Chapter 48: Trust
So far, I only know that Master Long Ying's plan is to make the Venerable Lord of [Lin] pay the corresponding price, and as for why they are arresting Fourth Brother Tianqi now, and whether there are other purposes and so on, I don't know.
And what I am most entangled with now is why the master has changed so much, just like Jingwen asked, what I am entangled with is the original intention of the master, whether he has always been like this, or has it become like this, if it is the former, then all the previous things are illusory, then the relationship between me and the master is just a relationship of interests.
"Second brother, what are you thinking?" Tianqi asked.
At this moment, Jingwen is already asleep, it takes almost a day for this boat to reach [Baicheng], we set off from the evening, and the sky is already slightly light at this moment, but I have been thinking about it, tossing and turning, and Tianqi happened to not fall asleep, so he came down to talk to me.
"Thinking about this world, why is there nothing trustworthy, I don't know if the second brother thinks too negatively, or the world is like this. I said.
"Alas, I have also resented the world for a long time, resented the person who harmed me, like you, but it wasn't until I repeatedly hovered on the edge of life and death that I finally understood that it was not the world that was like this, but someone who was like this, there were still many people in this world who were different from them, and there were many people who made us have a warm feeling of human nature, second brother think about it carefully, isn't it so?" Tianqi's immature voice said words that were completely different from it.
Listening to him, I suddenly thought of my mother, thought of Jingwen, and thought of those who had warmed me, it is true, not everyone is evil, there is a beautiful existence in this world.
"It is worthy of being a child who has lived for 200 years, and it has made me suddenly enlightened. I said.
"Haha, two hundred years old is still a child after all. Tianqi laughed at himself.
"By the way, I was about to ask you, why did you get up so early?" I asked.
"In fact, two hundred years ago, before I went out of the mountain, my father asked me to come out, originally asked me to help 'refine the demon' Kun Li Siqi, I had never seen the world at that time, I heard the wizard say that Kun Li Siqi was no longer in trouble, and then lost the gamble, plus no divine power, missed all kinds of opportunities, failed to complete the task, this time I go back, I think my father should be disappointed in me. Tianqi said.
"How old were you when you came out?" I asked.
"I'm only seven years old, so I can only use enough power to use divine power twice, but my father explained to me because he was so old that he could take on heavy responsibilities, and he wanted me to be like him. Tianqi said.
"I'm sure Uncle Yamagami will understand you. I was comforted.
Tianqi shrugged his shoulders, but felt that he still listened a little.
I don't know when I fell asleep again, and saw that I was still outside the room of the passenger ship, leaning on the door frame and sleeping, but covered with a quilt, and there was a faint fragrance on Jingwen's body.
"Are you awake?" Jingwen asked.
At this moment, she brought some food, full of fragrance, I couldn't help swallowing my saliva, I didn't know that there were meals to buy on the passenger ship, and I called Tianqi, and the three of us ate it, Tianqi still looked like that, after I fell asleep, he still didn't seem to sleep.
It's no wonder, after all, there has been an interval of more than 200 years, and the thought of the father and son being able to see each other again must have been calm for a long time.
And it didn't take long for the ship to dock, and the thought of returning to this [White City] again, after such a long time, couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
[White City] is still so prosperous, and when I think of the first time I came, those scenes were different.
But we didn't have to go long when a girl appeared in front of the docks, which alerted me to the fact that it was Arlinn.
We hadn't seen her for a long time, and she was haggard, waiting for us alone.
I couldn't help but use the "Taiyi Finger", thinking to myself that the "Dead Old Witch" group was probably around, and I must not let my guard down.
"Yinfeng, put it down, she's not an enemy. Jingwen said.
"But," I said, puzzled.
Not an enemy, but everything that has done so has shown that she is an absolute enemy!
"I asked her to come, you believe me, put down the finger first. Jingwen said.
"Okay. I still looked around warily.
But Arlinn waited in front of her with a bloodless face, and I didn't think anything else, and I thought that Jingwen wouldn't hurt me, and if she couldn't be trusted, then I would have collapsed.
So my fourth brother Tianqi and I followed Jingwen to Arlinn's side, and the moment Arlinn saw Jingwen, it seemed that she couldn't hold it anymore and fell backwards, and Jingwen hurriedly supported her, and Tianqi and I hurried to help.
I don't know what happened here, how the ever-shrewd Arlinn did it.
We were on our way to an inn, so I carried Arlinn on my back and we hurried over.
"Jingwen, you just said that she is not an enemy, but do you know what she has done?" I asked.
"Of course, ever since I met Arlinn in the prison of the Dead Witch, she has told me everything, everything she has learned, and what she will do in the future. Jingwen said.
"Huh? I asked.
"Actually, when someone was assigned to come to me at the beginning, things were not so simple, there were several forces involved, not divided by [Lin] and [Taiyin Society], when Luo Yin came, the person who was assigned was actually Youluo, and then the direct arranger of the 'Decayed Old Witch' group was the Lord of [Lin], but Arlinn didn't prompt the word Lord before that, so I didn't figure it out, but then I found out about it, and there is a third assignment, and they have actually been secretly protecting you. Jingwen said.
"Protect me secretly?" I asked, surprised.
"Yes, do you remember the first time Arlinn and I went to save you? That was the first time, and then when you were surrounded by everyone, and then imprisoned in the [Department of Justice-Prison], Arlinn secretly revealed your location, otherwise no one would know where you were, and then you were in the crisis at the [Taiyin Conference], there was a magic that was a mountain ridge that helped you solve the crisis, do you remember?" Jingwen said.
Indeed, at that time, the "refining demon" told me in a dream, "If you encounter an ice pick, don't turn your head, if you encounter a mountain ridge, take advantage of it", I did encounter this help at that time, and listening to what Jingwen said, it was completely consistent.
"And what is the purpose of this third force to protect me?" I asked.
"Their purpose is to let you live safely, as a 'marginal person', and hope that this seed of 'demon refining' will no longer be trampled on by the world. You should know who's helping you, right?" said Jingwen with a smile.
It seems that there must be Uncle Bai among them.
"Then why did Arlinn join the Withered Witches?" I asked.
"Because there are many hidden ditches in both Pro and the Yin Society, Arlinn has been using her identity to clear your troubles, but not long ago, she told me that her identity was threatened, and I had already received this order, so when I was on the ship, I told her to wait for me here, and I don't know if she had been hit by anything. Jingwen said.
Alas, I see, this makes me have a new question, and I don't know how this came to be.
We hired a carriage and traveled all the way, and finally came to the [Fengming Hotel], which looks very simple, surrounded by wooden houses, forming a different style from the surrounding houses, and there is no magic energy in it, everything is natural. It is full of plants, and above the roof, there is a red phoenix pendant that reads "Fengming Hotel".
It seems that we have found the right place, we asked for a room, and the gold sent on that island has not been used up yet, and now it is all used.
Jingwen took Arlinn to her room, while my fourth brother Tianqi and I were looking for someone downstairs, hoping to see Sima and Bai Jun show up on time, and there was a large room behind the counter where many people were drinking tea, drinking, and gambling.
It turned out that there were still these functions here, so Tianqi and I looked around, but it didn't take long to look for it, but I saw a very familiar figure, but I couldn't remember it for a while, I was about to stop there, and when I was looking for someone, the girl suddenly stopped me.
"Ink Wind. The girl was heard shouting.
I'm still wearing a mask at the moment, and the only people I can recognize are Jingwen and Master, but I didn't expect her to be able to recognize her at once, and when I didn't remember her much.
"You.. You don't remember me?" the girl asked.
I turned around, looked at it carefully, and suddenly had an impression, and said, "Is it the princess of the barbar?"
She smiled and nodded.
She was the little princess Xiao Qin'er who met in [Thunder Town] at that time.
"Why are you here?" I asked.
"You ask this?" Xiao Qin'er was a little mocking.
The people around them burst into laughter, and they didn't know what they were laughing at.
"Tell her. Xiao Qin'er said with a smile.
A boy dressed in service clothes said, "This inn is run by Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
I couldn't help but be surprised, I can understand that this people do business, and this princess can also open her own shop, and it is still a very well-known shop, which makes me a little incomprehensible.
"It seems to be a local tyrant. I said embarrassedly.
"Haha! It's time for me to ask you, why are you here?" Xiao Qin'er asked.
"Oh, by the way, I'm here to find someone, I don't know if you have a white-haired uncle and a young swordsman here, they came together. I asked.
Xiao Qin'er communicated with the surrounding staff, and then returned: "Yes!"
