Chapter 43 -42 (Humorous) Jing Chen_1
“Now, that’s an intriguing twist of fate,” Jing Youlan laughed after hearing what Mu Lin said.
Indeed, the young girl in front of them seemed to have some mysterious connection with the Jing family.
However.
“My brother’s temperament is a bit strange (actually, it’s a lot strange). If he happens to offend you unintentionally, I hope you can overlook it.” Although the two had met before, Jing Youlan wasn’t sure if his brother had paid any attention to the beauty standing before him.
Mu Lin was undoubtedly a stunning woman with a unique allure of her own.
Hearing his words, Mu Lin shook her head and said, “No, your brother is… quite humorous,” she chuckled. Despite his stern appearance, his sense of humour unexpectedly synergized well with him.
There was an awkward pause.
Jing Youlan found himself at a loss for words.
Humorous? Was she sure they were talking about the same person?
Jing Youlan found it impossible to imagine Jing Chen being humorous.
“Is that so? That’s good then,” he said, forcing out a laugh.
The image of Jing Chen smirking sent a shiver down his spine. That was the same man who could freeze others in their tracks with a mere look!
Someone was in outright disbelief.
…
The few people present, including Jing Youlan, were shocked by Mu Lin’s words.
Their disbelief did not originate from mistrust towards Mu Lin, but because they couldn’t associate Jing Chen, who was always cold and ruthless, with the cheerful person described by Mu Lin.
Unanimously, everyone at the table chose to let the topic drop.
Touching his nose, Jing Youlan walked back to his original spot. He had no mood for banter or flirtation. The two women sitting next to him were also quiet, they continued to steal glances at Mu Lin.
They envied her status, the respect, and affection she received from the nobles in the courtyard. They were also envious of her relationship with the legendary Jing Family’s heir – a character who only existed in hearsay among the decent aristocrats.
A character so prestigious that none dared to make overtures!
Through Jing Youlan, they knew what kind of person the Jing family heir really was; merciless, cruel, ruthless, resolute, and terrifying! He looked down upon women and was a revered figure within this group of young masters, almost godlike.
People like them would not even merit a glance.
Both women felt a surge of jealousy towards Mu Lin. Jealous that she had easily obtained what they had desperately yearned for. And just as easily, shattered their dreams.
Feeling a strange tension in the air, Mu Lin seemed unfazed. She poured herself a glass of water, took a whiff, and sipped on it.
“You didn’t bring me here to watch you stare at me, did you?” After a while, seeing that no one spoke, Mu Lin broke the silence with her frosty voice.
If all they wanted was for her to sit there, she would rather go back to her place and sleep or spend her time concocting poisons and antidotes, which was more interesting.

Ever since discovering that her private collection of poisons was circulating in the world, she had a feeling that it wasn’t the first, nor the last time.
The energy she used was draining. She couldn’t always use her own energy to save people. In this vast metropolis, cultivating this power was no easy feat.
Who was it, and when did they acquire her poison? If they also had Hades, even she wouldn’t be able to counteract it.
Perhaps it was time for her to develop an antidote for Hades.
As she pondered, Mu Lin’s expression and energy began to change, becoming increasingly cold to an extent that sent chills.
Looking at Mu Lin, everyone in the private room felt a complex mix of emotions.
If they initially thought Mu Lin was simple but later found her temperament slightly odd, now they felt an oppressive energy around her, similar to Jing Chen.
An energy that sent chills down their spines, made them tremble, and stirred their souls.
Suddenly, the energy dissipated, leaving Mu Lin with a clear and harmless look in her eyes.
“Mu Lin, just now…” What were you thinking? Your aura was quite frightening.”
Yang Yuebin hesitated before speaking. In that moment, he had felt an intense chill from within his core.
He wondered if Mu Lin was angry with them.
But he wasn’t too sure about that.
Shaking her head, Mu Lin sighed and looked at Zhang Mingzhe, “Have you found out anything about your father’s poisoning?”
Caught off guard, Zhang Mingzhe shook his head, “I am not too sure. Is there a problem?” He never involved himself in family affairs. Both his grandfather and father had never mentioned anything to him, especially since the incident wasn’t targeted at him.
More importantly, he had no interest in meddling in family or political affairs.
No one knew that Zhang Mingzhe admired Jing Chen and hoped that one day he would be able to join the military camp and relish the life he had been dreaming of.
Mu Lin pondered before nodding and saying, “If you get a chance, could you help me find out who was behind your father’s poisoning?”
