Chapter 529: Chapter 247: Lin the Great Shows His Power_2

How formidable is your teacher?

Can they compare to Oppa? An annual salary of a hundred million, Dragon Level reserved—aren’t you envious? And most importantly, Oppa is extremely good-looking!

Even as an older gentleman, he’s still a handsome uncle; there must be quite a few young girls willing to throw themselves at him.

"Bai Ci, Master Bati Shan said the gift you gave me is very valuable. Could you please take it back?"

Jin Enxi took out the little box from her purse and handed it to Lin Baici.

At that time, she thought the box didn’t look special and probably didn’t contain anything valuable, but who knew it would be worth a hundred million.

Bati Shan might have exaggerated, but even after a hefty discount, it should still be worth twenty-five million, right?

That number is also quite impressive.

Even someone like Jin Enxi, who is not short on money, couldn’t just ignore it.

"It’s not valuable, just a small gift!"

Lin Baici said with a slight smile, "I hope Auntie won’t disdain it!"

"Does your father know?"

Jin Enxi thought that Lin Baici might be trying to pursue her daughter and had stolen something valuable from home. If that was discovered, what if it led to a dispute?

"Mom!"

Kim Myungjin called out, Why bring up the most inconvenient topic? She quickly leaned in and explained to Jin Enxi, "Oppa comes from a single-parent family and was raised by his mother."

"Ah?"

Jin Enxi hurriedly apologized, "It was thoughtless of me! But please take back the gift, I can’t accept it."

"Ying Zhen, then you take it and keep it for Auntie!"

A gift given by Lin Baici, how could it possibly be taken back? Moreover, he had such a large female mummy in his Black Tripod Bowl; he reckoned he would never be able to finish it in his lifetime.

"What is this?"

Kim Myungjin took a look and realized it was the kind of shredded meat they had eaten in the provincial museum.

Ah!

So much for Bati Shan calling himself a master, yet being so easily shocked by some shredded meat. If Oppa casually brought out any of his Taboo things, wouldn’t Bati Shan be scared to death?

"Mom, just accept it!"

Kim Myungjin urged.

"Let’s eat! Let’s eat!"

Lin Baici changed the subject.

They continued eating for a while, and then Jin Enxi excused herself to go to the washroom, taking Kim Myungjin with her.

Inside the room, only the five students of Master Bati Shan and Lin Baici remained.

Giggling! Giggling!

That laughter sounded again.

It didn’t spook Lin Baici; rather, it made him a bit hungry.

"Aren’t you scared?"

Akunzha stared at Lin Baici as he ate a bite of fried beef.

He was testing. Clearly, one couldn’t expect Bati Shan to do this kind of thing; that would be beneath his dignity.

Lin Baici didn’t engage him, instead he reached for his backpack, opened it, and took out the Bodhi Messenger’s Cassock, draping it over himself.

He didn’t want to reveal the Black Tripod Bowl, so he had put a few Taboo things in his bag before arriving.

Bati Shan was leisurely eating a charcoal-grilled saury, but when he saw the Kasaya, his eyes bulged like a shark that had smelled blood, radiating a greedy aura. Still, he was a cunning master and immediately concealed that greedy look.

Lin Baici took out a turtle shell and toyed with it while watching Bati Shan, "I hear you’re good at Divination. How about I do a reading for you?"

Whoosh!

Bati Shan didn’t take the bait, his eyes fixated on the turtle shell in Lin Baici’s hands. He wanted to maintain the airs of a Great Wizard, but he couldn’t manage it.

Hee hee! Hee hee!

The amulet he kept in his pocket laughed and quivered, indicating it had detected a valuable treasure.

"How dare you! In the presence of a master, what pretense are you trying to pull?"

Akunzha rebuked.

Lin Baici was dressed too casually, looking like a child from an ordinary family, which is why Akunzha showed him no respect.

"Heh heh!"

Lin Baici laughed, put down the turtle shell, picked up a drink, and took a sip.

If they couldn’t even recognize Taboo things, how dare they play tough here?

Believe it or not, I could summon the Muscle Buddha and pound you to death?

The turtle shell lay on the table, and Bati Shan’s right hand clenched tight. He really wanted to pick it up and look, but his intuition warned him it was dangerous.

If he took it, most likely, he would be the one in trouble.

"How about a divination?"

Lin Baici didn’t know the full extent of the other party’s capabilities and was hesitant as to whether he should reveal the stockings given by the mad maid, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Just one Kasaya and a turtle shell had already made this Bati Shan apprehensive.

"Are you a God Hunter?"

Bati Shan couldn’t figure out Lin Baici’s strength. He seemed to be less than twenty years old, but why was he so confident?

The profession of a God Hunter grows stronger with age, because the older one is, the more God’s ruins they have explored, which also means they have absorbed more Meteorite, harbored more Taboo Things, and accumulated more experience in purifying rules pollution.

A twenty-year-old young man, how many God’s ruins could he have explored? Even if he went in, I reckon he was just going through the motions. I don’t believe he could break Divine Ruins on his own.

"He’s bluffing me!"

Bati Shan’s eyelids drooped like an old dog falling asleep, giving his fourth disciple a covert sign.

"Then do a divination for me!"

The fourth disciple who had been sitting in the corner, silent for the most part, suddenly spoke up.

His name was Acha Long, speaking in Goryeo language. Although his pronunciation wasn’t quite pure, Lin Baici understood him.

All thanks to Gu Qingxiang’s tutoring.

"Sure!"

Lin Baici smiled slightly, bent his index finger and tapped the turtle shell on the table.

"Do I need to give my name, or my birth date and time?"

Acha Long asked.

Lin Baici didn’t speak because the ’Turtle Spirit’ spoke for him.

"Prostrate with utmost respect, presenting three offerings, valuing heaven as much as we value gods and spirits!"

A long, drawn-out chant suddenly filled the VIP room. It was rhythmic and haunting, as if a Great Wizard from a primitive tribe was making human offerings in a sacrifice, praying to the gods for good fortune or to foretell ill fate.

The Turtle Shell spoke in ancient Chinese. Acha Long and his companions didn’t understand it, but that didn’t stop them from feeling both reverence and fear.

Swish!

Their complexions changed, the appetite for fine food lost, and they stared at the turtle shell on the table as if facing a formidable enemy.

This was one of the Taboo Things!

And it was the kind that could speak.

Generally, Taboo Things with self-awareness were extremely terrifying.

Acha Long looked at Bati Shan pleadingly and muttered a couple of sentences. He didn’t want to do the divination anymore.

"Don’t be afraid. He wouldn’t dare to kill anyone here, would he?"

This was a rare opportunity for Bati Shan to probe Lin Baici’s depths, and if they clashed in the future, knowing the rules pollution of this Taboo Thing would provide a means to contain it.

Gurgle!

Acha Long nervously swallowed a gulp of saliva, "Sta... start the divination?"

Lin Baici picked up the turtle shell and flicked it up into the air with his thumb.

Bati Shan’s group followed its ascent and then its descent.

Nothing unusual happened.

"Turtle shell divination, asking the gods for a spirit’s message, today brings great misfortune!"

"You will encounter groundless calamities; to touch bone is to die!"

The Turtle Spirit had been waiting for months and finally found an opportunity to divine; it immediately went for the kill, looking to boost its spirits by killing someone first.

"What’s it saying?"

Acha Long inquired, his expression tense.

"It says you have good luck today!"

Lin Baici smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the food in front of Acha Long, ribs, saury, chicken soup...

Several dishes with bones in them were still untouched.

"Really?"

Acha Long felt relieved.

"Aunt Jin is a friend’s mother; I hope she stays safe and unharmed. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Baici put the turtle shell away.

From what Eater God had reviewed, this old man probably wanted not only Jin Enxi’s wealth but also her person.

"I came to Goryeo because Ms. Jin spent a fortune to ask me to treat her father!"

Bati Shan explained, "You might have misunderstood something?"

"I’m going to the restroom!"

Lin Baici stood up, stretched out his hand and smoothed out the Kasaya he was wearing, flattening the folds.

Once Lin Baici left, Akun Za started to curse in a low voice, "Teacher, that guy is too arrogant. You should teach him a lesson!"

"Posing as a god or ghost!"

Wang Saguang sneered, "If he knew about your reputation in Siam, he would be scared to death!"

"Shut up, eat your food!"

Bati Shan picked up a piece of saury with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, his ancient face betraying nothing, leaving others wondering what he was thinking.

Acha Long took a sip of chicken soup and moved a plate with saury closer to him. This dish was great; he wanted some more.

...

In the restroom, Jin Enxi was lecturing her daughter.

"You should show Master Bati Shan more respect, do you understand?"
