C1354 Dreams Are Broken Hearts Are Dead!
Jiang Xia snorted coldly as endless killing intent surged in his eyes, "Dragon warrior, you must die in my hands."
Ji Qingyuan thought for a moment. "Do you have a grudge with the Dragon Hero?"
"Of course, he ruined my good fortune. I have a deep and irreconcilable hatred for him." Jiang Xia gritted his teeth and said.
"Since that's the case, I agree to cooperate with you. However, in this area of Shen City, you must help me remove all obstacles. Can you do it?" Ji Qingyuan said in a low voice.
Jiang Xia nodded his head and stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Ji Qingyuan.
"After we take down the medicine market in Shen City, I'll definitely hold a celebration feast for you at the Shen City."
Jiang Xia grinned and said, "Then you just have to wait for me."
With that, he left the courtyard like a ghost.
… ….
In a tomb in the southern Yue State, in Yang City.
"Old Lin, I say, why do you have to trouble yourself with this? Why don't you just withdraw? Come with me, we'll guard the tomb!" The first mister smiled and stared at Lin Li who was sitting opposite of him. The two of them had just met when they started playing chess again.
To them, two people practicing chess was akin to meeting an opponent and meeting a good talent.
Lin Li held a chess piece in his hand as he stared at the chess board. His eyes were slightly squinted as he revealed a mysterious smile. It was a smile that belonged to an old school of martial arts.
It was as though this chess piece was falling with extreme difficulty.
"First Mister, please give me some pointers. If I fail, then tell me, where should I end up with this one?" Lin Li sighed.
"All these years, I had forgotten about it. Twenty years ago, that abandoned chess piece was found again, and now, it has been lost again."
"It just so happens that the chess piece I'm holding becomes a black game again. Him? Want me to die? Want to kill me? How hard!"
First Mister gave Lin Li a disdainful look, "Old Lin, it's indeed hard for you to fall, but then again, you will fall eventually, won't you?"
"Hehe, that evil creature has become the successor. No way, even if I die, I won't be able to take this lying down. Otherwise, after I go to hell, I won't even have the face to face with Lin Family's ancestors!"
Lin Li let out a long sigh. However, he was feeling extremely depressed in his heart.
The two old men were playing chess themselves, but they were discussing the capital's Lin Family and the matter between Lin Xuan and Lin Yu.
Eldest Mister was a sage with great wisdom, living in seclusion outside of this world. Even after hearing what Lin Li said, he still could not find a solution.
After pondering for a long time, suddenly, the First Mister asked leisurely, "Old Lin, I will ask more. Do you really think that Lin Xuan is dead?"
Standing to the side, Xue Yi's eyes flickered as he looked at Lin Li.
Without waiting for Lin Li to answer, Xue Yi confidently said, "Old Master, I say that Elder Brother Xuan will definitely not die so easily. No matter how strong his opponent is, he will definitely have a way to deal with him."
Lin Li put down a chess piece, looked up at First Mister, then glanced at Xue Yi and said, "Speaking of which, it's quite strange. Earlier, I was assassinated by that young expert, Jiang Xia, at my home. Just as I was about to die, a self-proclaimed 'Dragon Knight' suddenly appeared and defeated Jiang Xia, saving my life."
The First Mister's eyes lit up, "It looks like you already know who the Dragon Warrior is."
"Ai, forgive my stupidity, but I also hope that the Dragon Warrior will be Lin Xuan. However, even though he is wearing a dragon head mask, it is hard to guess whether that person is Lin Xuan or not."
"Right now, I plan to hide behind the scenes for the time being. I must investigate whether Lin Xuan is still alive or not, and I must stop Lin Yu. Even the capital's Lin Yuan and the foundation of hundreds and thousands of years of Lin Family must not fall into the hands of these two people.
Hearing this, the First Mister laughed heartily and raised his hand to signal Lin Li, "Play chess, play chess ~"
Xue Yi also had a bit of hope for Lin Xuan's unknown life and death in his heart.
In the past, Lin Xuan had helped him, so he didn't want anything to happen to Lin Xuan.
Lin Li smiled in relief. With First Mister, the two of them focused on playing chess again.
… ….
Shen City, Cloud Mist Mountain, Lin Family Villa.
Mu Qing was all alone in her home, wearing a nightgown. She stood in front of the french windows in the living room, looking at the Cloud Mist Mountain and the lingering clouds.
However, no matter how much the Cloud Mist Mountain coiled around the aura of clouds and mist, or how charming and gentle the scenery was, she was not the slightest bit interested in enjoying the scenery.
After a while, Lin Cai walked into the living room and bowed, "Madam, you were looking for me?"
Mu Qing turned slightly to the side and said to Lin Cai, "Cai, do you have any idea on what I asked you to investigate?"
"Madam, you have instructed me to investigate the matter regarding the Dragon Warrior." Lin Cai hesitated and said in a low voice with a slight frown.
Mu Qing's expression hardened. "Could it be that he hasn't appeared since Xuan'er's funeral?"
Lin Cai took a deep breath, "Madam, I sent people to investigate everywhere. It's as if the Dragon Knight just disappeared from the world without a trace."
"That's strange. Cai, you said that when Master was assassinated, the Dragon Warrior appeared and saved him. In your opinion, why does this Dragon Knight wear a mask? Is he trying to hide something? "
Lin Cai rolled his eyes and thought for a moment. "Madam, forgive me for being blunt, but I feel that this Dragon Knight looks very familiar. Say, could it be Xuan …"
Mu Qing suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Cai, "You also think that the Dragon Warrior and Xuan'er are similar, right?"
Lin Cai nodded, "That's right. Although I have that thought in my heart, I have never dared to say it out loud."
"Ai, if Xuan'er was still alive, how great would that be." Mu Qing heaved a long sigh.
Lin Cai hesitated for a moment before asking, "Madam, Young Master Yu …"
"Don't tell me about that beast!" Mu Qing cursed angrily, "If it wasn't for this beast, Xuan wouldn't have died, and Master wouldn't have been killed."
Lin Cai frowned, "Madam, I am afraid Young Master Yu and Second Old Master will not let this matter rest just because they covet our Lin Family."
Mu Qing went silent. Her mind was a mess, especially after the incident with Lin Xuan. It was as if she was living in a dream these days. How she wished everything after waking up from the dream was just a dream!
Lin Xuan was still alive. That was her biggest hope, but, would hope be shattered eventually?
When she realized that Lin Xuan was completely gone, and that he was really dead, her heart felt like it was breaking, and she heard the sound of her heart breaking again and again, as if she saw her heart broken, dripping blood, that was the sorrow of losing her son.
But, would this all end?
