Volume 16: The Wheel of Reincarnation Chapter 19: The Rivers and Lakes Are Like Songs (Part 2)
After hearing the word "father", the crowd that had dispersed heaved a sigh of relief and returned to their original state of coming and going. Moreover, this black tower-like giant seemed to have some reputation. Those who seemed to have some ability in the crowd bowed to him and then disappeared in the crowd.
The reason why I said that she had some abilities was because Li Lin couldn't tell the difference between the abilities of the people here. They were all people that could be killed by a single blow from him without magic power. Li Lin was too lazy to tell which of these noobs was weaker. The strong man in the black tower looked at Li Lin with a cautious expression and dragged Li Linxia behind him. Li Lin didn't want to explain anything, but stood there waiting for the mission plot to unfold.
Other things may deceive people, but the mission introduction and results certainly cannot deceive people. Just wait for the plot to .
"Dad, what are you doing? That's my little sister?"
"Nonsense. I'll deal with you when I get back."
After whispering a reprimand to Li Linxia, who looked aggrieved, the strong man like an iron tower stopped his daughter behind him and looked at Li Lin with a vigilant look.
"Are you the Good Boy in person? I've heard that the Good Boy has a delicate face and looks like a boy, but his martial arts skills and realm are extremely high and terrifying. I guess it must be you, right?"
"…Sorry, please speak in a way I can understand, thank you. Who is Shan Tongzi?"
"Ah? Your Excellency, isn't he?"
The sturdy man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Lin stupidly, as if he couldn't believe that this old martial arts master would turn his face and say no.
That shouldn't be the case. In theory, the positions in the martial arts world are all filled by one person. Every year, a new list is issued and everyone memorizes it. This is all about reputation and face. Few people directly deny it or anything. Even if it's really not true, some people will often admit it directly out of vanity.
But it was strange that this man who had obviously appeared out of nowhere said he didn't know. You have been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, and all you want is fame and fortune. With fame comes fortune, and with fortune comes fame. Judging from my fear like a needle prick, this man who seems to be very easy to talk to is definitely an old monster. But such a straightforward denial made the black tower man a little confused. Could it be that this man fell from the sky?
The rules of the underworld are to flatter each other. Even if you admit your mistake, you still have to introduce yourself sometimes, right? You asked who Shan Tongzi is, and I also want to ask who you are.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Like a slippery loach, Li Linxia slipped out of the strong man's hand. Standing beside Li Lin, who looked helpless, she said unconvincedly:
"She is the little girl I found in the dilapidated temple some time ago. She was stupid and dumb before today, but now she has suddenly become smart. Although she looks like she has lost her memory, she is definitely not a martial arts veteran like Shan Tongzi. Didn't they hold a meeting in Jiashan some time ago?"
"...did it really jump out from between the rocks?"
"You are the one who jumped out from the cracks in the stone. I said I came from another world."
Li Lin couldn't help but roll his eyes at these two stupid people.
What's wrong with people nowadays? Why is it that no one believes the truth? How can a person like me come out of such a low-class world like yours? Even if you bring the strongest person in your world over, I may not be able to beat him with one hand. Where do you get the confidence to say that others jumped out of cracks in rocks? Am I a time traveler?
However, the black tower-like sturdy man was stunned by Li Lin's confident attitude. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just waved his hand at Li Linxia with a weird look on his face, beckoned Li Linxia over, and then turned his back under Li Lin's wooden eyes. The father and daughter seemed to have reached some consensus, and whispered to each other in a very crude way, which was no different from talking face to face:
"This kid... is there something wrong with his brain? Is he suffering from some kind of illness?"
"I don't know. She kept saying that she was from another world, just like what storytellers say. I suspect she might be a secret disciple of some hermit sect, and then her entire family was wiped out by some evil cult. After escaping, she got hit on the head, and her memory seems to be confused . Maybe she got mixed up with the strange stories she read before."
"It shouldn't be. I haven't heard of any sect changes recently. The cult members are running brothels and taverns honestly and earning more than anyone else. They wish the world would be peaceful. If a fight breaks out, they will suffer the most. It's unlikely to be the cult members. It's quite possible that it's the other independent people in the mountains. Those independent people can feed their whole family if they eat one person. Maybe they went crazy and did something cruel without anyone knowing. It's also pitiful."
"Yes, I saw that she was fierce and ruthless when she faced the gray rat. It was obvious that she had the demeanor of a great man. Unfortunately, I can't remember anything."
"This is all good news. It just so happens that if you help them, our Canglang Sword Sect might be able to inherit a batch of secrets. This is all good news. And even if it's just some random person, our Canglang Sword Sect can stop them. We know most of those random immortals. It's impossible for them to jump out of a stone."
"What are you talking about? She's my sister. I treat her like my sister."
"Okay, if you say she is my sister, then she is my sister. Our Canglang Sword Sect doesn't need this position, so we can just accept her as our sister."
“…”
You said you hired me, but did you ask for my opinion?
Listening to the two father and daughter who thought they were communicating in secret and decided their fate with just a few words, Li Lin's mouth twitched, but he still didn't say anything. After all, he really didn't understand the world at all. It was a wise choice to join an organization first and then see the specific situation.
How should I put it? Li Lin suspected that he had really lost his way. The Shangqing Sect obviously had nothing to do with the Jianghu network. If they had to say it was related, it was that they were all Eastern. But there were so many messy Eastern systems, and no one knew what the Shangqing Sect was like. Just from the fact that they cut down mountains and destroyed temples and took over all the laws, the energy there had definitely developed to an unimaginable level. Instead of just masturbating now.
Forget it, just pretend you didn’t hear it.
Seeing the father and daughter turn around with a smile after the discussion, Li Lin felt that his conscience had gradually disappeared. It was really shameful to have to trick a fool in order to complete the task.
