Stay up all night waiting for you to come

"Missing?"

Lin Xiao turned around in surprise, his eyes gradually sank, and he forgot to let go of Qi Ling's wrist, which was still clasped in his hand. Originally, Qi Ling was very resistant to other people touching his vital parts such as his wrist, but because of holding The person following him was Lin Xiao, so he didn't have much reaction.

"Yes, when the subordinates and Ms. Wen arrived at the Taoist temple, the building was already empty, but there were no traces of fighting there, and everything was gone. It should be that Master Wan Miao left by himself, and there are probably less than half of them. It's been a month."

Lin Xiao didn't speak, his sharp eyes lowered slightly, blocking the dark light inside, but from Qi Ling's perspective, he could see that his expression was somewhat unpredictable and gloomy.

"I see. Let Wen Xi live in the Beizhou branch first, and send someone to take care of him. Be vigilant no matter it is day or night, to prevent someone from attacking secretly. If there is not enough manpower, transfer people from other branches."

Han Jian nodded, and was about to turn around and leave when Lin Xiao called him back.

"Go to the kitchen and ask them to bring you a bowl of ginger soup."

A bit of doubt flashed across Han Jian's face, and he glanced at Qi Ling unconsciously, but he happened to meet a pair of cold black eyes, his heart skipped a beat, he didn't dare to ask more questions, and immediately ran outside go out.

Lin Xiao saw that his subordinate, who had always been reckless and had no scruples in speaking, understood something, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and a little smile appeared in his eyes.

"Why is he so afraid of you? Is it because you beat him up last time?"

Qi Ling didn't speak, and he held his hand obediently, not as cold and stern as he was when he faced Han Jian, like a black panther with its claws removed, quiet and docile.

It seems that he beat Han Jian secretly more than once... But he covered his face when he did it, so he shouldn't be found out, right?

Qi Ling shook his head with a blank expression, he looked a little innocent, Lin Xiao didn't intend to delve into this matter, but seeing Han Jian and others being so afraid every time they saw Qi Ling, he felt a little funny in his heart, and rubbed him vigorously. He lowered his head, causing Qi Ling to whimper.

"After dinner later, go out with me. When you were not around, I found some clues about Longnvsha. It was originally in the Eight Treasures Chamber of Commerce, but it was bought together with a batch of medicinal materials. , the buyer has something to do with the past Tibetan Sword Villa, you follow me to check."

Qi Ling nodded, but still didn't care about these things. Lin Xiao was used to him for a long time, and knew that as long as this kid was by his side, he didn't bother to think about other things, so he just smiled indulgently and dragged him away. He went to the brazier and talked.

When the two were alone, Qi Ling was basically listening silently, rarely responding, but he listened very seriously. Lin Xiao liked it in his heart, but couldn't help but want to tease him.

"It is said that the place is haunted by ghosts, are you afraid?"

Qi Ling looked at him expressionlessly, and was about to shake his head when he suddenly thought of something, his eyes flickered, and then he nodded again.

Lin Xiao didn't expect that he would really nod, and suddenly showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that Qi Ling, who was as cold and stern as Qi Ling, would be afraid of ghosts.

"Then you wait for me outside, and I will go in and have a look."

Qi Ling shook his head, and moved the small stool he was sitting on to Lin Xiao's side. The two bodies were almost touching each other. They were warmed by the stove, and felt warm and comfortable in their hearts.

"Can the subordinates pull the master?"

Lin Xiao curled his lips and fiddled with the charcoal fire in the stove, enjoying the time when his children were close to him, but he didn't think too much about the meaning of Qi Ling's words.

"Haven't you been tugging on my sleeve for so many years, I say no now, can you change this habit?"

Qi Ling was stunned, and looked at Lin Xiaoxiu's long and broad palm, and didn't dare to say that he wanted to hold his hand, not his sleeve. He said something wrong, turned his head and saw Qi Ling sitting beside him with sad eyes, staring at the charcoal fire in a daze.

"I was teasing you, why do you take it seriously, you can pull it wherever you want, you don't feel ashamed yourself, what am I afraid of."

Lin Xiao knocked on Qi Ling's head jokingly, and saw that his eyes instantly brightened surprisingly, staring at him with burning eyes, and suddenly his heart began to throb slightly again, the illusion he had just had when he was hugged by Qi Ling reappeared, It made him want to touch his face involuntarily.

As a result, at this moment, Han Jian walked in directly from the outside with breakfast and the ginger soup he had just prepared, and when he looked up, he saw his pavilion master and the living hell king sitting side by side on the small stool in front of the stove. It was quite ambiguous, and the legs that made him step out suddenly froze in mid-air.

When Han Jian saw those two people turned their heads and looked at him coldly at the same time, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back, and he immediately remembered the inexplicable beatings he had suffered a few times before, and he wished to give himself two big ear blows , and then you know when to go inside and when to wait outside.

"Pavilion, pavilion master, here is breakfast and the ginger soup you want. This subordinate will put it on the table for you first. There are still some things to do in the branch hall. This subordinate will leave first!"

Han Jian forced a smile on his rough face, and just saluted Lin Xiao, not daring to look at the murderous star next to him, who was already showing murderous intent, and then rushed out of the house with a pale face.

He thought to himself, should he hide outside for two days before coming back?

The beautiful atmosphere just now had been completely destroyed by others, Lin Xiao was also a little helpless, and sighed softly. He didn't know whether he regretted what he hadn't asked just now or was glad that he was able to rein in the precipice in time because of Han Jian. The situation is out of control again.

He found that his original idea was ridiculously wrong, what is far away from Qi Ling, just silently guarding, what kind of bullshit brotherhood, as long as the distance between the two of them is a little closer, he will start to show signs of losing control.

If Han Jian hadn't barged in just now, he might really have held her in his arms and kissed him down. After all, his sweetheart was sitting beside him so dependently, and never resisted him. It was hard for Lin Xiao to guarantee that he would not will do something.

"Let's eat something first. Although you never touch anything with a smell, but you soaked in cold water in the morning, you are easy to catch cold. You don't need to do any tasks in the past two days. You should be fine. Drink this bowl of ginger soup. "

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Qi Ling withdrew his gloomy eyes staring at Han Jian's leaving direction, and slowly let go of his clenched fists, but obediently walked over to take what was in Lin Xiao's hand, and drank it all in one gulp. It's just that I frowned when I drank it, and still couldn't stand the taste of ginger juice.

Seeing him finish the ginger soup with a bitter face, Lin Xiao smiled and took the tangerine that was prepared next to him and stuffed it into his mouth, and brushed his fingertips over Qi Ling's soft lips without a trace.

"Is it better?"

Qi Ling held the tangerine in his mouth, his lips were a little itchy, and he licked it lightly involuntarily. When he saw the pink tip of his tongue, Lin Xiao's breathing became disordered for a moment, and his eyes gradually darkened.

"Well, this subordinate is not a child anymore."

Qi Ling pursed his lips, biting the tangerine in his mouth, and muttered something in a low voice.

Lin Xiao put the breakfast in front of him, and then picked up his own bowl. He smiled indulgently, but didn't say anything. He knew that Qi Ling was no longer a child, he was already a grown man, but when he was with him, , he would always think of that fierce and indifferent young man back then, and subconsciously wanted to take good care of him.

In his previous life, he only knew how to take. Fortunately, he had another chance to more or less make up for what he hadn't done before.

"Eat more, you lost a lot of weight when you were injured, and lost a lot of weight after running back and forth in the past few days. Originally, your legs could wake me up when you were sleeping. Last night, it was so light that it seemed weightless Yes, my bones are shaking me."

Lin Xiao peeled two eggs and threw them into Qi Ling's bowl. Instead of his usual strength, he had a lot more patience.

Qi Ling stared at the two white and fat eggs in the bowl, poked one with chopsticks and took a bite, the aroma overflowed, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up again.

Because the former site of Cangjian Villa is not far from Beizhou City, Lin Xiao didn't bring anyone with him when he went out, but he and Qi Ling rode on horses and went straight there.

But after three sticks of incense, the two of them arrived there. When they looked up, the once glorious Tibetan Sword Villa had now become ruins, and they could vaguely see what it looked like back then.

Lin Xiao found that although the place had been burned by fire, some houses were barely preserved, but they had been burnt to black. It was like a woman crying, which made people feel chills. It is no wonder that this place is regarded as a haunted house.

The two got off their horses, tied the rope to the well-preserved wooden stake outside, and walked slowly towards the inside.

While raising his vigilance and looking around, Lin Xiao wondered why the buyer of the Babao Chamber of Commerce would have anything to do with the dilapidated Tibetan Sword Villa. Suddenly, he felt his sleeves tighten, and when he turned around, he saw Qi Ling expressionless. Pulling his sleeves, his face turned pale.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that the kid had admitted that he was afraid of ghosts, and he almost laughed out loud.

"What is this for? Are you really afraid of ghosts?"

Qi Ling pursed his lips and didn't say anything, and didn't let go, and then he saw Lin Xiao smiled viciously, and said in a low voice: "Don't move, there is something lying on your back."

Qi Ling: ==

Lin Xiao was disappointed to find that Qi Ling didn't show any signs of panic, he shook his head helplessly, and was about to turn around and continue walking in, when suddenly his sleeves were loosened again, and a slightly cold palm gently held him hand.

He bent his eyes, held Qi Ling's hand tightly in his own, cleared his throat, and said seemingly unintentionally: "If you are afraid, hold on tight."

Qi Ling's eyes flickered, and he slightly tightened his palms. After feeling the temperature transmitted from them, a triumphant smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

And just as the two of them were walking deeper and deeper in the Hidden Sword Villa, a white figure flashed behind them, as silent as a ghost, with bloodshot eyes fixed on Lin Xiao's back, and then disappeared immediately. into the dark.

The author has something to say: Qi Ling's retirement life: eating, sleeping, and feeding the birds.
