Chapter 2622 Ancestor Kun’s Life Bone
In his room, Lin Xun was sitting cross-legged with a frown on his face. Although the incident outside his door had been over with, he still felt that something was off about it.
Originally, he had been very close to come out to Runyue’s aid upon seeing Heng Xingwen slap her. After all, she had been attending to him. Besides, he was already grateful to Wanrou for taking him on this trip.
However, he had been just about to come out when he suddenly noticed a few odd details.
First of all, Heng Xingwen was an eighth realm supreme Emperor while Runyue was merely a normal sixth realm Emperor. If he really wanted to take her away, he was capable of doing that swiftly without making a single sound.
Despite that, he had done the exact opposite, raising a whole ruckus for everyone to know, and this was undoubtedly fishy.
In addition to that, the location where it had happened was also peculiar. As soon as Lin Xun got onboard, he had told Runyue that he didn't need any service while he was meditating in his room so she’d best not disturb him unless it was absolutely necessary.
Runyue had indeed done as instructed during the past dozen days since the ship had set off, not coming to disturb him at all. However, she had appeared right outside his room today after being targeted by Heng Xingwen.
While it made sense that she would want to seek help when encountering danger, shouldn’t the first person she turned to for help be Wanrou as the latter’s personal maid? Yet, she had appeared right before Lin Xun’s room...
The whole thing made him feel like they were putting on a show to catch his attention and get him to react. This was uncanny to say the least. Therefore, he had forcefully acted against the urge to help and watched with folded arms.
Currently, he was pondering whether the problem lay with Heng Xingwen or Runyue. Or maybe it was with both of them? Their act was clearly aiming at him, but what was their end goal in doing so? To test his true strength? To probe into his identity?
Lin Xun pondered for a long time and finally shook his head. Who cared what they were plotting or what kind of tricks they had up their sleeves? If they dared to openly mess with him, then he would just get rid of them!
As far as he was concerned, the only expert on this entire ship that needed to be taken seriously was the old man called Uncle Jiao. The rest could be ignored. Over the recent years, he had even killed immortal characters, so how could he waste his mental capacity on mere Emperors?
