699 : Contract Problem

Chapter 699

Contract Problems
Translated by Jouissance of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Even though they were running very fast, the room Ling Xiao was doing secluded cultivation in still exploded in front of them.

The palace had seals everywhere, even in these small locked rooms. So when You XiaoMo saw the room destroyed, he went weak with fear. Before running over, they could already feel the extremely tumultuous spiritual energy, the violent pulsing comparable to when Lady Yin had self-destructed last time.

Lin Ming roared at the sky in anger. It was right in front of him, but he had been late just by a few steps. Unable to do anything but watch as this happened to his son, his despair and anger overflowed, enveloping him. Lin Gu had no expression, gazing at the collapsed room blankly.

That was when a displeased voice sounded from behind them. The voice was a little weak, but it was clear that the speaker was full of life and energy. “I’m not dead yet. Do you all want to cry over me so badly?”

Lin Ming and Lin Gu’s expressions went blank. These two intelligent men, who often displayed fox like cunning, were struck dumb in that moment. Though it was only a mere moment, it would be a stain of shame on their lives.

“You damn brat, are you trying to kill yourself? How dare you do something so dangerous? Do you realize what failure would mean for your cultivation level? You could’ve permanently crippled yourself!” Lin Ming quickly snapped out of his stupor, instantly starting to scold the other, spittle flying as he yelled.

Ling Xiao quickly backed away a few steps, avoiding getting spat on, but then bumped into someone. He immediately turned and grabbed the other, lifting him and throwing him to the ground.

You XiaoMo’s face was red in embarrassment. He had wanted to stop Ling Xiao from backing away, angry at the other for risking his own life, so he stood behind the other on purpose. Yet… he hadn’t managed to stop the other, instead getting thrown down.

“You alright?” Ling Xiao watched him with black eyes.

You XiaoMo: “…”

It felt like their lines should be swapped.

Lin Ming facepalmed. He suddenly felt like everything about his son-in-law being smart was all an illusion. Or, rather, his son-in-law’s smarts didn’t include when he was in front of Ling Xiao. He felt like he had found out the truth. You JunQi’s son was the passive one. Though his own son was the one in control, he wasn’t happy about it at all.

“You damn brat, don’t try and escape. What the hell was that just now?”

Ling Xiao side-eyed his father. “You already know.” Just now he had roared so loudly, clearly having figured everything out already. Who would believe this act of his?

Lin Ming didn’t fall for his tricks. “I wasn’t in that room. How would I know what you were doing in there? Don’t change the topic, there are others waiting for an explanation.”

Others referred to You XiaoMo and Lin Gu. The two stared at him.

Ling Xiao stated seriously and calmly, “I was experimenting. I just failed, that’s all. Who do you think I am? I wouldn’t joke with my own life.”

Lin Xiao was speechless at his reply, but it was true. That damn brat was smart. He wouldn’t endanger his own life like that, but what he had just done really was extremely dangerous. He didn’t really understand what the other was doing, but in that moment just now, he felt like something was shifting in the very earth and heavens. And then the room exploded.
