The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 261



261. This Kid Has Moves (Third Update)

Following Hero Lin, there are new gains every day.

Being able to look past the slander of villains and humbly reflect on oneself, such magnanimity, such grandeur, is rare in the great country of Puhan.

The hero’s mind should be like this. In comparison, I still have a long way to go, and my state of mind needs to be further honed.

But humility aside, Hero Lin probably doesn’t want such villains to act recklessly all the time.

However, this villain is an official, and political matters are not for Hero Lin to handle.

So, I have a long way to go, feeling the heavy burden on my shoulders. This is the capital to match Hero Lin in the future.

Recalling before, Hero Lin mentioned the palace, seemingly unintentionally, but like intentionally.

Ordinary people wouldn’t compare the palace to a family mansion. Obviously, the palace is more luxurious than the Lin family mansion. Hero Lin must have his reasons.

The palace and the Lin family mansion, on the surface, are about decoration and architecture, but perhaps they imply other things?

Yes, it must contain some information, not explicitly stated, as if letting her understand it herself.

Could it be that the mention of the palace was intentional, knowing her identity? Hinting at her?

Knowing she is a princess, then deliberately catering, pretending not to know, and then introducing this place to her in a very ordinary tone and manner?

Let her observe everything here as a bystander, the ugliness of these little people, the sinister hearts, and then decide for herself how to purify this political arena.

For someone as profound and unpredictable as Master Lin, this seems reasonable.

Hmm, it seems I understand my task here now.

Perhaps I have already been bearing Master Lin’s expectations without realizing it, but I was just slow to realize.

Xu Xun’s deliberately raised voice had been heard by the people nearby.

Of course, their initial reaction was to condemn the Xuan Yun Sect cultivators for killing innocents and frequenting casinos.

However, knowing one’s mistakes and correcting them is a great virtue. In fact, when cultivators go out on missions, it’s hard to ensure they won’t accidentally harm others. The key is the attitude.

Many cultivators have an arrogant attitude, thinking they are superior because they are sect cultivators, and they won’t listen to such opinions, even coming up with various reasons to refute them.

But Lin Nuo had none of this behavior. He accepted it sincerely and humbly. Whether he would change or not, this humble and sincere attitude made people feel comfortable.

Xu Xun had openly mentioned Lin Nuo’s previous unintentional wrongdoings, worrying that it might affect the Lin family’s reputation. Plus, Lin Nuo’s cold attitude after returning, not admitting his mistakes and even refuting, would worsen the situation.

However, Lin Nuo sincerely admitted his mistakes. Judging by the expressions of the people nearby, the situation didn’t seem so bad.

Lin Nuo shook hands with Xu Xun to show goodwill, and Xu Xun felt he had miscalculated.

He thought Lin Nuo would refute, and the more he covered up, the worse it would get. But Lin Nuo directly admitted his mistakes!

This kid, he knows how to handle things. Knowing that refuting would tarnish his reputation, he directly admitted his mistakes, humbly accepted, and sincerely apologized, reversing the situation.

Originally, everyone would focus on this kid, but with this move, everyone’s attention shifted to Xu Xun.

They would definitely think he was deliberately causing trouble, being petty, and pointing out others’ shortcomings in front of so many people, which was impolite.

Good fellow, you just wait.

“Alright, alright, I’m honored that Young Master Lin can accept my little suggestion. I hope Young Master Lin has a bright future. I just remembered I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”

“Leaving already? I have other shortcomings, you can continue to point them out. Which room are you staying in? I’ll come by to listen.”

“No need, Young Master Lin has done very well, no other shortcomings.”

Xu Xun smiled awkwardly. What’s wrong with this kid? I’m not even criticizing you anymore, and you’re still asking for it?

Are you really trying to reinforce your image of correcting mistakes and humbly accepting them?

Dream on, there’s no way I’ll let you succeed.

Xu Xun’s plan to slander Lin Nuo failed, and he was put in a disadvantageous position, so he retreated.

Lin Nuo thought he should chat with this guy more in the future. Maybe this guy could expose all his wrongdoings.

This person really understands things.

While Lin Nuo was chatting with Xu Xun, the high-ranking official serving the royal family, Dai Sheng, had already gone to talk with Luo Xiaoxue.

“Your Highness…”

“Call me Luo Yi, Lord Dai.”

“Then Luo Yi, why are you here?”

“Attending the Lin family’s grand celebration is also a kind of experience.”

“Luo Yi, you’re wise.”

“Oh, where’s the wisdom? By the way, that Xu Xun just now, you need to keep an eye on him. After the Lin family’s grand celebration, you should demote him by two ranks. If he continues to slander Hero Lin, keep demoting him until he’s removed from office.”

“Luo Yi, isn’t that a bit too impulsive?”

“Not impulsive. Such a person cannot hold a high position. Demote him first, and then see how he performs. Also, pay attention to who he associates with; someone might be instigating him.”

“Alright, I understand.”

In just a few words, Luo Xiaoxue gave clear instructions. She felt that Xu Xun was problematic and decided to thoroughly investigate his contributions. If he had none, then he was unfit for his position and must be removed.

Hero Lin has high expectations of me. From now on, purifying the political environment is urgent.

Xu Xun will be the first to be dealt with, as a warning to others.

Luo Xiaoxue returned to Lin Nuo’s side, and Lin Nuo asked:

“Do you know Lord Dai?”

“Yes, my father has some connections with Lord Dai. We just chatted a bit, nothing major. Where are we going next?”

“Do we have a destination? Let’s just wander around.”

With that, Lin Nuo started walking again, and Luo Xiaoxue quickly followed.

Dai Sheng looked on in surprise. The noble princess of the great Puhan Kingdom was following that young man named Lin Nuo like a servant.

Previously, the princess had mentioned that this young man indeed had extraordinary qualities.

However, predicting the fall of a meteorite and leading the enemy troops to the impact zone seemed a bit far-fetched.

The impact zone was very large, and it might have just been luck, which is hard to explain.

He hoped the princess wouldn’t blindly worship him, but also didn’t want her to miss out on a truly talented man.

The great Puhan Kingdom was facing many disasters. If Lin Nuo truly had real talent, it would be a great blessing for the kingdom.

…

After wandering for a while, Lin Nuo and Luo Xiaoxue reached mealtime and went to eat, only to find that the flamboyant Zhou Hui had arrived and was arranged to sit at the same table.

“What bad luck, seeing you everywhere. Oh well, since I’m here, I’ll just accept the Lin family’s arrangement.” Zhou Hui sighed.

“Full.”

Lin Nuo lost his appetite upon seeing Zhou Hui. He immediately got up and left before even warming his seat.

Luo Xiaoxue had no choice but to follow.

Just as Lin Nuo was about to walk out the door, he encountered a cold-looking silver-haired girl coming in.
