Chapter 2217 - The Second Patriarch’s Return

“You really were bullied so much. However, this is the way of the world, understand? For those like us that weren’t born into the elite, our role in life is to work like dogs for the heirs. Yet you dared fight back? Who can you blame for the price you have to pay?” Lin Wuxing could no longer be bothered wasting any more words.

However, he didn’t notice Xiaogui relaxing and releasing a pent-up breath. She had accomplished her goal: Lin Wuxing had personally said his client was Lin Jianjia. The evidence was ironclad now.

Lin Wuxing wasn’t even aware there was a problem; he had no way to expect that Lin Xiao was right behind him, nor that Lin Jianjia and Lin Xiaoyun’s conversation had been eavesdropped upon.

Yin Chen’s abilities were unfathomable to all!

“Lass, pick a good womb to reincarnate into in your next life,” Lin Wuxing coldly chuckled and his sword fell without hesitation. To him, it was just the end of another mission. After this, he would bring Lin Xiaogui’s corpse to Lin Jianjia and exchange it for a handsome sum of money.

“Alright.” Xiaogui could already feel a stinging pain on her head, but she still spoke calmly.

Lin Wuxing was still grinning, but his expression had turned stiff. He could no longer move. Only a cosmic cartographer’s order could manhandle him this way! “Who—” He turned his head with great difficulty. It hadn’t completely turned when an aged hand grabbed his neck. All of his cosmoforce dispersed and a black chain spread out from that hand to wrap around his body.

“Your second patriarch,” the person behind him said.

“Oh.” Lin Wuxing’s expression changed as he fell into despair.

Xiaogui was finally completely relaxed. Her experience was almost like rebirth, with her previous life now over.

“Good job, Xiaogui. Let’s go to the council hall now,” Lin Xiao said.

“Yes.” Xiaogui stood up. She knew what she had to do now; it would be her revenge!

……

Tianming’s group was waiting back at the battlefield. Many from the second branch were still sticking around as well. Actually, the second branch had been out of the Lin Clan’s limelight for so long that they cherished the opportunity to chat with others.

However, someone still asked, “Was there something urgent for Second Patriarch to leave first?”

“Second Patriarch went to save someone. Wait here, everyone. We’re about to give you all a good show.” Dongshen Yue was willing to say that, as Yin Chen had already communicated the mission’s success to her.

“Xiaogui’s perfectly identified the client.” Dongshen Yue was overjoyed.

“The other party was also very helpful, and Lin Jianjia was entirely too arrogant.” Tianming was in disbelief. Killing someone was one thing, but to request that the killer expose your identity and want to see the corpse after? How big was the conflict, anyway? This Lin Jianjia was on another level from Lin Xiaopo and Lin Jianchen in savagery.

“What do you mean?”

“The successor override is over, so what show is left?”

Dongshen Yue’s words made the people that were about to leave all excitedly stay behind.

“Granny, can you tell us what’s going on?”

“Don’t be anxious, everyone. You’ll know soon. The matter has to do with Lin Xiaoyun and his daughter, Lin Jianjia.” Dongshen Yue smiled and looked in Lin Xiaoyun’s direction.

Lin Xiaoyun and Lin Jianjia had just left and were waiting for Lin Wuxing’s news.

“Don’t be worried, Dad. It’s a ridiculously easy mission for an assassin at the peak of the Order stage to accomplish. He probably hasn’t sent the information as he’s busy recording Lin Xiaogui’s death for me,” Lin Jianjia sneered. She was finally in a good mood.

“You wanted him to record it? Are you mad? What if....” Lin Xiaoyun looked at her with disbelief before shaking his head and sighing. “Your mom has spoiled you rotten!” It was natural for her to be so spoiled after how difficult it was to give birth to a child with six-six talent.

“What what if? It’s just a rat, who’d care about it?” Lin Jianjia rolled her eyes.

As they walked, Dongshen Yue’s words suddenly reached them, stabbing at their hearts.

“Dad, what’s she mean by that? That old hag seemed to have mentioned us.”

Lin Xiaoyun’s face completely changed. Earlier, he had only been worried, but hadn’t felt that things were too risky. However, now he abruptly turned around with his heart pounding to see Dongshen Yue shooting him a slight smile. His heart fell and he quickly used a transmission stone to summon Lin Jie.

“What’s the matter, Dad?”

“Shut up!”

Lin Jianjia had never expected her father who doted on her so much would suddenly shout at her. He even raised his hand as if he wanted to slap her.

“Why’re you acting so strange?” She still didn’t think the assassination had anywhere it could go wrong. No one cared about a street rat like Xiaogui. She had tormented her for so long, which had been one of her joys growing up. In order to deal with her, she had even especially picked a member of the Flower of Ebony that was from the Lin Clan and could enter the Infinitum Swordsea. It was more than that bitch deserved!

“What?” Lin Jianjia asked again. However, she didn’t notice that her heart had started pounding.

……

“What’s going on?” The number of people at the battlefield increased instead of decreasing. Those who had just left had been called back by their friends to watch the show.

Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue didn’t make them wait long as, soon, Lin Xiao returned, carrying someone dressed in the Flower of Ebony’s uniform as well as Xiaogui.
