Chapter 70 Hypocrisy
Lin Shan could never have imagined that right after he discovered the sect's magical power, the "Seven Arrows Book", Princess Guo would appear to steal it!

Before he could react, Princess Guo behind him stepped forward, raised her hand, and threw ten spirit stones directly into the hands of the old stall owner.

"Ten Spiritual Stones, keep them!"

Then a pair of phoenix eyes and Lin Shan faced each other!

At this moment, Lin Shan was filled with shock and anger. Princess Guo did not play by the rules.

Not only did he come up to steal the money, he also threw the spirit stones to the stall owner, and after the matter was settled, he forcefully bought the money.

Aren't you going to raise the price with me? Lin Shan was ready to raise the price.

At this time, the atmosphere between the two of them was somewhat solemn, and Lin Shan held the straw man motionlessly in his hand.

Hand it over? Impossible. Others may not know the value of this straw man, but he knows it very well.

Just when he couldn't help but turn around and wanted to bargain with the old stall owner for more money, Princess Guo opposite him suddenly burst out laughing.

"Friend Lin, I bought this for you."

Lin Shan was caught off guard and looked at the woman in blue palace dress in front of him in astonishment.

The woman seemed to have forgotten that they were mortal enemies and raised her eyebrows.

"Let's find a place to chat?"

……

In a private room of a teahouse in the city, Lin Shan and Princess Guo were sitting at the same table.

The two of them drank tea and occasionally exchanged glances, but no one spoke first.

Lin Shan didn't say anything to express his gratitude. He didn't need anyone else to make this straw man for him. He was originally planning to buy it.

Moreover, Princess Guo was his mortal enemy, so she must have had a purpose in inviting him here. Fighting was not allowed in the market town anyway, so there was no need for him to lose the initiative.

After drinking tea for a while, Princess Guo finally spoke first. It must be said that the words of this beautiful woman with an icy temperament were pleasing to the eye, and there was a special kind of charm when her red lips slightly lifted. Lin Shan even suspected that she could compete with the top prostitute in a brothel.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, a native of Qinghe County in the southern border of the Great Song Dynasty, is a branch of the Lin family. At the age of 16, he entered the acquired Qi-changing realm, and later joined the Nightingale branch of Zangke. Two years later, the red fruit of Dongting Lake appeared and killed the Southern Immortal Master. When he came to the capital, he was already in the middle stage of Qi training."

Princess Guo glanced at Lin Shan meaningfully, and knew his background and past like the back of her hand.

Lin Shan was playing with the teacup in his hand, feeling neither happy nor sad. He did not show any surprise, doubt, fear, anger, etc. after the details were investigated.

Since Lin traveled through time, he lost both his parents in this world, and he doesn't have any confidantes. He has no weaknesses at all. What good would it do even if the truth is investigated?
If there is a connection, the Lin family of Qinghe County did have some grace in raising him, but it cannot be used to threaten him. If the Lin family is destroyed, it will only cause Lin Shan to have greater hatred!

"Princess Guo is indeed the jewel in the crown of the King of Huai'an. She is well-informed. However, you don't think that this will allow you to control Lin, do you?"

"Why, do you want to use the Qinghe County Lin family to threaten me?"

Lin Shan had a blank expression on his face.

Princess Guo saw that Lin Shan was at ease and could not help but sigh inwardly that although this boy was young, he was mature and prudent, and was a tricky guy!

"I know that Fellow Daoist Lin has no worries, so I don't mean to do that. Besides, Fellow Daoist Lin is not the only one in the Lin family who has embarked on the path of immortality. How could I easily make another enemy?"

When Lin Shan heard this, he remembered that he had visited the Lin family before leaving Zangke County and heard that Lin Fan had also been taken away by a master in the world of immortal cultivation. This was indeed another layer of insurance, and he didn't have to worry too much about the Lin family.

However, what was the mystery behind Princess Guo's words and what was the purpose of bringing him here were still not made clear, so Lin Shan naturally did not say anything.

Seeing that Lin Shan was once again unmoved, the beautiful lady in palace dress beside him had no choice but to stop keeping him in suspense: "Fellow Daoist Lin, tell me the truth. This time, I asked you to come here to reconcile with me."

Lin Shan poured himself a cup of tea without even looking up. “Reconciliation? You want to reconcile with just ten spirit stones? Your Highness is underestimating me.”

Princess Guo frowned and said, "Then what do you want? You and I don't have any deep hatred. I almost killed you at the beginning, but didn't you almost kill me later? How about this be a settlement?"

After drinking the tea in the cup, Lin Shan sat in the teahouse and looked out at the mountains in the distance, as if he was recalling some past events.

"What about the deceased Master Huang? How do we settle this account with him?"

Princess Guo patiently explained: "Fellow Daoist Huang's death has nothing to do with me. We didn't know that the green-robed old ghost hid his identity and leaked your information. The other two fellow Daoists even had a fight with him by the stream. Later, he cooperated with us, but he sneaked out to eat alone. He deserved to die!" "From the beginning to the end, we didn't really hurt Fellow Daoist Huang, right?"

When Lin Shan heard this, it seemed to make sense. The one who killed Master Huang was the green-robed old man, and he was killed by himself. Princess Guo and the others really got nothing.

However, it seems that I have forgotten about these two people.

"How are the black-robed Taoist nun and the woman in the bamboo hat?" Lin Shan asked curiously.

Princess Guo answered straightforwardly, "The former is dead, and the latter is the daughter of Duke Qi. We will spare her life because of the friendship between her fathers."

Lin Shan remained silent, recalling the scene when the black-robed Taoist nun had screamed at the top of her lungs to ask him and Master Huang for help.

But he didn't have any grudges. They were not familiar with each other to begin with, so there was no need for him to risk his life to save her. He was just feeling a little emotional.

The icy beauty next to him saw that he remained silent for a long time, and stamped her feet anxiously: "Friend Lin, we are not afraid of you, but it is better to resolve the enemy than to create one. Don't think that I am begging you!"

Lin Shan touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and weighed the pros and cons.

Now that I have just arrived in Yichuan, everything is focused on improving my own strength. There is no rush for revenge, so it is better to pretend to be nice first.

"Okay, but I need you and the person behind you to do me a favor."

Princess Guo asked cautiously, "What help?"

Lin Shan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. You all have royal palaces behind you. I hope you can get me some antiques that are familiar to the world. I personally like to collect them. It shouldn't be difficult, right?"

That’s right, Lin Shan had his eyes on ancient charm.

What he didn't expect was that Princess Guo was a little embarrassed: "My father has one or two of the famous antiques you mentioned in the Huai'an Palace. It's no problem to give them to you, but I'm afraid it's hard to say for other Taoist friends."

"Why? Aren't they all immortal masters worshipped by the palace?" Lin Shan asked puzzled.

Princess Guo patiently explained to him, "But they only have a cooperative relationship with the palace, and they cannot force the prince. The court of the Song Dynasty is supported by the three major sects, and the royal family itself has cultivators in the foundation-building stage, so they have warned the cultivators not to attack the mortal princes of the royal family."

“So the mortal princes in the secular world offer sacrifices to the casual cultivators only to deal with the mortal innate masters. No immortal cultivator dares to harm them!”

Princess Guo shook her head, indicating that she could not make the decision for others on this matter. After all, those independent cultivators were also working for the prince.

After hearing this, Lin Shan could only sigh. As long as he had the antiques from the Huai'an King's family, it was better than nothing.

The two discussed again for a while, and finally reached an agreement and agreed to a settlement.

After all, if he really fights to the death with Princess Guo and others, he will have to return to the Song Dynasty sooner or later, and a bloody battle is inevitable at that time.

What if these people were ruthless and ambushed Yi Chuan on his way back? Although he was not afraid of Princess Guo, Lin Shan was still wary of the talisman sword of her accomplice, the middle-aged man in Jinyi.

After the two of them cleared up their past grudges, they slowly began to talk and laugh. Without the aura of enemies, Lin Shan looked at Princess Guo with admiration. After all, she was a beauty! Who wouldn't like her?

What's more, she is an icy beauty with ice spiritual roots. Her temperament really makes people want to conquer her.

But the next moment, the Ice Beauty made an invitation, saying that precious spiritual herbs had been discovered in the north of the Yanyun Mountains, and invited Lin Shan to go on an adventure together, but Lin Shan decisively refused!
Are you kidding me? !

Lin Shan's mind is now full of thoughts on how to use the sect's magical power "The Book of Seven Arrows" that he has just obtained, and how to practice in seclusion to reach the peak of the middle stage of Qi training.

As for traveling with the beauty? Put it on the back burner! If you ask, I just don’t have time!

Princess Guo wanted to persuade him again, but when she saw that Lin Shan gradually felt something was wrong and seemed to be a little alert and suspicious, she had to give up.

The two chatted casually for a while, and then Lin Shan said goodbye and left in a hurry.

……

After seeing Lin Shan walking away from the teahouse, Princess Guo's pretty face returned to its icy coldness, and she spoke to the air, "He's gone, come out."

The curtain at the back of the box was raised, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes and two other people walked out.
