Chapter 401: Thinking of Her as a Younger Sister… “Senior Sikong?”

Lin Xun woke up early. Upon opening the door, he saw Sikong Jing sleeping on a stone table in the courtyard.

What is Senior Sikong doing?

He has a wife but doesn’t hold her to sleep, preferring to sleep in the courtyard instead?

Could this be a quirk of the wealthy?

It was truly a bit hard to understand… Hearing someone calling him, Sikong Jing clambered up from the table, looking somewhat weathered.

However, when Sikong Jing saw clearly that it was Lin Xun, he looked even more weathered… Yet for some reason, seeing Lin Xun now gave Sikong Jing a sense of kinship.

Could it be because Ruo’er scolded him yesterday, saying he and Lin Xun were the same kind of people?

“Senior Sikong, what are you doing?”

Lin Xun asked.

“Oh…”

Sikong Jing wiped his face.

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Womenfolk can be unreasonable. We had a little spat by accident, but I won’t argue with her, so I came out to sleep for a while.”

Lin Xun: “…”

Lin Xun certainly didn’t believe it.

According to his experience, Senior Sikong must have been kicked out by Madam Sikong.

Otherwise, who would want to sleep in the courtyard?

“Cough, cough, cough… Lin Xun, are you leaving?”

Feeling as if he had been exposed, Sikong Jing coughed a few times and changed the subject.

“Yes… but before I go, I want to check if there are any major issues with Wang Xing’s Divine Soul, otherwise I won’t be at ease.”

Lin Xun had already examined his own Divine Soul last night and found no major issues.

The only thing that felt off was that his Divine Soul seemed to be connected to something.

He and Wang Xing had signed the “Concentric Knot,” so being connected to her was perfectly normal.

But it seemed that what he was connected to in his heart was not just Wang Xing, but another person as well.

If nothing unexpected happened, this person should be She Qiqi.

Lin Xun knew that She Qiqi would definitely play some tricks, so he had long expected this.

However, as long as she didn’t hurt Wang Xing, she could use whatever means she wanted on him.

Although Lin Xun also felt that She Qiqi wouldn’t dare to cross his bottom line,

he still didn’t dare to relax in the slightest.

Better safe than sorry.

So Lin Xun decided to help Wang Xing check her Divine Soul today before leaving.

Hearing that Lin Xun wanted to enter his daughter’s boudoir again, Sikong Jing shuddered all over… But seeing Lin Xun’s “innocent and pure” appearance, Sikong Jing soon realized he had misunderstood.

In fact, even though Lin Xun was married, Sikong Jing still thought he was quite a good man.

At least he didn’t hide anything.

Furthermore, in terms of appearance, Wang Xing’s beauty was on the world’s se jia ranking.

In terms of character, his daughter was capable in the parlor and the kitchen, dignified, elegant, and poised!

In terms of family background, Wang Xing was the princess of Tianji City and Sword Forging Valley; Sikong Jing really couldn’t think of anyone who would be richer than his daughter.

But even so, while Wang Xing deeply loved Lin Xun, he did not leave his wife.

From this, one could see Lin Xun’s devotion.

It was just a pity… was it really too late… For a man to have three wives and four concubines was indeed nothing much.

But his own daughter could never be anyone’s concubine.

“Senior Sikong?”

Just as Sikong Jing was still dazed and lost in thought, Lin Xun called out.

What is Senior Sikong daydreaming about?

“That… you go on in…” Sikong Jing waved his hand.

Lin Xun: “…”

Lin Xun felt that something was wrong with Sikong Jing.

The reason I told you was so that you would take me in.

Otherwise, how could I possibly enter Wang Xing’s boudoir alone… “Senior, how about we go in together?” Lin Xun reminded him.

“Oh… right… in that case, let’s go in together.”

Sikong Jing also snapped out of it and led Lin Xun into Wang Xing’s room.

At this time, Wang Xing was still lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully.

Sitting at the head of Sikong Wangxing’s bed, Lin Xun reached out and lightly touched Wang Xing’s forehead.

The next moment, Lin Xun’s Divine Sense entered Wang Xing’s Sea of Consciousness.

Based on his experience from examining himself yesterday, Lin Xun carefully checked every corner of Wang Xing’s Divine Sense.

After a full two sticks of incense, Lin Xun withdrew his hand.

Fine sweat had already broken out on Lin Xun’s forehead.

During this examination of the Divine Soul, Lin Xun only found a tiny red thread in Wang Xing’s Divine Sense.

The other end of the red thread was connected to his own invisible Dao.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

This was good.

Whatever She Qiqi did to him, he would naturally resolve it himself.

As long as she didn’t touch Wang Xing or cross his bottom line, then everything was fine.

“Is Wang Xing… alright?”

Sikong Jing asked.

Although he didn’t know by what method Lin Xun had saved his daughter’s Divine Soul,

as long as his daughter was fine, that was enough. Since Lin Xun didn’t want to say what means he used, he wouldn’t ask.

“Miss Sikong is no longer in any major danger, please rest assured, Senior.”

Lin Xun replied.

“Since Miss Sikong is fine, then this Junior will take his leave. When Wang Xing wakes up, please pass on the word, Senior.”

“You’re leaving already?”

“Uh… is there something else, Senior Sikong?”

Why stay if I’m not leaving… “No… it’s mainly…”

“Big Brother Lin… are you leaving…”

Just as Sikong Jing was thinking about how to explain, Wang Xing’s voice sounded from the bed.

“I’ll go see if your mother’s Qi has subsided.”

Seeing his daughter’s small hand gently tugging at Lin Xun’s sleeve, Sikong Jing only sighed and turned to leave.

This was also because Sikong Jing trusted Lin Xun’s character; otherwise, Sikong Jing wouldn’t let his daughter share a room with an unreliable man even if he died.

“How are you? Feeling better?” Lin Xun moved a chair and sat down beside Wang Xing.

The young girl nodded gently: “Mm.”

“Don’t worry too much,” Lin Xun took off his mask and smiled. “There won’t be any more trouble, and I’ll come back for the next Life Tribulation.”

“Mm…”

As if thinking of something, Sikong Wangxing pulled the quilt over her small face, her eyes flickering gently.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing the girl’s hesitant look, Lin Xun asked softly.

“Big Brother Lin…”

“Mm?”

Sikong Wangxing lightly bit her somewhat Pale thin lips.

“How does Big Brother Lin think of me…”

“How do I think…”

Lin Xun scratched his head, his eyes wandering as he thought for a moment.

“I think of you as a younger sister…”

“Liar…”

“Mm?”

“Big Brother Lin is lying…”

Sikong Wangxing sat up, as if using all her strength.

“Actually, Big Brother Lin… you like me a little… right?”
