Chapter 64 I Will Never Let Go
Lin Zhusheng withdrew an invitation to a fellow Taoist within the agreed time, and the invitation became invalid as agreed. After the invitation was invalidated, he apologized again.
Wu Qi didn't care about it and said, "Fortunately, I haven't gone to look for flowers yet."
The shadow of the tree fell on the umbrella, and the light and shadow swayed. He smiled and said, "It's okay to do anything, as long as it's the owner's wish."
“…”
Hearing the awkward name again, Master Lin, with a hint of apology, gave an elbow strike.
It was still early today and there were many disciples near the library, which was not suitable for the huge ancient ferocious beast to transform into its original form. His daily schedule of rolling in the furry sea had to be cancelled regretfully.
Since he was already there, he paid a visit to the manager of the library and gave him the herbs he had found in the mountains.
At this time, don't forget to improve your favorability.
After delivering the gift, between going back to his senior brother and going back to the peak to meet the old man, he chose to go find his eternal friend Zhang Jing.
No one in the sect practiced sword fighting today. As expected, the little friend stayed in his room and continued to draw spells as usual.
When we were neighbors before, neighbor Lin rarely walked through the front door, and it is still the same now. He climbs through the window skillfully, and while climbing, he greets his friend who is sitting at the table with a pen in his hand, and lets the kitten go to play in the bamboo forest next to him.
Zhang Jing was once again being climbed through the window. His eyebrows jumped up and the pen in his hand almost broke in two. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What are you doing here again?"
"I was afraid you'd be lonely, so I came to play with you."
Lin Zhusheng smiled and rolled in, found a seat and sat down. He also poured himself a cup of tea to prevent his friends from having to fight. He was very considerate.
Every time he came here, he was like a thief. Some of the talismans he had drawn would be taken away. The first thing Zhang Jing did was to collect the talismans that were casually spread on the table as soon as he sat down, and he was on guard without any concealment.
As perceptive as Lin Zhusheng was, he noticed it immediately and took out some fruit snacks while accusing him, "Who do you think I am?"
Zhang Jing ignored him and put away the talisman. After calming down, he picked up the pen again and asked, "So, why did you come to see me this time?"
After studying with the Fifth Elder, his ability to draw talismans increased dramatically. The intermediate talismans that were difficult for him to draw before can now be easily drawn, and he has also learned a lot of advanced talismans. The talismans he draws are becoming more and more complicated, and the patterns on them have developed to the point where Lin, who is not good at handwork, cannot see them.
After taking a few more glances, Lin Zhusheng said, "I want to consult you about something."
Zhang Jing was multitasking, his hands moving non-stop, waiting for him to continue.
"Well, I have a friend."
Lin Zhusheng first took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then rubbed his hands and said, "Then my friend has a very good friend A."
"The two of them originally had a very good relationship, a normal one. But then they both... well, it was like they didn't drink all the Meng Po soup, and they both remembered things from their past lives."
The two people were serious Taoist couples who swore a vow of unity in their previous life. Friend A still seems to like Friend A and obviously wants to continue their Taoist couple relationship, but Friend A does not have that intention and is now in a very confused state.
After reshaping the facts and briefly telling the story, he rubbed his hands again and asked his friend: "What do you think my friend should do now?"
The friend turned his eyes and responded with a simple sentence: "What strange book did you read?"
The story sounded so fake that Zhang Jing didn't believe it at all.
Feeling that his words were doubted, Lin Zhusheng took a bite of the fruit, his cheeks puffed up from chewing, waved his hand holding the fruit, and said, "Seriously."
He seemed determined to continue the conversation. Zhang Jing temporarily stopped drawing the talisman, took a snack and put it in his mouth under the expectant gaze, and said concisely: "If you don't mean it, just refuse."
Even if you have sworn an oath of love, that was from your previous life and has nothing to do with this life. If you want to refuse, just refuse directly.
Lin Zhusheng waved his hands quickly, "Wouldn't Friend A be very sad if I rejected him?"
Zhang Jing then changed his tone, "Then I agree."
His perfunctory attitude was too obvious, so Master Lin, who was very good at hand and foot skills, elbowed him and said, "Be serious."
After being elbowed, Zhang Jing swallowed the snack in his mouth, closed his eyes and wiped his face, finally turned around, tried a little to look serious, and said, "What does your friend think of Friend A?"
The more he spoke, the more strange the name seemed to him, and his brows twitched slightly.
"How do you see it?" Lin Zhusheng scratched his head. "Of course he is a very good person."
Sighing, Zhang Jing said, "I think it's great, so why don't you want to become a Taoist couple?"
It was a very simple question, but it stumped Master Lin, who was quick-witted.
Yes, why.
There seemed to be no special reason. He did not reject the senior brother, nor did he reject having a Taoist partner. Or it seemed that he had never thought of refusing to form a Taoist partner. He was just a little confused.
After racking his brain for a long time, he finally said truthfully: "He doesn't know either."
After taking a sip of tea, Zhang Jing picked up the pen and started drawing the talisman again. He continued to make up nonsense and said, "Has your friend had any contact with Friend A recently? Has there been any physical contact?"
After taking a sip of tea strategically, Lin Zhusheng raised his hand and touched the corner of his lips inconspicuously, "Yes, maybe we kissed each other once."
It was indeed recent, we just kissed yesterday.
"?"
It's strange that you are still struggling over whether to form a Taoist partner even at this point. Zhang Jing's hand holding the pen almost tilted, and he asked a somewhat presumptuous question: "Storybook... Is your friend a casual person?"
Lin Zhusheng quickly denied it, and quietly affirmed himself, "My friend is quite self-disciplined."
He was the one who dodged kisses from his former friends with 100% accuracy several times, and he thought he had some skills.
He is chaste but can accept intimate contact. He also thinks Friend A is a good person and there is no reason why they cannot become Taoist partners. Zhang Jing said succinctly: "If this isn't the end, what are you waiting for?"
Feeling that this little friend inexplicably exuded the aura of a master, Lin Zhusheng carefully asked, "So what do you mean?"
When it came to the most important stage, Master Zhang stared at the talisman in his hand without turning his head, and said casually: "If it were you, would you contact someone you don't like like this? If you like it, agree, if you don't like it, refuse."
“……!”
His eyes slowly opened wide, and his mind, which had been wandering around in circles, suddenly closed up, as if it had been powered up. Holding the teacup in his hand, Master Lin sat up straight unconsciously.
With the last stroke, a complete talisman took shape, and Zhang Jing finally put down the pen in his hand. He didn't hear the person next to him talking for a long time. He turned his head and only had time to see the lifted hem of a shirt and long white hair.
The person who was originally sitting next to me turned around and climbed back onto the windowsill. He thanked me as he climbed and said he had something to do and had to leave first.
The man walked too fast and fell out in the blink of an eye. When he followed him to the window, he just saw the man who had picked up the kitten in the bamboo forest behind him and left while sitting on the big sword.
The figure left quickly, and he could only lean on the window sill and shout loudly: "Use the front door next time!"
The man on the sword flew away even faster. Zhang Jing's eyebrows jumped.
The long sword swept across the clouds, and Lin Zhusheng flew straight to the sect master's peak to find his senior brother.
The familiar courtyard remained the same as it was when he left, remaining closed to visitors yesterday. The gate was shut tightly, and passers-by only took a few longer looks at the things they were holding, then left with their things in their arms.
Because he got up early in the morning and knew that the people inside were no longer resting, he didn't have the concerns like last time and just pushed the door open and went in.
There was a slight sound when the door opened, and the hem of a person's clothes brushed against the green grass on both sides of the bluestone road. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw people practicing sword in the sword field.
As if they didn't expect him to come back after leaving in the morning, the people in the sword field paused, surprised at first, and then the sword flashed and the long sword was sheathed. The figure walked towards this side quickly, with a smile at the corner of his eyes, and said: "You are back."
He walked towards this side, and Lin Zhusheng also slowly walked towards the sword field. After responding, he said as he walked that the agreement with Wuqi was invalid.
The movement slowed down slightly and then quickened, and Wen Baizhou walked closer.
The distance between them gradually shortened. Before anyone could speak, Lin Zhusheng smiled and said, "I've thought about my Taoist partner."
“…”
The moment he said this, the eldest senior brother who was walking towards him stopped and stood still at a distance not too far away. His hand, which was casually resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist, unconsciously tightened the hilt.
The sound of leaves rustling and birds singing seemed to disappear in an instant.
In the endless silence, Lin Zhusheng raised his eyes and said, "I'm sorry!"
The morning sun was shining brightly, and a slightly warm breeze blew through the bamboo forest, but the air in the space seemed to be stagnant, not a single bit of warmth could penetrate, leaving only the sound of the suddenly trembling heartbeat. The person not far away suddenly tightened his hand on the sword, and his fingertips turned white.
After beginning with an apology, Lin Zhusheng continued: "I have been thinking about it since yesterday, and the matter of the Taoist partner is indeed..." As expected, he is still very sorry.
If he had known this would happen earlier, he would not have dared to cancel the account and leave the person alone for so long.
He couldn't utter the rest of the words.
He was halfway through his words, before he had even started to say what he really wanted to say, when a gust of wind blew up beside him, and the person who was originally standing at a distance quickly came to his side, raised the hand that was on the sword and covered his mouth.
Suddenly muted physically, Lin Zhusheng: “?”
It was obvious what the apology was about, so obvious that one couldn’t even deceive oneself. With one hand covering his mouth and the other hand buried deep in the long white hair that fell on the back of the person's neck, Wen Baizhou could not and dared not listen any further.
He knew that this day might come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
He bent down and buried his head in the shoulders and neck of the person with snow-white hair. His hand fell on the back of the person's neck and finally clasped the waist of the person in front of him. He whispered, "Don't say it yet, don't tell me."
A familiar smell filled his nose. He took a deep breath and said, "I have to go back home in two days. Maybe we can talk about it when I come back?"
The sound that fell into his ears seemed to tremble, not as steady as usual. Lin Zhusheng turned his eyes to the side, feeling as if he had heard it wrong.
But people don’t want to say it now, but it’s obviously true. He was not in a hurry to tell. There was no rush. As long as the other party wanted, he could tell him later. So he nodded slightly.
After confirming that he really had no intention of continuing to speak, the hand covering his mouth finally slowly loosened.
He had to go back. If he remembered correctly, the Jianmen family where he was located was quite a distance away from the sect, which was equivalent to a long journey.
The tea brewed by the eldest senior brother was quite delicious. Originally, Chalin wanted to have a sip of tea here after finishing his business before leaving. However, since they were going on a long journey, they would need to pack a lot of things. So he did not disturb them and quickly decided to go to Jingsi Hall to drink the tea brewed by the old man.
The hand on his waist loosened, he took two steps back, waved his hand, and said, "Then I'll leave first. We can talk about it when Senior Brother comes back."
He really meant what he said. He left with the kitten in his arms and walked out of the yard gate under the gaze of the people behind him.
When I was leaving, I happened to meet my boss whom I hadn't seen for a while. He greeted me while taking out a big sword.
The boss was surprised to see him here. He also greeted him, calling him "Little Friend Lin".
The man on the sword left, and the boss stepped into the yard gate before the gate was closed.
When he entered, he saw people standing in the yard. He waved his hand and said, "I am not disturbing you, am I?"
Wen Baizhou turned around and walked back towards the sword field.
It looked like something had happened. A curious heart was about to move, but today at least he came to ask other things, so the boss didn't ask much and followed him to the sword field. By the way, he said that on the way here, he saw many people who were stopped by the disciples guarding the mountain and tried to come here.
Having been stopped means that he will not appear here. Wen Baizhou didn't care about it and sat down at the edge of the sword field.
"Guiyu City is now managed by two nearby sects. There is a bit of unrest, but not much."
The boss sat down on the side and took a closer look at the man next to him who now looked quite calm and normal. He could not imagine that this man had jumped across a certain level to kill the Lord of Guiyu City.
The scene was covered in blood and it was hard to tell whose it belonged. The elders who went there were all horrified when they saw it.
Before, when he saw people killing monsters across levels, he thought it was the limit. He didn't expect that they could kill the city lord across a large level. Once again, he realized that people could be so brave. Pulling a piece of grass nearby and putting it in his hand, he asked, "Why did you do this this time?"
As long as there is a clue about the city lord, there is no need to go alone like this time. It is obviously safer to inform the sect and then find a solution.
"I don't want to be safe, I want to be absolutely sure."
From informing the sect to finding out the evidence and then to the final action, problems could occur at any link in the process, and once discovered by the city lord, he could be blamed at any time. Wen Baizhou does not allow any stain on himself.
He didn't look like someone who cared that much about his reputation. The boss was a little surprised and asked, "Why?"
The Heart-shaped Jade slipped from his sleeve to his palm and was held tightly. Wen Baizhou looked down at the pure and pure jade and said, "Only a pure and innocent one is worthy of him."
The boss didn't refute this time, but nodded, "Indeed."
A sincere and pure person should not be associated with these stains in any way. In addition, judging from the temper of the other master, if he wants to become a Taoist partner with that beloved disciple, he will probably be kicked off the mountain if he gets a little dirty.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, rubbing the grass leaves in his hand, looking at the person sitting next to him, and gloatingly said: "The Great Elder is raising you as his own son. If you want to pass him, you should have a long way to go."
“…”
Thinking of the sorry he had just said, Wen Baizhou said nothing and just slowly stroked the concentric jade in his hand.
He didn't say anything, so the boss continued, "I have a friend in the Weapon Sect who said that the young sect leader has been studying weapon forging recently and seems to want to forge a sword to give to someone."
Throwing away the grass leaves in his hand that had been rubbed into a mess, he turned around and asked curiously, "If Lin Xiaoyou became a Taoist partner with someone else one day, what would you do?"
The shadows of the trees swayed, and Wen Baizhou said, "If the other party treats him well, as long as he is satisfied, that's fine."
"What about the truth?"
Slowly tightening the jade in his hand, Wen Baizhou whispered: "I will never let go."
