Chapter 13: She's Reasonable
Zhu Yunwen also wanted to help, I discussed with him and asked him to take care of Yang Jun, we can do the physical work, he hesitated slightly, nodded, and didn't insist anymore.
There are eleven corpses on the ground, there are our people, and there are also people who lean towards Han Gao, but in the end, they are all our partners, maybe the relationship is not very deep, but here, we are family, a family from the Ming Dynasty.
At least that's what I thought.
Looking at these faces, which were still fresh not long ago, but now they are 'dead', I have endless anger in my heart, and at the same time, I also have a deep fear, because we are too weak here, and any person who is above the acquired martial artist can destroy us with a flip of his hand.
This sense of powerlessness has stayed with me for a long time and made me walk on thin ice in this world.
About 300 meters from the junction, on the edge of the Lost Forest, we worked for about half an hour to move the robes killed in battle to a large pit dug and prepare for a simple collective burial.
Before filling in the soil, Zhu Yunwen took off a piece of carved dragon jade pendant that he wore with him and put it into the burial pit, and then we filled in the soil, because there were no objects to worship, we could only bow deeply.
Lin Xi'er stood not far away, quietly watching the depths of the jungle, not knowing what she was looking at, until we walked towards her after the memorial service, she turned around and walked towards the exit without saying a word.
Yang Jun was still in a coma, but his breathing had stabilized a lot, I carried him on my back, and several people followed Lin Xi'er to the exit.
After getting out of the stone forest, it is really out of the lost forest, along both sides of the exit, there are a large number of buildings, almost all black tiles and white walls, the style is similar, mainly simple and tall.
People wearing various sect costumes moved back and forth, and many people on the road showed a surprised expression when they saw Lin Xi'er taking us out, but no one came up to ask, and even many people nodded at her to say hello, and she only bowed slightly, looking cold and arrogant.
Along the way, I noticed that Lin Xi'er's status here is not low, and I can't help but wonder what kind of cultivation she is, and what is her status in the Ethereal God Sect? And what is the status of this Ethereal God Sect in this world?
We followed Lin Xi'er into a tall house, and as we entered, I noticed that the exterior wall of the house was carved with exquisite auspicious clouds around the peaks, which matched the patterns on the clothes worn by the Ethereal God Sect, and I thought this should be a sign of their status.
Lin Xi'er took us to a lobby, and through the back door of the lobby was a separate courtyard, with two beautiful maidservants waiting at the door.
When they saw us coming, they bowed and saluted, shouting, "I've seen the eldest lady!" "I know they're rushing to the forest.
There was a pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, Lin Xi'er took the lead in entering, she chose a place to sit down, and said to us, "Feel free to sit." ”
We can only comply, she first glanced at Yang Jun, and said: "This person has a stable breath and a good foundation, and he should wake up soon." ”
I nodded, showing a grateful smile at her, Lin Xi'er turned to look at me, suddenly her eyes were cold, and she asked, "You really don't know the green robe?" ”
At that time, I only felt that Lin Xi'er's voice was like a needle down my ear, instantly piercing my mind, and I immediately felt a trance, and subconsciously replied:
"I ......"
I almost blurted out the words "I know" at the time, but the remnants of my sanity resisted almost as soon as I was in a trance.
I noticed that the two forces in my body, one white and one yellow, instantly rotated wildly, and in a trance, I saw that they seemed to be fused together, and a trace of cyan gas that seemed to be real and illusory was peeled out of it, and it flashed into my mind, and suddenly a feeling full of power and clarity made me instantly get rid of the feeling of being hypnotized.
"I don't know." I replied slowly, and after speaking, I looked at Lin Xi'er with a puzzled expression.
I saw her frown slightly, looked at me fixedly for a while, and suddenly said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I think we misunderstood you, you can make some demands or compensation." ”
Zhu Yunwen and Han Gao who said this looked inexplicable, and they didn't know why.
But I knew that she must have used some kind of method on me, similar to the hypnosis of confusion. As I mentioned earlier, what I'm good at is assassination, and confusing the enemy is also a lesson in my family's peerless school, so I'm sure Lin Xi'er used the means she thought I would tell the truth against me.
After she got a negative answer, she completely believed us, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be a different ending now, thinking of this, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat, and secretly said, "Red face and trouble!" ”
I stood up abruptly and sneered, "Compensation? More than a dozen lives, what to pay? I want Huang Haitao's life, is that okay? ”
The three people around me were shocked, and they couldn't understand why my attitude suddenly changed, lest I offend the beauty in front of me, and the consequences would be very serious, so they kept glancing at me and signaling me to pay attention, almost enough.
Lin Xi'er looked at me in surprise, and was silent for a while, as if she was thinking about something.
I said to myself, "What the hell is your serious expression?" Can you really promise me to kill Huang Haitao? It's impossible, and besides, I'm just trying to raise my bargaining chips, and I don't believe you'll agree. ”
Because I know that this powerful and cold and arrogant beauty in front of me, although she is not fake on the surface, she is a reasonable person, as long as she occupies the moral high ground, she should not say that she will turn her face, so I dared to give it a try.
Sure enough, Lin Xi'er shook his head slowly and said, "Although I am the person in charge of the Ethereal God Sect here, but Huang Haitao is a core disciple of the Third Elder's sect, I have no right to dispose of it, I can give you some more compensation elsewhere, you can mention it, do you want spirit stones, pills, or exercises?" I have here some exercises that I have obtained elsewhere that may be useful to you. ”
"Spirit stones? Pills? Exercises? "I secretly calculated in my heart, although I don't know what the spirit stone is, but I guess it must be related to the aura, the pill doesn't know what to do, it's not easy to decide for the time being, as for the exercises, this is a necessity, we have no foundation here, this is the best time to get it."
Seeing that it worked, everyone seemed to regard me as the 'backbone', no longer interfering in my decision, and waiting for me with a blank face, with an excited face, even Zhu Yunwen was a little excited, and I felt a little strange about this.
I thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, that's the only way to go, what, let's have a little bit of everything, we have low strength, we don't understand a lot, and I'll ask Miss Lin to introduce us to one or two later." ”
Lin Xi'er didn't say anything more, and took out a pink exquisite purse from her sleeve.
The next glance completely dumbfounded us, only to see Lin Xi'er tilt the mouth of the purse the same size as our Ming Dynasty money bag to the stone table, and I didn't see what she did, and a lot of various things appeared in front of us like illusion juggling.
