Chapter 144 Returning the Token of Love to Jiang Sihan
Senior Brother Yin Li would help her with this. She suggested this because she didn't want anyone to think the Sect Master was partial to her. It was just confinement. After a few days, Han Yun would be the first to confess.
She knew very well his cowardly and incompetent character.
"Is it Yan Chuhua, Yan Yao, or Jianhui?" Lin Xuxi pondered, but could not find a reasonable answer.
If it was Yan Chuhua, he wouldn't have come up with such a plan full of mistakes and loopholes. Lin Xuxi knew this. Jian Hui was timid. He could kill people when the situation was favorable, but it was hard to say whether he would take the initiative to set up a trap. So, was it Yan Yao?
Sitting for a long time was boring, so she simply closed her eyes and began to practice. At the Spiritual Transformation stage, she could start practicing just by thinking about it.
Han Yun, who was also thrown into the confinement room, was not so calm. He didn't know what the outside world was like. Jian Hui brought his disciples to make trouble.
"You killed me!" Han Yun was upset and sat on the ground. He was thinking that if all else failed, he would betray Jian Hui, so that he might not be kicked out.
Lin Xuxi closed her eyes and hummed softly a nursery rhyme that her mother used to sing, feeling quite comfortable.
"If you didn't know, you would think Master Lin was just drinking happily, but he actually hummed a song."
Lin Xuxi suddenly opened her eyes, sat up straight, and looked towards the small window. Through the small window, she saw Tao Fengzhi with a smile on his face. However, his face was still flushed, which must have been because he ran in.
I'm afraid I won't be able to use the spiritual crane when entering the confinement room.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Lin Xuxi asked through the window with a smile, "I won't be running around. It's quite relaxing to be locked up here. I don't have to see people I don't want to see."
"Don't tell me, Master Lin doesn't even want to see me?" Tao Fengzhi asked with a smile. After hearing this, he swallowed back the words that there were disciples waiting for him outside, and didn't mention Master Lin's displeasure.
He smiled only to cover up his inner anxiety and worry. When he learned that Master Lin was locked up, he just wanted to fly to her side. She must have been wronged.
"Aren't you leaving?" Lin Xuxi refused to answer and asked instead.
"I was originally going to leave, but I encountered some things on the way. Later, I heard from Fellow Daoist An that you were locked up. How could I dare to leave after hearing this?" I was worried.
Tao Fengzhi took out a cushion and put it on the ground, then sat down and asked, "What's going on?"
"It's just some small things." Lin Xuxi smiled and shook her head. "It's just some small tricks. I'll have a few days of peace and quiet and catch the murderer, then I'll leave."
Hearing this, Tao Fengzhi couldn't help but remind him, "The thunder tribulation that will break the contract hasn't been overcome yet."
It was strange. It had been almost a month, and the thunder tribulation hadn't arrived yet. Could it be because Jiang Sihan was practicing the ruthless way?
"Yeah." When talking about this, the smile on Lin Xuxi's face faded a little.
Tao Fengzhi took out a bunch of grapes, placed them on a sky-blue porcelain plate, and passed it to him through the small mouth. He smiled and said, "Master Lin, if you have nothing to do, please taste this fruit for me to see if it is sweet."
The deep purple grapes served on a sky-blue porcelain plate have a unique flavor.
"It's been a long time since I last saw Grape from the human world." Lin Xuxi didn't shy away. Since she had nothing to do, she might as well talk to him.
She felt that Tao Fengzhi was a tactful and interesting person to talk to.
"My mother said this is summer black grapes, her favorite. They're not available outside of the Tao family." Tao Fengzhi explained with a smile, "This grape is good because it's sweet and has a special flavor. Try it."
Lin Xuxi picked one with her bare hands. Feeling that it was a little dark in the confinement room and she couldn't see the grape clearly, she took out a light and observed it carefully.
"It is indeed different." When peeling the grapes, I found that the skin was particularly easy to peel. There was a special fragrance in the mouth, but I couldn't tell what it was.
"It's delicious and sweet." Lin Xuxi also liked it and said with a smile, "The first owner of Jinbao Pavilion was really a wonderful person. He actually has such good things."
Tao Fengzhi patted his palm with his folding fan and replied, "That's right." He had a charming smile and affectionate eyes.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Even the eloquent man fell silent. He just watched Master Lin eat the grapes, his scallion-like fingertips stained with the rich purple juice and slowly moved down.
Lin Xuxi ate grapes and ate a few more because she liked them.
He looked up and found Tao Fengzhi staring at him in a daze. He felt a little strange and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm watching Master Lin, watching Master Lin eating grapes." Tao Fengzhi said as he unfolded his folding fan to cover his slightly red cheeks, revealing only a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes.
“These grapes look delicious.”
"Yes, it's good." Lin Xuxi had eaten enough of the few. Just as she was about to take a handkerchief to wipe her hands, a white handkerchief was handed in. She glanced at the handkerchief and then at Tao Fengzhi.
Tao Fengzhi teased, "Why, what are you afraid of me putting down?"
"Nonsense." Lin Xuxi, the elder, scolded the younger generation for their mischievous behavior, took the robe and wiped his fingers carefully.
"White wrists, red skin, jade bamboo shoots." For some reason, Tao Fengzhi chanted this line. He was mesmerized and stunned.
This was considered teasing to Lin Xuxi. She suddenly turned cold and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I am your elder."
Tao Fengzhi argued, "How can he be an elder? The Sect Master is good friends with my father, and Master Lin is the Sect Master's disciple, while I am his son. Logically speaking, we are peers, so how can I be a junior?"
If he was Zhou Jingyue's friend, they were equals, but that didn't necessarily mean they were different. He was a businessman, so he would say whatever was beneficial.
Lin Xuxi didn't want to argue with him about this matter, so she stopped talking and deliberately left him alone.
"Master Lin?" Tao Fengzhi also realized that his words had just slipped up, so he took the initiative to soften the blow and said with a smile, "I heard that Master Lin can play the flute. Could you play a tune for me? It's that little tune you just played. It's very nice."
"Now, you're calling yourself a junior again?" Lin Xuxi didn't want to pursue the man's words. She just thought he was playing a song for the junior, and let him hear it.
After all, Tao Fengzhi did help her a lot. Even if it was just seeking asylum, he did a lot.
Lin Xuxi took out the jade flute and rubbed it in her palm before sighing, "This flute was actually given to me by Jiang Sihan. It originally had a willow leaf-shaped jade pendant on it."
She has two flutes, one was given to her by the sect leader, and this one was carved for her by Jiang Sihan himself.
Now that I take it out, I feel quite emotional.
"I don't want to listen anymore!" When Tao Fengzhi heard that it was given by Master Jiang, he immediately lost interest and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, forget it. What's so good about it? It's not good at all."
"I just sighed and didn't care."
Lin Xuxi played a little tune that she had left behind. It was a tune from her mother's hometown. She remembered that her mother had grown up in Jiangnan and later returned to Beijing with her grandfather.
"Good, you play well!" Tao Fengzhi clapped his hands in praise, then changed the subject and said, "But the flute is not good, the sound is not good. I will send someone to send a new one to Master Lin in a few days, okay?"
He has as many flutes as he wants, so why would Master Lin use Master Jiang's things?
Lin Xuxi looked at the flute, then suddenly stuffed something through the small window and said with a smile, "I know there are people outside. They are all outside. Give this flute to Wei Yuyun and ask him to return it to Jiang Sihan for me."
