The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 260



260. The Broad-minded Hero

After wandering outside for a while and confronting a woman, Lin Nuo returned to the Lin family mansion.

To add, he also picked up Luo Xiaoxue.

Of course, this was not his own will.

“The Lin family mansion is really luxurious.”

Luo Xiaoxue deliberately looked around, acting like a little girl who had never seen the world.

“Luxurious?” Lin Nuo asked expressionlessly.

“Luxurious, definitely luxurious, much more luxurious than my home.”

“How does it compare to the palace?”

“Huh?”

Luo Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment. She just asked casually, not expecting Lin Nuo to bring up the palace and make a comparison.

This is…?

It seemed like there was more to the words, as if something was being hinted at.

Luo Xiaoxue also noticed that there was no one else around, no servants either, and it was in this situation that Lin Nuo deliberately mentioned the palace.

“I, I don’t know, I’ve never been to the palace… But, it should be more luxurious than the palace… Haha…”

Luo Xiaoxue laughed awkwardly. If compared, the palace was indeed more luxurious.

“Maybe, I’ve never been to the palace either.”

Lin Nuo turned his head back and continued walking forward.

Luo Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, the conversation just now felt inexplicably heavy.

After walking through the corridor, Lin Nuo and the others arrived at a garden, where flowers were in full bloom, and many people were enjoying the flowers together.

“Nuo’er, what a coincidence.”

Lin Nuo ran into his father, Lin Yuan, who was accompanied by two middle-aged officials, enjoying the flowers together.

One of them, named Dai Sheng, noticed Luo Xiaoxue standing behind Lin Nuo and was greatly surprised:

“Prin…?!”

Luo Xiaoxue quickly shook her head, signaling Dai Sheng not to speak out.

Dai Sheng also realized and quickly shut his mouth. He had previously cooperated with Luo Xiaoxue and had seen her in disguise, but this time, Luo Xiaoxue’s visit to the Lin family mansion in disguise was beyond his expectations.

Why is the princess here?

Dai Sheng was a high-ranking official, loyal to the royal family, and flexible in handling matters. He would not casually reveal Luo Xiaoxue’s identity.

“Lord Dai?” Lin Yuan was puzzled.

“Ahem, just a bit of a cough, Lord Lin, please don’t mind.”

“Lord Dai is busy with affairs, you should also take care of your health.”

Lin Yuan kindly advised, then turned his attention to Lin Nuo:

“Nuo’er, is this your guest?”

“No, she is Luo Yi, representing the Luo family to attend the banquet, with an invitation.”

“Luo family? Which Luo family? Sorry, because there are too many invited families, I can’t remember for a moment.”

Lin Yuan asked in confusion.

“Hello, Uncle. Our Luo family is just a small family in Huangcheng. It’s understandable that you don’t know us, given your busy schedule.”

Luo Xiaoxue laughed. In fact, this small family did not exist, but considering the Lin family’s prestigious status, they would not specifically investigate a small family.

Lin Yuan felt a bit embarrassed and said:

“Alright, but since you are invited, our Lin family should entertain you. It was my oversight. I will arrange someone to entertain you now.”

“No need, Uncle. I’ll just follow Young Master Lin. He will entertain me.”

“I never said I would entertain you.” Lin Nuo directly refuted her words.

“Nuo’er, Miss Luo has come from afar, so please fulfill your duty as the host and entertain her.”

Lin Yuan said, thinking that this child really doesn’t know how to speak tactfully to a lady.

“By the way, Nuo’er, let me introduce you to Mr. Dai and Mr. Xu Xun. We were just talking about you.”

Lin Yuan gestured towards the two officials beside him. Lin Nuo glanced at them briefly. Xu Xun had a fat head, big ears, and a large belly, clearly enjoying a life of plenty.

As for the other one, Mr. Dai, his physique was completely different from Xu Xun’s, suggesting he was a diligent official.

“What is it?” Lin Nuo asked.

“This must be Mr. Lin Nuo. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”

Xu Xun greeted Lin Nuo repeatedly, making sure to show proper etiquette.

Xu Xun then restrained his politeness a bit and continued:

“Mr. Lin, I recently received news that the casino in Yugu Town collapsed. Upon investigation, I found out it was your doing.”

Lin Nuo was taken aback. Destroying a casino was a minor matter, he thought it wouldn’t spread, but he didn’t expect to encounter the corresponding official.

Can I get a break?

“A minor matter, not worth mentioning.”

“Mr. Lin is too modest. You have done a great service for the people. However, I have a small suggestion.”

Xu Xun paused and raised his voice deliberately:

“Not only did the casino collapse, but many houses were also destroyed. Whether they were gambling dens, gamblers, or ordinary citizens, they all lost their lives. Of course, Mr. Lin might have been forced to do so, but I still hope you can prioritize the people and minimize civilian casualties.

By the way, I heard that Mr. Lin is quite familiar with the rules of the casino, so you must frequent them. No one ever said that cultivators can’t enter casinos.

I speak frankly, and I hope Mr. Lin doesn’t mind. As a cultivator of Xuanyun Sect, you uphold justice and are a role model for everyone. However, I still hope you can lead by example.”

When Xu Xun spoke about Lin Nuo’s service to the people, his voice was very low. But when he mentioned the destruction and deaths, he raised his voice as if others couldn’t hear him.

Lin Nuo could tell this was intentional.

It was clear that the focus was not on praising his justice but on exposing his crimes of killing and destroying houses under the guise of a small suggestion.

Lin Nuo was wrong, thinking his merits would be publicized again.

This was actually a friendly fire!

If you can talk, then talk more. Truly talented, speaking so well.

Actually, he didn’t do it. After all, he was busy scraping with a member of the Dark Alliance for half a day, where would he have the strength? The civilians were killed by the Dark Alliance member.

As for the houses.

He didn’t know if they collapsed, but if they did, it was the Dark Alliance who did it.

Should he refute?

Refute what? This is great.

“Yes, yes, Mr. Xu is right.”

Lin Nuo hurriedly and warmly shook Xu Xun’s hand, smiling, “Indeed, it is my shortcoming. I did not lead by example, and I am truly ashamed.”

This action of Lin Nuo left Xu Xun dumbfounded.

No, this development seems off, right?

Shouldn’t you be refuting it? What’s the trick up your sleeve?

Luo Xiaoxue listened angrily. In fact, she was near Yugu Town at that time and had specifically inquired about this matter. The deceased was a gambler, but judging from the wounds, he was killed by the secret weapons of the Dark Alliance.

The collapse of the house was even more absurd. Only the small house next to it was slightly damaged, and there was no situation where a row of houses collapsed.

This is a villain, trying to slander Hero Lin.

However, in contrast, Hero Lin was broad-minded, not angry, not blaming, and not refuting. Instead, he humbly accepted and reflected on himself.

In front of the hero, the villain is as humble as an ant, small and ugly, not worth mentioning.

A hero should be like this, not blaming others, but first reflecting on oneself, being positive, and seeking progress.

Coming here this time has been truly rewarding.
