Lin Xuanqing's mind was racing, one thought after another came to mind, and he soon made a decision.

He hid himself more tightly, not revealing a trace of aura fluctuations. Although this Zhang clan was just an ordinary person, there was a lot of powerful aura around the entire Fang family, faintly surrounding this forest. If he showed up at this moment, he would definitely be besieged.

So, he decided to wait patiently.

"Girl Lin, my aunt wants to ask you something, you have to answer honestly. Zhang's voice came faintly again.

Lin Xuanqing's heart moved, and he immediately put aside the thoughts in his mind and listened carefully.

I only heard that Lin Shurong said in a respectful tone: "Auntie, just ask." Shurong would never dare to hide anything. ”

"That's good. Zhang seemed to be relieved, and then asked seriously, "What do you think, how does our family treat you?"

"How could my aunt ask such a question?" Lin Shurong said in surprise, "Shurong grew up in the Fang family since she was a child, and she was deeply favored by the Fang family, and she has long regarded the Fang family as Shurong's own home from the bottom of her heart. Not only did my aunt and uncle treat me like their own daughters, but even those brothers never had any trouble with me. It's a pity that Shurong is a weak woman, and Wen can't gain fame and bring glory to the Fang family; In Shurong's life, she owes too much to the Fang family, and she is afraid that she will not be able to repay it even if she is poor all her life. ”

These words were said extremely sincerely, and even Lin Xuanqing couldn't help but be moved when he heard it.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be able to repay your kindness at such a young age, and this is not in vain for our family's hard work. We won't force you to do that, when you want to talk about it, you can tell your aunt. If there is really nothing to say, then it is nothing, as long as you are in the Fang family for a day, our family will never let you be wronged. Zhang sighed leisurely, stroked Lin Shurong's back as if to comfort her for something, whispered softly for a while, and then her words came, "Okay, the night is as cold as water, you should also go back to the house, beware of the wind and cold." ”

Zhang is like a kind elder, full of understanding and tolerance for Lin Shurong. If it weren't for hearing the conversation between her and Fang Hengshan with his own ears, I'm afraid that even Lin Xuanqing would have been moved by her thoughtful words.

"Thank you, Auntie, Auntie go slowly. ”

Lin Shurong watched Zhang leave, but his body was still sitting in front of the piano and did not move.

She gently stroked the strings, as if she was in silent communication with a close friend who shared hardships and lived and died.

Her language, her mind, only this guqin can understand!

Lin Xuanqing flicked the leaves on his body, walked out calmly, and walked towards Lin Shurong step by step. He walked very lightly, even if he stepped on the fallen leaves all over the ground, he only made an extremely slight sound, so that he was not noticed by her until he was close to Lin Shurong's five zhang distance.

Lin Shurong suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Xuanqing, but after a moment of panic, she regained her composure.

"Who are you?" asked Lin Shurong.

"Ancient Sword Gate, Lin Xuanqing. Lin Xuanqing replied without thinking.

"You're Lin Xuanqing? Under Lin Shurong's calm veil, her breathing suddenly increased, like a person about to drown, grasping the last straw and seeing the hope of life.

"Are you waiting for me?" Lin Xuanqing was stunned.

"Yes, I've been waiting for you, I've been waiting for you for ten whole years. Lin Shurong's tone was erratic, but very firm.

She has gone from a six-year-old girl to a sixteen-year-old girl, and she has missed countless childhood funs, and she has missed the years.

"You know I'm going to come looking for you?" Lin Xuanqing was confused.

"I don't know. Unexpectedly, Lin Shurong shook her head and sighed lightly, "But I know that apart from you, no one can help me leave the Fang family, and no one is worthy of that old man's trust anymore." So I can only wait, wait for your arrival......"

"What if I don't come?" Lin Xuanqing's eyes narrowed.

"I will still wait until I die in this forest and never see the light of day. The outside world was too dangerous for even the old man to handle, let alone me, a weak woman. Lin Shurong's tone was pathetic, the last bit of insistence of a helpless and desperate person.

If she didn't even have this insistence, she was afraid that she would also fall.

What kind of burden does she have on her weak shoulders?

"I see. Lin Xuanqing suddenly figured out something, walked up to Lin Shurong, gently grabbed her hand, patted the back of her hand, and comforted, "Thank you for your hard work." I, Lin Xuanqing, swear that from now on, no one will be able to threaten you, unless they step on my corpse. ”

"Thank you," Lin Shurong let her slender hand be held by Lin Xuanqing, without meaning to pull it out, "Your hand is warm and full of strength, you are indeed a person worthy of trust." No wonder that old man entrusts all his hopes to you. ”

Lin Xuanqing suddenly felt a little ashamed. There was a time when he was not a trustworthy person, and self-abandonment and self-depravity became synonymous with him. He didn't know that hundreds of miles away, there was such a person, who always believed in him.

He had betrayed her trust, but not anymore.

"Master, is he okay, old man?" Lin Xuanqing sniffled, his eyes moistened a little.

"He's bad. Lin Shurong replied.

"Yes, if he is still as powerful as before, he doesn't have to hide for ten years, who can threaten him?" Lin Xuanqing sighed with emotion, and then said, "I think, you must know where he is hiding now, don't you?"

"I know," Lin Shurong nodded heavily, "this is the secret I have kept for ten years." ”

"You didn't tell the Fang family?" Although Lin Xuanqing guessed the answer to this sentence, he couldn't help but ask.

"The Fang family wants to know, but I can't say. Because I promised that old man, unless a person named Lin Xuanqing came to me, I couldn't say anything. Lin Shurong replied.

"The Fang family didn't embarrass you?" Lin Xuanqing continued to ask.

"They tortured sixteen of my people to death, and each of them endured no less than twenty of the most cruel tortures in the world. But they all brought the secret into the coffin, and did not reveal a word until they died. The Fang family was afraid, afraid that if they tortured me to death again, no one would know the news of that old man. And as long as the old man is alive, they will not be able to eat, they will not sleep at night, and they will live in an atmosphere of fear all day long. Lin Shurong laughed miserably and shed two lines of tears.

After calming down her emotions, Lin Shurong continued: "So, they decided to use a different method and started to treat me well. They will find ways to satisfy what I want, and they will punish what I dislike, even if it is their closest flesh and blood, until I am satisfied. They told me that they were my aunt and uncle, my only relatives in this world, and that no one could bully me as long as they were there. But I knew they weren't, and even though I was just a six-year-old kid at the time, I already knew they weren't. ”

"I saw through their hypocrisy and goodness, and I saw through their pretentiousness and the darkness and viciousness in their hearts. Every time they shush me, I feel like throwing up, something you'll never experience. But I knew I couldn't vomit, I couldn't even show the slightest displeasure, I had to try to squeeze out a smile, a fake smile, just like their hypocrisy, only then would they lose their guard and let me live. ”

"Fortunately, you're here, just in time, and if you don't come, I don't know how long I'll last. You know how torturous it is to keep a secret and keep it a secret from everyone around you, no one is worthy of your trust, and listen to the bitterness in your heart. ”

Lin Shurong said so many words in one breath until her mouth was dry, and she didn't stop.

Lin Xuanqing listened carefully like this, without interjecting a word, and without showing any impatience. He knew that she had been holding back for too long, and that if she didn't say these words, she might be suffocated.

"You don't think I'm chattering, right?" Lin Shurong smiled apologetically.

"No, it won't. Lin Xuanqing firmly denied it, and said in a gentle tone, "Your voice is as good as your piano sound, and people never get tired of listening to it." I think even the most impatient man in the world will patiently listen to your words and be moved. ”

"The way you praise people is very special," Lin Shurong's face hidden under the veil seemed to be smiling, "I think you must have captured the hearts of many girls with these words." ”

Lin Xuanqing touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I'm a person who is clumsy in words. ”

Lin Shurong's eyes were full of smiles, and it seemed that it was a very happy thing to see Lin Xuanqing deflated.

"Okay, let's leave the Fang family first. Lin Xuanqing knew that this was by no means a place to stay for a long time. Although until now, because of Lin Shurong's remote location, it has not attracted the attention of others, but if he stays for a long time, the people of the Fang family will find out sooner or later.

"Okay, let's leave. Lin Shurong picked up the guqin and resolutely followed behind Lin Xuanqing, not even planning to pack anything.

For her, except for this guqin, everything belongs to the Fang family. She didn't want to be involved with the Fang family anymore.

"You're not going anywhere. An unusually abrupt voice suddenly sounded in a bush. Immediately afterwards, two young men came out of the bushes.

The two men looked almost identical, with only slight differences in the bridge of their noses, one with a collapsed nose and nostrils facing the sky, and the other with a hooked nose.

Their faces were pale, and their eyes when they looked at Lin Xuanqing were full of jealousy, eager to break him into pieces immediately.

"Fang Nianhu, Fang Nianwei, it's actually their ......" Lin Shurong was taken aback, this Fang brother is a fellow mother, and he has always admired Lin Shurong. She never imagined that she would meet these two people at this critical juncture, and her heart suddenly sank.

Lin Xuanqing's heart also jumped, he was so immersed in the surprise news that his master was still alive just now, and he forgot to sense the surroundings, otherwise how could he be approached by these two fifth-level cultivators of the Spiritual Qi Technique?
