The Prodigies War-Novel

Chapter 352 Bring Humiliation Upon Yourself

The jeweled carriage came to a halt.

As Lin Xun got off the carriage, a towering building not too far away caught his attention.

It was the residence of the North Light Lin Clan.

Lin Zhong stepped forward and exchanged a few words with the servant guarding the residence entrance. Soon, Lin Dahong hurriedly darted out of the residence.

He smiled and gave a cupped fist salute. “Please forgive me for not coming out to welcome you. Please come with me.”

He quickly invited Lin Xun inside.

Lin Xun smiled and followed him.

Lin Zhong and Third Old Zhu shadowed him closely like loyal servants.

However, just as Lin Xun stepped into the residence and before he could look around, a squeaky scream rang out.

“That kid dares to come here? Haha, he’s brave. Where is he now?”

Before the voice died away, a young master dressed in a gold robe with a jade fan came over with a threatening-looking group of men and women behind him.

The golden-robed young master immediately pinned a glare at Lin Xun and smiled coldly. “You’re Lin Xun? You want to challenge Big Brother Xuefeng. You’re too arrogant.”

“That guy is Lin Xun? He doesn’t seem to be anything special.”

“He’s only in his teens. I don’t know where he got the confidence to take over Mind Cleansing Peak.”

The group of men and women behind the golden-robed man all rudely criticized Lin Xun without holding back.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but frown and looked at Lin Dahong. Just as they stepped into the entrance of North Light Lin Clan, a group of youngsters had aggressively blocked their path.

Lin Dahong’s face darkened as he scolded, “Xuedong! Don’t be rude! Lin Xun is a distinguished guest of our North Light Lin Clan. Move out of the way. We have an important matter to attend to!”

The golden-robed young master refused to budge and said contemptuously, “Uncle Dahong, of course, we know Lin Xun is a guest, but he looks so plain. How is he qualified to challenge Big Brother Xuefeng?”

“Yes, what kind of status does Big Brother Xuefeng have? How can anyone challenge him?”

The other youngsters echoed.

Lin Dahong’s face grew increasingly dark. “If you don’t move aside, don’t blame me for punishing you according to the rules of the clan!”

He never expected such an incident to happen after he welcomed Lin Xun inside. It would be very troublesome if Lin Xun misunderstood.

Immediately, the young men and women curbed their arrogant behavior, but the golden-robed young master straightened his neck and shouted out loud, “Uncle Dahong, I didn’t come to create trouble but if that kid can get past me then we will move aside for him. Otherwise, we won’t let him challenge Big Brother Xuefeng even if you punish us according to the rules of the clan!”

“You…” Lin Dahong’s face was livid, but there was nothing he could do.

The golden-robed young master was called Lin Xuedong and was Lin Xuefeng’s younger brother and the son of Lin Huaiyuan, the head of the North Light Lin Clan.

Given his identity, Lin Dahong couldn’t do anything to him.

Lin Xuedong turned his gaze to Lin Xun and smiled provocatively. “Lin Xun, if you have the guts then don’t make things difficult for Uncle Dahong. Do you dare to fight against me first?”

All the youngsters were stirred up.

“If you’re a man then take the fight!”

”Hey, I think he’s scared. Wasn’t there a rumor in the city a while ago that he’s the weakest head of a clan in the Forbidden City?”

“Head of an aristocratic clan? Is he worthy of that title? Without our consent, he can never rightfully inherit Mind Cleansing Peak!”

Lin Xun coldly watched on. It was obvious that many people didn’t like him coming to the North Light Lin Clan.

Moreover, many opposed his duel with Lin Xuefeng.

“Lin Xun, this…”

Just as Lin Dahong was about to explain, Lin Xun shook his head like he didn’t care. “Third Old Zhu, can you lead the way for us?”

This is bad!

Lin Dahong trembled inwardly, afraid of what would happen. He didn’t expect Lin Xun to send out a terrifying figure like Third Old Zhu without uttering a word.

When they were on Mind Cleansing Peak, Third Old Zhu had forced Xiao Fengru and the others to kneel with his murderous intent alone!

His ability was terrifyingly shocking.

What if Third Old Zhu acted with murderous intent?

However, it was too late for Lin Dahong to stop him.

Third Old Zhu’s mighty figure had marched forward like an iron tower, his unkempt face devoid of expression.

“Lin Xun, you…”

Lin Xuedong fumed, thinking that Lin Xun was shameless and had no backbone to send out a servant.

However, just as he opened his mouth, he was hurled across the air and slammed to the ground like a giant hand had picked him up.

He couldn’t get back up regardless of how he struggled.

Not only Lin Xuedong, but the other youngsters were also sent flying and scattered across the ground.

Let alone struggle, they couldn’t even scream out loud. They looked incredibly tragic like they had been imprisoned on the spot.

Third Old Zhu hadn’t uttered a single word or moved a finger. He just continued to march forward in a mighty and invincible manner.

“Clan Uncle, let’s go.” Lin Xun stepped forward with a smile.

The corners of Lin Dahong’s lips twitched violently. He let out a sigh and followed them. He was just glad that Third Old Zhu hadn’t done anything. Otherwise, the consequences would have been serious.

“Young Master is very kind. According to the rules of the clan, anyone who dares challenge the authority of the clan leader will suffer a fate ten times worse than that,” Lin Zhong reminded him.

Lin Dahong shuddered and smiled wryly. Whom could he blame?

“Lin Xun, you are so despicable! A despicable person like you isn’t worthy to be in charge of Mind Cleansing Peak!”

Watching Lin Xun walk further and further away, Lin Xuedong somehow gathered the strength to let out a vicious cry despite not being able to rise from the ground.

Lin Xun paused his footsteps and turned around with a smile. “Whether you like it or not, I am now in charge of Mind Cleansing Peak. I can forgive you for your ignorance just now, but if you provoke me once more, you might not be able to bear the consequences. Remember, it mustn’t happen again.”

He walked away in huge strides.

“You…” Lin Xuedong gritted his teeth, his expression changing indefinitely.

That kid has just come to the North Light Lin Clan but he didn’t act humbly and instead showed such a tough attitude. He is too arrogant!

The other youngsters’ faces grew overcast.

They had planned to make things difficult for Lin Xun and make him know how powerful they were.

Who would have thought that Lin Xun had completely disregarded them and just ordered someone to suppress them!?

……

The territory of the North Light Lin Clan was extremely huge, spanning tens of acres. Grand courtyards and beautiful pavilions stood in every corner, and the scenery was as stunning as a painting.

The North Light Lin Clan had enjoyed a very good life after moving away from Mind Cleansing Peak.

“Where are we going?” asked Lin Xun.

“The training grounds,” stated Lin Dahong. “Many people in the clan know you are coming today so they have been waiting there for a long time. The duel between you and Xuefeng will also take place there.”

Lin Xun nodded and suddenly asked, “Currently, many people in the North Light Lin Clan refuse to acknowledge my identity, is that right?”

Lin Dahong murmured inwardly. Not only are they refusing to acknowledge your identity, but they also hate the fact that they can’t seize power from your hands like the other three branches of the Lin Clan!

Of course, Lin Dahong couldn’t say that out loud. He just smiled helplessly and explained, “After all, you’re new here so it will be hard to make them obey you. But don’t worry. Since Patriarch North Light has arranged this opportunity for you, you may be able to change the clan members’ opinions of you if you win.”

Lin Xun could tell that Lin Dahong’s words were untruthful, but he didn’t expose him. Instead, he said aloud, “That’s good. To be honest, I only came to visit Fifth Granduncle.”

“Lin Xun, you have good intentions, but you have to win against Xuefeng first. You will have to depend on yourself and no outsiders can help you.” As he was speaking, he inadvertently glanced at Third Old Zhu.

He wasn’t optimistic about Lin Xun’s duel with Lin Xuefeng.

Although Lin Xun could tell what was on his mind, he didn’t expose him and just smiled.

Before long, another incident happened!

A man in a jade-colored robe blocked the path ahead and reprimanded Lin Dahong in the face, “Dahong, how can you be a clan uncle? How can you let outsiders bully the children of our clan?”

It seemed that the jade-robed man had already learned about what had happened to Lin Xuedong and other youngsters.

Before Lin Dahong could explain, the man in the jade-colored robe fixed Lin Xun with a cold look. “You’re Lin Xun? You are so young but so arrogant already! If you bow your head and apologize now, I will forgive you for your mistake. Otherwise, you are not welcome in the North Light Lin Clan!” His tone was aggressive and threatening.

Lin Xun scrunched his brows. “Clan Uncle, this is….?”

“Lin Daqian, according to the family line, he is your clan uncle,” Lin Dahong explained.

“Lin Xun, please don’t stir trouble again.”

It was unknown whether Lin Xun heard him but he calmly swept a glance over Lin Daqian and smiled. “Since Lin Xuedong and the others dared to provoke me, you must be the one instigating them, am I right?”

Lin Daqian’s expression altered subtly. “Junior, you won’t acknowledge your mistake and are accusing other people instead!”

Lin Xun ignored him and said, “Third Old Zhu.”

That name had almost become Lin Xun’s catchphrase. And every time, Lin Dahong shuddered with fear.

He cried out. “No! Don’t!”

With a whoosh, he stood in front of Third Old Zhu and yelled at Lin Daqian, “Brother Daqian, please move aside!”

“I…”

Lin Daqian wasn’t an idiot, so how could he not tell that Third Old Zhu was an extremely fierce and powerful character.

“Junior, just you wait!” Lin Daqian flung his sleeve and stormed off, looking livid.

As Lin Xun watched his figure disappear, he gently spat out five words. “You have brought humiliation upon yourself!”
