Chapter 578: Lin Nuo’s Resentment

Lin Nuo had known for a long time that the dignified image of those so-called well-bred young ladies was nothing but a facade, a complete scam in this spirit cultivation world.

Yet he remained optimistic, believing they at least had some limits.

Now, here we are, causing a ruckus in the dead of night—I completely underestimated their capabilities.

Disturbing the peaceful dreams of others at night and attracting a bunch of guards? This is clearly a recipe for social embarrassment.

Have you all thrown your images away? Are you out of your minds?

Fortunately, Luo Yi had a capable lackey named Han Xiao, who managed to hold back the guards and prevented them from witnessing this embarrassing scene.

Now the question arises: Luo Yi is the princess’s lackey, Han Xiao is Luo Yi’s lackey, but does Han Xiao have other lackeys under him, forming a tightly-knit chain of lackeys?

With the guards outside, Han Xiao hurried inside and shut the door to avoid being seen by anyone outside.

“What are you all doing? Miss Luo, Miss Liu, stop, just stop!”

She rushed over, trying to pull Lin Nuo out, but dragging Lin Nuo out was no easy task. Her presence seemed to ignite their competitive spirit, and soon they were fighting even harder for Lin Nuo’s attention.

Lin Nuo was in a pickle; after waking up from a medicine-induced stupor, he only wanted to lie down and recover. But instead, he was yanked around by them.

It seemed that every time he fell into a drug-induced coma, it led to nothing good. They always took advantage of it, and if things escalated, the consequences were dire—like this time, where the bed had collapsed!

“Liu Shuqin, stop it! Are you going to let Lin Daxia rest or not?”

“Please don’t interfere with my relationship with my junior martial brother!”

“You two, the guards are outside. Please maintain your images; after all, you are both noble young ladies!”

Han Xiao was also trying to persuade them, but Lin Nuo remained unfazed, appearing as a sage who had seen it all, prepared to embrace death, with no intention of intervening.

If persuasion actually worked, would we need public officials at all?

“Master! Master! What’s wrong with you?!”

Li Ruo’er, still wearing her apron, heard the commotion and rushed in. She had a key, unlocked the door, and discovered Liu Shuqin and the others bickering over Lin Nuo.

“Ah! What are you all doing to my master?!”

Li Ruo’er couldn’t stand it any longer and rushed in, joining the fray.

Lin Nuo felt that waking up was a mistake and wished he could sleep a bit longer.

The room was filled with the girls’ clamoring, causing quite a racket, leaving the guards outside utterly baffled.

Is this really training? Training at this hour? What kind of training could it be? There were four young ladies and one young master inside; Lin Daxia’s stamina must be impressive!

However, as they thought this, tears of frustration streamed down the guards’ faces—happiness was reserved for others, while they could only listen from outside.

“What’s going on?”

Lord Liu Feng, the city lord, also arrived to inquire about the situation.

“My lord, it’s reported that the young ladies are inside training, which has caused a stir throughout the residence.”

“Training? In the middle of the night? What kind of training is that? How inconsiderate.”

Liu Feng was also irritated; practicing at such a late hour was simply inappropriate.

However, he pondered: his daughter was always sensible, well-educated, and kept regular hours—why was she suddenly disturbing the peace at this hour?

This won’t do; I should go check.

Liu Feng indeed heard the noise inside and began knocking on the door.

“Shuqin, what’s going on? It’s late; stop training for a moment. Shuqin, if you don’t stop, we’re going to break down the door!”

“Father, we’re fine. Sorry!”

Liu Shuqin’s voice came from within; their scuffle had quieted down a bit, not quite as rowdy as before.

“Really? I heard something inside…”

“It’s fine; we merely lost track of time while training, we apologize and will be more cautious.”

Though Liu Shuqin said this, she still didn’t open the door—her appearance was disheveled, and the scene inside was a complete mess, making it impossible to face him without embarrassment.

“Father, please go back and rest. I’m truly sorry!”

After a string of apologies, Liu Feng still had his doubts, but there was no point in lingering outside; he couldn’t break down the door, so he left.

The guards outside all dispersed, and the young ladies inside breathed a sigh of relief.

Once they collected themselves, they realized just how chaotic the situation was—one of the beds had completely collapsed!

Lin Nuo struggled to sit up; although he had been yanked around, he still needed to maintain an air of royalty and treat everything with indifference.

“So, what were you all up to? Do you want the whole world to know how disheveled you look?”

Lin Nuo sat up and reproached their behavior, and they obediently sat up, listening to Lin Nuo’s admonition.

But really, would they change? That’s still up for debate.

“Sorry, junior martial brother; it was my fault for starting all this. I lost control and caused this ruckus. I truly apologize.”

Liu Shuqin had returned to her senses; she wasn’t as mindless as before. Now she didn’t even know why she had wanted to get close to Lin Nuo—she had completely disregarded her own image and had even planted passionate kisses on him.

How strange.

However, after that wild kiss, it felt unexpectedly delightful. Now, seeing the various lip marks left on Lin Nuo, she felt a sense of pride.

“So, Master Sister, are you under some kind of spell? What is this behavior…”

Lin Nuo deliberately glanced into the mirror; his neck and face were covered in Liu Shuqin’s lip prints. If someone didn’t know any better, they’d think he’d just been overpowered by a lover.

“Just consider it that I was confused, junior martial brother. But junior martial brother, it’s not just me—Ruo’er sometimes goes even further, and you seem to be unfazed.”

“How could I not care? I certainly admonished her.”

“Really? Because all I heard was Ruo’er saying you cared about her. Regardless, I’m only concerned about you, junior martial brother. I was wrong; please forgive me.”

Liu Shuqin bowed and apologized profusely, her sincerity evident. They say you shouldn’t strike a smiling face. With such an earnest apology from Liu Shuqin, it seemed Lin Nuo would feel guilty if he rebuked her further.

Forget it, it was pointless to try to match wits with Liu Shuqin. This young lady could talk her way out of anything; even if he acted recklessly, she would seem indifferent.

As for scolding her, there was no way he would put on a facade while speaking sharply—it was neither interesting nor productive.

Given that, he decided to let it go.

“Then what does it mean when you tore my clothes?”

Lin Nuo shifted his gaze to Luo Xiaoxue and the others, launching right into another round of reproach.

“It was all to save Lin Daxia!”

“Your method of saving implies you killed or destroyed the hostage?”

“No, I was merely concerned about Lin Daxia. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have acted impulsively. I was in the wrong—please punish me, Lin Daxia!”

After saying that, Luo Xiaoxue hastily apologized, her sincerity overwhelming. It was hard to take her reprimand seriously; at least argue back so he could counter!

“Li Ruo’er, you…”

“Master, master! Ruo’er is also at fault; I should have stayed by your side and not left you. Therefore, I plead for your punishment—I’ll keep your bed warm for a month!”

Li Ruo’er was utterly earnest, begging Lin Nuo for his punishment.

Lin Nuo: “…”

Are you serious?
