After spending several days in prison, Lin Xiuyuan finally saw some movement.
A jailer came to the iron bars, glanced at them, and opened the door indifferently.
But Lin Xiuyuan's heart jumped. This tedious waiting process was not agonizing. As long as there was no movement, it was good news.
Because if there's any disturbance, they'll either be pulled out or dragged out and buried...
"Sir, I don't know what's going on."
Lin Xiuyuan respectfully cupped his hands, lowering his posture. If he had any magical power at this moment, he would definitely have opened his Qiankun bag and offered a pile of spirit stones.
Seeing Lin Xiuyuan's extremely uneasy appearance, the jailer smiled. He wouldn't have said a word to anyone else, but since this person was related to the Chen family, it was different.
"Don't worry, someone's coming to bail you out."
As the jailer spoke, he took out a token, activated it, and sent a beam of spiritual light into Lin Xiuyuan's body.
Instantly, Lin Xiuyuan felt a lightness throughout his body, and his magical power flowed naturally.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, and the gloom in my heart completely disappeared, leaving me feeling refreshed and relaxed!
"Thank you, sir! This is just a small token of my appreciation. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely host a banquet for you so that we can get to know each other better!"
Lin Xiuyuan immediately took out about ten low-grade spirit stones and handed them over.
The jailer didn't stand on ceremony and, without the slightest hesitation, put it into his pocket.
As for banquets and networking, they might be forgotten in the blink of an eye.
But how much real relationship can you build just by opening a door? Naturally, you'll only care about getting the immediate benefits first.
Lin Xiuyuan followed the jailer out of the prison located beneath the city lord's mansion. The dazzling sunlight shone down, giving him a feeling of seeing the light of day again!
Before Lin Xiuyuan could get a clear look at his surroundings, he caught a glimpse of a petite figure rushing toward him.
"Oh, I was so worried."
Soft jade in my arms, warm fragrance lingering on my teeth.
Lin Xiuyuan was taken aback, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his eyes. He also raised his hand to hug the soft and petite body, gently stroking her hair, and said tenderly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Besides, our troubles are completely resolved, so we don't have to live in fear anymore!"
"Um!"
Liao Cai'er's voice was barely audible, with a hint of sobbing.
Tears welled in her eyes, her face held a smile tinged with worry and joy, she wept with overwhelming happiness.
She hadn't seen Lin Xiuyuan come home for the past few days and was very worried.
This had never happened before; he hadn't been seen for several days. It was clear that something must have happened to Lin Xiuyuan, which made her restless and extremely anxious.
She had almost lost one of her brothers. Her only remaining relative in the market was Xiuyuan, who was her only support.
One can imagine how worried and anxious she was, and how sleepless she was all night!
Therefore, I mustered up my courage and went to Jinyuan Pavilion to inquire about the situation. When I heard Manager Chen say that everything was fine, I felt a little relieved and did not completely lose my composure!
Upon seeing Lin Xiuyuan in person, she could no longer control the emotions she had been suppressing and felt an urge to burst into tears.
At this moment, for some inexplicable reason, Lin Xiuyuan also felt the same impulse...
After embracing for a long time, Liao Cai'er finally let go.
Lin Xiuyuan patted her head with a smile and said, "Let's talk about it when we get home. We'll buy some good food on the way."
Liao Cai'er nodded, turned her head to wipe away the tears in her eyes, and obediently followed behind Lin Xiuyuan.
Shopkeeper Chen watched this scene with a smile, his expression subtly moved. He said with a laugh, "This scene is truly touching. Congratulations to Master Lin on escaping! I never expected that he would actually kill that late-stage Qi Refining thief on the spot. Masters truly deserve to be among the most powerful beings in the lower ranks!"
"It was just luck." Lin Xiuyuan bowed solemnly and said, "This time, thanks to Manager Chen's help, otherwise it would be uncertain whether I could have walked out of this prison safely!"
"I am deeply grateful and would like to ask Manager Chen to do me the honor of having a few drinks with me at Hongfu Restaurant."
At the same time, Lin Xiuyuan took out a Qiankun bag that he had prepared beforehand and handed it over.
Manager Chen watched this scene with satisfaction, but repeatedly waved his hand in refusal, refusing to accept it no matter what.
“Master Lin, since you are a guest elder of my Golden Fate Pavilion and a talisman genius who has received attention from our master, what is this little favor? There is no need for such formalities. It is good that Master Lin will remember this matter in the future.”
"I still need to go back and take care of Jin Yuan Pavilion, so there's no need for Master Lin to spend any money. It's nothing!"
Manager Chen said with a smile.
Compared to the immediate benefits, he valued Lin Xiuyuan more as a person.
A genius in the art of talismans, his future achievements are likely to be remarkable.
At least in Manager Chen's opinion, the possibility of Lin Xiuyuan becoming a spirit talisman master in the future is still extremely high!
With such a life-saving grace, how could we let this petty gain diminish it for no reason?
Wouldn't that be penny-wise and pound-foolish?
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan's mind raced, and he immediately gave Manager Chen the attitude he wanted, cupping his hands and saying, "In that case, Manager Chen, please go ahead and attend to your business. I will certainly remember this life-saving grace."
Shopkeeper Chen chuckled and said, "Master Lin, Fellow Daoist Liao, then I'll take my leave. As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, so I won't disturb your reunion."
These words made Liao Cai'er's cheeks flush instantly. Standing behind her, she secretly punched Lin Xiuyuan in the waist.
Lin Xiuyuan, who was just smiling awkwardly, suddenly showed a look of pain on his face. His complex expression was quite interesting.
Finally, Lin Xiuyuan coughed and said, "Ahem, Manager Chen, we're not... well, this is my sworn brother's sister."
Hearing this, and looking at the expressions of the two men, Manager Chen revealed a playful expression and said, "Oh, is that so? Then I've made a blunder."
A strange look flashed across Liao Cai'er's face, whether it was disappointment or relief.
Just then, Lin Xiuyuan saw Manager Chen walking away. Suddenly remembering something, he quickly called out to him, saying, "Manager Chen, by the way, there's something else I'm not sure if I should tell you."
Seeing this, Manager Chen's mind began to race, and he guessed at the reason, saying:
"Is Master Lin planning to leave this market?"
