Free Web NovelChapter 396: Chapter 396: Headache
"Lin Yun, my young friend, you just don’t know... Our Young Miss’s feelings for Luo Feng are... well... For years, men from Jincheng, and even from the Wuji Sect, have pursued her. But after all this time, she’s still alone. She never says it, but we all know that in her heart, she still loves Luo Feng," the already drunk Shi Wu mumbled to Lin Yun.
Listening to Shi Wu’s words, Lin Yun didn’t know what to make of the situation. Luo Feng was a philanderer, but such things weren’t taboo on the Celestial Spirit Continent. It was perfectly normal for a man to marry multiple women.
Besides, Luo Feng was genuinely sincere with each of his women, unlike other men. This was a point Lin Yun had to admire.
But then again, Mo Qingshui’s feelings for Luo Feng were truly admirable. What man in this world wouldn’t be moved by a woman with such devotion?
"Sigh..." Letting out a soft sigh, Lin Yun then called over a Maid and had her help Shi Wu to his room to rest.
Now that he knew about Luo Feng and Mo Qingshui, Lin Yun felt caught in a bind. When it came to matters of the heart, Lin Yun was a complete novice.
Although Lin Yun had Lan Xi and Lu Bingning, throughout their time together, neither of the two women had ever caused him any trouble, let alone this kind of romantic entanglement.
’This is like asking a warrior to do embroidery,’ Lin Yun thought helplessly. When it came to other matters, he had his methods, but with matters of the heart, he was completely in the dark, utterly clueless.
That night, Lin Yun was too tired to think much more about it. He had also drunk a fair bit, and his head felt groggy. Not long after lying down in bed, Lin Yun fell asleep.
Late that night, the Supreme Elder assigned to secretly protect Lin Yun was watching. He had been following Lin Yun from the shadows for days. Although the Mo Family had two ancestors who were also powerful experts of the Spirit Realm...
...however, those two were not in the Mo Family residence. They spent their years cultivating in the Wuji Sect and almost never returned. Therefore, the Mo Family had no idea of the Supreme Elder’s presence.
Hidden in the void, a smile touched the Supreme Elder’s lips. ’Good. The boy has an upright character; he’s passed the test. Now, I’d like to see how you resolve this matter between that rascal Luo Feng and that little slip of a girl, Mo Qingshui. Haha, interesting. This should be quite a show for this old man.’
Ever since Lin Yun had faced Mo Qingshui’s threats at the city gate and chosen not to betray Flawless Palace, this Supreme Elder had approved of him. The only reason he hadn’t revealed himself yet was because his mischievous side had gotten the better of him; he wanted to see how Lin Yun would handle the situation between Luo Feng and Mo Qingshui.
If Lin Yun knew that a Supreme Elder had been protecting him all this time, and then learned of the Elder’s gleeful desire to watch the drama unfold, he’d surely be angry enough to start cursing.
No wonder the Palace Master of Flawless Palace was someone like Luo Feng. It seemed the entire Flawless Palace, from the Supreme Elder down to the Palace Master, was full of oddballs. The term "mischievous old codger" couldn’t have been a more perfect description for this Supreme Elder.
The night passed without event. The next morning, when Lin Yun woke up, he found that a Maid had already prepared water for him to wash his face. After freshening up, Lin Yun began his daily cultivation.
It wasn’t just his Cultivation; Lin Yun never slacked on his Cultivation and Martial Skill either. After practicing all his Martial Skills, Lin Yun sat on a stone bench in the courtyard. At that moment, Shi Wu walked over.
"Brother Lin Yun, I had a bit too much to drink last night. Just pretend you didn’t hear anything I said." Perhaps remembering he’d said a lot of things he shouldn’t have, Shi Wu had rushed to find Lin Yun as soon as he woke up.
Seeing Shi Wu’s nervous expression, Lin Yun smiled faintly. "Big Brother Shi Wu, I drank too much last night too. I’ve forgotten everything that was said."
Hearing this, Shi Wu laughed heartily. "Haha, thanks. In that case, I won’t disturb you any longer, Brother Lin Yun. I have some things to attend to. We’ll have another good drink some other day." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
With that, Shi Wu strode out of the small courtyard.
Sitting alone on the stone bench, Lin Yun began to ponder how to get out of his current predicament.
Having learned the whole story, and adding his own speculation, Lin Yun could now be certain that Mo Qingshui didn’t actually hate him. Everything she was doing was just for Luo Feng’s sake.
Because Mo Qingshui loved Luo Feng too deeply, she could never let him go. This led to her wanting to use Lin Yun to get a little revenge on Luo Feng. To put it bluntly, it was all to vent a bit of her own resentment.
"Sigh, why did I have to be the one to deal with this romantic mess?" he sighed helplessly. After thinking it over and over, Lin Yun concluded that Luo Feng must have sent him here to resolve things between him and Mo Qingshui.
Lin Yun was thinking too highly of Luo Feng. It never occurred to him that Luo Feng had simply set him up.
Believing that Luo Feng had sent him to resolve the issue with Mo Qingshui, Lin Yun racked his brain and finally concluded that there were only two paths he could take.
The first path was to get Mo Qingshui to completely let go of Luo Feng. Without love, there would naturally be no hate, and then she would naturally stop holding him under house arrest.
However, this path was extremely difficult and not something that could be accomplished overnight. Lin Yun didn’t have that much time.
Just think about it: so many years had passed, and Mo Qingshui was still single. To put it bluntly, wasn’t it because she still loved Luo Feng? She hadn’t forgotten him after all these years; it was impossible for her to do so in a short time.
The first path was too difficult. The second, then, was to help Luo Feng and Mo Qingshui reconcile. To put it bluntly, Mo Qingshui’s love had turned to hate. As long as he could get them to bury the hatchet, the whole situation would resolve itself.
However, this path was also very difficult. First of all, he had no way of contacting Luo Feng right now. And even if he could, was Lin Yun supposed to tell Luo Feng to abandon his other women and marry Mo Qingshui?
That was obviously impossible. If Luo Feng had been willing to do that, he would have agreed from the very beginning, and none of this would have happened.
’What am I going to do? That lecher... why won’t he clean up his own romantic messes? Why did he have to send me to Jincheng?’ Unable to think of a solution, Lin Yun sighed and scratched his head in frustration.
Matters of the heart were what Lin Yun feared facing the most. Ask him to fight in a bloody battle, and he’d have no problem. But ask him to deal with this kind of emotional problem, and Lin Yun was completely at a loss.
Helpless, Lin Yun looked over at Little Ape, who was stuffing his face nearby. If you had to say who was happiest during this time, it was definitely Little Ape. The Mo Family provided him with tons of delicious food every day, to the point that the little guy didn’t even want to leave.
"Are you still eating? Don’t you realize we’re being held under house arrest?" Lin Yun said irritably.
Hearing this, Little Ape, who was gnawing on the leg of a Tier Four Demon Beast, mumbled with his mouth full, "Big Bro, I think it’s great here. Look, we get a Tier Four Demon Beast leg every day. If you ask me, we should just settle down here."
Little Ape’s reply nearly drove Lin Yun insane with anger. Here he was, worried sick, and this little brat was acting like whoever fed him was his master.
