Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 300 Return to Xiangcheng
In the second year of Shengyuan, June 29.

Xiangcheng South Gate.

A pair of young men and women came to the gate of the city with a bit of travel and dust. .

"I'm blind, I don't know how to line up. Miss Zhong?!"

The guard at the city gate originally scolded, but when he saw Zhong Xiaoyan's appearance, he stuttered.

His eyes kept sweeping back and forth between Zhong Xiaoyan and Lin Ji.

Until Lin Ji took out his token.

"Sentence order?! I have met Lord Commander." The guard quickly saluted.

If it is an ordinary messenger, it may not be clear about the official position in the Tiansi, but those who can stand guard at the gate of the city, their eyesight is naturally unmatched by others.

After crossing the city gate, Lin Ji and Zhong Xiaoyan went straight to Zhong's house.

Just before taking two steps, Zhong Xiaoyan suddenly said: "The guard ran away."

"It should be to inform the government office." Lin Ji smiled.

The commander of the fourth grade is no longer the subordinate of Jian Tiansi, if he enters the city, the people below will naturally have to inform the government office.

Not paying attention to these trivial matters, the two came all the way to Zhongfu.

The housekeeper of Zhong's mansion recognized his young lady, so he quickly brought Lin Ji and Zhong Xiaoyan into the mansion.

After waiting for a while, Zhong Qilun, the head of the Zhong family, appeared together with his wife.

As soon as the two entered the hall, Zhong Qilun pointed at Zhong Xiaoyan with widened eyes.

"You crazy girl, you still know how to come back?!"

"Father and mother." Zhong Xiaoyan lowered her head slightly and called twice.

Soon, Zhong Xiaoyan was taken away by Mrs. Zhong.

Only Lin Ji and Zhong Qilun were left staring at each other in the hall.

"Uncle Zhong." Lin Ji didn't know what to say.

On the contrary, Zhong Qilun looked at Lin Ji with great interest, and the previous anger against Zhong Xiaoyan disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"I heard that you have done a lot of things in Victoria?"

"Uncle heard about it?"

"Such a big event cannot be concealed." Zhong Qilun breathed a sigh of relief, "Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the Tantra of Victoria was directly wiped out. It's really unbelievable."

Zhong Qilun asked again: "I'm going back to Xiangcheng this time, do I still have to go?"

"I just stopped by to visit your two elders, and I will go to Beijing later." Lin Ji explained, "I am now a fourth-rank commander, and I will work in the capital later."

Hearing this, Zhong Qilun was obviously surprised, and there were waves in his eyes.

"Fourth grade? Your cultivation base. Huh? The primordial spirit is like fire, and your primordial spirit cultivation has already begun to absorb the power of Rihua?"

"Yes."

Zhong Qilun praised: "As expected of a young talent that even Supervisor Tiansi has his eyes on, he is about to step into the sixth realm at such a young age. Looking at the past few hundred years, there are not many people who can do it."

"Uncle Miao Zan, this is just a fluke."

"You don't need to say if it's a fluke, how can it be a fluke when it comes to cultivation." Zhong Qilun waved his hand.

After a pause, he said again: "Xiaoyan can't follow you when you enter Beijing this time."

"Why?" Lin Ji was taken aback.

"The last time she was forcibly locked up at home, it was also because her cultivation had reached a critical moment. The Zhong family's Lihuo will eventually be passed on. We are not in a hurry for you to have children, but her cultivation cannot be left behind."

Zhong Qilun patted Lin Ji's wrist, and said, "You won't ruin her future just because of a little affair with your children, will you?"

This was something Lin Ji didn't expect, but he didn't feel any reluctance.

"Uncle's words are too much, I am not a person who does not know what is good or bad."

Zhong Qilun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He was afraid that Lin Ji would not want to, and his girl was stubborn, and she would be in trouble at that time.

That night, Lin Ji stayed in Zhongfu.

Zhong Xiaoyan was obviously also told to stay at home, so she was a little unhappy during the meal.

After dinner, Lin Ji could see that she wanted to say something several times, but she hesitated to speak.

He simply said bluntly: "Compared to loving children, cultivation is the first priority."

"You know?" Zhong Xiaoyan was a little surprised.

"Uncle told me." Lin Ji smiled lightly, "Xiaoyan, you don't want to think that after a hundred years, you will already be an old lady, but I will still be young, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows.

"Why, you still dare to despise me?"

"Men are exclusive."

"It's still like a human saying."

Lin Ji smiled and shook his head, "I mean, the women men like are always young and beautiful."

"Find a fight!"

After playing around, Zhong Xiaoyan went back to her attic to practice.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, someone from the government office came to find Zhong's residence and asked Lin Ji to go to the government office.

Originally, Lin Ji didn't plan to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye to Zhong Xiaoyan and Zhong Qilun directly, and then came to the government office.

When Lin Ji saw Ouyang Ke in the study, Ouyang Ke was writing something.

"Sorry, just a second."

He apologized without raising his head, and Lin Ji couldn't say anything, so he had to wait on the sidelines.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Ouyang Ke finally put down his pen.

"A little official business in Xiangzhou, it's not a big deal, but I'm in a hurry, so I can't delay it."

While talking, Ouyang Ke got up and came to Lin Ji, and looked at Lin Ji with an inexplicable look for a long time.

"What are you looking at?"

Ouyang Ke didn't answer, but instead asked: "Lin Ji, do you know that after you disappeared in Taiyi Sect, Mr. Fang almost started a war with Taiyi Sect for you?"

Lin Ji was taken aback.

"I heard something."

He heard Xu Dingtian talk about it in Sakya Monastery, saying that he wanted Xu Dingtian to pay for his life.

Ouyang Ke nodded, and continued: "It can be seen that Mr. Fang pays close attention to you, Lin Ji...you must remember this kindness."

"The lower officials are not people who don't know good and bad." Lin Ji prevaricated, but there was some speculation in his heart.

He didn't have much contact with Ouyang Ke. Apart from helping Ouyang Ke kill someone, the two had almost no other relationship.

Originally, Lin Ji didn't intend to see Ouyang Ke when he came to Xiangzhou, but he called him over and said these things that had nothing to do with him.

Lin Ji kept an eye out.

Ouyang Ke didn't know what was going on in Lin Ji's mind, he continued: "Under the leadership of Mr. Fang this time, Jian Tiansi destroyed the Buddhist esoteric sect and took back Weizhou, which should belong to Daqin. This is a monstrous achievement. .If there are no accidents, Mr. Fang should be able to secure his position as the chief supervisor of Tiansi."

"My lord, why are you telling me these things?" Lin Ji frowned slightly, "The lower officials only do their errands, and the lower officials don't care about the rest."

Now he faces the town officials, although he is respectful, but he is not as cautious as before.

After all, it is the change brought about by strength.

Hearing this, Ouyang Ke was startled, his face changed slightly.

"Is that so?" After a pause, he waved his hands a little bored, and said, "That's all I have to say. If you still want to go to Beijing, I won't keep you."

"The subordinate retire."
