Old Dao was now eager to take action, and he even started biting his own finger until it bled.
He practically shoved his fingers into Lin Da's mouth.
I reckon Lin Da overlooked Lao Dao just now, and Lao Dao is already annoyed!
Seeing Lao Dao acting so impulsively, I stopped him.
As of now, nobody knows what the inside of this house is like, so it's best to be cautious.
"Honored guest, please come quickly. You are a distinguished guest invited by our young lady. Please come this way!"
At this point, Lin Datou was in less pain, and his expression returned to normal.
It was as if he wasn't the one who was about to make a move.
Old Dao wanted to say something more, but I stopped him again. There was definitely something fishy about this.
I suspect that this guy's memory was tampered with just now.
But I don't know the specific reason. Maybe it's because of my golden scales?
After all, my golden scales were exposed when I resisted just now.
I smiled and quickly and politely followed Lin Da.
Just now, I remember Lin Da said that we were invited by the master, which means we are guests of the Lin family head.
Now, it has turned into the young lady's side, which proves that Lin Da's memory has indeed been tampered with.
So Lin Da walked ahead, and Lao Dao, Ant, and I followed behind. Lao Dao came up to me.
"Brother Chen, I feel like there's something strange about this place. Why did he suddenly stop making a move?"
The old Taoist priest reminded me in a low voice.
I nodded and told Lao Dao that Lin Da's memory had probably been altered.
"What! Memories altered!"
After hearing this, Lao Dao shouted, which startled me so much that I quickly covered his mouth. Fortunately, Lin Da didn't notice.
I cursed my teammate in my heart, and then briefly explained to Lao Dao before he cautiously nodded.
"It must be that their genes have been altered, and I suspect that this second young lady is very likely Lin Momo!"
I continued to explain to Lao Dao and the ants.
"Look at Lin Da's attire and speaking style, he's clearly from the late Qing Dynasty. We should be in an illusion, and this is probably a test for us!"
Worried that Lao Dao and Ant might cause me some trouble here, I simply told them that this was an illusion, a kind of test.
Upon hearing this, Old Knife and Ant breathed a sigh of relief, no longer feeling the fear they had felt earlier.
What I didn't say was that even if it's an illusion, if Old Knife, Ant, and I die here, then we're really dead.
I just want Lao Dao and Ant to relax and not stay so tense.
Lin Da led the way, turning left and right until we reached the east wing.
"This is where our three distinguished guests will rest. There are still three days until the young lady's wedding, so please do not go out during these three days!"
Lin Da's attitude was very respectful, but it was as if he was putting the three of us under house arrest.
Moreover, Lin Da just said that there are still three days until the young lady's wedding.
No wonder Lin Da took action just now.
Because I misspoke at the beginning, I said today is a joyous day.
"That's troublesome!"
I nodded politely, and then led Old Knife and Ant to our room, where a group of servants and maids were already waiting for us.
These maids were all as beautiful as lotus flowers emerging from the water, so tender and delicate that you could almost squeeze water out of them.
His eyes widened when he saw Lao Dao.
Moreover, it wasn't just Lao Dao; even the Ants were starting to lose their composure.
I was the only one who remained unmoved as I looked at these maids.
Through my third eye, I can see that these maids and servants are all made of paper.
However, these maids and servants are made of paper, while Lin Da from earlier was a real living person, which makes me a little confused.
The three of us were bathed and changed into new clothes with the help of the maids.
Needless to say, Lao Dao and I looked radiant and more energetic after changing our clothes.
The clothes the ants were wearing also caught my eye.
He used to look sleazy, but after changing into this outfit, he actually looks kind of handsome!
Originally, the three of us were going to go back to our own rooms, but I called Lao Dao and Ant to my room and then sent the servants away.
"He's not letting us leave now, but he hasn't restricted our movements within the mansion. You two try to find out what's going on!"
After I closed the door, I lowered my voice and gave Lao Dao and Ant a task.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." What I need to figure out first is the details of the Lin family mansion.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen, leave this to the two of us! We're just gathering details, not going to our deaths!"
Old Knife and Ant patted their chests and assured each other.
Indeed, normally, gathering information wouldn't be difficult for either of them.
But I stayed in the room because I had something more important to do: absorb the remaining power of the scales.
After entering this house, I felt that the power inside my body was getting out of control and was at risk of exploding at any moment.
However, with Lin Da present, I couldn't show it, and to avoid worrying Lao Dao and Ant, I also planned to keep it from them.
After Lao Dao and Ant left, I quickly sat on the bed.
The lightning sword also hovered in front of me.
"Lightning Strike Sword, protect me!"
I didn't ask about it, and I guess Lei Jijian didn't know either.
So I decided to let the Thunder Strike Sword protect me, and I took this opportunity to refine the energy within my body.
The lightning sword didn't say much and remained suspended above my bed.
However, this time, the Thunder Strike Sword was emitting a strong fluctuation, indicating that it was already prepared to protect the Dharma.
I sat cross-legged, sensing the energy within my body. What struck me as odd was that the source of that energy wasn't the golden scales.
It has another source.
On the contrary, the golden scales seemed to be resisting that force.
This made me feel a little fortunate that I had listened to Lei Jijian's advice this time and put the scales on my body.
Otherwise, without this thing, my fate would probably be very terrible.
Now the two forces have reached a balance of yin and yang. Through my clairvoyance, I have discovered that both forces are now stabilizing.
I adjusted my breathing and continued to maintain this peaceful state.
About half an hour later, the power within my body had completely stabilized, and my clothes were soaked.
Just then, Old Knife and Ant rushed in in a panic.
"Something terrible has happened, Brother Chen! Do you... do you know who the groom is?!"
After entering the room, Lao Dao spoke, panting heavily.
"Yes, it's Brother Luo!"
