He looked Zong Yu up and down in surprise: "It's really strange, you actually know that it's inconvenient to consider us?"
How could Zong Yu ever care about this in the past
He was hungry, so he wanted Jiang Lin to cook for him. In his world, the logic was so simple.
This behavior is a bit dog-like, but Jiang Lin is not much better.
At the beginning, when he knew that Zong Yu had a problem with his sense of taste and only thought the food he cooked was delicious, he brought people back with the intention of providing free labor to Baihuling.
But after all, humans are not plants or trees, how can they be heartless? After hundreds and thousands of years of getting along, he has already regarded Zong Yu as a close family member.
When cooking for a partner, you have to consider the pros and cons; when cooking for your family, just watching them enjoy the meal is satisfying.
-Of course, when it is time to squeeze, Jiang Lin will never show mercy.
But Jiang Lin never thought that Zong Yu could actually say such heartfelt words.
He looked at Zong Yu suspiciously, thinking: Could it be that the child has grown up and finally become sensible
But Zong Yu's behavior doesn't seem like he would become sensible when he grows up.
Something's still wrong.
Something is seriously wrong.
Jiang Lin put his doubts in his heart and said calmly: "How can that be possible? We haven't seen each other for such a long time, I must treat you well."
Zong Yu frowned, feeling a little annoyed, but he didn't know how to express his feelings to Jiang Lin.
He held it in for a long time, and finally said, "Do you need help?"
Jiang Lin: “…Zong Yu.”
He took a deep breath and said, "Come with me, I have something to ask you."
He turned around first, and the others wisely did not follow him.
Jiang Jin stood behind her, looking inquiringly, and asked, "Sister Huaiyin, who is this Brother Zongyu?"
Huaiyin replied: "He... is an old friend of yours."
"Oh." Jiang Jin smiled again and asked, "Then when did Sister Huaiyin and Qingluo meet brother? Sisters are so beautiful, I have never heard brother talk about them."
Huaiyin's heart trembled.
She knew that her existence, Qingluo's existence, and Zong Yu's sudden appearance were all too unusual.
These are definitely not the friends that an ordinary mortal scholar should have, not to mention that they are all secretly led by Jiang Lin.
Jiang Jin is not stupid, so he can naturally see some things.
Huaiyin was actually very surprised. If the gentleman wanted to hide it perfectly, it wouldn't be that difficult.
But Mr. Ke didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything in front of Jiang Jin. He was so casual, revealing the flaws of his identity everywhere.
Huaiyin didn't understand, but she knew that Jiang Lin had his reasons for everything he did.
She could only say, "We met after your brother... died."
This is true in a sense.
"So that's how it is." Jiang Jin responded softly and stopped talking.
Qin Ling, who was standing next to him, came over and looked at Huaiyin inquiringly: "Why would a powerful monster like Miss Huaiyin be willing to follow Jiang Lin all the time?"
Huaiyin glanced at Qin Ling coldly. She didn't like this person.
She said coldly, "What does it have to do with you? You are a Taoist priest, why do you keep following the master?"
Qin Ling said frankly: "I think I like him a little bit."
Huaiyin:
She seemed to think she had heard it wrongly.
The beauty's eyes widened, and she couldn't even maintain her cool look: "You..."
Qin Ling smiled and winked at her: "Isn't it normal for me to be attracted to such a unique beauty like Mr. Jiang?"
Huaiyin... thought to herself, the gentleman is indeed quite unique. In terms of appearance, he is indeed a beauty.
But, it always feels weird to link the word "Mr." with "like".
She looked at Qin Ling with difficulty, not knowing whether to praise him for his unique vision or his courage.
But deep down, I was a little curious: I wonder what it would be like for someone like you to fall in love
Here, Jiang Lin and Zong Yu walked out of the house and arrived at a small hillside with no scenery.
"Tell me." Jiang Lin asked directly, "What are you hiding from me?"
Zong Yu was startled. He carefully looked at Jiang Lin and then answered in a muffled voice, "No."
This attempt to cover up something only made it more obvious really amused Jiang Lin.
"I have been with you since you were this age..." Jiang Lin compared the height to his waist, "I have been with you. Can't I tell if you are hiding something in your heart?"
Moreover, Zong Yu really has no talent for acting.
This remark irritated Zong Yu, who retorted loudly: "I only looked young at that time. In fact, I am much older than you. Don't take advantage of me just because I look young!"
This kind of argument will not lead to any result. Jiang Lin gave up decisively.
"So what are you hiding?"
Zong Yu turned his head and said, "No!"
Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "I understand that everyone has their own secrets. Logically, I shouldn't ask you. But I always feel that..."
His clear eyes fell directly on Zong Yu's face, leaving him no way to avoid it: "What you are hiding from me seems to have something to do with me."
Zong Yu thought with fear and trepidation, he had always known that Jiang Lin was smart and perceptive, but he did not expect that he would be seen through as soon as he arrived.
He was stared at by those eyes that were black and white and seemed to see through everything, and he almost couldn't help but confess.
—But the desire to survive eventually overcame the desire to confess.
Can’t say!
As long as I don’t admit it, Jiang Lin will always be a suspect!
Zong Yu said calmly with a straight face, "Okay, I am hiding something from you."
"Hmm?" Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows, waiting for the next words.
"But this matter is very important to me." Zong Yu said firmly, "It concerns my life and property."
I'm afraid you'll beat me to death if I tell you this. It really is a matter of life and death.
Hearing the words "life and property", before Zong Yu could continue to make up stories, Jiang Lin took the initiative to make concessions: "Forget it then."
His retreat was so clean and quick that Zong Yu felt relieved, but at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied.
What does he mean
He asked, “Why don’t you keep asking?”
Jiang Lin said frankly: "It's better for you to keep this secret to yourself, as it concerns your life and property. Although we are friends, I am not capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility."
This is a very nice statement, but it can be said in another way: "Keep your own life to yourself, don't involve me."
As expected, he is still the indifferent and ruthless Jiang Lin!
Zong Yu glared at him angrily. For a moment, he wanted to tell him everything to see if he could still remain rational and calm.
But it's not necessary.
He took a deep breath and thought that he should wait until he came of age.
When he reaches adulthood, all the inheritance seals in his bloodline will be lifted.
At that time, it’s just a Taoist companion contract, are you still worried that you can’t solve it
After thinking it through, Zong Yu snorted, "Aren't you going to make something delicious for me? It's already this late, why aren't you going yet!"
Jiang Lin looked at his angry appearance and found that he had turned back into the arrogant and unreasonable Zong Yu before.
Instead, it made him feel more at ease.
He turned and walked towards the house, in a good mood: "Okay."
“…What are you doing following me in here?”
"I'll help you!"
Jiang Lin: “…”
Sure enough, there is something wrong. He thought in confusion.
Qin Ling watched the two of them leave, then come back together and go into the kitchen together.
As he spoke, Jiang Lin seemed to want to cook for Zong Yu.
He had known Jiang Lin for so long, but had never seen him enter the kitchen.
In fact, everyone who meets Jiang Lin can easily associate such a person as bright as the moon with a kitchen full of smoke.
"Jiang Lin, can he cook?" he was surprised.
Huaiyin said calmly, "What's so strange about this? The master has been too busy recently. In the past, when he had free time, he was happy to cook some novel delicacies himself."
What’s more, the husband doesn’t just cook, he also rolls up his trousers and goes to the fields to farm!
Qin Ling suddenly looked at Jiang Jin and smiled meaningfully: "Ah Jin, I didn't expect that your brother, a scholar, would have such leisure time."
Jiang Jin had been standing quietly by the side listening to their conversation. When he heard Qin Ling's words, he looked up and stared at Qin Ling with cold eyes.
It was not a pleasant feeling to be stared at by a fierce ghost like this. Qin Ling felt a chill all over his body and subconsciously wanted to touch the long sword behind him.
But the next moment Jiang Jin smiled brilliantly: "Brother is of course the best, he knows everything!"
These words were obviously beyond Qin Ling's expectations. He glanced at Jiang Jin with some reluctance and suspicion, and kept silent.
Jiang Lin is a ghost now, but he is different from ordinary ghosts.
The ingredients were just bought from a nearby town using magic. He could cook a table full of meals for everyone, but he still couldn't eat them himself.
Jiang Jin couldn’t eat it either.
Jiang Lin thought for a moment, then took out a few spiritual fruits from the emerald space and handed two to Jiang Jin: "Ah Jin, eat this."
He also took one for himself and ate it bit by bit.
Qin Ling looked straight at Jiang Lin: "You are willing to take out such a good thing casually."
Hearing this, Jiang Jin put down the sweet fruit he had just taken a bite of, and looked at Jiang Lin uneasily: "Brother, is this precious?"
Although she is a fierce ghost, she actually doesn't understand many things.
When she ate the fruit, she felt it was sweet and comfortable, and it warmed her cold body.
Jiang Lin smiled at her: "As long as Jin likes to eat it, it's fine. It's not precious. Brother has plenty more."
He gave Qin Ling a warning look.
Receiving Jiang Lin's cold look, Qin Ling smiled indifferently.
After dinner, it was already dark.
Jiang Lin asked Qingluo to accompany Jiang Jin, and he took Huaiyin into the capital.
Zong Yu naturally wanted to follow, and Qin Ling also took the initiative to follow the three of them.
Seeing Jiang Lin was about to chase him away, he quickly said, "I'm just curious. I hate people who do such evil things. I have no other intentions. I won't cause any trouble for you. I can even help you!"
Zong Yu raised the corner of his mouth and asked sarcastically: "How can you help?"
He really disliked Qin Ling. Apart from the fact that he felt that there was something uncomfortable hidden beneath this human's smiling face, he also disliked the other party's attitude towards Jiang Lin.
Qin Ling was not used to seeing him, so he retorted, "If you can go, why can't I?"
Zong Yu sneered: "Do you think you can match the relationship between Jiang Lin and I?"
Huaiyin looked at the two of them inexplicably, and sighed in his heart: Master Xiaozong has indeed been with the master for a long time, and the whole monster has become more tempered.
If this happened to me in Lanruo Temple, I would encounter such a weak human being who challenged me.
Just slap him to death and that's it.
Why waste your breath
