Chapter 55 - Bawling in the Hall
Lin Xuanzhi snapped out of his daze, then suppressed the evil tendencies that arose in his heart. He gazed warmly upon Yan Tianhen who couldn’t control the terror that was leaking through his eyes, then said, “If Ah Hen doesn’t like this place, then you don’t have to go in. You can just wait for me outside. Dage promises you that I’ll come back out in no time.”
Yan Tianhen suppressed the uncontrollable fear in his heart and quickly shook his head, then said, “No, I want to go in with Dage. And it’s not that I don’t like this place, but……but I just don’t know why, when I saw the law enforcement hall’s door today, I suddenly felt really terrified and panicky.”
Lin Xuanzhi heaved a huge sigh in his heart.
Even though he had done his best in repairing that Revert World Mirror, he couldn’t completely erase the past.
Steward Fang gave a cold hng, then said, “You think the law enforcement hall is a place you can enter anytime you wish? Only people from the Lin family can enter the hall, you are but an outsider who was picked up from the streets, so just wait outside!”
Lin Xuanzhi coldly swept a glance over Steward Fang, then took out a delicate-looking small hammer from his storage bag and pa.s.sed it to Yan Tianhen, then said, “Ah Hen, this is the Ground Splitting Hammer that Dad left behind for me. There is a restriction on it, so it can only release a shockwave equivalent to the strength of a Duangu realm cultivator for a maximum of seven times. Whenever you’re bored, or you find someone an eyesore, just throw this hammer at that person’s head, just like how Dage had smashed that reckless, blabbermouth of a doorman. You definitely can’t be soft hearted.”
Yan Tianhen took the small hammer, blinked his eyes a few times, then broke into a smile and said cheerily, “Ok ah Dage, I think Steward Fang’s a pretty big eyesore. He’s obviously a running dog, yet he had to learn how to speak the human language; but from what I’ve heard so far, it still just sounds like barking to me ma.”
Lin Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that his family’s soft and lovable Ah Hen to also be a clever and eloquent little hedgehog.
But, he likes Ah Hen as he is right now.
Lin Xuanzhi thus felt that those two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who had taken away Ah Hen’s speech capabilities in his past life were even more incomparably hateful.
Lin Xuanzhi smiled leisurely, then said, “Then smash him to death, if there are any consequences, Dage will bear it for you.”
When Steward Fang saw the Ground Splitting Hammer, he had already been so terrified his face turned white and his legs couldn’t stop trembling. After he heard Lin Xuanzhi’s words, he really wanted to roll his eyes and just faint on the spot; evidently, he had not expected Lin Xuanzhi to still have this kind of treasure in his hands.
Even though he’s someone whom Madam Bai had brought over to the Lin family and Madam Bai will definitely make Lin Xuanzhi take responsibility if he dies, but of what use is that?
The strong will always be right. Steward Fang’s eyes immediately twinkled, then he shut his mouth up and pretended to be dead.
When Lin Xuanzhi saw this, his lips curved up into a cold smile. He decided not to bother with this person for now.
He gave Yan Tianhen a few warnings and banned Yan Tianhen from following him in with a resolute att.i.tude. He even summoned the two white tigers to accompany Yan Tianhen before he smoothed out his clothes and sauntered into the law enforcement hall.
The law enforcement hall’s main hall was a full 200 zhang1 away from the entrance. You wouldn’t be able to see the top of the hall if you looked up, so there was obviously an array in place as well as a formation that subdued one’s realm to prevent people from resisting or escaping.
The law enforcement hall had a cold and gloomy atmosphere. On its two sides stood tall and thick warning pillars engraved with golden patterns at the top that spelled out the Lin family’s rules, as well as records of the punishments suffered by the past disciples of the Lin family who had broken these rules as a form of warning to the rest.
There were quite a few people in the law enforcement hall; most of them were hall’s guards, while some of them were just there to watch a show. There were a few of the family’s elders present as well.
There were a few people in the law enforcement hall who started to bawl their eyes out the moment they saw Lin Xuanzhi——
“That’s the G.o.dd.a.m.n murderer2 who killed my husband. My husband has served the Lin family as a servant ever since he was a young boy so he’s been in the Lin family for many years. He had never encountered any mishaps during his servitude, yet this guy actually killed my husband just like that, wuwuwuwu……”
“Daddy, waaaa Daddy’s dead, Ah Mei3 and I can’t continue living on anymore!”
“My poor son ah, at first I thought of it as a huge opportunity for you to have entered this cultivator family, but I didn’t expect you to have been murdered so brutally here. You couldn’t even outlive your old mother ah!”
