Chapter 37 Xiaoyue comes again
Chapter 37 Xiaoyue comes again (seeking follow-up reading)
The first person to speak was an old man. He sat cross-legged on the left, wearing a green robe and with a three-foot beard blowing in the wind. He looked like a sage.
But Tian Lin knew that this old man was probably a master, but he had never cultivated true Qi.
"Little brother, stop at the 82nd floor. Going higher is where only Grandmasters can step into. I advise you to wait until you have reached Grandmaster level before attempting to climb the mountain."
Next to the old man was a fat woman.
The woman was wearing an apron and looked like a cook.
"Haha, I told you that Brother Tian is extraordinary. It's only been a short time, but you've already come from the 60th floor to the 82nd floor. It seems that I underestimated your level of cultivation before."
The young man in white, Bai Ye, was also there, and next to him was Han Li.
Han Li nodded at Tian Lin and pointed to the 100th stone staircase in front of him and said, "That is the first platform. Many menial disciples can only look at it with envy but cannot enter."
Tian Lin followed where Han Li pointed and looked at the platform under the night sky.
The bright moonlight made the platform appear white, and there was only a desk on the platform.
Looking up from below, you can't see what's on the table. It just looks ordinary, but it has a simple and time-honored atmosphere.
"Everyone, please continue to practice. Han will go ahead."
After Han Li sighed, he took Tian Lin and slowly walked down the stone steps.
The two of them walked all the way to the mountain gate. Han Li looked at Tian Lin carefully. After a while, he couldn't help but said, "You said you wanted to kill Xiaoyue. I thought it was a joke until yesterday. But today you appeared on the 83rd floor, and I believe it a little."
Tian Lin said bluntly: "Maybe I have a good talent for martial arts, plus I take medicine every day, so my practice has improved by leaps and bounds."
After a pause, Tian Lin said, "I think it will take me less than two days to reach the Grandmaster level."
Han Li frowned and said, "Xiaoyue really wants you to kill me?"
Tian Lin nodded, and Han Li said, "I have no grudges against her, nor against Young Master Shang, so why did she kill me? If it's for the sake of interests, Young Master Shang and I are both subordinates of the Third Steward, so our interests should be the same - so, Brother Tian, did you misunderstand Miss Xiaoyue's meaning?"
Tian Lin simply said, "Brother Han is the Third Steward's man. Is Young Master Shang really the Third Steward's man? I don't want to alienate Young Master Shang and the Third Steward, but people's minds are different. For this matter, why don't Brother Han ask the Third Steward after I kill Xiaoyue?"
He said that he didn't want to alienate Young Master Shang and the Third Steward, but in fact, he just wanted to alienate Young Master Shang and the Third Steward.
However, he hoped not to alert the enemy for the time being, and would wait and see how the situation would turn out after Xiaoyue was killed.
Just as Han Li frowned, Tian Lin smiled and changed the subject, saying, "Maybe I will be able to reach the Grandmaster level tomorrow. When that happens, I would like to ask Brother Han for some advice."
Han Li came back to his senses, forced a smile and nodded, saying: "If you can defeat me, you will be able to kill Xiaoyue."
Tian Lin really didn't dare to fight Xiaoyue easily, he didn't know the specific gap between himself and Xiaoyue.
But according to Han Li, Xiaoyue is no match for him.
And if he could defeat Han Li, then he would be able to fight Xiaoyue.
The two of them finally walked down the mountain path. At this time, Han Li took out the meat that Tian Lin had given him yesterday and handed it back to Tian Lin, saying:
"Second Mother said that this is either an eagle swallow or a ghost swallow. The kitchen staff at Jianfeng always likes to catch these two kinds of birds for cooking."
Tian Lin then asked Han Lidao, "I wonder if these two kinds of birds are expensive. Will our kitchen sell them?"
"It's not expensive, but few people in our kitchen like to eat this, so we don't sell it. If you want to try it, I'll ask Second Mother to bring you a portion from Jianfeng Kitchen tomorrow."
Tian Lin immediately bowed and thanked him, and the two of them returned to the mining college and went their separate ways.
But before Tian Lin returned to the house, a man with a head full of cloth walked over.
The man took out his pipe and said to Tian Lin, "Mr. Tian, Miss Xiaoyue just came to see you. She asked me to bring you a message, asking you to stay in the house and wait for her tomorrow."
Tian Lin was stunned for a moment, and asked the man, "She didn't say when she would come tomorrow?"
The man just laughed and said nothing. Tian Lin frowned and looked at the man. After thinking for a while, he smiled again and said, "I know it was my tired brother who got whipped. If you are dissatisfied, I apologize here."
"Forget it. I can't be your brother."
Tian Lin saw him walking away with his back turned, so he said, "Okay, then I'll ask my brother to tell her tomorrow to find me on the Daodao Mountain!"
The man stopped at the door, turned his head and looked at Tian Lin in surprise: "Aren't you waiting for Miss Xiaoyue?"
"She was the one looking for me, not me looking for her, so why should I wait for her?"
Seeing Tian Lin was about to close the door, the man knocked on it and said, "If you don't wait for her, how can I report to her? If she gets angry with me, what do you want me to do?"
Tian Lin asked him back: "Brother, what are you afraid of? She is looking for trouble with me, but she can't whip you, right?" When the man heard the word "whip", he subconsciously touched his face.
His face was still wrapped in cloth, but he could feel the 'grooves' on his face through the cloth.
"Brother, she will come to see you tomorrow morning. You must wait for her. It won't take long."
Tian Lin said nothing and slammed the door shut.
"You're not urging me to kill Han Li, are you? It's only been a few days."
Tian Lin untied his knife and put the food box on the table.
The next morning, the Taoist bell rang, and a group of people rushed to the river shouting.
When Tian Lin opened the door, he was surprised to see Zhao Si guarding his door.
"Brother Zhao, have you been standing at my door all night?"
Zhao Si looked fierce, raised his hand to block Tian Lin's way, and said, "You can't leave today no matter what you say. Stay here with me and wait for Miss Xiaoyue to come."
"You are still injured. Aren't you tired of standing all night?"
After Tian Lin finished asking, Zhao Si said, "What's a night's work worth? As long as I can't let you run away, standing there all night is not worth it."
Tian Lin was speechless. He had no intention of running away at all.
Seeing that Zhao Si was blocking his way and refused to let him go out, Tian Lin simply gave up.
With his current strength, he is no match for Zhao Si, who is at the Grandmaster level.
He sat cross-legged in the room meditating for not long before he heard a whip crack and then Zhao Si's screams from the bamboo corridor.
Tian Lin stood up, glared at Xiao Yue and said, "Why did you hit someone for no reason?"
Xiaoyue sneered, "Do you think you can scare me by finding helpers?"
Zhao Si rolled on the ground, crying, "Miss Xiaoyue, please don't misunderstand me, I am not his helper."
Xiaoyue frowned, realizing that she might have been thinking wrong, but how could she admit her mistake?
He just said coldly to Zhao Si on the ground: "Then you shouldn't block my way!"
Zhao Si didn't say anything, but Tian Lin said, "Okay, you don't have to use him as a pretext to intimidate me. Now, what do you want from me?"
After Xiaoyue scolded Zhao Si and sent him away, she looked at Tian Lin coldly and said, "You asked why Han Li had to be killed. I asked for you. The young master said that Han Li was the third steward's man, so killing Han Li would please the second steward.
When you kill Han Li, he will then make you the supervisor of the mine. Then, you can take the Shuiling Mine from the mine to work for the second manager and try to become his confidant.
Tian Lin was silent for a while, then said, "Young Master Shang wants me to be the second steward's confidant, what is his plan?"
Xiaoyue said: "This is not something you should ask - I have already told you the answer you want. Now it's your turn to tell me, how long will it take you to kill Han Li?"
Tian Lin touched his stomach, thought for a moment and said, "Although my talent is pretty good, the money Young Master Shang gave me is not enough for me to buy more medicinal food—"
"You dare to take advantage of this opportunity to ask for benefits?"
Xiaoyue's eyebrows were raised and her hand had already reached for the whip at her waist.
Tian Lin asked her back, "You can't even deal with Han Li, so how can I kill him without the help of medicinal food? Even if you use a trick, it's unlikely, right?"
Without waiting for Xiaoyue to speak, he continued, "If you are willing to give me two hundred taels of silver, perhaps I can kill him in seven days."
Xiaoyue's face was uncertain, and she finally said: "I only have 180 taels. I will give you the silver tomorrow. But after seven days, I want to see Han Li's head!"
Seeing that she was about to leave, Tian Lin immediately said, "When I entered the sect, the knife in my hand was still from the mine. The dagger is only slightly better than ordinary iron tools. If I could have a good knife, I would be more helpful to the young master."
Xiaoyue paused, and finally said, "Okay, I'll bring you the knife in seven days!"
As she left, she heard Zhao Si from next door cursing, "Mr. Tian, we two cannot coexist!"
. . . . I sent it by mistake. I sent out tomorrow's draft instead. . . Never mind. I won't delete it. .
Big guys, please follow me. The PK has started in the next few days. I need to go for three rounds. I need to go for three rounds. Big guys, I need your help.
