“Boom!”
Shen Xingcong suddenly pulled out his hand and incidentally pushed Xiao Lin away with a palm.
This move was too sudden, and he didn’t react for a while. When he snapped out of it, he only felt unreasonable.
“What are you doing!”
Xiao Lin’s expression remained the same, wiping away the blood from the corners of his mouth: “I said, just have a try.”
Shen Xingcong was furious: “You can hurt people as you please to have a try?”
Xiao Lin was surprised: “Senior brother is already in the Unification stage. How can he still care about this minor injury?”
“Minor injury? You look at this blood—!”
Shen Xingcong handed out his wrist to complain but saw the wound that had just been cut out had healed quickly. There wasn’t even a gash to be seen at the moment, only some blood stains on the side.
He was embarrassed for a while and retracted his hand: “No matter how, you should tell me in advance.”
Although Xiao Lin didn’t understand this point, he didn’t argue and only said: “I will next time.”
There’s a next time?
Shen Xingcong felt bad and asked: “Have you tried what you want to try?”
“Not bad.” Xiao Lin said, “Since senior brother ate that demon flower, the blood now will help me restore my spiritual roots.”
It was this standard method as expected.
Shen Xingcong’s mood sank.
Thinking about it, he was able to escape from death. Is it possible that the “Way of Heaven” wanted him to become Xiao Lin’s “medicine equipment”?
“From now on, I will help senior brother hide the magic patterns, and senior brother will help me restore the spiritual roots.” Xiao Lin smiled and said, “Each takes what he needs. How about it?”
Shen Xingcong didn’t reply.
Xiao Lin: “Senior brother?”
Shen Xingcong lowered his head and looked at the condensed blood beads on the ground. After a while, he said: “I can’t help you.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Xiao Lin: “…”
Wljb Olc: “Qts.”
“Qtja P rjlv ab Tbe Efc yfobgf kjr cba j ojirftbbv.” Vtfc Wlcumbcu ogbkcfv, “Ktf vfrmfca bo atf vfwbc rffv klii ifjv ab atf vfragemalbc bo jii ilnlcu yflcur, jcv cb bcf mjc rabq la. Ciatbeut P vbc’a xcbk ktb gelcfv sbeg rqlglaeji gbbar, yea lo P mjc jnblv remt j oeaegf. P atlcx…”
He frowned tighter, “This is a good thing.”
The cold wind brushed over, blowing the windows creaking. The outer sect was noisy, but only this place was so quiet that even pin drop could be heard as if it was a world apart.
Shen Xingcong didn’t hear a response for a long time, so long that he thought Xiao Lin had already left. But this was just a misconception. He could still hear the regular breathing sound.
Raising his eyes, he happened to face those pair of ink-colored pupils.
Shen Xingcong suddenly felt a little guilty and wondered if he had been too straightforward just now: “Uh, I mean…”
“I don’t understand.” There was no emotion in Xiao Lin’s tone, “I obviously haven’t done those things. Why should you be so conclusive?”
Shen Xingcong: “Because of the prophecy…”
Xiao Lin: “Is the prophecy necessarily true.”
Shen Xingcong was speechless.
If he didn’t know the plot and just thought he had traveled to a different world, he would definitely not believe that so-called prophecy.
After all, judging from this period of time together, although Xiao Lin didn’t understand human feelings, he had indeed done nothing wrong. It would be better to say that from this point of view of being bullied and enduring it alone, he was more like a soft person who never tries to offend anybody.
But for this reason, it was even more terrifying.
Even though he already knew all the plot, he was still occasionally soft-hearted when faced with Xiao Lin. Not to mention the other people.
If he didn’t intervene and let the plot develop. By the time when no one could stop Xiao Lin, it would be too late.
But according to this person’s nature, he might not feel he has done something wrong. After all, all words and deeds were only for the purpose of achieving his goal.
Even if he killed unrelated people or even his Dao companion and close relatives.
Shen Xingcong couldn’t explain it too clearly, so he could only repeat his plea again: “In short, I can’t help you.”
Xiao Lin: “Senior brother has clearly promised me before.”
Shen Xingcong hung his head and lowered his volume: “…I told you that I was lying to you.”
“…”
“So,” After a while, he heard Xiao Lin ask, “Senior brother’s previous purpose was just to make use of me to gain power?”
Shen Xingcong shook his head and lowered his volume even more: “That was an accident.”
If he could, he also wanted to be an ordinary person. Cultivate in an ordinary way and live out his life in an ordinary way.
He didn’t want to be a demon cultivator that everyone beat and killed, and hid all day long.
“Is this, is this good?”
As if to make up for it, he rushed to say to Xiao Lin.
“After this, if you have anything you want to do or something you want, just tell senior brother, and senior brother will help you do it. Although your cultivation base cannot advance for the time being, I promise you that no one will dare to bully you from now on. Is it good?”
Xiao Lin looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said: “Not good.”
Shen Xingcong: “Xiao Lin…”
“Since senior brother promised me, he should fulfill it.” Xiao Lin interrupted, “Otherwise, if the prophecy comes true.”
He smiled even more widely: “The first person I kill will be senior brother.”
Shen Xingcong paused.
Seeing that he didn’t speak, Xiao Lin added: “Senior brother, it’s better to change clothes first. It’s not good to catch a cold.”
At this time, Shen Xingcong was still wearing only a layer of rag, and he couldn’t block the wind at all.
He stood up wordlessly and went to pick up clean clothes from the bamboo basket. As soon as he changed it, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
“The two fellow apprentices, how are you doing? Teacher Lan Jin called the two of you to the outer hall and said that he had something to ask.”
.
What Lan Jin wanted to ask should be what happened after they left with You Ren.
Shen Xingcong had already thought of good excuses in advance and wasn’t in a hurry. It’s only that when he thought about Xiao Lin’s words just now, he felt anxious.
These said words by the first stage of Qi training towards a Unification stage were like an ant saying that it would knock down an elephant, and in the eyes of others, they probably only felt it was ridiculous. But Shen Xingcong couldn’t laugh.
Because he knew that this wasn’t a lie, let alone a scare.
Xiao Lin wouldn’t kill people because of “anger”. He would only clear the “pebbles” that get in the way. And what he was doing now, in Xiao Lin’s view, was undoubtedly an “obstruction”.
Way of Heaven.
Shen Xingcong remembered this word once again.
So far, everything hasn’t gone well along the way. Perhaps even without him, “Way of Heaven” would have other ways for Xiao Lin to restore his spiritual roots.
“…”
But even so, even if it did come to the same ending, he didn’t want to be the one who made it happen.
This would make him feel that everything he has done so far was a joke. The mantis was trying to stop a chariot and overestimate his capabilities.
When Shen Xingcong was about to remove the silent barrier, he heard Xiao Lin ask: “Senior brother, are you going?”
Shen Xingcong paused and turned his head.
“I don’t know how long it will be delayed.” Xiao Lin asked, “Senior brother, are you not afraid of revealing your identity?”
Shen Xingcong was silent for a moment: “I will leave when this matter is clarified.”
Now that Lan Jin was looking for him, he was afraid that leaving at this time would arouse vigilance, so it wasn’t the right time yet. When the conversation was over, he could slip away without anyone noticing while everyone’s attention was elsewhere.
“Just in case I will take you with me.” Shen Xingcong said, “But I won’t agree to a deal with you.”
Hearing this, Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes.
Shen Xingcong: “Like you just said. If it really comes to that day, you want to kill me…”
He looked straight ahead, and his eyes reflected the good-looking youth.
“You can come and give it a try, I will never run away.”
What a mess ><
