Thinking of this, his gaze towards Lin Xi became complicated, and his heart was in a struggle.
Of course, he knew that the easiest way was to get his brother to cooperate with the investigation, so that once the suspicion was cleared, everything would be fine.
But he knew very well that his brother would never cooperate with this matter.
Because he can't stand up to investigation!
Since Lin Xi has already followed him, he must be determined to take his brother away.
The most important thing he needs to confirm right now is—
"My dear, I've heard of the Special Department, but how can you prove that you're a member of that department and are here to take my brother on an investigation? For example, do you have relevant documents or paperwork? Or do you have colleagues who can vouch for you?"
The old Taoist priest looked at Lin Xi with an expression that said, "He's just being cautious," as if he really just wanted to confirm whether Lin Xi's identity was true.
But Lin Xi understood the meaning.
The first was to confirm whether the people in the department knew that Lin Xi had come to see his brother, and the second was to worry whether there were any colleagues accompanying Lin Xi in Tianyun Temple.
Lin Xi pretended not to hear.
"It was a sudden incident, so I came here alone. But if the Taoist priest wants to see these documents, I can contact my colleagues and have them send them over."
When the old Taoist heard that Lin Xi not only acted on impulse but also had not contacted his colleagues, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After an inner struggle and making sure that Lin Xi was alone, he made a choice.
Suddenly, he looked at Lin Xidao with a hint of apology and guilt in his eyes, and said.
"No need. Since you are so frank, I naturally believe you. However, as my brother, can I first understand the circumstances of the case my brother is involved in? If it is convenient, please come with me into the house and have a chat."
As he spoke, he pushed open the door in front of him and stretched out his hand to signal Lin Xi to come in.
Lin Xi smiled, and walked straight into the room under his gaze.
A few hours after she entered the house, she felt a formation appear behind her, completely isolating the inside and outside of the house.
Lin Xi pretended not to know. After entering the room, he looked around the situation inside, and then he glanced at the middle-aged man sitting on the chair.
The man's face was extremely gloomy at this moment, as if he was angry about something.
When he saw Lin Xi, he questioned her directly with a cold face.
"Who let you in?"
That cold look was completely different from the gentleness he had shown when he was chatting with other students while climbing the mountain.
Lin Xi didn't say anything, but just looked at him and found that this person was actually sitting in the middle of a small spirit gathering array.
At this moment, strands of spiritual energy are constantly gathering from the edge of the formation into the man's body. If a normal person comes into contact with this spiritual energy, even an ordinary person can absorb a small part of it into the body, which can achieve the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life.
However, the spiritual energy gathered by the spirit gathering array was not absorbed into the man in front of him, but instead avoided him and walked around him, constantly circling within the range of the spirit gathering array, and would not get close to this man no matter what.
Therefore, even if he stayed in the spirit gathering array for ten or eight years, it probably wouldn't have any effect.
Seeing that Lin Xi did not reply, the middle-aged man was about to ask again, but he saw the old Taoist priest behind her followed in and closed the door.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man asked angrily.
"Brother, did you bring her in?"
