I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

Chapter 1615 Mission

"Cousin, follow me into the courtyard!"

The second young lady waited until Li Changqing and the other two disappeared, greeted Chen Lin, and then walked into the courtyard with her maid.

Chen Lin thought for a moment and followed.

The other party must have some ulterior motive in covering for him, but it doesn’t matter. He also wants to know more about the situation in Sifang City, so he can make contact with them.

The maid closed the door, and the three of them walked straight into the inner courtyard without saying a word.

When they arrived at a slightly shabby but very clean room, the second lady turned around and looked Chen Lin up and down.

"Your Excellency is a little abrupt."

"Although our Zhou Mansion is not one of the six major families, we also have a strong foundation, and the guards in our house are all strong. You barged in so rashly. Once your identity is discovered, I can't control you."

Chen Lin was startled.

The other party seemed to mistake him for someone else.

After thinking about it, I still didn't have an explanation.

He smiled and said, "I was indeed careless. Please don't blame me, young lady."

Seeing Chen Lin's good attitude, the lady's expression eased a little.

Then he said in a deep voice: "How sure are you?"

"Is this..."

Chen Lin didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Seeing straight wrinkles on the other person's forehead, he immediately patted his chest.

"Miss, rest assured. Since I dare to come here, I must be fully confident. However, to be on the safe side, please tell me the details. It would be best if you can come up with a more reliable plan."

"Completely sure?"

The lady glanced at Chen Lin.

He sneered, "Are all of you from the Shadow Sect so arrogant?"

  Shadow Gate?

Hearing this name, Chen Lin couldn't help but have associations.

But he immediately denied it.

This is a mysterious place in the void world, and it is impossible for it to be related to the sects in the other world.

This Shadow Gate should not be the one among the seven major sects.

"It's not that I'm arrogant. Everything is based on strength. Miss, please tell me if the situation has changed!"

Chen Lin looked proud.

He just wanted to know the news here, he was not really the person the other party was looking for, so he acted a little arrogant to facilitate quick communication, and then left after understanding the situation, so as not to wait for the real owner to arrive and cause trouble.

"You are so confident. I hope your strength is as great as your tone."

The lady spoke calmly.

Then he said, "Things haven't changed much. Your task is still to protect me openly and find an opportunity to assassinate Sun Xinglun secretly."

"How is Sun Xinglun's strength? Has it changed?"

Chen Lin asked again.

"There is no change, it is still the fourth level, but I don't know whether he has mastered magical powers or not. I don't rule out this possibility."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Chen Lin pretended to be surprised.

Immediately ask: "If you have mastered supernatural powers, which one is most likely to be it?"

Since it is called supernatural power, it must be an extraordinary means.

In other words, the indigenous people of this square city can use extraordinary powers.

This is important news. When I looked up the classics in the Wanxing Tower, I did not see any relevant records.

Chen Lin was secretly alert.

The news spreading outside is probably just superficial and should not be relied upon too much.

Seeing Chen Lin asking so many detailed questions, the second young lady's face looked better.

This shows that the person who took on her task was a little crazy, but he was careful enough and had a greater chance of success.

"I guess."

The second young lady hesitated for a moment.

"The most likely one is the Vulcan Fist."

"Although the Third Madam's family has no magical power inheritance, it is rumored that Sun Xinglun's mother is the illegitimate daughter of the former Fire Demon. She may have awakened the magical power of the Fire God Fist."

"Vulcan Fist?"

Hearing the name, it doesn't seem to be that powerful.

However, Sifang City belongs to a low-level martial arts world. Any extraordinary power should not be underestimated. The means he can use himself are not very powerful.

"Where is Sun Xinglun?"

Chen Lin did not ask about the supernatural powers again.

As a member of the Shadow Gate, it is logical that he could not be unaware of these things, and asking would surely arouse the other party's suspicion.

"Sun Xinglun was appreciated by my father. Under the advice of the Third Madam, he went to work in Zizhulin. You don't have to take the initiative to find him. I will create opportunities for you. You just need to follow me."

Chen Lin's heart moved.

The place called Zizhulin is recorded in ancient books.

It seems to be related to a super family in the city. It is quite mysterious and is believed to be one of the places where rare treasures may exist.

The rare treasures referred to here are the ones that can be taken out.

However, the power recorded in the classics does not seem to be named Zhou.

"Okay, then follow Miss's plan. I'll just follow your instructions."

Chen Lin didn't think any more about it.

Sifang City is only open once every ten thousand years, and the forces inside have risen and fallen countless times, so previous information is no longer valid.

However, the news about the Purple Bamboo Forest made him feel a little conflicted.

Logically speaking, if you come across a place that may produce rare treasures, you should at least learn about it. However, he is an impostor. Once the real person from the Shadow Gate comes, his identity will be exposed, and it will be difficult to deal with.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Lin decided to stay.

There aren't many rare treasures in Sifang City, and the more obvious ones have long been taken away by explorers who came in before, so it's quite difficult to find them.

So now that we have come across it, we should try to see if we can find it.

Moreover, the opening time of Sifang City is not fixed. The longest is no more than three years, and the shortest may be only a few months. You will be kicked out at that time, so you should seize the opportunity while you can.

As for the person from Shadow Gate.

If he doesn't come, that's fine. If he does, don't blame him for being ruthless and making him disappear. "What's your name?"

The maid brought Chen Lin to the side room, and Chen Lin started looking for topics to talk about.

"My name is Qiuxiang."

Facing Chen Lin, the killer from Shadow Gate, the maid seemed very nervous, as if she was afraid that Chen Lin would kill her in anger.

"Qiu Xiang? What a nice name."

Chen Lin smiled.

"How long have you been with your young lady?"

"Don't worry, sir. I have been with you since childhood and I will never betray you."

Qiuxiang thought she understood what Chen Lin meant and hurriedly explained.

Then he said angrily, "They all bullied the young lady. That Sun Xinglun was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. He actually asked the third lady to propose marriage to the young lady. In the end, the head of the family agreed without even asking the young lady. He didn't treat the young lady as a human being at all!"

Chen Lin suddenly realized.

It turns out that the young lady hired a killer to kill someone for this reason.

"Your young lady doesn't like Sun Xinglun. Does she already have someone she loves?"

Chen Lin was just making small talk.

The maid immediately shook her head.

"No, the young lady only wanted to avenge the lady and never thought about sex."

"revenge?"

Chen Lin frowned slightly.

"She didn't tell me this information. Who is the enemy?"

"The enemy is the Third Madam!"

The second young lady walked in from outside.

After looking at Chen Lin, he said in a cold voice: "The Third Madam was once my mother's maid, and she and my mother were as close as sisters. But after giving birth to a son with outstanding talent, she made things difficult for my mother everywhere, secretly using tricks to make my mother have an accident, and on the surface she acted like a deep sisterly love, thinking that I didn't know the inside story."

Chen Lin nodded slightly without further investigation.

These grudges have nothing to do with him. He is just a passer-by, and he is afraid that he will never have the chance to come in again.

Seeing that Chen Lin didn't say anything, the second lady continued to speak.

"If you can kill Sun Xinglun without revealing your identity, then I will continue to hire you to kill the Third Madam!"

"What can you offer as a reward?"

Chen Lin became interested.

If the other party could take out a treasure that could be taken away, then he really wouldn't mind playing the role of a killer. After all, they were not good people, and he would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he was not afraid of affecting his Taoism.

"what do you want?"

The second lady asked back.

Chen Lin paused and said, "I don't look down on ordinary treasures. The status of the Third Madam is not comparable to that of Sun Xinglun. The price is very different."

"That's natural."

The second young lady expressed her approval.

Then he waved his hand and said, "It's too early to talk about this now. Let's deal with Sun Xinglun first and let me see your strength."

"it is good."

Chen Lin agreed.

"But you have to hurry. I have other things to do and can't stay here forever."

"What, do you think the money is too little?"

"That's not the case. Money no longer attracts me, and I'm not short of money."

"Okay, as long as you can complete the task according to my requirements, I will definitely give you the reward you want."

"Is it?"

Chen Lin came to the window and looked at the dilapidated yard outside.

He said calmly, "But I think the second young lady is not in a good situation. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to produce the treasure I need."

He turned the conversation to treasure.

Only things that can be taken out are useful to him, otherwise even mountains of gold and silver are meaningless.

"Don't worry, since I have summoned you, I can naturally give you a reward."

The second young lady reached into her embroidery bag, took out a string of sparkling bracelets, and presented them to Chen Lin.

"This is the ruby ​​bracelet my mother left behind. With this bracelet, you can buy a house in the city center. It's my compensation for delaying your journey. If you complete the task successfully, there will be even better treasures for you."

Chen Lin just took a glance and lost interest.

The bracelet is indeed beautiful, but even the rope that holds it together is square, and it is not something that can break the rules of this place.

"Do you have a big appetite?"

Seeing that Chen Lin didn't answer, the second lady frowned immediately.

"I said, I don't want money, but some rare treasures."

"You want a rare treasure?"

The second young lady frowned even deeper.

His eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you planning on taking our Zhou family's Earth Spirit Sword?"

"No."

Chen Lin flatly denied it.

He didn't even know what the Earth Spirit Sword was, so naturally he wouldn't covet it.

But then again, if the Earth Spirit Sword was a treasure that broke the rules, he would not be polite.

"I don't think you have the courage."

The second young lady snorted.

Then he said, "If you can really take the Earth Spirit Sword away, that would be great. You can help me become the head of the Zhou family and even let me marry you!"

"I'm not interested in women."

Chen Lin expressed his attitude coolly.

The women here are all square-shaped, and no matter how charming they are, it is hard to make people fall in love with them.

The second young lady's face suddenly turned red.

Without saying anything else, she left angrily with her maid.
