This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Standing at the side, Xie Yuan wrinkled her nose and snorted. She ran to Lin Shuimo and said with a bright smile, "Sister Shuimo, I'm that calligraphy and painting girl. He always bullies me. If there's a chance, you have to help me take care of him."

Miss Xie was currently a top student at National University. After spending time with Lin Shuhua , she would occasionally come to Huaqing to find a boyfriend. Her identity was completely different from the previous Lin Shuimo . Perhaps she knew of such a person, but this was the first time she had met Lin Shuimo .

"I can't care about him. It's rare for him to call me 'Sister'. It's weird for him to listen to me."

Lin Shuimo laughed softly.

Xie Yuan, who didn't seem to have any shrewd thoughts, casually said something to Xiao Bai. She exchanged phone numbers with each other and shook Lin Xiaocao 's hand symbolically. After taking care of everything, she said goodbye to Lin Xiaocao .

Lin Shuimo looked at Xie Yuan's back with a complicated expression.

Xie Yuan was indeed the eldest young miss of a wealthy family, To these people, Lin Shuimo had always held a certain degree of reverence in his heart, but perhaps he had a blood relationship with Lin Shuhua . Perhaps Third Uncle was far away in the northeast of the empire. Even though the relationship between the two was neither cold nor hot, Lin Shuimo rarely treated Lin Shuhua , who was inseparable from the Crown Prince, as a young master of a wealthy family.

However, only when she first entered this small circle did she feel that Lin Shuhua was deeply rooted in this circle. Only then did she realize that Third Uncle, who was far away in the northeast of the empire, could already be called a wealthy family.

I heard that the Emperor's disciple is appreciated by the King beside him. Even if Lin Shuhua isn't considered Third Uncle, he won't be underestimated, right?

"What are you thinking?"

Chen Qingyu came to Lin Shuimo 's side and smiled softly. Her gaze was gentle as if she was looking at her sister.

"Nothing, where's the Crown Prince?"

Lin Shuimo came back to his senses and smiled.

"Bo Long doesn't have any classes in the morning. He went to the Gale Party to find Tong Tian. In the afternoon, the two brothers went to the Hidden Dragon Sea together. You will not be able to see them until another day. I have arranged a few friends for dinner tonight. Xiao Bai will also go."

Chen Qingyu smiled. Her circle wasn't big, but it wasn't just Xie Yuanlin and Shuhua. When Wang Bolong and Wang Tongtian weren't around, she was the eldest sister in the small circle. Tonight, she gathered all the people she could get together. Having dinner together could be considered a formal gesture. She accepted Lin Shuimo into their small circle.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's have some casual food and watch the meeting in the afternoon."

Chen Qingyu smiled and led the way. The few of them chatted as they spoke. Finally, they walked into an inconspicuous dumpling restaurant near Huaqing University.

"The dumplings here are very authentic. If I don't want to cook in the dormitory, I will come here to appease my greed. The place is small, but it tastes good. Try it later."

There weren't many people in the dumpling house. Chen Qingyu smiled and asked for a few large plates of lamb and coriander stuffed dumplings. She ordered a few other dishes and stood up. "I'm going to the kitchen to take a look. I'm very familiar with the owner's wife. Let her serve them quickly."

"I really didn't expect Senior Sister Qingyu to be so easy-going and approachable. I announce that we will stay in Huaqing in the afternoon and recall the school days."

Lin Shuimo held a chopstick in his hand and lightly tapped on the table.

"Agreed."

Poplar lazily said as he held his cheeks with one hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

The curtain of the dumpling shop was lifted from outside, and two figures walked in one after the other.

A man and a woman.

The man looked about forty years old. He had an ordinary figure and appearance. At first glance, even his temperament was very ordinary. He was quiet, calm, and composed.

The woman behind him was a complicated woman whose age was hard to tell. She had a 20-year-old face and a 30-year-old charm, but her eyes carried a calm and indifferent expression that had been deposited by the years since she was middle-aged. She followed the man quietly, but her eyes occasionally moved, but they were exceptionally sharp and alert.

Lin Xiaocao inadvertently raised his head. Seeing a man and a woman walk in, his expression changed drastically!

For a moment, he seemed to want to get up, but he held back and stared at the man and woman who walked in.

The middle-aged man noticed Lin Xiaocao at the same time and raised his eyebrows slightly. His temperament became calmer and calmer. A smile flashed at the corner of his mouth. He stopped and pointed at Lin Xiaocao. He casually pulled the table over to Lin Xiaocao's dining table and said indifferently, "Sharing the table."

The complicated woman who walked in with him narrowed her eyes, and her entire body instantly surged with a fierce aura, her expression cold.

The seemingly ordinary middle-aged man waved his hand, signaling for her to sit down. He sat down beside Lin Xiaocao casually and chuckled, "What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

Lin Shuimo , who had originally frowned slightly at the middle-aged man, was slightly stunned, but he quietly became vigilant in his heart.

Know Lin Xiaocao ?

She knew very well what Lin Xiaocao , who had never been to Nine Continents City before, was doing. He was a killer, a mercenary, and most of the people she knew were his companions. Moreover, looking at Lin Xiaocao 's expression just now, it was clear that this ordinary looking man was not easy to deal with.

"What are you doing here again?"

Lin Xiaocao narrowed his eyes and sneered. His tone was ice-cold, and his entire body tensed up. He secretly stored his strength, as if he would attack at any moment.

"Spend a Lantern Festival with my wife and children. I just happened to pass by and come to eat something."

The middle-aged man's tone was gentle. He casually took a pair of chopsticks and glanced at Bai Yang and Lin Shuimo . He said calmly, "Relax, you can't beat me. I'm in a good mood to eat. Don't ruin my mood, or else don't blame me for not giving you face."

Poplar didn't feel anything, but Lin Shuimo raised his head in surprise.

Lin Xiaocao couldn't defeat this ordinary looking middle-aged man?

He had seen Lin Xiaocao act so arrogantly. If he really wanted to compare, Lin Shuimo subconsciously felt that of the experts she had seen, perhaps only the white-clothed man who had killed Lin Xiao in the Yan Huang Club's car park that night could suppress Lin Xiaocao.

Lin Xiaocao 's imposing aura suddenly erupted, but it instantly subsided before anyone could feel the danger.

The complicated woman who came in with the middle-aged man looked up coldly at Lin Xiaocao and remained silent.

"What are you looking at? Provocation? Do you think I don't dare to touch you? If I want to kill you, who do you think can stop me?"

Lin Xiaocao stared at the woman with a gloomy gaze. His eyes were like a poisonous snake, cold and evil, completely different from his usual personality.

"I can't stop her, but she's my woman. Try moving."

The middle-aged man's tone was indifferent. He picked up the menu and casually glanced at it. He ordered two kilograms of dumplings, also filled with coriander and mutton.

Lin Shuimo finally realized the difference between this ordinary looking man in front of him.

His tone was always so calm, as if there was nothing that could cause him to have emotional fluctuations. It was clearly a question, but it became a very definite statement in his mouth.

Lin Shuimo thought for a long time and finally understood that it was pure self-confidence and calm. He kept it to the extreme, but just a little explosion was enough to kill him.

Chen Qingyu finally walked out of the kitchen and saw the two tables together. She frowned slightly, but she suddenly saw the face of the woman who came in with the middle-aged man.

Chen Qingyu , who was gentle, charming, and graceful, instantly opened her eyes, covered her mouth, and subconsciously wanted to cry out in alarm.

The middle-aged man who put down the menu casually turned his head and looked at Chen Qingyu , who was shocked. He said indifferently, "What a water-like girl. You two came together? Share a table and eat together."

Originally, Chen Qingyu , who was somewhat unhappy, was stunned for a moment. She walked over blankly and sat opposite the two men.

A few plates of dumplings followed behind Chen Qingyu and were placed in front of them.

Lin Xiaocao 's face was cold as he casually pushed the plate. The whole plate of dumplings was directly delivered to the middle-aged man. He was expressionless as he stared at the wall beside him, like a stubborn child angering with an elder.

The middle-aged man smiled and picked up the dumplings on Lin Xiaocao 's plate and blew them into his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Chen Qingyu 's heart was beating violently, and her mind was completely blank.

Regardless of whether it was rational or emotional, it reminded her that the strange scene before her was like a dream, as if it was a huge gossip.

"How long have you been in Nine Continents City?"

The middle-aged man asked casually as he ate the dumplings.

"Not long."

Lin Xiaocao 's expression was cold and he didn't want to say a word.

"Have you met Lin Fengxue ?"

When the middle-aged man mentioned the name Lin Fengxue , he was as calm as a cat or a dog.

Lin Xiaocao didn't say anything.

"It's useless."

The middle-aged man smiled playfully with a trace of mockery.

Lin Xiaocao sneered and asked Chen Qingyu to almost spit out a mouthful of water that she had just drunk. "Do you think you have any future? You are so capable. After all these years, Lin Fengxue is still alive and well. How can you explain that?"

"There's no need to explain. It's just a dog. I'll kill him if I say so, but he's dead. There are other lackeys out there. It's boring. But since you think so, I'll go take a walk tonight."

"You dare?!"

Lin Xiaocao 's tone was cold and threatening.

"There's nothing I don't dare to do. If you want to stop me, at most I'll fight you again. This time, it'll definitely be much easier than last time."

The middle-aged man ate as he spoke. He ate very quickly, and a large plate of dumplings soon came to a bottom.

The woman who came with him obviously did not know what courtesy was. She directly took the dumplings in front of Chen Qingyu and almost wiped out all the food at the same time as the man.

Throughout the entire process, Chen Qingyu , who was somewhat dazed, did not even say a word.

"Do you want to try?"

Speaking of which, Lin Xiaocao calmed down, but the battle intent in her eyes was like lava, constantly boiling.

"Xiaocao, you've disappointed me."

The middle-aged man did not answer. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of cheap tea. He took a sip and said indifferently, "I have been watching you for the past three years. Looks like your condition has been declining. Logically speaking, it will be your peak in at least ten years. However, your current state is obviously not as good as it was three years ago. I want to clean you up. It will only be easier."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Your heart is in turmoil. If you can't adjust yourself, go find your sister. You're not embarrassing, and you're not a coward."

The corner of his mouth curled into a playful smile, as if it was intentional. He casually flicked the cup in front of him.

The teacup didn't seem to move.

What was even more uncertain was that the tea in the cup did not seem to move.

The middle-aged man stood up and said to himself, then left quietly with the woman.

Lin Xiaocao 's expression was strangely quiet as he looked at his back.

This looked ordinary at first glance, but his every move was like a tiger's back that was entrenched in a dragon's coil.

This peerless hero who had personally cut off nearly 70,000 square kilometers of land in the Soviet Union more than 20 years ago to create a royal family on his own!

Your Majesty!

Lin Xiaocao held the chopsticks, his face quiet and his eyes calm.

Actually, he really wanted to tell the man who had left whether he was disappointed or not, and whether he could defeat the invincible him. In fact, it was not important. Lin Xiaocao did not envy the mythical deeds he had once done. The power in that man's hand and the ambition in his heart were things that he did not understand, nor did he want to understand.

He was only alive for revenge, that was all.

Lin Xiaocao heaved a sigh of relief and reached out to grab the teacup that the invincible emperor had just lightly tapped.

Blood instantly covered Lin Xiaocao 's palms!

Lin Xiaocao grasped the teacup that was originally spinning at such a high speed that it made people mistakenly think that it had never moved at all!

The former War God narrowed his eyes with a calm expression.

Chen Qingyu , who had managed to sort out some of the content through the conversation just now, looked at Lin Xiaocao with a face that was extremely charming and gentle. Her eyes were filled with reverence.
