Chapter nine hundred and sixty nine, Lin Bairu's helplessness
"Ha~" Lin Baijian gave a long sneer and said disdainfully: "Although my eldest brother mentioned before his death that you would be in charge of the Lin family if he died unfortunately, you were too cowardly to have such intention back then. I have been in charge for many years. Do you take it seriously?"
Do you think you still have the ability to compete with me for the position of head of the family?"
Lin Bairu frowned, "Then what do you want me to do? As long as you don't hurt Amei, I will obey you no matter what!"
"Bai Ru~" Mei Qiumeng couldn't bear to say, her red eyes were full of affection. It was only at this moment that she realized that after hiding for so many years, what she really couldn't let go of was still this elegant figure in front of her.
Lin Bairu felt surprisingly calm in his heart when he heard Mei Qiumeng's call.
He had not heard such a title for many years, and now that he heard it again, he would be content to die.
Mei Qiumeng couldn't bear to let Lin Bairu be threatened and do something outrageous because of herself, so she immediately cursed at Lin Bajian: "If you have the ability, just kill me. What's the point of holding a woman hostage!"
Lin Baijian glared at Mei Qiumeng coldly, and then said to Lin Bairu: "I want you to rush back to the Lin family immediately, use all means to seize the position of the head of the family, and then find out the specific location of Gourd Ruins!"
"Okay, okay, I'll give you everything. Let me go first. I'll give you everything," Lin Bairu responded nervously and subconsciously, but when he came back to his senses, he was suddenly startled, with a look of astonishment on his face, "What on earth are you trying to do? What are you doing?"
Isn’t he the head of the Lin family?”
Lin Baijian angrily scolded: "Lin Liyun is still alive! This time he came back and ruined my big job. I want you to go back and seize the position of the head of the family before the young and old in the clan elect him as the head of the family!"
Lin Bairu heard the previous words and learned that Lin Liyun was not only alive, but also destroyed Lin Baijian's plot. He was pleasantly surprised. He also saw that what Lin Baijian wanted to do was to seize the position of the head of the family, and his face could not help but darken.
With a straight face, Lin Baijian strangled Mei Qiumeng hard until the latter's face turned purple and she made a muffled sound of pain that shocked Lin Bairu to come to his senses before he stopped.
Lin Bairu looked panicked and quickly begged for mercy: "You let Amei go, and I will go back with you right now."
In his heart, he was ready to commit suicide. In Lin Bairu's heart, the responsibility of guarding the secret treasure from generation to generation was much more important than his life.
Lin Baijian sneered, "Second brother, after all these years, do I still not know your temperament? Let her go, and I will have no other way to blackmail you! Who will I find to vent to when you commit suicide? When will you find me?
Once I find the location of Gourd Market, I will let her go."
Lin Bairu's eyes were filled with despair and powerlessness, and he turned around and said, "You have been the head of the family for so long and still haven't found the location of Gourd Ruins. How can I find it?"
He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that Mei Qiumeng would die because of him. He planned to comply with Lin Baijian's wishes first and take the opportunity to delay finding a way to save Mei Qiumeng.
"That was before!" A hint of gloom flashed in Lin Baijian's eyes, "I have always thought that clues about Calabash Ruins would be hidden in eldest brother's relics or in the clan's Kung Fu library, but I ignored that old immortal!"
Lin Bairu frowned and said in surprise: "Grandma knows?"
"she……"
Just as Lin Baijian opened his mouth to say one word, he suddenly felt a terrifying aura behind him. In an instant, he was in front of him.
That is... sword light!
This offensive is very fast!
It’s faster than the meridians in his body lifting Qi!
He was forced to make a choice, let go, or break his arm!
In desperation, Lin Baijian no longer cared about Mei Qiumeng in his hand, and quickly let go and moved sideways to avoid a terrifying sword strike that suddenly struck him.
He stood up and took a step, turned around and looked behind him. When he saw that it was Zhong Sanxiao who suddenly attacked him, Lin Baijian's face instantly darkened.
Hu~
Following the jade dragon colt's hiss, Lu Feng and Lin Xiaojin also walked over from the chariot in the distance.
"Second uncle!" At Lin Xiaojin's signal, Lu Feng respectfully bowed to Lin Bairu in front of him.
Lin Bairu glanced at Lu Feng's location. After a brief flash of surprise, he no longer cared about responding, but continued to greet the woman beside him nervously, caring about the latter's injury.
When he saw Mei Qiumeng's white neck with bruises from being strangled, Lin Bairu showed undisguised distress on his face.
"I'm not in the way," Mei Qiumeng murmured softly, and gently pressed Lin Bairu's hand that touched her neck. She felt many eyes around her looking at her, and she couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed of her daughter's family.
Lin Bairu's heart melted when he heard Mei Qiumeng's soft and soft tone. Over the years, no matter how he apologized or made amends, the latter always had a straight face and a cold and unfamiliar attitude.
.
Now, it feels like the past again.
Lin Bairu also knew from the gentle gesture shown by Mei Qiumeng that the latter's anger, which had lasted for more than ten years, finally began to resolve.
Phew!
Two dark gold darts suddenly came out from Lin Baijian's sleeves and struck directly at where Lu Feng and Lin Bairu were.
Needless to say, the power of the hidden weapons used by soul masters at the Heavenly Soul Realm level is undeniable.
"careful!"
Zhong Sanxiao was originally confronting Lin Baijian, but when he suddenly saw the latter executing this killing move, he couldn't help being shocked and angry, and immediately rushed towards Lu Feng's location.
With his current position, he could only save one person in such a desperate situation.
I instinctively chose Lu Feng!
Ding~
The sound of the long sword flying away from the dark gold spike was heard.
Lu Feng felt the strong wind blowing past his face, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the spiritual energy in his body that was already running at its peak was slowly suppressed.
If Zhong Sanxiao hadn't taken action, Lin Liyun would have obviously been unable to dodge such a dart with the strength he showed at this moment.
"No~Amei!"
At this moment, Lin Bairu's miserable and urgent roar came out.
Everyone looked around and saw that he was holding Mei Qiumeng in his arms, and the dart thrown by Lin Baijian earlier was blocked by Hao Ran with Mei Qiumeng's body, protecting Lin Bairu.
Zhong Sanxiao stepped forward quickly and looked at the long nail staring at Mei Qiumeng's back and shoulder. He was about to say that it had not hurt any vital parts, but suddenly he saw a hint of black appearing on the wound. He was immediately startled: "No, the nail is not hurt."
It’s poisonous!”
Angry eyes looked towards where Lin Baijian was. There was no trace of him. He had already escaped under the sneak attack of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao".
Lin Bairu shouted anxiously: "Mr. Zhong, please save Amei!"
"Help her sit down cross-legged," Zhong Sanxiao signaled, then came behind Mei Qiumeng and tapped several large acupoints one after another to cut off the spread of toxins.
He raised his hand and put it against the spike, and the spiritual energy slowly enveloped it, "I don't know how to remove poison, so I can only force the poison spike out of the body for the time being. The specific recovery will have to be treated by a pharmacist after returning!"
Lin Bairu's face was pale and he nodded feebly. At this moment, he felt so helpless. He had been studying the books of sages for many years, but he could not play any role when encountering danger. He could not even protect the woman he loved.
.
When something goes wrong, I just ask for help!
Seeing Zhong Sanxiao trying his best to save Mei Qiumeng, Lin Bairu felt that he was useless and could not help in any way.
Although he is not good at practicing, he also understands that if Mei Qiumeng is injured like this, even if Zhong Sanxiao has the strength to take action, he can't easily save her even if he wants to, and it will definitely consume a lot of money.
