Chapter 203 Ch 203: Dong Yexu
Seeing Gu Xingyue wants to learn a movement skill, Mr. Lin and Po Kehua started looking around.
“This <One Step> is not bad, it is balanced in all aspects. When necessary, it can be used instantly. It suits you the most.”
After a while, Mr. Lin pointed at a manual and spoke.
Gu Xingyue looked at it and said, “It is indeed perfect for me, but its price is really expensive. It’s actually worth 40 Energy Stones. This price is almost enough to buy that Void Pentertaing Ship we saw before coming to this Land.”
Mr. Lin shook his head and spoke, “Don’t worry about money. In order to increase your strength, I’ll buy it for you no matter how expensive it is.”
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Mr. Lin chose this movement skill called <One Step> and chose to buy it.
Po Kehua saw Mr. Lin holding the <One Step> manual in his hand, and he asked in surprise, “Mr. Lin, do you want to buy this Movement Skill?”
This surprised him. He thought that Mr. Lin’s background was ordinary, and Mr. Lin could not afford a skill worth 40 Energy Stones.
Energy Stones are so rare that even his big Po Family only has about 10 of them. But this Mr. Lin chose to buy a skill worth 40 Energy Stones. It was shocking even to him.
Just as Mr. Lin was about to say yes, an ear-piercing voice suddenly sounded, “Can you guys afford it? Energy Stones are not ordinary rocks that could be found everywhere.”
Mr. Lin frowned slightly and looked over. The one who spoke was a man in silk clothes, who was in his late twenties. He wore armor that was also a Soulbound Treasure. The sword hanging down his waist was a Soulbound Weapon as well. Those who could wear such treasures are obviously all rich people.
There were also two subordinates following behind him.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Mr. Lin and others, very arrogant.
Mr. Lin glanced at the three of them. This silk-clothed man’s strength was average, he was only at the Mid Stage of Chaos Dust Realm. The two bodyguards behind him were not bad, they were two Late Chaos Dust Realm warriors. Two Late Chaos Dust Realm warriors being his bodyguards meant that his identity was not ordinary.
Po Kehua and others did not want to have any conflict with this silk-clothed man. Po Kehua said to Mr. Lin, “Mr. Lin, Let’s go.”
“Okay.” Mr. Lin also did not want to easily cause unnecessary trouble.
However, Mr. Lin and the others avoided them which made the silk-clothed man feel uncomfortable. He felt like he was being ignored. Especially when he saw Mr. Lin take away the manual of <One Step>, the silk-clothed man felt as if he had been humiliated.
This silk-clothed man had just mocked Mr. Lin and the others for not being able to afford the <One Step>, but now Mr. Lin wanted to buy this skill. This naturally made the silk-clothed man very unhappy.
He moved his body and stood in front of Mr. Lin, looked at Mr. Lin with a playful look, and said, “It seems that I have misjudged you. Can you really afford it?”
โ [A\N]: Although this silk-clothed man might seem useless, he has a very important role to play. Don’t think this chapter is a filler just because of how clichรฉ it is going. โฃ
Mr. Lin frowned. He did not want to cause trouble, but that person seemed to be unwilling to let him go.
“It has nothing to do with you whether we buy this skill or not. Why do you care about other people’s business?” Gu Xingyue said unhappily.
“I just like to meddle in other people’s business. What’s wrong?” The silk-clothed man snorted arrogantly. It was as if it really doesn’t matter to him no matter whom he offend. He did not seem to put anything in his eyes.
Gu Xingyue snorted angrily at the silk-clothed man, “Don’t you know? If you interfere in other people’s business, you may not live long!”
The silk-clothed man’s face darkened. Gu Xingyue’s words obviously provoked him. He spoke coldly, “Little girl, do you believe that I will cut off your tongue?”
“Oh? Do you really think so? Idiot!” Although Gu Xingyue might be a beautiful young girl, her character was quite cold. Her words were very sharp. “I really don’t know where you, a Mid Chaos Dust Realm warrior, got your confidence from. Is it just because you have two Late Chaos Dust Realm warrior bodyguards?”
“You are weak, you can’t see through our strength. Didn’t you notice that the three of us are all Chaos Spirit Realm warriors? Any one of us can easily defeat the three of you.”
The silk-clothed man was stunned when he heard Gu Xingyue this time. He looked at his two bodyguards in disbelief. He wanted to get their consent before taking another step. One of his bodyguards on his left said, “Young master, these people are not to be trifled with. These three people indeed have an aura that we can’t see through. They are very likely Chaos Spirit Realm warriors.”
The silk-clothed man suddenly had the urge to cough up blood. What Gu Xingyue said was actually true.
He had been living a pampered life since he was young. He was born into an extremely rich family and his family was even connected to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. He, as the youngest son of Dong Family, was pampered all his life.
Even though he was already more than two hundred years old, he could only cultivate to the Mid Stage of Chaos Dust Realm. This shows his lack of talent. Because of his weak talent, he was not that well accepted in his family, however, because he was the youngest son of the Dong Family’s head, he lived a very peaceful and thrifty life, without concern for the world.
No matter whom he offended, he never cared. It is because his family often takes care of him from the shadows, protecting him from the rain and storm of the outside world, and the calamity he might face because of his actions.
Even now, when Gu Xingyue revealed their cultivation bases, he did not care. However, just as he wanted to say something, he felt a monstrous aura pressing on him. He looked at Mr. Ling who seemed to be a sword-wielding demon, coldly looking at him with blood-red eyes. He was scared shitlessly. And this is the reason why, instead of saying anything carelessly, he chose to look at his bodyguards for their advice.
In the end, he struggled in his heart. He thought for a long time and then, he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes strangely turned red. he spoke again, “So what? Do you know who I am? I am Dong Yexu of the Dong Family. You should be afraid of me because if you dare offend me, you might never leave this place alive.”
Dong Yexu could be said to be a typical rich young master at this moment. He liked to show off in front of others. He liked to get a sense of accomplishment and pleasure from other people’s surprise, admiration, envy, and even fear. All along, bullying others had become his greatest enjoyment.
He didn’t care if others were angry or unhappy. He was the young master of the Dong Family. How many people would dare to provoke him?
However, this time, the effect didn’t seem to be very good, because Mr. Lin and Gu Xingyue didn’t have any reaction. On the other hand, Po Kehua’s face darkened, and their expressions became very serious.
“Is the Dong Family really scary? Why don’t I feel anything? You are really an idiot.” Gu Xingyue’s words were shocking, causing Dong Yexu to nearly vomit out a mouthful of blood.
Was there anyone in Star Forest Region who didn’t know about the Dong Family?
Although the weakest, Dong Family is still an overlord force after all. ๐ฐ๐ฃ๐.๐ค๐๐ฎ
Mr. Lin knew about the Dong Family. It was one of the overlord forces in the Star Forest Region, but its reputation was far inferior to other forces. It was at the bottom of the overlord forces.
However, just as Dong Yexu was thinking, even if they were the weakest, they were still one of the overlord forces. Not many people dared to provoke them. No wonder Dong Yexu dared to be so impudent in Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
Po Kehua pulled Mr. Lin and said in a low voice, “I have long heard about this Dong Yexu of the Dong Family. He is simply a scourge of the region. His favorite thing to do is to bully the common people. Today, we are unlucky we ran into him here. Mr. Lin, let’s just bear with it. Tell Gu Xingyue not to say anymore. It will be bad if we really cause some big trouble.”
“Let’s go.” Although Mr. Lin seemed not to care, he still nodded and spoke to Gu Xingyue.
