Chapter 229: Could it really be him?

Today is a good day because Old Sun said his eighth concubine’s youngest daughter was born.

So after finishing work at three in the afternoon, Old Sun invited his colleagues, including Lin Xun and the others, to have a good celebration.

However, since this is ancient times, there are no internet cafes or similar places, so there really aren’t many places to celebrate and have fun.

Therefore, this Spring Breeze Tower was the first choice.

Lin Xun really couldn’t refuse them and was “forced” to be dragged along, even though he was walking faster than any of them.

Actually, it was nothing; coming to the Spring Breeze Tower was just to watch girls dance. In his past life, he practically lived in the dance section of the B-site.

This world doesn’t have a dance section, so what’s wrong with watching some dancing in his spare time?

But he didn’t expect it! He finally managed to come watch some dancing today, and he actually ran into Sikong Wangxing and Zhu Ling?!

Had he seen it wrong?

Lin Xun rubbed his eyes. Alright, he really hadn’t seen wrong!

It really was Sikong Wangxing and Zhu Ling!

Plus the presence of some Death Warriors in the shadows, he was absolutely certain.

Wait, why aren’t you two staying in Tianji City and Medicine King Valley to Cultivate? What are you doing in Luo City?

And how did Tianji City and Medicine King Valley let two weak girls like you come out?

For a moment, Lin Xun was flustered, especially seeing them looking straight into his eyes. He felt as if he was being seen through from the outside in!

“No! Lin Xun! Don’t panic, there’s no need to panic.” Lin Xun forced himself to calm down.

He had been wearing a mask back then, and even his physique had been slightly transformed. Wang Xing and Zhu Ling aren’t Wang Chen; how could they possibly recognize him?

Besides, even if Wang Xing is smart, with that silly Little White Rabbit Zhu Ling around, their average IQ would definitely be dragged down a notch.

The above was Lin Xun’s series of mental activities during the brief three seconds of eye contact.

In the fourth second, Lin Xun immediately looked away and slapped the back of his colleague’s head: “Stop staring. What, have you lost your soul looking at those girls?”

Being slapped by Lin Xun, Old Sun and the others finally snapped out of it, scratching their heads and grinning foolishly.

Lin Xun bowed to Sikong Wangxing and Zhu Ling: “Apologies to the two ladies, we were rude. It’s mainly because we didn’t expect there to be such beautiful people in this world.”

“Thank you for the compliment, sir.” Sikong Wangxing curtsied in return, but her Star Eyes blinked as she looked at Lin Xun, scanning him repeatedly.

Similarly, the Little White Rabbit Zhu Ling stared at Lin Xun.

Zhu Ling knew she clearly hadn’t met him before, yet for some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity in her heart.

Even looking at this face she had never seen before, Zhu Ling felt a dull ache in her forehead and even had an urge to bite him.

“Oh, isn’t this Young Master Sun?”

“Mr. Wang, long time no see.”

“Young Master Lin, I’ve rehearsed a new dance today. Please give me some pointers.”

Just as Lin Xun was getting a bit flustered by Sikong Wangxing and Zhu Ling’s scrutiny, the lightly-dressed waitresses of the Spring Breeze Tower happened to come out and ushered Lin Xun and the others inside.

Looking at Lin Xun’s back until he disappeared into the entrance of the Spring Breeze Tower, Sikong Wangxing lowered her head, her eyes thoughtful.

“How strange, I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere before.” Beside Sikong Wangxing, Zhu Ling muttered softly, pouting her small mouth.

“Does Xiao Ling feel that way too?”

“Eh?” Zhu Ling blinked. “Does Sister Wangxing feel it too?”

Sikong Wangxing nodded gently.

Zhu Ling couldn’t remember where this familiarity came from, but Sikong Wangxing had already begun to compare him with Lin Xun in her mind.

Especially when Sikong Wangxing recalled that the Tianji City Elders had calculated that “Lin Xun is in the Qian Kingdom and is a Scholar,” the feeling in her heart grew even stronger.

Plus, hearing their conversation earlier, this Scholar seemed to have a wife.

Sikong Wangxing bit her thin lip and looked at the entrance of the Spring Breeze Tower.

“Could it really be him? Is it really such a coincidence?”

“Jiang Qing… Qinger…”

In Sikong Wangxing’s mind, she recalled what Lin Xun had said to her in the cave within the Heiwu Secret Realm.

That woman’s name was Qinger, which was only one character different from Sister Qingshang.

If she knew the name of this Scholar’s wife, she could determine if he was Lin Xun.

“But… even if he really is Young Master Lin, so what? He ignored me directly, doesn’t that mean he doesn’t want anything to do with me anymore?”

“Haven’t I already made up my mind to break the engagement with him? To live a good life on my own?”

“Sister Sikong? Sister, are you unwell?”

Seeing Sikong Wangxing’s slightly furrowed willow-like brows, Zhu Ling grabbed Sikong Wangxing’s wrist to check her pulse.

“I’m fine.” Sikong Wangxing gently held Zhu Ling’s small hand that was checking her pulse, shook her head, and smiled. “Xiao Ling, do you want to go into the Spring Breeze Tower? How about we go in and take a look?”

Ultimately, the girl decided; she still wanted to know if it was him.

If it was him, she wanted to see how he was doing, and she wanted to see Qinger.

She would just take a look, and she wouldn’t disturb him.

“Go in… and look? Eh?” Hearing Sikong Wangxing’s words, Zhu Ling’s small face instantly turned crimson. “Sister Wangxing, but this is… this is…”

Zhu Ling’s face felt hot.

Although Zhu Ling rarely went out, before coming to Luo City, the only time she had left the Medicine King Valley was to go to the Heiwu Secret Realm to save her grandfather.

But Zhu Ling also knew from books what kind of place this was.

She couldn’t enter a place like this.

“It’s fine.” Sikong Wangxing tightly held Zhu Ling’s hand. “We can dress up a bit… Don’t the books… don’t the books say that many women dress as men to go to places in the Mortal World? We… we can too!”

As Sikong Wangxing said these words, a faint blush also appeared on her snow-white face.

Zhu Ling could even feel Sister Wangxing’s small hand trembling with nervousness.

It was clear that Sister Wangxing was actually quite nervous as well. But even so, why did she still want to go?

Was it out of curiosity?

Actually, she was also very curious.

But if she entered the Spring Breeze Tower, her grandfather would definitely scold her.

But…

Seeing this place that appeared in basically every book, she really wanted to go and see it too.

And since no one was following them, her grandfather wouldn’t find out.

“Then…”

Little White Rabbit Zhu Ling’s eyes darted around as she guiltily looked left and right.

Finally, the girl nodded with a complex mood, lowering her head and speaking in a low voice, like a thief.

“Then I’ll listen to Sister Wangxing…”
