Chapter 240 Uncle Lin's Whereabouts

Shen Lin: "?"

He looked at Liu Xu who was going back and forth, a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

Again, sit down?

That's not what she said just now.

but……

How about sitting down?

Just when Shen Lin hadn't had time to be happy.

"boom!"

The door of the room suddenly seemed to be kicked open by something, at the same time, Shen Lin subconsciously looked towards the door.

In the next second, the expression on his face froze.

"Boom."

Another thunderbolt flashed across the sky.

The three people in the room seemed to be frozen in place.

Silence, silence!
……

After a long time, Shen Lin, who had just gradually recovered, saw the figure outside the door, the expression on his face changed from dull to shocked.

Then came... Panic!
At the same time, a guilty conscience of being caught and raped instantly flooded my heart.

Standing outside the door...is Princess Changning.

Wearing a purple shirt, Zhao Li'er stood at the door with a blank expression, holding a black umbrella in her hand, and the rainwater from the umbrella fell on the door.

At this moment, her face was cold, and her eyes seemed to have an invisible murderous look, staring at the two people in the room.

It's cold and penetrating!
Her gaze fell on the two people in the room, and when she saw Liu Xu appearing in the room, and Shen Lin who was sitting by the bed and was wearing clothes, a shadow was cast over her whole body.

In the room, Shen Lin's eyes were still a little dull.

Seeing the unlikely figure appearing outside the door, his thoughts short-circuited.

Since His Majesty bestowed the marriage, it meant that the two could not meet again.But tonight, why did she sneak over in the middle of the night?
Do you still have the reserve and calmness you should have as a princess?
but……

It seems that the problem now is not this?

Shen Lin looked at Zhao Li'er at the door with a cold face, and Liu Xu in the room, who came to the table calmly and sat down as if he hadn't noticed anything.

Swallowed.

The problem...is a little serious.

……

silence.

There was another long silence.

There were obviously three people, but no one said a word from the beginning to the end, and everyone seemed to maintain a special tacit understanding.

Eerie and quiet.

Finally, as another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky outside the window, it finally woke up the three people in the room.

Zhao Li'er, who was standing at the door, slowly put away the black umbrella in her hand after being silent for a long time.

Then, stepped into the room.

She left the umbrella at the door casually, and she walked slowly towards Shen Lin, her steps were very light and slow, but every step seemed to be stepping on Shen Lin's heart.

What does she want to do?
Shen Lin watched her approaching helplessly, approaching the table.Afterwards, she sat down opposite Liu Xu and watched her quietly.

The two sat together like this.

Still silent.

Just when the two looked at each other, the atmosphere in the room was finally suppressed to the extreme.

Finally, it was Zhao Lier who spoke first.

She stared at Liu Xu with her beautiful eyes, and then said slowly, "Long time no see."

Liu Xu glanced at her and said lightly, "Yes!"

"How are you doing recently?"

"good."

"..."

The two communicated in a calm tone, like an old friend they haven't seen for a long time, and there is no imaginary tense atmosphere at all.

However, the calm expressions of the two of them, as well as the vaguely cold eyes in their eyes, showed that things seemed...not so simple?
"When did you arrive in the capital?"

Zhao Lier glanced at her.

"Not long ago."

"Why didn't I see you come to see me?"

"No need."

"..."

Zhao Lier narrowed her eyes slightly: "I heard from Qianqian and the others that you met them in Qingshui County?"

Liu Xu raised her eyes, still looked at her calmly, and said calmly, "Since you know, why bother to ask?"

"Can't you ask?"

"It seems that you talk a lot of nonsense."

The originally relaxed atmosphere between the two gradually became a little strange after these words began.The two still looked at each other, but there was an indescribable look in their eyes.

"Half a year ago, I heard that you had gone down the mountain. I originally wanted to find you."

Zhao Li'er looked at her: "It seems that you don't like me very much?"

Liu Xu remained calm: "Aren't you the same?"

"Yeah, I really don't like you very much."

Zhao Li'er nodded, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "I never thought that you are better than me?"

"so what?"

"..."

Not far away, Shen Lin was sitting on the edge of the bed trembling, not daring to say a word.

Immortals fight, and now whenever he utters half a word, the conflict may be provoked to him.

The two sat at the table and had a peaceful conversation, but for some reason, Shen Lin could feel the strong emotions contained in the calm tone.

As if it would explode at any moment.

"So……"

After the two of them spoke plainly for a while, Zhao Lier finally raised her eyes and asked casually, "Why are you here?"

Liu Xu asked back, "Why can't I be here?"

"This is Shen's residence." Zhao Li'er narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes slightly cold.

Liu Xu's expression remained calm: "So what?"

"You shouldn't be here."

Zhao Lier's tone was calm, but it seemed to have a hint of coldness: "You should have heard the news outside, right?"

Liu Xu's calm eyes finally seemed to have a little more waves, but then they returned to calm: "So?"

Seeing that the willow catkins in front of her couldn't get in, Zhao Li'er finally seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. Her tone was cold, and she said in a cold voice, "He is my fiancé!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Lier suddenly turned her head, glanced at Shen Lin who was not far away, and pointed at him: "Do you think...it's appropriate for you to be alone in the room with my fiancé in the middle of the night?"

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed.

The sword is on!
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely low.

Zhao Li'er still stared at Liu Xu coldly, oppressing her imposingly.

Liu Xu sat quietly at the table, slowly raised her head, and met Zhao Lier's eyes, her gaze was still calm.

Under Zhao Lier's strong oppression, Liu Xu looked very indifferent.

"Who isn't?"

"..."

Silent night.

The night in late autumn is very cold, especially when it is still raining heavily outside the window.

In the room, when the sky outside the window was about to light up, calm was restored.

The figures of Liu Xu and Zhao Li'er disappeared from the room.

Shen Lin was left standing where he was, with the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

There was an indescribable sense of relief in my heart, but then deep worry.

all gone!
Zhao Li'er finally left angrily, and Liu Xu also left after taking a deep look at Shen Lin.

They finally collided.

But there was no scene of a big fight as Shen Lin imagined, and the two of them didn't even fight from the beginning to the end.

Not even cursing.

The two seemed to be old friends for a long time, talking calmly.Even tit for tat, but still maintain enough reason.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy Shen Lin felt.

What the hell are they doing?

……

Night gradually fell again.

The rain stopped.

Courtyard, under the eaves.

Dressed in white clothes, she sat quietly in front of the window, looking into the distance.

I don't know when to wait until the sound of footsteps came from behind.

Liu Xu turned her head and lowered her eyes: "Master."

Li Miaoyi walked slowly to Liu Xu's side, and glanced at her: "Do you have something on your mind?"

Liu Xu didn't speak.

"Is it related to Shen Qun?"

She still didn't speak.

Seeing this, Li Miaoyi sighed lightly.

Although Liu Xu is not her own daughter, why didn't she understand her thoughts when she was brought back to the mountain gate since she was a child?
"Master, I didn't want to force you."

Li Miaoyi sighed lightly: "I decided this marriage for you back then, on the one hand, I wanted to repay the favor of the Shen family, and on the other hand, it was also to give you a guarantee..."

Hearing this, Liu Xu was startled, and raised her head subconsciously.

Li Miaoyi seemed to have a bit of a sigh on her face: "You grew up in the mountain gate and rarely interacted with others. Although you are my direct disciple, as a teacher, I didn't plan to let you take over the class of my teacher..."

"The forces in the Absolute Beginning Sword Sect are complex. I have always been worried that you will not be able to suppress them. I am even more worried that one day they might attack you... In contrast to this, it is better to find a good home for you..."

"The Shen family has always had a good reputation in the world, and Shen Changjun is a rare literati leader in the world, with a clean net worth, so Mother Shen also loves you very much."

"It's a good home for you to marry into the Shen family. It's a pity..."

Li Miaoyi thought of something and sighed lightly.

It's a pity that three years ago, the Shen family was suddenly granted a marriage with the royal family, and then Shen Lin's whereabouts were unknown, so this matter has been temporarily shelved.

But even so, the Shen family still couldn't forget this matter.Even if she couldn't marry the Shen family, Li Miaoyi still made up her mind to make friends with the Shen family and give this apprentice a way out.

After all, the rivers and lakes were too dangerous, and she was worried that Liu Xu would not be able to grasp them.If it can be covered by the influence of the Shen family, it is not impossible.

And now three years later, Shen Qun returned safely, but unfortunately she still had a marriage contract with the royal family, and her apprentice...

Li Miaoyi quietly looked at the silent apprentice, and sighed lightly: "Xu'er, if you don't want to, you don't have to force it..."

"Since Shen Qun has a marriage contract with the princess, if you don't want to, then let it go..."

"Wait for the teacher to tell them to cancel this marriage, and let the teacher take you back to the mountain gate."

After Li Miaoyi sighed quietly, she turned around and planned to leave.

However, at this moment.

"Master, wait a minute..."

Li Miaoyi stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and saw Liu Xu's cold face, which seemed to be a bit hesitant.

"I……"

Liu Xu lowered her head and was silent for a long time.

She took a deep breath and said silently, "Again, wait a little longer."

"..."

Shen Lin slept until night, and when he woke up, the sky gradually darkened and the heavy rain stopped.

After sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while, he turned over and went to the next courtyard.

At a glance, he saw the white-clothed figure under the eaves not far away.

Shen Lin became nervous for no reason, took a deep breath, and approached cautiously.

Until Shen Lin fumbled behind Liu Xu, she still didn't seem to have recovered.

"Xuer?"

Shen Lin opened his mouth cautiously.

Liu Xu seemed to wake up with a start, subconsciously turned her head, and when she saw Shen Lin appearing behind her, there was a rare flicker of panic in her eyes.

Then, calm was restored.

"what happened to you?"

Shen Lin noticed her abnormality.

Liu Xu quickly concealed her emotions, and then gave him a cold look: "What are you doing here?"

Cold words.

"Come and see you."

Shen Lin knew he was guilty, and coughed: "It's so late, I heard someone say, you haven't eaten yet?"

Liu Xu didn't speak, but just looked at him expressionlessly.

"I asked the servants to prepare some food, eat?"

Shen Lin tried.

"No need."

Liu Xu refused with a straight face.

"Eat as much as you want, you can't stand it anymore with your body like this."

Shen Lin persuaded.

Liu Xu glanced at him coldly, turned and left without saying a word.

Shen Lin followed closely.

"What are you doing with me?"

Liu Xu looked back coldly.

"A little worried about you."

"No need!"

Liu Xu remained expressionless: "Go worry about your princess...she is your fiancée."

Hearing this, Shen Lin was a little dumbfounded.

But then, he still followed closely: "You too."

"I'm not."

"You clearly admitted..."

Shen Lin remembered what Liu Xu said to Zhao Li'er in the middle of the night yesterday...

When Zhao Lier questioned Liu Xu why she stayed with her fiancé.

Liu Xu's understatement made Zhao Li'er break her defenses, stunned, shocked, unbelievable...

So is she!
Yes!

Who is not a fiancée?
Liu Xu stopped suddenly, turned her head and glared at him, "Shut up!"

The slightly flushed face was obviously a little anxious.

Got it!
She can say, Shen Lin is not allowed to say, right?

Shen Lin nodded: "All right, all right, I won't talk anymore...but why don't you eat something first?"

"..."

inside the room.

There are various foods on the table.

Shen Lin and Liu Xu sat at the table, having dinner.

The night outside the window had already darkened.

The room was silent.

The years are quiet.

Shen Lin quietly looked at Liu Xu's profile, feeling filled with emotion.

Although they didn't say a word, they could feel that the relationship between the two seemed to be much more harmonious.

Shen Lin really wanted to ask what she was thinking.

But in the end, hold back.

dare not ask.

Ever since, from the beginning to the end, the two of them never brought up this topic again, nor did they mention anyone else.

It seems that some kind of mysterious tacit understanding has been maintained!

After eating, Liu Xu got up to leave, and Shen Lin sat in the room, sighing deeply.

At this moment, there seemed to be movement outside the door.

Shen Lin turned his head and saw a familiar figure.

promise.

Xu Nuo in a red dress appeared in the room at some unknown time.

"How did you come?"

Shen Lin was startled.

Xu Nuo looked at him coldly: "Have you bullied the princess?"

"I do not have."

"Then why is the princess angry?"

Shen Lin sighed and glanced out the window.

Only then did Xu Nuo seem to realize something, and his eyes narrowed: "The princess and her..."

Shen Lin nodded.

There was a slight hint of consternation on Xu Nuo's face, and he didn't recover for a while.

The princess...has met her?
"Then why aren't you dead?"

As if thinking of something, Xu Nuo looked up and down at Shen Lin suspiciously.

Shen Lin couldn't help but said, "You really want me to die?"

"Under normal circumstances, the princess will interrupt your dog legs."

Xu Nuo looked at him coldly with no expression on his face, and said coldly: "The heartless man."

Shen Lin: "..."

"I don't like to hear your words anymore. When did I become a heartless person? Who did I blame?"

Xu Nuo said coldly: "What do you think?"

"Are you worthy of the princess?"

"I did not fail your princess."

"While you are being ambiguous with Liu Xu, you are still coaxing Qianqian...you still say that you have not betrayed the princess?!"

Xu Nuo looked cold, as if he couldn't help but want to draw his sword.

Shen Lin was taken aback, was he betraying his heart?

After thinking about it, Shen Lin shook his head: "You misunderstood..."

"I have lived up to them... I am sincere to each of them."

Promise: "..."
