On the roof of Lin Weiyang's boudoir, there was a figure squatting on it.
Now that everything has been noticed, there is no need to hide it anymore, so he stood up and jumped forward, and landed firmly in the darkness in front of the door. When he landed, not even the water on the ground was stirred up. .
When he turned around, Lin Yuan and Lin Weiyang just walked out of the room and stood under the eaves to confront him.
With the faint firelight emitting from the house, only the completely dark figures could be seen.
"Young Master has such keen insight. May I ask when you noticed that I was up there?"
This person's voice was really ugly, and even men and women couldn't tell the difference.
Lin Yuan did not answer in a hurry. He first leaned on the door frame and looked at the figure in front of him. After finding that he was not very comfortable, he turned to lean on Lin Weiyang, and then said: "I didn't know before, but you came out I didn’t know it.”
As soon as these words came out, even Lin Weiyang was dumbfounded. She was originally curious about how Lin Yuan knew that there was someone on the roof. After all, neither she nor Lin Sanli noticed it at all, but it was Lin Yuan who had no cultivation. Feel it first.
Regarding feelings, Lin Yuan is cheating again.
The figure in the rain didn't know what to say for a while. After the silence, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What a good Mr. Lin, aren't you afraid that no one will come tonight and make a joke?"
Lin Yuan responded: "You stole the letter before I even came down from the mountain and handed it over to the unrelated Lord Lei. You went through so much trouble, didn't you just want me to get the letter? Since there is a deviation now, then I’m sure you won’t find it troublesome to steal again.”
"Nowadays, everyone in Beiliang Region knows that this letter is worth one hundred thousand jade, which means that it is not safe for you to give it to anyone."
"If you don't come tonight, all your previous efforts will be in vain."
"So, you will definitely come!"
Lin Yuan said slowly, feeling a little cold, so he leaned a little closer to Lin Weiyang's body.
Lin Weiyang hugged Lin Yuan sideways and asked, "Is that why you asked me to wake you up?"
Lin Yuan nodded towards his sister and then asked:
"There is one thing I haven't figured out yet. I wonder if you can help me clear it up?"
"Young master, it's okay to say it." The figure in the rain said.
Wrapping his clothes a little tighter, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and said: "The four forces in Beiliang Region are basically related to my father's death. I really can't figure out who will help me secretly. .”
Such a straightforward question caused the man to fall into deep thought again. He knew that Lin Yuan was trying to trick him and wanted to see who the power behind him was.
"Master Xiao Lin will know about this issue in two days, so there is no rush." He replied.
Lin Yuan was not very satisfied with this answer. His patience was running out, so he said, "I don't want to say it, so I won't frame Lei Ming."
After all, so far, only Lei Ming has called him "Master Xiaolin". If he tries to hide it, does he think he is a fool?
The figure in the rain also saw Lin Yuan's anger. He knew that he could not continue to waste it, so he flicked his hand and a black shadow quickly attacked the two people in front of the door.
Seeing this, Lin Weiyang raised her slender hand and firmly caught the folded letter with only two fingers.
"This is what you want. Now it returns to its original owner." The man said and turned around, seemingly ready to leave.
When a guest wants to leave, how can the host not stay?
Lin Yuan's eyes were fixed on the arm he had just touched, and he said: "You came here on a rainy night to give gifts. If I let you leave like this, wouldn't it be a loss of hospitality?"
After a chuckle, the figure didn't look back and said, "Young Master, there's no need to bother. It's already late at night, so it's best to go home."
After saying that, he stood up directly and jumped to a roof. There was no sound during the whole process.
Lin Yuan, who was standing on the same spot, was not in a hurry, and just shouted to the retreating figure: "Why don't you stay for a midnight snack?"
If there is no response to this sentence, the person has gone far.
Lin Weiyang looked down at Lin Yuan in her arms. She didn't believe that this little brother would give up, so she asked, "Do you want to chase him?"
Who would have thought that Lin Yuan actually raised his head with a smile and said, "No rush, just put your things away before setting off."
After the two of them hid the letter, Lin Yuan hurriedly pulled Lin Weiyang out and ran out, causing Lin Weiyang to open the umbrella without even coming.
"Aren't you in a hurry? Why are you running so fast now? You can't catch up." Lin Weiyang asked.
"Don't be in a hurry to chase him. Now, I'm going to the kitchen. I'm hungry!"
"..."
Just as the two of them were running towards the kitchen, the figure had already run under the high wall of the Lin Mansion. He looked back and found that no one was chasing him, which was beyond his expectation.
However, his mission has been completed tonight, and it is business to escape as soon as possible.
Then he jumped high and landed directly outside the Lin Mansion.
"Jumping over walls in the middle of the night is not a good habit."
Just before the figure landed, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from the corner.
The man secretly thought that something was wrong, and he was about to leave with his feet touching the ground.
The voice sounded again.
"Waterbound!"
In an instant, the rainwater under the figure's feet rose from the ground and weaved into water ropes in the air, binding the man's wrists, ankles and waist respectively. Just when he could not move, the raindrops falling around him also began to fall. Become slow.
The raindrops gradually stopped in the air, and they began to rotate around the bound figure in the middle. Gradually, a water cage as tall as a man appeared, trapping him in it.
The man had no choice but to give in. He praised in a low voice "a good trick" and then turned to look at the place where the sound came from.
A middle-aged man holding an umbrella came out. He said with a smile: "Well, after all, I tricked that wild boy, so I'll just treat him as a favor and save him from using this as an argument in the future."
This person is the old man who left earlier.
Looking at the approaching middle-aged man, the figure in the cage did not struggle, and he said: "I was careless. I thought Lin Yuan was just too lazy to chase. Unexpectedly, there is a master hidden here, or I will call you 'Monster' is more appropriate."
When he said the word "demon", he curiously glanced around the water rope and cage that trapped him.
The old man was not angry at being called a "demon". He stopped and sighed: "I haven't heard this title for a long time."
Seeing the old man stopped three feet away, the man asked, "Why don't you come and see who I am?"
The old man laughed and said, "I don't care. I'm arresting you just to help that kid. Leave the rest to him. If you'd like to take the trouble, just wait with me for that kid to come over."
Staring at the old man's face in the darkness, the figure trapped in the cage asked: "When did a person like you appear in Beiliang Territory?"
The old man didn't answer, just stayed where he was quietly.
Since they didn't want to care, there was no need to ask anymore, so the two of them just stared at each other, waiting for the protagonist to appear.
About half an hour passed, and finally there was the sound of unhurried footsteps in the distance.
The old man shouted without looking back, "Can't you go faster?"
The voice from a distance responded: "Why are you so anxious? You are here."
"Hey! This wild boy." The old man said to himself.
When Lin Yuan and Lin Weiyang came over, the old man turned sideways and looked at Lin Yuan dissatisfied.
This kid actually went to the kitchen to get a plate of snacks to eat, and even asked his sister to hold an umbrella. He really knew how to enjoy it!
Lin Yuan walked to the old man's side. He stretched his neck and looked at the water prison in front of him, then gave the old man a thumbs up.
On the other hand, it was Lin Weiyang. When she saw it, her eyebrows almost knitted together and she asked suspiciously: "Five Spirit Magic?"
The old man just chuckled and didn't answer.
"Mr. Lin! Do you know what methods the gentleman next to you uses!" the man in the cage shouted.
Lin Yuan nodded and replied: "I know, it's a very useful method!"
After he finished speaking, he hit the old man's chest with his elbow and said with a smile: "Hey, how about you teach me some other time?"
"Just die!" the old man said angrily.
Seeing the two of them joking and playing around, Lin Weiyang felt helpless that his little brother was so close to the "demon". He would definitely send someone to find out the details of this person tomorrow.
"Okay, stop making trouble, the business hasn't been taken care of yet."
Lin Weiyang interrupted Lin Yuan.
But he turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, these people are not here yet, how can we try the prisoner?"
Lin Weiyang watched Lin Yuan keep pouting, and without thinking, she turned around her spirit energy. With a wave of her free hand, dozens of wind blades rushed towards the other end of the street.
"boom!"
Violent collisions occurred one after another, and a lot of rainwater was blasted from the darkness at the other end of the street. Lin Weiyang formed a visible wind wall in front of the three of them, thus protecting them from the rainwater.
"Master Lei, it would be boring to hide!"
When the flying rain cleared, Lin Yuan put his hands behind his hands and shouted.
At the other end of the street, the sound of thunder also sounded.
"Good evening, Mr. Xiao Lin!"
Two figures gradually approached, Lei Ming walking in front, and behind him was the same guard from the daytime. Neither of them held an umbrella, relying solely on their spiritual energy to deflect the raindrops.
"How did you know I was coming?" Lei Ming and the others also stopped three feet away from the water cage.
"Master Lei, you let him steal it so easily. Where will you put your face in the future?"
What Lin Yuan meant was that he was a fox. No matter what you were pretending to be, didn't you do it on purpose?
Lei Ming said nothing, but looked at Lin Yuan with an evil smile.
Feeling a chill running down his back as he stared at him, Lin Yuan said, "Since you are all here, let's see this person's true face."
After saying that, Lin Yuan turned his attention to the old man again.
"It's really unlucky that I got to know you..." The old man muttered to himself, but he still snapped his fingers, then turned around and left.
As soon as the sound subsided, four small fires were lit out of thin air at the four corners of the water prison, and they were slowly getting bigger.
Looking sideways at the old man who had taken a few steps away, Lin Yuan asked, "Don't you want to stay and take a look?"
Waving his hands casually, the old man said without looking back: "I don't want to get involved in the fights between your families."
Lin Yuan also knew the old man's character, so he didn't stop him. He just handed out the plate in his hand and said, "Eat something?"
Somewhat speechless, the old man turned around angrily. He wanted to take away all the dishes, but when he turned around, he couldn't help but think too much.
The people present, except Lin Yuan, all looked like they had seen a ghost.
When Lin Yuan saw the old man's appearance, he quickly turned around and dropped a lot of snacks in his hand.
I saw that the flames above the water prison were already burning very strongly, illuminating the figures in the water prison below very clearly.
What came into everyone's eyes was a completely dark figure, with only a human appearance but no human appearance at all.
Under the light of the fire, even the water prison and the water rope had their shadows reflected on the ground, but this "person" had no shadow at all.
The shadow on the ground is only a huge cage and the ropes inside, but there is nothing where the ropes are tied!
For a moment, the old man's palms clenched tightly, and the water cage not far away turned into a large net as if ordered, directly tying the figure inside.
"it's useless......"
The figure's unpleasant voice sounded again. He was facing in the direction of Lin Yuan, and a depression suddenly appeared on his dark face, as if... he was smiling?
"Master Lin, I have learned a lesson from you today."
"But you are still too young. Let me give you a final piece of advice. Don't trust others too much. Even blood relatives will do evil things to you. Hey..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally restrained black figure began to look like a puddle of mud, slowly flowing out of the gaps in the water network, and disappearing when it touched the ground.
"Hey! Put out the fire!"
This is the cry of the Thunder Guards.
The old man heard it, shook his head, and whispered, "It's too late."
In just a moment, the figure in the net disappeared, leaving only a burst of his ugly laughter.
The water net and water rope used to restrain him turned into a puddle of water on the ground again.
The old man's face looked a little ugly.
"Wild boy, I'm sorry, I underestimated this person." The old man said.
At this time, Lei Ming and his guards walked over slowly and said, "Are you careless? Or did you do it on purpose?"
Ignoring Lei Ming's provocation, Lin Yuan looked at the old man and asked with an indifferent expression: "Can you tell what the method is?"
On the rare occasion when he saw Lin Yuan being serious, the old man didn't joke and said directly: "It should be the 'transformation'."
"Since he can run away, why did he wait until now to escape?" Lin Yuan continued to ask.
"Because he is waiting for the light of the fire. The 'transformation' technique is to peel off one's own shadow and turn it into an entity. It requires light to cast and retract. He is waiting for the moment to verify his identity. It is too dark here, so there must be a fire. .”
The person who answered Lin Yuan was Lei Ming's guard.
Lin Yuan still didn't look back. He asked the old man with his eyes. When he nodded, Lin Yuan could only chuckle helplessly.
Lei Ming had already walked up to them and said, "Master Xiao Lin, you have never doubted the demon next to you... No, Master, is it possible that this Master did this on purpose?" of?"
Here it comes again. Lin Yuan turned around with a headache, covering his head. He looked at Lei Ming and said bluntly: "You might as well just say that the old man sent you."
Lei Ming stretched and said, "How about Mr. Xiao Lin, is this gift big enough?"
Lin Yuan glared at him, then pointed to the scar on his face and said, "Why didn't you say you still have this gift? It's indeed big enough."
"It's all trivial. We, Mr. Xiao Lin, are very generous, so don't worry about it."
Seeing Lei Ming's shameless remarks, Lin Yuan suddenly felt that he had met his opponent. However, he rolled his eyes and handed out the plate in his hand again. There were only a few pitiful snacks on it.
"No, Master Lei, please invite me."
Lei Ming was not polite, reached for a piece of snack, put it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "When will you give me a thank you gift?"
Lin Yuan smiled narrowly, lowered his chin, and said, "Isn't that what you said?"
Lei Ming's face darkened. He wanted to spit out what was in his mouth, but it was really unsightly, so he snatched the plate from Lin Yuan's hand with a displeased look on his face, turned around and pulled his guard away.
"Hey, Master Lei, remember to bring the plate back to me!" Lin Yuan shouted.
Lei Mingxu was furious. With his mouth full of snacks, he didn't know what he said and disappeared into the dim street.
"Play with me and I'll make you mad..."
Lin Yuan squinted his eyes and said something, then he and Lin Weiyang turned around and looked at the old man with a bad expression.
Reaching out and patting the old man's arm, Lin Yuan comforted him: "Okay, don't think about it, I won't listen to his slander."
Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head silently, sighed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to teach with peace of mind in the future."
What else does Lin Yuan care about? He said: "Qifeng Mountain is within the scope of Lin Mansion. If they dare to mess around, Sister Weiyang is not a vegetarian!"
The old man chuckled. He knew that things were not that simple, but Lin Yuan had enough worries now, and he could not burden this young man anymore.
"Hey, old man, what did you do to me yesterday?" Lin Yuan asked after thinking of this.
"It just messes up your emotions and aggravates your negative thoughts."
After saying that, the old man waved his hands and prepared to go back to his cabin.
Watching the old man leave, Lin Yuan felt a little exhausted. He had just been down the mountain for less than a day and so many things had happened. He didn't know how much trouble he would have in the future.
After all, Lin Yuan is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. Even if he has a good brain, he will still feel bored.
It was annoying, but when Lin Yuan saw his sister's beautiful face, he would always feel better.
"Let's go, sister, go back and see the results of Sanli!"
Lin Yuan took Lin Weiyang and walked back to Lin Mansion...
In a room in Beiliangyu, there was a man sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was surrounded by lights, but there was no trace of him on the wall.
After a while, the window of this room was opened inexplicably. The breeze blew the oil lamps all over the floor, and a black shadow crawled in against the wall.
It quickly climbed behind the man sitting cross-legged on the ground, and then a huge black shadow appeared on the wall. It continued to shrink and change, and finally turned into a shadow on the wall that swayed with the lights.
The people on the ground opened their eyes.
"Master, the matter is settled..."
