Wen Renjie led him all the way to the garden.
It was obviously still freezing cold outside with heavy snow falling, but in this house, although there was also snow, it seemed extremely warm.
After Wen Renjie led Lin Ji and the others to a table in the corner of the garden, he bowed and left in a hurry.
Watching him go away, Lin Ji looked at Fang Qing in surprise.
"That person was just giving you the junior courtesy. I couldn't tell that you, little girl, are quite senior."
"I don't know." Fang Qing shook her head, as if she didn't know what to ask, "Where is my great-grandmother?"
"Just wait." Lin Ji didn't say much when he saw this, but secretly thought that things were getting weirder and weirder.
There were only three of them at this table, so Lin Ji was happy and relaxed. He picked up the pastry on the table and took a bite. He thought it was good, so he put the plate of pastry in front of him.
"I can give each of you a piece, and the rest is mine."
As he spoke, Lin Ji found that Beishuang seemed a little absent-minded.
"What's wrong?"
Beishang did not speak, but silently looked at the front of the garden, at the main table of the banquet.
Lin Ji followed her gaze and soon saw a thin old man looking at him expressionlessly.
Before Lin Ji could react, the old man stood up and walked towards them.
The strange thing is that when the old man stood up, the originally noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet. Almost everyone's eyes fell on the old man, and they followed the old man to Lin Ji's table little by little. .
After coming closer, the old man's eyes became colder and he stared at Beishuang.
And Beishuang didn't know when, his forehead was already covered with fine sweat.
She subconsciously stood up and bowed.
"Disciple...disciple Beishang, I have met the second elder."
Hearing Beishuang's words, Lin Ji realized that this old man was Xi Yushan, the second elder of the Holy Fire Sect.
"You should be in Yunzhou at this time, why do you appear in Jingchuan?" Xi Yushan asked in a cold tone.
"Disciple...disciple..."
Lin Ji on the side sighed slightly when he saw Beishuang was in such a bad state.
With a wave of his hand, a stream of spiritual energy brushed around Beishuang, calming her down.
Afterwards, Lin Ji looked at Xiyu Mountain and did not get up. He just cupped his hands in a symbolic gesture.
"It was Lin who was coming to Jingchuan and didn't know the way. He happened to meet Miss Beishuang, so he asked her to show him the way."
Hearing this, Xiyushan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Ji.
"Hmph, do you dare to let the saint of my religion lead the way? Who do you dare to ask my friend?"
"Supervisor Tiansi, Lin Ji." Lin Ji responded softly.
After the words fell, Xiyushan's boy's eyes suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously took two steps back to be on guard, but then stood still suddenly.
"It turns out it was Lin Tianguan in person." Xiyushan suddenly realized, "No wonder Beishang is following you and wants to teach those Yuanshen monks sent to Yunzhou...?"
"Everyone who touched Lin died. Those who didn't touch him are probably not far away from death."
"Fellow Taoist, do you know that this far north is the territory of our Holy Fire Sect? If you, the eagle dog of Great Qin, dare to be so rampant in the far north, aren't you afraid that you will not be able to return to Kyushu?"
This was already a naked threat.
….
Many guests present already knew Lin Ji's identity and understood that the other party was also a senior in the Taoist realm.
At this moment, many people are already making calculations in their minds, thinking that if these two Taoist seniors really fight, they must quickly grease the soles of their feet to avoid being affected.
Lin Ji laughed out loud.
"Lin can come and leave whenever he wants. Can you take care of that?"
Hearing this, Xiyushan's face turned cold, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Ji for a long time, and finally snorted.
"Beishuang, follow me."
Xiyushan turned around and left.
But as soon as he took two steps, he frowned and turned back.
Then, he saw Lin Ji put his hand on Beishang's arm.
"Fellow Daoist Xi, Miss Beishuang is Lin's guest. You want to take her away with just one word. Are you not looking down upon Lin too much?"
Seeing this, Xi Yushan's eyes flickered back and forth between Beishang and Lin Ji, but in the end he sneered, stopped talking, and quickly returned to the main table.
When Xiyu Mountain was far away and no longer here, Beishang let out a long sigh of relief.
"Huh, you scared me to death." Beishang looked at Lin Ji with some fear, "Thanks to you, otherwise if I followed the second elder back this time, I might not end up well."
Lin Ji waved his hands indifferently, picked up another piece of cake and threw it into his mouth, and then asked: "What, these two elders are very powerful in the Holy Fire Sect?"
"In charge of punishment, it was he who came up with the plan to attack Yunzhou. Now this plan has died in my hands. Even if I know it is not my fault, if I really go back with him, I will definitely shed a layer of skin."
"You are quite rebellious." Lin Ji said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lin is quite famous now. If you stay with me, he won't dare to do anything to you."
Beishang nodded heavily and subconsciously moved the stool closer to Lin Ji.
Just as the two of them were whispering, on the other side, the banquet had officially begun.
It happened to be Wen Renjie who had just welcomed them in. He stood up from the main seat.
"My aunt is old and doesn't like to be lively on weekdays. The banquet is our own initiative as a junior, so she can't come out to say thank you... This banquet is said to be a birthday celebration, but in fact it is also for me and Jingchuan. There are more monks coming and going in the city, so you don’t have to worry about it, just get drunk and rest."
After the words fell, Wen Renjie picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Everyone, please."
"Hahaha, I heard that the master is so polite!"
"That's the reason. We, the monks in Jingchuan City, need to have more contact with each other!"
"Come on, drink!"
The scene suddenly became lively.
There were no rules at the banquet, and many guests started walking around holding wine glasses.
But no one dared to come to Lin Ji's table in the corner to propose a toast. A Taoist monk was still somewhat intimidating.
And Lin Ji was also happy to be quiet.
After a while, Wen Renjie finally came to Lin Ji's table with a wine glass in his hand after dealing with it for a long time.
He picked up the wine jug on the table and filled his glass, but still toasted to Fang Qing first, drank it all, then filled it again and looked at Lin Ji.
"This cup is for me, Senior Lin, and I would like to thank you for escorting her to Jingchuan City."
Wen Renjie hesitated on calling Fang Qing, but in the end he just used "her" in an ambiguous way.
Lin Ji heard the weirdness, but didn't say anything and drank in return.
After Wen Renjie left, he looked at Fang Qing.
"Girl."
"Um?"
"Still can't remember anything?"
"Yeah." Fang Qing shook her head.
"Just remember that I am your Grandpa Lin!"
Lonely I walk alone
