Chapter 1528: Chapter 1522: Your Elder (Part 2)

It’s just that, we haven’t been in touch for a long time.

But one thing’s certain: as soon as he wants to reach her, he can get through in an instant.

And if anything happens to him, that girl will go all out for him.

After all, that’s a friendship forged over more than a year in the mixed-chaos region.

Besides, he’s the captain of their team, the core figure.

Every member admires him like crazy.

And it’s exactly because of him that the Dark Night Mercenary Corps managed to make a huge name for themselves in the chaotic region.

You could say they’re feared wherever they go.

Zhu Ying usually stays quiet without saying much.

Obviously, Lin Xi was pissed.

And she wasn’t wrong.

If she got harassed like that, she’d be furious too.

Let alone Lin Xi.

His temper... seems like he’s just naturally not that good with strangers.

That’s when it comes to people he doesn’t know.

When it’s people he’s familiar with, or women like her, Lin Xi’s temper suddenly becomes ridiculously good.

He just likes messing with people too much.

Making them blush and all that.

After Lin Xi’s round of warnings, the other end of the line went dead silent.

Like the guy had been cussed into a daze?

Just as he was about to hang up, a roar blasted from the phone.

Even Lin Hao, who was already a fair distance away, could practically hear that roar.

Let alone Zhu Ying, who was standing right next to him.

Lin Xi’s reaction was even stronger.

He instinctively moved the phone a bit farther from his ear.

That voice practically pierced right through.

Even though he was already at mid-Innate stage, his ears still throbbed faintly with pain.

"Little brat?" Zhu Ying muttered under her breath.

Farther away, Lin Hao also silently repeated it in his mind.

Right.

The roar was: "You little bastard, you even dare hang up on me? Your guts got fat, or is your skin itching?"

That line?

Clearly someone who knows Lin Xi.

And knows him very well.

Most likely an elder.

A scammer?

Definitely not.

But!!!!

Even if he’s an elder.

He dares curse Lin Xi like that?

You have to know, Lin Xi’s already a mid-Innate powerhouse.

This?

Who’s on the other end?

To be able to roar like that.

And judging from Lin Xi’s expression, he didn’t seem angry at all.

This?

Who exactly is the guy on the phone?

Even more so!

Especially Lin Hao became even more interested in Lin Xi’s identity.

Lin Xi’s furious expression from a moment ago froze for a second when he heard that roar.

Then a strange look flashed across his face. "You’re the old man?"

"Little bastard, your wings got hard, or you’ve gone a few months without seeing me and now you don’t put anyone in your eyes?" The voice on the other end came again, still roaring.

Sounded really pissed.

Lin Xi suddenly chuckled. "I was just confirming."

"Old man, you really in the Maldives?"

"What are you doing over there?"

"Don’t tell me you’re out picking up chicks!"

He also put two and two together.

The old man was probably really over there, because the last time Lin Xi went up Yunlong Mountain, he found out the old man had already left.

He figured.

The moment he left Yunlong Mountain, the old man took off too.

Sigh!

He was so naive back then.

He’d actually been worried the old man would be lonely up in the mountains with no one to talk to.

Who would’ve thought, the moment he stepped out the door, the old man stepped out right behind him.

Probably went off to travel the world.

Mm, and the money he’s using is definitely the hard-earned cash Lin Xi slogged for all those years.

Thinking of that, Lin Xi really wanted to roar at the old man.

But then he thought about it and let it go.

When it came to roaring at the old man, he’d never won once.

Plus, he hadn’t seen the old man in so long. Honestly, he kind of missed him.

"Picking up chicks? You brat, are you trying to be funny?" The other side sounded utterly incredulous.

Lin Xi couldn’t help laughing. "Who are you trying to fool?"

"You think I don’t know what kind of person you are?"

This time the old man didn’t argue. He seemed in a much better mood after Lin Xi’s earlier outburst, and then Lin Xi heard him say, "Actually!"

"I just came here to experience life a bit."

"You know, I’ve always been lonely and miserable, put all my blood, sweat, and tears into raising you, so much effort, and in the end I didn’t even find a wife!"

"Wasn’t it all for you?"

"Now I come out to relax and feel the diversity of the world, and you dare slander me like this!"

"You, do you even have a conscience?"

"Or did a dog eat your conscience?"

Lin Xi curled his lip. "Lonely and miserable? How come I never saw that?"

"And blood, sweat, and tears to raise me?"

"I seriously suspect you have a child-abuse fetish!"

"If it wasn’t for the fact that it was just the two of us on that mountain, I’d be filing complaints on you nonstop!"

"Alright, enough nonsense, I’ve got stuff to deal with." Lin Xi cut off the old man’s attempt to start whining again. "Just spit it out, what do you want from me?"

"Calling like this is totally not your style!"

"And how’d you hire a hacker? The tech’s not bad!"

The old man chuckled. "Not bad?"

"Wasn’t it enough to give you a scare? Isn’t he the best in the world?"

"Quit bullshitting. That level of skill, ’best in the world’? Old man, you’re joking." Lin Xi obviously refused to admit it. "Tell me, if I didn’t pick up, you’d be helpless, right?"

"If you could make it automatically pick up even when I don’t, then I’d admit it’s pretty impressive!"

The old man snorted. "Why don’t you just ascend to heaven while you’re at it!"

"Anyway, my time’s precious!"

"I just asked out two blonde girls, we’re heading out for a swim."

Hearing that, Lin Xi showed a look of contempt. He knew it!

The old man had definitely gone there to pick up chicks.

"Watch out you don’t get eaten by sharks!" Lin Xi cursed.

The old man’s cold snort came right away. "Sharks?"

"Even if it were crocodiles, or a whole pack of them, they still wouldn’t be any use against your old man."

At that point he stopped joking around. After all, this matter was a bit urgent. "Listen, stop messing around in the capital."

"Get back to Chuzhou City and check on the Wang family."

"Seems like something’s happened to them."

"And you little bastard, I told you to look after their family. How exactly have you been ’looking after’ them?"

"You were in Chuzhou City that long, and you helped them out once, right? Then you just forgot about them!"

"You unfilial brat!"

"Alright, I’m done talking. Hurry up and get back!"

Before Lin Xi could reply, the sound of the call hanging up came from the other end.

He was just about to call back and get a clear idea of what was going on.

But when he dialed, he found the phone was already switched off.

That pissed him off so much he almost started swearing his head off.

But he’s a well-educated, four-good youth, not as vulgar as the old man.

So he held it in.

Immediately, he turned around to look at Lin Hao, who still hadn’t left, and said, "Patriarch Lin, sorry, I have to head back to Chuzhou City."

"Something urgent came up over there."
