A hundred steps outside the hall, behind a big tree, Lin Ning stood solemnly, with an impermeable expression on his face, as far as he could see, but he never left the Ming Hall.

After a long while, when he saw Xuan'er walking out of the gate safely, his long-standing expression showed a hint of relief.

Since the beginning of the matter, he has been following Xuan'er to the outside of the Ming Hall, waiting here, listening to the internal movement and holographic listening, until he saw her leave safely at this moment, he let go of his heart.

He came here to be silent, just to ensure Xuan'er's safety, and he handed over the jade flute to her, on the one hand, to rescue Xuan'er, and on the other hand, naturally to consider Lin Qian.

If the people in the hall saw the treasure and didn't know what to do, he wouldn't mind killing it all the way in. With his current strength, although it is a little difficult to besiege him, if he wants to leave wholeheartedly, no one present will be able to stop him.

The breeze is not in vain.

As soon as Xuan'er came out of the Ming Hall, she pressed her hand on her undulating chest, and gasped for a long time before she left suddenly. It seems that everything just now was just a nightmare.

However, although she escaped, she was not too excited, but there was a hint of pity in her beautiful eyes. After all, Tian Lai was of great significance to Lin Ning, and in order to save himself, he did not hesitate to hand over the jade flute to himself.

She sighed lightly, knowing that the matter had come to this point, and there was no point of recovery, so she had to leave quickly, otherwise she would be angry again, and she was afraid that all the price that Lin Ning had spent on her would be in vain.

Moreover, Lin Ning's kindness, Xuan'er understands that she will not be finished in her life, and she has made up her mind that no matter what happens in the future, she will be by his side for the rest of her life......

Lin Qian came out of the hall, saw Xuan'er go away, and was about to walk back, but he felt a hint of familiarity, and hurriedly looked around, only to see Lin Ning behind the tree, staring at him with a pair of cold eyes.

He looked at Lin Ning, quite ashamed, and couldn't speak, without waiting for him to speak, but saw the other party signaling, pointing to the back mountain, and he knew that this was not the place to speak, and after nodding in response, he saw Lin Ning's figure disappear behind the big tree.

From beginning to end, it was only a hundred steps away, and the guards in front of the door didn't realize it at all, which made Lin Qian think a little more about Lin Ning's strength, and at the same time, he was even more jealous in his heart.

Think about the past, I thought that martial arts were promising, and my status was quite prosperous, that is, in front of others, domineering, and unstoppable, but now it seems that in the eyes of others, what is the difference between myself and the clown who jumps the beam.

I only ask him to forgive the past and be kind to himself.

He sighed slightly, walked out of the Ming Hall with low steps, and headed towards the mountain behind the palace.

The back mountain is back, it is the back of the palace Xiang, although it is close to each other, but it is inaccessible, since the last rain landslide, the only way up the mountain has also been sealed, and the place where the trail must pass, Lin Qian vaguely remembers, is the tomb of Lin Ning's mother, many years ago, he had gone to worship with Lin Feng.

At that time, the reputation was still there, and as his wife and concubine, the bones were not cold, and those with children and grandchildren had a worship every year, but later Lin Ning had very little status, his reputation was middle, and he was humiliated, and he was stubborn, withdrawn, and after moving out of the palace, he never went to worship.

That's a full 12 years!

Lin Ning is seventeen years old this year, four years older than himself and Lin Yuan, and it wasn't until he became sensible that he knew that he had a down-and-out brother outside.

It's just that at that time, he was the pearl of the family, although he was related by blood, but it was difficult to see Lin Ning, otherwise he wouldn't care about such a down-and-out brother.

When Lin Qian recalled the past all the way, he had already stepped to the foot of the back mountain, but he saw that the mountain was rocky and the rotten wood was broken, but fortunately, his martial arts skills were very good, although the force was not there, but the mountain road of this difficulty still did not make it difficult for him.

I saw him holding a stone in his hand, jumping up with his strength, it was extremely easy to go up, and when he walked up the mountain step by step, it was already the color of the sky.

After autumn, the sun shines down, the trees are flourishing, and the mountain road is dotted with golden light, and along the way, you can feel the late autumn temperature in the mountains, and Xun is pleasant.

Lin Qian's heart was also relieved for a long time, seeing the fluttering of the pineapple and the yellow leaves all over the ground, he had a sense of walking, and the gloom in his heart seemed to disappear by half.

Half an hour later, he walked in, only to see a half-human marble monument standing on the top of the mountain.

The wind blows cold, the grave bag is full of fallen leaves, the grass cage is withered and yellow, only to see that under the dry soil, there are several pillars of fragrance, floating with faint fragrance, wisps are continuous, and in the earthen bowl, put some food for sacrifice.

Lin Qian looked away from afar, only to see the wild geese returning south, the breeze floating, and the steepness was intentional, but it was extremely depressed, which made people feel nostalgic. He stepped forward, knelt on the ground, raised three pillars of incense, kowtowed three times to the stele, and said: "For more than ten years, you have been lonely and miserable, watching the south and north of the wild goose alone, and Lin Qian is not filial, and he bows here three times in order to apologize." ”

After speaking, he inserted the fragrance in the middle, and bowed three times, and when he turned around, he saw Lin Ning with ice in his eyes, and he stood behind him very calmly.

"It's been twelve years." Lin Ning stepped forward and stroked the mottled stone stele, a few words on the stone tablet had been weathered for many years and had become blurred, and there was a trace of silence in his eyes.

Or sighed, Lin Ning's sentence made Lin Qian's heart feel like a stalk, and his throat was stuffed, making it even more difficult to speak. Facing Lin Ning at the moment, he was actually at a loss.

"I'll find a way to get it back for you." After a long time, he came up with such a sentence, but it made Lin Ning laugh: "The jade flute is a relic left for me by my mother, but your beast father and ancestor are wolf-hearted, I have been abandoned by them for many years, but at this moment, I still want to take away my last thought, you say it is hateful?" ”

He turned around and asked rhetorically, his eyes full of disdain.

Seeing that Lin Qian didn't answer, he said: "Tian Lai is a peerless treasure, left in my body, some people are worried about it, it is also troublesome, it is better to temporarily hand it over to the immortal master for safekeeping, so that Xuan'er will be rescued, and you will be relieved." Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

As he spoke, Lin Qian's complexion changed several times, and then he spoke: "As soon as you say it, I, how can I not know what you mean, don't worry, from now on, I, Lin Qian, am willing to be a cow and a horse, but the jade flute is natural, I don't want to fall into the hands of thieves, and the thief is an immortal master worshiped by the imperial court, you can't provoke at will, if you want to get it back, I'm afraid it's a lot of trouble." ”

"Huh." Lin Ning laughed dryly, "You don't have to be a cow or a horse, I just want you to promise me one thing." After he finished speaking, he stared straight at Lin Qian.

In the depths of his eyes, Lin Qian only saw endless indifference, which made him can't help but shudder, "What's the matter?" ”

"Xuan'er stayed in the palace, full of dangers, and now she has escaped a catastrophe by relying on natural things, but I don't know what those bastards will do with her next time, and I have no skills, I can save her for a while, but I can't save her for a lifetime, so ......" He suddenly lowered his eyes and said helplessly: "You take Xuan'er away, so that you can settle down, just after the coming-of-age ceremony." ”

When these words were said, Lin Qianhao was surprised for a while, how could he not know Xuan'er's identity, but he was his dearest, and he actually let himself take it away with peace of mind? He was silent for a while, and then nodded indifferently and said: "Okay, I promise you, but now that I have a very small status in the palace, it is still difficult for Mingzhe to protect himself, not to mention that there is also a womanizer, Lin Yuan is worried about Xuan'er's beauty, but he is afraid of ......"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ning already understood what he meant, but he saw Lin Ning touching his chin and thinking for a while before he said solemnly: "In this case, I can let you resume your previous force and re-learn the Nine Palace Palm, but you must keep all this secret." ”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Qian's eyes were already round, and his surprise was indescribable......
