The girl who appeared behind her was about 15 or 6 years old.
She has pale pink eyes, long pink twin tails, and wears a gorgeous pale pink dress and small leather shoes. Even her cute little face is dyed pale pink because of anger.
"I finally caught you, you nasty thief! How dare you make this lady so embarrassed!"
She caught up with her angrily and shouted to Xiao Lin: "Although I don't know how you stole my wallet, I will definitely send you to the security office and let the guards arrest you! I tell you, You’re done!”
Anyone who is suddenly scolded will not be in a good mood, especially if they are misunderstood.
But Xiaolin knew that he couldn't say anything at this time.
The more anxious you are to explain, the more likely it is that the other person will think that she is guilty, which will fuel her anger even more.
The best way is to let the girl finish venting and wait for her brain to calm down.
Xiaolin didn't move.
After she ran out of energy from scolding, she said lightly: "Are you done?"
"Haha?! You thief..."
"Don't call me a thief. It's rude, don't you know? And what evidence do you have that I am a thief?"
Xiao Lin's reply made the girl choke.
Although she felt very unhappy, she could not find a reason to refute.
He could only stare at Xiao Lin angrily.
"I got this money bag from an old lady who has handicapped legs and eyes... Oh, it seems you have also reacted."
Seeing her sudden change in expression, Xiao Lin couldn't help but chuckle, slightly mockingly.
"How, how could it be possible? I obviously had good intentions to help her..." The girl seemed to be in disbelief that her kindness was being taken advantage of.
After a moment she came back to her senses, and said to Xiao Lin a little arrogantly: "Then you should return the wallet to me, that is my wallet!"
"Yours? Do you have any evidence?"
"There are 9 gold and 15 silver in the wallet. If you don't believe it, you can open it and take a look."
She seemed sure of how much money was inside.
Xiao Lin opened his pocket and counted it roughly, and it was indeed the same as what she said.
Not only that, there are a lot of copper coins at the bottom, which is just a lot more money.
"Hey——, it's true."
"I'm right! Does this prove that the wallet is mine...wait, what are you doing?!"
In the girl's disbelieving eyes, Xiao Lin took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it calmly into his pocket.
"Well, not anymore."
"Aha?!"
"Now it's 8 gold and 15 silver. The money here doesn't match what you said."
The smile on Xiao Lin's face became even bigger.
Indiscriminate slander, do you really think you are easy to bully?
How can it be done without making things difficult?
"You can guess how much money you have, and you might just be lucky and guess it right. I won't give it back to you without key proof."
"You guy...!"
The girl gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Lin.
She had never seen such a rogue person, but she couldn't do anything about him. At one point, she thought, "I really want to bombard him!" 'A terrible thought.
But it doesn’t matter if I don’t get the money back.
The girl pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and whispered reluctantly: "My name, Ma Yin, is sewn on the inner wall of the wallet."
When I opened the money bag, I found that there were indeed two small words sewn on the inner wall.
It was obviously the first time Xiao Lin saw this kind of writing, but he somehow knew what it was.
——Ma Yin.
It seems that the money bag does belong to her.
He took out the gold coins from his pocket and threw them to her along with the money bag.
"Huh?"
Ma Yin was surprised, and she didn't seem to expect that Xiaolin returned the money to her after just making things difficult for a little bit.
"Do not want?"
"How can it be!"
Ma Yin tightly covered her money bag, fearing that it would be stolen again.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but chuckle.
Ma Yin knew that she was making a fool of herself, but she still pretended to pull up her clothes and act like a noble lady.
"Thank you anyway."
"You're welcome. If you could calm down your temper a little, I think we would get along more friendly."
Xiao Lin provoked her a little, which was considered a small revenge.
"you……!"
Ma Yin was furious, but she had just suffered a loss and could only say dullly: "I understand, thank you for your advice."
"But if you have to thank me, why not treat me to a meal. I happen to be hungry."
Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows, as if hinting at Ma Yin.
"Hmph, it's just a treat, no problem!"
Ma Yin was not stingy and agreed generously.
——In a certain tavern——
"Let's order first."
The three of them sat in the corner, ordered some food, and then started talking.
Most of the time, Xiaolin was asking and Ma Yin was talking.
According to intelligence, this country is an ancient country with a thousand-year civilization and is also the most powerful country in the world.
The supreme ruler of the country is the emperor, and the power structure is divided into civilian officials who manage politics and generals who manage military affairs. The head of the civil officials is the minister, and the head of the military generals is the general.
The city where Xiaolin is currently located is the capital of the empire, where the emperor and ministers reside.
Although it was the center of the empire, it was in a state of decay and people's lives were very difficult.
There are rumors that the main culprit who makes people live in poverty is the emperor's ministers who are manipulating the emperor behind the scenes.
The expression on Ma Yin's gritted teeth when she mentioned the minister seemed to have some deep hatred for him.
But this is just background information.
What worries Xiaolin the most is what Ma Yin said, called the [Teigu].
It is said that a thousand years ago, in order to maintain a long-term rule, the founding emperor used the empire's huge financial resources and power to summon the most senior craftsmen from all over the world, using legendary super dangerous species as materials, and adding rare materials such as Ohri steel. Using metal and a large number of long-lost secret techniques, forty-eight irreproducible weapons were developed, and they were collectively called Teigu.
The Teigu, the Empire, the Imperial Capital, the Minister, Mayin, and the darkness hidden in the prosperity...
Xiao Lin knew which world he had come to.
"You don't even know such a common thing?!" Ma Yin said with a thirsty mouth. After drinking a large glass of water, she couldn't help but complain: "It's unbelievable. Are you a country boy from somewhere? ?”
"Ah, I am indeed a country boy."
Xiao Lin did not deny it, "I came out of the village just because I wanted to get ahead in the imperial capital."
"Redneck?"
Ma Yin looked at him strangely, and then at Liu Zi, who was wearing a dress even more gorgeous than hers.
But everyone has their own secrets, so she didn't ask further.
When she saw Liu Zi sitting quietly in her seat without saying a word, she took the initiative and said politely: "Don't the dishes ordered not meet this lady's preferences? Why not let her order again."
"No, no need."
Xiao Lin took the initiative to decline her kindness and said, "She doesn't need to eat, or even drink water or sleep."
"Huh? Who doesn't need to eat, drink, and sleep...wait a minute!"
Ma Yin was about to curse but suddenly stopped. She thought of Xiaolin's strong reaction when he heard the Teigu, and seemed to realize something.
"Could it be that she is... Teigu?"
"……Um."
Under Ma Yin's nervous and expectant eyes, Xiaolin nodded slowly after a moment of silence.
Is it really a Teigu?
Ma Yin's eyes widened in excitement. She unexpectedly encountered a wild Teigu user!
As we all know, Teigu are very powerful.
If they could get one more Teigu user, they would be more confident in getting rid of the ministers and overthrowing the corrupt rule of the empire!
Never let go of any Teigu user!
Ma Yin remembered her boss's words, coughed slightly and said to Xiao Lin: "I remember you said that you are from the country, and you just want to make a difference when you come out of the village?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Do you need my help? Just think of it as a thank you gift for helping me find my wallet."
"Well..."
"Don't be a mother-in-law!"
Seeing Xiao Lin's hesitation, Ma Yin slammed the table and said angrily: "I rarely thank other people. Since I said that I want to help, just accept it honestly! Otherwise, you will start from a small soldier and want to be a soldier." How much time does it take to be a captain or a general? In the Imperial Capital, connections are the most important!"
"Does promotion happen quickly only if you have connections?"
"That's right!"
"...Okay, I accept it."
Seeing Xiaolin accepting her help, Ma Yin felt secretly happy.
——Took the bait!
