C30 Scum and Dirty Hooligans
When Lin Xiao woke up again, he found himself back in the bamboo house, lying on the bamboo mat.
He wasn't injured this time, so he was able to move freely very quickly. When he walked out of the bamboo house, he found Ji Baihua sitting on the steps at the door, staring blankly at the setting sun in the distance.
Counting the time, he didn't lose consciousness for long. Lin Xiao walked over and sat down next to Ji Baihua, asking: "How did we get back?"
After all, the old woman's terrifying strength was something Lin Xiao believed that if she wanted to kill him, he wouldn't even need to do anything. With just a wave of pressure, he would be turned into ashes.
Unexpectedly, Ji Baihua didn't seem to understand what he meant. He directly replied: "We walked back just like that, how did we get back?"
Lin Xiao was speechless, and angrily said, "What I mean is, that old woman was so powerful, and she let us go so easily?"
"She's our Hundred Flowers Palace's senior."
Ji Baihua emphasized for a moment, then asked back, "No matter what, she can be considered my saviour, and also the saviour of the Hundred Flowers Palace. Our Hundred Flowers Palace will never repay kindness with ingratitude, it's just that simple."
"Alright then."
Ji Baihua obviously didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, and Lin Xiao didn't want to delve deeper into it. Instead, he asked another question in his heart: "By the way, what did you bring me to the ruins of your Hundred Flowers Palace for?"
"I went there to ask for help. As for you, I only brought you along with me." Ji Baihua said indifferently again, but his eyes were staring straight at the setting sun. Obviously, he didn't have the desire to chat with Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao frowned, his intuition told him that things were not as simple as Ji Baihua thought.
First of all, he clearly felt the determination to kill from the old woman's pressure, if it was really as Ji Baihua said, everything would be fine once he explained it clearly. Then isn't that old woman too easy to talk to? And the truth was, from the fact that she had to kill people the moment she saw them, that old woman is not so easy to talk to.
Besides, if Ji Baihua really went to ask for help, then why did he bring me along? Even if he didn't know that the Hundred Flowers Palace prohibited men from entering, as the Hundred Flowers Palace Palace Master, she... Don't tell me she didn't know either? Why did she bring him to let that old woman discover him, and then get him involved in such a completely unnecessary trouble?
The last thing that Lin Xiao cared about the most was... And that was when he woke up, Ji Baihua didn't even look at him straight in the eye... Even if he didn't want to pay attention to him before, it was different now... Lin Xiao felt that Ji Baihua was trying to hide from him... Or rather, she was trying her best to keep a distance between the two of them.
But no matter how many questions he had in his heart, Ji Baihua's current attitude... Since he wasn't willing to answer her, Lin Xiao couldn't be bothered to ask. He sat with her in front of the door and looked at the red sun that was about to fall into the valley. Then he realized that he really didn't have the feeling of a poet. Not only that, he couldn't see the beautiful scenery. Instead, he felt that it was a bit boring, so he directly went into the house and laid down.
Not long later, Lin Yutong's cheerful voice came from outside. "We are back. Sister Bai Hua, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing. You guys went out to inquire about the news. Did you get anything?"
Lin Xiao's ears perked up in the room. No matter what, the most important thing at the moment was to kill Yan Lie as soon as possible. After getting rid of this worry, the great world was still waiting for him to explore.
He heard Du Fei's voice. "That Yan Lie is indeed a vicious, insidious and cunning person. He said that Sister Bai Hua was a female devil who killed without blinking her eyes. In one breath, he killed the three elders of the Ghost Shadow Sect. He even forced his soul out of his body and placed himself in the position of the victim. And now, Yan Lie had said to the outside world that the entire Hundred Flowers Palace family had been wiped out. Because after Sister Bai Hua killed their elder, she refused to give them an explanation, and even started a fight. The five elders of the Ghost Shadow Sect and Sect Leader had only barely managed to tie with Sister Bai Hua by working together. But at this moment, Sister Bai Hua suddenly ordered the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace to attack them with all their strength. That was why they had no choice but to destroy the Hundred Flowers Palace. As for the disciples that were captured by them, they declared that all of them were resting in the Ghost Shadow Sect. However, they had also announced that if Elder Sister Bai Hua didn't come to the Ghost Shadow Sect within seven days, she would give them an explanation. Under such circumstances, they could only kill ten disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace every day."
Du Fei's description was a little messy, and it could be said that it was completely random. However, Lin Xiao had roughly heard what she said in the room. It basically meant that Yan Lie, that shameless guy, had not only wiped out the entire Hundred Flowers Palace family, but also the entire sect. He had also captured the remaining disciples as hostages, and requested Ji Baihua to turn himself in. Otherwise, he would have killed all the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
"Damn, this is too shameless! I'll slaughter my way into the Ghost Shadow Sect tomorrow and kill that shameless Yan Lie!" Lin Xiao angrily walked out of the room.
In fact, Lin Xiao had always thought that he was not a kind man. He had heard too much about the injustice in the world. He had basically become numb to it.
However, when such a thing happened in front of him, he found that he still couldn't ignore it.
No matter how insidious and cunning Yan Lie was, it had nothing to do with him. However, when he distorted the truth, he actually used so many innocent lives as bargaining chips and played with them casually. This made him very uncomfortable.
Indeed, in the world of cultivation, the strong prey on the weak. Strength was the most basic law. However, Lin Xiao wasn't a pure cultivator after all. He hadn't grown up in this world. Many concepts were still influenced by the laws of the previous world.
Life was extremely precious to him. Now, someone was disrespecting his life, causing him to be filled with righteous indignation.
Since he was unhappy, he had to fight for justice and act without hesitation. This was the principle that Lin Xiao had been following all this time.
It was just that he didn't have this ability in the past, so he turned a blind eye to many things. However, it was different now. As a cultivator, following his heart was also a type of cultivation that cultivators needed.
However, he didn't know that in fact, people who grew up in this world were already accustomed to this kind of thing.
Du Fei and Lin Yutong looked at him with a strange gaze. Ji Baihua also glanced at him lightly and said, "Those are all disciples of my Hundred Flowers Palace. Why are you so excited?"
Lin Xiao was stunned. He sized up Ji Baihua from head to toe, wanting to see how cold-blooded this person was to be able to remain so calm when his sect's disciples were kidnapped and their lives were in danger.
After looking for a long time, he realized that he was unable to see through this woman in front of him. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Don't you feel angry?"
Ji Baihua said lightly, "I'm very angry."
Even when she said this, her tone was still calm and indifferent, not a trace of emotion could be seen in her eyes.
Lin Xiao sneered: "I can't tell."
"Do you have to show it when you are angry?" Ji Baihua looked at him with disdain: "Right now, I hate Yan Lie so much that I want to drink his blood and eat his flesh. But hot blood can't turn into true qi, with my current strength... Dealing with one Yan Lie is already difficult, not to mention that he has several elders and tens of millions of Ghost Shadow Sects disciples. If I want to take revenge by myself... It's not something that can be done with words."
"Isn't there still me?" Lin Xiao retorted.
"Me too." Du Fei also agreed at this time, understanding the grudges between Ji Baihua and Yan Lie. Whether it was her or Lin Yutong, they were both furious about the Night Ghost Luo Sheng's actions, and had even less favorable impression of Yan Lie.
Lin Yutong also said, "Yes, and us."
Ji Baihua's gaze swept across the three of them, then he used an extremely disdainful kiss and said, "Although I am touched by your feelings, but for people like you, you can only go to your deaths."
For some reason, her words today were exceptionally sharp, and each sentence hurt people.
Du Fei and Lin Yutong's hot blood was instantly doused, and they lowered their heads listlessly.
It was very obvious that although they had said it casually earlier, once they talked about their own strength, although they were very proud of having such achievements at their age in the past, Ji Baihua did not seem to be much older than them. He was already at the mid Nascent Soul stage, and even Lin Xiao was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Now that he had advanced to the Golden Core stage, his two Foundation Establishment were useless here.
Lin Xiao gave Ji Baihua a meaningful look. Just as he was about to say something, the latter had already turned around and entered the room. After a long time, he said, "You've been tired for the whole day. You should rest early."
This sentence, could be considered an apology for the rude behavior from before?
Only Lin Xiao and the two girls looked at each other in dismay.
In the end, very quickly, Du Fei and Lin Yutong looked at Lin Xiao with disdain and hatred again, making Lin Xiao feel annoyed.
He was about to turn around and enter the house. He was too lazy to provoke the two of them when Du Fei stopped him, "Scum, I have something to tell you."
"Yes, you dirty hooligan. We have something to tell you." Lin Yutong also said in a very serious tone.
What should come would always come. If he came out to mingle, he would have to pay it back sooner or later.
Lin Xiao knew that the two girls must have verified his identity when they went out today. At this time, they were probably going to settle the score with him. Thinking about it, it was impossible for the two of them to defeat him even if they joined forces. The situation of him being thrown together with an ugly woman after he drugged her wouldn't happen.
Thinking till here, he curled his lips and turned around. He looked at Lin Yutong speechlessly. "I say, Miss Lin, you can say whatever Du Fei says. You are her follower?"
Lin Yutong's tone was stifled and she urgently said, "Who says I am... Who wants to be her follower?"
"Enough, don't think of sowing discord. Regarding this matter with you, the two of us have temporarily formed an alliance." Du Fei's words exposed Lin Xiao's trick. After that, she said with an expressionless face, "Scum, my father has news for you."
"That's right, we have an alliance. My dad also has news for you." Lin Yutong immediately forgot about Lin Xiao's retort just now.
"What is it?"
Lin Xiao did not expect that the two of them actually did not charge forward and shouted to fight and kill, and even took it so seriously. He became suspicious, but his face darkened immediately. He rolled his eyes and said, "Damn, this brother is handsome and has such a good character. When did he become the scum and hooligan you all call scum? Change it over... "
" Hehe, you know your own character best. " Du Fei smiled coldly and casually threw a jade slip to Lin Xiao. " I have asked my father about it. The fact that you are his disciple has been confirmed. Since that's the case, we'll write off all our previous grudges. Since my father has taken a liking to you, I'm sure you won't be completely useless. From now on, I'll follow you seriously to train for a long period of time. To improve myself, but if I find out that you are still a scumbag midway... I will not be polite... Also, there is a message from my father. Since it's encrypted, you don't have to worry about me peeking at you."
After saying that, Du Fei did not even look at Lin Xiao. She walked past him and walked into the house. When she passed by Lin Xiao, she said faintly, "Scum."
Lin Xiao was confused. What was Po Tianhou thinking? Was he not afraid of what he would do to his daughter?
At this time, Lin Yutong also walked over and threw a jade slip to Lin Xiao. She stared at him and imitated Du Fei's look and said, "What I mean is similar to Sister Du Fei's jade slip..."
After a pause, she said softly, "Smelly hooligan."
Then she quickly followed Du Fei's footsteps, making Lin Xiao even more confused. He stood alone in the wind and was in a mess.
