The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 247
247. Returning to the Lin Family
A few days ago, in the imperial city, in a magnificent palace.
“Your Highness, do you have something on your mind? I see that you have been walking for a long time.”
The maid serving the princess could tell what was on the mind of Princess Luo Xiaoxue of the Great Han Empire. Whenever she paced back and forth in the courtyard, she naturally had something on her mind.
After all, she had been serving Luo Xiaoxue since she was a child, so she could naturally see through her thoughts.
“It’s nothing, just that the palace is too dull and boring.”
“Your Highness, it doesn’t seem like boredom, it seems like you are missing someone. Is it a certain young man?”
“Oh, you understand me the best, don’t you? It’s nothing like that.”
At this point, Luo Xiaoxue blushed.
After all, she was a young girl in her prime, missing the young man she admired. Wasn’t that normal?
The maid seemed to understand what was going on. Since the last expedition, the princess had often been restless and thoughtful.
The princess was still young and often read those love stories of chivalrous couples in the palace, always feeling emotional and longing to experience a deep and unforgettable love herself one day.
The maid naturally had an idea of who the princess was missing. After all, since the princess returned, she often talked about the deeds of that young man.
Lin Nuo, Lin the Hero.
Previously, she talked about Lin Fanpai, but now she mentioned Lin Nuo.
The princess’s thoughts changed so quickly. She didn’t know who Lin Fanpai was, but she knew Lin Nuo.
The third young master of the Lin family, although he didn’t have a high status in the Lin family and had no achievements to speak of before.
However, during the last expedition, the princess often mentioned his brilliant strategies, predicting the fall of a meteorite from the sky, saving the border, and being a hero of the people. Lin Nuo seemed increasingly mysterious and unpredictable.
“Tell me something interesting to listen to, I’m quite bored.”
“I have something that I think Your Highness will be interested in.”
“What is it?” Luo Xiaoxue asked curiously.
“It’s the grand celebration of the Lin family, a banquet of a prestigious family. I heard that the Lin family is a renowned family, inviting various dignitaries to the banquet to celebrate this joyous occasion together.”
“Why haven’t I heard of it?” Luo Xiaoxue wondered.
“Your Highness just returned to the palace not long ago, and besides, this is a matter of the common people, it wouldn’t be specifically spread in the palace. I heard it from outside.”
“When is it?”
Luo Xiaoxue suddenly had an idea. The grand celebration of the Lin family, Lin the Hero would definitely return then.
Although she didn’t like banquets with fish and meat, she had to make a special trip to see Lin the Hero.
“About ten days later, Your Highness, are you going?”
“Of course, I’ll go. It seems that such banquets require invitations. Alright, I’ll get one. Going to the banquet will increase my experience. After all, such grand occasions will be indispensable for me in the future.”
“I understand, Your Highness is going for the experience.” The palace maid teased with a playful smile.
“I really am going to gain experience, I’m not lying to you, don’t laugh.”
Luo Xiaoxue retorted, but the palace maid had already seen through her thoughts. Her purpose of mentioning the Lin family’s grand celebration was achieved.
“Your Highness visiting the Lin family will require a heavy escort.”
“Not necessary, I never liked using my princess status. I prefer to visit incognito, it’s more interesting that way.”
Luo Xiaoxue had a plan in mind. Without delay, she hurried to get an invitation or a ticket to visit the Lin family.
Master Lin, we will meet soon~
…
Lin Nuo got dozens of bottles of Cold Water from Mu Yiting, which should last until the end of the Lin family’s grand celebration.
However, there were too many bottles of Cold Water, making them hard to carry. This was when Li Ruo’er, essential for home and travel, was needed.
She had already mastered the art of the Spirit Pouch. Through this technique, she could store all the Cold Water in the Spirit Pouch and carry it with her.
Lin Nuo asked Li Ruo’er to teach him the art of the Spirit Pouch. He practiced but found he never succeeded.
According to Li Ruo’er’s analysis, it was due to insufficient immortal energy.
Lin Nuo cursed under his breath, “Damn immortal energy, it even has a recognition system, requiring immortal energy to use. I’m done with it.”
From now on, he would let the tool person Li Ruo’er handle it. If one Spirit Pouch wasn’t enough, he would add another.
Mu Yiting followed Lin Nuo’s instructions to contact Ling Meng from the Demon Refining Sect, praying for success and hoping to get Ling Meng’s help to turn the tide.
Lin Nuo and his group entered the city, keeping a low profile, accompanied only by a maid. As for Su Kexin, she represented the immortals and wasn’t considered part of his entourage.
Due to the lack of prestige and fame, few in the city noticed this third young master of the Lin family.
After all, the returning family members of the Lin family either had a group of guards or a red carpet, and the cultivators descended by sword flight, making a grand entrance. Only he, mingling among the commoners, had no presence at all.
Lin Nuo walked to a shop and asked:
“Excuse me, where is the Lin family mansion?”
“The Lin family mansion? Just go straight ahead for a few miles, then…”
The shop owner explained to Lin Nuo and then noticed that the young man looked familiar.
“Hey, you look like the third young master of the Lin family, Lin Nuo, right?”
“No, you got the wrong person, boss. I’m just here to attend the banquet, not Lin Nuo.” Lin Nuo refuted.
“Really? Alright, maybe I was mistaken. The Lin family’s grand celebration is coming up, and all guests are welcome. Here, have a box of bean cakes.”
“Then I shall accept it gratefully.”
Lin Nuo took the box of bean cakes, ate one, then took out his money pouch and handed it to the shop owner, “These are delicious, boss. Give me a few more boxes. Your small business isn’t easy.”
“So many? It’s not necessary.”
“They’re just copper coins, not much. It should be enough.”
The shopkeeper didn’t even check how many copper coins were in the money bag, he just accepted it, gave Lin Nuo several boxes of bean cakes, and then Lin Nuo and his companions left.
“Senior brother, you are the young master of the Lin family, why do you still need to ask for directions?” Su Kexin asked in confusion.
“If you don’t keep the road in mind, you will naturally forget it.”
Lin Nuo said meaningfully. He indeed had no desire to go home, so he naturally wouldn’t remember this road.
After walking a long distance and asking many passersby, they finally arrived at the gate of the Lin family mansion.
The Lin family mansion, the hall of a great family, was grand and magnificent, with heavy guards inside and outside.
“Who goes there?”
A heavy guard deliberately stopped Lin Nuo, not letting him in.
“Your father.”
Lin Nuo retorted coldly to the heavy guard without hesitation.
“You…”
The heavy guard was about to make a move on Lin Nuo, but Lin Nuo leaped back directly.
“If you want to fight, I can go out and fight with you, but you still have to make way.”
Although he intended to return low-key, he still had to take action when stopped by the heavy guard.
This heavy guard was not his father’s, but his elder brother’s.
His elder brother was a high-ranking official, holding heavy troops, and naturally brought heavy guards back, making a grand scene.
The heavy guard was rude to him, also under his elder brother’s orders.
In his previous life, Lin Nuo was timid and submissive. Today, he came back to attend a banquet, who could stop him from entering the door.
The heavy guards looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward.
“Fine, step aside.”
Then the heavy guard was beaten up by Lin Nuo.
