Chapter Thirty-Four: The Little Beggar

  This time Tong Yu was completely infuriated, as a teacher of the college, usually, whether it's teachers or students, when they see her, they are all polite and respectful, even the principal wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

  But who is this person in front of me?

  Calling black white and calling yin yang, reversing yin and yang. If she can still tolerate it like this, then she is not a college teacher.

  If the other party was an ordinary student, she wouldn't dare to use her attribute power. After all, the attribute power of a congenital martial artist was extremely powerful, and ordinary people couldn't withstand it at all. Even if they were martial guests, they still couldn't withstand the attribute power of a congenital martial artist.

  However, the opponent was Lin Yun, a person who had killed a first-class spiritual beast, the Ice Fire Giant Python, and had also obtained two different attribute ultimate techniques. It was precisely because of this that Tong Yu dared to release her attribute power, because she knew that the attribute power she used would not hurt the opponent at all.

  As for Lin Yun, he didn't plan to entangle with the beautiful teacher anymore. After all, it wouldn't be good if either of them got hurt. He chuckled and suddenly kicked his right foot, spinning in mid-air and giving her a flying kiss before quickly leaving.

  Seeing Lin Yun had left, Tong Yu stomped her foot in anger, her face still flushed red. Her mind kept replaying what had just happened, especially the other person's body. What was she thinking? She scolded herself harshly and didn't continue to stay there because as soon as she saw the thatched cottage in front of her, she would believe what had just happened.

  Leaving the college, Lin Yun headed towards the city center. Although he knew clearly in his heart that Mei'er might have already left Lei Feng City, his worried thoughts kept urging him on, holding onto the idea of trying his luck, and preparing to take a good look around Lei Feng City again.

  Walking on the streets of Thunder City, Lin Yun looked left and right, scanning everywhere for Mei's figure, but the result was still as usual. He let out a sigh in his heart, it seemed that Mei had really left Thunder City. And even if he wanted to go out and find Mei, it wouldn't be easy to find someone in the vast crowd of people.

  Without continuing to search, Lin Yun prepared to return to the academy. At this time, a sudden commotion came from not far away, and with curiosity in his heart, he quickly went towards the place where the commotion was coming from.

  In front of a vendor selling steamed buns, a beggar clutched several big white steamed buns in his hand, glaring angrily at the vendor and said viciously: "It's just a few steamed buns, isn't it? Wait till I have money, I'll pay you back double."

  "Hmph, double the amount back to me? What makes you think you can, you're just a thoroughgoing stinking beggar, with no guarantee of your next meal. Damn it, I've already broken the legs of several beggars in the past few days, do you want to try too?"

  The hawker swung his fists, not caring whether the beggar had money or not, and was about to hit him hard when Lin Yun, who had been watching the scene, suddenly moved and grabbed the hawker's left arm, pulling him back with a light tug.

  "Who the hell are you? How dare you interfere," when the vendor turned his head to look at the person who stopped him, it was just a young man under twenty years old. His face suddenly became furious, especially after seeing the tattered clothes on the boy's body. In an instant, the vendor had already determined that this time another beggar had appeared.

  "You stinky want rice, originally you still have a helper, but I tell you, don't think that with two of you, I will let you off, today if you don't return the steamed bun money, humph."

  As they watched this scene, all around them were voices of discussion, some sympathetic, some contemptuous, and some disgusted. Anyway, among so many people, there was not a single person who would stand up to say another word.

  He took out a few copper coins from inside, Lin Yun was too lazy to bother with this small peddler, and pulled up the little beggar who was sitting on the ground, ignoring the various gazes of the crowd around him. The two quickly disappeared from view in the sea of people.

  A medium-sized restaurant, Lin Yun ordered six or seven dishes, a pot of wine, and sat face to face with the little beggar to eat. This time, he helped the little beggar not because his heart was good, but because it reminded him of some of his past experiences.

  Lin Yun knew in her heart that there were too many unfair things in this world. If she wanted to take care of them, even if she worked herself to death, she wouldn't be able to keep up.

  Today, seeing the little beggar being humiliated, Lin Yun couldn't control himself. The little beggar reminded him of his own past. Back on Earth, he was a complete orphan from childhood, with no parents, living in a garbage dump, and relying on picking up trash to fill his stomach every day. Sometimes when he was extremely hungry, he would run out to steal someone's steamed buns to eat, but often ended up being beaten until his head was bloody.

  So this time, when Lin Yun saw the little beggar, he thought of his own bitter days from childhood to adulthood. Looking at the little beggar wolfing down various dishes, for some reason, he felt a warmth in his heart.

  "Why aren't you eating?"

  The little beggar had clear and bright eyebrows, with various black marks on his face, but his body was very slender, just like a woman's delicate willow waist.

  "I've had enough to eat, you take your time eating, I still have things to attend to, the money has been paid, you take your time eating," Lin Yun said as he stood up and prepared to leave. This encounter with the little beggar was just a brief meeting, and looking at the sky, dusk was falling, he should also return to the academy.

  "Wait a minute, you've helped me this time, but I don't even know your name. Who are you? Where do you live? What do you do? I don't know any of these things. How am I supposed to repay you in the future?"

  Return the money? After taking a look at the little beggar's outfit from head to toe, Lin Yun just smiled and said: "No need to return it, just one meal."

  As he spoke, Lin Yun's figure quickly disappeared into the restaurant, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone. The little beggar's eyes suddenly shot out a strange light as he looked at the already vanished boy, tilted his head in thought, seemingly thinking of something, then lowered his head again to continue eating voraciously.

  Leaving the inn, Lin Yun had already forgotten everything that had just happened in his mind, and rushed to the college at full speed. However, he hadn't gone far when a short and unremarkable young man blocked his way.

  Seeing this person intercepting himself, Lin Yun asked somewhat puzzled: "Do you have something to find me?"

  "Are you Lord Lin Yun?"

  Mr. Lin Yun?

  When he heard the other party calling him Lord Lin Yun, Lin Yun instantly knew the other party's identity. After all, only one organization would call him "Lord", and that was the Dragon Alliance Intelligence Organization.

  The last time the Lord of Tianfa City, he made a first-class merit, and he was also a Phantom person, so the Intelligence Division directly changed his Yellow Grade One Star to Xuan Grade One Star, which is the first time in the history of the Long Alliance Intelligence Organization.

  "Yes, what can I help you with?"

  "Master Phantom is waiting for you at Qian Lai Ke, let's go immediately."

  Phantom Lord? Qian Lai Inn?

  When Lin Yun heard that Master Phantom was looking for him, his heart skipped a beat. After all, Master Phantom represented the intelligence division of the Dragon Alliance organization, and it wouldn't be anything good if he was being looked for.

  What made Lin Yun puzzled was that Phantom had just left Tianfa City a few days ago, how could he come back so quickly? Had something happened? As a member of the Dragon Alliance, Lin Yun knew that he had an obligation to fulfill, so without any hesitation, he followed the young man all the way to Qianlai Inn.

  Money Inn, inside the secret room.

  "Phantom Lord, you've returned to Tianfa City this time, don't tell me something's happened?"

  Nodding, the Phantom's face didn't show any unusual expression, just like a normal person, and said: "This time I returned to Tianfa City, there is indeed something very important. The matter of the previous lord of Tianfa City, we have already investigated clearly."

  As expected, Lin Yun had already guessed the reason for Phantom's return to Tianfa City. After all, what else could bring Phantom back to Tianfa City besides the previous matter of the city lord? The only thing he didn't know was what exactly happened with the city lord.

  This time, Gu Tian killed Ye Xuan and impersonated the lord of Tianfa City for a reason. He also wanted to know the reason behind it, because only by knowing everything can he help Mei Er avenge her, and only after avenging her can he eliminate Mei Er's worries in his heart, so that Mei Er can return to his arms again.

  "Phantom-sama, may I ask about this matter?"

  "Of course, if I didn't tell you why I wanted to find you, this time Gu Tian killed Ye Xuan and became the lord of Heaven's Punishment City just for a treasure that is about to be unearthed in Heaven's Punishment City. Only a few people know this news, we spent all our efforts to get it."

  "Phantom Lord, I want to know now, who exactly is this Kouta?"

  As for what treasure was unearthed, Lin Yun was interested, but compared to Gu Tian's identity, he was even more interested in Gu Tian's identity.

  "Kota's identity? You're my person, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Kota is a member of the Shadow Gate sect, which has a relatively high status in the Dark Empire in central mainland. The treasure unearthed from Tianfa City this time was obtained by a senior member of the Shadow Gate sect years ago, but its location had always been unknown until three years ago when the Shadow Gate suddenly received accurate information that the treasure was indeed hidden within Tianfa City. That's why Kota entered Tianfa City to investigate and gather information about the treasure's location."

  The Shadow Gate of the Central Dark Empire?

  As for the situation on the mainland, Lin Yun knew a bit about it. The mainland was divided into five major regions: east, south, west, north, and central. These were the Dragon Empire in the east, the Heavenly Dragon Territory in the west, the Great Plains in the south, the Great Ocean in the north, and the Dark Empire in the center. It could be said that the mainland was in a state of three-legged balance, with the three major empires having roughly equal strength. They had been at war for years, with hundreds of millions or tens of millions of people dying on the battlefield every year. Therefore, the relationship between the three major empires was not very good.
