Chapter 173: Chapter 172: Protective Pendant
"Now you all see how formidable Brother Lin Yun is?" Zhang Long glared at them, speaking irritably.
"What are these school security guards? Yesterday, I saw even our county's commissioner fear him..." He paused, then continued speaking.
"What? The commissioner?" Some students were greatly startled.
"Little Tie, I slapped you just now. Don't feel wronged. Commissioner Qian, who is your father's direct superior, we saw yesterday at Yinghao Martial Arts Hall; he was quite wary of Brother Lin Yun. I slapped you to save you from putting your father in a difficult position..." Zhang Long nodded and spoke to the boy he had slapped earlier.
"Commissioner Qian... was wary of him?" The boy known as Little Tie gaped in disbelief.
"We saw it with our own eyes, could it be false? Yesterday, he even ordered the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall to shut down the hall within three days! You should know how powerful the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall is...
Right, I heard yesterday that the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall and two gold-medal coaches from the hall went together to Brother Lin Yun's master's martial arts school, and kneeled on the spot before Brother Lin Yun's master, hoping that his master would plead for them to Brother Lin Yun..." Zhang Long spoke.
"The owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall and the two gold-medal coaches kneeled before Lin Yun's master and hoped Lin Yun's master would plead for them to Lin Yun?" The student crowd was once again shocked.
Zhang Long was a legendary figure at their school, having learned martial arts at Yinghao Martial Arts Hall was a shared knowledge among many of the troublemaking students.
With Yinghao Martial Arts Hall recently making big moves in Immortal Origin County, and given the relationship between Zhang Long and Liu Yuan, they had heard that the owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall was really powerful.
Yet such a powerful figure actually kneeled before Lin Yun's master in hope that the master would plead for them to Lin Yun.
Only at this moment did they realize just how formidable Lin Yun truly was.
The boy known as Little Tie was truly scared.
"Brother Zhang Long, I really thank you for slapping me, for not allowing me to continue speaking..." Little Tie quickly expressed his gratitude.
At this moment, he was truly appreciative of Zhang Long.
Having such a position among the troublemaking students and living such a good life was entirely thanks to his father being a director.
If his father had really been put in a difficult position because of him, his sin would have been huge.
Not to mention others, even their entire family wouldn't easily let him off.
Zhang Long truly saved him once.
"From now on, just be a little more clever," Zhang Long glanced at him and said.
"Who would have thought, Sister Duoer's brother, our school's legendary figure Lin Yun, is actually Big Brother Lin Yun. If you ever see Sister Duoer, you must be polite. If I hear that someone has not been polite to her, don't blame me for not being polite to that person..." Then Zhang Long looked at everyone, and declared seriously.
Everyone hurriedly nodded in agreement.
They were joking! After seeing how formidable Lin Yun was, who would still dare to be impolite to Lin Duoer?
On the other side, behind Lin Yun and Lin Duoer, those students were also flabbergasted.
Just a moment ago, they were worried about these security guards looking for trouble with Lin Yun.
They didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the captain of the security guards was laughing and talking with Lin Yun.
Moreover, they could also see that this security captain and his men had great respect for Lin Yun, which made them admire Lin Yun even more.
Sister Duoer's brother was really formidable.
Even the security guards of their school treated him so courteously.
Lin Yun was already the idol of many of them, and at this moment, the aura of idolatry around Lin Yun in their hearts was thicker than ever.
Soon, Lin Yun bid farewell to those security guards.
Before leaving, Lin Yun asked those security guards to take more care of his sister.
Those security guards, naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
This was just a superficial arrangement.
Before leaving, Lin Yun also put a pendant on his sister, instructing her never to take it off, regardless of circumstances.
This pendant could, when his sister faced a serious attack or when her spiritual energy sent out a strong protective signal, release an energy shield to protect his sister. Thus, even if she encountered a firearms attack, she wouldn't be in danger for a short time.
The price of this pendant on the Cosmic Trading System was even higher than what he had paid for Xia Qingqing's protective underwear, costing him a total of ten Spirit Crystals.
Don't think that ten Spirit Crystals is not a lot.
This was because the resources on Earth were very abundant, which made it much easier for Lin Yun to acquire Spirit Crystals.
You should know that on the Cosmic Trading System, even some cheap small spaceships could be bought for just a thousand Spirit Crystals.
Lin Yun simply needed ten Spirit Crystals to quickly learn a martial technique.
The reason why he bought the pendant instead of similar protective underwear like Xia Qingqing's was due to the different nature of his relation with his sister and Xia Qingqing.
Buying protective underwear and asking his sister to wear it all the time would not look good, even if the protective underwear could stay clean all the time.
This was not an issue of cleanliness.
Similarly, he also bought two similar protective pendants, planning to put them on his parents when he returned home.
Now that his actions had attracted the attention of many forces, it was hard to say whether someone would target his family.
He didn't buy better protective items partly because he didn't have enough Spirit Crystals, and partly because better protective items required stronger spiritual energy to activate. His sister and his parents' spiritual energy were too weak, making it inconvenient to use better protective items.
And the more advanced protective products that didn't require much spiritual energy to activate, required many more Spirit Crystals.
There were protective items costing several thousands or even tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals, which he couldn't Afford now.
After resolving his business at Lin Duoer's school, Lin Yun took a taxi home and started hauling vegetables again.
Of course, the vegetables were being transported to Wangxian Tower.
Originally, the owner of Wangxian Tower, Wang Zhan, offered to send someone to pick up the vegetables, but Lin Yun did not allow it.
It was only for these couple of days that he planned to experience once again the life he used to live, the life his parents lived daily.
They did have several acres of vegetables in their family, which really needed to be hauled by a big truck. However, it wasn't for Wang Zhan to send someone to get them.
Although Wangxian Tower was high-end, it didn't require much vegetable supply each day. If he let the other party take over, they wouldn't be able to handle it all at once.
Although Wang Zhan knew many owners, they were all big bosses and none of them were in the vegetable business.
The vegetables being wasted after being hauled over was not a result he wanted to see, and he didn't lack the little money from selling vegetables.
He planned to ask his parents about how to handle those vegetables in a couple of days when his bodyguards arrived.
After hauling the vegetables from home, Lin Yun started walking towards the county.
As it had been the day before, Lin Yun practiced his stepping technique while walking, without any interference.
However, Lin Yun encountered someone along the way.
"Young man, it really is you!" An old man looked at Lin Yun, speaking excitedly.
