The second lady waited until Li Changqing and the others disappeared, greeted Chen Lin, and then walked into the courtyard with the maid.
Chen Lin thought for a moment and then took steps to follow.
The other party must be covering for him for some reason, but it doesn't matter. It just so happens that he also wants to know about the situation in the Sifang City, so he can get in touch.
The maid closed the door, and the three of them walked straight into the inner courtyard without saying a word.
After arriving in a slightly shabby but clean room, the second lady turned around and looked Chen Lin up and down.
"Your Excellency is a little abrupt."
"Although our Zhou family is not one of the six major families, we still have a solid foundation. The guards in our family are all strong. You broke in so recklessly. Once your identity is discovered, I will not be able to control you."
Chen Lin was startled.
The other party seemed to regard him as someone else.
After thinking about it for a while, there was no explanation.
He smiled and said, "You are indeed careless. Please don't blame me, Miss."
Seeing that Chen Lin had a good attitude, the lady's expression softened slightly.
Then he said in a deep voice: "How sure are you?"
"Is this..."
Chen Lin didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing the straight wrinkles appearing on the square forehead of the other party, he immediately patted his chest.
"Don't worry, Miss. Since I dare to come, I am absolutely sure. But for the sake of caution, I would like to ask Miss to tell me the specific situation. It is best to formulate a more secure plan."
"Totally confident?"
The lady glanced at Chen Lin.
He sneered and said: "Are you people from the Shadow Sect so arrogant?"
Shadow Gate?
When Chen Lin heard this name, he couldn't help but think of it.
But he immediately denied it.
This is a mysterious place in the void world, and it cannot be related to the sects in the other world.
This Shadow Gate should not be the one from the seven major sects.
"It's not about being arrogant, it's all about strength. Miss, I'd better tell you first if the situation has changed!"
Chen Lin looked proud.
He just wanted to know the news here. He was not really the person the other party was looking for. He acted arrogantly to facilitate quick communication. After understanding, he left, so as not to cause trouble when the rightful owner arrived.
"You are so confident, I hope your strength is as strong as your tone."
The lady spoke calmly.
Then he said: "Things haven't changed much. Your mission is still to protect me openly and secretly find opportunities to assassinate Sun Xinglun."
"How strong is Sun Xinglun? Has it changed?"
Chen Lin asked again.
"There has been no change. He is still at the fourth level, but I don't know whether he has mastered magical powers. I cannot rule out the possibility."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Chen Lin pretended to be surprised.
Immediately ask: "If you had magical powers, which one would it be most likely to be?"
Since it is called a magical power, it must be an extraordinary means.
In other words, the aborigines of these Sifang City can use extraordinary power.
This is important news. When I checked the classics at Wanxing Pagoda, I didn't see any relevant records.
Chen Lin was secretly alert.
The news spread outside may be superficial, so we should not rely too much on it.
Seeing Chen Lin asking such detailed questions, the second lady's face actually looked better.
This shows that the person who took her task is a little crazy, but he is careful enough in his work and is more likely to succeed.
"I guess."
The second lady pondered for a moment.
"The most likely one is the Vulcan Fist."
"Although the third lady's family has no inheritance of magical powers, it is rumored that Sun Xinglun's mother is the illegitimate daughter of a former fire demon. She may have awakened the magical power of the Fire God Fist."
"Fire God Fist?"
Listening to this name, it seems that it is not much better.
However, Sifang City belongs to a world of low martial arts. As long as it is extraordinary power, it cannot be underestimated. The methods he can use are not very powerful.
"Where is Sun Xinglun?"
Chen Lin didn't ask about supernatural powers again.
As a member of the Shadow Sect, it stands to reason that it is impossible for him not to know this, and asking him will definitely make the other party suspicious.
"Sun Xinglun was appreciated by my father, and at the suggestion of the third lady, he went to work in Zizhu Forest. You don't have to take the initiative to find him. I will create opportunities for you. Just follow me."
Chen Lin's heart moved.
Zizhulin is recorded in local classics.
It seems to be related to a super family in the city. It is quite mysterious and is one of the places where rare treasures may be found.
The rare treasures referred to here are the kind that can be taken out.
But the power recorded in the classics does not seem to have the surname Zhou.
"Okay, then just follow the lady's plan. I'll just follow your orders."
Chen Lin didn't think about it any more.
Sifang City only opens once every ten thousand years. The forces inside have risen and fallen countless times, and the information from the past has long been lost.
However, the news about Zizhulin made him a little confused.
It stands to reason that when you encounter a place where rare treasures may be produced, you have to understand it at all costs, but he is an impostor. Once the real person from the Shadow Sect comes over, his identity will be exposed, and it will be difficult to deal with it.
After some weighing, Chen Lin decided to stay.
There are not many rare treasures in Sifang City. The more obvious ones have been taken away by explorers who came in before, so it is not easy to find them.
So now that I have encountered them, I should try to see if I can find them.
Moreover, the opening time of Sifang City is not fixed each time. The longest is no more than three years, and the shortest may be a few months. By then, they will be excluded. So hurry up if you can.
As for the person from the Shadow Gate.
It's okay if he doesn't come, but if he comes, don't blame him for being ruthless and making the other party disappear.
"May I have your name?"
The maid took Chen Lin to the side room, and Chen Lin looked for a topic.
"Sir, my name is Qiuxiang."
Facing Chen Lin, the killer of the Shadow Sect, the maid seemed very nervous, as if she was afraid that Chen Lin would kill her in his anger.
"Qiuxiang? What a good name."
Chen Lin smiled.
"How long have you been with your lady?"
"Don't worry, young master, I have been with the young lady since I was a child, and I will never betray the young lady."
Qiuxiang thought she understood what Chen Lin meant and hurriedly explained.
Then he said angrily: "They all bullied the young lady. That Sun Xinglun wanted to eat swan meat. He actually asked the third lady to propose marriage to the young lady. In the end, the head of the family agreed, without even asking the young lady. He did not regard the young lady as a human being at all."
!”
Chen Lin was stunned.
It turns out that the young lady hired a murderer for this reason.
"You ladies don't like Sun Xinglun. Do you already have someone you like?"
Chen Lin was at a loss for words.
The maid immediately shook her head.
"No, Miss, she only wants to avenge Madam, and has never thought about the matter of men and women."
"revenge?"
Chen Lin frowned slightly.
"She didn't tell you this information. Who is the enemy?"
"The enemy is the third lady!"
The second young lady walked in from outside.
She glanced at Chen Lin and said coldly: "The third lady used to be my mother's maid, and she and my mother were as close as sisters. But after giving birth to a son with outstanding qualifications, she always made things difficult for my mother, and secretly used tricks to make me
My mother had an accident, but she acted like a sister on the surface and thought I didn't know what was going on."
Chen Lin nodded slightly without delving into it.
These grudges have nothing to do with him, he is just a passerby, and I am afraid there will be no chance to come in again.
Seeing that Chen Lin didn't speak, the second lady continued to speak.
"If you can kill Sun Xinglun without revealing your identity, then I will continue to hire you to kill the third lady!"
"What can you pay me?"
Chen Lin became interested.
If the other party can come up with a treasure that can be taken out, then he really doesn't mind playing a guest role as a killer. He is not a good person anyway, and he doesn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he is not afraid of affecting the Taoist mind.
"what do you want?"
The second lady asked back.
Chen Lin paused and said: "I don't like ordinary treasures. The status of the third lady is not comparable to that of Sun Xinglun, and the price is very different."
"That's natural."
The second lady expressed her approval.
Then he waved his hand and said: "It's too early to talk about this now. Let's deal with Sun Xinglun first and let me see your strength."
"good."
Chen Lin agreed.
"But you have to hurry up. I have other things to do and I can't stay here forever."
"What, do you think the money is too little?"
"That's not true. Money is no longer attractive to me. I'm not short of money either."
"Okay, as long as you can complete the task according to my requirements, I will definitely give you the reward you want."
"Is it?"
Chen Lin came to the window and looked at the dilapidated yard outside.
He said calmly: "But I think the second lady's situation is not very good. I'm afraid it will be difficult to come up with the treasures I need."
He directed the conversation to the treasure.
Only things that can be taken out are of use to him, otherwise even mountains of gold and silver are meaningless.
"Don't worry, since I summoned you, I can naturally pay you."
The second lady put her hand into her embroidery bag, took out a string of sparkling bracelets, and presented it to Chen Lin.
"This is the ruby bracelet left by my mother. This bracelet can buy a house in the center of the city. It is considered as compensation for my delay in your trip. If the task is successfully completed, there will be better treasures for you."
Chen Lin only glanced at it and lost interest.
The bracelet is indeed beautiful, but the ropes running through it are all square, so it's not something that can break the rules here.
"Is your appetite a bit too big?"
Seeing that Chen Lin didn't answer, the second lady frowned immediately.
"I said, I don't care about money, but I want some strange treasures."
"You want an exotic treasure?"
The second young lady frowned even deeper.
His eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you planning on our Zhou family's spirit sword?"
"No."
Chen Lin denied it flatly.
He doesn't even know what the Earth Spirit Sword is, so naturally he won't covet it.
But having said that, if the Earth Spirit Sword was a treasure that broke the rules, he wouldn't be polite.
"I'm sorry you don't have the courage."
The second lady snorted softly.
He immediately said: "It would be great if you could really snatch away the Earth Spirit Sword. You can help me become the head of the Zhou family, or you can let me marry you!"
"I'm not interested in women."
Chen Lin expressed his attitude coolly.
The women here are all boxy, and no matter how elegant they are, it's hard to make people feel attracted to them.
The second young lady's face suddenly turned red.
Without saying another word, he took the maid and left angrily.
