Chapter 114: Lin Xiao's departure
Chapter 17: Lin Xiao's Departure (Asking for Flowers)
At this time, the catastrophe of the Xiao family almost had little to do with Xue Lin, Xiao Yu also sent someone to escort him out of the Xiao family, and the children of the Xiao family took them out of the inner city and returned directly to their houses.
Recalling the scene when Bai Yueli's life hung by a thread, Xue Lin exhaled a long breath of turbidity. Before this, Xue Lin had never thought that death would be so close to him. Now that he has saved the day, Xue Lin still can't calm down in his heart for a long time. However, this made Xue Lin full of admiration and yearning for the Yuanzun powerhouse, the kind of power that destroys the world and who competes with each other is definitely a fatal temptation for every Yuanli master.
"Knock knock", with a quick knock on the door, Xue Lin slowly came back to his senses, got up and opened the door, only to see Niu Lao standing outside the house with an anxious face, and his old wrinkled face lost the gentle smile in his ordinary words at the moment.
Xue Lin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly welcomed Niu Lao into the house, and asked cautiously, "Niu Lao, what's wrong! Seeing that your face is anxious, isn't there something wrong at home?"
Niu Lao smiled bitterly and said slowly, "Isn't there an accident at home? But it's not our small family, it's our own family!"
Xue Lin was stunned for a moment, and then realized the meaning of the family mentioned by Niu Lao, and then his expression was slightly relaxed, and he comforted, "Niu Lao, don't worry, the Xiao family is fine." With Yuanzun coming forward, he can naturally protect the Xiao family. ”
Niu Lao was stunned and asked in disbelief, "You mean, the Yuan Zun of the Xiao family has appeared?"
Xue Lin looked at Niu Lao's more worried look, nodded, and said a little uncertainly, "What's wrong?
Niu Lao was stunned for a moment, his face changed, and he realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly changed his mouth and said, "Since the Xiao family is fine, then I am also relieved." As he spoke, Niu Lao stood up, a rare smile appeared on his old face, and said, "Hey, we are from the Xiao family after all, and the Xiao family has such a big incident today, and I am also in a hurry, so I specially ran over to ask." ”
Xue Lin smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, Elder Niu, the Xiao family is fine." ”
Sent out of the house by Xue Lin, there was still a trace of anxiety on Niu Lao's face, and he hesitated for a long time before adding, "Xue Lin, what happened in the Xiao family today is probably spread throughout Huoxiao City, but as for the specific situation, not many people know about it. I don't know how you learned the news of Yuanzun's appearance, but I must remind you that the Xiao family's appearance of Yuanzun, you had better rot in your stomach and don't tell anyone, this is not only for your good, but also for the good of the Xiao family. ”
After Niu Lao finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xue Lin to ask, and walked towards the night in a hurry.
Xue Lin recalled Niu Lao's solemn warning, and felt inexplicable in his heart, for this old man who was also abandoned by the Xiao family as himself, Xue Lin was used to the abnormal trust of his surname, since Niu Lao made such a serious explanation, Xue Lin also recorded Niu Lao's entrustment in his heart.
Huoxiao City passed through Ouyang Ke's trouble, and it stopped for a few days. The bustling outer city in the past is also much colder, and the streets and alleys have the Xiao family's Yuan Li division patrolling the city from time to time, which also makes the people of the entire Huo Xiao City panic.
For the first time in decades, there was such a tense situation in Huoxiao City. Although Xue Lin didn't know the purpose of these family Yuan Li Divisions patrolling the city, he also guessed that it was inseparable from Ouyang Ke's trouble. With such a tense situation, Xue Lin's idea of leaving had to be blocked again.
For half a month, Xue Lin stayed in his own residence, and in addition to cultivating Yuan Li, he devoted himself to studying the Tianmu Exercises in his hands.
The next morning, when Xue Lin just woke up from the retreat, a beautiful shadow came into Xue Lin's eyes, bright eyes, snow-white skin, and long hair like splashing ink, who is it not Lin Xiao?
Looking at Lin Xiao who suddenly appeared, Xue Lin was a little surprised, but more than that, he was happy. After saying goodbye, Xue Lin was kicked out of Xiao's house, and he didn't have time to ask about Lin Xiao's situation after that. At this time, looking at Lin Xiao's cold face, Xue Lin finally calmed down a little. Lin Xiao was able to do the same as always, which showed that Murong Feng was no longer in trouble.
The two sat opposite each other, and after a long time, Xue Lin was the first to break the silence and asked, "Miss Lin, why are you here?" Is your grandfather okay?"
Lin Xiao nodded, there was no sadness or joy on his face, and he said slowly, "Grandpa is fine, it's just that the Yuan Force in his body is too depleted, and he won't be able to recover for a while." As he spoke, Lin Xiao continued to be silent, and his moving eyes always stayed on Xue Lin's body.
Xue Lin also felt that the atmosphere between the two was wrong, but as for why, he couldn't say why, so he could only deal with it, "Oh, that's good." ”
"Xue Lin, thank you for sacrificing your life to save me that day, and now we have become friends, you can call me Lin Xiao directly. Lin Xiao said unexpectedly, with a softer tone in his tone, which had never happened before.
And this change suddenly made Xue Lin at a loss, and said casually, "Lin Xiao, let's go out for a walk......!"
In an alley in the slum area, several figures were gathering together, and only one of them whispered, "Miss Lin did go out with Xue Lin, Brother Yu, what should we do?"
Xiao Yu stood in place with a black line on his face, looking at the two figures in the distance with hatred in his eyes, and only after a long time did he grit his teeth and said, "How can this evil seed be able to attract Lin Xiao, this matter must not be stopped!"
"What does the big brother mean, let's go and teach that Xue Lin a good lesson?"
Xiao Yu glanced at the young man who was speaking with sharp eyes, and said angrily, "Hmph, now is not the time, when that evil seed comes back, we will teach him a good lesson." As he spoke, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth......
When night fell, Xue Lin and Lin Xiao unconsciously walked outside the inner city again, looking at Xue Lin, who was still a little embarrassed, Lin Xiao coughed lightly and said, "Xue Lin, don't send it." ”
Xue Lin was a little inexplicable, but he still said cautiously, "Lin Xiao, you have been reluctant to give up today, are you okay?"
Lin Xiao knew that he was out of shape, so he quickly coughed lightly, shook his head, his face returned to coldness, and he thought for a long time before he whispered, "Xue Lin, I came today, in fact, I have something to tell you." ”
Xue Lin was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "What's the matter, you can say it." ”
Lin Xiao quietly glanced at Xue Lin, turned his head to look at the end of the tall city wall, and said, "Xue Lin, I'm leaving." I've been really happy with you for a few days, I've never been happy, there is no family bondage, no deceitful struggle, and no group of flattering villains around me. But you know, I have my own responsibilities, I have my own family. I'm here to say goodbye to you. Tomorrow morning, I will return to the family with my grandfather. ”
Although Lin Xiao's departure was unexpected, Xue Lin didn't feel too much surprise. The Xiao family is now in an eventful season, and Murong Feng is embarrassed to continue to stay in the Xiao family. As for the purpose of the visit, Murong Feng is afraid that with the help of Ouyang Ke's trouble, it has also been achieved, so it is best to leave at this time.
Looking at Xue Lin, who was deep in thought, Lin Xiao thought that Xue Lin was reluctant in his heart, and comforted him, "Xue Lin, although you are over fourteen years old, even if you continue to cultivate Yuan Li, you will not make a difference, but as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to break into another career." I'm sure we'll be friends then, aren't we?"
Xue Lin was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and felt a pain in his heart. Knowing the gap between the poor and the Yuanlishi, no Yuanlishi family will treat a poor person as a friend of the family or allow the children of the family to make friends with the poor, because it is meaningless to say it, and it will become a laughing stock for everyone. Now that he is an authentic "poor man", what capital can he have to climb the dragon and the phoenix?
Thinking of this, Xue Lin felt bitter in his heart, knowing that Lin Xiao did not mean to humiliate himself, but after thinking for a long time, he found that he was speechless, so he could only smile helplessly.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Lin Xiao looked at Xue Lin, who was speechless, and said slowly, "Xue Lin, you have to come on, we will meet again in the future!" After speaking, Lin Xiao turned around and left, and disappeared at the end of the street after a while.
From the time Lin Xiao turned around and left to the time he disappeared, Xue Lin didn't speak, just quietly watched Lin Xiao's back. If one day he becomes a powerful Yuan Li Master, will Lin Xiao still regard him as a friend?
Xue Lin didn't know the answer, and he didn't want to know, but the relationship between the two would never be as close as it is today. After all, Lin Xiao only regarded himself as a person who had been abandoned by the Yuanli World, a person who would never have an impact on him and his family.
