Chapter 154: Mugen Shinjin
Lu Chen glanced at the furious old man, then at the wine jar shattered into countless pieces on the ground. He sighed and said, “Senior, you’re being unreasonable here.”
The old man, still fuming, retorted, “Say what you have to say, quickly!”
Lu Chen quickly continued, “First, you told me earlier that as long as I drove away that Su Tong, I would be rewarded, not punished. You can’t just go back on your word. Second, all those insults just now were from that brainless Su family kid, not from me. You can’t take your anger out on me, can you?”
He looked at the old man and smiled, “Senior, am I right?”
The old man stared at him for a moment, and his previously angry expression suddenly softened, showing a hint of appreciation. He smiled and said, “You, boy, are quite interesting. It seems like you’ve already guessed my identity?”
Lu Chen replied, “Yes, I had some suspicions earlier, but I wasn’t sure. But now, I think I’ve got it.” Saying this, he bowed deeply and said seriously, “Greetings, Mugen Shinjin.”
Mugen Shinjin was the master of Su Qingjun, and one of the highly accomplished Yuanying masters of the Kunlun Sect. Moreover, he held another sensitive position as the leader of the Iron Faction within the Kunlun Sect, holding a very high status.
The old man clapped his hands and said, “Interesting! Tell me, how did you figure out my identity?”
Lu Chen respectfully replied, “I’ve heard that you have a fondness for good wine, and I’ve heard rumors about it before.”
