Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

The shopkeeper told Lin Yaoxie everything without holding anything back.

Lin Yaoxie felt that the shopkeeper was a very good person, so he entrusted the management of the pawnshop to him with complete peace of mind.

After they had robbed the pawnshop, they returned to the backyard.

When they returned, the lady saw that the distinguished guests had already returned with her husband.

Chapter 430 A Virtuous Wife and Loving Mother

He hurried over to greet her. When Lin Yaoxie saw the woman, he immediately recognized her as a very virtuous and kind woman.

She was dressed neatly and simply, and managed the house very well.

The lady quickly bowed to Lin Yaoxie and the others, saying, "This humble woman greets the Palace Master and the four elders. My husband has often mentioned you. We are very pleased to welcome you here."

“I have prepared food and drinks for June 20th. Please come to the backyard for a meal.”

Lin Yaoxie nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam. Thank you for your hard work."

So they followed the shopkeeper and his wife to the backyard, where they saw a table of food and wine already prepared in the dining room.

Lin Yaoxie looked around and saw that the backyard was kept clean and tidy, which meant that the couple were indeed people who lived a good life.

After Lin Yaoxie and the others sat down, the innkeeper quickly said to them, "Palace Master and the four elders, please don't be shy. These are just home-style dishes that my wife made. Please try them."

After Lin Yaoxie and the four girls grew up, they all praised the lady's cooking skills, never expecting that the lady's dishes were so delicious.

So Lin Yaoxie said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you are so lucky to have married such a virtuous wife and mother, and she can cook such a good meal. No wonder you look so blessed."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed after hearing what Lin Yaoxie said.

"Yes, my wife is indeed a good wife and mother. It is my blessing to have married her. Since everyone likes my wife's cooking, then everyone should eat more."

The shopkeeper then filled Lin Yaoxie's wine cup to the brim with wine.

Lin said with a wicked smile, "I don't like to drink too much alcohol, this is enough."

So the shopkeeper quickly put the wine pot aside and said, "Alright, Your Highness, please make yourself at home. As long as you don't mind the food here."

Lin Yaoxie smiled and said, "How could I complain? This kind of home-style cooking is really delicious. I haven't had this kind of home-style cooking in a long time." Under the warm hospitality of the innkeeper and his wife, Lin Yaoxie and the four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, finished their meal and rested for a while before going back to their rooms to sleep. After being led to his room, Lin Yaoxie found that it was very clean, and it seemed that the lady had made preparations in advance.

Moreover, all the bedding was newly changed and felt quite comfortable to the touch. Lin Yaoxie washed up with the help of the four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju.

They were kicked out and told to go back to sleep.

Lin Yaoxie lay on the comfortable bed and felt very comfortable, as if he were at home.

He thought that when he returned to Lingjiu Palace, he would live a peaceful and stable life for a while.

After getting used to this comfortable life, I'll go out and explore for a while, and once I've had enough of wandering the world, I'll finally be ready to go.

Returning to Lingjiu Palace to enjoy some time is actually a very happy way to live.

As Lin Yaoxie pondered these thoughts, he actually fell asleep.

Today went very smoothly; we passed the test on the shopkeeper, and he was actually quite happy.

It's difficult to find a competent manager for this shop who is also honest, incorruptible, and wholeheartedly devoted to the well-being of Lingjiu Palace.

Chapter 431 Future Development

When Lin Yaoxie opened his eyes on the comfortable bed the next morning, he found that it was already bright outside.

He checked the time and figured it was already very late, so he went to sleep since no one was waking him up.

Since there was nothing else to do at this point, the four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, probably didn't dare to wake him up and let him get a good night's sleep.

He lay in bed for a while and then felt he should get up, since sleeping in here was very impolite.

When he finished dressing and opened the door, he was surprised to find that the four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, were already waiting at the door.

After I saw that he had gotten up, I brought him his wash water and other things to his room.

After helping Lin Yaoxie wash his face and comb his hair, and getting him dressed up, they went out for breakfast together.

It was almost noon, and the shopkeeper and his wife had already finished their lunch and gone about their own business.

The four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, had been waiting for their master to join them for dinner, so they hadn't eaten yet.

The lady was already in the kitchen, and after heating up the food for them, she brought it to the table.

After they sat down and thanked the lady, they...

They sat there eating this simple breakfast and felt quite happy. It tasted so much better than the food in those restaurants.

Although they look simple, these dishes have a homey taste and a unique flavor.

After Lin Yaoxie and his group finished their meal, they thanked the lady again.

They arrived at the pawnshop ahead, which was already bustling with activity.

The shopkeeper started watching as all sorts of people pawned their wares there.

So Lin Yaoxie and the others sat down in a corner of the pawnshop, while the shopkeeper went about his business.

He didn't have time to come to Lin Yaoxie's place either. Lin Yaoxie gestured for him to go about his own business and not to worry about him.

Lin Yaoxie and the four girls watched the people coming and going in the pawnshop.

After sitting there for a while, Lin Yaoxie said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you go ahead with your work. I'll take these four people to look around your city. We've never been to your city before."

So the shopkeeper said, "Then Your Majesty, please come back for lunch. I'll have my wife cook you some extra delicious food."

Lin Yaoxie thought for a moment and said, "Don't trouble your wife. She's working very hard too. We'll try anything interesting we see outside."

"He might not come back for dinner, but he'll come back and have a couple of drinks with you."

So Lin Yaoxie led the four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, out of the pawnshop.

Lin Yaoxie wanted to go out for a stroll for a while, partly to check out the businesses on the street and see what good ones were available so he could think about future development.

As they walked, Mei Jian said to Lin Yaoxie, "Master, are you completely at ease with this shopkeeper? If we are, shouldn't we leave as soon as possible?"

Lin Yaoxie said, "Yes, since we trust this shopkeeper, let's leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we keep staying here, people will think we don't trust them and are watching over us." "Actually, we don't have that kind of free time. Since there's nothing wrong here, let's leave tomorrow if necessary."

Chapter 432 No Regrets

Lan Jian said, "I also think there's nothing wrong with this shopkeeper. He has now passed our test."

“I don’t think he would dare to betray our Lingjiu Palace. If he dares to betray you, Master, I will be the first to not spare him and will definitely kill him.”

After hearing Lan Jian say that, Lin Yao smiled wickedly and said to him, "Lan Jian, why are you fighting and killing again? Girls should be more refined, otherwise how will you get married in the future?"

Lan Jian said directly to Lin Yaoxie, "Who said I, Lan Jian, am going to get married? I will never get married in this lifetime. I want to follow you, Palace Master, and serve you for the rest of my life."

Lin Yao smiled wickedly and said, "Then I would be harming you. Please don't say that, it will put me under a lot of pressure. You should still get married and settle down."

"When you four girls get married, I will definitely prepare a large dowry for you."

"Since you are all children without parents, Lingjiu Palace will be your maternal home from now on. If anyone dares to bully you, I will be the first to not let them off the hook."

The four girls were deeply moved after hearing what Lin Yaoxie said.

They had always cherished Lingjiu Palace as if it were their own home, and hearing Lin Yaoxie say this moved them even more.

However, all four girls stated that they would remain with Xiao Zhonglin and never get married.

In fact, Lin Yaoxie wasn't stupid; he could sense that the feelings these four girls had for him were extraordinary.

But he couldn't bear to harm these four girls, so he always treated them like younger sisters.

They thought that the palace master was a good person, but in fact, Lin Yaoxie was not a good person at all.

However, he didn't consider himself such a wicked person as to have ruined the lives of these four girls.

He is the master of Lingjiu Palace; if he wants any woman, he can have her.

Every single one of the people from Lingjiu Palace is as beautiful as a flower; they are all beauties.

However, Lin Yaoxie was only focused on mastering his martial arts and roaming the martial world, and seemed to have no interest in matters of personal love.

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself that he might have to leave this place someday, so he shouldn't commit any more sins.

The four girls were also aware of their own feelings; in fact, deep down, they all really liked their master, Lin Yaoxie.

Because they felt that no man in the world could match the perfection of their master.

Their master of the house is not only handsome and dashing, but also has a great physique, is kind and gentle, and treats them like family.

They felt that no other man in the world could compare to Lin Yaoxie, so of course they wouldn't marry anyone else.

So they all secretly made up their minds that they would follow Lin Yaoxie for the rest of their lives.

Although they couldn't express their feelings to Lin Yaoxie, they were willing to follow their master without any official status or title, and Lin Yaoxie was also very happy.

Lin Yaoxie looked around and found the street to be quite lively, with various street performers and vendors selling all sorts of snacks.

Lin Yaoxie saw many foods he had never seen before, so he went over to look at them all and, out of curiosity, bought them to try.

And so, the group changed the subject, continuing to eat and laugh.

Chapter 433 An Encounter with Kumārajīva

They bought everything that looked delicious, and in the end, they ate all the food on the street.

After the group happily returned to the pawnshop, they did not linger there.

Instead, they went to the rooms prepared for them behind the pawnshop to rest.

Looking at the large pile of food on his table, Lin Yaoxie said to the four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, "You can take these back and eat them. I don't really like these snacks either."

The four girls, Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, said, "Master, you should try it too. It tastes wonderful."

Lin Yaoxie shook his head and said, "I won't eat it. I'm not very interested in this. You guys take it back and eat it, and then share it with the shopkeeper's wife so they can all try it." So the four girls quickly took the food and went to find the shopkeeper's wife.

Surprisingly, the four girls got along quite well with the shopkeeper's wife.

The shopkeeper's wife, like the shopkeeper, was quite clever.

Moreover, they were treated very well, and Lin Yaoxie and his group stayed there for two days.

I feel this is too much trouble, and I need to leave here as soon as possible.

They wanted to continue and head to the next city to check on their businesses.

According to Mei Jian, the business in their city was actually a shop selling funeral supplies.
