Sky Fortune City, Marshal's Mansion—
Surrounded by the army for more than a month, the Marshal's Mansion, where even the servants were not allowed to go out, was full of people today. As early as a quarter of an hour after Yang Zhen's death, those ministers who realized that the sky had changed had released Qin Xiao from house arrest.
There is no doubt that the crown prince Yang Lin will make a comeback, and Qin Xiao will also be re-elected as a minister, even more terrifying than before.
At this time, anyone who doesn't flatter is a fool.
Qin Xiao was surrounded by many officials and returned to the Marshal's Mansion. The road was cleared with gongs and the road was paved with clean water.
Even Qin Xiao's entourage received extremely high courtesy. Those princes and nobles did not dare to put on airs in front of them.
Especially those princes and nobles who had turned to Yang Zhen before, they were all in awe and fear, wishing to cut their chests open and show Qin Xiao their hearts.
You must know that in a power struggle, the victorious party is the easiest to carry out a bloody cleansing. These people who have taken refuge in Yang Zhen before may be cleaned out.
Under such circumstances, how could they not be afraid, wishing to enshrine Qin Xiao like their own father.
A group of princes and nobles flocked Qin Xiao into the Qin Mansion, and then, they saw the huge Suzaku landed in the large courtyard, with magnificent red feathers, burning flames, and faintly emanating lights. The powerful momentum caused a group of princes and nobles to twitch their Adam's apples a few times, and they were silent for a while.
"Master, master, Mr. Lin has arrived with Miss, and is waiting for you in the backyard." A middle-aged butler came up to welcome him.
"Xingxuan..." Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, filled with emotion in his heart. He thought he would never see his granddaughter again, but he didn't expect that the situation would change so dramatically overnight.
Qin Xiao followed the butler to the backyard, and these princes and nobles were naturally left here. But they also had self-knowledge, how could Lin Ming come to see them with his status? At Lin Ming's level, the nobility and kingship in the secular world are just clouds and dust to him, meaningless at all.
So these people naturally sat down in the front hall under the greeting of the housekeeper, and began to drink tea and chat.
…
"grandfather!"
Qin Xiao entered the back hall. Qin Xingxuan cried and threw herself into Qin Xiao's arms. I worried about my grandpa for more than a month. Seeing Grandpa come back in good condition now, Qin Xingxuan couldn't restrain his emotions, tears welled down like beads that were off the thread.
"Grandpa is fine." Qin Xiao patted Qin Xingxuan on the back, living to Qin Xiao's age, and having experienced big storms, there are very few things in this world that can make Qin Xiao feel sad and happy. The only thing Qin Xiao cares about is the inheritance of the Qin family and his children. Grandchildren.
Qin Xiao looked at Qin Xingxuan, his eyes were full of love, he could have such an outstanding granddaughter. It is God's favor.
Turning his gaze to Lin Ming, looking at this outstanding young man in front of him, Qin Xiao's expression was very complicated, gratitude, emotion, relief, awe... All these things were intertwined, and Qin Xiao didn't even know how to address Lin Ming.
He got the news before. The new head of the Seven Xuanwu Mansion was instantly killed by Lin Ming.
He watched Lin Ming grow from a down-and-out young man to a character who even the owner of the Seven Profound Valley paid respect to! At this level, it is beyond Qin Xiao's comprehension.
He naturally hoped to facilitate Qin Xingxuan and Lin Ming's marriage, but this kind of matter was no longer in his control, and he was no longer capable of arranging his granddaughter's life.
"Marshal Qin, you can talk to Xingxuan, I'll go out first." Lin Ming gave a junior salute, then exited the room...
…
Outside the room, the middle-aged housekeeper was waiting.
"Master Lin, someone wants to see you."
"See me? Didn't I say that no one will be seen?" Lin Ming didn't want to see the princes and nobles of Sky Fortune City, it was nothing more than giving gifts and flattering horses. He didn't have any interest in these things.
"This... She said it was your old friend."
"Old man?" Lin Ming first thought of Lan Yunyue, but when he actually saw it, he was slightly taken aback. A girl wearing a white dress, well-dressed, and looking a bit weak was waiting respectfully beside her. hall.
It turned out to be... Bai Jingyun.
Back then, Bai Jingyun and Murong Zi were both called the Seven Profound Shuangjiao, and they were also the focus of the Seven Profound Martial House. However, Lin Ming didn't have much contact with Bai Jingyun. He only made a few treasure inscriptions for her. To Bai Jingyun, Lin Ming His memory is not deep, he almost forgot about this girl.
Seeing Lin Ming coming in, Bai Jingyun smiled slightly and saluted. "Master Lin."
Lin Ming was at a loss for what to do when Master Lin called out. Lin Ming said, "Just be more casual. We used to be disciples of the same school."
"Well...then I'll call you Brother Lin." Bai Jingyun smiled, "Speaking of which, I entered the Qixuanwu Mansion earlier than Brother Lin. At the beginning, I thought that Brother Lin had unlimited potential, but I didn't expect that after a few years, Lin Brotherhood has reached this level..."
Bai Jingyun couldn't help but sigh with emotion, when Lin Ming entered the Ten Thousand Killing Formation for the first time, his ranking was much lower than her, but now, even the master of Seven Xuanwu Mansion was instantly killed by Lin Ming.
It was like a dream.
"Well, I was lucky enough to get some chances. It's just good luck."
"Luck is also a part of genius." Bai Jingyun shook her head, her expression straightened immediately, a strange look flashed in her eyes, "Brother Lin, can I ask you something?"
"Speaking."
Bai Jingyun hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "A year and a half ago... Ouyang Dihua... Did you kill it?"
The feud between Lin Ming and Ouyang Boyan was known in the entire Sky Fate City only by Yang Zhen, the cloaked man and a few people, other than that, no one knew about it.
People didn't even know how Yang Zhen got in touch with the cloaked man, they just guessed that there was a big man from the Seven Profound Valley behind Yang Zhen, but no one knew who it was.
Naturally, Bai Jingyun didn't know, but some clues could be found, such as Lin Ming's arrangement of his parents before he left Sky Fortune Kingdom, the new mansion master came from the Acacia Sect, Ouyang Boyan had been to Sky Fortune Kingdom, the news of Lin Ming's death After hearing the news, Yang Zhen attacked the Qin family...
When this series of things were connected, Bai Jingyun had such an association, that's why she came to ask Lin Ming for clarification.
Now, Lin Ming naturally has nothing to hide, he nodded, "Ouyang Dihua was killed by me."
After hearing Lin Ming's words, Bai Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, and slightly closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
She settled a matter that had been in her heart for more than a year, but she was faintly disappointed, as if she had finished one thing, but got a result that was actually meaningless, which made her feel a little tired.
When she opened it again, Bai Jingyun's eyes recovered, "Thank you Brother Lin..."
Lin Ming shook his head, "There is nothing to thank, I killed him because he had the intention to kill me first."
Everyone has their own aspirations. In fact, the Hehuan sect is not so scary for female disciples. If you can let go of the reservedness and arrogance of women, you can get what you want in the Hehuan sect. There are many female disciples who are not talented but have some beauty , For the sake of youth and wealth, they all desperately squeezed into the Acacia Sect.
Lin Ming sighed, took out a pair of pill bottles from the Sumeru Ring, and said, "Senior Sister Bai, for this pair of medicine bottles, one bottle is for you, and if you can see Lan Yunyue, help me Give it to her, these medicines are mild in nature, and you can take them without any scruples, and can guarantee that you will enter the pulse coagulation period... "
Bai Jingyun's talent is only good in the Seven Profound Martial House. As a warrior, she naturally dreams of breaking through the pulse condensing stage as soon as possible, but now, looking at the pair of medicine bottles, Bai Jingyun doesn't feel any joy in her heart, as if After experiencing some things, she no longer pursues them.
After hesitating for a while, Bai Jingyun still silently put away the pair of pill bottles, and said in a low voice, "Miss Lan has been running her cloth shop in the north of the city for a year, and she probably knew about Brother Lin's return this time..."
Bai Jingyun's implication was that Lan Yunyue didn't want to come to see Lin Ming. Now that things are different, seeing him is meaningless, and it will only increase embarrassment.
Lin Ming was silent, and sighed softly in his heart, maybe the peaceful days are more suitable for Lan Yunyue... Sending out this pill bottle also ended the last karma, and since then, this relationship has completely vanished...
After bidding farewell to Bai Jingyun, Lin Ming returned to the room alone. He had already instructed the housekeeper not to disturb anyone, including not to deliver food.
Just like this, Lin Ming entered the ethereal martial intent, sitting for three or four hours.
When I opened my eyes, it was already night.
Lin Ming stood up and took out a small bottle from the Sumeru Ring. Inside the bottle was a red liquid, which was the blood essence extracted from Ouyang Boyan and Ouyang Boxu!
It has been nearly two years since Lin Ming used the essence and blood of an acquired master to open the Rubik's Cube by mistake.
In two years, Lin Ming's strength has reached the peak of innateness!
I don't know if the essence and blood of an innate master can open the Rubik's Cube again
Lin Ming couldn't wait to verify this guess.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lin Ming laughed at himself and said to himself, "My thoughts are messed up again. This kind of mentality is not suitable for opening the Rubik's Cube..."
The more important the treasure, the more you need to treat it with inaction and fearlessness, otherwise you may be attracted by greed, and you may reveal various spiritual flaws.
Right now, Lin Ming is not extremely eager for the inheritance contained in the Rubik's Cube. What he most wants to explore is the secret of the Rubik's Cube itself. How did it come about? Where did it come from? What does it want to direct itself to do
Lin Ming always felt that the Rubik's Cube had spirituality, but it seemed to stand at the highest point in the world, viewing everything, including Lin Ming himself, with an almost indifferent attitude.
The so-called world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog. For Rubik's Cube, there is no such thing as benevolence or inhumanity. It just exists indifferently, regardless of the changes in the world...
After calming down again, Lin Ming took off his clothes, revealing the strange symbol on Lin Ming's left chest. Its pattern is exactly a mysterious inscription on the Rubik's Cube...)
, it is a kind of enjoyment, it is recommended that you collect it.
