The car door opened, and a kind but dignified old man walked down, came to Xiao Chen, and politely extended his hand.
"Mr. Xiao, it's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you!"
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and shook his hand, showing doubts, and asked: "Are you the one who wants to see me?"
Although this was indeed the first time he saw the old man in person, Xiao Chen was no stranger to him at all and had countless images of him in his mind.
Of course, this is just what I saw on TV.
"Mr. Xiao is indeed extraordinary. It is the first time I have seen him so calm. Mr. Xiao is the only one in the world!"
The old man is not boasting, it is indeed the case.
Even if he had private contact with the great masters of the True Martial Realm, those great masters would show a little shock and be very restrained in front of him.
But Xiao Chen didn't do it at all.
For a young man who is less than twenty years old, not only his cultivation has reached an incredible level, but his state of mind is also so calm.
His future achievements will probably be higher than Duan Qingcang's.
"Team Leader Zhang, please leave for a while. I have something I want to talk to Mr. Xiao alone!"
"That's...okay!"
Zhang Caiwei seemed uneasy, but finally nodded in agreement and left.
Zhang Caiwei left, and the old man said to Xiao Chen in a very serious tone:
"Mr. Xiao, I invite you out this time. I need your help with something. Please agree no matter what!"
…
No one would have thought that a conversation that would determine the future would be held in such a remote alley.
Zhang Caiwei stayed outside, looking at the two of them from time to time, for fear of something unexpected happening.
After all, this time the chief met with Xiao Chen in private, and only he knew about it.
If something unexpected happens, he will undoubtedly become a sinner through the ages.
As for what the chief wanted to talk to Xiao Chen about, he didn't know.
After about half an hour, the two seemed to have reached an agreement. After shaking hands again, the two said goodbye.
Xiao Chen passed by Zhang Caiwei and did not say hello to him.
Of course, Zhang Caiwei didn't mind and hurried to the old man.
"Chief!"
"No need to ask any more questions, let's go back! Remember, you can't tell anyone about my meeting with Mr. Xiao!"
"yes!"
…
Xiao Chen returned to the Lin family, and the Lin family had been waiting.
"Master Xiao, are you okay?" Lin Xingcheng asked.
"It's okay!" Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "There will be someone to protect you in Yanjing from now on. The Song family will never dare to take any chances with you again."
Lin Xingcheng was startled and asked in surprise: "Are you really from that Xiao family?"
"What Xiao family?" Xiao Chen was confused.
"The Xiao family is one of the oldest families in Yanjing. I thought about it. You can only have such great power if you come from the Xiao family!"
When Xiao Chen heard this, he laughed dumbly and said: "Don't think about it, I have nothing to do with the Xiao family you are talking about!"
"This..." Lin Xingcheng paused and asked, "Then you said someone will protect us, who are you referring to?"
"His identity is a bit taboo for ordinary people. You don't need to know it. Anyway, with his protection, you Lin family can rest easy!"
Since Xiao Chen agreed to the other party's request, he would naturally ask for some corresponding rights.
This is a cooperation, a cooperation of equivalent exchange!
…
After staying at Lin's house for two days, Xiao Chen thought it was time to leave.
But when he was about to say goodbye that day, he found Lin Xuanying leading a girl in black into the yard.
"etc!"
Xiao Chen called them to stop.
He discovered that the girl was none other than the demon sword girl from Beiling Mountain.
The girl had always been expressionless and lifeless, but when she saw Xiao Chen, her face seemed to relax and she quickly walked to Xiao Chen's side.
She still didn't speak, maybe she couldn't speak, she just stood quietly next to Xiao Chen, staring at Xiao Chen with a pair of big black eyes.
"Hey, does she know you?" Lin Xuanying looked surprised.
"We know her, maybe!" Xiao Chen asked, "How did you discover her?"
Lin Xuanying said: "I found her yesterday. She was squatting outside without saying a word. I was afraid that she would be hungry, so I brought her in and prepared to give her some food!"
When Xiao Chen heard this, his heart moved.
Beiling Mountain is still a long way from Yanjing. This girl doesn't even have the ability to be independent. She probably can't even tell the difference between east, west and north. How could she happen to come to Yanjing and appear outside the Lin family?
"Is she looking for me?"
Xiao Chen thought to himself.
"Assuming that's the case, what information did she use to track me down?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel strange.
It is impossible for a girl to possess divine consciousness.
Besides, even if the cultivator's spiritual consciousness is tracking him, he shouldn't be unaware of it.
"You take her to eat first and help her take a bath!" Xiao Chen said to Lin Xuanying.
"good!"
Lin Xuanying walked over and tried to hold the girl's hand.
But the girl reacted quickly and avoided it all at once, shrank behind Xiao Chen, and pulled the corner of Xiao Chen's clothes.
"this……!"
Lin Xuanying made a helpless expression.
"Forget it, I'll go with you!"
Although Xiao Chen could not fully understand the girl's thoughts, perhaps after the death of Yoshiko Kuno, the girl had no relatives in this world.
She only recognizes herself!
…
As expected, wherever Xiao Chen went, the girl followed him.
Lin Xuanying asked the cook to cook some food, and then she and Xiao Chen ate with the girl.
The girl had obviously been hungry for a long time and ate voraciously.
Lin Xuanying looked a little distressed and asked Xiao Chen: "Is her... that a bit..."
Xiao Chen said lightly: "She is not stupid, she is much smarter than you!"
"No way?" Lin Xuanying glanced at the girl in disbelief, "She can't even speak!"
"Are you able to speak when you were born?" Xiao Chen asked back.
Lin Xuanying was startled and said, "You mean no one taught her?"
"It's not just that no one taught her, she has experienced things that ordinary people can't imagine!"
"What happened?"
"For example... test subjects!"
"test?"
Lin Xuanying was shocked. Who could be so unconscionable when using a child as an experiment?
"Xiao Chen, why don't you take her in? She seems to regard you as a relative!" Lin Xuanying thought for a while and said.
Xiao Chen pondered slightly.
If it had been before, he would have never thought of taking in the girl, but he agreed to the old man's offer because he needed someone.
The girl's heart is as blank as paper. If she can be guided, she can be his help in the future!
"Please give her a name!" Xiao Chen looked at Lin Xuanying and said.
When Lin Xuanying heard this, she knew that Xiao Chen planned to take in the girl, and she was also happy in her heart.
"Well... her last name is Xiao, Xiao... how about Xiao Yingxue?"
"Xiao Yingxue!" Xiao Chen muttered once, then nodded and said, "Not a bad name!"
"Of course... I'm pretty good at naming. Unlike my dad and grandpa, who used to name me Lin Xiaojuan, which didn't sound good at all. Later, I changed my name to Lin Xuanying!"
"Lin Xiaojuan doesn't sound good, I think it's good!" Xiao Chen said seriously.
"What's so good about it? It's very tacky, isn't it?" Lin Xuanying rolled her eyes.
Xiao Chen was too lazy to argue with her and said to her: "Go and boil the water first and help Yingxue take a bath!"
"My bathroom has a shower, and hot water can be put in directly!"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said: "I want a big bucket of hot water, not a shower!"
"Oh, okay, I'll get ready!"
Although she didn't know what Xiao Chen was particular about, Lin Xuanying still followed it.
…
Soon, Lin Xuanying had everything ready and took Xiao Yingxue into the bathroom.
"Xiao Chen, why are you following me here?" Lin Xuanying looked ashamed.
Xiao Chen said calmly: "You go out, I will help her wash!"
"What?"
Lin Xuanying thought she heard wrongly.
Although Xiao Yingxue is still young, she is still thirteen or fourteen years old. Don’t you understand the difference between men and women?
"There are a lot of messy things in her body, and I want to help her get rid of them! Go buy her some clothes, not fancy ones, but simple ones!"
"Oh fine!"
Lin Xuanying walked out helplessly, but there was always a knot in her heart.
Xiao Chen wouldn't take the opportunity to do bad things, right?
