Chapter 700 Truth Wants to Grow
Lin Yun thought that if he left Xiaoqing to look after the place, there shouldn't be any problem. Yuan Zihe was also tied up by Qiao Bian, so how could she escape?
Let’s ignore all these for now. Lin Yun quickly helped Zhenli up and reached out to untie her restraints.
But the body of the seaweed was quite tough and it was tied tightly. Lin Yun couldn't find the end of it, so he simply decided to use his sword to scratch it.
After a few slashes of the sword, there were no mistakes in other places. After all, Lin Yun's swordsmanship was at the pinnacle, so he wouldn't hurt anyone while untying the ropes.
But he was frozen after all, and he shook a little accidentally when facing the sword in front of him. He was not hurt, but he accidentally cut the clothes of Truth.
Zhenli originally had a look of despair on his face, but after Lin Yun cut his clothes, his face finally turned red.
She shyly crossed her arms across her chest, barely covering it up a little, and her face was still burning.
"Sorry, my hands are shaking."
"I know, it's okay."
The voice of truth is like the hum of a mosquito.
In fact, she didn't believe Lin Yun's explanation at all.
With Lin Yun's level of cultivation, why was his hands suddenly shaking? Moreover, it was not shaking anywhere else but here.
Zhenli felt ashamed and annoyed when she thought that Lin Yun had deliberately resorted to tricks to take advantage of her, because he obviously could have done it without resorting to tricks.
However, no matter how annoyed he was, Truth was very happy in his heart.
Lin Yun knew from her expression that she didn't believe it at all. To be honest, if he were in her shoes, he wouldn't believe it either.
But this time my hands were really shaking. I, Lin Yun, am a gentleman. Why should I use such despicable means?
Although he knew that Zhenli was not angry, Lin Yun still explained seriously: "My hands are really shaking."
"I know."
You know nothing!
Lin Yun forcefully held Zhenli's waist, stretched out his fingers, hooked Zhenli's chin, and said seriously: "If I want to bully you, I will do it openly like now, and I will never use such disrespectful means, understand?"
Zhenli was suddenly held in Lin Yun's arms. She felt panic-stricken and her eyes were dodging. But after hearing Lin Yun's tone, she was afraid that he would be unhappy. This time, she quickly explained, "I know. I just said that it's okay if you want to. Uh, no, I mean..."
The truth has become incoherent and doesn't know what it is saying.
Seeing her eyes full of panic and nervousness, Lin Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
I, Lin Yun, am truly sinful. It was clearly he who bullied Zhenli, yet I made Zhenli so nervous. I am afraid of making him unhappy.
Lin Yun felt really uncomfortable seeing such a good girl suddenly become so humble.
"Silly girl."
Lin Yun hugged Zhenli and let her lean on his arms, gently stroking her back to comfort her.
"I am the one who should explain. Why do you need to explain anything?"
In Lin Yun's arms, Zhenli seemed a little smaller, and leaning on Lin Yun's chest, Zhenli felt more secure than ever before.
I was very panicked at first, but now I feel suddenly at peace.
At this moment, her happiness was even stronger than before when she hugged Lin Yun.
"I misunderstood you."
Only then did Zhenli believe Lin Yun's words. His hands were indeed shaking. Indeed, with Lin Yun's character, he would never use such a trick.
Although it was a misunderstanding, Zhenli's heart was still touched.
She couldn't help but take advantage of the situation and put her arms around Lin Yun's waist. It was nice to just hold him like that.
However, Lin Yun felt that it was inappropriate for Zhenli to be hugged by him since she was wearing tattered clothes.
If Dongfang Hongyue sees this, she’ll probably go crazy.
He quickly said, "Change your clothes first, and then tell me what happened."
As he spoke, Lin Yun took out a set of spare clothes from the Demon Summoning Well.
After Zhenli put it on, it was a little loose, but it fit her just fine.
When she was changing clothes, Lin Yun did not realize that he should go out at first. When Zhenli saw that Lin Yun did not go out, she thought he wanted to see, so she started changing clothes with a red face.
Although Lin Yun reacted suddenly and turned his head, he could still see clearly what he should and shouldn't see with his keen eyesight.
My goodness, your brain froze when you should have reacted quickly, and you saw things you shouldn't have seen clearly at a glance. Does your brain have its own ideas?
Lin Yun was merciless when he complained about himself. Zhenli's face flushed, but she still sat beside Lin Yun obediently like a young wife, and did not want to escape because of shyness.
In order to ease the awkwardness between the two, Lin Yun quickly found a topic.
"Where's Xiaoqing, where's Yuan Zihe?"
Speaking of this, Zhenli felt a little depressed.
"Yuan Zihe was rescued by Hai Cao. Xiao Qing saw you practicing at first, so she flew out. After she came back and learned that Yuan Zihe had escaped, she went after her."
"seaweed?"
What is this, a new character that suddenly appears?
Lin Yun asked with some confusion.
"It's a piece of seaweed I picked up. It's actually a sea beast raised by Yuan Zihe. I'm sorry, it always wanted to save Yuan Zihe, but I didn't tell you."
Speaking of this, Zhenli also feels very regretful.
She knew she was in trouble again.
Since Lin Yun threatened Yuan Zihe, it must be because Yuan Zihe would be useful to him as a hostage, but she did not tell Lin Yun that she was carrying Yuan Zihe's sea beast on her.
Because she felt that if she told him, Haicao might not die, but he would definitely lose his freedom. And Haicao was not good at fighting, so he could not pose a threat to Lin Yun.
Based on this, the truth does not expose the existence of seaweed.
Because she felt that she liked Lin Yun, she would protect Lin Yun in her own way, but Haicao was also her friend, and she could not betray her friend.
She thought that by persuading Haicao not to take action, she could avoid causing trouble for Lin Yun and also avoid betraying her friend.
However, she still underestimated Haicao's loyalty to Yuan Zihe.
After all, he is inexperienced and behaves too childishly.
When Zhenli thought of this, he became even more sad.
She seemed to understand a little why Lin Yun didn't like her.
Because the people Lin Yun likes are strong and intelligent, and they will not cause trouble to Lin Yun. However, she has low cultivation, is timid, and is stupid, and she always causes trouble to Lin Yun.
"Oh, it doesn't matter."
Lin Yun showed a warm smile and said, "If I were you, I would make the same choice as you, so you don't have to feel guilty. Besides, I appreciate that you don't betray your friends."
Although these were words to comfort Zhenli, Lin Yun could indeed understand Zhenli's feelings.
"You don't blame me?"
Lin Yun's tolerance made Zhenli feel even more guilty. If Lin Yun was angry and scolded her, perhaps she would feel better, at least she was punished for her stupid behavior.
"Why should I blame you? I gave Yuan Zihe a chance, but she didn't cherish it. I didn't lie to her."
In the battle of the Four Kings, three of them were indeed his people. Even if we count the descendants of that emperor, Zhao Lingyu got the Jiuzhou Ding, so even if we count that emperor, she is also one of his.
Yuan Zidan might have thought that this battle of four kings was an individual competition, but in fact, it was a team competition, except that his team only consisted of him.
Lin Yun wanted to use the simplest way to deal with Yuan Zidan and make him surrender, but if they insisted on resisting, then they would just fight!
It just so happens that the Shura field is about to break out, and there is a suitable target to divert the conflict.
Why not set a flag that whoever captures Yuan Zidan's head can be made the queen?
Ahem, just kidding.
Zhenli was still very depressed. She felt that she was useless, incapable of accomplishing anything, and always causing trouble. Her master also told her that she could take on the burden of the Taiqing Taoist Temple when her senior brother was unable to do so.
She is so useless, not even one-tenth as good as her senior brother.
Thinking that he had disappointed his master, Zhenli's eyes were filled with tears.
But she tried hard to hold back her tears. She didn't want to cry in front of Lin Yun.
Lin Yun looked at her and suddenly thought of the many young people who were beaten when they first entered society.
Although Zhenli was not very strong, she should have been full of confidence and wanted to make her way in the world when she first came down the mountain. However, she had stayed in the mountains for many years and had no idea how sinister people were.
Being kind to everyone, but getting betrayal and hurt in return, at this stage, the truth is definitely denying itself.
Indeed, if one wants to survive in the world of immortal cultivation, this quality alone can be fatal.
To grow and become strong, you must give up your simplicity.
If it were in the past, Lin Yun would have taught the truth like this.
But now it's different.
Isn't the reason why he works so hard on his cultivation so that the people around him can live freely?
Just like now, even if the truth is wrong, he can cover it.
So what if Yuan Zihe ran away?
We just need to catch her back.
As a brother, it is my duty to protect the innocence of my sister Zhenli!
"You don't have to be sad anymore. Yuan Zihe can't run away."
Lin Yun could sense the location of his magic weapon, so it was easy for him to capture her back.
Zhenli shook her head and said, "Thank you. I clearly made a mistake, but you didn't blame me. Last time I almost killed Wang Wanqiu, and this time I let Yuan Zihe go. Don't indulge me like this. Perhaps, only when I receive the punishment I deserve and bear the consequences I deserve will I change my childish thoughts!"
Zhenli has not forgotten the mistake she made. Until now, she still feels guilty towards Wang Wanqiu, even though she has been rescued by Lin Yun.
But this matter has taken root in her heart like a thorn.
She was so kind-hearted that she wanted to save one person, but ended up hurting another.
If she did nothing and everything followed the path it should have, maybe things would be better. Just like the way of heaven, heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs, but this is the most fair and selfless love.
Seeing that Zhenli was about to get too stubborn, Lin Yun simply reached out and pinched both sides of her face and pulled them.
"Is this punishment okay for you?"
Zhenli felt a little embarrassed and forced a smile, but still looked listless.
"It seems that you feel that the punishment is not severe enough."
Lin Yun pinched Zhenli's chin and forced her to look at him.
Lowering his head slightly, Lin Yun bit Zhenli's lips, neither lightly nor heavily.
"If you make a mistake again, I'll punish you like this, how about that?"
truth:"!"
Lin Yun's lips were a little cold, but the momentary contact made her blood warm up.
"Okay, now that you've accepted the punishment, it's my turn to catch those guys who bullied you!"
At this moment, in the eyes of the truth, Lin Yun’s whole body was glowing.
Zhenli felt that his heart was about to melt, so he had no time to think about the way of heaven.
She just wanted Lin Yun to punish her again.
It was also at this time that a somewhat eerie voice came from behind.
"Punishment? Is this a new way of playing that you guys have developed?"
