Demons are easy to get rid of, but it is difficult for juniors and teachers to guard against

Chapter 5

"what--"

Accompanied by a sharp hissing sound, a mass of dark, shadow-like evil was split from it, turned into a puddle of sewage on the ground, and then disappeared quickly.

The demon-slaying sword that pierced through the evil exudes a murderous aura, and it seems to be restraining its anger vaguely.

Lin Zhen wore a Taoist robe with elegant corners, standing sideways, with sword-shaped brows on his temples, and a handsome face.He wiped the Demon Slayer Sword clean and put it back into the scabbard, impatience was hidden in his calm eyes.

A young man in Taoist robes ran over like a little follower and handed Lin Zhen a water bottle, "Master Lin is really powerful. He killed twenty shadow demons in just one morning."

Lin Zhen took the kettle silently, wondering what kind of shadow monster this is, he hasn't even cultivated the human form yet, and there are at most twenty balls of monster energy.But he already knew that it was useless to talk too much. Although the young man knew a little spiritual art, it was only superficial and he couldn't understand it.

The young man's eyes shone with admiration, and he praised: "Master Lin's swordsmanship is so good, he is worthy of being Master Xiao's fellow disciple."

Hearing this sentence, Lin Zhen was very depressed and angry.

A month ago, he followed Xiao Ling to come here.

This is Baijin City, the Pearl of the Orient in the Southern Kingdom, the most prosperous city in the country other than Longdu, and also the number one port city for foreign trade in the Southern Kingdom.

Out of anger at Xiao Ling's assertion at the Grand Master's birthday banquet, Lin Zhen ignored him all the way, and pretended not to see Xiao Ling's various overtures, and the stalemate has continued until now.Xiao Ling didn't take the initiative to look for boredom in the end. After arriving at the mansion, he began to deal with the accumulated things after leaving, and "please" to Lin Zhen one after another. Monsters and mobs are irrelevant, they are just looking for trouble when they have nothing to do.

When Lin Zhen thought of Xiao Ling's serious expression in the lobby that day, he thought it was ridiculous.He really never imagined that one day he would be teased by his former best junior brother to the point of leaving his hometown.

The young man looked at Lin Zhen's gloomy face, and worried, "Master Lin, why is he uncomfortable? Why does he look so bad?"

Lin Zhen looked at the young man, thinking what he was doing, how could he take his anger out on innocent people, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's just a little hot."

The young man's complexion is extremely fair, and even a little blush is very obvious. He said empathetically, "It's already May, and summer is coming soon. It's just that Baijin is hotter than other places."

Lin Zhen nodded, and suddenly asked, "Your name is... Chu..."

"Chubi." The young man replied, smiling a bit shyly, his watery eyes did not dare to look directly at Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Why does the name look like a girl?"

"There were two older brothers before me, and my parents always hoped that I would be a girl." The young man was so innocent that he trusted Lin Zhen so much that he reported his family background verbatim.

"Then why did you become a servant boy in Xiao Ling's mansion?"

Chu Bi also made no secrets, "My eldest brother was conscripted into the army and suffered an unjust case two years ago. If Master Xiao hadn't helped him in time, he would have lost his life long ago. Our family has nothing to repay Master Xiao, so we put my Sent to the Xiao Mansion."

Xiao Ling, you can be regarded as doing a good deed.Lin Zhen felt a little better

Looking at the sky at noon, Lin Zhen said to Chu Bi, "Let's go back home."

Xiao Ling's mansion was built on Qingtao Street in Baijin City, facing east and west, and its scale was three times larger than the mansion of the local magistrate.Most of the buildings in government houses are similar, there is nothing special about them, I guess Xiao Ling didn't bother to invent anything, but there are a lot of peach blossoms planted in the mansion, the pink and white ones are extraordinarily enchanting.

Xiao Ling likes peach blossoms?Why doesn't he know.Lin Zhen himself has always been fond of peach blossoms, but in his memory Xiao Ling has always been indifferent to these flowers and plants... Could it be that this elegance has arisen after coming to Baijincheng?

Just as Lin Zhen was lingering in the peach trees all over the courtyard, feeling happy, the butler, Uncle Qi, called out from the veranda, "Mr. Lin, are you back?"

Lin Zhen's eyelids twitched, and he turned around to see the old housekeeper who was in his sixties: "Uncle Qi, is there... what's the matter?"

Uncle Qi was short and had a white beard. He said leisurely, "Before my master left, I asked this old servant to ask Mr. Lin to do something."

"……What's up?"

"There is a forest in the western suburbs. A woodcutter recently saw a cat-like monster there..."

As soon as Lin Zhen heard it, he knew what was going on, and the good mood that had finally recovered was disturbed again. He couldn't bear it and said, "Where is Xiao Ling? I want to see him!"

The old butler was calm, as if he had expected Lin Zhen's reaction, but he dragged his voice, a bit of a trick: "Master..."

This was probably the most annoyed Lin Zhen had ever been in his life.

If Uncle Qi said where and where Xiao Ling works, does business, or slays demons and kills demons to do harm to the people, he'll let it go.However, Xiao Ling actually drank and had fun in Zuihualou, spending his days and nights!

Even if he is a foreigner who has just arrived, he has also heard of Zuihualou. The brothels here are either rich or expensive, and the extravagant style is disgusting.

But he never worried that Xiao Ling would be indulged in love affairs, after all, his impression of Xiao Ling was still that of that indifferent young man back then.Unexpectedly, in just four years, Xiao Ling also changed his temperament and learned to be romantic.

Lin Zhen became more and more angry as he thought about it, and rode his horse to Dongshi, and arrived at Zuihualou in a short while. With a dark face all the way, he caught a girl and asked about Xiao Ling's room, and went upstairs angrily.

"Bang—" Lin Zhen kicked the door open violently, interrupting the melodious music playing in the room.

The whole room was filled with a strong smell of powder, which made him wrinkle his nose uncomfortably.

He strode around the screen and shouted: "Xiao Ling!"

Sitting behind the screen is exactly Xiao Ling, with picturesque eyebrows and elegant looks.Seeing that the situation was not right, Yingying and Yanyan who surrounded him all retreated one after another.

Seeing Lin Zhen, Xiao Ling's beautiful peach blossom eyes curled into crescent moons, the corners of his mouth were raised lightly, his elegant and handsome face had a faint smile, his headband was loose, and his long black hair fell down, making him extraordinarily affectionate and unrestrained.

He was lazily leaning on the couch, wearing a royal blue robe with a wide open inside and loose clothes, revealing a beautifully shaped collarbone and fair skin.

Xiao Ling's calmness and Lin Zhen's irritability formed a sharp contrast for a while. He poured a glass of wine, handed it to Lin Zhen, and said with a smile: "Brother, come and taste it, it's so sweet."

Lin Zhen was so angry that he raised his hand and knocked the wine glass to the ground. The girl who was playing the piano in the corner was so shocked that she didn't dare to move.Lin Zhen scolded: "Preaching prostitution in the daytime, you kid has grown up!"

Xiao Ling wasn't annoyed either, instead he smiled even more happily, "I'm drinking and listening to the piano here, how come I'm promiscuous all day long?"

Lin Zhen was too lazy to talk nonsense with Xiao Ling, and sneered: "Drinking and listening to the piano will make you disheveled?"

Xiao Ling: "Drink to the point of intoxication, and when you hear the rise, why not dress casually?"

"Nonsense!" Lin Zhen was obviously annoyed by Xiao Ling's sophistry, "Okay, then explain to me why I was ordered by you to run around, but you are here to drink wine and listen to songs. ?”

Xiao Ling blinked and smiled slyly: "If it wasn't like that, how could senior brother come to me and talk to me?"

It was only then that Lin Zhen remembered that this was really the first time he had spoken to Xiao Ling on his own initiative since Grand Master's birthday banquet.He only felt a little pain in his temple: "You... you just for this?"

"Brother is also really patient. It took a whole month to come to me."

For a whole month, he finished writing the notebook, checked the accounts, and took care of the mansion, without waiting for Lin Zhen to take the initiative.So the jobs he was looking for became more and more trivial and unreasonable, just to make Lin Zhen feel anxious and come to him for justice.

Lin Zhen didn't believe it, and said coldly: "Don't lie to me, how many bad habits have you developed outside in the past four years? Do you really think that no one will care about you after you graduate?"

Xiao Ling: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, brother, let's pretend that Ling can't control it. Now that Grand Master and Master are not here, who can do anything to get me?"

Lin Zhen didn't expect Xiao Ling to be so arrogant, and acted on his duty as a senior brother, and said, "Why can't I help you? Since I, Lin Zhen, are your senior brother and have come to this point, then I will take care of your Xiao Ling's troubles. Let’s see if you can correct these bad habits of yours!”

Being pointed on the nose, Xiao Ling looked triumphant instead, he stretched out his hand to hold Lin Zhen's outstretched index finger, and said: "It's a deal, brother, you can't go back on your word in the future, leave me alone."

Lin Zhen realized that she was being teased by Xiao Ling, but she couldn't take back what she said just now, so she just snorted coldly: "Why don't you hurry up and tidy up your clothes and go out with me?"

"What the brother says is what it is."

After tossing around for a while, Xiao Ling and Lin Zhen finally left the room, and the room suddenly became quiet, and Lin Zhen's voice could be faintly heard scolding Xiao Ling as he went down the stairs, and then gradually disappeared.

The girl playing the piano was named Chaoyue, she was obviously very frightened, she didn't come back to her senses until the old bustard came in, tremblingly said: "Mom..."

The old bustard was a woman in her forties, and she helped Chaoyue up: "Okay, okay, it's hard for you to encounter such a thing the first time you pick up a guest."

Chaoyue was still in fear, and asked: "Who is it that came to see Master Xiao just now? How dare you yell at Master Xiao so viciously?"

"I heard that he is Master Xiao's fellow apprentice." The old bustard was also not sure, "Forget it, it can be considered that Xiao Ling, the great Buddha, has been invited away."

"Mom doesn't like Lord Xiao visiting our Zuihualou?" Chaoyue couldn't help but be moved when she thought of Xiao Ling, he was so handsome, his gestures were unparalleled, such a handsome young man, and he was the high-ranking Marquis, so he was very attractive. people like it.

The old bustard frowned: "Xiao Ling is not close to women, and he never comes to our fireworks venues. This time, he came here for a few days in a row. Can you stop me from worrying?"

There are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the customers of Zuihualou. It is not only a flower building, but also a place for all kinds of news exchanges. Of course, there are many hidden things that cannot be seen.

Chaoyue also thought it made sense, and remembered what the sisters said, every time Mr. Xiao let them take off his clothes, but never let them really get close to her body. But elusive, absent-minded.She also noticed this, when playing the piano today, she made several mistakes because of nervousness, but Xiao Ling didn't blame her at all, to be precise, Xiao Ling wasn't listening at all.

Then why did Mr. Xiao pretend to be flirtatious when that young master rushed in?

Chaoyue couldn't figure it out, neither did the bustard, she just thought it was Xiao Ling's whim that made them a false alarm.
