"You really want to bring others to see my joke, right?!"

His angry questioning made the old Taoist frown.

"Xiang You, calm down."

After that, he quickly explained it to him.

"This is a comrade from the Special Branch. He said there's a case he wants your cooperation in investigating. I brought her in to find out what it is."

What? !

Huo Xiangyou, who was very angry just now, immediately changed his expression when he heard these words.

He looked at the old Taoist priest, his brother Taoist priest Tianming, in surprise and doubt, unable to understand why he took the initiative to bring people from the special department in.

Could it be that he really is going to do as he said before and never care about himself again?

When I thought of this, the anger in my heart surged up again, mixed with panic.

He gritted his teeth.

"You're my brother. Don't you know whether I've done anything wrong? Tell me what investigation I should cooperate with!"

How can I not care about myself if I really want to?

No matter how you look at it, they are brothers who are connected by blood, and who is the reason why he has fallen into this state now? It's because of him!

Trying to escape from yourself? No way!

Taoist Tianming was not angry because of his brother Huo Xiang's attitude. Instead, he gave him a look that told him to be patient.

Seeing this, Huo Xiangyou finally reacted.

It turned out that his brother didn't want to abandon him, but had other plans.

Realizing this, the anger in his heart disappeared completely, and the look he gave Lin Xi became meaningful.

When Taoist Tianming saw his brother's reaction, he spoke to Lin Xi embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, my friend. My brother is in a bad mood and his words are not very pleasant to hear. Please don't take it to heart."

"But please tell me what case he's involved in, so I can let you take him away without worry."

Taoist Tianming’s words were very insightful.

After saying that, he gestured for Lin Xi to sit down and talk, and then he walked towards the tea table next to him, as if he wanted to pour Lin Xi a cup of special tea.

Everything seems so ordinary.

But the point is, his seemingly random steps were just walking, not setting up a maze.

Just when Taoist Tianming was about to take the next step, Lin Xi moved his fingertips, and a stream of spiritual power hit Taoist Tianming's calf like a physical entity.

He was caught off guard and was knocked sideways by the blow.

This step did not land on the original spot, and the formation was directly destroyed. It had to start over again.

However, Taoist Tianming knew that if he wanted to do it again, it would not be so easy.

Feeling the burning pain in his calf, Taoist Tianming immediately turned around and looked at Lin Xi.

When he saw Lin Xi's all-seeing eyes, he knew that she had seen through his plan.

The smile on his face slowly disappeared.

He didn't think that the blow on his calf just now was an illusion. The feeling of being hit by something was too clear.

However, he was very sure that Lin Xi did not hold anything in his hands the whole time.

From this, it can be seen that the power she used can only be spiritual power.

She was able to see through his maze and yet use her spiritual power so skillfully.

Her strength might be much higher than he imagined.

Taoist Tianming realized that he had run into a tough opponent. The wisest thing to do was to stop immediately and pretend that nothing had happened before both sides made their feelings clear.

But looking at the younger brother next to him.

He pondered for a moment, but still couldn't bear to watch him being taken away.

From the moment Lin Xi was certain that Taoist Tianming wanted to trap her in a maze, she decided not to waste any more time with him.

Regardless of whether he had participated in the zombie refining incident before, he was inseparable from this incident.

The next second, she clenched her palm into a fist and attacked Taoist Tianming.

The attack was as fast as the wind, carrying with it a powerful spiritual power that hit Taoist Tianming directly in the face.

Taoist Tianming's face changed, he stepped back with his left foot and quickly dodged to the side.

㰴 thought he could barely dodge it, but he didn't expect Lin Xi to react quickly, attacking suddenly and following closely.

There was a desk behind him, and Taoist Tianming had no way to retreat, so he had to raise his arm to block.

However, he didn't expect that this move would make him take a big step back!

Seeing this, Lin Xi stopped and stated the truth with an expressionless face.

"You are no match for me."

She had only used 30% of her strength just now, but Taoist Tianming was already struggling to cope.

She couldn't guarantee what would happen to him if he continued to fight her without knowing his own limitations.

Considering that Taoist Tianming had done countless good deeds before, Lin Xi didn't want to see him being beaten too badly by himself.

Taoist Priest Tianming stood there for a long time without saying a word.

Although he had only touched her once, he was already certain that Lin Xi's strength was superior to his, and much higher than his.

He was no match for her at all.

But if he didn't continue to resist, what would happen to his younger brother? He absolutely couldn't watch his younger brother being taken away.

And the scene of him thinking silently caught Huo Xiangyou's eyes, which became proof that he intended to compromise and give up on himself.

Huo Xiangyou was furious again.

"Brother, why don't you continue? She's just a yellow-haired girl. No matter how powerful she is, how powerful can she be? I don't believe that you can't even beat her after all these years!"

"Did you never intend to help me solve this problem from the beginning? You just did all that to deceive me?"

"Are you doing this to me and our deceased father? You clearly promised them that you would take good care of me for the rest of my life!"

Huo Xiangyou's questioning voice echoed throughout the room.

As soon as these words came out, Taoist Tianming raised his head and promised without thinking,

"Xiang You, don't let your imagination run wild. I won't ignore you, ever."
