Chapter 50 Cooperation with different motives
Lin Ruojin was extremely anxious at the moment, but on the second floor, Murong, who was secretly sipping his soup, saw a different scene.
"What a perfect match, Chun Sui, don't you think?"
Chunsui shook his not-so-bright head, and couldn't connect the gentle and lively Miss Lin with the cruel and ruthless Lord Baili.
If these two, one gentle and the other scheming, really get together, wouldn't Master Baili be tormenting Miss Lin to death?
downstairs.
Bi Ruyue from Qingyun Mountain chatted with everyone for a long time before returning to her seat and sitting down. A girl dressed in the same way hurried over.
"Senior Sister, look there?" She cautiously pointed in the direction of Baili Shun.
Bi Ruyue was originally happy about the victory in the first half, but she suddenly became confused after seeing the direction her junior sister was pointing.
When did Baili Shun have a woman by his side? !
Could she be the wife that Baili Shun had married with such high profile after sending out many invitations?
“Senior sister, you worked so hard to get to this conference, but it’s a pity that Master Baili…” The sister shook her head with a hint of regret.
Tears welled up in Bi Ruyue's eyes and she felt an unbearable pain in her heart. She quickly pretended not to care and lowered her head to wipe her sword. However, the sorrow and resentment on her beautiful face could be hidden from others, but not from herself.
That woman... is indeed a rare beauty, but she is just an ordinary woman after all. How can she be worthy of a man like Baili Shun?
Bi Ruyue's heart was filled with emotion, and every movement of her hands was filled with emotion.
And someone who was defined as a vulgar woman was now holding her stomach, lying on the table and eating fruits in big mouthfuls without any image.
"It's a waste of time. You can go back to the backyard with me after the competition is over. Before that, I advise you to be quiet."
"Oh, what does that have to do with me suffocating to death here?"
Baili Shun:...vulgar!
"You are so anxious, could it be that Luoyue has revealed your secret?" Baili Shun pulled Lin Ruojin's body over, sneered, and spoke slowly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you want to run, you have to see if this owner of the building allows it!"
The two of them were very close, and Lin Ruojin's lips still had the sweet scent of fruit.
"Burp~" Lin Ruojin suddenly opened her mouth and let out a long burp, which scared Baili Shun so much that he quickly pushed her away and pressed her head down slightly.
He looked around and saw that no one was looking at him, so he loosened his grip slightly.
An act that says, "I really hate you."
"If you want to vomit, don't vomit here. It's hard to clean up."
Lin Ruojin was stunned for a moment.
When is she going to vomit? This man is speechless. Hasn't he ever seen someone burp after eating too much?
The paper crane around her waist suddenly moved slightly. The slight vibration made her stiffen. Afraid that Baili Shun would notice, she pretended to be uncomfortable and covered her waist with her hands.
"Yes, I'm about to vomit!" Lin Ruojin took advantage of the situation and quickly pretended to retch, saying in a hoarse voice: "If you don't let me go, I will vomit on you~"
"you really are……"
"You let me test drugs every day. I'm lucky to be alive after taking so many poisonous things. It's okay to have some sequelae."
Baili Shun looked at her body, which was even thinner than before she came to Tianshui Tower. He pursed his thin lips and felt guilty in various ways.
After Lin Ruojin was released, she ran upstairs without looking back. Halfway through, she heard Baili Shun saying something sinisterly behind her.
"If you dare to run around with others, I will make sure you are in trouble."
Lin Ruojin's pupils trembled, and he didn't dare to stop and ran away retching all the way.
On the second floor, Murong watched the familiar beautiful figure disappear at the end of the stairs, and his heart was filled with panic.
What's going on?
Didn't it fail? Why am I still having morning sickness?
Outside the weapon refining pavilion, Jiu had just taken out the paper crane when he saw Lin Ruojin breathing heavily and jumping onto the last step with her glittering skirt lifted up.
"Ajiu! What's going on? Can we start?"
"Okay, I'll take off the talisman on the gate first. Once the talisman is off, you must open the gate so we can enter together."
After finalizing the plan and division of labor, Jiu clasped his hands together and silently chanted a spell.
A golden light flew out from his hand and headed straight for the gate of the Equipment Refining Pavilion.
Lin Ruojin looked at in surprise as a piece of golden talisman paper flew out from the empty door and quickly landed in Ajiu's outstretched palm.
"Hurry! The seal cannot be away from the door for too long, or the owner will find it!"
Lin Ruojin nodded, not daring to delay, and rushed over and opened the door with both arms.
The interior of the Equipment Refining Pavilion was mysterious and unpredictable.
There were several candles burning on the candlesticks on the four walls. The little flames cast a large shadow. The air was filled with a faint red mist. When Lin Ruojin first came in, she was startled and thought she had entered the wrong place.
The layout of the Refining Pavilion is the same as that of a modern library, with rows of mahogany cabinets arranged in a circle from the inside to the outside. The name of the item placed in each cabinet is engraved on it.
"Where is the Cang Lei wood... Cang Lei wood...?" Lin Ruojin looked for it one by one. Time was running out, but whether he was looking for a shelf for placing utensils or a cabinet for displaying treasures, he could not find any trace of the Cang Lei wood.
Just when she was getting anxious, Jiu came out from behind a cabinet, holding a red and black box with gold foil and a small golden lock on it.
"Ajiu, what are you holding?"
Ah Jiu smiled, put the box away, and said, "Nothing, just my selfish thoughts."
Lin Ruojin nodded in understanding and turned to continue looking for Canglei Mu.
"Girl, look up there, isn't that the Canglei wood?" Ajiu pointed to the roof of the Weapon Refining Pavilion.
She looked up.
At the top of the weapon refining pavilion covered in layers of blood mist, a black rectangular box floated in the air. The two of them stood in the middle of the circular shelf with the box above their heads.
Ah Jiu drew out the long sword from his waist and said to Lin Ruojin: "Girl, there is a spiritual formation protecting the Cang Lei wood. You step back and wait for me to suppress the spiritual formation. You need to go to the center of the formation and take out the Cang Lei wood."
"Okay! Let's get started."
"But... only ordinary people or low-level practitioners can enter. And the mermaid tears on your body are condensed from spiritual energy and the mermaid tail in your mind. It is not an ordinary item, so..."
"So, you're not going to let me take off my clothes and go in to get it?"
Ah Jiu blushed: "Well, I really didn't expect you to suddenly wear this dress today..." But seeing her unnaturalness, he quickly explained:
"I'll turn my back! Don't worry."
Whatever, what else can I do? Even if someone sees me, I won't lose any meat.
If she fails to get the item and the mission fails, all she will lose is her life.
After a while,
Ajiu took a deep breath, concentrated his mind and energy, and cast the spell again.
At the same time, a beam of white light was projected from the wooden box that was blocking the air. The moment it landed, a circular spiritual formation nodule expanded around it.
At the same time, the sound of wind roared in their ears.
Ajiu closed his eyes tightly and was covered in sweat. He made a seal with one hand and chopped at the light wall expanded by the white light with the sword in the other.
With just three or two strokes, a gap was cut out that was just big enough for one person to enter.
Lin Ruojin, who had already taken off her coat, rushed into the light column, took out the talisman that Ajiu gave her before entering the room, and whispered the spell.
As she finished chanting the spell in the light column, the red mist outside the light column quickly dissipated, and the vision around her gradually became clearer...
"Did you get it?" Jiu still had his eyes closed, but he seemed to sense it, and there was a hint of joy in his tone.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from Lin Ruojin.
"girl?"
Jiu shouted a few times but still got no response. He started to panic and subconsciously wanted to see if something had happened to her.
However, as soon as he opened his eyes a crack, a pair of soft, boneless hands pushed his face aside.
"Girl? What are you doing?"
"I knew you would peek! Men's mouths are deceitful."
Ah Jiu sighed helplessly: I really don’t know…
Outside the weapon refining pavilion, Ajiu and Lin Ruojin, who had succeeded in their mission, were preparing to go out through a side door.
After taking a few steps, I heard a noisy sound coming from downstairs.
"Why is there so much noise? Did Baili Shun and the others find out?"
"No!" Ah Jiu frowned, turned to Lin Ruojin and said seriously: "If something unexpected happens later, you go first and I will cover you!"
Lin Ruojin wanted to say something.
Suddenly, a tall and strong man ran up from downstairs and saw Lin Ruojin and Ajiu at once.
"Ajiu and... Madam? What are you doing in front of the weapon refining pavilion?"
The man's voice was dry, low, and hoarse. He was anxious at first, but after seeing the two people appear here, he became cautious.
"My dear, is there something wrong down there?" Ajiu stepped forward and used his body to block the servant Lao Ba.
"Something happened. A dancer was so bold as to assassinate a customer." Lao Ba said as he pushed A Jiu aside and walked towards the door of the Weapon Refining Pavilion.
His eyes were sharp, and he scanned the door back and forth. After checking around and finding that the sealing talisman was still on the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madam, this is not your place..."
Before he finished speaking, Lao Ba suddenly opened his eyes wide and his mouth trembled slightly twice.
Lin Ruojin took two steps back and looked at the tip of the knife that was slowly protruding from Lao Ba's chest, flashing with blood.
Lao Ba shook his head a few times, his eyes full of disbelief. He pointed at Lin Ruojin with his rough, dark fingers, then tilted his head to look at the smiling Ah Jiu behind him, "You...you guys...Ah Jiu, we...are...brothers..."
He couldn't believe that the person who stabbed him in the back was Ah Jiu, who was like a brother to him and with whom he spent every day.
Unfortunately, Jiu did not soften his heart because of the word "brother". Instead, he stabbed him several times even more cruelly.
It was not until Lao Ba vomited blood and fell to the ground and died that he pulled out the bloody dagger, wiped it clean on his body, put it back into the scabbard and handed it to Lin Ruojin.
He looked calm and composed, as if he had done this many times before.
"Girl, I'll take care of the aftermath. The master's men will go and attract attention. You can go to the back door and wait for a carriage with only a red lantern. Our men have brought your sister here."
"Ajiu..." Lin Ruojin looked at this man who was about the same age as herself in the real world. She asked softly: "You are their brother, a subordinate of Baili Shun. Why would you be loyal to Zhe Ye?"
"Girl, you've been working with me for such a long time, now is not the time to ask such questions."
"Then I'll make it short. Are you really here to help me?"
Ajiu was stunned for a moment, then he patted his chest.
"Ajiu has never harmed you, young lady, you can rest assured. The mountains are high and the roads are long, I will never see you again. After today's farewell..." Ajiu raised the corners of his lips, looked at Lin Ruojin's slowly frowning eyebrows, and said:
"We'll never see each other again. Girl, be careful about everything, especially be careful..."
The man named Chen Xuanling.
