The little monk nodded: "Yes, but this time it was Mr. Xia who came by himself. It's probably just routine."
"Un, I think so. I understand, you can go back now."
"Yes, Master Fang."
Fang Chang Xuan An turned to look at Lin Zi Chen. He said, "Sir Lin, let's go. It's the perfect time to send you to the front courtyard."
Lin Zi Chen nodded and followed Xuan An outside. However, he had a faint feeling that this Mister Xia was not an ordinary person.
When Xuan An had heard that he had come, he seemed to be wondering why Lu Li had come so early. It seemed like they had made an appointment in advance.
And since this little monk also said it was routine, then this Mr. Xia should come back to the Hidden Cloud Temple every once in a while, maybe … It was the person who transplanted the Dark Pearl Grass to the Hidden Cloud Temple.
Thinking of this, Lin Zichen decided to secretly observe for a while. Perhaps he could find out why these people raised the little purple lion.
Arriving at the front yard, Lin Zichen saw a man's back from afar. That man's figure was sturdy, and he wore a grey training uniform. At this moment, he had his hands behind his back as he raised his head to look at an ancient tree.
His perception seemed to be quite good. Just as Xuan An and Lin Zicheng entered the front courtyard, he turned around.
"Mr. Xia, you're here."
"Greetings, sir." Xuan An greeted respectfully.
Looking at the man's face, Lin Zi Chen was slightly stunned. It was actually him?
The last time they met was deep in the mountains of Van'er. This person was dressed in hiking equipment, but even though he had changed his clothes, Lin Zichen was still able to recognize him.
Boss Xia of the Crimson Fire Group!
On that day, when Big Boss Xia, Little Beard and Zhang Yan and Zhang Mao killed the Peng, it was Lin Zichen who stole the beast spirit. Of course, that was also the time when Lin Zichen made Xiao Feng strong and let her live in his Myriad Manifestation Space.
Elder Brother Xia looked at Xuan An, then looked at Lin Zichen, who was standing next to him, and couldn't help but frown.
"Who is he?" Old Xia Avenue.
"Oh, Amitabha, this is our benefactor." Xuan An clasped his hands together.
Lin Zichen politely smiled and nodded at Eldest Brother Xia, looking like a Buddhist who had come to bestow power on him.
Elder Xia glanced at him, then looked at Xuan Fang and said, "Try your best not to let anyone else into the backyard from now on."
"Yes, Mr. Xia." Xuan An nodded.
"Mm, let's go in." After saying that, he walked into the inner court.
Xuan An clasped his hands at Lin Zichen, "Benefactor Lin, I won't send you off. I hope you can come back to the temple and the flowers and plants in the courtyard if you have the chance. Besides the Violet Vine, we can discuss about them."
Lin Zi Chen nodded his head and laughed to himself. This old man was really greedy for money, he didn't forget to sell his flowers and plants before he left …
"Ok, don't send me off, Master Fang."
After he finished speaking, Lin Zichen walked out of the Cloud Hidden Temple by himself.
In Xuan An's residence, Boss Xia looked at the Violet Vine from afar and nodded.
Xuan An replied, "Mr. Xia, there's no problem. During this period of time, no one has entered my courtyard."
Elder Xia rolled his eyes at Xuan An. "Then what about that person just now?" Be careful in the future. If something happens, you won't be able to take care of it! "
After all, Eldest Brother Xia told the Hidden Cloud Temple to look after the Violet Vine. Aside from the initial payment, he didn't pay much. He also didn't allow the temple to receive too many visitors. During this period of time, the Hidden Cloud Temple was truly poor.
Boss Xia stepped forward to take a closer look at the Violet Vine. "Rest assured, Mr. Xia. Everything is normal."
However, at this moment, Eldest Brother Xia's eyes were wide open. After all, he was an elite of the hunting team, and his perception was far greater than an average person's. As soon as he got close, he felt that something was off.
"Normal? "Don't worry my ass, just who touched this Violet Vine?!"
Elder Brother Xia suddenly turned around and shouted, giving Xuan An a great fright. He immediately took two steps back and waved his hands.
"No, no, definitely not …"
"You …"
Elder Brother Xia pointed at Xuan An, then turned his head to look at the Violet Vine again. This time, he looked even more carefully as he opened up the vine with his hand and peered inside.
The tenacity of the vines were extremely good, so even if they were all removed, they would still return to their original state after being released. This was what Boss Xia and the rest did every time they inspected the vines.
"Old thing Xuan An, you've f * cking gotten yourself into big trouble. Let me tell you, you'd better explain to me just who exactly has come into contact with this Violet Vine!"
Xuan An thought about it before revealing an awkward expression. "Really, I don't have any …"
"No?" "Then you're going to steal my life. Say it, is it or not?" Elder Brother Xia directly grabbed Reverend Xuan An's collar and raised his fist to hit him. "If you don't say it, I'll take your life today!"
Xuan An was so scared that he almost kneeled down. He arched his back with a face full of fear and hastily said, "Y-yes! Mister Xia, I remember you!"
"Humph, then why the f * ck aren't you going to say it, say it!"
Along with Boss Xia's shout, the other monks were also attracted over. For a time, the exterior of Reverend Xuanan's courtyard was completely surrounded by monks.
"All of you, come in. I'll tell you all, if you can't find the Violet Vine today, I'll make you pay with your lives!"
Hearing this, the monks looked at each other in dismay and fear. However, they did not dare to disobey, and one by one, they walked in and lowered their heads without saying a word.
Xuan An said, "Mr. Xia, yesterday … "The temple was on fire. I didn't stare at the Violet Vine for a while, and it seemed that I forgot to lock the gate when I went out. Could it be that it was then that the Violet Vine moved?"
"Fire? This Hidden Cloud Temple has not had a fire for many years, how could they have one without reason? " Elder Xia slightly narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought that this was a man-made fire.
Reverend Mystic One pondered for a moment. "This …" "I don't know. I was sleeping and it was Zikong who woke me up."
"Zi Kong? Which one is Zi Kong? " Elder Xia asked.
The few monks all raised their heads to look around, but their expressions were all filled with surprise; Zi Kong was actually not here.
"Zi Kong … "No, Mr. Xia. Probably in another courtyard." Xuan An said.
"Hmph, go get him for me!"
"Yes sir!"
Following that, Xuan An sent someone to look for Zi Kong. Boss Xia then continued, "Are you saying that he was the one who moved the Violet Vine?"
"No, Mister Xia, that person you just met, Benefactor Lin, told me yesterday that he wanted to buy the Violet Vine, but I did not agree." Xuan An said.
"Buy a Violet Vine?"
"Yes, and I was just joking when I offered a price of ten million. I didn't expect him to actually agree to it!"
"Ten million?" "Xuan An, are you crazy?" Boss Xia shouted.
"Mr. Xia, don't be anxious, I was just joking. Who knew that he was really willing to buy it. Only now did I know that he was really rich, but … Did he really sneak into my yard during the fire? " The abbot said after thinking for a moment.
"Hmph, f * ck, is there any other explanation? In this period of time, how many people had the Hidden Cloud Temple received? "How many people spend the night?" Elder Xia asked.
"No, no."
"Then that's it! Fuck, why aren't you chasing after them? Let me tell you this, if you can't find Zi Kong and Almsgiver Lin today, then I want all of you dead!"
Elder Xia was so angry that his hands were trembling. The anger in his eyes showed that he was not joking. If he couldn't get Lin Zichen and Zi Kong back, he would really kill them.
After all, this was a remote place. If Elder Brother Xia really did kill someone here, no one would be able to find out.
In next to no time, two young monks ran into the courtyard of the abbot. Both of them had an expression of surprise on their faces, and one of them said, "Master … Master …"
"How is it? Did you find Zi Kong? " Xuan An asked nervously.
At this time, he also felt that something was amiss. The place where he stayed in was not the nearest to where the fire happened yesterday, so why was he the first one to notice it?
And why did he come to find me? Logically speaking, he should have directly gone to look for the elder. It was very possible that he was luring him away just to leave the mountain!
"No, I've searched it thoroughly. Martial Uncle Zi Kong is not in the temple at all!" The little monk said, out of breath.
Hearing this, Xuan An took two steps back in a daze. He was finished. It seemed like it was true. Zi Kong had run away, and Master Lin had also left. This time, it was truly over …
Thinking of this, he looked at Eldest Brother Xia with an apologetic expression.
"Mr. Xia, I … It's my fault... "
"Your fault?" Boss Xia took a step forward and grabbed his collar. "So your mistake is over?"
"I'll compensate you, Mr. Xia. Can I compensate you according to the price?"
"Compensation?" Can you afford it? Let me tell you, even if you sold the Hidden Cloud Temple, it wouldn't be enough to compensate! " Elder Xia shouted.
"This …"
Old Xia continued, "This is a strange beast that our Guild Leader raised here. Its value is immeasurable, and the beast soul within it is probably worth tens of millions. The Violet Vine is also a rare treasure, it's simply unable to be measured with money!"
"Mr. Xia, what do you think we should do? Otherwise … I'll send someone to chase him! " Xuan An said nervously.
"Chase?" Hmph, I'm afraid they were well-planned and have long disappeared. "
As he said this, Boss Xia became even angrier. "Today, I'm going to massacre your Hidden Cloud Temple. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain this to the Guild Leader!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and struck out towards Xuan An's abbot. However, at this moment, a voice came from the direction of the courtyard's wall.
"I was the one who took the beast spirit and beast spirit, don't make things difficult for these monks."
Hearing this, everyone turned their gazes over and saw a twenty year old young man standing on top of the wall, looking at them.
It was indeed Benefactor Lin!
"Aiya, Benefactor Lin, it really is you …" However... "Why?" The abbot was on the verge of tears.
"Everyone has their own needs. Are you Boss Xia?" Lin Zi Chen said.
Elder Brother Xia stared blankly. He hadn't thought that the other side would actually recognize him. It seemed like he had really come prepared.
"Yes, who are you?"
"That's not important. The beast spirit and beast spirit are both here. If you want them …" If you have the ability, come and take it. "
Hearing this, Boss Xia released Xuan An and shouted angrily at Lin Zichen, "Arrogant! Don't tell me you don't know how to write the word death?"
Lin Zi Chen couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this: "I die?" "Fine, I would like to see who in this world can make me die!"
"How reckless!" As soon as he finished his sentence, he suddenly rushed towards Lin Zichen. A short golden staff appeared in his hand. It was embedded with various colored gems, and it shone with a dazzling light!
