Durin's Diary

Chapter 1068 A Color That Could Move

"Look at you, all cowardly. I thought you were going to say something tough." The girl in the middle of the group, who had previously called the Liu family boy a tailless monkey, poked the back of his head with her finger and laughed.

"What's so tough about it? Can my broken mouth be as tough as Brother Dulin's fist?" The guy looked embarrassed, and then he embellished the story in front of the girls, talking about Dulin's legendary achievements in the Three Passes and Four Seas.

Du Lin smiled wryly—the kid called out "brother-in-law" in a hurry when Du Lin flashed over.

Later I found out that according to seniority, this guy actually had to call Xiangshu his cousin.

"Speaking of which, I'm starving. Where should we go for a meal?" Xiang Shu asked Du Lin.

"Let's go, let's have a nice get-together." Du Lin felt that since they were already here, they should treat his sister to a good meal.

"Brother, take me with you?" The Liu family boy blurted out, leaving Du Lin somewhat helpless—this kid was even more of a tough nut to crack than Romir. Oh well, he didn't care about having a few more mouths to feed.

Hearing Dulin's invitation, the other girls were very happy, but the girl who had just poked him on the back of the head was still a little unhappy: "How can you be so shameless?"

"So what if he's shameless? He's my brother-in-law." The young man from the Liu family said, giving the girl a fawning smile. "You too, cousin. Let's go together."

Xiangshu smiled and reached out to hug her sister, who was still angry: "Alright, don't be angry with him. Don't you know that the only thing about this kid that's not right is his mouth?"

Knowing this, the eldest sister of the Liu family still seemed angry about her cousin's cowardly behavior.

Dulin thought the kid's cowardice was stylish—after all, most of the cowards had been beaten up by Dulin, and some of the worse ones were even separated by death.

It's not far from here to Xiangjianhuan; the group strolled there laughing and jokingly in just over ten minutes.

Natalia, led by Dulin, was in a state of shock the whole time—the most prestigious commercial district of Chang'an Avenue in Beijing gave the girl a sense of awe, realizing that this was true urbanization.

When they arrived at Xiangjianhuan, she caught the eye of the two elderly ladies in the foyer. They hugged Natalia and exclaimed that Dulin's little sister was incredibly cute.

You know what, Natalia has probably been praised for her beauty quite a bit at the academy, but this is probably the first time she's been called cute, and she even blushed a little shyly.

There happened to be a private room available, so Du Lin let the girls order their own food and then chatted with the two elderly ladies for a while.

Meanwhile, the young man from the Liu family shamelessly came over to pay his respects to the two old ladies. It must be said that although this young man was glib-tongued, he was a reliable young man in the eyes of the elders. He even received encouragement from the old ladies, which made Du Lin change his opinion of him.

Dulin had already prepared to kill the kid if he dared to covet his sister.

Looking at him now, if we straighten him out, we might be able to spare his life.

"By the way, aren't you going to order food?"

"I eat whatever the girls order. That's my good point—I eat everything. I'm very easy to please."

See, he's starting to talk glib again.

Dulin was amused, and was about to chat with the kid about the navy when a voice called out from behind him: "Isn't this Dulin? What brings you here today, little brother?"

Du Lin turned his head and immediately recognized the smiling old man in front of him—this old man surnamed Mo was there when Lao Pang brought him to Xiangjianhuan for dinner.

"Mr. Mo," Du Lin greeted with a smile, "I accompanied Xiang Shu and her sister out today, and also spent time with her classmates."

"Mr. Mo." The young man from the Liu family, abandoning his previous glib tongue, bowed respectfully to the old man.

The little dragon beside Mr. Mo also bowed to the young man from the Liu family, saying, "Senior Brother."

"Oh, my little Tenth Prince, come here and let your brother Liu hold you." The boy's expression immediately changed when he saw the child in front of him. Du Lin smiled and offered Mr. Mo a cigarette, then pointed to the Liu family boy who was holding Little Candle Dragon: "He is..."

"My unworthy disciple, though he's usually glib, he's quite serious when it comes to important matters," the old man said with a smile.

Dulin nodded—that's true, how bad can a young man with color blindness who still wants to join the army be?

The old man then introduced the child: "Little Tenth Prince, His Majesty's grandson."

Dulin nodded—this kid had been mentioned by Lao Qi before; he was his younger brother, and now that he looked at him, he was quite adorable.

At this moment, Xiang Shu came over. She greeted Mr. Mo, then took her younger brother from Liu's son and put him down, tidying up his clothes for him: "Alright, little tenth brother, you play with this little sister for a while."

He looked at Natalia and nodded.

Du Lin raised his eyebrows.

"Fine," he thought, and smiled at the same time, "Don't go too far."

"Is this Mr. Dulin's younger sister?" Mr. Mo asked, looking at the two children standing in front of the landscape painting on the wall of the hall.

“My sister, my own flesh and blood.” Du Lin nodded with a smile: “She’s the only sister in both my families. She was a little devil when she was young, but now she seems to be more sensible.”

“Kids will be kids, there will be times when adults can’t handle them.” Mr. Mo nodded with a smile: “Their bloodline is surprisingly pure. I heard from the people at the Candle Dragon Pavilion that she came here following your coordinates.”

Dulin nodded—the Candle Dragon Pavilion would definitely have detected her arrival, but considering she came with Dulin, they probably didn't take it seriously.

"Incredible! Awakened at such a young age! Her future is limitless. Young master, are you considering sending her to the Candle Dragon Pavilion? It's not that we're boasting, but the Candle Dragon Pavilion really doesn't teach any good skills in the Western Continent."

While this statement may have been somewhat biased, it wasn't entirely wrong—indeed, at the mage academy, Natalia was still pursuing the path of a mage. Given her talent and potential, she would have had a much better future if she had chosen the path of a celestial master.

So Dulin looked at Mr. Mo and said, "I will ask my mother about this matter. By the way, what do you think of this young tenth prince?"

"He's very talented, but his temperament is too gentle," Mr. Mo replied with a smile.

This isn't just revealing the true colors; it's practically selling the prize.

After silently complaining to himself, Du Lin smiled and nodded, "It's okay for a child to be a little timid; it's a good thing they'll be responsible when they grow up."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a large dog darted out from the second floor.

Du Lin raised an eyebrow—this is an actor too?

While he was still hesitating about whether to make a move, the young tenth brother shielded Dulin's sister behind him.

But Dulin's sister pulled a miniature pistol from her small pouch, slipped it under Little Ten's arm, and pulled the trigger on the big dog.

The dog let out a dry howl and collapsed into a pool of blood.

Dulin glanced at Mr. Mo.

He was stunned.

So he wasn't an actor after all. Du Lin breathed a sigh of relief, then reached out and stopped the charging kid in place.
