Battling Records of the Chosen One Chapter 97: A Boy Facing Thousands of Accusing Fingers

Mu Wansu obviously had noticed there were inappropriate places in the name list. Hesitating for an instant, she pointed it out, “President Yu, it seems that Lin Xun is also eligible.”

These words were polite enough, so she was sure that Yu Canglin knew what she really meant.

However, Yu Canglin looked strange somehow after hearing Mu’s words. Casting a glance at Mu Wansu, he spoke in a low voice, “I know it.”

Mu Wansu was in a trance. Looking at the expression of Yu, she had an inexplicable bad feeling.

Running down the surroundings with her clear eyes, she realized immediately that at the moment both Wu Chaoqun and some other big shots of Donglin Town seemed to look strange somehow, as if they were gratified or had been waiting for the moment for a long time.

Feeling heavy at heart, Mu realized that she had been probably not helpful to Lin Xun, but caused some trouble for him.

As expected, Yu Canglin looked serious the next moment. Looking upright and awe-inspiring, he said in a solemn voice, “You must be wondering why Lin Xun is not in the list of people who have passed the County Test since he also performed well.”

The big shots on the high platform all nodded tacitly.

Even Yao Tuohai, sitting in the middle, showed the expression of listening attentively, while on the square, crowds of youngsters who had originally been waiting for the additional test couldn’t help feeling confused and wondering what was wrong with the guy named Lin Xun.

They didn’t know why.

But Lian Fei, Yao Susu, Yang Qun and a few others understood why. They looked excited at once, casting a glance at Lin Xun who was standing in the crowd, and assuming the posture of waiting to see a drama.

Lin Xun sighed stealthily. As he expected, his opponents began to take revenge on him.

Lin didn’t intend to blame Mu Wansu, instead he felt quite good when Mu defended him against the injustice. He knew Mu detested him; however, concerning the major issues of principle, it was kind of her to behave like this.

At this point, Yu Canglin who stood on the platform said in a righteous manner, “To be honest, this boy is notorious for his misdeeds, not only graceless but also sinister and lacking in sincerity. In spite of excellent naturals, Lin Xun is such a despicable boy! He is not qualified to take part in the test at all!”

Blunt and straight-forward, in spite of no dirty word, the statement sounded even sharper when spoken out by the president of Donglin School.

The crowd burst into an uproar.

People present were not only those big shots of Donglin Town who came to attend the ceremony, but also many teachers of the school, as well as over 2,000 practitioners who came here for the test.

Therefore, you could imagine how astonished they were when they heard Yu Canglin made such an awful comment on a young boy.

It must be true! Yu Canglin didn’t need to slander a boy by his eminent identity and position.

What an insidious comment! Being sinister and lacking in sincerity! That was great!

Were it not for the occasion, Lian Fei really desired to utter sighs of admiration unceasingly. Yu’s words made him excited all over, and he couldn’t agree more.

Yao Susu was also very delightful. She said in a low voice, “I had told Lin Xun something bad might happen to him today with his ophryon blackening and a hint of bad luck between his eyebrows!”

Lian Fei couldn’t help laughing, feeling complacent. The comment was made by the president of Donglin School in person, which meant that Lin Xun, a small potato in the Civilian Area, was already sentenced to death on the path of County Test.

Lin Xun didn’t say anything, and didn’t pay attention to the uproar, either. With his eyes fixing on the platform, he looked at Yu Canglin who wore an expression of abhorrence of evil, and those big shots of Donglin Town with different looks on their faces. Lin Xun couldn’t help feeling resentful. Taking these unreal excuses to slander him, those old bastards were just so malicious!

Once the comment spread, Lin Xun would definitely be influenced, even if he could have a chance to take part in the State Test. In other words, if Lin Xun couldn’t quash the comment, he would be ridiculed and satirized, and bore the unwarranted charge, even if he could make his way in the future.

“President Yu, what do you mean? It’s indecent of you to severely criticize a practitioner coming here for the test.”

Mu Wansu couldn’t help hurling a question at Yu before Lin Xun could even react. Having made a blunder, she wouldn’t make the second one.

But Yu Canglin waved his hand and said,” Miss Wansu, please take it easy.”

While speaking, he ran down the whole crowd with his sharp eyes, and finally focused on Lin Xun. “Now that I said so, I must have enough evidence to prove it. I don’t need to frame up a teenager with my identity.”

The uproar disappeared. Judging from their expressions, they already believed the most part, even before Yu showed the evidence.

That was his influence! Compared with Lin Xun who was unfamiliar to most people, Yu Canglin was such a big shot in Donglin Town. Yu was not only the president of Donglin School, but also an overmatch in Sea Spirit Realm.

Who dared question the comment made by such a person.

“Lin Xun, let me ask you if you are the leader of the Shuangmu Gang in Civilian Area?”

Suddenly, Yu Canglin spoke in a loud voice, just like an explosive bomb.

Shuangmu Gang?

Many people present were confused, but some of those who got to know the matter felt shocked and spread what they learnt. Soon all the people present knew that the Shuangmu Gang was an underground force in the Civilian Area, whose fame skyrocketed recently for annexing more than a dozen gangs.

What such underground forces did was dirty deals that couldn’t be made public; therefore, Lin Xun couldn’t be a good guy.

Many people present were clear how disordered and dirty the Civilian Area was. Although they knew there were various underground gangs there, when the matter was discussed in public, something changed.

With so many eyes fixing on him, Lin Xun kept silent for a moment, and then nodded, “Yes, that’s true.”

The crowd was restless. It seemed that people hadn’t expected Lin Xun could admit it. Didn’t it mean he confirmed the comment made by President Yun Canglin.

Even Yu himself didn’t expect that Lin Xun would admit without hesitation, which made him feel surprised, but he didn’t think about it anymore.

In Yu’s opinion, Lin Xun was still too young and his reaction at the moment was quite normal since he must be completely struck by the power and influence of Yu. Lin Xun was sensible not to resist any more.

“Then was that you again who secretly incited those gangsters to stage a farce at the gate of Donglin School?”

Yu Canglin brought Lin Xun to account in a high voice. With his eyes blazing with anger, Yu acted in a more domineering manner as if he was judging a criminal.

Many of those who hadn’t known the truth couldn’t help but burst into another uproar. The information of the farce which happened yesterday at the gate of the Donglin School had spread throughout the entire Donglin Town, but who could imagine it was incited by a young boy?

If it was true, then didn’t it mean that the farce was a conspiracy actually?

At this moment, Lin Xun was not flurried. Looking steadily at Yu Canglin on the platform, he said, “Yes, that’s true.”

Seeing Lin Xun admitted again, even Mu Wansu felt uneasy and anxious, and she was wondering why the once sly boy became so timid, and didn’t he know once he admitted, he might not be able to walk out of the Donglin School, let alone pass the County Test!

On the platform, Mu Wansu was utterly confused and disconcerted, and she didn’t know what to do. Those sitting here were all big shots in Donglin Town; therefore, even she had Keystone Business to depend on, she couldn’t dominate the situation.

Compared with Mu Wansu, Wu Chaoqun looked serious, but his eyes were filled with complacence that couldn’t be covered up. Lin Xun was still too young after all to contend against those old guys.

At this moment, Yu Canglin drew back his eyes from Lin Xun, and spoke in a low voice to all present, “Now you must understand why I have made such a comment, and that is the reason why I refused to include his name in the list.”

Those big shots of Donglin Town on the platform all nodded. Yao Tuohai, who was sitting in the center, had no reaction, which meant that he had tacitly agreed.

At the moment, Yu Canglin sighed with emotion suddenly, “Considering this boy is still very young and has a chance to turn over a new leaf, Excellency Yao and I originally intended to let him take part in the following additional test, and if he performs well, I might give him an opportunity. What a pity! Even if I want to care for him, many people present won’t agree.”

A strong sense of hatred and disgust rose in the heart of Mu Wansu. Yu Canglin apparently had planned all this, but behaved with a strong sense of hypocritical righteousness. He was just so hypocritical, and Mu Wansu never thought the president of Donglin School turned out to be such a hypocrite.

But no matter what Mu Wansu thought, a gale of fevered yell burst out in the crowd the moment Yu Canglin finished his last sentence.

“We absolutely don’t agree! This guy is too evil and sordid to be allowed in the County Test.”

“Right! Such a villain! So vicious at such an age! He will definitely do harm to the whole world when he grows up!”

Not only should he not be allowed to take part in the County Test, but also he should be caught and harshly punished to warn others!”

The young were always easy to be incited, and they were especially unscrupulous when aiming at those who had nothing to do with them.

The square was inundated with feverish curses.

Those young boys and girls present to take part in the County Test all moved away from Lin Xun with the expression of abhorrence and being ashamed to be with Lin Xun.

On the vacant lot of such a size, stood Lin Xun, all alone.

Looking at this, Mu Wansu had a strong sense of incapability, and sighed silently. How stupid Lin Xun was today!

It was originally a County Test, but now the situation evolved into such a mess. Who would believe it was just a coincidence?

It must have been designed elaborately! By the intelligence showed by Lin Xun before, how could he didn’t see it through.

Lian Fei laughed with excitement, and Yao Susu stuck out her chest, proud and complacent. The result made them feel great.

On the platform, Wu Chaoqun and Yu Canglin looked at Lin Xun just like they were looking at a dead person. Yao Tuohai was still silent, with the thought hard to conjecture.

On the square, the crowd was burning with rage, with sounds of curses and blame echoing in the air.

At the moment, Lin Xun was facing thousands of accusing fingers.
