Lin Xiao and the others had left the square for quite some time, but he was still shocked. He was a human, entering the world of cultivators where the demons coexisted, this was the first time he saw someone kill someone.
The instant that Yan Danqing's scabbard was stabbed into the youth's chest, Lin Xiao felt as if his heart had been stabbed in as well.
"Just slowly get used to it." As Xiao Qi walked beside Lin Xiao, she could feel the latter's change in mood, and was no longer as relaxed as usual. She added, "Every cultivator has a dead body behind them, and every mighty being has a pile of corpses beneath their feet. Every emperor has personally dyed the sea of blood.
Lin Xuan, who was being led by Lin Xiao, also had a worried expression on her face. She had never seen Lin Xiao with such a dark expression.
"Big brother."
"I'm fine." Lin Xiao shook his head, "Slowly. Little Seven, go register first."
Seeing Lin Xiao like this, Xiao Qi didn't say anything more. There were some things that had to be comprehended by the person himself. Others saying it a thousand or ten thousand times were useless words.
The competition for the top 100 rankings was not some mystic realm nor was it some space. It was a building. A building called the Demon Comics Co., Ltd., gathered wealth in the name of comics. Demon cartoons were extremely famous in the human world. Lin Xiao had once hunted down a cartoon of "My Friend is a Demon" in a comic book of this house.
As she walked into the building, Lin Xiao felt that it was natural. It was simply too natural for her to be associated with demons. There was a reception desk, welcoming staff, management, and security guards. They stayed at their own jobs.
If he didn't know what Lin Xiao was doing here, he would have thought that it was just a comic book company.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" A staff member walked up to Lin Xiao and the others.
"We came to register." As she spoke, Xiao Qi took out a demon spirit stone and gave it to the staff member.
The staff took the demon spirit stones and nodded. Then, he stood up and led the way. "Please follow me. The registration room is here."
Lin Xiao and the rest followed the staff member into the building and arrived in front of a room. The staff member turned around and said, "The registration office is right here. No unrelated personnel are allowed to enter."
Lin Xiao glanced at Xiao Qi and saw the latter nod her head. She passed Lin Xuan to Xiao Qi and pushed open the door to enter the room.
"Is that the registration? Sit down. " An old man wearing glasses sat behind Zhuo and glanced at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao acknowledged and quickly sat down. He felt that he had returned to the time when he was hired.
"Name." "Lin Xiao."
"Age." "Twenty-one."
"Gender." "Male."
Can't you see the sex? Lin Xiao was speechless.
"Race." "Humans."
"Yes."
Lin Xiao was stunned. What did 'belong' mean?
"What sects or organizations have you joined so far? If you don't have any, you can fill them in for rogue cultivators." The old man explained.
Lin Xiao nodded his head. What should he say? Although his relationship with Ye Qing was like that, Ye Qing had already been expelled from the family, so he couldn't say that he belonged to the Yu Shui clan. Then...
"Hong Feng."
The old man suddenly raised his head and glanced at Lin Xiao. His gaze contained too many things, causing Lin Xiao to feel uneasy.
Fortunately, the old man only glanced at him once before continuing to fill in the information. He did not continue to size up Lin Xiao, otherwise Lin Xiao would feel uncomfortable all over.
"The name 'Red Maple' makes one's imagination run wild." After the old man finished filling in the information he gave a strange smile and handed a card to Lin Xiao, saying, "You are the 780th person to sign up. Keep the token well, you will need it when you enter the trial ground the day after tomorrow.
This card was extremely important. Losing it meant losing the right to participate in the competition. Lin Xiao received the card and stored it in her ring. Then, she stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the old man said, "Hongfeng, why are you still here?"
Lin Xiao hurriedly left the room, leading Xiao Qi and the rest out of the Monster Comics Building. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Qi looked at Lin Xiao in puzzlement. Why did she drag them away without saying anything?
Lin Xiao told Xiao Qi the whole story. His intuition told him what the old man might do to them, so he pulled Xiao Qi and Lin Xuan away from the Demon Comics company as soon as they stepped out of the door. In any case, they already reported their names, so they didn't need to stay there.
"You said you belong to the Red Maple." Xiao Qi's eyes were dim and illusory, and after a long time, her expression became resolute once more, "Fine, then let Hong Feng appear before the eyes of the people once more."
"I... Did you say something wrong? " Lin Xiao had a feeling that he had said the wrong thing.
Xiao Qi smiled, shook her head, and took a step forward. Lin Xiao hurriedly carried Lin Xuan and followed behind her.
"I was just surprised that you said it belongs to Hong Feng." Xiao Qi's face revealed a smile. Lin Xiao saying that she was Hong Feng made her heart warm.
"I ate your food and stayed with you, and even learned your family's inherited cultivation technique. No matter what, I still can be considered half a member of Red Maple." Lin Xiao's attitude was very serious. He could see every word and action that Xiao Qi did to him; he was not an ungrateful person.
Xiao Qi looked at Lin Xiao and smiled. "I suddenly feel that you're actually a little handsome, little handsome."
"Of course." Lin Xiao raised her head and was about to tease again, "After all, a lover's eyes can see the light," when Xiao Qi added, "You're about to reach the standard of a duck."
Lin Xiao's face darkened and she immediately stopped talking. Silence at this time was the best option.
"Lin Xiao, is it really possible to get Hong Feng for only two people?" Lin Xiao turned her head. At this moment, Xiao Qi's eyes were far away, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.
"Sister Xiao Qi, and me, too." Lin Xuan let go of Lin Xiao's hand and ran in front of Little Seven, jumping and jumping.
Xiao Qi returned to her senses and squatted down to pat Lin Xuan's head. She smiled and said, "Good, good, good. There's also Xuan Xuan Xuan."
"Mother, what about me?"
Without waiting for Xiao Qi to finish speaking, Lin Xiao suddenly pulled out her hat and waved her small hand, trying to attract her attention.
Although Xiao Qi was moved in her heart, she was too embarrassed to respond.
"Shut up." Lin Xiao took Lin Yan out of the hat and looked at Lin Yan in the hat, giving him a warning, "Lin Yan, if you dare to yell again, I will really suppress you."
Lin Yan crossed his arms and pouted unhappily, "Father, you are too biased. Auntie, please let her be. My words will not stop being suppressed. I am your own daughter."
Lin Xiao lambasted Lin Yan in her heart. Since when did he have to acknowledge Lin Yan as his daughter? He did not want to be a father at such a young age.
"I don't have a daughter like you." When Lin Xiao saw Lin Yan glaring at her, she immediately opened her eyes wide and stared back.
Aunt, Little Mother." In the next second, Lin Yan's eyes were filled with tears as he jumped onto Lin Xuan's head. With a teary voice, he said, "Father doesn't want me anymore. Little Flame is now an orphan, wuu …
Seeing Lin Xuan and Xiao Qi's angry gazes, Lin Xiao could not retort. She pointed at the crying Lin Yan and could not utter a single word.
"Lin Yan, if you have the ability to cry, cry for me!"
