Chapter 670 - 669: Two Jokers

Chapter 670: Chapter 669: Two Jokers

He had successfully won the battle. Though it had been arduous, the final outcome was good. After taking a relaxing bath, Lin Yun realized he hadn’t seen Xi Zijin and the other two. He asked the Grand Commander and learned that Xi Zijin was heavily injured and still unconscious.

Arriving at Xi Zijin’s room and seeing her lying on the bed, a look of heartache appeared in Lin Yun’s eyes.

’Silly girl, you pushed yourself too hard again,’ Lin Yun murmured softly to the unconscious Xi Zijin.

It wasn’t hard for Lin Yun to imagine why Xi Zijin was so grievously injured. She must have overexerted herself in the fight against Qing Zhu. Originally, when Lin Yun had left, he had told Xi Zijin that she only needed to hold Qing Zhu back.

But it seemed this woman hadn’t listened to him. Instead, she had gone head-to-head with Qing Zhu in a brutal fight.

Lin Yun sat in Xi Zijin’s room for about an hour. Since he was also injured, he eventually left and returned to his own room to cultivate and heal.

「Three days later」

Lin Yun’s injuries had mostly healed. Over these three days, he visited Xi Zijin’s room every day. Meanwhile, Little Ape and Black-striped Tiger were also almost fully recovered.

Little Ape, in particular, healed completely in just two days—and this was without any Healing Elixirs. It was a testament to just how freakish his regenerative ability was.

As far as Lin Yun knew, Little Ape was likely the only one whose recovery ability was more formidable than his own.

During the three days Lin Yun spent recuperating, Qing Zhu, who had returned to Divine Celestial City, made no unusual moves. He issued no further orders, merely telling the Grand Commander of the Divine Palace to stand down.

Sitting alone in the newly built grand hall of Divine Celestial City, Qing Zhu’s face showed no sign of frustration from his defeat. He looked no different than usual.

Holding a cup of Cyan Wine, he took a small sip. A smile crept onto his face as he murmured to himself.

’Lin Yun, since you want the treasure from the ruins, I’ll let you have it. But I hope you don’t regret it later, because our real battlefield begins once we leave this place.’

It was unclear what Qing Zhu meant. Of course, Lin Yun wasn’t there to hear him anyway.

With the Divine Palace making no moves, Lin Yun and the people of the Demon Palace naturally took the opportunity to rest. Three days passed without Lin Yun seeing the Monk and Daoist, but early one morning, the two of them suddenly appeared and sought him out of their own accord.

The moment he saw Lin Yun, before the three of them could even sit down, the Monk spoke with a wronged expression, "Young Master Lin, I’ve really put my own savings on the line this time! You have to keep your promise about the treasure from the ruins."

At first, Lin Yun didn’t know what was wrong with the Monk. But after hearing the Daoist’s explanation, he had a sudden realization. It was about the Sky Net Life-extending Pill the Monk had given Xi Zijin.

Lin Yun knew of the Sky Net Life-extending Pill; it was indeed extraordinarily valuable. For a notorious penny-pincher like the Monk to give one to Xi Zijin... it seemed he did have a bit of a conscience after all.

Looking at the Monk and Daoist, Lin Yun smiled. "Alright, I’ll definitely do what I promised you. Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my word about the treasure from the ruins."

After getting Lin Yun’s reassurance, the Monk’s expression finally improved. However, seeing that the two of them showed no intention of leaving after discussing the matter, Lin Yun guessed they must have something else to say.

As expected, the Monk and Daoist looked at Lin Yun, hesitant to speak. Seeing them like this, Lin Yun said with a smile, "If you two have something to say, just say it."

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, the Monk finally stammered, "Young Master Lin... it’s like this... the two of us..."

After hearing what the Monk said, Lin Yun, who had been smiling just a moment ago, suddenly shot to his feet. He glared at the two of them and roared, "What did you say? You got involved with the Second Commander’s wife again?"

These two idiots. Lin Yun knew that as soon as they had nothing to do, they would absolutely stir up some trouble. They hadn’t learned a single lesson from the last incident with the Second Commander. How long had it been, and they were at it again?

That wasn’t even the crucial part. The most important thing was that they had been caught in the act by the Second Commander again.

Lin Yun was simply speechless with these two. They had no idea what right and wrong were, much less how to correct their mistakes.

Seeing Lin Yun’s grim expression, the Daoist tried to explain from the side, "Young Master Lin, didn’t the Second Commander already divorce his wife? The Monk and I just happened to run into her here this time, so we thought..."

"You thought what? You thought since you ran into her, you’d rekindle an old flame?" Lin Yun cut the Daoist off irritably before he could finish.

Lin Yun couldn’t believe it. These two guys actually dared to get entangled with the Second Commander’s wife again, and they were even caught in the act by him a second time. These two were audaciously lecherous.

"Do you two have any idea why the Second Commander divorced his wife?" Lin Yun asked irritably, glaring at them.

Hearing Lin Yun’s question, the two of them nodded in unison. Seeing this, Lin Yun roared, "You knew, and you still couldn’t control what’s in your pants?"

The only reason the Second Commander had divorced his wife was entirely a matter of saving face. If he hadn’t, what would the Demon Palace Warriors under him say about their Second Commander in the future?

In truth, even though the Second Commander had divorced his wife, the two had never actually separated. The divorce was purely for appearances.

And yet, this time, the Monk and Daoist had another affair with the Second Commander’s wife and were caught in the act by him again. Putting everything else aside and putting yourself in his shoes, anyone in the Second Commander’s position would probably want to fight the Monk and Daoist to the death.

Being cuckolded by the same men twice in a row... what even was that...?

"Get out, get out, get out! You solve the mess you made yourselves. I can’t help you." Wasting no more time on them, Lin Yun directly threw the two of them out of his room.

After being thrown out by Lin Yun, the Monk and Daoist shouted from the doorway.

"Young Master Lin, we were just careless for a moment!"

"Young Master Lin, you have to help us!"

Hearing their shouts, Lin Yun had no intention of paying them any mind. ’Careless for a moment? How could you be "careless for a moment" about something like this?’

’Were you being "careless for a moment" when you were taking her clothes off? Were you still being "careless for a moment" when you climbed into bed? Even so, when you were in the middle of the act, were you still being "careless for a moment"?’

It was a complete load of crap. Lin Yun had no intention of getting involved in this matter. He was utterly speechless at these two audaciously lecherous bastards and held no hope that they would ever change.

This time, no matter what happened to them, Lin Yun wouldn’t lift a finger.
