Brother Lin did not hesitate and immediately knelt down to Xia Chen without saying anything. Dangdang, he kowtowed three times. He did not dare to use his true energy at all. After three times, blood dripped from his forehead.
The servants were stunned and their faces were extremely stiff. They didn't understand why Senior Brother Lin, who was regarded as a god in their hearts, was so angry, and why he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed after meeting Xia Chen.
Although they are stupid, they are not fools after all. After looking at each other, everyone suddenly felt an unpleasant chill in their hearts.
"I didn't ask you to kneel down," Xia Chen said coldly, but he didn't get out of the way either.
When the disciple surnamed Lin heard the tone of his words, he gritted his teeth, endured the excruciating pain, kowtowed three times again, and said loudly: "Senior Brother Xia, I know that no matter how I explain it, it is useless. Please punish me. I only ask for your mercy."
My life"
Although the acquired disciple does not have the power to deal with his fellow disciples, with Xia Chen's status and relationship with the magical monks, even a casual word in the Law Enforcement Hall can make his life worse than death.
"You are quite smart. Knowing that Xia Chen is soft-hearted, you put yourself at a disadvantage first." Chen Lie said calmly. He could naturally see the intentions of this disciple named Lin at a glance.
The disciple surnamed Lin's heart sank. He did not dare to speak, but kowtowed hard again. Blood flowed down his forehead, through his eyes, nose, mouth, and finally dripped down his chin, falling into a line on the ground.
The winding stream, but he didn't dare to move at all
The servants were already dumbfounded and stared blankly, feeling a chill rise involuntarily from the bottom of their hearts.
"Are these handymen your people?" Xia Chen frowned and said that he had no intention of dealing with this matter. The top priority was to know what happened to sisters Li Yatong and Li Qitong.
If this disciple surnamed Lin really regards these arrogant and domineering handymen as his confidants and does something illegal, then he will notify the Law Enforcement Hall and be executed.
"No," the disciple surnamed Lin trembled and said quickly, "Junior brother went out to the handyman village to hand over tasks the day before yesterday. I accidentally saw this woman, and then... I got my mind on it. These handymen followed the pole. Junior brother, I deserve it.
Ten thousand deaths"
As he spoke, he lowered his head again. His heart was extremely uneasy, and his heart almost stopped beating.
"Leave this girl to me," Xia Chen said calmly, "I have something to do with her. As for these handymen, you can handle it yourself. If you handle it well, you can continue to be your disciple."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xia. Thank you Senior Brother Xia for not killing me." The disciple named Lin was ecstatic and excited. Knowing that Xia Chen had let him go, this was simply an unexpected joy. Compared with this result, he kowtowed a few times.
What does it matter if you shed some blood?
He stood up with a roar, looked at a few handymen and said sternly: "Why don't you hand over the person?"
The helpers had already turned pale with horror and were speechless with fear. The two helpers who were supporting Li Yatong were so frightened that they were shaking like chaff and couldn't walk for a long time.
Disciple surnamed Lin was anxious. He went up and kicked the two servants to the ground. Then he carefully lifted Li Yatong up and brought her over with his own hands.
Chen Lie reached out to take it and lifted the unconscious Li Yatong up.
"Senior Brother Lin, you are also an inner disciple, why are you so afraid of him? Is Xia Chen very powerful now? Why don't I think so?" The handyman didn't know whether he was scared to death or felt strange, so he subconsciously asked
a stupid remark
The disciple named Pa Lin turned around and slapped him hard on the face. He used all his strength to slap the handyman and flew him away. Blood splattered everywhere, and his mouth was full of broken teeth.
The jawbone was shattered into pieces.
The handyman fell to the ground, rolling on the ground, screaming like a slaughtered pig, his face was distorted.
The other handymen all screamed in surprise and couldn't help but tremble. They huddled together, their faces full of horror, and there was no trace of the arrogance and domineering look they had just now.
"Senior Brother Xia, I will immediately take these scum down the mountain and kill them all. Afterwards, I will contact the senior brother in the handyman village and explain that there are many people who want to be handymen." The disciple surnamed Lin said. He felt sorry for these scum in his heart.
The servant is already so angry that he wants to tear him into pieces immediately, but he can’t harm himself anymore.
Xia Chen nodded lightly, then turned around and left with Chen Lie.
The eyes of those handymen suddenly showed a look of despair. No matter how stupid they were at this moment, they knew that Xia Chen's status was far higher than that of Senior Brother Lin. In front of him, even the inner disciples had to kowtow and apologize, let alone the handymen like themselves.
It's ridiculous that they went beyond their capabilities to blackmail Xia Chen, and for the momentary pleasure, they actually had to pay the price with their lives.
"Xia Chen... Sir, please spare our lives. We know we were wrong. For the sake of those years in the same village, please spare our lives. I beg you."
"Brother Xia Chen, no, Grandpa Xia Chen, please let Senior Brother Lin let us go."
"Help, Lord Xia Chen, we kowtow to you."
Several handymen knelt down together and kowtowed to Xia Chen's back. Tears and runny noses ran down their faces. They shouted hoarsely at the top of their lungs, hoping that Xia Chen could forgive them.
Xia Chen didn't look back. He could have ignored these people, but these handymen actually revealed that they wanted to invade Li Yatong, which would never be tolerated.
In the blink of an eye, Xia Chen and Chen Lie's backs disappeared
"You scumbags almost caused me to be punished by Senior Brother Xia. If I don't let you die miserably today, my surname will not be Lin." The disciple surnamed Lin showed a ferocious look and said fiercely.
He kicked and dragged several handymen like mourning mothers towards the mountain gate.
Returning to the courtyard where they originally lived, Sun Li and Fang Qiu were both there. The four of them carried the unconscious Li Yatong into the house. Xia Chen felt her pulse and felt relieved.
Li Yatong's injury was not serious. She was just in a coma due to dehydration and exhaustion. As long as she rested for a while, she would be fine. Sun Li changed her clothes, applied elixir to her wounds, and took a few Vitality Pills. Li Yatong
His face immediately looked much better
"Is this the sister of the Li family you were talking about? Why don't you see the other one? Did something really happen?" Sun Li asked
Xia Chen shook his head, saying that he didn't know either, and said, "Now we have to wait until she wakes up to know what happened?"
"I heard that she fled all the way. When she reached the handyman village, she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted. It seemed like someone was chasing her," Chen Lie said.
"Is it because the enemies of the Li family have not been wiped out? Or is there someone deliberately targeting the disciples of the Zhengxuan sect?" Fang Qiu said with a frown.
Xia Chen was silent in thought. Fang Qiu's suspicion was justified. However, Maplewood City was just a small town. Last time he went out for training, he had already helped the Li family to kill almost all the other three families. He shouldn't do it again.
There are enemies who have not been killed. Even if there are, they are only old, weak, sick and disabled, and they cannot have the ability to take revenge.
As for whether the Zhengxuan sect disciples are deliberately targeted, the possibility is small. Even if there is, they should not attack two little girls who are only at the first level of the day after tomorrow and have not yet worshiped the sect.
"No need to guess, we will know when she wakes up," Sun Li said
Xia Chen and the other three nodded.
"By the way, Xia Chen, the beauty of the Li family has come to seek refuge with you. How are you going to arrange it for her?" Fang Qiu said.
Xia Chen was stunned: "What are the arrangements? They are joining the Zhengxuan Sect as disciples, and they are not here to be my wife."
"I'm afraid that's what you're thinking. I think this eldest girl from the Li family is pretty. Last time you didn't come back for such a long time, were you fascinated by the two sisters? You didn't say anything no matter how I asked you last time.
You should confess this time," Fang Qiu said with a sly smile.
"Nonsense, I have nothing to do with them."
, I won’t be tempted at all, I let them worship at the mountain gate, it’s purely a matter of talent, I want to create two more pillars for the Zhengxuan Sect.”
"Tch..." Sun Li and Chen Lie both looked at him with contempt and made disdainful sounds.
"The pretty lady in pink, is she also a skeleton in your eyes?" Fang Qiu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have found a loophole in his words, "Then I don't know, senior sister... ah, no, is my junior aunt also a skeleton in your eyes?"
Skeleton?"
"How can this be confused with the same thing?" Xia Chen rolled his eyes, "Of course my junior sister-in-law is also a skeleton..."
With a squeak, Li Yatong suddenly groaned lowly, her eyelids moved, as if she was about to wake up.
The four people quickly stopped talking and joking, gathered around, and looked at her nervously.
After a while, Li Yatong slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were a little blurry, but then they became clear. She looked at Xia Chen with a hint of surprise.
Xia Chen looked kind and amiable, pretending to be a caring elder: "Yatong, you just woke up, don't be in a hurry to talk, rest for a while, take good care of your body, and then..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yatong suddenly stretched out her arms, hugged his neck tightly, and cried bitterly: "Brother Xia Chen, I finally see you, I miss you so much..."
Xia Chen's body froze suddenly, with an embarrassed look on his face. He wanted to push Li Yatong away but felt it was inappropriate. He didn't expect that after not seeing each other for so many days, the former eldest lady of the Li family would be so enthusiastic.
Fang Qiu, Chen Lie and Sun Li looked at him with smiling expressions on their faces. What they meant was, how can you still regard her as a skeleton this time? How can you still feel calm?
"Oh, some people are just sanctimonious," Fang Qiu sighed, pulling Chen Lie and Sun Li, "Let's go, don't use it as a candle holder here."
The word "candlestick" came from Xia Chenming. Originally, he wanted to mean an electric lamp, but unfortunately there was no such thing in this world, so he simply changed it to a candlestick. Over time, Fang Qiu and the other three learned it, and it came in handy at this time.
"Hey, why did you leave? Stay for dinner. I will make beef stew, potato and carrot soup for you tonight." Xia Chen expressed his loving thoughts with his eyes.
But the three of them just looked at him with sneers.
"Xia Chen, I heard that you rescued a girl who was unconscious?" Suddenly, Chen Qiushui's voice rang in the courtyard (to be continued)
