C3 Midnight Sound

"Uncle Lin, it's not good for you to get used to Jun'er like this, right? Aren't you afraid that you'll spoil him? " Faang Su, who had walked in at some point, shook his head and said as he looked at Lin Xiaoxun's doting actions.

"Brother Faang!" When she saw Faang Su, Jun'er's eyes lit up and she jumped up, leaving Lin Xiaoxun's embrace and jumping onto Faang Su's body.

"Be careful, you don't know how heavy you are?" Faang Su frowned as he purposely teased her. In the end, he got a look of displeasure from Jun'er.

"You're the heavy one! Father said that this is called child fat, and if children are like this, then it won't happen again! " Jun'er retorted snappily and walked back to Lin Xiaoxun.

"Yes yes yes, it was my slip of the tongue, then I am a guest. Since you are so knowledgeable, shouldn't you pour me a cup of water?" I've been busy all afternoon and I'm going to die of thirst. " Faang Su frowned and covered his throat.

"I just came back, how can I have water for you to drink?!" Although Jun'er complained on the surface, she still turned around and walked out the door.

"Just you wait!" I can't help but drink with Father! " Jun'er walked to the door and turned around. She looked at Faang Su in the room and made a face. Then, she turned around and ran out.

"This Brat!" It was too late for Faang Su to choke, so he could only grumpily mutter. After all, everyone knew that he couldn't drink alcohol and he was also very helpless.

"Alright, take a seat!" Lin Xiaoxun looked at Faang Su and gestured for him to take a seat.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxun's serious expression, Faang Su hurriedly walked to the side and sat down. At the same time, he whispered to Lin Xiaoxun.

"We've already given the items to Qingyu and the others." Faang Su, who didn't appear here like the others, actually did other things in private.

"Where?" Lin Xiaoxun raised his head and looked at Faang Su.

"It's already prepared. Now it should be enough to meet the needs. Next year will be big, and the trees should be able to survive. We'll move then." Faang Su replied.

"En!" Lin Xiaoxun replied and took a sip of the wine on the table.

"Uncle Lin, do you think this can work?" Faang Su looked at Lin Xiaoxun worriedly.

For matters like raising private silkworms, although there were no clear legal provisions, there was probably quite a tax on their breeding. However, no matter how harsh it was, at least it could solve their clothing problems and prevent them from suffering through the winter. It was always good.

"It's all done by man." Lin Xiaoxun replied in a low voice. Although he said it unintentionally, his tone was firm.

"I know. I will tell Qingyu and the others to be more careful. This year won't do. There's still a next year anyway." As Faang Su said this, he smiled. Lin Xiaoxun raised his head and glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

"Brother Faang!" Do you want to stay for dinner? " Jun'er stuck her head in the door and asked.

"No, I'll go back first. I'll go to Qingyu's house for dinner tonight." Faang Su stood up and smiled as he said that.

"Oh!" Jun'er answered with a frown, turned around and walked out of the room while muttering something.

"Uncle Lin, then I'll go back first. If Manager Wu comes over tomorrow, I'll inform you." Sun Tie looked at Lin Xiaoxun and said.

"En!" Lin Xiaoxun answered and then waved his hand. Wu Tie nodded and walked out.

After Faang Su left, Jun'er walked in from the door and saw Lin Xiaoxun sitting alone at the table, drinking his wine. It was unknown what he was thinking with an expressionless face.

"Dad, let's clean up!" Jun'er walked over to Lin Xiaoxun and smiled sweetly.

"..." "Alright."

He had been away from home for more than half a year. The house was covered in a thick layer of dust. Although it was only a rough cleaning, it had taken up a lot of time and was very tiring.

After dinner, Jun'er cleaned herself up and went back to her room to lie down. After a few days of travelling and working, he fell asleep very quickly. He didn't even know when a group of people had gathered around his bed.

In the middle of the night, only the flickering candle flame reflected Lin Xiaoxun's expressionless face as he looked at Jun'er, who was lying on the bed.

"This is Master Jun?" The person standing next to him asked in a low voice, his young face full of curiosity.

"He's getting more and more handsome!" The older man said indifferently with a condensed expression.

"I can't wait to see how he'll grow up. I wonder who he'll look like more." The skinny man smiled and looked at Jun'er expectantly.

"No matter who it is, the most important thing is to be able to grow up safely." There aren't many things you can hope for in this world! The stout man sighed.

"Go out! Don't wake up. " At the same time, Jun'er, who was lying on the bed, also turned over.

Lin Xiaoxun casually helped to tuck in the horn. He turned around and signaled everyone to follow him out, so the group of people filed out one by one and entered Lin Xiaoxun's room.

"Sit down!" Lin Xiaoxun called for the four people beside him to sit down. Under the dim light, they could finally see everyone's expressions.

"How many places did you go to this time?" The thin man asked impatiently as soon as he sat down.

"I went to the Taotie from Bibi." Lin Xiaoxun replied.

"Did you find it?" The older man looked at Lin Xiaoxun, unable to conceal the smile on his face.

Ye Zichen shook his head silently. Lin Xiaoxun's reply made everyone silent on the spot. The young man couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw the disappointment on Lin Xiaoxun's face.

"Aiya! If I can't find it, I'll look for it again! Anyway, there's still Master Jun here! " The older man looked up at him.

"Meng Liang, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." The stout man squinted his eyes at Meng Liang.

"I'm not wrong! Didn't Xiao Yu think the same way? " Meng Liang looked at the skinny man beside him. The latter merely shrugged with a smile and didn't say anything.

"Don't spout nonsense if you don't know! "Master Jun is …!" The stout man tried to speak, but was cut off by someone.

"Hu Ji!" The older man frowned and stared at Hu Ji. The latter looked at him, but didn't say anything.

"Big Brother Duan, don't worry. We're all on the same side, so there's no need to hide anything. What do you think, Brother Lin?" Xiao Yu, who had been silent all this time, looked back at Lin Xiaoxun and smiled when the latter raised his head.

"Duan Lee, what's the matter that I told you to do before?" Lin Xiaoxun didn't answer and instead asked the smiling Duan Lee.

"The master of Yazi City is so sick, I'm afraid the days are numbered." Duan Lee looked at Lin Xiaoxun and answered.

"Severe illness? I thought that cunning old fox would harm us for ten thousand years! " Meng Liang was a bit surprised, but he couldn't help but say this.

"This is called committing injustice and committing suicide." Hu Ji snorted in disapproval.

"So you're saying that the main body of the Yazi City has been replaced?" Wu Junyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Duan Lee with a playful expression.

"He should ascend the throne before the new year." Duan Lee glanced at Xiao Yu. He knew this person was smart and probably had a plan in mind.

"I heard that Yazi City's Young Master isn't even twenty this year, and is also around my age. This Yazi City shouldn't follow in our footsteps, right?" Meng Liang looked at the crowd with some curiosity. Such a young city lord, yet he was being eaten alive by the other cities' old monsters?

"If you have the time to care about others, why don't you care more about yourself? We haven't found our Young Master! " Hu Ji looked at Meng Liang in a bad mood, with an expression as if the other was not working properly.

"What's that?" Don't we still have Master Jun? "It's been so many years, if we can't find it, it means that we're already …!" Before Meng Liang could finish his words, he paused on the spot because of the sound of Lin Xiaoxun hitting the table.

Under Lin Xiaoxun's gaze that was like a cold ray of light, Meng Liang couldn't help but to become alert. His back felt cold and he coughed dryly twice. Then, he leaned towards Xiao Yu at the side.

Ye Zichen looked at Meng Liang in amusement, while Xiao Yu looked at Lin Xiaoxun, who had a cold expression, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

"Brother Lin, since it would be so lively before the Yazi City, why don't we agree with what those merchants have to say. It's fine if we go over to take a look, maybe someone will think the same as us?" Xiao Yu suggested with a smile.

"Are you talking about Young Master and the others?" Hu Ji could not help but look at Xiao Yu with anticipation.

With such a large matter, I believe that the other cities will gather as well. For us, this is an opportunity, for those who share the same thoughts as us, this is also an opportunity, right? " Even if he couldn't make a move, he still needed the information.

Xiao Yu looked at Lin Xiaoxun. Seeing the look of contemplation on his face, he just stared at him without disturbing him.

"Go and arrange it!" After a while, Lin Xiaoxun looked up at Duan Lee, but the latter just nodded without saying anything.

"Then I'll go and prepare as well!" Meng Liang's eyes lit up as he looked at Lin Xiaoxun.

"What do you want to prepare?" Hu Ji frowned as he looked at the other party in annoyance.

"Get ready!" Meng Liang's logical explanation garnered everyone's attention.

"Who asked you to go with them?" Hu Ji rolled his eyes at Meng Liang.

"Yeah?" Meng Liang widened his eyes and looked at Hu Ji, then turned to look at Lin Xiaoxun.

"Uncle Lin!" Meng Liang's tone was full of expectation, and his face was full of childish coquetry. Lin Xiaoxun looked at him for a while and then said something.

"You're in charge."

"Ah — ah ah ah!" How could this be? This kind of thing is what Big Brother Hu has to do! " Meng Liang shouted in indignation, but ended up getting knocked on the head by Xiao Yu.

"Be quiet, are you trying to wake Master Jun up?" Meng Liang didn't expect that even Xiao Yu would attack him, so he pouted with grievance. However, he turned his head to the side without saying anything else.

Looking at the unresigned Meng Liang, Xiao Yu shook his head and looked at Lin Xiaoxun.

"I'll stay with Meng Liang!" A few years ago, there should be a lot of things that we need to take care of in the village, so we can help out. " Hearing that Xiao Yu would stay behind as well, Meng Liang couldn't help but look back at him with a comforting smile.

Lin Xiaoxun nodded his head in agreement and then looked towards Hu Ji.

"I will take this opportunity to contact the people from the other cities. I will take advantage of the time when everyone's attention is focused on Yazi City to arrange things that I wasn't able to arrange previously." Hu Ji understood what he should do.

"You've worked hard." Lin Xiaoxun said in a low voice.

"It's not as hard as being outside." As Hu Ji said that, he lowered his head, and everyone couldn't help but remain silent.

People like them were already considered lucky. In the current Shangye Continent, other than the rich and prosperous eight cities, it was already a miracle for refugees like them who had been deprived of their hukou.

Even though he had the intention to change the current situation, he still lacked the strength. Even if he wanted to save the world, he had spent all his effort just to protect the people around him.

"If only I could find it this time." Duan Lee looked at Lin Xiaoxun and said what everyone wanted.

"That's right!" If only I could find it. " Hu Ji also couldn't help but agree, but he sighed in his heart.

"I'll find it." Lin Xiaoxun said with a firm tone, just like the assured expression on his face. No one knew where his confidence came from, but they were all willing to believe it.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, a sound came from outside the door. This made them look at each other, and before Lin Xiaoxun could say anything, everyone jumped out of the window in an instant. Even the wealthy Hu Ji jumped out quickly.
