The shuttle in the second dimension

　As a powerful family in this country, of course the head of the Kurotsuchi family would not come out to greet Tian Daogong in person when he came to visit. Instead, the person who came out to greet him was a fat man.

　As soon as the man came out, he stretched out his right hand to Tian Daogong and said with a smile, "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Tian Dao."

　After seeing the bloated man, Tian Daogong's face flashed with surprise, but he concealed it well. In the blink of an eye, a smile appeared on his face. He also stretched out his right hand to shake hands with the bloated man and said, "It is my honor to meet you, Mr. Akaza."

　"I wanted to talk more with Mr. Tiandao, but the head of the family has already said that he will take you to see him after you arrive. What a pity." Akaza said with a hypocritical smile on his face and a look of regret.

　"Really? That's a pity. I was also looking forward to having a good chat with Mr. Akaza." Like Akaza, Tian Daogong also had a look of regret on his face.

　"Is that so~~~~" said Akaza with a smile, glancing at the people standing next to Tian Daogong, and asked in confusion, "Mr. Tian Dao, I remember there were five of you, why are there only four?"

　Tian Daogong was stunned by what Akaza said. He glanced around and then seemed to have discovered something. He shook his head and said with a smile, "Mr. Akaza, you missed one person."

　When Tian Daogong finished saying this, Lin Xuan consciously moved to the side, exposing part of his body, so that Chizuo could see that there was an inconspicuous person behind Tian Daogong.

　Glancing at Lin Xuan, Chi Zuo narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Mr. Tian Dao, you are using child labor~~~~"

Chapter 25: Black Iron Family

　"Child laborer!" Hearing Akaza's words, Tian Daogong chuckled and said, "It's true that he's a child laborer, but I don't care about that. I only care about strength. If his strength is sufficient, I will naturally hire him. ⌒ Magazine § Bug ⌒"

　"Oh~~~~ It seems that this kid is not simple. I was wrong." Squinting his already small eyes, Chi Zuo looked at Lin Xuan curiously, as if he wanted to see something from him. Unfortunately, Lin Xuan didn't want to give him the chance to look at him. After Tian Daogong finished speaking, he stood behind Tian Daogong again, covering his body, so that Chi Zuo could not even look at him.

　Of course, Chi Zuo would notice Lin Xuan's little tricks, but he didn't pursue it. After all, he was just a child of about ten years old. Although he had amazing talent, as the head of the branch of the Heitie family, Chi Zuo had seen those children with extraordinary talents.

　"Okay, let's go, Mr. Tiandao. I don't think the head of the family wants to wait too long." As he said that, Akaza made a 'please' gesture.

　"Really? Then let's go. If I keep Master Kurotsuchi waiting too long, it will be my fault." Tian Daogong followed Chi Zuo into the Kurotsuchi family residence. Lin Xuanyue, John, and the others also followed silently behind them.

　The Heitie family's house is very large, much larger than Tian Daogong's villa, but compared with Tian Daogong's villa, the overall layout of the Heitie family's house is not luxurious. The overall feeling it gives people is generous and rigorous.

　After walking for a few minutes, Akaza brought Tian Daogong to a room. It looked like the current head of the Kurogane family was probably in this room.

　Sure enough, once they arrived outside the room, Akaza followed everyone else and said "sorry" before going back inside. Not long after, he walked out of the room again. At this time, Akaza said, "Mr. Tiandao, the head of the family invites you in."

　As soon as Akaza finished speaking, Tian Daogong glanced at Aritagi beside him and called out, "Let's go, Arita." After saying that, Tian Daogong opened the door and was about to walk in, while Aritagi followed quietly behind Tian Daogong.

　However, when Lin Xuan and the others were about to follow in, Tian Daogong, who had just opened the door, suddenly said, "Mr. Akaza, please help me arrange for them. I think I will have a long chat with Lord Kurotsuchi."

　"I understand, Mr. Tiandao, don't worry, this is not a big deal." Akaza leaned forward slightly and responded with a smile.

　"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Akaza." After saying that, Tian Daogong took Aritagi and walked in directly.

　After watching Tian Daogong enter the room, Chi Zuo said to Lin Xuan and the other two, "Three of you, follow me." After saying that, Chi Zuo didn't wait for their response and walked away. After Chi Zuo finished speaking, Lin Xuan and the other two looked at each other and then followed Chi Zuo's footsteps.

　Chi Zuo brought Lin Xuan and the other two to a reception room. After arriving at their destination, he said to them, "You three stay here now. You can leave this room, but I hope you won't leave more than twenty meters away from this room. After all, if the guards see strangers wandering around in the mansion, they will inevitably become suspicious, and it would be bad if they cause misunderstandings." After saying that, Chi Zuo didn't care whether Lin Xuan and the others heard his words or not, and he went straight to open the room and left Lin Xuan and the other two here, as if he didn't care about them at all.

　In reality, Chi Zuo truly didn't care about Lin Xuan and the other three. After all, they were just bodyguards, so why would he care? Perhaps, he cared more about Lin Xuan, but as for the other two, he didn't even bother to look at them. If Tian Daogong hadn't given him instructions before he entered the room, Chi Zuo might have simply left the three of them waiting outside. What he cared about now was what Tian Daogong had done to impress the patriarch.

　Originally, Akaza thought that he was qualified to join the transaction between the head of the family and Tian Daogong. However, what he did not expect was that the head of the family actually rejected his decision to participate in the transaction and excluded himself from the transaction. This is somewhat intriguing.

　All of this indicated that Tian Daogong's bargaining chip was probably not a simple one, so complicated that even he couldn't easily tell him. But Chi Zuo also knew that if the patriarch didn't want to tell him, then no matter how curious he was, he couldn't presumptuously try to understand the bargaining chip. Chi Zuo understood this principle.

　Elsewhere, after Chi Zuo left, Lin Xuan and the other two found a random spot in the room and sat down. After a moment of silence, Lin Xuan was the first to speak, "Are we going to stay here until the master finishes his conversation with the Black Iron Family's Patriarch?"

　As soon as Lin Xuan opened his mouth, John laughed and said, "What else? Are you just strolling around the Black Iron Mansion? The fat man just said that if we leave the room within 20 meters of the room, the guards will inevitably misunderstand us. This is a naked threat, clearly telling us not to run around, but to stay in this room and wait for the master to finish talking with the Black Iron family head."

　"Tsk..." Lin Xuan curled his lips and said with disgust, "When I see that fat guy, I really can't have the slightest bit of good feelings towards him. Especially his smile, it's so hypocritical and looks really disgusting."

　John and Shan Guxiu had no intention of stopping Lin Xuan's complaints. It was obvious that they didn't like Chi Zuo and the others very much. However, Shan Guxiu did remind Lin Xuan in the end.

　"You'd better keep quiet. If I remember correctly, that guy should be the head of the branch of the Black Iron Family. He is not someone we can afford to offend."

　"I know, I just talked behind his back. Anyway, he's not here now." Lin Xuan muttered with a pout. After sitting for a while, Lin Xuan stood up and said, "I'm so bored, I'm going out for a walk."

　Lin Xuan had just walked to the door when John called him, "That Chizuo has already said that we are not allowed to run around randomly, so you'd better not wander around."

　Listening to John's words behind him, Lin Xuan curled his lips and said, "Didn't he say that he doesn't want us to leave this room more than 20 meters away? Then I'll just walk around in this safe range." After that, Lin Xuan opened the door and walked out without giving John any chance to continue speaking.

　As he watched Lin Xuan leaving, a gleam of light flashed in John's eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Chapter 26: Kurogane Shizuku

　After leaving the room, Lin Xuan walked slowly in the corridor. While walking, he kept calculating how far he had left the room.

　Just when Lin Xuan walked to a place almost twenty meters away from the room, he heard a childish and cold voice coming from behind him.

　"who are you?"

　When Lin Xuan turned around, he saw the person who called him. It was a little girl who was one or two years younger than him. There was a hint of coldness on her delicate face that was not suitable for a child of this age. Her soft silver hair and skin like white jade reflected a gorgeous and soft light in the sunlight, which made people sigh at the beauty of this little girl.

　"I'm asking you a question! Who are you and why are you here?!" As if because Lin Xuan didn't respond for a long time, the little silver-haired girl frowned slightly and shouted with a little anger.

　"Lin Xuan is one of the bodyguards of Mr. Tian Daogong who came to visit the head of the Heitie family." Lin Xuan smiled with a slight raise of his lips.

　A flicker of disdain crossed the little girl's face when she heard Lin Xuan's words. It was clear she didn't believe what he said. "Huh! You can't even come up with a good excuse for lying, and you're still a bodyguard? Who would believe that?! I'm afraid you'll need someone else to be your bodyguard!"

　"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Lin Xuan said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.

　"Since you don't want to tell me,... Water foams fly away—[Xiao Shiyu]." As the little girl spoke, a small silver-bladed dachi appeared in her hand. Clearly, the dachi held in her reversed grip was her inherent spiritual armor, the [Xiao Shiyu] she was referring to.

　However, just when the little girl wanted to use the power of her inherent spiritual equipment, she felt a bone-chilling chill coming over her, freezing her blood and making her unable to move at all.

　Only then did she realize that the little boy, who had been a few meters away from her, had already stood before her, holding a pitch-black sword that looked like a katana, yet was different, to her neck. The chill that had paralyzed her was now emanating from the little boy.

　At this time, the little girl saw the little boy and raised her eyebrows, saying, "If I remember correctly, you should be the daughter of the head of the Kurogane family, Miss Kurogane Suzuku."

　Looking at the little girl in front of him, who was slightly shorter than him, Lin Xuan sighed softly. Actually, he had recognized the little girl's identity the moment he turned around. Originally, given his current status, he shouldn't have attacked the girl in front of him, the daughter of the head of the Kurogane family—Kurotetsu Jushiku. Doing so would have done nothing more than inflict hostility from the Kurogane family. But Lin Xuan attacked anyway.

　Just now, if he hadn't been so strong, he would have been knocked to the ground by Kurogane Jushizuku's inherent spiritual equipment, simply because she didn't believe the truth of what he said. This was simply a rich and arrogant young lady who liked to bully the weak. If that were all, Lin Xuan wouldn't have bothered to deal with her. But seeing her cold face and her disgust for humanity, he somehow remembered rescuing Sakura from Matou Zouken's clutches. Subconsciously, he wanted to teach this young lady a lesson and make her change her ways.

　"Although as the daughter of the head of the Heitie family, it is not a big deal for you to bully some weak servants who dare not resist, but that does not mean that you are right. So, I hope that you can correct some of your mistakes, young lady." After saying that, Lin Xuan took back the [Destruction] that was on Heitie Zhushi's neck.

　However, she didn't seem to listen to Lin Xuan's words. As Lin Xuan retracted his sword, she swung the [Xiao Shi Yu] in her hand, as if she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Lin Xuan. Unfortunately, Lin Xuan noticed her movement the moment she started to move. Just as she was about to swing the [Xiao Shi Yu] in her hand, Lin Xuan turned his wrist and directly hit Hei Tie Zhu Shizuku's wrist with the back of the [Xiao Shi Yu], knocking the [Xiao Shi Yu] in her hand directly to the ground.

　"What's the matter, Miss Kurogane, you don't seem convinced?" Looking at Kurogane Shujuku who was covering her wrist tightly with tears in her eyes, Lin Xuan shook his head and asked helplessly.

　"Wuwu~~~~" With her mouth tightly closed, Kurogane Jushizuku looked at Lin Xuan with confusion in her heart. She now only felt her wrist was burning hot, and the tears that kept spinning in her eyes slowly slid down her smooth white face.

　At this time, John and Shangushu, who were waiting for time to pass in the battle in the room, also felt the magical aura suddenly emerging in the corridor, and hurriedly ran out. Then, they saw the current scene.

　Obviously, not only Lin Xuan knew Kurotsuchi, but John and Shan Guxiu also knew Kurotsuchi, otherwise they would not have shown such surprised expressions when they saw her.

　However, when they saw the tears streaming down Kurogane Jushizuku's face and her slightly swollen wrist covered with her hand, they both felt their heads pounding, and looked at Lin Xuan with a bit of horror. Those wide eyes seemed to be saying to Lin Xuan, "Why are you messing with her for no reason?! She's a little ancestor!!!"

　Unfortunately, Lin Xuan ignored the horrified looks from John and Sangu Xiu. He retracted the [Destruction] in his hand and slowly walked towards Black Iron Pearl.

　On the other side, seeing Lin Xuan walking towards Kurogane Juju, John couldn't help but yell, "Lin Xuan, what do you want to do?!"

　Facing John's low growl, Lin Xuan had no intention of answering. He slowly walked in front of Heitengzhushi, took out a bottle of potion from his pocket, and regardless of Heitengzhushi's opinion, he directly grabbed his slightly swollen wrist, poured the potion on it, and massaged it with his right hand to allow the potion to better penetrate the skin.

　"Ouch!!" Obviously, although Lin Xuan's massage movements were very light, it still made the eight-year-old Kurogane Jushizuku feel some pain, making her cry out in pain.

　"The redness and swelling will disappear after a while. Take this as the punishment for your mistake this time, Miss Kurogane." After saying that, Lin Xuan walked past Kurogane Juju.

　When Lin Xuan walked past her, Kurogane Jushizuku turned around and stared at Lin Xuan's back with her eyes still filled with tears.

　John saw this scene and thought that the eldest daughter of the Heitie family was angry and dissatisfied with Lin Xuan. He could not help but yelled at Lin Xuan, "Lin Xuan, hurry up and apologize to Miss Heitie!!!"

　However, Lin Xuan seemed not to hear what he said and walked past him neither fast nor slow. When he reached the door arranged by Chizuo for them, Lin Xuan turned his head and said with a sneer, "John, did I do anything wrong? Why should I apologize?!" After that, Lin Xuan stepped into the room.

　And Kurogane Jushizuku looked at the door where Lin Xuan disappeared with complicated eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Chapter 2 Kurogane Shizuku

　Kurogane Jushizuku said she was deeply troubled. She had never before experienced someone like the boy named Lin Xuan, who had bluntly told her they were wrong and then punished her. Although her wrist was still red, swollen, and painful, and even her face still bore traces of tears, Kurogane Jushizuku knew she was filled with joy.

　She wanted to find someone like that. Even if he wouldn't pamper her like her elders, even if he was harsh and strict with her, she just wanted to find someone worthy of her respect. And Lin Xuan's appearance made her feel like she might have found him. As long as he was by her side, perhaps she wouldn't have to associate with those boring and filthy adults she had met so far, and could become someone different from them.

　"If you really persist like this and don't change yourself, then you are the kind of person I am looking for." Looking at the door where Lin Xuan disappeared, Kurogane Jushizuku whispered in her heart.

　Then, after glancing coldly at John and Sangu Shu, Kurogane Jushizuku turned and left.

　When John and Shan Guxiu saw the cold extension of Kurogane Juju, they instantly imagined Kurogane Juju's furious look towards Lin Xuan. They looked at each other, and then both saw deep helplessness and innocence in each other's seriousness.

　"Lin Xuan seems quite mature, but...it's true that no matter how mature a ten-year-old is, he's still just a child." John said with a headache, scratching the back of his head irritably.

　"It's already happened. There's no point in saying anything now. The most urgent thing is to tell the housekeeper about this and have him take Lin Xuan to apologize to the young lady. Otherwise, it's going to be very ugly. Look at 'Mao.xian, Chinese, online.'" Shan Guxiu said with a slight frown. This time, he also felt that Lin Xuan had been a little careless. Kurogane Juju is not an ordinary child who can be taught a lesson. She is the daughter of the Kurogane family patriarch. Even if it is necessary to teach her a lesson, it is the business of the elders, not an outsider like you.

　"Come on, come on. We have to make Lin Xuan admit his mistake. We can't let him act on his own will. Otherwise, if that young lady goes to his father and makes a scene, it will be difficult to deal with." As he said that, John hurried towards the room that Chizuo had arranged for them. As soon as he walked into the room, he saw Lin Xuan lying leisurely on the sofa in the corner of the room with his clothes loose, his legs raised and swinging from time to time.

　As soon as he entered the room, John was furious when he saw Lin Xuan's carefree appearance. Although in his heart, John had always wanted to possess Lin Xuan, and in his mind, Lin Xuan was excellent and delicious. But Lin Xuan's incident this time made John feel that he was too ignorant of the seriousness of the matter, and it made him feel crazy. "Lin Xuan! You are still in the mood to sit here now. Do you know what you just did! ! ! ! "

　"What did you do?!" Lin Xuan half-opened his eyes, raising his eyebrows slightly. He looked at John, who was fuming with anger, curling his lips and sneering. "Why, you're not here to persuade me to apologize to that young lady, are you?!" If you really want to do that, then of course I'll apologize to that young lady if I'm wrong. But if I haven't done anything wrong, don't expect me to apologize. That's impossible.

　Seeing Lin Xuan's nonchalant expression, John's face suddenly darkened. "You really don't want to apologize?"

　"No." Sitting up from the sofa, Lin Xuan looked at John and said firmly.

　"It's not up to you whether to go or not." As he spoke, a magical power rose from John's body. It was obvious that he was about to take action.

　"John, calm down. Are you going to fight in the Heitie family? That will only make the master lose face and be embarrassed!" At this time, Shangu Xiu walked in from outside the door and stopped John who wanted to fight with Lin Xuan in time.

　After saying this, Shangu Xiu frowned and looked at Lin Xuan, "You shouldn't have been so reckless as to offend that young lady. Although she is very talented as a Bladebreaker, she is only an eight-year-old girl. With your strength, you can completely dodge her attacks and let her not hurt you at all."

　"You two don't have to worry about this matter. I will explain it to the housekeeper when the time comes." Lin Xuan said impatiently with a pout.

　"You!!!" Looking at Lin Xuan's impatient look, John glared at him, not knowing what to say to him.

　"Since you've said that, then you can talk to the housekeeper and the head of the family about this yourself later." Shan Guxiu sighed, pulling John closer. Shan Guxiu knew this was the only way out. What else could he do? Forcefully capture Lin Xuan and bring him before the eldest daughter of the Black Iron family to apologize? That wasn't realistic. He and John couldn't possibly work together to capture him, could they? That was even more unrealistic. Perhaps if he and John teamed up, defeating Lin Xuan wouldn't be difficult, but then everyone in the Black Iron family would know about the three of them fighting, which would only make the outcome worse.

　And just like that, the atmosphere in the room became extremely oppressive and strange. It wasn't until an hour later, when Aritagi arrived, that this atmosphere completely ended.

　As soon as he walked into the room, Aritagi felt the strange atmosphere in the room. He couldn't help asking, "What's going on? What happened?"

　After seeing Aritagi, John and Yamaguchi both breathed a sigh of relief, and then both pointed at Lin Xuan, indicating the reason for his strange atmosphere.

　"You're back, Butler Arita." After discovering that Arita Mu had returned, Lin Xuan also sat up from the sofa, rubbed his head as if he had just woken up, half-closed his eyes, and said leisurely.

　"Lin Xuan, what happened?" For some reason, when Arita Mu saw the looks in John and Yamaguchi's eyes, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

　"What happened~~~~" As he said this, Lin Xuan glanced at John and Shan Guxiu and said with a low laugh, "Can you two go out for a while? I want to have a good talk with Butler Arita."

　Lin Xuan's words made John and Shan Guxiu frown. They looked at Aritagi, as if asking what he meant.

　"You guys go out first. I want to have a good talk with Lin Xuan." Although he didn't know what Lin Xuan wanted to do, Arita Mu still agreed to his request and asked John and Yamaguchi Shu to leave the room.
