Ling Xiao looked at the exquisite box in Hu Zhizhi's hand, but did not take it. He asked with a smile: "What did Master Gongsun give you this time?"
Hu Zhizhi solemnly said: "The gift given by the master is definitely worthy of Brother Ling's status. Besides, Brother Ling should also know the sincerity of Songshan Sword Sect during this period of time."
During the year and three months that Ling Xiao was in seclusion, Gongsun Lie sent people to express his goodwill more than once, and the gifts he sent became more valuable each time.
The purpose is to recruit this former Qingfengguan twin star into the family.
And as the messenger, it was always Hu Zhiwen.
Speaking of which, as early as the formation of the Songshan Sword Sect, Hu Zhizhi had offered an olive branch to Ling Xiao at the gate of the city. The two were already destined to be together.
Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Brother Hu, please give a message to the head Gongsun, expressing his feelings. Ling Xiao accepts it, but he will not be rewarded for no merit. Please take back this generous gift!"
Hu did not know how to sigh: "No reward for no merit! In that case, why don't Brother Ling join our sect and make great contributions based on your cultivation?"
Even so, he was just complaining, and Ling Xiao refused as always, indicating that there was absolutely no room for negotiation on the matter.
At least, for now.
"Brother Ling, see you later!"
Hu Zhizhi cupped his hands and left without any delay.
Ling Xiao had no expression on his face as he watched Hu Zhiwen disappear at the end of the street.
Although he has no favorable impression of the Songshan Sword Sect, he has to say that there are normal people in the Songshan Sword Sect, such as this Hu Wenzhi.
After several contacts, Ling Xiao had a good impression of this person.
"It's going to be very busy in the future."
He looked away and whispered to himself.
He was so well informed about the Songshan Sword Sect, and he just went out today.
From the looks of it, it's time for the next customer to come.
"It's Ling Xiao!"
"What? He actually came out!"
At this time, Ling Xiao, who was standing at the door of the manor, finally attracted the attention of the people passing by. After seeing his appearance clearly, people were shocked.
This face once represented Linfeng City to a certain extent.
But now, with the "Old Mysterious Demon" incident coming to light, Ling Xiao has become Linfeng City's shame!
Disciple of the Rainy Night Butcher!
"Ling Xiao, get out of Linfeng City!"
The crowd gathered around, and among the shadowy figures, an unknown person roared, causing bursts of cheers!
"You should pay with your life for the people who died tragically!"
"Linfeng City does not welcome evil spirits and heretics!"
People were shouting and cursing, but when Ling Xiao glanced around, he couldn't find who was speaking.
Those who add fuel to the flames always hide in the darkness behind the people, claiming to be the righteous people behind the scenes, but they dare not see the light when faced with Ling Xiao, who is known as the "evil".
At this moment, a black shadow shot out from the crowd and slammed into Ling Xiao's face!
"Get out!"
A young childish voice shouted.
Of course, this black shadow couldn't hurt Ling Xiao, so he caught it casually and opened it, only to see a dirty little paper ball.
But the people had already begun to cheer for the young man who threw it, shouting that the backbone of Linfeng City was not broken, and even such a young child knew how to distinguish right from wrong.
Ling Xiao was bored, shook his head, and turned back to the manor.
But the people refused to let him go. The door crackled for a while, and no one knew how many rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs they threw at him to vent their anger.
Boom!
Ling Xiao suddenly opened the big iron door and looked coldly at the crowd outside the manor.
The crowd was startled and fell silent for a moment. Under Ling Xiao's intimidating gaze, they all took a step back, showing vigilance and horror.
"Whoever dares to break down my door again, I will kill him."
Ling Xiao spoke solemnly, his face looking even more sinister and terrifying under the dim sky.
At the same time, the coercion of the ninth level of Qi Refining swept the entire place mercilessly!
He had just killed three monsters today, and the accumulated evil energy spurted out, roaring like a freezing hurricane, raging past!
The common people, who had no power to restrain the chicken, sensed this evil spirit and pressure, and could not help but feel infinite fear in their hearts. They screamed and fled like birds and beasts.
At this moment, the man at the door of the manor seemed to be a real devil!
The noisy streets just now became deserted in an instant. Even the monks retreated sternly in the face of this pressure.
Rumble…
The door is closed again.
Ling Xiao leaned against the door and let out a long breath.
It didn't matter if he was scolded a few times by the common people. Ling Xiao was not such a "stingy" person.
But he really couldn't stand throwing rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs.
Looking back at the beginning, when the incident first happened, Ling Xiao was ostracized by the whole city. He had to go out in the middle of the night to clean the gates and walls every day, which made him extremely annoyed.
The city is my home, and health depends on everyone!
Can you please have a sense of ownership and not cause sabotage?
Besides, the manor is not his, he has always been a tenant!
After worrying about the quality education in Linfeng City, Ling Xiao unfolded the paper ball just now.
"Damn it, the Red Cult actually dares to instigate children to pass on information. It's so... shameless!"
Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and said.
Actually employing child labor!
The content on the paper was clearly someone's detailed information. It was written in small regular script. It was so densely packed that it would be bad for your eyesight if you read it for a long time.
He returned to the green tree and lit up the lamp to read.
【Lao Yu? Who? 】
[Why are you studying this? 】
Bi Qingshu also took a few glances and asked curiously.
Ling Xiao read everything silently, then lit a cluster of flames with his fingertips and burned the paper ball to ashes.
"Lao Yu..."
Under the last ray of the setting sun on the horizon, Ling Xiao's shadow stretched long, and he whispered the name.
On the approaching late spring night, the evening breeze becomes chilly and bleak for no reason!
For Tiantang Dan, he promised to do three things for the Red Sect.
Now the first thing is to kill Lao Yu.
The Red Sect seemed to be sure that he would not refuse. At the end, he did not even leave his contact information to refuse.
Yes, Ling Xiao had no reason to refuse.
He and Lao Yu still had an account to settle.
When Qingfeng Guan was in trouble, it was Lao Yu who took the lead in attacking Xuan Jizi and Qingfeng Guan, denounced Xuan Jizi and Qingfeng Guan, and showed his face to add insult to injury.
Even if the Red Sect didn't entrust this matter, Ling Xiao would still go to Lao Yu.
…
The lanterns are on.
Bistro.
Ling Xiao looked around carefully before entering. After finding no suspicious fish, Shi Shiran came to the window seat and sat down.
He ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes, drank it leisurely, and watched the rain from the window.
The wine was hard to drink, but it suited Ling Xiao just right.
There is no other reason, I just suddenly discovered that the wine that tastes bad seems to taste good.
The fox mask looked even more comical in the candlelight.
From the perspective of others, Ling Xiao, who only showed the third level of Qi Refining, was just a boring low-level monk with a mediocre future who drank to drown his sorrows.
It was only the eyes under the mask that flashed with an undetectable sharpness when they passed the gate of Laojiabao not far away.
He waited quietly.
According to intelligence, Lao Yu has been in close contact with the county prince's government recently, and the two parties seem to be negotiating some important business. Lao Yu often doesn't return until midnight.
He has been short for seven consecutive days, and today is the eighth day.
