Chapter 272: The Separated Man
Lin Xi looked at the city lord and smiled innocently: "Father, you talk first, Xi'er will go cook." ”
Lin Xi left, Lin Chen's gaze kept staring, and he never withdrew his gaze until the other party disappeared from view.
"Ahem!"
The city lord coughed lightly, and his face was full of positive colors, locking on Lin Chen like this.
"Lin Chen, wait for me in the courtyard after dinner. ”
"Hmm. ”
The two of them stopped talking, and were silent with each other, both thinking about the doubts in their hearts.
Although he was very happy at this time, after all, when he saw Lin Xi, his doubts also became stronger, although Lin Xi just now looked exactly the same as Lin Wan'er, but obviously his personality was a little different.
Lin Wan'er belongs to the more well-behaved type.
And Lin Xi is the innocence of the girl next door.
This couldn't help but remind me of what the Supreme Elder of the Snow Clan had said before, and it could also be concluded that this Lin Xi's deity had indeed cultivated some kind of secret method to separate his seven emotions and six desires.
There is also the fact that Lin Xi is definitely not the biological daughter of the city lord, not to mention the fright in his eyes just now, just by seeing Lin Xi, he can guess that she is the seven emotions and six desires separated from the body, which naturally proves that she is not his own child.
After thinking for a long time, a pleasant voice sounded before the two got up.
"Father, son, it's time to eat. ”
Lin Xi walked over with a smile on his face and came directly to Lin Chen's side: "Childe, you are coming to our house for the first time, Xi'er will take you there." ”
"There's Miss Lao Xi'er. ”
"Childe doesn't have to be polite. ”
Watching the two of them walk out of the hall one after the other, the city lord in the back was speechless, shook his head and left.
.....
followed Lin Xi around the City Lord's Mansion, and then came to the dining room.
"Childe, try this, this is Xi'er's specialty dish, braised yellow croaker. ”
"And this, steamed mini duck. ”
"This... This...."
As soon as he sat down, Lin Xi kept introducing dishes to Lin Chen, and the smile on his pretty face became more and more intense.
The city lord and his wife on one side were speechless when they looked at such a scene, but they were also smiling, and they were not too surprised, as if they had expected it.
Although he was already in the Supreme Realm and could not eat, under Lin Xi's introduction, he still ate two large bowls.
And for myself, these two bowls are definitely the best meals I have ever eaten.
The meal ended in laughter, and Lin Xi was completely a pistachio, making everyone laugh with every word he said.
After the meal, the stars twinkle and night falls.
In the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Chen and the City Lord met and stood together.
The city lord was the first to speak: "Tell me, what do you know?" ”
"Tell me what you know. ”
Under the cover of night, the city lord looked at Lin Chen and said.
also glanced at the other party and said directly: "Before I say anything, I need to know if Xi'er is your biological daughter, so that I can be sure of my inner thoughts." ”
As soon as these words came out, the city lord was silent, his eyes flickered, revealing the color of memory, and he looked up at the stars in the sky.
After a long time, he let out a long breath and shook his head.
"It's not. ”
"Nineteen years ago, when I had just stabilized in the battle city, I remember that day when the sun was setting, I returned from the war city prison, and when I opened the city gate, I saw a child wrapped in brocade at the foot of the city gate. ”
"When I saw it, although it was in the brocade, she didn't cry, but her face was full of smiles, innocent smiles. ”
It was this smile that made me forget all the worries in my heart, and I made up my mind to raise her at that time. ”
"Coupled with the reflection of the sunset, I will take Lin Xi for it. ”
After saying it in one breath, these city lords sat directly on the stone bench, with a doting smile on their faces.
"In the past 19 years, Xi'er has been very obedient, and her smile can always heal others, whenever I have something troubled, as long as I see her smile, I can always be happy. ”
When the words fell, the city lord fell silent, and his face was full of smiles.
And listening to the words of the city lord, he was also silent, according to what the city lord said, it proved even more that Lin Xi was the one who was separated.
He immediately looked at the city lord and asked, "Have you ever investigated Xi'er's background?" ”
The city lord showed a wry smile at this: "Why haven't you investigated." ”
"But the Outer Heaven is too big, and it is so difficult to find a child's life experience in such a vast Outer Heaven. ”
As he spoke, he locked on to Lin Chen: "What do you know?" ”
He didn't hide this, and said directly: "The city lord can know some more extreme secret methods, that is, by separating his seven emotions and six desires, the body can reach the legendary ethereal realm." ”
The city lord's face changed: "I know something." ”
"And it's not a secret in the sky. ”
"For example, the more famous Soul Palace, they have used secret methods to plant some souls on someone in the Nether all year round, and after hundreds of years of nourishment, they can improve their strength. ”
"I remember that there seems to have been such a pervert in the Immeasurable Holy Land, who abandoned all his seven emotions and six desires, and finally his strength increased by leaps and bounds, and he jumped to the top of the Great Emperor. ”
Then he said, "You mean Xi'er was separated?"
"No way, I've probed her breath, and I haven't found anything at all, and it won't be as you say. ”
Listening to the words of the city lord, he was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Presumably the city lord also found out, why I was so excited when I saw Xi'er for the first time, and even gave away immortal weapons." ”
"Because there are people on my continent who are exactly the same as Xi'er. ”
"To tell you the truth, the most important thing for me to come to Outer Heaven this time is to investigate this matter, and I want to find out who is behind the scenes. ”
As Lin Chen's words fell, the city lord was silent again, his brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into thought.
The next moment.
"What is the matter with the one you know? ”
As soon as the words sounded, Lin Chen's body shook suddenly, and the killing intent flashed in his eyes: "It's fallen." ”
"Brush!"
The city lord stood up directly: "You're lying!"
"In those extreme secret methods that I know, the separated person must not fall, otherwise, the ontology will be subjected to a very strong backlash. ”
In this regard, he was very indifferent: "If it weren't for some secret methods that you knew." ”
"To be clear, there are five separations, i.e., clones, that I know of at the moment. ”
"One of them is on my continent, the other is Xi'er, and there is another person I have only seen once, full of killing intent, like a female killing god. ”
"The fourth is the princess of the alien clan. ”
When he heard Lin Chen's words, the city lord was obviously not calm, and his brows furrowed into the word "Chuan".
"What about the fifth. ”
Lin Chen paused and continued: "I haven't seen the fifth one either, but I've heard that maybe the fifth person is dead, or maybe he is isolated somewhere and can't be discovered. ”
The city lord stared: "How do you know this?" ”
"On my continent, there is an elder of the Snow Clan's Holy Land, who came out by deduction. ”
"You are from the Lingwu Continent!"
The city lord suddenly exclaimed, his eyes staring at Lin Chen.
