Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Young Master Lin had a single given name, Lin. He was one of the leading figures in the youth generation of the Lu Clan and had overwhelming talents. He was already at the Heaven Monarch Realm at the age of 21. He had recently been in seclusion for a year, had comprehended yet another middle-grade dao pattern, and had incredible speed in cultivation. He had been acknowledged as one of the five successors of the Lu Clan by those elders, and if he didn’t have bad moral conduct, he would already have been appointed as the Young Clan head.

Young Lady Yu and Young Master Lin were cousin siblings, and she was entirely worthy to be the no.1 young lady of the Lu Clan. Her father was the Lu Clan’s current Clan Head, Lu Xun, and the future Clan Patriarch. Lu Xun only had one daughter, and Lu Yu’s innate talent was rather competent—while her looks and temperament were of the top class. She, the daughter of the future Clan Patriarch, was definitely worthy to be the Lu Clan’s no.1 young lady.

These two blue-blood nobilities had both been in seclusion recently and had both just exited from their seclusion. The two of them had more or less made some progress and had decided to come out to relieve their boredom. As for why would they come to Sky Thunder Island, this question would be for… Lu Di!

After the Black Wind Legion had been eradicated by Jiang Yi, Lu Di decided to come up with another plan and decided to get someone to do his dirty work. This Young Master Lin was the one who would do it. A pity that when Lu Di returned to the White Dragon City, he realized that Young Master Lin had been in seclusion and had only exited recently. This was why Young Master Lin took such a long time before arriving.

Young Master Lin started to scan around once he entered, and he had immediately found Jiang Xiaonu. Just from this point, it was obvious that he had come prepared; and the moment he saw Jiang Xiaonu, he felt that he didn’t come in vain. Lu Di didn’t cheat him as Jiang Xiaonu was truly a top-class beauty and… of a special race.

Lu Yu’s eyes were also attracted towards Feng Luan and Jiang Xiaonu. More often than not, similarly outstanding beauties would pay extra attention to ladies who were on the same level as them. However, her eyes were quickly drawn over by Jiang Yi as it was a type of strength and charm to be able to possess three such bewitching beauties.

Jiang Yi didn’t disappoint her. After the reformation from the Destitute Dragon Grass, Jiang Yi had skin that would even make women envious. His had a flawless figure and was even more appealing than Young Master Lin.

Most importantly, it was his aura. Jiang Yi had a young and handsome appearance but had this middle-aged man’s experienced presence. This itself was a contradiction which was like a poison that deeply attracted Lu Yu.

It was a pity that Jiang Yi’s appearance strength was too weak and only at the fifth stage of the Vajra Realm. Furthermore, Jiang Yi didn’t have any fame and didn’t look familiar, which obviously meant that he wasn’t from any great clan. Thus, Lu Yu only took a few glances before she disregarded him. If one didn’t have strength or background—no matter how handsome he was, he would only be a display vase.

Young Master Lin took a few glances at Jiang Xiaonu and quickly regained his composure, and it seemed like the Lu Clan—which was one of the 13 Clans—had quite the upbringing. Young Master Lin let out a faint smile and elegantly turned towards Lu Ping and laughed while speaking, “Aunt Lu, are you not going to introduce me to your Sky Thunder City’s talents and beauties?”

Lu Ping revealed a smear of helplessness as she gave Jiang Yi an eye signal and smiled while introducing. “These are Sky Thunder City’s Commander Lu Pu… Commander Lu Feng. Young Master Lin, this person is even your lineage’s. This is Lone Wolf, also known as Chief Jiang, the representative of the city’s slaves. This is Young Lady Feng Luan, Young Lady Qing Yu, who are both Chief Jiang’s concubines. This is Young Lady Jiang Xiaonu, and… she is Lone Wolf’s younger sister!”

When Lu Ping introduced an individual, that person would bow with cupped hands, but when introducing Feng Luan, Jiang Xiaonu, and Qing Yu, Young Master Lin bowed first instead and greeted. “Young Lady Feng, Young Lady Qing, Young Lady Jiang, I am Lu Lin; and it is an honor to know all of you.”

The trio’s expression changed slightly while Jiang Xiaonu’s jade face turned cold. This Young Master Lin actually ignored Jiang Yi and directly spoke to the three of them. He had humiliated Jiang Yi, and the trio wasn’t happy.

Jiang Yi smiled lightly and gave the trio an eye signal. Lu Ping had already given him several eye signals for him to endure tonight no matter what happened. The three ladies had no choice but to restrain their anger while Feng Luan spoke indifferently, “It is us—sisters’ honor to know Young Master Lin.”

Young Master Lin bowed slightly in response and was rather graceful in his bearing. Lu Ping ended the conversation and spoke, “Young Master Lin, Young Lady Yu, please take your seats and have a taste of our Sky Thunder Island’s special delicacies and fine wine.”

“Hahaha, many thanks, Aunt Lu.”

Lu Lin let out loud laughter and walked towards the host seat together with Lu Yu and a group of guards. The two of them then sat down on the purple-gold platform while the guards sat at the purple-gold platforms behind them.

After Lu Ping sat at a purple-gold platform on the right side of the host seat, she beckoned her hand for the alluring ladies to start their dancing in the middle of the hall. With the musicians at the corner and aromatic incense in the hall, it looked like quite a decent banquet.

Lu Ping smiled from ear to ear as she raised up to give a toast. “Come, come. Let us toast to Young Master Lin and Young Lady Yu. The arrival of these two will bring light to our humble Sky Thunder City!”

Lu Lin didn’t put on any airs and rose up to respond with respect. “Aunt Lu is too polite. Many thanks to everyone for your hard work in guarding Sky Thunder City. After I return to the clan, I will surely report to the clan’s elder hall and recommend for your promotions.”

Lu Lin finished his drink in a single gulp while Lu Yu took a reserved sip. Jiang Yi’s expression maintained this faint smile as it was unknown if he was pleased or angered. Even when Lu Lin had been staring straight at Jiang Xiaonu, he didn’t reveal any strange expressions. He knew clearly that… he couldn’t afford to provoke this Young Master Lin. As long as he didn’t go over the limit, Jiang Yi couldn’t be disrespectful.

Feng Luan and the two other ladies didn’t have any pleasant expressions as they remained emotionless and lowered their heads to eat the delicacies. Lu Lin had been toasting on the other side and drinking nonstop with the various commanders while Lu Yu had been looking around, and it was unknown what was she thinking.

“Chief Jiang. Come, let me toast you!”

Suddenly, Lu Lin raised his cup towards Jiang Yi from a distance and even used formalities. Everyone present got a shock while Jiang Yi let out a faint smile and rose up to reply, “Young Master Lin is too polite. Just call me Lone Wolf. This toast is also from Lone Wolf to Young Master Lin.”

“Hahaha!”

Lu Lin laughed heartily with extraordinary manners as he looked at Jiang Yi with admiration and said, “A hero at such a young age. Chief Jiang is so young and could already represent the Sky Thunder City’s slaves. It is needless to say that you definitely have something special about you. Lin is fond of making friends with heroes like you. In the future, Chief Jiang can go and establish yourself in the White Dragon City. Lin will surely do everything to contribute to you.”

“Uh…”

The whole crowd was bewildered. Lu Lin, who had such status, was actually so polite to Jiang Yi and even stately openly that he would support Jiang Yi? For him to develop in White Dragon City?

Lu Lin was one of the most exceptional young masters of the Lu Clan’s youth generation, and his authority wasn’t something Lu Ping could compare with. The strongest guard behind him and Lu Yu was at the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm, and it was imaginable how significant his position in the Lu Clan was.

If things seemed strange, there must be a hidden agenda!

Jiang Yi was indeed a talent, but apart from the people in Sky Thunder City, no one knew about his peculiarity. Since this was the case, why was Lu Lin treating Jiang Yi with such manners?

The answer was obvious. Lu Lin was drawing out his bait for the bigger fish. He had a hidden agenda for this toast. He wanted Jiang Yi’s woman!

Jiang Yi let out a light smile and drank his all the wine in a single gulp before he replied Lu Lin with a calm expression, “Many thanks for Young Master Lin’s appreciation. Lone Wolf doesn’t have such a big ambition. The White Dragon City has a crowd of experts, and if Lone Wolf is to go there, I will probably have to beg for food. I shall continue to make my living in Sky Thunder City. Of course, Lone Wolf will engrave Young Master Lin’s passionate invitation in my heart.”

“Uh…”

The atmosphere was getting awkward. Jiang Yi spoke beautifully, but his intention was obvious: ‘You want my woman? No way.’

Lu Lin laughed while Lu Yu had looked over and revealed a strange expression. The guards behind them had cold light flashing in their eyes as Jiang Yi didn’t even try to put on a show and directly rejected on the spot. Wasn’t he giving any face to Young Master Lin? Didn’t he know how to appreciate favors?

Young Master Lin didn’t drink the wine in his cup as he suddenly sat down. He had this resplendent smile as he said, “Everyone has their own ambitions. There is no use trying if it is not meant to be. Lin has to express my regret. I hope that Chief Jiang will be able to live for a hundred years…”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Feng Luan and the ladies’ expression immediately altered as their eyes were filled with anger. Lu Lin’s intention to threaten and his curse were too obvious. With Jiang Yi’s current strength, he could live up to two hundred years old easily. Yet, Lu Lin said to live for a hundred years?
