16. Chapter 16 No cure

It was already noon, and the waiting crowd was already a little impatient.

"It's time for the appointment, why haven't Xia Huang come yet? Could it be that he really ran away?"

"Tsk tsk, if Xia Huang escaped, the Ling family would be really disappointed. They worked hard to set up here for a long time but were released by someone... Hehe!"

The crowd was talking more and more, and they were no longer evasive to let the Ling family hear it as they did at the beginning. When the Ling family heard these comments that were obviously gloating, their faces were as dark as the bottom of the pot.

However, there are too many people talking about it, and it is difficult for them to teach a lesson. After all, they will still have to gain a foothold in Pingcheng in the future. If they offend all the residents of Pingcheng, it will be harmful but not beneficial to them.

"Father, then Xia Huang won't really escape, right?" Ling Wu, who was still covered with strips on his face, walked to his father's side and asked in a low voice.

"It should be impossible. If that kid was afraid of our Ling family, he could have accepted the help of that person at the beginning. As that person, our Ling family would never dare to make things difficult for him. His rejection of the help of that person means that he has full confidence in himself. Such a person should be unlikely to escape at the last minute." Ling Yuan said sure, but his worry on his expression betrayed him.

He brought everyone to Aung San yesterday and made arrangements with everyone to deal with Xia Huang. If Xia Huang didn't come, their arrangement would be in vain. You must know that once these things are arranged, they cannot be taken back.

More importantly, if Xia Huang really lets out their pigeons, then their Ling family will be completely lost. In the future, how will their Ling family gain a foothold in Pingcheng?

"Father... I have always wanted to ask, who is the one you are talking about? I asked my second brother, and he said he didn't know him either." Ling Wu asked the question that had troubled him for a long time.

"Yes! Father, who is that woman?" Ling Zhan also walked over.

Ling Wu's doubts were also Ling Zhan's doubts. Judging from their father's actions and attitudes that day, the woman's status must be extraordinary. But even if they think about it, they can't figure out who can have such an identity and status.

"You will naturally know the identity of that person in the future... Now, it's better not to know." Ling Yuan, the head of the Ling family, seemed to be quite afraid of the woman or the forces behind the woman. He even had some concerns about telling her identity to his son and did not dare to say it clearly.

When Ling Wu and Ling Zhan saw that their father had something to hide, they didn't ask. After all, that was not a big deal. The most important thing in front of him was Xia Huang who had not arrived for a long time!

"Noon is over! Is that kid really not coming?"

"It's really abominable! He dares to tease our Ling family!"

The onlookers finally lost their patience. They were just watching the fun. Now that no one of them comes, they would not stand here stupidly and bask in the sun.

"Let's go! Go home! It's boring, it's really boring! I didn't see anything, I ran so far in vain!"

"Xia Huang really let the pigeons of the Ling family go. The young man is really brave enough to do anything."

"The Ling family this time...hehe..."

Just as the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, a young voice suddenly came from not far away: "Who are you just talking about? Xia Huang?"

Everyone looked in the voice and saw a young man wearing a disadvantaged chain armor walking towards this side from another direction. It seemed that because he heard Xia Huang's name, the man's steps obviously accelerated a little, and soon he came to the dispersed crowd.

"Young man, are you here to watch the fun too? Let's go! Xia Huang won't come, this battle will not be fulfilled."

"War appointment? Whose appointment? Xia Huang?" The young man wearing a disadvantaged chain armor showed a look of surprise.

"Don't you know?"

The kind-hearted man patiently explained the cause and effect of the battle to the young man, and the man's face was filled with shock.

"So that's it... I've been leaving Pingcheng for half a month. No wonder I don't know the news... If this battle was made by Xia Huang, then he was not escaping the battle, but he couldn't come..."

This young man is Lin Xin who was helped by Xia Huang to obtain dew flowers!

Lin Xin said something amazing, and everyone present's eyes were all focused on him in an instant. At the same time, Lin Xin felt very uncomfortable when he was stared at by so many gazes, and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Young man, do you know Xia Huang? How do you know he can't come?" a curious person asked quickly.

The people from the Ling family were obviously more concerned about the clues brought by Lin Xin than those who watched the fun. Ling Yuan rushed to Lin Xin a few times and asked anxiously: "Where is Xia Huang now?"

"Abstract..." Lin Xin pointed down.

Ling Yuan was stunned at first, then furious: "Boy! You're playing tricks on me! You're looking for death!"

Just as Ling Yuan was about to slap the boy who was teasing him in front of him, a pleasant voice like a yellow oriole made him stop in the air before he could wave his raised hand.

"Master Ling, do you think our Lin family is easy to bully?"

Ling Yuan looked in the voice and saw Lin Xuan, the third lady of the Lin family, walking out of the crowd and approaching here step by step.

"I didn't expect that the third lady of the Lin family was also interested in joining in the fun. So for the sake of the third lady, I will spare the kid's life first. However, I don't guarantee whether he can return to Pingcheng safely." Ling Yuan smiled coldly.

Lin Xin, who saved his life, breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

As a disciple of the Lin family, he could not know the third lady of the Lin family. Seeing that the third lady made a sound to save his life, Lin Xin quickly knelt down on one knee in the direction of Lin Xuan: "I have met the third lady."

"No need to be polite." Lin Xuan helped Lin Xin up with her own hands, "Lin Xin, what happened? You just said that Xia Huang was underground, what was going on?"

The third lady asked a question, Lin Xin did not dare to neglect and replied in detail: "I met Xia Huang a few days ago and asked him to help me get the spiritual herbs to save my father. Everything was going well, but just when Xia Huang got the spiritual herbs, a big pit suddenly appeared on the ground and sucked Xia Huang in. I waited there until yesterday, but Xia Huang never came out, and then I returned to Pingcheng alone..."

"Where is that pit?" Lin Xuan said anxiously.

"It has disappeared... After sucking Xia Huang in, the pit disappeared..."

This is a disappointing answer. It is the same for both Lin Xuan and the people in the Ling family.

"Hmph! It deserves it!" Ling Zhan sneered, "Aung San is full of crises, which is well-known. The boy deliberately chose the location in Aung San, and must have left a way out for himself. If he loses, he can escape into the mountains and use the various monsters in Aung San to stop us from chasing. Now that he has killed himself with such wishful thinking, he deserves it!"

"Shut up! Xia Huang is not that kind of person!" Lin Xuan scolded angrily.

She will always remember the heroic figure who rescued her under the mouth of the beast with a mask, and will always remember the unyielding and proud figure who was injured in the battle, no matter how he was injured, he never took a step back! Such a man would never consider running away!

Ling Zhan glanced at Lin Xuan coldly and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Oh! Girl, are you reacting a lot? Why? Do you have an affair with him?"

"Second brother, you reminded me of this sentence." Ling Wu also came over at this time, "The boy risked his offense to make weapons for this girl. Maybe it was this girl who tempted him with some ulterior motives. Hehe!"

Looking at the disgusting smile on the Ling brothers' faces, Lin Xuan was so angry that her pretty face turned red, and her lower lip was bleeding. But there were more than a hundred people present in the Ling family. She came alone and had limited strength and had no choice but to be angry.

"Girl, don't worry, that boy will not be lonely even if he dies. At worst, I'll be wronged and let you accompany me." The lustful light in Ling Zhan's eyes became increasingly unconcealed. Anyway, the Ling family and the Lin family have been in a bad relationship for a day or two. Even if he really did the third lady of the Lin family, he would just throw a handful of firewood on the already ignited flames.

Although Ling Yuan didn't care much about this son that made him proud, as the head of the family, he obviously considered more issues than his own son.

Ling Yuan's majestic gaze swept across the residents of Pingcheng who were watching around him and said in a cold voice: "What? Do you still want to continue watching?"

Although there were no threatening words in this sentence, the onlookers shook and subconsciously shook their heads.

They are just ordinary residents, so they can watch the excitement. They dare not think about it, and they dare not do it if they offend the head of the Ling family.

"Since you don't want to continue watching, what are you still here to do?!" Ling Yuan glared.

The onlookers of Pingcheng were frightened by Ling Yuan's surprise and retreated in a panic in the direction of Pingcheng. Two or three of them accidentally slipped under their feet and fell to the ground, and they tripped several people behind them. The scene suddenly became messy.

Ling Zhan, who was already addicted to teasing Lin Xuan, did not accept his father's kindness, but instead sang: "Father, why did you let them go? Wait a little while for the game, wouldn't it be better if there are people watching? Let everyone in Pingcheng see, under the clothes of the third lady of the Lin family..."

"Shameless!"

Lin Xuan almost clenched her teeth. She had already regretted it at this moment, regretting that she did not agree to come with her cousin, and regretting that she had not brought the family guards to Aung San. Lin Xuan secretly held the short sword she carried with her. If Ling Zhan really wanted to humiliate her in public, she would rather die than suffer such a great humiliation!

Just as Ling Zhan took the first step towards Lin Xuan, an unexpected sound suddenly exploded out of thin air like thunder!

"You Ling family is really helpless when treating a woman like this!"
