Chapter 337: Indeed, Lin Nuo Came to Assist Me
Lin Nuo saw that the young master was a girl.
But it seemed like he had seen her somewhere before.
Lin Nuo thought he was hallucinating, rubbing his eyes intentionally.
But it was still the same; he hadn’t mistaken her.
Either he had misidentified the young master.
That’s not scientific! Everyone just pointed at her, how could anyone get it wrong?
It was definitely her.
So why is that?
Lin Nuo didn’t know. He thought to himself that he hadn’t gone looking for any black agents; he had found her on his own, so how could he get it wrong?
Could it be that this little girl rose up? Did she directly become a major force in Helong Hall?
Back in the day, Liu Xuande and Wang Duoyu didn’t advance that quickly after acquiring the talents of Wulong and Fengchu.
It’s hard to say; the forces in the underworld change all the time, who knows?
Lin Nuo’s sudden appearance was quite timely; he resolved the crisis for Mu Yiting. Otherwise, if she had been caught off guard, she would have definitely gone down.
And Mu Yiting noticed Lin Nuo as well. At that moment, Lin Nuo’s disguise made him look very much like a figure from the underworld—scars, dark skin, tattoos, everything was there, he looked like a completely different person.
However…
Such tricks were utterly ineffective against Mu Yiting.
It was simple.
Even if he could change his appearance, that cold and fierce gaze of his couldn’t be changed.
Plus, she was an expert at disguises herself, and having seen Lin Nuo’s disguise before, she could naturally guess the gist of it.
Yet she didn’t speak it out loud.
Because it wasn’t the right time.
They were surrounded by underworld figures; everyone more or less knew of Lin Nuo. If she spoke up, it would probably invite unnecessary trouble.
As for why Lin Nuo was here, she didn’t know. Maybe he came to save her?
But now wasn’t the time to dwell on that.
First, break through and survive before thanking him.
“Thank you.”
Mu Yiting said a serious thank you and then resumed battling the enemies.
With Lin Nuo’s appearance, Mu Yiting was immediately invigorated, charging into the fray with renewed vigor. Just moments ago, she was struggling, but now her strength elevated, slashing down every enemy that approached.
However, the enemy numbers were still overwhelming; it was indeed tough with just their little group.
Lin Nuo felt that Mu Yiting seemed not to have recognized him and thought that since she might have become wealthy and formed a powerful force, saving her now seemed even better. He understood her; pretending to be a new member of the underworld would make it easy to mix in, right?
Suddenly a strong wind blew, dispersing the swirling dust, and they could see Mu Yiting fighting fiercely once more.
“Still haven’t captured her? Useless bunch.”
Angry, Mu Shi smashed his teacup onto the ground. As the leader, he didn’t want to intervene himself, yet this group of underlings couldn’t even capture Mu Yiting.
Plus, that kid who rushed into the battlefield—what a joke, coming in solo like he didn’t think much of them.
“Give me an arrow.”
“Yes, sir!”
His underlings hurriedly handed him arrows and a long bow. These were no ordinary weapons; they were specially crafted by him. The arrows were small yet possessed terrifying lethality.
He aimed to shoot Mu Yiting in the thigh during the intense battle, making her struggle.
He was confident in his archery skills; even in the chaos of the crowd, he could lock onto a target and shoot.
He jumped onto a rooftop, nocking an arrow to the string.
Drawing back and releasing!
The arrow launched like a fierce falcon targeting its prey, cutting through the air with tremendous momentum and charging toward Mu Yiting in the crowd.
At that moment, Mu Yiting was in the thick of battle; the arrow flew in like lightning, and she had no time to notice.
This arrow wasn’t aimed to take her life but was instead targeting her leg, intending to render her immobile.
However.
Lin Nuo charged forward, catching the incoming arrow with his bare hands.
He broke it.
Mu Shi was left dumbfounded. How could that kid catch his arrow with bare hands? Is this a joke?
“Sir, this…”
His subordinates began to feel embarrassed for Mu Shi.
“Again!”
Mu Shi refused to believe it. “Let’s try another arrow! Can you block this one again?”
As he drew the bowstring, suddenly, two soul-numbing needles flew towards him, striking his body directly.
Numbness surged through him.
Just as he shot, the arrow went awry.
It struck the behind of a chubby guy below, who then fell to the ground rolling and shouting, “Grass Mud Horse, which bastard shot me!”
At this moment, Mu Shi felt weak all over, about to fall off the rooftop.
“Sir, sir!!”
Fortunately, two of his subordinates were quick-witted and caught him just in time.
“Sir seems to have been hit by a hidden weapon; the hidden weapon is poisoned!”
They quickly carried Mu Shi down. The underlings below saw Mu Shi, lying still like a salted fish, and were thrown into a panic.
If the boss is in trouble, what should they do? Is he going to die?!
“Don’t panic! I’ll detoxify the lord.”
The accompanying physician began diagnosing Mu Shi, administering the antidote. Mu Shi slightly regained some strength and could move a bit.
“Mu, how is Mu Yiting doing?”
As soon as Mu Shi asked, he received a response from his subordinates:
“Report! Sir, Mu Yiting and the others have broken through and escaped!”
“Wha—what?! They broke through?!”
Mu Shi was furious. His meticulously laid plans had been foregone?
Everything seemed favorable; with so many people, surely they could exhaust Mu Yiting until she had no choice but to surrender.
But suddenly, a kid burst onto the battlefield, and then Mu Yiting broke through?
Damn it!
“Report, sir! The kid who rushed into the battlefield dropped something while escaping; we picked it up for you to see!”
Just then, a subordinate ran over, handing Mu Shi what he had found—a black object resembling a pineapple.
“What is this…?”
As he took the black pineapple, Mu Shi had an ominous premonition about the object…
“Not good!”
Just as he was about to toss away the black pineapple, it was already too late.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Mu Shi vanished into the black smoke.
…
Mu Yiting, along with just a few men, fought their way out of the siege, with Lin Nuo following closely behind.
Rescue the young master! Accomplished +1.
Though he had made wrong assumptions during the process, at least he got the result right and saved the young master. Now to continue playing dumb, acting like a new recruit in the underworld. Winning praise from the young master, dominating the entire underworld was just around the corner!
The bandits had still been chasing them, but after a huge explosion behind them, they stopped pursuing.
As they ran far away, they finally shook off the bandits.
Mu Yiting finally let out a sigh of relief. She had escaped death yet again.
And once again, it was him—Lin Nuo—who always stepped in to help her when she was in distress.
“Young Master, we’ve escaped the danger.”
One subordinate reported to Mu Yiting, who then reined in her horse.
“Mm, everyone has worked hard. Let’s take a short break.”
Mu Yiting addressed her subordinates and then looked at Lin Nuo, pretending not to know.
“Thank you for saving my life, young sir.”
“Rescuing the young master is something I should do; no need to mention it,” Lin Nuo intentionally modestly replied, putting on the attitude of a subordinate.
“Young master? You’ve joined Helong Hall?”
“Yes, I just joined; this is my first mission.”
“Hmm?”
Mu Yiting was secretly delighted. Indeed, Lin Nuo had come specifically to assist her!
