Shen Xinglin still looked high-minded before, but after hearing this voice, his expression became a little more respectful.

The next moment, she had already flown out like a butterfly, and when I saw it again, she had already turned into a delicate look, holding the arm of the person who came, and said with a smile a little affectionate and shy: "Ninth grandfather, why did you come to Xinglin here and not say a word?" ”

Her tone is like a granddaughter being coquettish to her grandfather, which is natural and does not make people feel pretentious.

I naturally know the person who came, and it was the only person Shen Jingyun explained to me who could rely on a little in this village-Ninth Elder.

Before, when I was at the clan meeting, I also felt his kindness.

At this time, Shen Xinglin was coquettish to him, and he reciprocated with a kind face, my heart was a little cold, Shen Xinglin was the proud daughter of the sky on the side of the Shen family, and it was normal for the Nine Elders to favor her, maybe I, the only person I could rely on, would soon be unreliable.

Thinking of this, I sniffed and didn't shed tears, just stood stupidly, stubbornly clutching my luggage, waiting for the final "verdict".

During this period, Aunt Shen Liu's persistent attempt to take away my luggage was blocked by me.

And all of this was naturally seen by the Nine Elders and Shen Xinglin.

The Ninth Elder didn't have any special expression, he just smiled and said to Shen Xinglin: "I just came out for a walk at random, and I saw that it was not calm here, so I came to take a look." In the future, when I have time, I will naturally take the time to come to see you and test your practice, and you can't slack off. After practicing well, when I entered the Lord's house, it was different. ”

Hearing these words, Shen Xinglin smiled happily, she put her arm around the Ninth Elder, and said with a sweet smile: "Xinglin naturally knows how to work hard. ”

"Hahaha, it's good to know. But what is Shen Liu doing? Why do you have to grab the little girl's luggage brought by Jingyun? While speaking, the Ninth Elder looked at Shen Xinglin and said, "Xinglin, do you really want to lock this little girl in the Heart Refining Cave?" She's an ordinary person, and you know what's in the heart refining cave. It's going to kill someone. ”

The Nine Elders said with a puzzled look, but the kind of blame and dissatisfaction between his words could be understood by anyone.

Shen Xinglin's face changed slightly when she heard the Ninth Elder say this, she was not stupid, how could she not understand the meaning of the Ninth Elder's words? And Aunt Shen Sixth didn't dare to snatch my luggage anymore, because Elder Nine frowned slightly when he talked about her.

However, Shen Xinglin didn't lose his temper because of this, and after his face changed slightly, he immediately returned to his normal expression, and his smile became even sweeter. She said to Elder Nine with a little grievance: "Ninth Grandpa, it's really wrong to talk about Xinglin. Angry and confused. Grandpa Jiu doesn't think that Xinglin is not good-minded. ”

"Huh?" The Ninth Elder raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he didn't see any dissatisfaction on his face, he still had that kind look.

"Presumably, Ninth Grandpa also knows that Xinglin has been cultivating since he was a child, and Aunt Shen Liu has always taken care of him. Regardless of blood, Aunt Shen Liu is closer to me than my parents. Originally, she was made to be Lin Xiaoshuang's companion, and it was also out of Jingyun's brother's face, and I wanted to take care of her a lot. Ninth Grandpa, you know, I have regarded Brother Jingyun as an idol since I was a child. ”

"But I didn't expect Lin Xiaoshuang to be unaccustomed to so many rules in our village, so she first made me wait for a long time, and I didn't see anyone for a long time. That's it, Aunt Shen Liu couldn't stand it, and after saying a few more words, she was already very uncomfortable. Later, when I arrived at this yard, Grandpa Jiu, you also know that I love some flowers and plants, Lin Xiaoshuang touched it, Aunt Shen Liu must be distressed, these flowers and plants are not easy to cultivate. But she didn't want to, and when she said that she wanted to pay attention, she actually did it to Aunt Shen Liu. ”

When he said these words, Shen Xinglin's expression became more and more pitiful, but I was already so angry that I was about to sneer. Words are like knives, it seems that these so-called cultivators are not pure in their minds, and they can reverse right and wrong with just a few words.

But I feel that these nine elders have the intention of sincerely upholding justice for me, and just wanted to argue a few words, but Shen Xinglin quickly said: "Ninth Grandpa knows that Xinglin is the most careless person on weekdays. But when you meet someone who Xinglin cares about, it's easy to get dizzy. How could Xinglin see Aunt Shen Liu being manipulated? In a fit of anger, he said something that asked her to go to the heart refining cave. In fact, it is common for clansmen to make mistakes and go to the heart refining cave, Xinglin really didn't take into account that she was an ordinary person, after all, how can there be any outsiders in the clan who can stay overnight? And Xinglin is carrying hope and cultivating wholeheartedly, and his human feelings are a little worse. The important thing is that Xinglin just said it casually, scared her, and punished her slightly, and didn't really want her to go. ”

Shen Xinglin said this, I can't admire her if I don't want to.

On the one hand, she reminded the Nine Elders that I was just an insignificant outsider, and on the other hand, she emphasized her status in the clan, and even if she did, it would not be a big mistake. Plus care is chaos, what she cares about is Aunt Shen Liu, who grew up with her since she was a child, so affectionate, who can blame?

The most important thing is that she also emphasized that she didn't really want me to go to the Heart Refining Cave.

At this point, there is no point in arguing, but in fact, Shen Xinglin has already given in and didn't let me go to the heart refining cave.

Sure enough, after the Ninth Elder heard about it, he just snorted and said with a smile: "It's hard for Xinglin to be filial to Shen Liu." After all, Jing Yun dragged our people to take care of his friends, and it was always difficult to lock them up in the Heart Refining Cave. got out of the human life, even if Jing Yun can barely explain the past, the face of my Shen family is not good-looking. ”

These words are what the Nine Elders really want to say to Shen Xinglin, right? And Shen Xinglin also knows the meaning. said that he was defending me, but wasn't he reminding her?

At this point, I already have a complete understanding of what kind of person Shen Xinglin is, she can have such a status in the clan, not only is she outstanding in cultivation talent, but she also has a delicate heart.

I saw her to Shen Jingyun before, and I thought that this was a girl who expressed her emotions directly.

It's just that now, Shen Jingyun has been said to be not a genius, this Shen Xinglin seems to be a powerful person, why is he still talking to Shen Jingyun like this? Don't? …

I don't want to think about it anymore, now that I am in my situation, it is useless to analyze Shen Xinglin's thoughts. I just want to be able to live a day at a time, the days of suffering will not continue forever, even an ant will have a small moment of happiness, I firmly believe this.

At this point, the conversation between Shen Xinglin and the Nine Elders ended here.

But for some reason, the Ninth Elder hesitated slightly, and still said to Shen Xinglin: "This little girl is so ignorant of the rules, I have to explain a few words to her." After all, Jingyun is the descendant I like very much, and his elders also have affection for me. Therefore, I also have responsibilities and obligations. ”

This time in my heart, I was really moved, the Ninth Elder seemed to be blaming me, but in fact, he was also expressing his intention to defend me in front of Shen Xinglin.

I can already guess that in this village, the various forces should be intricate, and here, as long as the cultivators are not stupid, they should understand the truth of not taking a stand lightly, not putting things on the surface, and just doing things quietly. The Ninth Elder hesitated for a moment, but still reminded Shen Xinglin like this, it was not easy to make his position clear.

At the same time, I pretended not to know anything and walked up to the Nine Elders, while Shen Xinglin didn't show anything unusual, just returned to his courtyard quietly.

"Lin Xiaoshuang, I have to remind you to be careful in this village, and be cautious in your words and deeds. I helped you once today, but I may not be able to help you next time. Moreover, it is not possible to come forward to help you often, after all, I am not alone in this village. "In front of me, Elder Nine is much more direct, he doesn't intend to talk around in circles, it's up to me to understand it myself.

I nodded and whispered, "Thank you, Elder Nine, I will be patient on weekdays." ”

"Hmm." Elder Nine nodded with satisfaction, what he wanted, but it was also a promise that I would be patient, and his previous words were nothing more than a reminder to me, I may not have a good time in the future, he can't help in everything, and I can only rely on myself when I do a lot.

"You know how to endure, that's the hardest thing. Take a step back and think about it, you won't stay in this village often, your own life is the most important thing. What is there that cannot endure in order to live? I'll go first..."Speaking of this, the Nine Elders paused for a moment, and then said to me, "If you are worried about your life, you can come to me by all means. I also live above this village, not far from here, in that building. ”

As he spoke, the Ninth Elder secretly pointed out a direction to me, and I silently remembered it in my heart.

"It's like your hole cards, you can only use them once at most. You have to know for yourself to measure the situation, to see that you are not a real stupid person, I think you understand. Ay... Actually, it's not your fault! The human heart is terrible, and the jealous human heart is even more terrible. After saying that, the Nine Elders flicked their sleeves and really left.

I raised my head and took a deep breath, and then I still had to face Shen Xinglin and Aunt Shen Liu.

The Nine Elders didn't transfer me away from their side, and he would definitely not do such an obvious thing.

And I, on the other hand, lowered my head, squeezed out a few tears, and walked to Shen Xinglin's courtyard with my head down. At this time, Shen Xinglin had already returned to the house, and as for Aunt Shen Liu, after the Ninth Elder left, she reverted to her fierce and vicious appearance, she pointed at me and said, "Count yourself lucky, my Xinglin is kind enough to let you go!" Why don't you come in quickly? Watch your step, if you touch another piece of grass, be careful that I tear your skin, and then see if anyone will come to save you? ”

I didn't care about her words at all, I wouldn't be intimidated by such ferocity.

But in his eyes, there were more tears, and he looked scared and resigned.

Aunt Shen Liu seemed satisfied, snorted, stood in front, and stared at me as I entered the house, this time, I didn't touch a single piece of grass.
