"Liar?"
Su Lin chuckled, "Do I even need to lie? The smell of blood on you is so strong it could attract ghosts. Who's trying to fool whom here?"
He sensed something was wrong as soon as he entered the room. How could a room that was clearly being used as a warehouse smell of fresh blood?
Although the flavor was very faint, it was impossible for Su Lin, a seasoned veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years, to miss it.
"It really has absolutely no technical content."
Xiao Linlin sniffed and seriously criticized, "You people always like to play tricks like hiding in the dark, but you can't even find a good place to hide. Why did you hide in such an obvious place?"
Xiao Linlin found the script too clichéd and uninteresting.
What do you want?
The boy was none other than the fleeing Dugu Changshan. He stared intently at Su Lin, his eyes filled with resentment and stubbornness: "Go ahead and shout! Find someone to arrest me! I'd rather die than bow down to you hypocrites!"
"hypocrite?"
Su Lin tilted his head and shrugged indifferently: "No, no, no, you misunderstood. We're actually on the same path."
"What's the meaning?"
Despite the excruciating pain, Dugu Changshan grabbed the nearest rusty weapon and stared intently at Su Lin: "What exactly do you want to do?!"
First of all, do you know me?
Su Lin looked at the boy with a smile, while the boy sneered: "Son of the Lesser Zhou Tian Sword! An idiot who wields a knife in the Sword Pavilion!"
"Uh, am I that famous?"
Su Lin looked at Xiao Linlin helplessly, but Xiao Linlin's words were indeed sarcastic.
Despite being born into a leading sect in the martial arts world, he deliberately refuses to learn these top-level sword techniques and insists on wielding a knife instead.
To outsiders, what is this if not an idiot?
Many martial arts masters have sought a miraculous technique but have failed to find it, yet some people scoff at it.
"No, you're wrong!"
Xiao Linlin suddenly spoke up, looking at Dugu Changshan with a serious expression, and said in a clear child's voice, "My brother is not a disciple of the Sword Pavilion. You only believe the rumors outside, but you have no independent thinking ability. You are just blindly following others, just like those ordinary people. You are the idiot!"
"Don't be unconvinced. Think about it yourself... Is it reasonable for a noble family's son who wields a sword to emerge from Sword Pavilion? Wouldn't Su Qingyang discipline his own child strictly?"
Xiao Linlin's question surprised Dugu Changshan, as he had never seriously considered the question before.
After all, to him, this was someone else's business; at most, he would listen to it as a joke and discuss it with others occasionally.
Who cares about the affairs of other sects, and who cares what skills Su Qingyang's son learns?
At this moment, when Xiao Linlin pressed him with these questions, he vaguely felt that something seemed amiss.
"Think about it carefully, think it over..."
Xiao Linlin spoke softly, gently guiding her: "Have you figured out the key to the problem?"
Dugu Changshan slowly shook his head: "I don't know."
"Ah, that's right! You couldn't possibly know!"
Xiao Linlin clapped her hands, then lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "We know you're here, so logically we should have caught you. Why don't we immediately arrest you to claim credit?"
"That's because we're on the same path!"
"The same people?"
A look of surprise and confusion flashed across Dugu Changshan's face.
"Of course!"
Xiao Linlin raised her head and pointed to Su Lin beside her: "Let me introduce you, Su Lin! A disciple of the Sword Pavilion! These are just our cover identities. Our true identities are spies planted in the Sword Pavilion by the Netherworld Blood River Sect many years ago!"
"A hidden agent? The Netherworld Blood River Sect!"
Dugu Changshan trembled instantly, his eyes filled with shock.
Su Lin's lips twitched as he silently looked at the little girl beside him.
What kind of nonsense is this? How could they even come up with something like this?
Are you trying to turn this into a martial arts version of Infernal Affairs?
However, Xiao Linlin remained serious and mysterious, making it difficult for Su Lin to interrupt her performance.
"I don't believe it!"
Dugu Changshan realized what was happening, but his eyes remained wary and vigilant. He sneered, "You little brat, talking nonsense! You're just trying to pry the whereabouts of the Peace Stone out of me with your mouth!"
"Su Qingyang is a gentleman among swordsmen, his swordsmanship is near divine! His status is extraordinary! He is also a crucial figure in the Sword Pavilion! Could his son be a spy?"
"Do you really think I, Dugu Changshan, am a fool?!"
Dugu Changshan shouted angrily, but Xiao Linlin was not in a hurry. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Keep shouting. If you attract more people, you will be the one who will be in trouble later."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Changshan quickly shut his mouth, but still stared intently at Xiao Linlin.
Before he could speak, Xiao Linlin's earlier teasing soon came true, as footsteps approached hurriedly from afar.
"Two people, a man and a woman, very young."
Su Lin looked at Xiao Linlin. His feelings after practicing martial arts were very strange. It was as if the world was clear and bright, like having a cheat code. He could perceive many subtle information that ordinary people could not detect.
No sooner had Su Lin finished speaking than a young man's voice rang out from outside, demanding, "Who's in there?!"
Su Lin glanced at Xiao Linlin, who nodded silently and made a throat-slitting gesture at him.
"It's me."
Without turning his head, Su Lin replied to the person outside the door: "I am Su Lin, a disciple of the Sword Pavilion! I have found Dugu the Thief! We are currently in a standoff, please come and help me!"
"It's the biological child of the Little Zhou Tian Sword!"
The young man outside the door was immediately overjoyed: "He's spotted the thief, Junior Sister! Let's go help him!"
A moment later, the door was pushed open.
