Chapter 137: The Valiant Liao Yun (Part 3)
In a little different location, but not far from the confrontation between Liao Yun and Lin Linyi, Mingyue was in leisure while mounting on her beloved hornless white deer, Xiao Wu.
Unlike the crowds in front of her, she had an indifference countenance, as if she had no relationship with the conflict. Only when Liao Yun was annoyed, a slight smirk appeared on her face.
"Yueyue, are you enjoying that kind of thing?" An innocent voice resounded in her head, but Mingyue knew that it was Xiao Wu's voice.
"Of course not. But looking at little Yun, it is not bad."
As a pair of white paper, both Fu Tao and Liao Yun was needed to experience many things, included every bad experience that happened right in front of their eyes.
They hadn't seen the real world, the real conflict, and the ugliness of everything.
It was something that couldn't be changed, something fundamental of the world, no, the fundamental of the human's heart.
The discrepancy between the strong and the weak, between the rich and the poor, between the crafty and the naïve, between the brilliant and the clumsy, between the good and the evil. All of it was part of humanity, every living being.
Were they unnecessary? There was no the right or the wrong answer.
No, there was no the absolute right and the absolute wrong.
Then, what was right and what was wrong?
Who knew about it?
What one had to do to pick the right thing? All returned to one's heart.
When one day you could say that it was right, and far in the future, you didn't change your mind, then it was right. And vice versa.
She only wished that little Yun and smelly tofu would become someone like that. She knew that she was unable to be with them forever, thus it could be considered as a gift from her.
As some sayings, Walking a hundred miles was better than listening to some random ramblings.
Never heard of it? You heard it just now.
While Mingyue was keeping her attention toward Liao Yun, a faint shadow emerged in front of her, on Xiao Wu's neck.
With a smile pasted on her face, Mingyue greeted Xiao Jing, "How is it, Xiao Jing? Is everything okay?"
After these four years, Xiao Jing grew similar to a real cat. She would enjoy licking her paw every now and then.
Staring back at Mingyue, Xiao Jing replied with a lazy tone, "Un. I just clean some random rat. No one escape. But don't worry, I didn't touch the one that stayed here to enjoy the commotion."
Xiao Jing's affirmation made Mingyue wondered of her good luck.
Previously, Mingyue asked Xiao Jing to tail the bunch of spies and find out the people behind them. And indeed, some of the spies came from the Lin Family.
And by using this incident, Mingyue finally uncovered about the conflict in each of the four pillars.
It sounded cool, the four pillars of the Black Iron City. But the truth? It was all about the Elemental Warriors, nothing more.
Each pillar had their own internal conflict, and the amusing one was the Lin Family. In fact, the Lin Family had some system that was a little similar to some clan's system in her previous life.
Inner family and outer family.
To sum it up, the inner family was the gathering of the main family, the talented member of the Lin family, and a symbol of the glory.
While the outer family was something similar to an outcast, an additional number for family, a mere subordinates for those of the inner family.
But, the whole Lin Family was fragmented into a few smaller faction, based on their Young Master, and they fought with each other for the sake of their own patriarch's candidate.
That was the main reason why the Lin Family couldn't take over the role of the City Governor. Even though its foundation was deep-rooted in the Black Iron City, each member had their own agenda.
For example, Lin Linyi.
Even though he was only an outer family of the Lin Family, he had pledged his allegiance toward the youngest Young Master, Lin Huangshu, as a part of Lin Huangshu's faction.
Even though he was part of Lin Huangshu's faction, it was a mere little faction, unlike the patriarch faction, Lin Pinghan's faction.
If Lin Linyi was able to force Fu Tao to join the Lin Family, no, Lin Pinghan's faction, then it would be a great service not only for the Lin Family, but also for Lin Pinghan's faction.
In this way, he was able to join Lin Pinghan's faction, the main and the biggest faction in the Lin Family.
If. . .
Of course, it was talking about if.
Because, it was a good plan to play hostage with Fu Tao, especially when Liao Yun was concerned.
If. . .
If again, if Liao Yun was weak.
Unfortunately, there was no if.
Seeing the raging wind which was similar to a small typhoon, Mingyue's expression brightened while her crystal eyes were sparkling.
"Finally. . . Breakthrough. . ."
She was gladdened by this view.
Unlike Fu Tao, Liao Yun was a rare genius from the Wind Chasing Tribe. She was strong, very strong. Achieving acknowledgement from three Sacred Totems, such a feat was enough for her to take over the tribe leader's position.
But it was a pity because of her wild nature and excessive pampering from her father was a big drawback.
She was chained down, her mentality was unable to keep up her raw strength. Thus, her mind restrained her body's growth.
Indeed, her growth was stagnated.
No one knew, no one realized it.
No one could do anything to Liao Yun, except Mingyue.
By smashing a harsh and cruel reality in front of Liao Yun, Liao Yun would be forced to choose.
And her choice was the best one.
Releasing the shackles in her unconscious mind, the shackles on her body was the same, resulting in a massive breakthrough.
Affecting the element in her surroundings, shrouding her whole body with Elemental, it was the sign of the proper Elemental Warrior.
And her main element was wind, like her tribe, Wind Chasing Tribe.
Unbounded by the rules, moved freely without restraint, not caring whether it was good or evil, believe in one's heart.
It was the perfect description for Liao Yun.
…
Lin Yinyi fell on his butt, but he didn't realize it. All of his attention was nailed toward the figure in front of him.
[Im- impossible!] Sweats were racing down from his head, drenched all of his body in sweats. A faint yellowish substance also appeared from between of his legs.
But he didn't realize it.
The thing he knew was only one.
Doom.
"Wa- wait! As, as expected of Mister Fu Tao's companion, hahahaha! Great, really great! I will be glad to extend my invitation toward young miss."
Not realizing the weird and awkward smile pasted on his face, he dragged his body backwards slowly, but how could Liao Yun miss such tiny detail?
Hence, Liao Yun glared at Lin Linyi, "Stay, or say goodbye to your head."
"Ba- bu, but- "
Lin Linyi knew that it was his doom.
Even though the pair tin man and the cloaked man was his personal bodyguard, they were not an opponent of the scary woman in front of him. While the tin man was at most Low Grade Battle Warrior, the cloaked man was only a Grade 1 Spell User.
Both were strong, but they couldn't be compared with the woman in front of her.
Fight using number? It was feasible. But what if Fu Tao made a move? Who would stop him? It was enough to fight an expert, how about two?
Even if he didn't say anything, the tin man and the cloaked man understood it the best since they bore the direct brunt of the earlier pressure.
There was only one thing if they went against Liao Yun, death. There was no exception.
And they believed that their life was not worth to sacrifice for a mere outer Lin Family.
Hence, the best thing they could do was,
"Miss expert!" both of them kneeled and kowtowed, losing their previous arrogance and all meek in front of Liao Yun. "We- we, we are merely doing our job for this bastard of Lin Family! We, we are here only for the money! For the gold! Please be magnanimous and maim the main culprit instead of innocent people!"
"That's right! We are only a paid thugs for him! Nothing more, only less!"
Lin Linyi's expression grew unsightly by the sudden betrayal of his two personal bodyguards.
But, no one cared about Lin Linyi.
That's right! It was clear that Lin Linyi was the one taunting this lady expert! Not us! We are not related and this bastard Lin Linyi pulled us in this messy pool!
As many were planning to follow the tin man and the cloaked man, Liao Yun disappeared from her spot. She leapt forward, toward the all meek tin man.
Swiiiish. . .
A straight jab, but the tin man avoided the jab by rolling on the ground. His head almost became the first victim. It was an unsightly view, but he had no pride to care about. After all, one's life was the most important.
"FIGHT OR DIE!" Liao Yun stopped and crackled her fist.
She had no interest in chasing some scattered chickens, but she was fine if all of her targets became her free punchbag.
Seeing that, all the Lin Family's people thought that it was useless. Pleading was not the salvation for them. If it was like that, it was better to fight and found the sliver chance to stay alive.
With one weapon raised, another and another weapon was raised, and it scared the commoners, creating some chaos in the crowds.
Fortunately, the people of the Lin Family was in the middle of the crowds itself.
The tin man took a step forward and circulated the Elemental on his armour, while the cloaked man took out some kind of wooden rod.
Seeing the surroundings were all spirited and prepared their weapon, Liao Yun peeked at Fu Tao and ordered, "Don't disturb me."
And with that, she swept her fiery glance filled with his battling intent while taunting, "COME AT ME TOGETHER!"
