New and dark light years

Chapter 47: Cunning
Li Lin was very surprised. Isn't it true that a True Lord cannot leave the area he is guarding at will?

Moreover, the Four Wonderful True Lords have not "summoned" other True Lords yet, so how did the Tree Fairy Lady get here?

The Tree Fairy Queen floated down, her long snake tail extending outward in the darkness. She was very quiet, but there seemed to be emotions surging in her eyes as she stared at Li Lin.

"go back!"

Li Lin was stunned. Go back?

Now?

He looked at the dark night outside the window. Going back now would not be an easy thing.

"Is it urgent? Did something happen in the village?" Li Lin asked.

The Tree Fairy Queen did not speak, but shook her head slightly.

Didn’t something happen in the village?
Li Lin carefully observed the cold expression on the face of the Tree Fairy Lady. Then, as if he understood something, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow night."

The Tree Fairy Queen's expression softened a little.

It seems that it was indeed my spending the night in the county town that caused her unhappiness.

But he used to stay overnight in the county town from time to time. Why didn't she react so much then, but now... Li Lin looked around, looked at the room, and had an idea in his mind.

"I bought this place just to make it easier to settle down." Li Lin said softly, "This isn't my real home. Shangtikou Village is it."

Hearing this, the figure of the Tree Fairy Lady slowly faded and then disappeared.

Li Lin wiped the cold sweat from his head, then stretched and was about to go to sleep, but suddenly jumped out of bed, opened the window and looked at the sky in the distance.

In his perception, there was a huge amount of resentment arising there.

Li Lin estimated the distance and convenience and found that that was where the big lake outside the county town was.

The resentment that I felt in the pavilion during the day should be the one that suddenly emerged now.

Let’s go out and see what’s going on.

This resentment was so overwhelming that Li Lin felt a little uneasy.

He pushed open the main bedroom door and just as he reached the second entrance, he heard a voice from the front wing shouting, "Who's moving around?"

"it's me."

"master?"

"Correct."

Zhang Afu came out of the room and saw Li Lin in the moonlight. He bowed and asked, "Master, why are you going out so late?"

"I am a spirit hunter." Li Lin moved the white jade token on his waist.

Zhang Afu stood in awe and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Master."

Li Lin waved his hand: "Leave the door open for me. I don't know when I will be back."

"Yes, sir."

Li Lin left home and came to the foot of the city wall on the east side of the county town, preparing to go up.

There were local soldiers patrolling here. When they saw Li Lin coming up, they shouted, "Who is it?"

"Spirit Hunter, Li Lin."

After showing the white jade badge, the patrolling soldiers let them pass.

Li Lin came to the city wall, but unexpectedly found a familiar figure standing there.

It’s Zhao Hao.

"Mr. Zhao, why are you here?" Li Lin walked over and asked.

"I couldn't sleep because of that thing in the lake, so I came to take a look." Zhao Hao looked at Li Lin and smiled, "I think you feel the same way."

Li Lin nodded.

Standing on the city wall, you can see the lake in the distance.

Under the moonlight, the lake surface has only slight scale patterns and looks very quiet.

But only they, the spirit hunters, knew that something was making a fuss in the lake.

Not long after, Su Huafang also came up.

"Oh, what a coincidence," Su Huafang said with a smile. Li Lin couldn't help but ask, "Seeing how calm you all are, you should know what's in the lake?"

"Yes," Su Huafang said with a wry smile, "It was just an injustice from a long time ago. That person harbored resentment, and even after being drowned in the lake, he never gave up on his desire for revenge. He would cause trouble every one or two years."

"A wrongful conviction?" Li Lin was a little surprised. "The county magistrate doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Su Huafang waved his hand and said, "It's the fault of the previous county magistrate... He was also dismissed from his post and his entire family was exiled to Ningguta because of this case."

"Is it violent when it makes a noise?"

Zhao Hao smiled and said, "It's not fierce, just a bit of a show."

"Is that so?" Li Lin yawned and said, "Then I'll go back and rest. Thank you both for your hard work."

"You're welcome."

The county town is managed by Su Huafang, Zhao Hao and three other spirit hunters. After all, the county town is very large and there are many troubles, so it is normal to deploy several spirit hunters.

Li Lin returned to his new home and fell asleep immediately.

I didn't get up until almost noon.

He gathered the five people together and said, "I won't be staying here for long, so you guys will help me take care of this house for now."

The five people looked at Li Lin quietly.

Li Lin took out a few banknotes, put them in a box, and handed it to Zhang Afu: "There are 100 taels of silver in here. Take it and hire someone who can cook. From now on, all the money you spend on rice, vegetables, and clothes will come from this box. I will add money to it regularly."

I have to say, last night's meal was a bit unpalatable.

Li Lin felt that the food he cooked was better than theirs.

Zhang Afu bent down and said, "Master, please rest assured. I will definitely take good care of this family."

Then Li Lin went to the restaurant, sat by the window, drank sweet fermented glutinous rice wine and tasted the delicious food.

Not long after, two guests came to a table not far away, looking exhausted.

Li Lin didn't care at first. It was normal for customers to come and go in a restaurant.

But the content of the conversation between the two people during dinner caught Li Lin's attention.

They thought they spoke very softly, and logically, most people couldn't hear them.

But Li Lin still heard it. After all... he is now a qualified spirit hunter, and his hearing ability has improved a lot.

"Where on earth did Zhang Xianrui and Yan Hai go? We've searched three places and still can't find them."

"Now the only village left to be checked is Shangtikou Village."

"The Master said that it doesn't matter whether the person is alive or dead, but those two pieces of clothing must be found and brought back to the clan."

"What if I can't find it?"

"If we can't find it, we'll just kill everyone in the village, and then we'll find it. Someone will send it out to us."

Hearing this, Li Lin calmly asked the waiter to come and settle the bill.

Then he left the restaurant and went straight to the blacksmith shop, bought a red tasseled spear, and then waited in the shadows of the alley outside the restaurant.

Not long after, the two men also walked out of the restaurant.

After they left the city gate, they followed the country road to Shangtikou.

Li Lin followed from a distance behind, using the woods on both sides of the country road to crouch down and move forward.

At this time, [Steal +1], which had not appeared for a long time, appeared again.

Now stealth is used to ambush the wild monsters, and there is no improvement in familiarity.

Unexpectedly, following two outsiders brought me an unexpected surprise.

The two men took big steps when they walked, but Li Lin could easily keep up with them. He had practiced light body skills for a few days and his walking speed was much faster than before.

After walking for a while, at a nearly right-angle bend, Li Lin, who was familiar with the terrain, used the trees as obstacles, sped up and caught up, quickly closing the distance between the two sides.

It has reached Li Lin's attack range.

His eyes were cold, and without hesitation he thrust the tip of his spear into the ground, then looked through the gaps between the trees at the two people not far away.

His hands began to form seals!
