Chapter 2771: Chapter 2771: Turbulent Times
This time, he really didn’t do it on purpose; he just came at a bad time and overheard them. If he’d known, he surely wouldn’t have come over so eagerly, and would have at least waited a bit.
"Oh."
Feng Tang replied once more.
He could be sure that Yiin Hao hadn’t noticed Old Lin, not because Yiin Hao’s cultivation level was lacking, but because he was all worked up and his focus was entirely on him, never thinking about anything else.
Old Lin was indeed lucky. If he’d been discovered by Yiin Hao, even if Yiin Hao wanted to stop, he wouldn’t have spared Old Lin.
Although killing is forbidden at Huayan Peak, if someone really wanted to, it would still be a simple endeavor, and Old Lin’s cultivation level surely wasn’t a match for Yiin Hao’s.
"Give it to me."
"Huh? What?"
Old Lin was puzzled by his words and instinctively asked.
"Isn’t it for me?"
Feng Tang looked again at the fruit in his arms and asked.
"Oh, right, right, the Little Prince specially instructed me to bring it to you."
Only then did Old Lin understand. He was referring to the fruit, so he quickly stuffed all the fruit into Feng Tang’s arms.
"These fruits were hard for me to buy, and they taste great. It’s only because the Little Prince said to give them to you that I could part with them, otherwise I’d have been reluctant... cough, cough."
His eyes glimpsed Feng Tang’s impatient face, prompting two light coughs to shut himself up.
He didn’t do it intentionally; not knowing what else to say, he spoke to avoid an awkward silence, but the atmosphere was too peculiar.
He constantly felt a chill on his back, not knowing whether it was out of guilt from just eavesdropping on Feng Tang and Yiin Hao’s conversation.
"If you have no business, go and keep an eye on the Little Prince; lately, things have been unsettled." Feng Tang advised after taking the fruit, then departed directly.
If those people failed once, there’d surely be a second or third attempt. He couldn’t always guard the Little Prince; instead, he had to rely on the people around him.
Old Lin was one of those arranged around the Little Prince, responsible for everything related to him.
Old Lin: "..."
He was aware things were unsettled lately; otherwise, he wouldn’t have listened to Feng Tang and Yiin Hao’s conversation. Did they assume he knew nothing?
However, if someone really wanted the Little Prince’s life, what could he alone do? Wouldn’t he just be helpless against it?
But he wasn’t afraid; when the lord returned, he’d ask him to assign more people to guard the Little Prince. That way, he’d have the liberty to go to the camp.
Quickly get rid of those trying to mess with Huayan Peak; otherwise, even the Little Prince’s life wouldn’t be safe.
"It’s giving me a headache. Why are they targeting the little ancestor?"
Indeed, why would anyone target the little ancestor without any reason? He seldom appears, only causing commotion in the tent daily, not bothering anyone else’s affairs.
The worst it caused was his headache; why would he be targeted?
"The little ancestor is targeted. Could there be others at different camps being targeted too?"
In the planes, many sent the high-ranking, spoiled little ancestors to Huayan Peak to gain prestige, and such individuals were frequently sent over.
Could it be that others, not just their little ancestor, encountered similar situations at different camps?
If many were harmed simultaneously, Huayan Peak would truly be in chaos, and everyone would blame the inter-plane travelers, claiming they couldn’t protect Huayan Peak’s tranquility.
