Chapter 23: Moon Comes to Seek
It was already late at night, and Lin Qinghan was walking leisurely on a sparsely populated street.
This time, he could be considered to have picked up a big bargain, earning tens of millions of gold soul coins just by getting involved.
According to the original development, even without his help, Zhang Lexuan could have killed the 100,000-year soul beast alone.
"Anyway, it's Shrek Academy that's being robbed," Lin Qinghan thought, accepting the windfall calmly.
"I should be richer than the Lin family now, right?" Lin Qinghan thought as he considered how to find a reasonable way to repay his family.
This sparsely populated street wasn't exactly desolate, but it was lined with high-end shops, so naturally, there were few visitors.
However, looking at the empty street and thinking of the worrying public security around Shrek Academy, Lin Qinghan decided to open his spiritual sense. He narrowed its range a little, so as not to disturb anyone with high cultivation.
Lin Qinghan wandered around, thinking about finding a more luxurious hotel. Just as he turned a corner, a figure suddenly appeared, scaring him.
According to his spiritual sense, there was clearly no one here.
'Why can't the spiritual sense detect this person?' Lin Qinghan was a little embarrassed. He had just opened his spiritual sense not long ago, but it seemed that he had hit a wall.
The figure that suddenly appeared was an old man with a hunchback.
Seeing Lin Qinghan looking at him with an indescribable expression on his face, the old man smiled gently.
"Don't be afraid, little guy, I have no ill intentions. I just want to ask you a few questions."
A few dazzling lights suddenly appeared in the surrounding space, and Lin Qinghan's spiritual sense was actually forced back.
"The security in Shrek City is very good. You don't have to be so cautious. It's not a good habit to detect casually."
The old man who came was the current head of the Sea God Pavilion, Moon En.
After Moon En's anger subsided, he decided to go to the Xingdou Great Forest to look for Zhang Lexuan, thinking that he would find the dead person and the body.
But as soon as he flew out of Shrek Academy, he sensed Zhang Lexuan's breath. At the time, he was surprised and quickly rushed over to follow the scent. He then saw Zhang Lexuan and Lin Qinghan shopping together.
Seeing Zhang Lexuan's heartfelt smile and the strange look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Qinghan, Moon sighed in his heart.
Fortunately, the worst thing didn't happen. Although the loss was heavy this time, Zhang Lexuan was a blessing in disguise.
This also helped make up for a sin he had committed before.
At that moment, Moon decided to observe for a while and planned to find an opportunity to meet Lin Qinghan alone. He watched Zhang Lexuan playing with Lin Qinghan for most of the day.
Since Zhang Lexuan had no intention of returning to the academy in a hurry, he couldn't disturb them. He had to wait for the right opportunity to meet Lin Qinghan alone.
"Aren't you worried about your personal safety?" Facing Moon En's words, Lin Qinghan smiled awkwardly. The thing he had been most worried about had just happened.
"But old man, why are you coming to see me alone in the middle of the night?"
Lin Qinghan's meaning was very clear. If you, an old man with a cultivation level at least as high as a Super Douluo, come to block me on the street in the middle of the night without any bad intentions, then there must be something wrong.
"Haha, don't be nervous, little guy. I just want to ask what your relationship is with the little girl from earlier. You can call me Old Mu."
Moon En smiled slightly. It was quite amusing that the little guy pretended to be scared by him.
'Whose little girl is in her twenties?' Lin Qinghan's mouth twitched slightly. 'No, Elder Mu? Could this be Dragon God Douluo Mu En?'
Lin Qinghan looked at the old man carefully again. On the surface, he was a hunchbacked, white-haired, kind old man, and Lin confirmed his guess.
"I didn't have much contact with that woman before, but I saved her once by chance in the Xingdou Great Forest."
"We should be friends now."
Lin Qinghan said this very tactfully. It would be bad if Moon En came to warn him not to "poach" people, but he didn't worry too much. In the original book, this person didn't seem to get upset about such things.
"I am Zhang Lexuan's elder. I am old and uncomfortable with physical activities. Can you push me around?" Moon En took out a wheelchair made of golden branches and said to Lin Qinghan.
"Junior is happy to serve," Lin Qinghan replied, and pushed the wheelchair forward.
"Zhang Lexuan is a very pitiful child. Do you want to hear her story?"
Lin Qinghan pushed Moon En along the road. There was no one around, and Moon En suddenly spoke.
"Okay, I would like to hear about the past experiences of this genius elder sister," Lin Qinghan said, eager to hear the details.
"When I first met Lexuan, I was at the border of the Heavenly Soul Empire. I was traveling around the continent when I detected the breath of an evil soul master in the ruins of a mansion. I quickly went to investigate."
"After investigating, I found Zhang Lexuan, who had fainted from hunger at the time, in a secret room."
"After waking her up, the first thing she said was 'revenge.'"
"At that time, I asked her to agree to a very excessive deal in exchange for helping her with revenge, which also caused some tragedies."
"But all of that is in the past now. Lexuan is a good child. I don't want her to live in tragedy anymore. Do you understand?"
Lin Qinghan was speechless and just nodded silently.
"Let's stop here." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Moon En pushed the wheelchair and slowly left.
'At such a young age, his strength is so terrifying.' On his way back, Moon En was surprised.
As an Extreme Douluo, Moon En may have missed some of Lin Qinghan's secrets, but some things were clearly visible. The strength of the soul power in Lin Qinghan's body was probably comparable to that of a Soul Saint, although the total amount hadn't reached it, and his physical fitness was terrifying—on par with a high-level Soul Saint.
'The world is really wonderful. Even such a monster can be born.'
Although Moon En noticed Lin Qinghan's terrifying talent, he didn't take any action and didn't even invite the other party to Shrek Academy.
Since Lin Qinghan and Zhang Lexuan had spent so much time together, it was clear that Zhang Lexuan had invited him. It all depended on fate.
On the other side, after seeing Moon En off, Lin Qinghan quickly found a hotel.
After a simple wash, he gave up the idea of continuing to practice that night and went straight to bed, falling asleep.
Today, Lin Qinghan's mind was a little messy due to all these events. He needed to sleep to clear his heavy thoughts.
"What will the relationship between Zhang Lexuan and me be in the future?"
With that last thought, Lin Qinghan fell asleep.
