After the young handyman Ling Yuan beat up those guys, he was so exhausted that his forehead and neck were covered in sweat. But Xia Lin could tell that the burden on his heart had lightened, and his eyes were shining brightly. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yun sealed the inner energy of those young men and then ordered someone to watch over them while they endured the punishment of jogging while insulting themselves.
After everything was over, Xia Lin finally heard the system say, [Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the task. Jiang Yun's blackening value has decreased by 6 points. The current blackening value is 67. Please continue to work hard, host.]
The blackening value was 67, and the affection value was 58. He hadn't been in this world for long, but he seemed to be completing the tasks quite quickly. However, there was still one thing that made Xia Lin rather frustrated, which was that he still hadn't discovered the reason why Jiang Yun had turned into the villainous big shot. In the previous first world, the big shot had been influenced by his grandfather, and in the second world, it was to inherit his father's property. What about this one? Could it also be because of his father?
But as the affection value increased, Xia Lin noticed that Jiang Yun's way of treating him had changed. If he had been like a son before, now he was more like... a lover.
Both Xia Lin and Jiang Yun were aware of this, but they tacitly didn't break through this layer of window paper.
However, Jiang Yun's possessiveness was really strong. After that time when he taught those overbearing disciples a lesson, Ling Yuan had become Xia Lin's personal servant. Xia Lin treated Ling Yuan better and was closer to him than Qiu Zi, the servant he had brought from the general's mansion.
One day, the two of them were playing around. Xia Lin was laughing heartily as he straddled Ling Yuan. "I'm a martial artist now. You can't beat me!"
When Jiang Yun came to find Xia Lin, this was the scene he saw. Xia Lin was straddling Ling Yuan, and their clothes were in a mess. Immediately, he felt unhappy, and his face darkened. "Xiaolinzi, get up. I have something to talk to you about."
Hearing Jiang Yun's voice, Xia Lin quickly got up from Ling Yuan and walked up to Jiang Yun. "Master, do you have something to tell your disciple?"
Actually, there was nothing. Jiang Yun just couldn't stand seeing his beloved disciple being so close to Ling Yuan: ……
Facing his beloved disciple's puzzled look, Jiang Yun calmly said, "It's almost the Mid - Autumn Festival. Do you want to go home for a visit?"
It would take nearly a month to travel back and forth. Xia Lin shook his head. "I won't go back. I'll go back for the New Year when there are about twenty days left before it. Master, can we stay at home for a month then?"
Jiang Yun stroked his head. "Of course. If I'm free, I can even take you to other places for fun."
"Great! Master, you're so good to me."
"Since you know I'm good to you, why don't you go and help bring your master's dinner over quickly."
Xia Lin was a bit stunned. "Having lunch so early today? Alright, I'm a bit hungry too. I'll go now!"
After sending Xia Lin away, Jiang Yun looked at Ling Yuan and thought to himself that Xiaolinzi was being too nice to this young man. He couldn't let him stay by Xia Lin's side any longer.
"Ling Yuan, would you like to learn martial arts with me and become my disciple?" Ling Yuan's eyes lit up, but after thinking for a while, he actually refused. "No, I still want to stay by Young Master Xia Lin's side to protect and take care of him!"
Bah, Xiaolinzi has Qiu Zi to take care of him and me to protect him. You're redundant. But of course, Jiang Yun wouldn't really say that. "Your current strength can't even match Xiaolinzi's. When danger comes, will you protect him or will he protect you?"
