"That guest is the leader of the Xiaoshan Sect. As for how powerful he is, he must rank among the top five in the world!"
Hearing this, Xia Lin thought to himself that the villainous big shot in this world was so powerful. However, that seemingly gentle man just now actually had a darkening value of 78.
"Father, how did you get to know such a powerful martial arts expert?"
The general showed a nostalgic look and recalled, "Because your father was a sworn friend of the previous leader of the Xiaoshan Sect. He was seven years older and took care of your father like a younger brother. If it weren't for him, your father wouldn't have achieved what he has today or mastered the skills he has. After he passed away, of course I had to take care of his chief disciple."
"So that's how it is. No wonder you attach so much importance to this guest, Father."
Hearing this, the general glared at Xia Lin again and said, "Now that you know I seriously injured this guest, just be a good boy for your father and don't go bothering the guest!"
Xia Lin stood up. "Okay, okay, I know. You've said this several times, Father. Sometimes you're even more long - winded than Mother!"
The general was so angry that his beard fluttered and his eyes bulged. "You naughty boy, how dare you talk back! It's all your fault that I'm so angry!" With that, he pretended to hit Xia Lin, and Xia Lin quickly ran away.
It was impossible for Xia Lin not to bother the guest, never! Right after he came into contact with the villainous big shot, the system immediately issued a task. 【Ding~ New task: Make the acquaintance of Jiang Yun. Task reward: Gain Jiang Yun's favor. Failure penalty: Be confined for three days】
Being confined meant staying alone for three days without any entertainment. It would be so boring. Usually, he could play with the cats or watch cockfights. If he was confined, it would be extremely dull. So he must complete the task!
With this in mind, Xia Lin tried to approach Jiang Yun that very night. His footsteps couldn't escape Jiang Yun's ears at all. The man in the room let out a chuckle and said, "Could there be a little mouse around?"
Knowing that he had been discovered, Xia Lin knocked on the door openly and shouted, "I'm not a mouse! Can I come in and visit you?"
After a while, the door opened. The man, who was a full head taller than Xia Lin, looked down at him and said, "Second Young Master, may I ask what you want from me?"
Xia Lin shook his head. "Don't call me Second Young Master. Just call me by my name, Xia Lin. Hello, I'd like to get to know you!"
Interesting. This second young master of the general's mansion was really interesting. Jiang Yun watched as Xia Lin ate the late - night snack prepared for him by the general's mansion in his room.
"Now that we're acquainted, what's next?"
In response to Jiang Yun's question, Xia Lin nodded. "Yes, we're acquainted now. The next step is for you to be my master?"
"What?" Jiang Yun said with a wry smile. "Second Young Master, are you joking? Why should I be your master?"
Xia Lin waved his hand. "Stop referring to yourself so humbly. Your status is clearly higher than mine and you're older than me. Just say 'I' directly."
"Fine. But why should I be your master? We've just met."
Xia Lin also thought he was being a bit unreasonable. But becoming Jiang Yun's disciple was, on the one hand, a new task issued by the system, and on the other hand, he wanted to learn more about Jiang Yun in this way.
As a martial artist of the righteous faction in the martial world and a highly - praised martial arts expert, why did he have such a high darkening value? There must be many secrets hidden about Jiang Yun! Only by knowing his secrets could Xia Lin do the tasks more effectively.
