Shen Xingyao turned around, frowned, and did not immediately respond to Lin Tongxi's request.
She first counted on her fingers, and nodded when she reached the bottom of her ring finger, then followed Lin Tongxi to a willow tree outside the yamen.
Lin Tongxi looked around and confirmed that there was no one eavesdropping before he began to speak: "I'm sorry, Miss Xingyao, my behavior was a bit abrupt, please forgive me."
"Young man, you're welcome. What should I call you?" Shen Xingyao asked first. Lin Tongxi then realized that he was so busy calling Shen Xingyao that he didn't even say his own name, which seemed even more abrupt.
"My name is Lin Tongxi, also known as Shuangmu Lin, Tong as in Shuangmu Lin, and Xi as in morning light." Lin Tongxi used his usual lines to introduce himself.
Shen Xingyao smiled softly and then praised Lin Tongxi's name: "Beautiful trees form a forest, harmonious with the light, and brilliant as the morning light. What a good name, young man."
"Uh... Thank you for the compliment, Miss Xingyao." Lin Tongxi actually felt that this was not a good name, especially the word "Xi" at the end. He had to curse every time he wrote it during an exam.
But my parents gave me this name, and everyone else says it’s good, so what can I do?
"Ahem, we're getting off topic, Miss Xingyao, I have something important to say." Lin Tongxi coughed, realizing that it was time to get to the point.
"Well, please go ahead, Young Master Tongxi." Shen Xingyao had a smile on her face, as if she was talking to an acquaintance, and waited patiently for Lin Tongxi to speak.
Although Lin Tongxi felt it was strange, he didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he told Shen Xingyao about the Soul Sacrifice Sect.
When Shen Xingyao heard the words "Soul-Sacrificing Sect", her calm face suddenly changed, and then she pulled Lin Tongxi away.
"Young Master Tongxi, could what you're talking about be related to them? Is it important?" Shen Xingyao asked in a low voice, pretending to be silent.
Lin Tongxi nodded, looking puzzled. Is it necessary to be so vigilant?
It seems that Chen Yunxuan didn't explain it clearly to me again, so I should ask a few more questions.
The only thing he knew was that Zhao Erfu was the incense master of the Soul Offering Sect, and that this so-called Soul Offering Sect was also plotting a big conspiracy.
As for what the big conspiracy was, Chen Yunxuan had no idea, he just asked Lin Tongxi to report Zhao Erfu's identity to Chengtian Academy.
Shen Xingyao led Lin Tongxi to a room and knocked on the door.
"Who?" Ding Hanling raised his sword, approached the door, and assumed a fighting stance.
"Senior Sister, it's me."
When Ding Hanling heard Shen Xingyao's voice, she felt relieved, but she still did not completely give up her vigilance.
When she opened the door, Ding Hanling discovered that an uninvited guest was following Shen Xingyao.
"Junior sister, why are you bringing him with you?" Ding Hanling looked at Lin Tongxi with suspicion in her eyes.
Being stared at by Ding Hanling like this, Lin Tongxi felt uneasy.
Shen Xingyao leaned over and whispered what had just happened.
Upon hearing that this matter was related to the Xianhun Sect, Ding Hanling put aside her doubts and welcomed the two in.
As soon as they sat down, Ding Hanling gave Lin Tongxi a warning: "I hope you know the consequences of telling lies. You can't talk nonsense about this matter, otherwise you know the consequences."
Lin Tongxi was speechless. He was actually quite happy to see such a beautiful woman, but the moment she opened her mouth, he was speechless.
Has no one ever taught her how to speak properly?
Oh, forget it!
Lin Tongxi suppressed his emotions and continued to tell the story of Zhao Erfu.
"Oh? How did you know that he was from the Soul-Sacrificing Sect?" Ding Hanling asked.
Regarding this issue, Lin Tongxi naturally would not tell the truth.
After all, Chen Yunxuan's current identity is still an abandoned disciple of the academy. Even if Chen Yunxuan believes in the two of them, Lin Tongxi does not believe it.
Trouble comes from the mouth. If they knew that Chen Yunxuan was still alive, Chengtian Academy would probably send many assassins to kill Chen Yunxuan.
Chen Yunxuan is his host, and it would be of no benefit to him if he died.
Therefore, Lin Tongxi lied and said that he had overheard the conversation between Zhao Erfu and others in Huxiaozhai.
He did not reveal Zhao Yongfeng's name. Once he revealed the name, if the other party found out about Qingshi Village... Chen Yunxuan would still be in danger.
It would be better to make up a lie and say that you heard it in Huxiaozhai.
Anyway, it is a fact that Lin Tongxi sneaked into Huxiaozhai, and Gan Xingfan testified to this.
It is not a problem to say Zhao Erfu's name. Although he is from Qingshi Village, he has taken root in Yuwan City.
It is unlikely that they will find Qingshi Village, and this person is important information and there is no way to cover it up.
As for whether they really heard it...others didn't follow Lin Tongxi 24 hours a day, so how could they know?
After hearing the man's answer, Ding Hanling stopped writing and continued, "Okay, I understand. We will pay special attention to Zhao Erfu from now on."
"Okay, Xingyao, let's see the guest off." Ding Hanling said, then sat on the chair and let Shen Xingyao take Lin Tongxi away.
"..." Lin Tongxi was speechless. How could this person be so rude? He came here with important information.
But Lin Tongxi had no choice but to unite all the forces he could. He then shamelessly stayed and stated his request: "Ms. Ding, may I ask your academy for help?"
Ding Hanling picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then answered Lin Tongxi: "We have received orders to stay in Ruihe Town to help Lord Gan. We cannot leave our post without permission."
"What if Lord Gan agrees to let you help me?" Lin Tongxi seemed a little impatient.
"Then ask him to come and talk to me." Ding Hanling put down the teacup, stood up and gestured to see him off. "Alright, Young Master Tongxi, please leave. I have important matters to attend to."
