Chapter 284: You Lied to Me…

In the courtyard, the three of them fell into silence.

It was mainly because the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Of course, the ones who were mainly awkward were Lin Xun and Lan Shanshan.

As for the instigator, Bai Luoxue, she was watching Lin Xun with her eyes blinking.

The young girl didn’t care at all that there was anything wrong with what she had just said.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

Lin Xun coughed a few times, acting as if he hadn’t heard Bai Luoxue’s words, and continued to ask Lan Shanshan for detailed information about the Huanxi Sect.

Lan Shanshan glanced at her Senior Sister, wanting to know from her eyes whether she should answer.

As it turned out, Lan Shanshan found that her Senior Sister was only looking at the stinky man in front of her.

Lan Shanshan sighed and, without any concealment, answered everything Lin Xun asked.

To Lan Shanshan, what did the intelligence of the Huanxi Sect have to do with her?

So what if she was a member of the Huanxi Sect?

If it weren’t for her Senior Sister, she wouldn’t stay in the Huanxi Sect.

From Lan Shanshan’s mouth, Lin Xun got a general understanding of the current situation.

Moreover, Lin Xun could feel that this Lan Shanshan had deep feelings for Bai Luoxue.

“You’re saying that the Sect sent you to investigate Bai Luoxue’s abnormality and then bring her back.”

“But Bai Luoxue didn’t want to go back, so you used the excuse of ‘going directly to the Rootless Secret Realm in two months’ to stall for time?”

Lin Xun summarized.

“That’s right,” Lan Shanshan said with an expression as if she were facing death.

Lin Xun asked, “Do the people in the Huanxi Sect know that you and Bai Luoxue have a good relationship?”

Of course. Lan Shanshan proudly raised her little chin. “Everyone in the entire Huanxi Sect knows that I have the best relationship with Senior Sister.”

“So that’s why it’s bad.” Lin Xun sighed, thinking that birds of a feather really do flock together; this Lan Shanshan was indeed a bit silly. “You’re thinking too simply.”

“What do you mean?” Lan Shanshan narrowed her eyes, and Bai Luoxue also tilted her head to look at Lin Xun.

Lin Xun rolled his eyes at Lan Shanshan.

“If you were a high-ranking member of the Huanxi Sect and you found that your Saintess had ‘abandoned her mission’ in Luo City and was instead selling tofu, would you send one of your Saintess’s confidants there?”

As soon as Lin Xun finished speaking, Lan Shanshan, who wasn’t completely stupid, immediately understood what Lin Xun meant.

“Exactly.”

Lin Xun explained further.

“When Bai Luoxue showed abnormalities, the Huanxi Sect had already begun investigating the cause, it’s just that there are no results for the time being.”

“The reason they let you come first was not just to have you bring Bai Luoxue back, but to use you to cover Bai Luoxue’s eyes and ears, making her lower her guard.”

“If I’m not mistaken, as soon as you left, someone else followed you to Luo City.”

“You need to return to the Huanxi Sect immediately, or head directly to the Rootless Secret Realm. I believe it won’t be long before those Elders of the Huanxi Sect come knocking on the door.”

“However, the first person they look for should be me, because to the outside world, I’m the one who fished Bai Luoxue out of the river. Your Huanxi Sect people will definitely come to ask me about the situation.”

“Did I cause you trouble?” Bai Luoxue looked at Lin Xun, her eyes blinking.

“You did.” Looking at the pair of extremely seductive eyes beside him, Lin Xun nodded.

“I’ll handle it for you,” Bai Luoxue said calmly.

“I’ll handle it myself.” Lin Xun tapped her on the head.

Seeing her Senior Sister’s head being tapped by a man, Lan Shanshan immediately sat up straight!

How hateful! Which man in the world wouldn’t want to hold Senior Sister in the palm of his hand for fear of her melting, yet you actually tapped my Senior Sister’s head.

And it looked super painful. Don’t you know how to be gentle with a beautiful woman!

However, Lin Xun didn’t care about Lan Shanshan’s actions at all and continued to speak sternly to Bai Luoxue, “In a moment, you leave immediately. Leave Luo City and head to the Rootless Secret Realm. After wandering around the Rootless Secret Realm for a bit, return to the Sect.”

“After returning to the Sect, just as Lan Shanshan said, explain to them that you found traces of me in Luo City, but the investigation yielded no results.”

“They’ve lived for hundreds or thousands of years, so they definitely won’t believe you easily.”

“But you are the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect and the future Sect Master. They won’t, and won’t dare to, make things difficult for you.”

“I’m not leaving.” Bai Luoxue shook her head.

“If you don’t leave, you’ll be breaking my peaceful life.” Lin Xun pinched her face in annoyance.

This was the first time Lin Xun had pinched her face; it was really tender and smooth, even more so than a freshly peeled boiled egg.

“Lin Xun! Put your hand down!” Lan Shanshan couldn’t take it anymore!

But as soon as Lan Shanshan finished speaking, Bai Luoxue’s small hand covered the back of Lin Xun’s hand, as if she didn’t want him to let go, her peach blossom eyes gazing at Lin Xun.

“Cough, cough.” Lin Xun withdrew his hand awkwardly. “Go get ready, we’ll leave in a bit.”

“Then you have to come with me too. You just promised me that as long as I told on Shanshan, you would go back with me.”

Bai Luoxue knew she was about to be driven away by Lin Xun, so she brought up the words Lin Xun had just promised her.

.

Senior Sister, I am wholeheartedly thinking of you, but how could you tell on me just for a man?

Could it be that our years of sisterly affection are not as good as this stinky man?

“That was Lin Xun’s promise to you. I am Lin Pei now. What does Lin Xun’s promise have to do with me, Lin Pei?” Lin Pei shamelessly played the rogue.

“You lied to me…” Bai Luoxue looked at Lin Xun.

“I did lie to you, so what?” Lin Xun wanted to bully her again, like pinching her nose, but he restrained himself. “Are you Life Qi?”

“Life Qi?” Bai Luoxue asked.

“Forget it, you don’t even know what Life Qi is.” Lin Xun sighed. “Hurry up and pack. I have some things to say to Lan Shanshan. Don’t look at me like that; I’ll be going to the Rootless Secret Realm too.”

Hearing Lin Xun say he would go to the Rootless Secret Realm, Bai Luoxue’s eyes blinked rapidly twice. “Then I’ll wait for you in the Rootless Secret Realm.”

“Sure, go on, go on.”

Lin Xun quickly sent Bai Luoxue away.

On the side, Lan Shanshan watched the interaction between Lin Xun and her Senior Sister, and her chest was already bursting with frustration!

How hateful! Why does this Lin Xun seem so dismissive of her Senior Sister? Are you even a man!

And Senior Sister too, why is she so obedient to this man? She doesn’t even know how to be Life Qi!

Wait, her own three-no Senior Sister indeed doesn’t know how to be Life Qi…

I’m so angry! As expected, I must take good care of Senior Sister, otherwise even if Senior Sister manages to tie down this Lin Xun, she’ll probably be bullied by him!

“What else do you have to say to me?” Lan Shanshan said unpleasantly.

“After your Master died, what is the current situation in the Huanxi Sect?”

Lin Xun smilingly picked up his teacup, but Lan Shanshan could clearly feel the Spear Intent surging around them, like a fierce beast opening its eyes in the dark night.

“Are there quite a few people who want to harm this silly girl?”
