Before Lin Qi could say anything, another person suddenly appeared in the distance. He was about thirty years old, wearing a green brocade robe, and he had an extraordinary bearing.
Lin Qi's heart immediately relaxed.
Lin Qi recognized this man as the eldest son of the sixth eldest son of the Lin family. According to the rules, she had to call him sixth uncle.
"Brother Lin, why are you here?" Manager Ruan asked Uncle Lin Liu, his eyes turned to Lin Qi with a clear look on his face, "It seems that this Taoist friend Lin Qi is a junior of the Lin family?"
Lin Qi took advantage of the situation and shouted: "Uncle Six."
Uncle Lin Liu looked at Lin Qi lovingly, and the expression on his face returned to coldness, "Xiao Qi was ambushed just after leaving home. What on earth is going on?! The security in Huangcheng has been so bad recently?"
Steward Ruan and the other two stewards looked at each other, knowing that this matter needed to be discussed carefully.
…
It is not difficult to investigate Lin Qi's attack.
Uncle Lin Liu knew what was going on as soon as he saw the dead Jindan monk, and his teeth itched with hatred.
He comforted Lin Qi and said: "Xiao Qi, don't be afraid, my great-aunt will definitely seek justice for you in this matter!"
"In the past few years, the Lin family has been getting better and better in Huangcheng. It may have been an eyesore to others. When news about you in Tianyi Sect came back to Huangcheng, these people started to have thoughts that they shouldn't have."
This is similar to what Lin Qi guessed.
Lin Qi did not miss Uncle Lin Liu's glare at Elder Chen when he spoke.
With the Huangcheng Lin family standing behind them, it was impossible to just let this matter go.
Manager Ruan and Manager Yang smiled brightly and said that they would definitely give Lin Qi a satisfactory result, which made Manager Chen beside him blush red and blue anxiously.
I don’t know whether he was in a hurry to report the news or whether he was in a hurry and failed to throw the blame away.
Uncle Lin Liu knew that Lin Qi had a mission, so he asked her to continue with the mission and left all other matters to the Lin family.
Lin Qi nodded, but she knew that the matter was not over yet.
Sure enough, after Uncle Lin Liu left, Manager Ruan took Manager Chen to catch the fleeing people.
Uncle Goat Beard stroked his beard, and his smile faded a bit, "Fellow Daoist Lin, if I remember correctly, you are now the captain of the Blackwater River Branch. There has been no order to enter the city in recent days. How could you be here for no reason? What about the attack outside the deserted city?"
Lin Qi: "..."
I couldn't hide the fact that I stayed at Lin's house for eight days.
Lin Qi's absence from duty could be a big or small matter.
Judging from Uncle Goatee's appearance, I'm afraid he's not ready to be kind.
Lin Qi was actually a little confused. Master Goatee Beard now knew her identity. Is he really not prepared to care about the Lin family's reputation behind her?
"Uncle, please punish me!" Lin Qi didn't explain much and took the initiative to plead guilty and accept punishment.
Uncle Goat Beard snorted, "With the power of the Lin family, you think I dare not punish you severely?"
Lin Qi: "...don't dare!"
When did she rely on the Lin family's influence?
Lin Qike didn't say anything yet.
Uncle Goat Beard seemed to like talking to himself. He ignored Lin Qi's reply and raised his chin and said: "You thought I didn't dare to touch you, but I still have to punish you!"
Lin Qi: "..."
Returning to his hut, Uncle Goatee pulled out a scroll from somewhere, picked up a pen and wrote a few lines on it.
"Okay, don't be the captain of Blackwater Town anymore!"
Lin Qi said nothing and looked at him quietly, her black and white eyes clear, waiting for what Uncle Goat Beard would say next.
"I don't know where you got the human eye, but the North-South Evil Suppression Alliance specifically asked me for you!"
Uncle Goatee-bearded Master frowned at the scroll and groaned, glancing at Lin Qi who was looking up at him, "Do you think I will let you go to the North-South Evil Suppression Alliance?"
"What a wonderful idea!" The little old man raised his chin high, a bit arrogant.
Lin Qi: "..."
"Not only do I not let you go to the North-South Evil Suppression Alliance, I also want you to disgust them. Are my people so easy to steal?"
Uncle Goat Beard waved his hand and threw the scroll to Lin Qi.
Lin Qi took a look at the scroll and looked a little strange for a moment.
The little old man sat on the chair and shook his head, his eyes half-closed, as if he was asleep, "Why are you still standing here? Are you not satisfied with the new task I gave you?"
Lin Qi put away the scroll and saluted the little old man, "I don't dare."
Goatee waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go! Don't block the old man from letting me bask in the sun!"
"If there is another problem with the mission, I will have no choice but to send you back to Tianyi Sect. Don't blame me for being cruel then."
Lin Qi rolled her eyes, cupped her fists and saluted, "Thank you, Uncle Yang, for your consideration. Lin Qi will definitely complete the task seriously!"
Seeing Master Yang's impatient expression, Lin Qi turned and left.
The steps under my feet were relaxed and fast, and I felt inexplicably better.
Is this a blessing in disguise for her?
Master Yang actually threw her to guard the Demon Emperor's tomb!
This task may seem dangerous and difficult, but for Lin Qi who wants to find out the disappearance of Senior Sister Yuan Xi, it is indeed the best thing.
Lin Qi wondered as she walked, is this really a coincidence?
Isn't it too much of a coincidence?
Just looking at Master Yang's behavior, it was obvious that he was not ready to explain things to Lin Qi.
Back in Blackwater Town, everyone except Luo Ci was very worried when they learned that Lin Qi was sent to guard the Demon Emperor's tomb.
Chen Bai was even more worried and asked: "Why did you offend Master Yang? The Demon Emperor's Tomb is the place visited the most by evil cultivators in the past two years. It is extremely dangerous. It's just two days of absence from work. Why is there such a heavy punishment?"
Lin Qi raised her eyebrows, suddenly confused.
Could it be that Old Man Yang was really targeting her and had other agendas?
"It's okay. It's true that I've been absent from my post for too long this time. Fortunately, there have been no accidents in Blackwater Town for the past eight days. Otherwise, my sin would have been huge."
"How can it be okay?!"
Chen Tao was also a little excited. She thought that Lin Qi was sent to guard the Demon Emperor's Tomb at a young age. Evil cultivators were rampant there, and it would be terrible if something happened.
But before she could finish speaking, Luo Ci couldn't help but ask: "Second senior sister, you go to guard the Demon Emperor's tomb, what about me?!"
Lin Qi met his big, pitiful eyes and didn't know how to speak for a moment.
"This... is also something that can't be helped."
She scratched her head and comforted Luo Ci: "You are staying in Heishui Town now, and we will talk about it after you improve your strength."
Luo Ci wanted to say something, but was silenced by Lin Qi's look.
Lin Qi originally brought Luo Ci to Huangcheng mainly to take advantage of his good luck. Now it seems that Luo Ci's good luck is all about protecting himself and has nothing to do with her.
He was also really lucky. Whenever there was real danger, he could avoid it safely, leaving his poor senior sister to fight alone.
Lin Qi thought for a while and decided to put Luo Ci in Heishui Town first.
In this way, Lin Qi defied all opinions and went to the Demon Emperor's Tomb to report that afternoon.
There are several teams responsible for guarding the Demon Emperor's Tomb.
One group was directly dispatched by the Tianyi Sect, one was dispatched by the North-South Evil Suppression Alliance, and the other was dispatched by the branch of the Huangcheng Tianyi Sect.
There are three teams, the former guards the real core area of the Demon Emperor's Tomb, the latter is responsible for the security issues around the Demon Emperor's Tomb and Beilin, and the last team is responsible for guarding the periphery of the Demon Emperor's Tomb, which is no different from the gatekeepers.
