The lantern hanging on the gate of the inn has been lit by the waiter, and two shadows, one long and one short, are reflected under the lantern.
The short shadow kept moving, but the long shadow remained motionless.
"It's brother! Brother is back!" The short shadow jumped away from the long shadow, and the long shadow just chased for a step and then stopped again.
This was the shadow of Qiao Waner and Zhong Hui. Seeing that it was getting dark and Lin Chuan hadn't come back, Qiao Waner felt anxious and went to the inn door to wait eagerly.
Zhong Hui couldn't bear her to stay alone at the door, so she waited for Lin Chuan with her. She didn't know when she started to worry about Lin Chuan's safety, and she couldn't explain why.
"Brother, why are you back so late! Wan'er is so worried about you!" Qiao Wan'er flew towards Lin Chuan and was about to pull Lin Chuan's sleeves, but found that Lin Chuan's sleeves were missing. She looked up and realized that
Broken mark on shoulder.
"Brother, why did your sleeve break?"
"Hey! Brother, why is your hair like this?"
Zhong Hui also frowned when he saw this. He was still a well-dressed and handsome young man when he went out. Why did he look like this when he came back?
The little girl asked too quickly, and Lin Chuan didn't know which question to answer first, and he didn't want to worry her, but he didn't think of how to make up a story, so he chose not to answer for the time being, and like a magic trick, he took out two candied haws from behind.
Qiao Wan'er's eyes were instantly attracted to the candied haws, with a greedy expression on her face, she reached for one and tasted it happily.
Lin Chuan touched Qiao Waner's head and looked at Zhong Hui on one side. When Zhong Hui saw Lin Chuan looking over, he lowered his head instantly and looked away.
"Here, this one is yours, Xiaofen."
Zhong Hui was looking down at her little hands, which had nowhere to rest, when a candied haws suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
Zhong Hui raised his head and looked into Lin Chuan's smiling eyes and murmured, "Is this for me?"
Lin Chuan nodded.
"Let's leave it to Wan'er to eat..." Zhong Hui still didn't reach out to take it, but swallowed her saliva in disappointment.
"Just take it and eat it. Wan'er can't eat more. If you eat any more, you'll become a little fat cat. I still have some things to ask Senior Luo. You two should go back to your room and rest early." Lin Chuan finished.
The candied haws of sugarcane was stuffed into Zhong Hui's hand.
Qiao Waner didn't hear anything Lin Chuan said, she just enjoyed her candied haws.
Zhong Hui stared blankly at the candied haws in his hand, as if a deer was bumping against his chest. After realizing it, he murmured to himself: "He just called me Xiao Hui..."
Suddenly, a plump porcelain doll-like face appeared in front of Zhong Hui. The porcelain doll did not conceal the greed in its eyes, licked the corner of its mouth and said flatteringly: "Sister Xiao Hui, you just said that you would leave this candied haws for you."
Wan'er, does she have something to eat?"
"No, you heard wrong..." Zhong Hui quickly raised the candied haws in his hand and protected it in front of his chest, his voice was inaudible.
Qiao Waner pursed her lips and chased after Zhong Hui, asking if she could give her one.
…
Lin Chuan bumped into Luo Xinghe as soon as he entered the inn. Luo Xinghe was followed by two people, Lu Liubao and Zhong Lai.
The three of them led Lin Chuan into the cubicle. The three of them were about to go to the water market together to look for Lin Chuan. They didn't come back so late, and they were worried that Lin Chuan had been attacked by someone.
Lin Chuan felt warm after hearing this, but saw that the food on the table was untouched, as they were waiting for him to come back to eat together. Lin Chuan said in his heart that these three people should be good friends, and if they can help in the future, they will do their best.
.
Zhong Lai asked the waiter to warm the food and wine on the table, and then asked about Lin Chuan's experience.
"Ah Chuan, your hairstyle is quite unique. It's short in the middle and long on all sides. It can easily be mistaken for being semi-bald. It kind of means that you are lustful and have a hairpin." Zhong Lai pointed at Lin Chuan's broken hair and teased.
"I met a bad guy on the road and almost had my head chopped off with a knife, but luckily I saved my life." Lin Chuan scratched the broken hair on his head, and now his scalp is still numb when he thinks about it.
The three of them were shocked when they heard the words and asked for details. Lin Chuan briefly described the robbery. He skipped the part about Wan Gongzi and only said that he bought a Jiuyao imitation pill, without mentioning it.
And the snowflake tattoo on the leader’s hand.
Lin Chuan knew that this matter had something to do with Mr. Wan. Mr. Wan was also a man of truth in Mingcheng. The less people knew about it, the better, to avoid leaks. It is not yet known that the robbery and murder were caused by the leader's greed for money.
The idea is still the instruction of Mr. Wan. If it is the former, it will be fine. If it is the latter, it will be difficult to leave the city tomorrow.
The three of them sighed after hearing this. Lin Chuan told the three of them not to tell outsiders about this matter. After all, he had killed someone in Mingcheng. If the officials knew about it, there would be some trouble, not to mention that this person was still a servant of Young Master Wan.
"This knife is too eye-catching, so I asked Senior Luo to keep it for a while and return it to me after we leave the city. " Lin Chuan saw Luo Xinghe nodding and handed the long knife to him.
Luo Xinghe secretly praised Lin Chuan for his thoughtfulness. He took the long knife and took off the sleeve. A flash of scarlet came into everyone's eyes. The blade was emitting a faint light. Two small words were engraved on the blade near the blade, "Drink blood."
Luo Xinghe tried to inject spiritual power into it, but was resisted by the blood-drinking knife. It seemed that the blood had recognized the owner of the knife. With his level of cultivation, one hour was enough to break the blood contract in the knife.
"A blood contract has been made with this sword. I will break the blood contract tonight and return it to you tomorrow. Otherwise, with your cultivation, even if you reach the Xuanling realm, you will not be able to break it." Luo Xinghe was about to drink.
The blood knife is included in the Qiankun Ring.
The blood contract between a spiritual master and a spiritual weapon is very difficult for a spiritual master of the same realm to erase within ten or eight years. Unless a spiritual master of a higher realm is asked to help, or a weapon refiner is asked to help remove it.
, but most people will not wade into these muddy waters. A spiritual weapon that has a blood contract must belong to an owner. If the owner of the suffering comes to visit, it will be somewhat involved, which will damage the reputation.
"Thank you, senior." Lin Chuan was grateful, but Luo Xinghe was thoughtful.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Lin Chuan asked about the whereabouts of Wen Qi and Xie Ziyang, but there was no sign of them when they returned to the inn.
"Brother Achuan still cares about them. He came back early and was very drunk. He was carried back by a few turtles. If you ask me, if you drink too much, you can stay in the Huajian Restaurant for one night. I have to say that I
Students of Dongxuan Academy must abide by the rules and do not leave the outing team. The academy will be disgraced by them!"
"They are probably afraid that if they oversleep tomorrow morning, we will leave them behind again." Luo Xinghe continued Zhong Lai's words and said with a smile.
Lu Liubao and Zhong Lai were stunned when they heard this. They had never seen Luo Xinghe talking and joking with them so calmly along the way. Perhaps they had experienced life and death together and had narrowed the distance between them, and then they both started laughing.
"You guys don't know. I heard from Mr. Turtle that Wen Qi got drunk and insisted on calling a girl for one of his dead brothers. The girls were so frightened that they ran away one after another, which made the madam angry..."
Lin Chuan sighed inwardly. He didn't expect that this Wen Qi was still a person who valued love and justice. Ming Yu should be relieved to know that he knew this.
