Chapter Index

    This idea was so ridiculous that Wei Lin felt that he might be out of his mind.

    It is true that the person he has been in this world for so long, the person he has gotten along with the most is Duan Xi. Not only does he know his temperament clearly, but he also understands a few percent of it.

    If they were on the same side, Duan Xi would indeed be a reliable partner, but now their relationship is unclear and he hides too many secrets.It is impossible to have unreserved trust between the two of them.

    Now that Duan Xi had expressed his stance, what he thought of was that he could use it.

    Wei Lin felt a little sad. When did he become so hypocritical?

    Duan Xi on the opposite side was still waiting for his answer. He did not respond directly, but turned to another topic: “I know that you have been investigating the cause of Suzaku’s death recently. With your ability, I believe you have found the truth, so…”

    He paused and stared at Duan Xi solemnly, “What are your plans?”

    One is the sworn enemy he has hated for many years, and the other is the father who killed his mother, whom he has not had a good relationship with. What choice will Duan Xi make?

    Wei Lin felt that now was the best time to win over, and there were some things that should have been brought out in the open.He didn’t know what the original owner was thinking that made Duan Xi misunderstand that he had killed his mother, and even killed her several times, but then let Duan Xi go at the last moment.

    From the beginning to the end, the original owner left him few clues and information, which made him act too passively every step of the way. He had to do something to reverse the situation.

    As long as Duan Xi can stand on the same front as him, he can do many things freely.

    Duan Xi pursed his lips. He was very careful in his investigation and didn’t even find that person. He didn’t expect Wei Lin to know about it.

    He couldn’t help but feel a little scared. How did Wei Lin get information from his subordinates under the surveillance of so many double-eyelids?

    Wei Lin’s eyes were very calm. Duan Xi tried to see something from it, but in the end it was in vain.

    He sighed, “Wei Lin, I really underestimated you.”

    Wei Lin is a very deep-minded person, and his thoughts are always unpredictable.He could even reasonably suspect that if he didn’t help Wei Linzhi go crazy, Wei Lin would still have a way out of the predicament.

    “Wei Lin, what do you want to do?”

    On the surface, it seemed that he was the one who imprisoned Wei Lin, but how could he not be a controlling chess piece on Wei Lin’s chessboard?

    “If you can’t be honest with me, there’s no way I’m going to be there for you.”

    Whether in terms of interests or emotions, Duan Xi hoped that Wei Lin would be honest with him, but he was destined to be disappointed.

    It’s not that Wei Lin doesn’t want to say it, but he doesn’t know it himself.

    He shook his head, “Sorry, I can’t do it yet.”

    Duan Xi stared at him deeply, clenched and unclenched his hands, and finally could only say: “Let’s not talk about this matter for now. I just hope that you will stop acting rashly until you are cured of your obsession. The last time you were able to deceive Zhao Heng was because he didn’t know the inside story and was caught off guard by you. But Xing Siming is a difficult person to deal with. Sooner or later, he will find that you can no longer use your spiritual power.”

    Wei Lin said: “I know.”

    Both of them remained silent after that. Perhaps the atmosphere was too solemn, so Duan Xi found an excuse to leave.

    This meeting ended on bad terms.

    It was night, Wei Lin was leaning sideways on the bedside, playing with a small clay pot in his hand.

    The sour aroma of sour plums filled the air. Wei Lin brows slightly, opened the seal of the clay pot and took out one.

    The sour plums are black and shiny, glowing with beautiful color under the candlelight.

    The sour plum tastes sour and astringent when you enter it, and you have the illusion that your tooth roots will be sour and tender.He didn’t like the taste, but he couldn’t help but taste another one.

    Wei Lin was in a trance as he pressed the tip of his tongue against the sour plum.

    He tried to sort out his relationship with Duan Xi, but found that the more he tried to sort it out, the more confusing it became.

    Wei Lin scratched his hair irritably, sealed the small clay pot, put it on the small table next to the bed, pulled the quilt and covered himself with it, cleared his mind and closed his eyes to sleep.

    Drowsiness came quickly, and Wei Lin fell into a deep sleep without any preparation.

    When he was confused, he felt as if he was soaking in a pool of hot springs. His long silver-white hair was casually scattered on his shoulders, and the tips of his hair fell into the water and spread out.

    There was a slight ripple sound behind him, but he who was soaking in the spring water spoke without the control of his consciousness.

    “What do you want from me?”

    A white tiger with a horizontal stripe and a ringed tail walked out slowly. It did not answer Wei Lin’s question, but walked up to Wei Lin and lay down on the bank, with its two front paws folded.

    Baihu opened his mouth and roared, and said: “Isn’t it bad for you to tease Suzaku’s child like this? If she finds out, with her fiery temper, Guigu will be burned down.”

    Wei Lin lowered his eyes and said in a calm tone: “I hope she can come out and burn Guigu.”

    Bai Hu sighed sadly, “Who would have thought that such a shrewd woman would be deceived by a scumbag, and end up like a god?”

    “Suzaku’s death has become a foregone conclusion, so it’s okay not to talk about those things.”

    Wei Lin directly interrupted Bai Hu’s recollection, “Sooner or later, I will take back Suzaku’s revenge from that person with all my benefits.”

    When he said this, his eyes were as cold as the ice in the far north that had not melted for thousands of years.

    Bai Hu knew that Wei Lin had a plan in his mind. He had never killed the man, probably because he wanted to take advantage of him.

    What he couldn’t understand was that Wei Lin, who had always protected his shortcomings, would not take Suzaku’s child back to Guigu, but instead sent people to hunt him down again and again.

    This time, he took action personally and almost actually killed the child.

    This is not like Wei Lin’s usual behavior.

    “If the Valley Master can’t do anything about that child, you can let me do it for you.”

    Bai Hu thought that Wei Lin hated that the child had the blood of the other half of the person he hated, and he was hesitant because he thought that was Suzaku’s child.

    Wei Lin might be soft-hearted, but he, who is determined and decisive by nature, would not.

    “No one is allowed to touch that child without my order.” Wei Lin looked sideways at him, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

    “Suzaku is dead, and the vacant position of the Four Spirits must be replaced by a demon with Suzaku blood. Jiufeng can temporarily take over, but it cannot truly replace Suzaku.”

    The meaning of Wei Lin’s words was already very clear. He had never thought about taking the life of the half-demon.

    “Now there is only one Suzaku left in this world of immortality. The position of the Spirit of the South belongs to him. But he is not a pure Suzaku. If he is not allowed to experience more life and death, how can he activate the Suzaku bloodline in his body?”

    Bai Hu didn’t expect that it was because of this. He shook his beard and said, “It turns out that I made a mistake.”

    Wei Lin continued to explain: “Lingxi’s adulthood is approaching, and the spirit of the four directions is missing another one. If we can’t find a replacement before her adulthood arrives, we may not be able to hide it from the eyes of heaven and let Lingxi successfully survive the catastrophe of adulthood.”

    Bai Hu said: “Now he misunderstood you as the enemy who killed his mother, and you sent people to his death several times. You are so sure that he will willingly assume the position of the Spirit of the South in the future.”

    Wei Lin curled his lips and smiled, but his golden eyes were still cold.

    He said: “What will you do when you know that you have hated the wrong person for so many years, and that person has been helping you secretly?”

    Bai Hu turned his head and thought for a while: “Maybe even if you don’t shed tears of gratitude, you will definitely feel that you owe the other party a lot, and you want to do something to make up for it.”

    “That kid is very affectionate. If you are like this, let alone him.”

    Wei Lin calculated everything very clearly. Instead of raising the child by his side and not knowing when he would grow into the new Southern Spirit, it would be better to let him become stronger in the dilemma of life and death from the beginning.

    He doesn’t have much time to wait for this weak half-demon Suzaku to grow up slowly. In less than a hundred years, Lingxi will enter the crucial adulthood period, and he must do everything possible to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

    Bai Hu weighed his front paws and suddenly laughed, “So not only can we not let him die young, we also have to have people carefully protect him.”

    Wei Lin nodded and said, “Go and talk to Qinglong and ask him to disguise himself and hide next to the child to protect him. You must not reveal your identity unless you endanger the child’s life.”

    “I understand, I will make it clear to him.”

    Bai Hu stood up, stretched lazily, and disappeared into the forest as quietly as when he came.

    In the hot spring, Wei Lin, who had regained control of his body, pinched his eyebrows tiredly. A snake tail covered with silver scales swayed in the water, causing ripples in the water.

    The conversation he just had with Bai Hu was not at all what he meant, and even his expression was not under his control.He was like a bystander occupying someone else’s body and could only watch the situation develop.

    He thought that he might be dreaming again, and this dream should also be one of the memories of the original owner.

    Things that he still couldn’t figure out before were answered. He never thought that the original owner’s reason for chasing Duan Xi was so simple.

    The original owner’s method of wanting Duan Xi to grow up was direct and crude, but it worked really well.

    No matter what the process was, Duan Xi finally awakened the Suzaku bloodline.

    According to the original owner’s plan, if he hadn’t gone crazy for no reason and was stabbed by him, the original owner would have taken Duan Xi under his command.

    Thinking of this, Wei Lin couldn’t help but think of the Guigu Saint named Lingxi.

    In his dreams, he heard the name Lingxi from the original owner’s mouth not once or twice.Just like the description of Sister Duan Xi was written in one stroke, the author of the Guigu Saint, also named Lingxi, did not waste too much pen and ink.

    What secret is hidden in her body that makes the original owner and the original owner’s master risk their lives to protect her?

    Wei Lin raised his head, put a hand across his eyes, and let out a long breath of exhaustion.

    As he learns more, the number of unanswered questions increases.

    Perhaps after exploring the ancient secret realm of Kunlun Mountain, he should find a way to go back to Ghost Valley to meet the so-called saint.
