Lin Yuan fed the mobility-challenged Mo Qingcheng to drink some soup and medicine while raising his ears, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two. However, the table was too big and their voices were too quiet, so Lin Yuan had to give up. Thoughts, concentrate on feeding the medicine.
On the other side of the table, Shangguan Linshuang noticed the visitor next to her, but her eyes did not move away. She was still looking at the two people opposite who looked like lovers, but she asked: "Why is the old gentleman looking for a concubine? "
The old man turned his back to Lin Yuan and the others, tilted his head and looked at the woman beside him, and said: "There is nothing important, I am just curious, where did Miss Shangguan learn the two steps?"
Shangguan Linshuang gave a sweet smile, she leaned back on the chair, turned her gaze to the old man's profile, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin is trying to find out my trump card, how do you think it's not important?"
The old man was not surprised when she said his last name easily. After all, this charming woman controlled the entire Falling Immortal Tower, and it was only a matter of a few steps to get some information. He said: "Then let me change the question. There are six steps for immortals, gods, humans, beasts, monsters, and demons. The girl previously performed the two steps of humans and immortals. So, can the girl know the other four steps?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Shangguan Linshuang's eyes. Although it flashed past, the old man still caught it.
"Sir, your vision is indeed very broad. You can actually see through the magic techniques used by me at a glance. You are indeed right. The first step is 'disturbing the mind' for people, the second step 'disturbing the immortal' is for immortals, and as for the other Four steps... According to what you see, sir, will my body be correct?" Throwing the question back to the old man, Shangguan Linshuang crossed his hands in front of him with a sweet smile on his face.
The old man was not annoyed. He smiled rarely, turned around to face the woman, and said softly: "It depends on whether the girl's surname is Shangguan, or her surname is only Zhuo."
These words made Shangguan Linshuang's expression change drastically. This woman has maintained a charming posture from the beginning. Now because of the old man's words, she finally changed her expression and turned to a solemn face, full of panic.
Lin Yuan also happened to have a panoramic view of the woman's changes. He was very curious as to what the old man said to make such a charming girl show such a look. As for the old man, he already got the answer he wanted.
"About seven years ago, news came to all the Fallen Immortal Towers in the Northern Jin Dynasty that the head of the family died suddenly, and his successor was his adopted daughter Shangguan Linshuang. But for some reason, you disappeared, so the successor became Your brother, Shangguan Qi."
"About half a year after your disappearance, you suddenly appeared and broke into the headquarters of the Falling Immortal Tower. You killed your brother in public and got rid of his confidants. The next day, the Owner of the Falling Immortal Tower changed hands, and your name as Shangguan Linshuang became known. It spread throughout the Northern Jin Dynasty. No one dared to provoke the Fallen Immortal Tower, and with the addition of you, a 'cruel' woman, the power of the Fallen Immortal Tower was expanding faster and faster, and even the royal family was afraid of it. Three points.”
The old man suddenly changed the topic and talked about this matter. He pressed forward step by step, making the face of the woman beside him become increasingly ugly.
But the old man didn't care. He continued: "There are too many strange things in this. Miss Shangguan, can you answer some questions for me?"
The two of them were silent for a while, and it was unclear whether Shangguan Linshuang was laughing out of anger, but she lowered her head and smiled wildly under the old man's gaze, and kept applauding with both hands.
When she raised her head again, her face returned to its original charming look.
Shangguan Linshuang gradually stopped smiling, but still maintained a meaningful smile. Her voice suddenly amplified a lot, allowing Lin Yuan opposite to hear it clearly.
"You are worthy of being an 'important minister' who has retired from the court! Even though he lives in a remote place, he still knows about many changes in the Northern Jin Dynasty. This little girl is really admired!" For some reason, Shangguan Linshuang said this, She deliberately emphasized the word "important minister".
After saying this, Shangguan Linshuang waved his slender hand, signaling the old man to return and not give him a chance to speak again.
The old man's expression changed slightly. After he turned around, he specifically observed Lin Yuan's condition. When he saw his slightly confused face, the old man chuckled to himself and quickly returned to his seat.
The smokeless war between the two ended here, and it is not known who won.
Seeing the old man smiling and shaking his head and walking back, Lin Yuan just put down the decoction in his hand. He asked: "Old man, what are you whispering to me? Are you teasing someone because they look pretty?"
Lin Yuan's joke made the old man look at him coldly.
Shangguan Linshuang patted the table and said, "Okay, it's time to eat. If you wait any longer, it will get cold."
The rightful owner has spoken, how can the guests disobey him? Mo Qingcheng just woke up completely and was a little hungry.
For the next time, everyone had no other topics to talk about except how the dishes on the dinner table were.
However, Lin Yuan also wanted to be beaten, and he said: "This dish looks good, but it is only so small on such a big plate. I don't like it and it is not as good as the food cooked by my Uncle Wu."
Shangguan Linshuang was not angry at such embarrassing words. He just smiled and said when he would go to Lin Mansion to try it out.
After everyone finished eating, Shangguan Linshuang wiped her seductive red lips elegantly. She glanced at the shopkeeper who came in midway. The fat middle-aged man understood and placed a wooden plate in front of Lin Yuan. .
Out of curiosity, Lin Yuan looked over and saw two deeds arranged on top. He picked up one and handed it to Mo Qingcheng, while he took the other in his hand and looked at it.
After Lin Yuan finished reading, he pretended to be calm and put it back. When Mo Qingcheng also put it back, Lin Yuan used his skill to push the wooden plate and it just slipped in front of the old man.
After doing all this, Lin Yuan turned to look at the girl beside him and said, "This is the contract for Liu Mansion to hire a killer."
Understanding what Lin Yuan meant, Mo Qingcheng also turned around and said, "That one is from Lei Mansion..."
Just in time, it happened to meet what Lin Weiyang said that night.
Lin Yuan nodded and straightened his body. He looked at the woman opposite with a smile and asked, "I wonder what Miss Shangguan means by doing this?"
"It's nothing. Mr. Lin came here today to try to trick this matter out. Instead of dealing with you, why don't I just hand it over to you directly, which can be regarded as a favor to your father." Shangguan Linshuang played with his long hair with his fingers. Make jokes.
"My father is kind to you?" Lin Yuan frowned. He pointed at the contract in the old man's hand and asked, "Since he is kind to you, why did you make this contract with them and send out the killer?" ?”
When questioned by Lin Yuan, Shangguan Linshuang closed her eyes and said softly: "This deed... was not signed by me."
"Not you?" Lin Yuan slapped the table angrily and stood up. Just when he was about to scare the woman, the old man spoke.
"Wild boy, what she said should be true." The old man put down the deed in his hand and looked at Lin Yuan. Under the latter's puzzled eyes, he continued: "This should be signed during the time Miss Shangguan disappeared. It came down, so it should be an agreement reached between Shangguan Qi and the two of them."
"That's true." Shangguan Linshuang said.
"After I took control of Fallen Immortal Tower, I did not change its operating system. After a killer is hired, the deed will remain in the hands of the person who takes over the task and will not be filed until one year after the expiration. About two years ago, I It was only by accident that I found one of these. I originally wanted to go find the killers back then and ask about the employer's requirements. Unfortunately, most of them were killed. Even those who were still alive were washed up in golden basins. , Anonymous, the Fallen Immortal Tower has promised that if they disarm and return to their fields one day, then we will not disturb them in the slightest."
Lin Yuan knew very little about Falling Immortal Tower, so he had no choice but to look at the old man for answers.
But before the old man could speak, Mo Qingcheng beside him tugged on Lin Yuan's sleeves and motioned for him to lean down.
Lin Yuan did as he was told, but when he got close to Mo Qingcheng, he smelled the refreshing fragrance again, and couldn't help but think of the fragrant scene just now, but now, it was too late for him to escape.
Mo Qingcheng covered her mouth with one hand and leaned against Lin Yuan's ear, saying softly: "It's true! As intelligence dealers in Zhuoxianlou, they will naturally find ways to protect their intelligence, and they are more strict about hiring killers. I heard My family has talked about this matter, saying that it is the employer’s demand, and only the leader who takes over the task knows about it, and it will not be written in the deed.”
After Lin Yuan listened, he stared at the girl next to him with a strange expression. Although he was young, she was simply a "think tank".
After reaching out and rubbing the girl's head a few times, Lin Yuan looked at Shangguan Linshuang opposite him again. He cupped his fists and said, "I wrongly blamed Miss Shangguan. I don't know, can I take these two deeds with me?"
Shangguan Linshuang waved his hand casually and said, "It doesn't matter, just take it."
After the food was eaten and the matter was over, Lin Yuan had no reason to stay here anymore. He turned to look at Mo Qingcheng and asked, "How is it? Are you feeling better?"
Mo Qingcheng shook her head slightly, indicating that nothing happened, and then stood up together.
The old man also knew the current affairs. After folding the two deeds, he came to Lin Yuan and stuffed the deeds into Lin Yuan's arms with his own hands.
Seeing that the three of them were about to leave, Shangguan Linshuang didn't hold back much. She still sat in the chair and stared at Lin Yuan's face.
After packing up his clothes, Lin Yuan bowed solemnly to Shangguan Linshuang across the table. He said loudly: "Lin Yuan thanked Miss Shangguan for what happened today! If there is someone from my Lin family who can help me in Beiliang in the future, Shangguan Miss, just speak up!"
Logically speaking, when Lin Yuan thanked Shangguan Linshuang, he would have exchanged a few words with her, but now she had taken off her disguise, stared at Lin Yuan expressionlessly, and said, "You and your father, you and your father are very different in appearance. No resemblance..."
These words made Lin Yuan's heart tighten. He did not raise his body for a long time, but still maintained the posture of thanking him.
"But your personalities are exactly the same. I hope you can inherit your father's 'chivalrous spirit' in the future, and don't take detours and let him worry and worry."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when Shangguan Linshuang said this. He raised his body and just saw Shangguan Linshuang getting up, so he said, "Thank you, Miss Shangguan, for your advice!"
When Shangguan Linshuang heard this, she smiled again, but it was not the charming smile at the beginning. This time her smile was gentle and elegant. She could not tell that she was the leader of a huge terrorist organization, but more like a person. Just like the eldest lady in the boudoir.
Lin Yuan couldn't tell for a while which one was the real Shangguan Linshuang.
It was rumored by outsiders that Shangguan Linshuang was ruthless and vicious, taking human lives as a common occurrence. No one has seen his true face, but there is a saying that he has a thousand faces.
But after seeing him in person today, Lin Yuan felt that they were all wrong.
Therefore, you can only listen to rumors in the world for fun. If you want to understand someone, you need to meet them in person.
Shangguan Linshuang stood up at this moment. She slowly returned to her previous charming attitude, but there was always a ray of clarity between her eyebrows that never dissipated. She waved her hand slightly and said, "Go ahead and remember not to tell anyone about my appearance."
Before Lin Yuan had time to agree, Shangguan Linshuang smiled sweetly and said: "Of course, there is no point in telling me. Who knows which mask of mine you saw today."
As soon as the voice fell, Shangguan Linshuang turned around gracefully and said: "Shopkeeper Nian, see the guests off..."
For Lin Yuan, one must not neglect the conduct and the etiquette. Even if the master has turned around, he still has to fulfill the etiquette.
When the bent waist straightened up, Lin Yuan saw the back of the woman slowly walking upstairs. For some reason, he felt that this woman was somewhat similar to Lin Weiyang. They both hid their true selves under masks and always pretended to be Strong side.
Just when Lin Yuan was lost in thought, a dissatisfied snort came into Lin Yuan's ears. He knew who it was without even thinking about it, but now Lin Yuan would think of it whenever he saw Mo Qingcheng's face. All kinds of things just now.
Fortunately, Mo Qingcheng didn't seem to remember what happened, otherwise Lin Yuanke would really not know what to do.
Scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, Lin Yuan did not dare to look at Mo Qingcheng, so he had to raise his head and laugh.
Shopkeeper Nian, who was already a man, could not see Lin Yuan's situation. Although he didn't know what was going on, he just had to help this man out.
The fat shopkeeper moved in front of the three of them, bent down and stretched out his arms.
"Everyone, please!"
After shopkeeper Nian finished speaking, Lin Yuan looked at him gratefully and hurriedly walked towards the door.
Mo Qingcheng pursed her lips and followed behind. Only the old man and Shopkeeper Nian looked at each other and smiled.
"It's great to be young!" The old man sighed and stepped forward.
Just when Lin Yuan was about to walk out of the door, Shangguan Linshuang stopped on the stairs behind him.
Looking at the backs of the boy and the girl, she waited until everyone had left, then waved her hand and closed the door tightly.
Standing on the steps, she closed her eyes tightly and held back the tears that came to her eyes.
"Tingfeng! Come out!" A slightly crying voice sounded, calling a black figure.
"Master, what's the matter?" This voice was very unpleasant.
"I have to go back to my headquarters. When I'm not in Beiliang, please take care of this child. If his life is threatened..."
Before Shangguan could finish his words, the figure beside her immediately knelt down on one knee and raised his hands into fists above his head.
"Kill without mercy!" The unpleasant voice echoed in Falling Immortal Tower.
After Shangguan Linshuang smiled with satisfaction, he held up his skirt and walked upstairs.
The black shadow beside her disappeared in an instant...
