The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Xiao Yan's caution is worth learning.
But Xiao Xun'er didn't need to be so cautious.
After confirming that Xiao Yan had joined the trap, Xiao Xun'er immediately turned her attention to the person named Xiao Chaoci whom she had not met yet.
It is worth mentioning that Ling Ying can draw portraits.
Not really good looking.
But at least it looks similar.
However, the limitations of the Heart Demon Ring cannot be circumvented simply by not mentioning its name. In fact, when a person who is possessed by the Heart Demon thinks of the caster, he will involuntarily fall into a state of being possessed by the Heart Demon. Even if he no longer wants to think about it, it will take some time to calm down.
It is impossible to provide the image of Lin Chaoci at all.
So, it would be better to say that Xiao Xun'er wanted to see Lin Chaoci.
It would be better to say that she had to bow her head and ask to see Lin Chaoci because she was unable to solve Ling Ying's problem, hoping that Lin Chaoci could solve Ling Ying's problem because Ling Ying was her bodyguard.
Although in this remote little place, there is unlikely to be any danger.
Looking at Wutan City.
There is not even one Douhuang.
Even if we look at the Gama Empire.
There was no one who could bypass Ling Ying, the guard, and kill the person he was protecting.
But the devil in the heart.
Keeping it is ultimately a hidden danger.
If a Dou Zong were to descend, Ling Ying's inner demon would unfortunately erupt at this critical juncture, and her safety would be greatly affected, because she was not sure whether she would have the chance to use the methods her father Gu Yuan left her after losing Ling Ying's obstruction. After all, it takes time to activate the methods.
And, most importantly, Xiao Xun'er is still not sure who has the Xiao family's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. If she alerts the enemy because of Lin Chaoci's affairs, it would be a case of losing the big picture for the small.
Hence, Xiao Yan and other senior members of the Xiao family who knew about the situation reacted in panic.
Xiao Xun'er found a suitable excuse.
On a sunny afternoon.
I visited Lin Chaoci at his home.
……
……
……
"How did she know where the secluded Qilinzi of my Xiao family lived?"
"I know Chaoci."
"On weekdays, he stayed in his own little courtyard, and the little maid who occasionally gave him instructions did not go out for more than half a month."
"It's impossible to be exposed!"
"No...it should be said that the reason for the exposure could not be his fault!"
"check!"
"Investigate thoroughly!"
"I want to see which little bastard leaked such a secret!"
"Do you really think the gag order was issued in vain?"
Upon learning of this, the Great Elder, who had hurried to Xiao Zhan's place, became furious.
The second elder, the third elder, and clan leader Xiao Zhan also looked unhappy.
What they were afraid of was that Lin Chaoci would be targeted.
For this reason, they were even willing to let Xiao Yan continue to be the number one genius.
It was just to block Lin Chaoci's view.
Because it is the genius who is one step ahead of the rest of the world.
Those who are two steps ahead of the rest of the world are either lunatics or monsters, but no matter what they are, they will become people that the world wants to wipe out.
This is how outliers are treated.
Fear of your not fitting in.
Even if you are excellent.
So, in the beginning, the gag order was actually issued to prevent the other two families in Wutan City, namely the Jialie family and the Oba family, from taking any assassination actions against Lin Chaoci in desperation. Because in the years when Lin Chaoci was not present, they had always excluded and targeted Xiao Yan, the first genius of the Xiao family. A six-year-old with the sixth stage of Dou Qi could make them uneasy. A six-year-old with the ninth stage of Dou Qi might even become a Douzhe this year. If they could sit still, it would be wrong. Put yourself in their shoes. Anyway, the first elder, the second elder, the third elder and the patriarch Xiao Zhan of the Xiao family would definitely not allow such monsters to appear in the other two families. So, if the situation changed, they guessed what the other party would do.
As for Xiao Xun'er.
It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
The gag order wasn't issued to keep it from her.
But she did find out the truth.
However, compared to the first elder, the second elder and the third elder were calmer, because things had come to this point and there was no point in getting angry. They could only do their best and leave the rest to fate. They would try their best to remedy the situation. Those responsible would definitely be held accountable. There was a traitor in the family and if he was not removed there would be endless troubles. But at this critical juncture, mobilizing a large force was not advisable.
Therefore, the second elder turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhan.
Throw away the vague speaking style of the past.
He asked directly, "Xiao Zhan, have you investigated the cause and process clearly? Was it this Xiao Xun'er...was it just an accident, or did she have an ulterior motive to visit Xiao Chaoci?"
"Boss, calm down."
"Let's listen to what the patriarch says first."
"What if it's a misunderstanding?"
The third elder advised the first elder.
It was also a signal to the Great Elder to shut up.
Stop outputting this negative energy.
When something like this happened, everyone was very angry, but we are not women and do not need emotional comfort. The top priority is to solve this problem. Even catching the traitor can be put on the back burner. Let's first listen to the results of the investigation by the clan leader Xiao Zhan, and then discuss what to do about the current situation.
The great elder knew that what he said made sense.
Even if I was so angry that I gnashed my teeth.
He also forcibly cut off his indignant words.
Xiao Zhan didn't keep anyone in suspense.
Because he knew very well that he was responsible for letting the wolf into the house, and the Great Elders were also responsible. It was they who jointly decided to buy those Qi Gathering Powders, and the risk should naturally be borne by the four of them, so it didn't matter whether they shared the blame or not.
Based on the results of the investigation in a short period of time, he tried to be as rigorous as possible and said, "This incident seems to be accidental, but I think there is an ulterior motive... The cause was that Chao Ci's little maid went out to get food. Three meals a day is not surprising. She has done so in the past. But on the way back, she accidentally bumped into Xiao Xun'er and accidentally spilled the food all over the floor. It can also be said that it spilled all over Xiao Xun'er. So, the blind maid next to Xiao Xun'er refused to let her go and grabbed Chao Ci's little maid and wouldn't let her go. Coincidentally, the place where the accident happened was not far from Chao Ci's courtyard. The quarrel alarmed Chao Ci. I don't know what Chao Ci was thinking. Anyway, in the end, Chao Ci accepted Xiao Xun'er's visit and brought Xiao Xun'er, the blind maid, and his own little maid into the courtyard... As for what happened later, it can't be investigated. The two haven't come out yet. With my identity, it's not easy for me to go there, because if I go there, it's equivalent to confirming the matter."
"You were right not to go."
"Two children aged five or six...had a conflict with their respective maids."
"You, the clan leader, are going to make a fuss about nothing. It's simply too obvious."
"Even a fool can see that something is wrong."
"Although Xiao Xun'er must have found out some secrets when she went to look for Chao Ci, only a few of us know Chao Ci's details. Xiao Xun'er probably doesn't know the whole story... This can also be supported by the cause of this incident. If Xiao Xun'er had evidence and investigated Chao Ci thoroughly, she wouldn't have to make such a lame excuse!"
"She knocked over the food box... how could she think of that!"
The third elder sneered, his tone not without sarcasm.
The Great Elder also sneered.
Considering that Xiao Zhan and the Second Elder might not know.
Half agreeing, half explaining: "The third brother and I went to see the child five days ago. By the way, the child was teaching his little maid to practice sword. Although his little maid has not yet embarked on the path of cultivation and has not even reached the first level of fighting spirit, her sword skills are already quite good. She can be said to be quick-eyed and quick-handed, her mind and sword are in sync, and she is neither arrogant nor impatient... Unless she is so fast that she can't react, otherwise, she can't bump into people when walking normally. Even if she runs, her reaction speed is enough for her to avoid... So, now it seems that she really let a wolf into the house!"
"wild ambition!"
The second elder echoed.
Then the Third Elder corrected her: "The word 'wolf ambition' is too inappropriate to describe a little girl like Xiao Xun'er. She doesn't have the surname Xiao, and we are not from the same family, so naturally we are not of the same mind. We can't expect her to throw away all the food she ate in the past five or six years in our family just because she has eaten our Xiao family's food for more than a month... Or maybe whoever feeds you is your mother, right?"
Rough words are not rough.
The four of them looked at each other and sighed in tacit understanding.
However, no one said that we shouldn't covet those Qi Gathering Powders.
It is necessary to take the Qi Gathering Powder.
Because there are very few such elixirs in Wutan City.
Any elixir that helps to break through a realm will be more difficult to refine and more expensive than other elixirs of the same quality.
Moreover, there are fewer of them.
It is sheer nonsense to say that a city as big as Wutan City does not have any first-grade or above elixirs. In fact, it even has third-grade elixirs.
But more than 99 percent of the pills are for combat and healing.
For example, the Bloodthirsty Pill.
For example, rejuvenating agents.
There are many, many different elixirs.
However, pills like Gathering Qi Powder, which can help a cultivator at the ninth stage of Dou Qi to condense the Dou Qi cyclone 100% and advance to a Dou Faction, or pills like that can help a Dou Faction break through to a Dou Master, a Dou Master to a Grand Dou Master, or a Grand Dou Master to a Dou Spirit, even the highest-end Mitre Auction does not produce treasures of this level every year.
Therefore, considering the future of Lin Chaoci and Xiao Yan.
And the future of the Xiao family’s children.
If you covet, you just covet.
Anyway, they didn't sell it, so it was just rotting in the pot.
Right now, it is more important to come up with a plan.
But after all the twists and turns, we are back to the same place.
Their identities are really bad.
"Can we only hope that our Xiao family's Qilin will perform on his own?"
"Xiao Xun'er came to visit intentionally."
"That kid Chaoci has no intention of taking the challenge."
"Innocent to intentional... Even if I'm being tricked, it's understandable."
"Really are……"
The great elder held his forehead helplessly and passed the blame on to others: "It's all the fault of that slut. She was so tactless that she even grabbed the little maid of Chao Ci and wouldn't let her leave... What right does she have to stop others from leaving? A month ago, the heads of those two servants weren't enough to scare them, right?"
The Great Elder just said it casually without meaning to.
But it instantly gave the third elder inspiration.
Subconsciously a row of tables.
The other three people in the room were startled.
But the Third Elder himself didn't care about these, and suggested with a sharp look in his eyes: "Yes... It's not easy for us elders to end up like this, but the younger generations below don't have the same concerns as us... Big brother, I remember that your grandson and granddaughter are about the same age as Chao Ci, why don't you let your grandson and granddaughter go to help, or at least let them cover for Chao Ci, it shouldn't be a problem, at most we can just teach them a few words in advance... It's best to pick the smart ones, so that they don't accidentally give assists to Xiao Xun'er later!"
"Makes sense!"
"It makes sense!"
"Right!"
As soon as the words were spoken, three voices of agreement rang out one after another.
However, Xiao Zhan still added a sentence to avoid any disturbance: "But three elders, I suggest that you choose from the parties involved in the previous fight. It is best not to involve outsiders, so as not to suppress one problem but create another. Don't let the Jialie family and the Oba family know the truth without achieving any results on Xiao Xun'er's side."
"Then let... Xiao Yan, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Yu go."
"The second kid in your family has a reckless temperament."
"What a coincidence. Xiao Ning is also quite impulsive."
“Neither of them is suitable.”
"In addition, Xiao Yan is six years old, Xiao Ding is eleven, and Xiao Yu is eight years old, which just covers the upper and lower stages. In addition, Xiao Yu is a girl. After she passes away, including Chao Ci's child, there will be three boys and two girls."
"Something sensitive."
"Even if Xiao Yan and Xiao Ding are not comfortable speaking."
“Both of us are girls.”
"Xiao Yu is still able to bring this up."
The second elder mediated.
Seeing that no one objected, he nodded.
He stood up, went outside, called a servant who was cleaning the yard, and asked him to notify Xiao Yan, Xiao Ding, Xiao Yu and others. Then, he returned to the house and waited quietly and anxiously.
However, the Xiao family's pattern is so small.
It doesn’t mean that Xiao Xun’er’s vision is as small.
Although in Lin Chaoci's eyes, Xiao Xun'er's vision is not that big.
He glanced at Xiao Xun'er, whose white dress was dyed.
And the angry maid behind Xiao Xun'er.
There was also Xiaodie, who looked aggrieved.
Before the Xiao family's top leaders started discussing it, or before the Xiao family's top leaders knew about this matter, the moment he pushed the door open and saw this scene, he knew the meaning of Xiao Xun'er's behavior.
However, he did not expose it.
Because exposing it at this moment is equivalent to rejection.
And to refuse at this moment is to become an enemy.
He doesn't mind being an enemy of Xiao Xun'er.
But that's not necessary.
"Xiao Die, go back first and clean up the edible food."
"As for these two, I will entertain them."
"As for lunch... just have a meal to make do with."
"is that OK?"
Lin Chaoci did not hold anyone responsible, but simply glossed over the matter. It sounded insincere, but there was no need for sincerity.
Xiao Xun'er didn't say anything.
He just looked at the young man in front of him.
But the maid beside her couldn't help it.
She didn't know who the other party was.
But I think he is just an unknown person.
The young lady she served was not only a legitimate daughter of the Xiao family's side branch, but also the most dazzling pearl among the Xiao family's children.
One is a lonely and unknown person.
One is the dazzling apple of the eye.
It was even said that when she and the others were assigned to this young lady, the clan leader, the first elder, the second elder, and the third elder were all present, which was enough to show how noble the status of the young lady she served was.
The other party just glossed over the matter.
That's a bit too arrogant.
Therefore, he subconsciously said: "You are this blind servant..."
"Snapped!"
A crisp and loud slap was heard!
Not to mention the maid who was beaten.
Even Xiaodie and Xiaoxun'er standing by.
They were all startled because they were caught off guard.
"Although I am not your master, your master and I should be on the same level... at least at this moment, we are equal."
"You're wrong, anyway."
"My people are still wrong."
"I am talking to your master, you should understand...what is respect and inferiority!"
"Besides, as a dog, you should be aware of being a dog: don't make decisions for your master, and don't question your master's orders."
"Your master hasn't spoken yet."
"So, it's not time for you to bark yet."
"understand?"
Lin Chaoci wiped his hands slowly.
Big picture?
What a big picture!
If you, Xiao Xun'er, dare to play this kind of trick on me and hit my maid, then you must be prepared to be slapped in the face by me, your master!
If you have the guts, Xiao Xun'er, do you want to refute me?
Or are you rejecting my invitation?
Are you here to help me, my maid?
"plz follow me."
"Xiao Xun'er's clan sister."
Lin Chaoci slowly turned his body to the side and expressed his apology, but it was only verbal, and there was no apology in his tone: "Regarding the incident where my maid Xiaodie accidentally spilled food on your clothes, I apologize to you on her behalf... But adults should not bear grudges. Sister Xiao Xun'er is so beautiful, I believe she should be a broad-minded person, at least she would not embarrass a little maid who made an unintentional mistake... Sister Xiao Xun'er, I wonder if you agree with what I said?"
"Of course I agree."
"After all, Brother Xiao Chaoci said so."
"Even if I'm really narrow-minded."
"If you want to pretend, you should pretend to be more generous."
Xiao Xun'er smiled and nodded.
He responded without showing any anger at all.
He did not refuse Lin Chaoci's invitation.
I didn't even pretend to be confused and say something like "You asked me to go over there for something."
Smile to smile.
A round of fighting has passed with swords and sabers.
