Chapter 30: The Dignity of Men
Hearing this voice, Mason's heavy punch that was about to hit Lin Rui's face stopped in the air, and the people around him also turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, only to see that it was a beautiful woman in a purple shirt, followed by a handsome man wearing a white lining and a light blue robe. Seeing these two people, Mason's face couldn't help but twitch, and he said in surprise: "Lord Yue, Tang Gongzi, you are also ...... Here it comes? ”。
Since Yue Ling'er didn't return to Shuiyue County from Thunder County for a long time, there were not many people who knew him, and after hearing Mason say that the purple-shirted woman at the door was actually the county lord of Shuiyue County, the people at the door were in a commotion, and seeing Yue Ling'er preventing Mason from making a move on Lin Rui, the people around him thought that there would be a good show to watch now.
Letting go of Lin Rui in his hand, Mason said with a dissatisfied face: "County Lord, I have the good intention to fight with this Lin Rui, and by the way, let the friends around me also open their eyes and have fun on the holiday, but this Lin Rui actually took out a piece of garbage and humiliated us in public, I just taught him a lesson, you don't need to meddle." When he said this, many of the surrounding audiences also nodded yes, everyone felt that this Lin Rui was dressed gorgeously, and he should also be a rich child, and he actually took out such a dirty puppet in public, which really humiliated Mason and the surrounding audience.
Only those who witnessed the beginning of the conflict, Yue Ling'er and the boss, who know the real situation at hand, know that this treasure fight is just Mason's personal desire to be in the limelight and force Lin Rui to appear, the purpose is to make Lin Rui make a fool of himself in public, and at the same time take the opportunity to forcibly occupy the treasure in Lin Rui's hand, but I didn't expect this Lin Rui to take such a garbage puppet out, so that Mason finally stole the chicken and rice.
Yue Ling'er didn't know how Mason and Lin Rui clashed at the beginning, she and Tang Yuan only found out that Lin Rui was missing when they watched the performance, they just walked out along the alley and found that a large number of people had gathered here, and they squeezed in with the mentality of seeing the excitement, but they didn't expect to see Mason take out the dagger and hand it to the pawn shop owner triumphantly, but Lin Rui stood in the middle of the field with an angry face, staring at Mason fiercely.
Yue Ling'er also sighed in her heart, in the past three days of the Welcoming Immortal Festival, this Lin Rui has actually become the focus of everyone's attention twice, and it is actually related to the Mei family. The Mei family controls the Imperial Armament A Regiment, in Shuiyue County, and even the Dongling Empire is a huge and incomparable force, even those royal nobles in the empire have few who dare to confront them head-on, I didn't expect this civilian boy who can't even cultivate the energy of the body, in the past two days, he has actually married Lao Tzu Mei Zhantian and his son Mason, and I saw that unless Lin Rui died, he would have to live under the shadow of the Mei family's huge power for the rest of his life.
And seeing Lin Rui actually take a dirty puppet out to tease Mason, it made Yue Ling'er and Tang Yuan secretly surprised, Tang Yuan couldn't help but scold Lin Rui for being a typical idiot, he really couldn't figure it out, how could such a person with negligible strength dare to provoke some powerful opponents again and again, it seems that only treating him as an idiot with a lack of strings in his brain can explain it.
As for Yue Ling'er, if she had only been entrusted by others to save Lin Rui before, and she didn't have much interest in Lin Rui, a cultivation waste, then after seeing the invitation letter given to Lin Rui by the Yunxin County Lord of the Tianji Empire, she really began to pay attention to this kid. After all, Yue Ling'er didn't expect that he actually had a strong backup like Yunxin County Lord, and the other party could mobilize a shadow-level martial artist like Hua Zhixiao.
For Yue Ling'er, if she can get the support of masters outside the Dongling Empire, it will undoubtedly be a huge help for the Shuiyue County Palace's current deal with Mei Zhantian, so that she can not only confront Mei Zhantian, a shadow magician, head-on, but also use foreign forces to cover the Shuiyue County Palace, so that the Mei family will not be aware of the plan of the Shuiyue County Palace, which will undoubtedly have the effect of killing two birds with one stone for Yue Ling'er.
On this day, although Yue Ling'er didn't ask Lin Rui about his acquaintance with the Yunxin County Lord, and how he offended Mei Zhantian and was forced to go to the fighting ring, she had been secretly thinking about how to make good use of Lin Rui and the Tianji Empire forces behind him, so she couldn't let Mason hurt Lin Rui at the moment.
Hearing Mason say this, Yue Ling'er smiled and stepped forward to pick up the dirty Linlong puppet, gently patted the dust on it, put it on the table, and said, "Mason, you just know the appearance of a thing, but you don't know how to discover the value of the treasure if you study his heart carefully?" After speaking, Yue Ling'er turned the mouth of the Linlong puppet down, pinched the belly of the Linlong puppet with her hand, and actually took a colorful small stone from the mouth of the Linlong puppet, and this small stone was placed on the table, but faintly exuded a trace of energy.
Oh! Seeing this thing, the people around sighed, although this is an ordinary five-color stone, but it actually has a trace of heaven and earth energy, it can also be regarded as a top grade, because the refining of any precious medicine or high-grade weapon needs this kind of minerals or animals and plants with heaven and earth energy, this five-color stone is undoubtedly a good refining material! Although it is still not as good as Mason's dagger, judging from the five-colored stone hidden in the puppet, at least Lin Rui did not humiliate this treasure fighting competition.
"You!" Mason called, he was extremely dissatisfied, because just now, neither he nor the three appraisers felt any energy fluctuations coming from the puppet when they got this puppet, it was definitely an ordinary puppet, how could there be such a stone with heaven and earth energy hidden in his stomach?
Thinking that Yue Ling'er must have taken the opportunity to do something when she picked up the puppet, she stuffed such a thing into the puppet, but she didn't expect Yue Ling'er to protect this Lin Rui so much, Mason was also on fire for a while, he was just about to step forward and ask Lin Rui again, but a hand stretched out next to him to stop him, and a voice said coldly: "Mason, you can't be presumptuous in front of the county lord!" ”
Seeing Tang Yuan make a move, Mason couldn't help but take a step back, he had already suffered two losses at Tang Yuan's hands. Today, Doubao was already humiliated by Lin Rui, if he was forced to stop by Tang Yuan in public, he would be home today, seeing Tang Yuan blocking in front of Lin Rui, Mason said fiercely: "Tang Yuan, you want to help this kid come out and go against me Mason?" ”
Tang Yuan snorted heavily, but he didn't pay attention to the meaning of Mason's words, and said coldly: "I only know that as a member of the royal guard, I have the responsibility to maintain the authority of the county palace, if you dare to take another step, don't blame me for being unkind to you!" ”
Seeing this situation, the people around him also quickly began to disperse, one is the son of Mei Zhantian, the head of the armed forces A, and the other is the son of Tang Qiang, the captain of the palace guard.
After a while, except for a few idlers who were not afraid of death and watched these people from a distance, everyone else left the pawn shop far away, and the owner of the pawn shop hid behind the counter, praying to God and Buddha in his heart, hoping that the two ancestors would not fight in their own stores. The guy next to him was lying on the ground with his head in his hands, so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word.
A faint blue energy emanated from Tang Yuan's body, and the opponent's fighting moves seemed to be on the verge of triggering! But it made the face of Mason on the opposite side extremely bad, although this Tang Yuan had just stepped into the threshold of an intermediate martial artist in physical arts, it was enough to suppress a junior martial artist like himself.
Mason thought of Tang Yuan's means to save Lin Rui that night, and thought to himself that this guy's fighting methods were both rigid and soft, as well as a strange secret weapon method, and he really didn't have the confidence to beat him. Damn, this Tang Yuan has been bad for me and made me ugly, sooner or later I will let you return all the money with interest!
Mason said to Tang Yuan: "Damn, count you ruthless, remember it for Lao Tzu!" He waved his hand to the attendant and the girl next to him, picked up the sandalwood box on the table, and was about to go out to leave, but before turning around, he scolded Lin Rui behind him: "Lin Rui, relying on others to rescue him three or four times, it's really fucking wasteful!" It's a shame that you said that you wanted to surpass Lao Tzu in cultivation that day, and you haven't grown at all these days, and now you're still hiding behind the girls, I think you won't stand and pee in the future! ”
Hearing Mason scolding Lin Rui in his words, he dared to speak disrespectfully to Yue Ling'er, Tang Yuan was also furious, and he stepped forward to blast him out of the door with a punch, but Mason laughed and hurriedly ran out of the door, but heard his voice coming from a distance: "Waste Lin Rui, hahahaha, will only hide behind the girls!" ”
Tang Yuan was about to chase out the door, but Yue Ling'er hurriedly grabbed him, thinking to herself: "This Mason is actually so arrogant, it seems that the Mei family has been arrogant and domineering in the Dongling Empire in the past few years, they have a huge power, but even the palace doesn't look at it very much." ”
Looking at Lin Rui behind her, Yue Ling'er sighed in her heart, picked up the puppet and five-color stone on the table and handed them to Lin Rui, smiled and said: "Lin Rui, don't care too much about that guy, let's continue shopping, there is a Wanhua Festival at night, but it is very lively!" ”
Unexpectedly, Lin Rui only snatched the puppet and stuffed it into his arms, but he didn't look at the five-colored stone, and said coldly: "County Lord, let's go shopping separately, lest my waste material lower your grade next to you." ”
Hearing this, Tang Yuan's face changed, and he stepped forward and shouted, "Presumptuous!" The county lord kindly invited you, not only do you not know how to lift, but also dare to speak disrespectfully? Lin Rui turned his head to look at Tang Yuan and sneered: "So what? If I don't go, could it be that Tang Gongzi is going to kill me? ”
Tang Yuan was furious, and he stepped forward and was about to beat Lin Rui violently, Yue Ling'er hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, turned his head and said softly to Lin Rui: "Lin Rui, I know you feel uncomfortable, if you feel uncomfortable or can't figure it out, just say it, don't hold it in your heart." ”
Lin Rui shouted: "I have something I can't figure out? Yes, I really can't figure it out, you are the county lord, why do you have to pull me a civilian boy with you again and again? You are the county lord, why do you care so much about the life and death of a civilian waste material? You are the lord of the county, why do you need to be a garbage for me! Although I, Lin Rui, am a waste material, I am also a man, and I have the ability to deal with my own affairs and face my own problems! We're not related, do I need you to worry so much about my own affairs! ”
Syllable! Tang Yuan slapped Lin Rui in the face, making a loud sound, and Tang Yuan shouted, "Bastard, you dare to be so rude to the county lord?" This time it was very sudden, and Yue Ling'er didn't have time to react, but it had already hit Lin Rui's left cheek.
Although this slap did not use physical energy, after all, Tang Yuan had practiced physical skills for many years, and his physical strength was already very amazing, and a casual slap also knocked Lin Rui and fell to the ground, Tang Yuan snorted disdainfully: "Waste is waste, and you dare to put up a fight in front of us and play with your temper!" ”
Lin Rui covered his red and swollen cheeks and stood up, but said with a sneer: "Good fight, good fight!" I'm a piece of shit, I don't need you to worry so much! He rushed forward, pushed away Yue Ling'er in front of him, and ran out of the pawn shop.
Ay! Yue Ling'er hurriedly chased out, but saw that Lin Rui had already jumped on a Tianyan wolf mount parked on the side of the road outside, kicked his legs, and the Tianyan wolf screamed and ran directly in the direction of leaving the city.
Yue Ling'er stomped her feet, screaming in her heart, but it was too late to catch up, and a person on the side of the road who was selecting goods just now chased after her, shouting: "My mount, hey, my Tianyan wolf!" Stinky boy, you dare to steal my mount, everyone help me stop him! But Lin Rui kicked a few times and soon disappeared around the corner, leaving the man far behind.
Tang Yuan said puzzled behind Yue Ling'er: "County Lord, why do you always protect this kid?" I really don't understand it below! What qualifications does he have to defend in this way? Yue Ling'er just shook her head and didn't answer Tang Yuan's words.
Looking at Lin Rui, who was riding away on the Tianyan Wolf, Yue Ling'er sighed in her heart: "Lin Rui, your man's self-esteem is really strong, I hope you don't let those words damage your cultivation and affect your future growth!" ”
