Chapter 54 Free From Worries

"Since you're awake, let's talk." Xiao Lin still didn't turn around, but it was as if he had eyes behind him.

"Who exactly are you, senior? Is he the legendary cultivator?" The immortal smiled bitterly and said with a depressed face.

"Immortal?" Xiao Lin turned around and did not answer the immortal's question, but showed a half-smile on his face.

"Senior, please call me Hua Rongrong." The immortal knew that in the eyes of the person in front of him, he was just an ant-like existence, so he naturally didn't dare to call himself a fairy, but honestly said his name.

Nodding, Xiao Lin said: "I'm very curious, how can you, a mortal body, keep your appearance young?" Xiao Lin didn't beat around the bush, but asked directly.

After a moment of silence, Hua Rongrong spoke up, "I accidentally ate a strange fruit in an ancient cave on the mountain several decades ago. Since then, I have kept the same appearance as before, and it has not changed for decades."

Nodding, Xiao Lin continued to ask, "Are there any more fruits like this?"

Shaking her head, Hua Rongrong said, "After I ate the fruit, the strange plant withered immediately, but there was no second fruit."

"After you ate it, were there any seeds in the fruit?"

"If I am willing to give the seeds of the strange fruit to you, could you spare my life?" Hua Rongrong sighed. She knew very well that the reason she was still alive and not killed by Xiao Shi was probably because the person in front of her had something to ask her. Once she really gave the seeds of the strange fruit to the person in front of her, she would lose her value and might be killed.

Looking at the enchanting woman in front of him, Xiao Lin pondered for a moment and said, "If the seeds you gave me are really useful, I am not afraid to spare your life. I can even restore your power, but I have a condition." Hearing this, Hua Rongrong showed a surprised and happy expression on her face: "Senior, as long as you spare my life, Hua Rongrong will agree to any conditions." "It's very simple. I want you to give up the position of the leader of the Baihua Sect, hide your identity from now on, and protect a few people for me. Of course, I will put some restrictions on you. As long as you have the slightest evil intention, your spirit will be torn apart and die." Xiao Lin was talking about a technique to control the spirit of mortals, which is a relatively low-level soul refining method, and most low-level cultivators can do it. Hearing this, Hua Rongrong's face turned pale, but she knew very well that she had no choice. Moreover, after experiencing this incident, she also had the idea of ​​being tired of the disputes in the martial arts world. She wanted to dominate the martial arts world for her whole life. She had practiced the immortal magic for decades, but in the eyes of the people in front of her, it was not worth mentioning at all. The so-called ambition and hegemony, in the eyes of the real strong, was just a passing cloud.

Thinking of this, Hua Rongrong sighed and said, "The junior is willing to follow the instructions of the senior."

"Okay, after I put down the ban for you, you can leave. Two days later, you will take the seeds to the main hall of Bailianmen."

......

In the main hall of Bailian Hall, there was laughter and joy, and the sound of drinking and playing finger-guessing filled the entire hall.

In the living room of the inner door of Bailian Hall, there were only Xiao Shi and Shangguan Hong, and behind Shangguan Hong stood two young guards. Shangguan Hong's face was pale, and it seemed that he had completely lost the joy of victory, and was replaced by deep worry.

"You said my brother is a cultivator?" Xiao Shi exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

Shangguan Hong nodded and said, "Shitou, I have never told you that the founder of our Bailian Sect is actually a cultivator. I don't know why he came to Huai County to create this foundation. The Bailian Heart Sutra he left behind is not a cultivation technique, but a mysterious skill secret book created by the founder for ordinary people to practice. Originally, our Bailian Sect has been founded for more than 200 years. I have always believed that the so-called cultivators are just words of respect for the founders by later generations. Now that I have seen your brother, I began to understand that the so-called cultivators may really exist."

Hearing this, Xiao Shi also fell into deep thought. Although he is usually straightforward, he is not stupid. Xiao Lin's various performances are indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary mortals. On the Broken Sky Cliff, Xiao Lin passed on his skills in the battle, but in just a cup of tea, he made himself a super master of innate great success. The only person who has such means is probably the legendary "immortal".

"Is my brother really an immortal?" Xiao Shi seemed to still not believe it, and couldn't help but say.

"I'm not an immortal, but just a hardworking cultivator." A voice took over Xiao Shi's words, and then the two of them saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, fair-skinned, smiling young man.

"Xiao Lin?" Xiao Shi's face showed surprise when he heard the voice. He pulled Xiao Lin over and looked left and right for a long time.

"What are you looking at? I can't have an extra head if I look any more." Xiao Lin smiled.

"Junior Shangguan Hong, I greet the senior." Shangguan Hong on the side carefully saluted Xiao Lin and said respectfully.

"Haha, Shangguan Hall Master, there's no need to be polite. If it weren't for your appreciation of my brother, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today. In the end, I have to thank you." Xiao Lin smiled at Shangguan Hong without any airs.

"By the way, Shitou, how are my father and little sister?"

"Don't worry, I'm here, how can I treat them badly? My brother and sister, your father and Xiaozhi all live in a house east of Huai County. I bought that house. I send several hundred taels of silver every month. Don't worry." Xiao Shi said with a smile.

"Let's go home and take a look." Just as he was about to pull Xiao Shi away, Xiao Lin suddenly saw the two guards behind Shangguan Hong. He made a surprised sound, and then a half-smile appeared on his face, and he stopped.

One of the two young guards saw Xiao Lin looking at him, and couldn't help but be shocked. On the cliff of Broken Sky, he saw the young man in front of him pass on his skills in battle, which made Xiao Shi break through to the realm of innate success in one fell swoop, thus severely defeating the immortal. He looked at Xiao Lin who was walking towards him with trepidation, and his face turned pale.

Xiao Lin hadn't noticed this person at first, but with his eyesight, everyone in the room naturally couldn't escape his peripheral vision. He was quite surprised to see that this person was Zhu Chong, the nephew of Zhu Biao, the overlord of the No. 7 mine in Qingshui Lake Mine, the guy who robbed him of eight coins of silver.

Xiao Lin didn't expect that Zhu Chong was actually doing well. In just a few years, he became the personal guard of Shangguan Hong, the head of Bailian Hall. This really surprised him a little, but it was obvious that Zhu Chong didn't know Xiao Lin. He didn't know how many people he had robbed in Qingshui Lake Mine, so how could he still remember the little kid back then.

But Xiao Lin remembered it clearly. He looked at Zhu Chong with a smile, then said lightly: "I don't like this person."

Xiao Lin's words made Zhu Chong's face turn pale instantly, and his face was full of fear. Shangguan Hong's face also changed, but then he regained his composure, while Xiao Shi's face was condensed, and his eyes showed a cold murderous aura. He looked at Zhu Chong and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhu, I will give you one day to go back and arrange your funeral, and then go back to the main hall to commit suicide. Go."

After saying that, he greeted Xiao Lin and took Xiao Lin. He left the main hall of Bailian Hall without looking back. From beginning to end, neither of them looked at Zhu Chong, who was full of fear.

And Zhu Chong never understood why Xiao Lin wanted to kill him until his death. If he knew that it was just because he had robbed Xiao Lin of eight cents of silver in the Qingshui Lake Mine, he would probably die with regret.

......

When Xiao Lin saw his father and sister Xiao Zhi, even though he was as hard as a rock, he couldn't help but shed tears, and his sister Xiao Zhi even hugged him and cried for a long time, and his father kept wiping tears beside him.

Originally, they learned from Xiao Shi that Xiao Lin had also become an outer disciple of Bailian Hall and was looking for minerals in the Tianlu Mountains, and they were really happy for a long time, but after a few years, Xiao Lin seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news at all, which made them start to worry. Later, like Xiao Shi, they thought he was dead. For this reason, Xiao Zhi specially set up a tablet for him and cried a lot.

This made Xiao Lin quite amused, but he was very moved in his heart. Only his closest relatives would cry and laugh for him.

In the next few days, Xiao Shi did not return to Bailian Hall, but accompanied Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin also rarely enjoyed the warmth of his family. In the first two days, Hua Rongrong was brought here by Shangguan Hong after failing to find Xiao Lin in Bailian Hall.

Seeing Hua Rongrong really surprised Xiao Shi, and he was ready to take action. After learning the whole story, even Xiao Shi was stunned, and Xiao Lin also kept his promise and restored Hua Rongrong's internal strength. From then on, Hua Rongrong became a maid beside Xiao Zhi, not only could she protect the safety of Xiao Lin's family at any time, but also the position of the housekeeper of the entire Xiao family was gradually thrown to Hua Rongrong.

Xiao Lin also got the seeds of strange fruits from Hua Rongrong, and he carefully planted them in the spiritual wood space, and by the way, he also planted the unknown spiritual grass that he got from killing the enchanting woman in the spiritual wood space.

And his father and Xiao Zhi also learned about his experience from Xiao Lin, and understood that he was already a cultivator, which made his father and Xiao Zhi envious, and Xiao Shi kept pestering Xiao Lin to teach him the cultivation method. Xiao Lin couldn't resist, so he threw the incomplete copy of the Dry Water Sutra to Xiao Shi.

In fact, this was intentional by Xiao Lin. He left this Dry Water Scripture. If any of the descendants of the Xiao family could practice it, it would mean that they had spiritual roots. As for whether they had a chance to become immortals, it depended on their personal luck.

The next day, Xiao Lin got the news from Xiao Shi. Yesterday, not long after he and Xiao Lin left the headquarters, Shangguan Hong led people to wipe out Zhu Chong's entire family. The crime was that he had an affair with Baihuamen and provoked disputes in the rivers and lakes. Xiao Lin just smiled and said nothing after hearing this. When he left the headquarters of Bailianmen, he left a trace of spiritual consciousness on Zhu Chong. Now he can be sure that Zhu Chong is dead. As for the crime that Shangguan Hong accused him of, Xiao Lin didn't care. In his opinion, Shangguan Hong was indeed a smart man who knew how to make choices.

In this way, a month passed quickly. On this day, Xiao Lin's family gathered in the living room.

Father and Xiao Zhi's eyes were red, even Xiao Shi, a grown man, had misty eyes, holding Xiao Lin's arm tightly, as if this brother would disappear if he let go. There was also a little boy in his teens and a little girl with pigtails about eight or nine years old, looking at their brother and this strange uncle in a strange way.

"Shitou, you are now a congenital warrior. In this world, no one can threaten you. I feel relieved when you are around, but you must remember that there are people who are better than you. You should keep a low profile and don't easily make too many enemies for yourself."

Then Xiao Lin turned around and looked at Hua Rongrong who was standing by with his hands down: "Hua Rongrong, you must protect the people of the Xiao family. Although the restrictions I have placed on you cannot be lifted, as long as you do not harbor evil thoughts towards the people of the Xiao family, it will not have any effect on you. I believe you are a smart person, so I don't need to waste my breath."

"Brother, you must come back to see Xiao Zhi in the future, woo woo."

Gently stroking Xiao Zhi's head, Xiao Lin also choked and said: "Yes, as long as I have time, I will definitely come to see you."

Two hours later.

A green light shot up from the Xiao family and disappeared into the distant sky in the blink of an eye, while the Xiao family stared at the sky blankly for a long time without saying a word.

In the Tianlu Mountains, Xiao Lin drove the Seven Blades Slash and rushed towards the depths of the Tianlu Mountains at lightning speed. Under the blessing of the Great Perfection Wind Control Technique, his speed was much faster than that of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators. Even cultivators in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining might not be stronger than Xiao Lin in terms of escape speed.

Now, he already knew that his father and younger sister were safe, and after his own arrangements, as long as no cultivators interfered in worldly affairs, his father and sister would be safe. This also made him put down a knot in his heart, allowing him to embark on the path of cultivation without any scruples.

This time he did not plan to return to Wuyin Fairy City, but planned to go to Chixia Fairy City, a fairy city in the Tianlu Mountains that was larger than Wuyin Fairy City.
