Chapter 814 - 819: The Ill-Tempered Elder (Part 2)
Chapter 814: Chapter 819: The Ill-Tempered Elder (Part 2)
Originally, only a few people noticed Avril Jolie and William, but when William exclaimed, almost everyone’s attention shifted over.
Avril Jolie was just an ordinary person, so she didn’t feel anything!
However, William felt a chill all over his body, and even a trickle of cold sweat ran down his forehead.
At his level of strength, although he couldn’t immediately assess someone’s specific strength like Lin Xi, he could still sense some things.
Apart from those two young people, among the remaining sixteen, four had an aura similar to his, which meant that they were at least at the level of a Peak Soldier King!
The most crucial part was those two elderly men, who gave him a sense of hair-raising fear.
It felt like encountering a natural enemy, an irresistible feeling.
What kind of strength is this?
In his entire life, it was the first time he had encountered such people.
The remaining ten had auras somewhat weaker than his, but a few weren’t much weaker.
Judging roughly, all sixteen were at the level of Soldier Kings, with two perhaps even beyond that; isn’t that a bit too exaggerated!
In Huaxia, are Soldier Kings everywhere?
Or could it be that this group is an official team from Huaxia?
But based on their clothing and demeanor, they didn’t seem like it.
Fortunately, after giving him a glance, the group acted as if he didn’t exist and shifted their gaze curiously back to Lin Xi.
After all, Zhao Ritian had bragged about Lin Xi all the way from Beijing on the chartered plane!
The most critical part was that his third grandfather didn’t refute it.
This made everyone very curious about how impressive this man could be. Was he an old master?
But now, upon seeing, they were somewhat disappointed to find that he was just a young man!
So young, what kind of strength could he have?
They should know that apart from Zhao Ritian and Zhu Qi, the others in this group were all older than thirty-five.
After all, achieving the rank of a Soldier King is not easy; it requires both talent and a certain level of accumulation.
Moreover, each of them was a battle-hardened warrior.
Therefore, almost half of them didn’t pay much attention to Lin Xi, thinking that Zhao Ritian was simply bragging as usual.
At this moment, Zhao Ritian secretly gave Lin Xi a thumbs up and whispered, "Bro, could you teach me how to pick up girls?"
He was immensely curious because such a beautiful foreign girl like Avril Jolie ended up with Lin Xi in the same car!
There’s no need to say it, but this foreign girl, no, she must be his foreign sister-in-law.
Thus, his heart was full of admiration for Lin Xi, even more than for his skills.
Every time he met Lin Xi, there was always an incredibly beautiful woman by his side, and they each had different styles!
It made him extremely envious!
So if he could learn a trick or two, he wouldn’t still be single!
Lin Xi shook his head, "Do you believe that she’s my teacher?"
Zhao Ritian also shook his head, "I don’t believe it!"
"Well, suit yourself!" Lin Xi didn’t waste any words and walked past him directly, looking at his third grandfather, saying, "Elder Zhao, it looks like you guys are determined this time!"
Elder Zhao laughed modestly, "Not at all, it also depends on luck!"
But clearly, from his expression, he was determined to win!
However, another elder suddenly snorted coldly, "Of course we’re determined to win, does that even need to be asked?"
The tone made it clear he was unfriendly towards Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was taken aback; he wondered why this old man had such resentment towards him when he hadn’t offended him.
So this time, he glanced at the elder with a not-so-good demeanor and asked Elder Zhao, "Elder Zhao, who is this?"
Elder Zhao also looked a bit awkward because being unfriendly to Lin Xi was somewhat a slap to his own face, but this brother from the Zhu family always had such a bad temper, and he had no way to handle it!
"I forgot to introduce you, this is Elder Zhu!" Elder Zhao said with a bitter smile, "Don’t mind him, that’s how his temper is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Zhu sneered disdainfully, clearly not giving any face to Elder Zhao.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ritian and Zhu Qi immediately came over, attempting to ease the atmosphere. After all, since they hadn’t witnessed Lin Xi’s true strength, feeling resistance or bad emotions was understandable.
Lin Xi also snorted coldly; in his perspective, so what if you are in the Innate Realm!
If you don’t show me respect, why should I show you respect!
As if I’m afraid of you!
To tell the truth, he wasn’t really afraid of this Elder Zhu before him!
If it truly came down to a fight, he might not lose!
After Lin Xi coldly snorted, Elder Zhu’s face darkened instantly, and the aura around him became somewhat intimidating!
In such a situation, Elder Zhao immediately stepped between the two, while Zhu Qi quickly said, "Everyone, get in the car right away, we need to depart immediately!"
"Otherwise, the people there might have opened the mechanism already!"
As soon as he said this, his grandfather’s dark face turned somewhat anxious, prompting him urgently, "Then hurry up and go!"
Zhao Ritian echoed, "Go, go, go, go!"
After that, seven Hummers set off from the gate of Jiangnan University, heading for the small town by the ancient mine.
In the car, after being informed by William, Avril Jolie finally realized the intimidating presence of the group earlier.
So at this moment, her face didn’t look too good!
Originally, she thought that even if there were powerful individuals at the ancient mine, she had a strong ally and Lin Xi to at least gain insight even if they didn’t obtain anything.
If luck was on their side, they might get some gains.
In such a place, obtaining something would at least cover her previous costs.
But now she realized this was something she couldn’t meddle with!
Given the current situation, she knew there were many powerful individuals; just a few could plunge her and William into a deadly trap!
Wait, wait!
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, her face looked a lot better!
No need to worry, wasn’t Lin Xi beside her?
Moreover, just now, even though part of the group wasn’t friendly to Lin Xi, several key figures seemed very concerned about him.
They mistook her for Lin Xi’s person, so even if she ventured into the ancient mine, while they might not necessarily protect her, they likely wouldn’t go against her.
With this in mind, she suddenly felt much safer.
Looks like hiring Lin Xi paid off!
After about an hour and a half, the road wasn’t so smooth anymore as the vehicle began to pitch up and down significantly at times.
However, except for Avril Jolie, the others didn’t feel anything because such terrain meant nothing to individuals of their caliber!
Avril Jolie’s face didn’t look too good, but Lin Xi noticed her amazing willpower and self-control as she forced herself not to complain or ask William to stop so she could vomit for a while.
Just half an hour later, they drove straight to the exterior of the ancient mine.
This time, unlike last time, they didn’t have to secretly observe from a hidden spot since they believed that with their current strength, they feared no one!
