural village, not worth mentioning,” Lin Xuan smiled, shaking his head.

“A rural villager?

Hmph, I think he’s just a country bumpkin who relied on dumb luck to heal the Five-Colored Peacock.

Do you think that’s enough to win Yuting’s affection?” Ying Shaohong snorted coldly.

There were also some elders within the Jiang Clan who looked towards Lin Xuan with very grim expressions; originally supportive of Ying Shaohong of Feiying Castle, Lin Xuan’s emergence had caused them considerable discomfort.

“Since Young Hero Lin has helped our clan, why not let him go to the accounting office to collect some Spirit Stones?

As a major force in Black Feather City, our Jiang Family can’t afford to slight others,” said a gaunt elder.

His name was Jiang Da, and he was inwardly very supportive of a marriage alliance between the Jiang Clan and Feiying Castle, hence he was hostile towards anyone approaching Jiang Yuting.

“Dad, I invited them here to watch the family clan competition,” Jiang Yuting coaxed.

“How will I manage if you do this?”

“Alright, alright, Young Hero Lin, please have a seat,” Jiang Tianyou had no choice but to agree to his daughter’s request.

“Clan Leader, you mustn’t!”

“We’ve invited prestigious families here.

How can someone from the sticks like him sit with these esteemed guests?” Jiang Da objected.

Lin Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly, disliking the old man who kept jumping out to obstruct him for the third time.

“He probably has connections with Feiying Castle.”

Lin Xuan’s soul was incredibly powerful, and with just a mere sensation of these people’s demeanors, he could guess the little schemes of Feiying Castle and those elders.

“Since some people are unwelcoming, I think I’ll pass, Yuting.

I’ll be going now.” Lin Xuan shrugged with a smile.

“Yuting is what you call her!” Ying Shaohong’s eyes blazed with fire, wishing he could kill Lin Xuan.

“Someone, give this Young Hero Lin three thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones!” Elder Jiang Da shouted loudly.

“No need!” Lin Xuan refused coldly, “I originally thought that the Jiang Clan was a distinguished family, but now it seems that your breadth of mind is so narrow, it’s laughable!”

“What did you say?” Jiang Da was anxious, “Young man, don’t think you can be presumptuous here just because you saved the Five-Colored Peacock!”

In an instant, a massive aura of pressure bore down on Lin Xuan.

“Is this how the Jiang Mansion treats its guests?” Lin Xuan laughed, not at all intimidated by the formidable pressure.

“Dad!” Jiang Yuting called out anxiously.

“Enough, stop!” Jiang Tianyou issued a cold command, silencing everyone.

“I understand where you’re coming from, but since Young Hero Lin did save An’an, what’s wrong with sitting down to watch a competition?”

The crowd was silent until Elder Jiang Da said slyly, “Since the Clan Leader has spoken, Young Hero Lin, please take a seat.”

Upon finishing speaking, he pointed to the seat at the very end.

That place was very secluded, it could hardly even be called a seat.

Lin Xuan’s face darkened slightly; clearly, the old man was being difficult and intended to make him withdraw.

“I didn’t come here to be slighted!

You want me to sit in such a place?” Lin Xuan laughed in anger.

“Boy, who do you think you are?

Allowing you to sit there is already showing you great face!” Ying Shaohong snorted coldly.

“Has the Jiang Mansion no one left?

Letting an outsider shout and boss around here,” Lin Xuan sneered.

The elders tensed, their hearts supporting Feiying Castle thus seeing nothing wrong with Ying Shaohong’s behavior.

However, to outsiders, it was quite inappropriate.

This was the Jiang Mansion, and moreover, a major Jiang Family assembly.

Ying Shaohong’s frequent loud shouting was certainly unfitting.

“Heh, the Jiang Family really doesn’t have anyone,” the red-haired Big Man sneered from the side.

“Shaohong, shut your mouth!” Ying Tieshan barked coldly.

“Kid, you’re looking for death.

Once you leave the Jiang Mansion, let’s see if you can still be so arrogant?” Ying Shaohong threatened.

Jiang Da also changed the subject: “If you don’t want to sit there, where do you want to sit?

We only have important figures here.

Do you think there’s a place for you?”

“Allowing you to sit there was already extremely courteous.”

“I won’t sit there; I will sit here instead.”

With that, Lin Xuan pointed towards Jiang Da’s seat.

“You dare!” Elder Jiang Da exploded with rage.
