Chapter 153 Leader and Leader 04
However, when the man in black rushed upstairs, he found that Lin Xi was not the only one in Zuiyun Tower. Behind the curtain, a man in white with a sword appeared solemnly and stood side by side with him.
The two men in black and white were surrounded in the narrow corridor, but the men in black around them felt the overwhelming momentum, and even felt withdrawn.However, that person gave the order to die. If they retreat here, they will not be able to survive if they go back.
I can only go up!
The fight didn't last long, and the person who sent them probably didn't expect such a difficult person to appear in Zuiyun Tower, so they only sent a few people with average skills.
He wanted to leave a mouth alive for questioning, but that person bit off the dick hidden in his teeth with fearful eyes, and committed suicide.
After sheathing his sword, Xiao Shenzhi walked up to Lin Xi and said, "This place is not suitable for staying for a long time. These people's psychological quality is obviously not strong enough, but in the end they still choose to take poison, which is enough to show how powerful the people behind the scenes are."
Looking at the corpses here, Lin Xi felt a little complicated, "If Jinniang and the others didn't leave, then they must not be the ones who fell tonight. Zuiyun Tower is quite special in the branch of Xuanyan Sect. They're some showgirls who have no power to restrain their chickens."
Xiao Shenzhi hugged him by the shoulder and comforted him, "Fortunately, you were aware of it, which prevented an indiscriminate disaster. The people you killed before must have made the other party aware that there are still people alive in the Lin family, and they are looking into the past. , what happened tonight is probably just a temptation."
It's also just the beginning.
The distance between them is shrinking unknowingly, and when Lin Xi reacts, he can almost feel the familiar aura of the other party.As his expression changed, he backed away a few steps, his heart beating uncontrollably.
Xiao Shenzhi's eyes looked hurt, but Lin Xi could only keep hypnotizing himself not to soften his heart.Obviously wanting to stay away from this person, why did he want to catch up?
Lin Xi never thought that after their reunion, it was not because he, as the leader of the martial arts alliance, couldn't tolerate him, but approached him with a gentler and stronger attitude.He always felt that his heart had been so cold that no one could walk in these years, but he was wrong too much.
Just because I didn't see him.
In front of his gentleness, the hard barriers instantly fell apart.
Lin Xi folded her arms and lowered her head a little dejectedly, "Xiao Shenzhi, what kind of existence am I to you? What is your purpose of helping me all the time?"
The moment this question was asked, Lin Xi already felt that she had completely lost in this game.He had to admit that he had expectations for Xiao Shenzhi, and he shouldn't have done so, but the endlessly growing thoughts in his heart made his mind confused.
Xiao Shenzhi didn't answer easily, he was actually looking for an answer.He has been obsessed with the old affairs of Cha Lin's family for so many years, looking for Lin Xi's whereabouts, and he has never thought of a reason for doing these things.
But today he had to give a reason, which made him very embarrassed.
Just out of sympathy?Or is it because the other party is a childhood sweetheart?Xiao Shenzhi silently crossed out the reason of sympathy in his heart, regrettable things happen all the time in this martial arts world, although he is kind and upright by nature, he is not sentimental.
Will there be less crying and mourning after becoming the leader of the martial arts all these years?He will only calmly help the other party seek justice, and if he really can't seek justice, he just needs to comfort him.
If there is anything that Xiao Shenzhi can't let go of, it is Lin Xi.Only when he sees that brave appearance, he will feel extremely distressed, and only in his affairs will he have such an emotion of worrying about gains and losses.
Just when Lin Xi was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Shenzhi said, "Xi'er is Xi'er, no one can replace you." His expression seemed a little hesitant, and he said anxiously, "Xi'er, we have always been close friends Isn't it?"
After Xiao Shenzhi finished speaking, he looked at him nervously, and then saw Lin Xi, who had kept her head down, smiling.For some reason, he always felt that there seemed to be a bit of bitterness in this smile, did he say something wrong?
Lin Xi took a deep breath, Xiao Shenzhi was actually not wrong, it was always him who was wrong.They were originally best friends, whether it was for sympathy or childhood sweethearts...
But he didn't want to be his friend at all.
Forget it, he will still go back to Qifeng Valley after this matter is over, and it will only be a few months.
He said he was a friend, so he was a friend.
After calming down, Lin Xi raised her head and said calmly, "Yes, we are... best friends. This is not a place to stay for a long time. We know that the other party is in the dark, and we can only wait passively until we find out the identity of the other party. "
For some reason, Xiao Shenzhi felt flustered after seeing Lin Xi's calm attitude.Perhaps it was because the other party accepted the rhetoric too easily, but isn't this what he has always wanted to achieve?
As if to conceal his vacillation, Xiao Shenzhi walked over and put his arm on his shoulders, "There is a stronghold of the Wulin League in Chenzhou nearby, how about we go there first to settle down? It is also more convenient for investigation or correspondence."
Lin Xi pondered for a moment, "Alright."
Xiao Shenzhi noticed that Lin Xi didn't back away or frowned and refused, his attitude was so natural that it seemed that all the previous sharpness had disappeared.
In the next few days, Xiao Shenzhi discovered that Lin Xi's attitude was very different from before. The way they got along was like friends...?He no longer confronted him about his approaching, and occasionally he could laugh and talk about interesting things in the past, but when he asked about what happened six years ago, he just found an excuse to evade it.
Although getting along better, Xiao Shenzhi knew that there was always politeness and alienation behind this easy getting along.
It seems that they are closer to each other than before. In fact, there is always an invisible gap between them, which is difficult to bridge.
After arriving in Chenzhou, Xiao Shenzhi arranged a separate courtyard for Lin Xi and then organized the stronghold of the Wulin League.This courtyard is a short distance from the entrance, and the noise of the day cannot be heard.
Lin Xi was still quite satisfied with this place, put down her things and walked out of the room, and saw Xiao Shenzhi ordering the maid: "If he needs anything, you should do your best to satisfy him, and if you have nothing to do on weekdays, don't bother him."
Xiao Shenzhi asked the maid to back down, turned around and saw Lin Xi standing not far away, "Xi'er, are you satisfied with this place?"
"Of course I'm satisfied, Brother Lao Xiao will take care of it."
Ever since the conversation in Zuiyun Tower, Lin Xi's address for him has changed from Leader Xiao to Big Brother Xiao.
Xiao Shenzhi looked at him firmly, "Why are you so polite between us?"
Lin Xi smiled, but did not reply.
When he arrived at the stronghold of the Wulin League, Xiao Shenzhi's time became less plentiful.I wanted to spend more time with Lin Xi, but every day, different letters came from various places asking him to read and reply.
Lin Xi was not as busy as him, sending letters to various halls to keep an eye on Xie Lianyi's whereabouts and telling Xi Wu exactly what happened before.The reply he received was that Xiwu would send someone to find out the current whereabouts of those who left Xuanyan Sect back then, so that he could wait for the news with peace of mind.
In this way, his time can be regarded as free, and he can bask in the sun in the courtyard, drink tea and practice martial arts when he has nothing to do.
When Xiao Shenzhi entered, Lin Xi was sitting on the recliner reading a book, which was an anecdote he had dug out from the library.He walked to the stone chair next to him and sat down, hesitantly called out, "Xi'er."
"Huh?" Lin Xi glanced at him from the corner of her eye, then sat up and made him a cup of tea, "What's the matter?"
"I'm going to leave Chenzhou for a few days to deal with some things. I have already found someone to investigate the Lin family's affairs. There should be news in a few days." After saying this, he looked at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was a little terrified by his stare, "You can deal with it at ease, I should stay here for nothing."
Xiao Shenzhi was inexplicably anxious, and he didn't know what he was expecting.
He said seriously, "Wait for me to come back."
Lin Xi looked at his expression, with a smile on his lips, "Okay."
However, when Xiao Shenzhi returned to Chenzhou, he did not see Lin Xi in the courtyard.On the table in the room, a piece of rice paper was pressed under the inkstone.
The writing on it was vigorous and powerful, saying: The whereabouts of Xie Lianyi have been found, and he will return soon.
The signature is Lin Xi.
Xiao Shenzhi didn't know what kind of mood he was in, he held the note tightly in his palm, and finally sat down on the chair slumped.The crumpled paper fell from his hand and rolled on the ground several times.
There was no other information on the note. He didn't know what news Lin Xi got and where he went. Now he could only wait passively.
Sitting in this posture for a whole night, he continued to deal with the affairs of the Wulin League early the next morning.Seeing that there was still no light in the courtyard at night, I went back to my room to rest.
It wasn't until the fifth day that Xiao Shenzhi went over to take a look after finishing the matter at hand, only to find that Lin Xi was sitting on a deck chair basking in the sun and taking a nap.
