But how could Miao Wan'er have known
that the "Sima Dongming" she and Ma Nanfeng had painstakingly sought to curry favor with, even willing to spend their entire fortunes to approach, obeyed Lin Xuankong's every word?
Even the various rare and precious jade stones they had wanted to help Huang Yun'er collect were merely things Lin Xuankong and Li Changming needed!
Of course, although Miao Wan'er did not truly think highly of Lin Xuankong, she still conducted herself with some restraint and did not show any contempt for him. She had the upbringing of a proper young lady from a distinguished family, rather than being some vulgar, arrogant wastrel who looked down on others like a dog eyeing people from a high perch! Moreover, Miao Wan'er's father truly was a man of loyalty and feeling. His concern and care for "Lin Qiang," a fallen household's son, were enough to move anyone!
Even though Lin Xuankong, whose soul had replaced Lin Qiang's, had to admit that a man of loyalty and feeling like Miao Yunhu was one one might not encounter even among ten thousand people—especially in such chaotic times. Miao Yunhu's only flaw was probably that he was a little afraid of his wife.
After watching Miao Wan'er leave, Lin Xuankong picked up the pistol from the table and casually fiddled with it, silently thinking,
If I'd had this pistol yesterday, it would have given me a little more assurance when going out. Now that I've entered the Mortal Transformation Layer Two Initial Stage, a stone I throw with all my strength is already nearly as powerful as a pistol bullet! The only things in this Spirit-Deprived Lesser World that can surpass a stone thrown with my full strength at Mortal Transformation Layer Two are probably rifle and machine-gun bullets!
