Chapter 356 - Strange atmosphere

"What, so you are Huashan Mountain's disciple, please excuse me. Sect Leader Ling, I really didn't know that Huashan Mountain had sent someone else." After hearing what Ling Xiao had said, Lin Zhennan's face was full of shock, but he quickly reacted and apologized.

No matter what happened to the Huashan Mountain Sect, it had nothing to do with the Forwey's escort office. On the contrary, Lin Zhannan was in need of help right now, so he wished that he could get closer to Ling Xiao as soon as possible.

Ling Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "This has always been an internal matter of my Huashan Mountain Sect. You don't need to know the specifics, all you need to know is who the current Sect Leader is."

"Yes, yes, yes, Sect Leader Ling, you can stay here. No matter if it's the environment or comfort, this is definitely the best place." Lin Zhenan brought Ling Xiao to a corner of the courtyard and introduced him.

Ling Xiao lifted his head to look, and discovered that the scenery here was indeed not bad, and it was also very quiet.

"Alright, this is it. Sorry for troubling you, Boss Lin." Ling Xiao smiled.

Hearing that, Lin Zhannan waved his hand and said: "Sect Leader Ling, what are you saying, it's getting late, you have a long journey, you must be tired, I'll get someone to prepare some hot water for Sect Leader Ling to wash up. After that, let's go eat dinner together, how about it?"

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "That's great. I haven't washed up properly during this entire journey of half a month. I do feel a bit uncomfortable."

"Alright, alright, please come to Sect Leader Ling." Lin Zhannan very politely escorted Ling Xiao into his room.

Although the two of them did not talk too much about the Huashan Mountain s, Lin Zhenan was not an idiot. Seeing that Ling Xiao had become a Sect Leader at such a young age, the reason was naturally not that simple, because Lin Zhennan knew Yue Buqun's strength.

Therefore, Lin Zhannan felt that the secrets on Ling Xiao's body were far more numerous than he had imagined. Hence, Lin Zhannan did not dare to rashly probe him or provoke him.

He brought Ling Xiao into the room, and after Ling Xiao looked around, Lin Zhannan asked: "How is it, Sect Leader Ling, are you satisfied?"

Ling Xiao looked at Lin Zhenan's attentive smile and said indifferently: "Not bad, I am very satisfied."

What he did not know was that it was Lin Zhennan's obsequious flattery that allowed the Lin Family's incense to continue burning.

Not long after, the servants of the Lin Family brought in hot water and change of clothes. Lin Zhannan naturally left first.

After settling Ling Xiao down, Lin Zhannan sent people to prepare some good quality food and wine. The table was filled with delicious dishes, but there were only two sets of chopsticks, which was enough to show how much importance Lin Zhannan placed on Ling Xiao.

In the Main Hall, Lin Zhannan was pouring wine, hearing the footsteps, he raised his head to look, and discovered that a servant was bringing Ling Xiao in. He hurriedly put down the wine pot and stepped forward to say: "Sect Leader Ling is here, coincidentally, we just finished preparing here."

Ling Xiao looked at the table full of delicacies and could not help but shake his head and laugh: "Boss Lin, what's the point of this? We only have two people to eat.

Hearing this, Lin Zhannan waved his hand and said: "Sect Leader Ling, these are all the special dishes of Fuzhou, you guys can't usually have them. Come, let's have a taste today, they are all fresh ingredients, good dishes."

Ling Xiao nodded as he took his seat. "Alright, since that's the case, then I won't be polite."

"Come, cheers!" Lin Zhannan raised his wine cup as he loudly laughed.

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Zhannan's face was completely red, but Ling Xiao was still fine, he had a calm demeanor.

"Sect Leader Ling, you really have a good tolerance for alcohol. In Fuzhou, there aren't many people who have tasted my wine, I didn't think that I would lose to you so quickly." Lin Zhennan gave a thumbs up and said.

Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed lightly: "All of these are good wine and good dishes, I am currently happily eating, and naturally cannot be affected by my drunkenness."

"Is that so? Since Sect Leader Ling likes these dishes, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you. I will not leave until I'm drunk tonight!" Hearing that, Lin Zhennan laughed out loud, and then poured himself another cup, and raised it towards Ling Xiao.

Just like this, with cup after cup of his stomach, just as Ling Xiao was feeling a little intoxicated, Lin Zhannan directly laid on the table with a thud. Not long after, a loud and clear snoring sound came out.

Seeing that, Ling Xiao helplessly shook his head, and then shouted loudly: "Men, bring Chief Lin back home to rest!"

Very quickly, two servants ran in. When one of them saw Lin Zhannan's red face and drunk appearance, he could not help but shake his head and sigh as he left the main hall: "It's been a long time since I last saw the chief escort. Where did this wine immortal come from, how could he drink so much?"

Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed indifferently, then, seeing that there were so many good dishes left on the table, he shook his head somewhat regretfully, then picked up a jug of wine and walked steadily towards the door, walking along the courtyard and admiring the beautiful scenery under the moon, he slowly returned to his own room.

The reason why Ling Xiao gave Lin Zhannan such face and drank so much was because he knew that the peaceful days of Lin Family and Forwey's escort office had come to an end.

A huge storm was brewing, and it was almost ready.

After returning to his residence, Ling Xiao drained the remaining wine from his wine pot in one gulp. Then, he sat down on the bed with his legs crossed, and began meditating on his bed.

On the journey to the Fuzhou, Ling Xiao had not properly meditated and cultivated for a period of time because he had been disturbed by the matters regarding the bandit. His progress was slightly delayed, but fortunately, Ling Xiao was not in a hurry to train for ten days.

Although Ling Xiao had been stuck at this realm for a while, dealing with the things that would happen next was still very easy.

The night quietly passed as the sky gradually turned white. A new sun also gradually rose, and a new day also began.

Ling Xiao who was on the bed slowly opened his eyes, followed by even louder and louder footsteps that continuously resounded from the courtyard.

Ling Xiao got off the bed, and after stretching his muscles, he opened the door and walked into the courtyard. Seeing the servants running back and forth, Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, then walked out towards the front courtyard.

Along the way, they would constantly encounter nervous servants or servants of the Escort Office. It was as if they were sending some quick report or message, and everyone's expression was unnatural.

The entire Lin Mansion was enveloped in a strange atmosphere, and after just one night, the atmosphere had completely changed. When Ling Xiao arrived at the courtyard, the atmosphere became even more intense.
