Chapter 198 Tuogu
"Yes." Zhongsun Lin nodded, considering the other party's words. He continued to explain, "If the Resentful Spring is allowed to rage, the entire world of immortal cultivation will be doomed. I have things to do, so I can't protect Li'er and Min'er. That's why I hope Master Lin can help me bring them to Xuanyu Sect."
"Do you want to block the spring with your body?" Lin Xuxi asked.
Seeing the other person's surprised expression, Lin Xuxi shook her head. It wasn't hard to guess. Since she had to use her heart's blood to suppress the resentful spring, what other methods could she use besides suppressing it with her body?
"Yes." Zhongsun Lin nodded.
I never thought that the other party was so smart and guessed it right away.
"Do they know?" Lin Xuxi asked again.
Zhongsun Lin nodded again.
After hearing that the two knew about this, Lin Xuxi's expression darkened. Perhaps Min'er cried when she saw the falling peach blossoms because she knew about this.
Lin Xuxi felt a little sad. She took the initiative to make tea and poured a cup for the other person. Under the pretense of offering tea, she asked, "Do they know about your orphan being entrusted to someone else?"
"I don't know, but they know they can't stay in Dongyuan Mountain for long." Zhongsun Lin sighed, "I've been looking for a place for them to settle down these past few years, but I didn't expect the spiritual energy to be so thin everywhere. I remember that the outside world wasn't like this before."
"Indeed, over the past thousand years, even Mahayana cultivators have been extremely rare. Why is this so?" Lin Xuxi recalled She Ji's words, but she didn't want to bring it up with Zhong Sunlin. Instead, she asked, "Why don't you ask them if they're willing to go to Xuan Yu Sect?"
The two had never left Longquan Villa and were afraid they wouldn't be able to adapt if they left suddenly.
"They both agree with you, and I've already told them that it shouldn't be too difficult. Just don't reveal the fact that they are monsters, otherwise it will cause trouble." Zhong Sunlin was still afraid of this. His younger brothers and sisters were too naive.
Hearing this, Lin Xuxi put down her teacup and explained, "If we want to go to the Xuanyu Sect, we must let the Sect Master know that they are demons so that we can make proper arrangements. Is it okay if only the Sect Master knows about this and keeps it a secret from everyone else?"
"Okay." Zhongsun Lin nodded. The leader of Xuanyu Sect, who is well-known in the world of immortal cultivation, should not be a bad person.
Lin Xuxi suddenly laughed and said, "Arranging your funeral so calmly makes me seem too cold."
"Would Master Lin care about this?" Zhongsun Lin sneered.
He really didn't like Lin Xuxi, but he knew she was the best person to entrust his orphan to. Min'er and Li'er, being in Xuanyu Sect, might be the best place for them.
"I will do my best to protect your brothers and sisters. It's sad but it's okay. I admire you." Lin Xuxi stood up, bowed deeply to Zhongsun Lin, and bowed deeply.
"Sorry to trouble you."
Zhongsun Lin stood up and bowed in return. If you say you are sad, then he is not sad. He has known that he would do this since he was born. He has been thinking about it all the time, but now he feels relieved.
"But I have a question." Lin Xuxi asked the person to sit down, handed over the tea, and asked, "I heard there's a treasure in Longquan Villa, is it true?"
"Not yet."
Zhong Sunlin shook his head without hesitation and said, "This is just fake news I spread."
Lin Xuxi was no fool, and she retorted directly, "You spread the news to get people to stay away from Dongyuan Mountain and not spy on Longquan Villa. But this news wasn't intended to be that way. It must have really leaked."
"That is not yours. Coveting it will bring punishment from heaven." Zhongsun Lin stood up, nodded, and prepared to leave.
"How do you know that thing isn't mine?"
Lin Xuxi stopped him and asked, "What use is that stack of white paper to you?"
When Zhongsun Lin heard Lin Xuxi mention the white paper, he turned around and looked at her with a puzzled look on his face. He seemed to have no idea how she knew those things.
Seeing Zhongsun Lin's expression, Lin Xuxi knew she had guessed correctly. She walked around the table and asked, "How do you know that thing isn't mine?"
Zhong Sunlin didn't answer, but just looked at him coldly. He obviously didn't believe Lin Xuxi's one-sided story.
Lin Xuxi said nothing as she pulled out a brocade box from her storage bracelet. She opened the box in front of Zhong Sunlin, took out the white paper inside, and asked, "Is this the thing?"
"How did you get it?" Zhongsun Lin snatched the paper.
This kind of paper is different from the one commonly used in the world of immortal cultivation. You can tell the difference just by touching it.
"Of course I do." Lin Xuxi snatched the thing from Zhong Sunlin's hand, put the paper back into the brocade box, and asked, "Can you give me that thing now?"
"Tell me how you got here first." Zhongsun Lin looked at Lin Xuxi.
After Lin Xuxi asked everyone to sit down, he explained in detail how he got these things, saying that he got the first stack in the secret realm, and then from the sect master and the Jinbao Pavilion.
She just glossed over it and didn't elaborate.
Just these evidences are enough, no need to say anything more.
Zhongsun Lin remained silent from the beginning, examining the woman before him. Every time she spoke, he would consider whether it was true or false.
Until the end of the speech.
The two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
"Master, don't you believe it?" Lin Xuxi asked first.
Zhongsun Lin was old-fashioned and conservative, but also prudent and cautious. He stood up, hands behind his back, and said coldly, "It's not that I don't believe it, but it's not appropriate to give it to you too hastily."
"Master, what else do you want to know?" Lin Xuxi asked.
"How do you know that there is one in Longquan Villa? You just fooled me and didn't explain it clearly." Zhongsun Lin listened carefully, not missing a word.
Naturally, he also knew what Lin Xuxi wanted to blur deliberately.
"I told you I dreamt it, but you wouldn't believe me." Lin Xuxi sighed and laughed, "Anyway, something like this might be useful in my hands, don't you think?"
"This is not for you to decide." Zhongsun Lin stood up and left.
Lin Xuxi did not call her and let the owner of the manor leave.
Even though Zhongsun Lin was in great turmoil in his heart, he never showed it on his face and remained cautious.
"Alin."
She Ji suddenly appeared out of nowhere, startling Zhongsun Lin. He was preoccupied with his own affairs and didn't pay much attention to whether anyone approached him.
"I saw you leave in a hurry and I don't know what happened." She Ji stepped forward and wanted to hold his hand, but this time he dodged her.
"Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you still here?" Zhongsun Lin shook off the other person's outstretched hand and said coldly, "Please leave."
"Why are you so fierce? I just slapped that guy twice. Is it necessary for you to do that?" She Ji snorted angrily and turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.
Waiting for someone to come and coax me.
But she was so angry that Zhongsun Lin didn't bother to explain anything. He just said, "Please leave." If he left now, he might still be alive.
"I won't leave! I won't leave!"
She Ji started to act like a spoiled child. She turned around, pouting and her eyes red, and complained, "Why don't you let that person go and make me go? I won't leave. Even if I die, I want to die with you."
