When I arrived at the inn counter and explained the purpose of my stay, the innkeeper asked, "How many days will I be staying?"
The auction arranged by Jiantian Pavilion will be in a month. It seems that I will stay here for a month. Lin Jin smiled and said: "One month."
"One month, sixty gold."
It's okay not to say it, but when Lin Jin said it, he suddenly remembered that this is a mortal country, and the currency in circulation is not spiritual stones!
Seeing Lin Jin a little unnatural, thinking that Lin Jin didn't hear clearly, the shopkeeper said again: "Sixty gold, no more, no less."
Lin Jin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, laughed twice and said, "Wait a minute, I'll look for it."
After rummaging through the storage bag, Lin Jin finally found some scraps of gold in Cai Tian's storage bag. Lin Jin was relieved.
After paying the room fee, Lin Jin was about to follow the shopkeeper's instructions to find his room when he suddenly heard the two people chatting in the corner, and his pace naturally slowed down.
"In the past few months, it used to be that boys and girls disappeared outside the city. Now the city has become more and more unsafe, and strange things about boys and girls missing have begun to appear."
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on? Is there a monster?"
"..."
After roughly understanding it, without paying too much attention, Lin Jin came to his room and began to adjust his mentality and make some plans for the future.
Lin Jin suddenly opened his eyes early the next morning. It was not that Lin Jin had finished practicing, but the noise from the outside world that forced Lin Jin to stop practicing. Something happened!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
There was a hurried knock on the door, and Lin Jin opened the door. The shopkeeper said to Lin Jin anxiously outside: "Sir, come out quickly. The eldest lady of the Hai family has led people to surround the place.
All of you who live in this store should get out, otherwise she will destroy my store..."
Lin Jin frowned and said, "Miss Hai family?"
As soon as he heard the word "eldest lady", Lin Jin understood something in his heart, and followed the shopkeeper and some guests out of the inn.
At this time, there were more than a dozen servant-like people in black clothes standing on the street outside the inn, surrounding the exit of the inn.
Lin Jin looked at the two women standing among the servants in black in the crowd. They were the woman from yesterday and the maid named Xiaoyan.
As soon as Lin Jin appeared, the woman noticed Lin Jin, and directly ignored the unimportant people around to stare at Lin Jin.
"Hmph, run! Don't think I can't find you! Now in Suyue City, on our Hai family's territory, let's see how arrogant you are."
Now, what the eldest daughter of the Hai family said immediately made Lin Jin the focus of everyone's discussion.
Early in the morning, there were so many people gathered on the street that many passers-by began to gather and join in the fun.
Lin Jin swept his consciousness and saw that no one on the street was a cultivator, they were all ordinary mortals.
To put it bluntly, if Lin Jin showed his power, it would only take a few seconds to kill everyone, but Lin Jin naturally would not do it. He said slowly: "The Hai family... Miss, I don't know how much you listened to what I said yesterday.
In short, I have made it very clear that I did not mean to belittle you in the lake."
It was okay not to say this, but as soon as I said it, many people watching the excitement started talking about it.
"No, this kid dares to eat Miss Hai's tofu?"
"Damn, he's still in some kind of lake when he says that. It's so sentimental."
"Shut up, all of you! Watch carefully..."
"..."
Hearing what Lin Jin said and seeing the reactions of everyone around her, the eldest daughter of the Hai family was so angry that she felt like she had difficulty breathing.
Xiaoyan next to her quickly calmed her breath and said to the many servants behind her: "What are you waiting for? Bring him back to the house!"
"Girl, I said the older generation in your family won't let you be so presumptuous, right?" Lin Jin was trying to mediate for the last time. If the other party still insisted on not giving up, he would use some means.
But when I thought about it, it seemed that the Hai family was quite powerful in Suyue City. Let's go back to the Hai family with them first to see if there might be some cultivators there.
"Humph, Silver Thief, my father will definitely not let you go!"
After saying that, he walked out of the crowd directly, with the obvious intention of letting the servants take Lin Jin away.
In order not to make the matter a big deal, and also wanted to visit the Hai family, Lin Jin had no choice but to temporarily obey the servants around him who were ready to take action at any time and let him be taken away.
As Lin Jin was taken away, the people watching the excitement dispersed.
The Hai family mansion is located to the east of Suyue City. The luxurious mansion makes people look like it belongs to a powerful family.
Lin Jin, who was "invited" into the Hai family compound, saw a middle-aged man in plain clothes and a rosy face blocking the way of the eldest daughter of the Hai family.
What surprised Lin Jin a little was that the middle-aged man turned out to be a cultivator! And he also had a cultivation level in the middle stage of the Extradition Realm!
"Weier, why did you go out with so many family members so early in the morning? Are you going to cause trouble for your father and me again? What happened to this man?"
The middle-aged man pointed at Lin Jin as he spoke, asking Haiwei to explain clearly.
In front of the middle-aged man, Haiwei changed her unreasonable attitude in front of Lin Jin and became very well-behaved. She whispered coquettishly: "Dad, it's not what you think."
Then he told what happened in Fengming Mountain yesterday, and the more he talked about it, the angrier he became.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man asked, "Did you use the powder I gave you to drive away wild beasts when you went there?" After receiving a positive answer, he asked, "What about when you come back?"
When the middle-aged man asked, Heiwei seemed to have remembered something and said hesitantly: "It seemed... useless when I came back."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately frowned and turned to look at Lin Jin, but Lin Jin's voice rang out in the sea of consciousness.
"My dear, Lin Jin, what your daughter said this time was just caused by my unintentional actions, so please forgive me, Master Hai."
Hearing Lin Jin's voice, the middle-aged man was shocked. Since he knew that Lin Jin was a cultivator and was at a higher level than himself, the middle-aged man hurriedly said: "You should be forgiven by fellow Taoist Lin. My little girl has always done things like this, making fellow Taoist Lin laugh.
Already."
"If you don't understand my explanation, please help me, Master Hai, to explain it to me and apologize for me."
"Don't dare, don't dare, Haicheng must give my little girl a good education."
After a few glances, the middle-aged man roughly understood Lin Jin's identity, and suddenly burst into laughter. For a moment, the surrounding servants and Haiwei were confused and looked at Haiwei with puzzled faces.
The head of the family, Haicheng.
"Here, please invite Mr. Lin to rest in the backyard. Don't be negligent."
Haicheng suddenly ordered, and the most surprised person was his daughter Haiwei.
"Dad... you... he bullied his daughter..." Heiwei couldn't believe that her father wouldn't help her, and said with some dissatisfaction.
Hai Cheng ignored Hai Wei and asked his servants to take Lin Jin to the backyard.
When Lin Jin passed by Haiwei, he deliberately made an invulnerable expression and said softly: "Miss Haiwei, your father is wise and knows that I am innocent." After saying that, he followed the servant and left the garden.
Haiwei suddenly became angry and was about to speak, but unexpectedly Hai Cheng snorted and said to her: "Wei'er, follow me!"
Reluctantly, Haicheng followed Haicheng to the pavilion in the garden. Before Haiwei could say anything, Haicheng said, "Weier, you almost caused a big disaster!"
This sentence made Haiwei a little confused and could only look at Hai Cheng blankly.
Haicheng sighed inexplicably and continued: "Do you know why I don't let you become a cultivator like dad?"
"Aren't you just afraid that I might offend some cultivators?" Haiwei seemed to sense how nervous Hai Cheng was.
"Yes, so you almost killed our family this time! Do you know who the young man named Lin Jin is?"
"Could he be..." Haiwei was not an ignorant person, so she guessed.
"With his level of cultivation, he might be able to wipe out our Hai family in a matter of seconds and bleed us into a river of blood."
"this……"
"There are hundreds of people in our Hai family. We don't offend anyone just because we want to. Especially cultivators, we must consider everything carefully..."
