"Brother Lin, I'm really sorry. Uncle An doesn't trust me, so he can only let you stay here with us. But don't worry, as long as I can leave, I will definitely repay you!" the girl said kindly.
"What are your identities?" Lin Haoming asked.
"I..." The girl was about to say, but she seemed to think of something and glanced at the man named An.
Lin Haoming saw her like this, so he said: "I didn't ask before because I was worried about getting involved in this kind of trouble. Now I ask because I have already been involved, so I can only deal with it as best I can."
"My name is Gong Xinzhu."
"Gong Xinzhu, who are you and Mr. Gong Xinlan of Tianmanfu?"
"We are sisters, but we are not born from the same mother. This time we came to Tianmanfu because my sister is here. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as I came out!" Gong Xinzhu sighed bitterly.
Although Lin Haoming knew that the other party's identity was not simple, he did not expect that he was so high.
"Haha, do you know Miss Xinlan?" At this time, the man named An spoke.
"I met her once, but I didn't know her identity at that time," Lin Haoming said.
"Have you actually met Miss Xinlan?" This time it was the man named An's turn to be surprised.
"When we were still in Xilin County, Feng Yuzhi brought her cousin to attend my concubine wedding banquet. It was only later that I found out that her cousin belonged to Mr. Gong!" Lin Haoming said truthfully.
"That girl Yuzhi is actually willing to take Miss Xinlan to your concubine. It seems that you have a very good relationship with her!" The man named An spoke in a much softer tone this time.
"It's indeed not bad. Senior should be a tribute to the Gong family, right?" Lin Haoming asked carefully.
"How can I, An Xingwu, be qualified to be a servant of the palace family? I am just the escort of the young lady!" An Xingwu explained.
When Lin Haoming heard that he was willing to explain, he knew that An Xingwu might believe him even more.
"How did you save the lady?" An Xingwu continued to ask, although he had more trust in Lin Haoming, but also because of this, he was even more determined to ask clearly.
"I have been ordered to be transferred out of Chigang City. Yesterday, the city guard Wu Jing held a farewell banquet for me. After attending the banquet, I felt a little bit concerned about leaving this city, so I wanted to walk around. Unexpectedly, I met Miss Gong.
"Of course, it was mainly because Miss Gong's appearance was similar to an old friend of mine, so I paid more attention. Unexpectedly, I found someone who wanted to kidnap her, so I took action!" Lin Haoming explained in detail.
.
"What? Have you seen someone who looks very similar to the lady?" An Xingwu asked with some confusion.
"Yes, that was two hundred years ago. When I first arrived here, in order to entertain me, the Gao family invited a woman named Gao Fangfang to perform a dance. The woman named Gao Fangfang was very similar to Miss Gong.
Of course, she looks older than Miss Gong." Lin Haoming said truthfully.
"Who can prove it?" An Xingwu asked.
"Actually, Mr. Feng Yuzhi also went to the banquet with me. Since you are all a family, you can ask her, but that Gao Fangfang died two hundred years ago!" Lin Haoming added.
"Dead? How did he die?" An Xingwu asked.
"It was suicide. At that time, Gao Hou of the Gao family planned to give Gao Fangfang to Xiang Shen's only son in order to please Di Shangcheng. Who would have thought that Gao Fangfang could not bear the torture of that person, so he chose to commit suicide!" Lin Haoming recounted.
"How shameless!" Gong Xinzhu, who was on the side, heard that a girl who looked exactly like herself died because she could not bear the torture, and her heart was filled with anger.
"Lin Haoming, if what you said is true, then we owe you this time!" An Xingwu did not notice the flaw in Lin Haoming's words, and finally made this promise.
"I won't say whether I owe you or not. I just want to be safe. Anyone who can attack Miss Gong is definitely not something that a small city like me can deal with! I just hope that I am too insignificant and they can ignore me!"
Lin Haoming shook his head helplessly.
"Brother Lin, you are such a person, you actually have no confidence in our Gong family!" Gong Xinzhu couldn't help pouting his mouth and scolding him when he heard this.
"Miss, actually what this guy said makes sense. I think you must have experienced a lot, otherwise you wouldn't have such a view!" An Xingwu said.
"I am an ascended monk!" Lin Haoming said.
"Oh! That's it. No wonder, I wonder how long you have been ascending?" An Xingwu asked with sudden realization.
"It's been more than two hundred years!" Lin Haoming said truthfully.
"What? You have already reached the stage of fetal refining in more than two hundred years?" An Xingwu couldn't help being surprised after hearing this.
"It's just a coincidence that not long after I ascended, I did a few things for the county magistrate, received some rewards, and advanced to the Dao Fetus. It took me more than two hundred years to just step into the Fetus Refining Realm!" Lin Haoming explained!
road.
"You are really humble. It took me five to six hundred years to advance from the molding of the fetus to the fetus refining. This is already considered outstanding. Unexpectedly, it seems that you are also the best among the ascended monks!" An Xing
The way Wu Zai looked at Lin Haoming was a bit unusual.
"Brother Lin, you are really amazing. Dad always praises me for my qualifications. It took me more than three hundred years to practice until I was born!" Gong Xinzhu also praised me.
"Miss, if you can practice as hard as Miss Xinlan, you can advance to the next level in just two hundred years!" After hearing this, An Xingwu felt that iron could not become steel.
Seeing that she was being scolded, Gong Xinzhu stuck out her tongue playfully, and then stopped talking.
Next, An Xingwu asked some questions related to Lin Haoming, and Lin Haoming answered them one by one. It was true, so he was not afraid of the other party asking.
After a series of questions, An Xingwu didn't see any flaws in Lin Haoming, and he had more trust in Lin Haoming's identity. However, what happened in the end would not be known until he went out and investigated.
What An Xingwu said before about recovering his cultivation was not a lie. After all, if he went out like this now, it would be easy to get into trouble, so he could only rest here with peace of mind.
In this case, Lin Haoming could only sit cross-legged and meditate. As a result, Gong Xinzhu felt bored by herself. Fortunately, she could understand the situation clearly and could only force herself to practice together.
Although Lin Haoming, who has the lowest level of cultivation, is a Dao fetus and can resist for a period of time without eating or drinking, he cannot go without eating and drinking forever, so he will eat something and drink some water every two or three days.
Food and water were prepared by An Xingwu, but although there was a lot of food, there was not much water. Fortunately, there was an underground pool deep in the cave. After a month, An Xingwu drank all the water on his body.
, Lin Haoming planned to go there to get some water.
They had been getting along for more than a month, and everything was fine. An Xingwu felt more at ease with Lin Haoming, and although he was injured in a small place, he still had no difficulty in getting the other person to the Taoist Realm, so he didn't care about letting him out of his sight.
