Chapter Twenty-Six: Someone Makes Trouble
In the corner of Sword King City, the grass is overgrown, most of the nearby houses have collapsed, only a few scattered dilapidated houses are still struggling to support, and there is no sign of human habitation.
In a dilapidated courtyard, a middle-aged man stood in it, rubbing his hands together, looking very anxious.
"Gah. ”
The wooden door of the courtyard was pushed open, and there was a sound that it was about to fall apart, and a man hurried in from outside the door.
The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"
His expression was full of hope, as if he was expecting something.
After seeing the visitor shake his head, the middle-aged man was like a deflated ball, drooping his head and muttering, "How should this be?"
Seeing this, the person who came carefully explained: "We searched the entire Tianxiang Workshop, but we didn't find anyone, and even the girls in the workshop were taken away by the people of the Sword King's Mansion. I asked the residents in the vicinity, and they all said that they hadn't seen Miss Magic. ”
The middle-aged man relieved himself and said with worry: "If something happens to Miss Demon, you and I will both die." In any case, the whereabouts of Miss Witch must be found. ”
The person who came hesitated for a moment and said, "Will Miss Demon ......?"
The person who came didn't dare to continue, and looked at the middle-aged man, hoping that the other party would understand what he meant.
But at this moment, the middle-aged man was already panicking, how could he still be in the mood to understand the meaning of the visitor, and said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it, don't swallow it." ”
The visitor swallowed, plucked up his courage, and said, "Could it be that Miss Witch is dead?"
"Smack. ”
A resounding slap hit the visitor in the face, throwing the visitor out directly, and a wisp of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. However, the person who came did not dare to resist, and ran back to the place with his head down.
"Bastard. The middle-aged man scolded: "Even if your whole family dies, Miss Demon will not die." If you say something like that again, I'll let you die right now. ”
After that, he opened his eyes and said sharply: "You listen to me, the people who are in the possession, even if they rummage through the entire Sword King City, they must find the whereabouts of Miss Demon Concubine." Otherwise, you will come to me. If something happens to Miss Magic, everyone won't be able to eat and walk around. ”
"Yes. ”
The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied in a trembling voice.
With that, he turned around, pushed open the courtyard door, and hurried out.
......
"Are you bothered?"
A furious roar came from the room where Lin Xiao lived, and the people in the Sword King's Mansion who were passing by looked dazed, not knowing what was going on inside.
But no one came forward to ask, and they didn't even stay long. Because today is the big day of the Sword King's Mansion and the 70th birthday of the Sword King, everyone is very busy, who is in the mood to care about such a trivial matter.
As early as the early morning, people continue to come to give gifts, and now the Sword King's Mansion is very lively.
In the past, Yurou would come to Lin Xiao's room early in the morning, but today this little girl had already left Lin Xiao out of her mind, shuttling through the crowd of the Sword King's Mansion, looking east and west, laughing constantly.
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Xiao sat up, rubbed his eyes that hadn't woken up yet, looked very haggard, and said helplessly.
Lin Xiao originally calculated that today was the birthday of the Sword King, and wanted to go to bed early so that he could have the spirit to perform well today. But the demon in the body was arguing endlessly, and since Lin Xiao rejected his proposal, the demon concubine kept talking and didn't let Lin Xiao fall asleep until two o'clock in the morning.
However, before dawn, the witch made a fuss again. Although trapped in her body, the demon can communicate with Lin Xiao through her mind. This night, Lin Xiao was tortured and scared by her.
How many times did Lin Xiao want to drive the demon out of his body, but he knew the danger of the Heavenly Demon and suppressed this impulse. Moreover, Lin Xiao couldn't do this at all.
The power left in Lin Xiao's body by the ancestors of the Lin clan was not something that Lin Xiao could control, and this power completely relied on instinct to protect Lin Xiao.
If Lin Xiao could control it, how could he seal his body, resulting in the inability to mobilize his energy.
Lin Xiao told the magic lady these truths, and with the intelligence of the magic sister, he naturally knew that what Lin Xiao said was true. But even so, the witch still refused to let Lin Xiao go.
The demon said innocently: "Idle in your body, I have nothing to do anyway, and I can't talk to other people, so I can only find you." ”
The witch also has a point, and others can't hear her when she speaks. Now in this world, the only person who can chat with her is Lin Xiao.
Listening to the lively cheers outside the door, Lin Xiao knew that the Sword King's birthday banquet was coming.
After stretching his back, Lin Xiao climbed up, feeling uneasy.
Today, Lin Xiao's identity was exposed in front of the Sword King, although he knew that the Sword King no longer blamed his mother, but Lin Xiao was still very nervous in his heart.
After all, this is the first time Lin Xiao has been honest with the Sword King, and it is also the first time that the two have recognized each other. Unconsciously, Lin Xiao's heartbeat began to beat faster, and the porphyry understood the ringing.
"What's wrong? You don't have a moment when you're not calm?"
The demon found Lin Xiao's abnormality and mocked.
After staying with the demon for a night, Lin Xiao has gradually developed the habit of ignoring the demon and not paying much attention to him.
However, at this moment, Lin Xiao especially wanted to find someone to talk to to relieve the tension in his heart, and said, "Today, I want to do something big." ”
"Cut, just you. The witch seemed to like to taunt Lin Xiao very much, and said, "What other big things can you do if you are such a small person?" Could it be that you won't pee your pants from today?"
Exhaling deeply, Lin Xiao said slowly: "Today I am going to recognize the Sword King." ”
"What's the matter? You're the bastard son of the Sword King?"
"Shut up. Lin Xiao really couldn't stand the witch, and a human word came out of her mouth, saying: "It's really a dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory." If you want to hear it, shut it up. ”
"Okay, I promise not to interrupt, you say. ”
Driven by curiosity, the witch succumbed.
"My mother is the daughter of the Sword King, and it stands to reason that I should be called the Sword King's grandfather, but my mother was expelled from the Sword King's Mansion by my grandfather more than ten years ago, and she has had no contact with the Sword King's Mansion since then. This time, I came to the Sword King's Mansion to celebrate my grandfather's birthday at my mother's request, and I also hoped to get the Sword King's understanding. ”
......
Lin Xiao talked eloquently and roughly talked about Lin Fan and Li Yuying.
"Now you know, I'm talking about a grandfather's grandson. ”
"You don't tell me how I know, the general recognition ......"
The witch said aggrievedly.
However, before the demon could finish complaining, Lin Xiao interrupted: "Okay, okay, I can't tell you clearly." Later, don't hurt me and say less. ”
Unconsciously, the two did not have the-for-tat confrontation they had last night. Maybe both of them have acquiesced to the current reality, and I am afraid that the two will have to live together for a long time to come. If you keep arguing, it's not interesting.
Lin Xiao had never mentioned his relationship with the Sword King to anyone, and this was the first time. With the demon concubine, Lin Xiao didn't have any scruples, anyway, she was trapped in Lin Xiao's body, and she couldn't say anything if she knew.
The demon concubine said unconvinced: "Who has done you a big deal?" To tell you the truth, there will definitely be people who will do bad things at the Sword King's birthday banquet later, but it must not be me. ”
"What do you mean?"
From the words of the demon concubine, Lin Xiao heard the hidden words, and it seemed that someone was going to make trouble on the sword king's birthday.
The demon said smugly: "It's useless to tell you, you'll know when you look closely." ”
Hearing the words of the demon concubine, Lin Xiao's eyes shot two cold lights, his hands clenched unconsciously, and he secretly sworn: "Today is my grandfather's seventieth birthday, if anyone dares to make trouble at the birthday banquet, I will definitely not let him go." ”
Putting on his clothes, Lin Xiao pushed the door and walked out.
