Since Lin Tang kept a low profile, he didn't encounter any accidents at night.

It's just that although he didn't encounter anything, the inn was really not peaceful at night, because the next morning, when Lin Tang went out and wanted to leave, he saw corpses lying on the ground.

He swallowed, and ran away.

It's a pity that his reaction was still a little slow, the hand that was about to throw out the magic weapon was only a moment slow, and then he was cast with a spell of concentration and couldn't move.

Lin Tang: ...I'm sorry.

He turned his head with difficulty, only to see a man standing in a remote part of the hall.He was dressed low-key and was playing with something in his hand.

Lin Tang looked intently, it was a jade pendant.

The jade pendant was stained with blood, and the man was slowly wiping it off.However, Lin Tang didn't pay much attention to what the jade pendant was, but instead fixed his eyes on the man's face.

This person... seems familiar.

After the man finished wiping the jade pendant, he slowly raised his eyes to look at him.He didn't speak, and Lin Tang didn't know what to say, until Han Zhuojian blew softly, and Han Zhuo said: "You met this person in the inn before."

Inn?Lin Tang thought for a while before he remembered that this man was the man he had rescued at the inn when he was out with the boss a long time ago, and was treated as a human and animal.

"It's you, what a coincidence." Lin Tang said.

The man still didn't speak, his eyes swept over the scabbard at Lin Tang's waist first, and then said, "It's a coincidence."

After the man said this, he went to look at his jade pendant again.He didn't do anything to Lin Tang, but the spell on Lin Tang's body has not been released yet.

"...Uh, so there is no enmity between us, right?" Lin Tang tentatively asked, "If not, I will trouble you to undo the curse first, and I will leave immediately."

The man still didn't move, Lin Tang really didn't understand, he asked in his heart: "Han Zhuo, what the hell is this man doing?"

Hanzhuo didn't answer.

Lin Tang was a little surprised.On weekdays, Han Zhuo would only stop talking to him in one situation, and that was when he was by Lu Wuchang's side.Han Zhuo said that Lu Wuchang's cultivation base is too high, and it is easy to find the existence of his spirit body.

Of course, Han Zhuo didn't like to talk when he was taught by Qingzhu.But such an abrupt reticence is only encountered by Han Zhuo when he meets someone with extremely high cultivation.

Thinking of this, Lin Tang's back felt hairy, and even his voice became much quieter: "This... big brother, ah, no, my lord. The little one should have never messed with you, your lord has a lot of... ..”

The man suddenly moved.He walked up to Lin Tang slowly, looked him up and down, his dark eyes showed no emotion.

"'The Demon Lord's New Favorite'." He said, "Is that you?"

"what?"

Lin Tang was stunned for a moment.

"The Demon Lord's New Favorite" or something, this title is too shameful.And he is not some little pet of the Demon Lord!At best, it can only be regarded as an errand subordinate!

The man's gaze was still sizing him up, Lin Tang felt that he had to say something: "I'm not some 'devil's new favorite'?"

"That's it." The man's tone was flat, "That's why I found the wrong person, you have nothing to do with the Demon Lord."

"Uh, you can't say that, but the new favorite is definitely not me!" Lin Tang said, "But I do have something to do with the Demon Lord, I am a subordinate of the Demon Lord."

"subordinate?"

The man's eyes were light, but he obviously didn't believe it, but what he said was: "It seems that I did find the wrong person."

Lin Tang didn't see the disbelief in his eyes, but nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it must not be me. I am a subordinate of the Demon Lord, and I was ordered to go to Beilu to do a task when I went out this time."

"Beilu?" the man said, "Yongcheng?"

In so many places in Beilu, the first reaction of men is Yongcheng, which surprised Lin Tang.But after thinking about it, the most prosperous area in Hokuriku is Yongcheng, and it is understandable to speculate about Hokuriku.

So he nodded: "Indeed."

"That's such a coincidence." The man's tone was so flat that it seemed to be a stick, "I happen to be going to Yongcheng too. Since it's so fateful, why don't we go together."

Lin Tang: "..."

Although he really wanted to find a traveling companion, he definitely didn't want to find someone who exuded such a dangerous aura.Lin Tang still remembers that even at the most desperate time, this man was still holding the stone in his hand and trying to take someone's life.

"Let's go." But just as he was about to refuse the line, the man had already put away the jade pendant and walked outside.

"According to the map," the man took out the map and said, "It is the fastest way to cross the mountain of Yaowang Valley and enter Yongcheng from here. If you walk with a sword, you can reach the mountain pass in three days."

He agreed in such a self-talking manner that Lin Tang had no chance of refusing.But he still remembered Han Zhuo's words, and said: "Why do you have to go over the mountain...... Wouldn't it be better to go the other way?"

"The distance to climb the mountain is the shortest, why not?" the man asked back.

"That's the boundary of Yaowang Valley." Lin Tang actually forgot why Han Zhuo said he couldn't go, so he had to repeat it.

"The owner of the Medicine King Valley is gentle and kind-hearted, and he is just borrowing the way." Although the man said this, his hand pointed to the road that Lin Tang said, "I'm afraid it will take more than half a month to walk here."

"...Don't you, don't you have a magic weapon for crossing the sky?"

Lin Tang actually had it, but the magic weapon of crossing the sky and some high-grade treasures had been given to Sui Xing, who was also Lu Wuchang, when he first came to this world when he was young and frivolous.

The man is noncommittal.But maybe this sentence was too embarrassing, he finally remembered something, and said lightly: "My name is Li Jiu."

"From... to blame?"

This is not a good word, but Lin Tang obviously can't tell other people's names, so he can only say: "My name is Lin Tang."

"En." Li Jiu said, "Let's go."

In the end, Lin Tang and Li Jiu did not take the road across the Valley of the Medicine King, but found a carriage outside the inn and drove away slowly.Although Li Jiu is obviously not a good character, but Lin Tang feels that Li Jiu is much better than getting along with Boss Lu.

Although Li Jiu seemed to talk to him a lot in the inn, Lin Tang found that he was actually not talkative, and occasionally he would ignore Lin Tang's conversations with him.

But the good thing is that he doesn't need Lin Tang to pay attention to his emotions all the time like he does to his boss.After walking for three days, most of the time, Li Jiu meditated on one side, and Lin Tang slept on the other side. There was a clear separation between the Chu River and the Han Dynasty, and they did not disturb each other.

Of course, Lin Tang didn't just think that Li Jiu walked with him on a whim.In the past few days, he has repeatedly called Han Zhuo, but he has not received a response, which is enough to prove that leaving the blame is not as simple as he seems.

But all in all, Li Jiu now has everything to hurt his performance, and Lin Tang can't escape himself.In this case, it is better to just walk like this first, and then adapt to the situation.

The author has something to say:

hey new man

Let me give you a little spoiler, classmate Li Jiu will make Boss Lu jealous, haha!

On 12.17, I changed the dialogue and description a bit to make Li Yu's character look a little more indifferent. I found that I was actually OOC, and I didn't think about it when I wrote it.
