Chapter 16: The Shadow Appears

Poof.

As soon as Lin Yan's words came out, Xi Xiaoyun was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud. In an instant, the smile was like a flower, and the whole world became colorful.

This Lin Gongzi, why is it strange and interesting?

As for Master Xia and Xi Ziyu, they were even more dumbfounded, what kind of way is this Lin Cheng?

In the eyes of a martial artist, a powerful exercise or martial art is not exchanged. Not to mention tens of thousands of taels of silver, even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver can't measure its value.

"Ahem, that Brother Lin ......"

Xi Ziyu coughed dryly twice to ease the embarrassing atmosphere: "Are you sure you don't think about it anymore? Our Xi Valve's martial arts skills are not like those third-rate goods on the market, and you don't have to be polite to me." ”

From his point of view, of course, he hoped that Lin Cheng would agree to use his martial arts skills as a reward. There is no other reason, just because there are really not many silver tickets on him......

But can he say it directly? If this thing gets out, then he still has to be embarrassed?

The top ten valve families can't even get tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets? Isn't this ridiculous and generous?

"Brother Xi, I don't have any other hobbies, I just like silver tickets. ”

Lin Cheng said bluntly: "When I was a child, I was used to being poor, and it is most reassuring to hold a lot of silver tickets in my hand!"

Exercises, he already has the "Demon Heaven Xuandian", and he doesn't need other exercises to replace it. As for martial arts, he felt that he should be able to get some suitable ones within the Xuanyue Sect.

And the elixir materials and heavenly treasures that refine the elixir are even more frivolous. His refining of pills was all systematically fast, and apart from consuming some spiritual power, it was simply zero cost.

"But I ......"

Hearing this, Xi Ziyu was directly stunned.

Brother Lin, why don't you play your cards according to common sense?

"Lin Gongzi, our brother and sister don't have much silver on them when they go out this time, please understand. Except for the silver ticket, whatever it is, our brother and sister will do their best to get it for you. ”

At this time, it was Xi Xiaoyun who spoke, with a look of apology on her pretty face, and skillfully resolved the embarrassment for Xi Ziyu.

"No silver ticket......"

Hearing this, Lin Cheng couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, and muttered in a low voice: "This is really a big loss!"

Can you not lose money? I gave away more than 5,000 points at once, not to mention making a lot of money, and I couldn't even return my capital.

Although Lin Cheng's voice was not loud, the few people present were not strong people with extraordinary cultivation, so they could naturally hear it clearly. Especially Xi Ziyu, his face became even more exciting, and his embarrassed look seemed to be trying to find a hole in the ground quickly.

After a while, Xi Ziyu struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and ruthlessly shook his heart!

I saw him take out a rather shabby-looking cheatbook from his arms, the page was still yellow, obviously some years, and on the cover was printed four slightly vague small words: "Asking the Heart Sword Technique".

When Xi Ziyu took out this cheatbook, Xi Xiaoyun's beautiful eyes couldn't help but flash a look of surprise.

She didn't expect that her eldest brother would be willing to take out this thing.

"Brother Lin, although I don't have a silver ticket, the value of this "Asking Heart Sword Technique" is definitely no less than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"

Xi Ziyu's eyes flashed with a touch of pain, and he said firmly: "This is the secret book of the sword technique that I accidentally got in the wasteland a few days ago, after cultivating to the Dacheng realm, I can even do it and travel for nine days!"

"Master Xi, could this be the secret book unearthed in that wasteland of Qingcang Mountain?"

As soon as these words came out, Master Xia's expression was shocked.

"Exactly!"

Xi Ziyu nodded.

"Clearing Mountains?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Cheng was a little confused, he didn't know what these two people were talking about.

However, seeing Master Xia's shocked look, it seems that this so-called sword recipe cheats should be of great value, didn't you see Xi Ziyu's expression that was about to be distressed?

"Brother Lin, please don't shirk, take it!"

Without saying a word, Xi Ziyu solemnly put this "Asking Heart Sword Technique" in Lin Yuan's hand, and quickly shifted his gaze, obviously afraid that he would regret it temporarily.

"Uh...... Then thank you, Brother Xi. ”

Seeing that the other party had made up their minds, Lin Cheng thought about it and was embarrassed to refuse again.

Although he was still thinking about losing money in his heart, how could he dare to say half a word again? God knows if Xi Ziyu would be forced to be in a hurry, and then go to someone to borrow money for him?

The face of the children of the Xivalve family still has to be given!

If Xi Ziyu knew what Lin Cheng was thinking at the moment, I was afraid that he would be so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, right?

......

After that, after Master Xia instructed Lin Meteoric Elixir about the certification, he left the Fengyun Inn directly. As for Xi Xiaoyun's initial recovery from a serious illness, she also visited and rested alone.

However, this Xi Ziyu didn't know what the purpose was, and actually came to Lin Yuan's room with two pots of good wine to drink.

"Brother Lin, it seems that I am nosy about your assassination tonight. ”

When the wine was drunk, Xi Ziyu suddenly smiled and said, "Come to think of it, how can a genius elixir master like you be so good, how can the venerable master not send someone to protect your safety?"

"Brother Xi, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Cheng said with some puzzlement: "I'm used to being alone, how can I be followed by someone?"

"Oh?"

As soon as these words came out, Xi Ziyu's expression suddenly turned cold, and said, "It seems that I misunderstood......

Rumble!

The next moment, a terrifying fluctuation invisible to the naked eye suddenly erupted from Xi Ziyu's body, and the power of this fluctuation radiated outward, immediately enveloping the entire Fengyun Inn, and immediately locked on someone who had been hiding in the shadows!

"Your Excellency is secretly following Brother Lin, what is your purpose?"

Xi Ziyu said lightly.

Shout.

Immediately afterwards, a ghostly figure actually revealed his figure under this terrifying power, only to see that his face was slightly pale, and Xi Ziyu's blow just now almost injured him!

It was the shadow that was sent by Qin Yutong to protect Lin Yuan!

He looked horrified, staring incredulously at Xi Ziyu, who hadn't even moved half a minute. Xi Valve's genius disciple really lived up to his reputation, and he could force him, a Lingtai Realm powerhouse, out without even moving his fingers twice.

If he really fights, he has no confidence that he will be able to survive the opponent's three moves!

"Who are you?"

Seeing the appearance of the shadow, Lin Cheng was slightly shocked and shouted in a low voice.

Could it be that since he left the Xuanyue Sect, this old man has been secretly following him? Doesn't that mean that if the other party wants to kill him, he can solve his life at any time?

As soon as he thought of this, some cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his back, is this the sorrow of having no strength? He didn't even know when his life and death fell under the control of others?

"Uncle, in fact, I was sent by the young lady to protect you. ”

Shadow explained with a wry smile.

Now, if he doesn't explain the misunderstanding clearly, this Xi Ziyu is afraid that he will really kill him for Lin Yuan.

"Miss, you mean Qin Yutong?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Cheng couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Qin Yutong would actually send someone to protect him?

This simply subverted the impression of Qin Yutong in his heart, in his memory, Qin Yutong has always been cold and indifferent to "Lin Cheng", and it can even be said that he is indifferent.

Even in Lin Yuan's opinion, if it weren't for Qin Yutong's inaction, the original "Lin Yuan" would not have ended up being poisoned. Because of this, Lin Cheng actually didn't have a good impression of his titular wife.

"Uncle, you misunderstood, Miss has actually been secretly protecting your safety all along. ”

As if he saw what Lin Cheng was thinking, the shadow sighed lightly and shook his head: "If there is no young lady, how can my uncle spend such a long time in the Xuanyue Sect safely?"

"I know what my uncle is thinking, you must think I'm lying. In fact, since you entered the Xuanyue Sect, I have been protecting you on the orders of the young lady. Of course...... The matter of the bone-eating grass is indeed my negligence, and in my heart, I may not want you to pass away, so that the young lady can be more relaxed. ”

The shadow spoke in his heart, from his point of view, Lin Yan's existence was really dispensable, at best, it was just an excuse to prevaricate those old guys in the sect.

Not only that, but it was precisely because Lin Cheng came to Xuanyue Sect that the shadow had to distract most of his energy to protect the former. Originally, he could do more things for Qin Yutong and protect Qin Yutong's safety.

Therefore, the shadow will not care about Lin Cheng's life or death, the right is that this weak scholar is weak and can't withstand the wind and cold, and he will die of illness......

However, Qin Yutong himself wanted to protect Lin Cheng's safety from beginning to end.

"I see......"

After listening to the shadow's narration, Lin Cheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he finally understood the truth of all this.

It turned out that it was not that Qin Yutong was indifferent to him, but that the shadow deliberately connived at Ding Xu and others to poison him in the process of protecting him, which is why the original host, "Lin Cheng", died so miserably on the hospital bed.

As soon as he thought of this, his mood was much happier.

At least he knew that his titular wife, Qin Yutong, was not as ruthless as he originally imagined. On the contrary, this is likely to be a kind woman with a cold face and a warm heart.

"Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to be the husband of the Xuanyue Sect Master!"

Xi Ziyu looked at Lin Cheng with some amazement, and said, "I heard that the new sect master of the Xuanyue Sect, Qin Yutong, is not only like a heavenly immortal, but also extremely talented, although he is from a third-rate sect, he has a strength that is not inferior to those geniuses of the big sects, Brother Lin is really a blessing!"

"Yanfu or something...... Inexistent. ”

Lin Cheng smiled bitterly and drank a glass of wine.

The liquor went into his throat and burned his abdomen like a fire.

How could Xi Ziyu know that he, the husband of the sect master of the Xuanyue Sect, was enjoying some glamorous blessings, and after being married for more than half a year, he hadn't even touched Qin Yutong's little hand once.
