Chapter 35 Escaped!
A few days later, at the gate of Lin Mansion in Qingfeng County.
"You guys go back~..., we still have some things to deal with!"
Lin Yixuan reminded.
"Then be careful on the road, and remember to come back and visit when you have time!"
As the woman spoke, she began to cry!
The middle-aged man waved goodbye and comforted the woman.
"The kid has grown up, it's time for him to go out and explore the world!"
On the streets of Qingfeng County.
"Let's go to the Martial Saint Temple!"
Lin Yixuan said firmly.
"What are you going there for?"
Yue Lingxi asked with some confusion.
(My master asked me to come to Qingfeng County, definitely not just to go home and visit my parents, but to seek opportunities. Since I am looking for opportunities, it must be related to legends or mysterious events. Only the Wusheng Temple conforms to the legend, and there are no other places worth visiting.)
"Let's go and have a look. That's the Martial Saint! I'm curious!"
Lin Yixuan said perfunctorily.
"Okay! Since there's nothing else to do, let's go!"
Yue Lingxi said indifferently.
"Mr. Lin, tell me about the Martial Saint. I'm a little curious."
Hongyao asked doubtfully.
"In fact, the legend is nothing special. It says that three thousand years ago, a man fell from the sky and fought off the crazy beast tide alone, saving the entire town from disaster. At the beginning, everyone except the town itself thought that the town had long been annihilated in the beast tide, but unexpectedly, it survived miraculously. Later, this man was revered as a martial saint by the people here, and to this day, there has never been a beast tide here again... Hmm, that's probably the legend."
Lin Yixuan said as he recalled the contents of the book.
"Then why haven't I heard anyone mention it?"
Yue Lingxi asked doubtfully.
(I am a Yan national after all, how come I have never heard of this legend?)
"That's for sure, because only the people here acknowledge that man as the Martial Saint, and others are not willing to deny it. So this legend actually belongs to this place, and outsiders generally don't know about it."
Lin Yixuan explained.
(According to secret historical records, the Martial Saint seemed to have left something behind when he left, but it seems that no one has discovered it until now).
"Then let's go quickly. I'm a little curious now!"
Yue Lingxi urged the two of them to go together.
On the outskirts of Qingfeng County, in front of the Wusheng Temple.
A man said to the three people coming towards him.
"Everyone, nice to meet you again. It seems like we are destined to be together!"
Hongyao quickly hid behind Lin Yixuan.
"It turns out to be Brother Yan. What a coincidence that I can meet you everywhere."
Lin Yixuan patted Hongyao's shoulder to comfort her, then greeted the people standing in front of the Martial Saint Temple.
"I've met you all so many times, but I still don't know your names. I'm so ashamed~..."
Yan Wushuang said apologetically.
(Since you can’t avoid it, just go for it!)
Lin Yixuan bowed to Yan Wushuang.
"My name is Lin Yixuan, this is my cousin Yue Lingxi, and this is a good friend of mine named Hong Yao."
"Oh ~ So your name is Hongyao! Hmm ~ a very good name!"
Yan Wushuang sighed.
(I feel Hongyao grabbing my clothes, and holding on tighter!)
Lin Yixuan asked a little nervously.
"Uh~ Mr. Yan, what is Mr. Yan doing here? Is he here for Hong Yao?"
"Well, I told you, this Hongyao girl looks familiar to me."
Yan Wushuang explained.
(What is coming cannot be avoided, alas~)
Lin Yixuan stared at Yan Wushuang warily.
"Hey~ Don't be nervous, relax~ Relax! Why create such a solemn atmosphere?"
Yan Wushuang suddenly burst into laughter.
"I'm not here for Hongyao!"
Lin Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.
"Are you here for the Martial Saint Temple? Is Master Yan also interested in the Martial Saint Temple?"
"I'm not interested in the Martial Saint Temple. I am a little interested in the Martial Saint of the Martial Saint Temple. Forget it! Let's not talk about that. I have a few questions for Miss Hongyao..."
Yan Wushuang said bluntly.
(I heard that you didn’t come here for yourself,)
Hongyao breathed a sigh of relief and replied
"Master Yan, if Hongyao knows, she will tell you the truth!"
"Where is this Hongyao girl from?"
Yan Wushuang asked.
"Yan State, from Qiyang County."
Hongyao replied.
"Is your mother's name Li Suxin?"
Hearing this, Hong Yao was shocked.
(This is the name my mother used before, but I haven’t mentioned it to many people.)
"yes...."
"Is your mother doing well now?"
Yan Wushuang continued to ask.
"Mother is gone!"
Hongyao answered with a crying voice.
"Ah~ gone? How are you doing now?"
Yan Wushuang muttered to himself and continued to ask.
(If this guy dares to bully Hongyao, he will be dead.)
“I’m having a good time!”
Hongyao stopped sobbing and replied.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Yixuan was sweating profusely.
(This Yan Wushuang and Hongyao's mother are actually old friends. Fortunately, he didn't treat Hongyao badly, otherwise something really bad would have happened!)
"Um~ excuse me, it's a bit hot in here, why don't we go inside and talk slowly!"
Lin Yixuan reminded while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Is it hot? It's okay!"
Yue Lingxi felt the temperature around her and expressed her opinion.
Lin Yixuan quickly pulled Yue Lingxi and walked into the temple.
"Don't be so nervous, brother. I won't eat you!"
Yan Wushuang said this, looking at Lin Yixuan with a smile.
"You guys go in! ~ I have something else to take care of, so I'll leave first."
Yan Wushuang suddenly turned around, looked at the woods in the distance and said, without giving anyone a chance to respond, he disappeared in a flash.
Lin Yixuan quickly pulled the two women into the temple.
"I didn't realize that Yan Wushuang is such a master."
Yue Lingxi said.
(You should be more careful. I, your junior brother, was just a hair's breadth away from death!)
Lin Yixuan held his forehead helplessly.
Hongyao smiled secretly.
"Mr. Lin, don't be nervous. He just talks to me about the past!"
(If he wasn’t nervous, then there would be something fishy going on. Judging from his appearance, he probably had a close relationship with that Li Suxin. I even suspected that Li Suxin was his lover.)
"It's okay. I'm not nervous! It's hot. Yes, it's hot!"
Lin Yixuan quickly explained.
"Junior brother, look at this statue of the Martial Saint. It's so strange."
Yue Lingxi suddenly said.
"What's weird?"
Lin Yixuan looked up at the statue of the Martial Saint in front of him and asked.
"Can't you tell? He looks like you! Well, he just has a little more beard and looks more mature."
Yue Lingxi said seriously.
Lin Yixuan looked at the statue of the Martial Saint carefully.
(Hearing her say that, it is true that they are quite similar. It feels like myself in 20 years! It can’t be such a coincidence, right?)
"There are so many people who look alike, don't make such a fuss."
'Having said that, Lin Yixuan surrounded the statue of the Martial Saint and observed it carefully! '
