The man smiled disdainfully, "I have a lot of work to do every day. How can I waste my time on such a small matter? Doctor Lin, if you're still so stubborn, then don't blame me for offending you. "He raised his chin slightly and gestured to the man beside him. The man stepped forward and grabbed Doctor Lin. He sneered, "Doctor Lin, I'm sorry. Our superiors have ordered us to get the item. "Doctor Lin closed his eyes again and refused to speak. A trace of impatience flashed across the man's face. He grabbed Doctor Lin's arm and was about to twist it. Doctor Lin was already over sixty years old and wasn't a martial artist. If he were to twist his arm, it would at least break his entire arm.
Crack … A faint sound came from outside the window. The man's hand stopped and he looked at the middle-aged man in confusion, "Who's there?"
The window shook slightly, but they didn't see anyone. The man frowned in confusion. He put down Doctor Lin and walked to the window. He looked left and right before poking his head out. A pair of slightly cold white hands suddenly reached out and clasped his neck. He only felt a chill on his neck, and then a sharp pain, and then he lost consciousness.
Seeing his companion suddenly fall on the window, a trace of fear flashed across the middle-aged man's face. Originally, because this wasn't a difficult task, they didn't bring too many people. They didn't expect this small village to be hiding a mysterious expert.
"Who is it?! Come out … "The middle-aged man said sternly as he stared at the empty space outside the window. Looking at Doctor Lin, the middle-aged man pulled Doctor Lin to stand in front of him. He carefully stared at the window and retreated outside.
Whoosh … A gray figure quickly passed by the window. The middle-aged man's eyes widened, but he only saw a dark light quickly shoot in. His throat suddenly felt cold. He lowered his head and stared blankly at a rough looking wooden hairpin inserted in his throat. He stiffly fell back.
"Who … Who is it?" Seeing his companion suddenly fall on the window without a sound, the middle-aged man stared at the window with vigilance. His voice trembled unconsciously. He glanced at Doctor Lin standing to the side and quickly stepped forward, holding him in front of him and slowly walking forward. "Who's outside? Come out!" The middle-aged man's back began to sweat. Originally, he was only here to deliver things to his master. It wasn't a difficult task. Therefore, they didn't bring too many people. They didn't expect that there would be a hidden master in such a secluded mountain village.
"Come out! If you don't come out, I'll kill him! " Grabbing Doctor Lin, the middle-aged man stared at the window but didn't move forward. Instead, he slowly moved toward the door of the study.
Shua —
A gray shadow flashed past the window. The middle-aged man's eyes widened. The gray shadow flashed by so quickly that he couldn't see what it was. Clenching the dagger in his hand, the middle-aged man gulped and retreated to the door with Doctor Lin. Just as he was about to reach the door, the window creaked and shook. The man was startled and hurriedly pointed the dagger at the window, only to see a dark light shoot out. The man opened his mouth and weakly lowered his head, only to see a somewhat rough wooden hairpin inserted in his throat. He blinked his eyes, but found that there was nothing he could do. He could only let go of Doctor Lin and fall backwards.
Doctor Lin looked down at the middle-aged man lying on the ground with his eyes wide open. Of course, he knew who the owner of the hairpin in his throat was. He raised his head to look at the window, but Ye Li's figure didn't appear. After a while, heavy footsteps came from outside the door. Ye Li appeared at the door of the study. Seeing Doctor Lin in a daze, she worriedly asked, "Master … are you alright?" Doctor Lin shook his head silently and looked at Ye Li. Ye Li forced a smile, "Did I scare Master? I … "
Doctor Lin sat down on a chair in exhaustion. After a while, he said, "At first, this old man felt that you weren't simple. Now I know that I was wrong. I won't ask where you came from. You can leave by yourself later. It's not safe here. " Ye Li looked at the corpses on the ground and by the window and frowned. It wasn't a good idea to talk in a room with two corpses, but she didn't have the strength to deal with the two corpses. Ye Li found a place to sit down and comforted the uneasy baby in her stomach. She frowned and smiled bitterly, "Master, in my current state … where do you want me to go?" Not to mention the possibility of encountering poisonous snakes and fierce beasts, she couldn't even bear the exhaustion of crossing mountains.
Doctor Lin sighed and shook his head, "Do you think I'm chasing you away? This old man has to go. If I don't go … I'm afraid I'll implicate the innocent people in this village. "When he said this, the old man's expression became sad. For an old man in his sixties to leave the place he had lived in for decades, it wasn't something that could make him happy.
"Is it … Lin Yuan?" Ye Li asked softly after a moment of silence.
Doctor Lin was stunned. After a long silence, he let out a long sigh. If Doctor Lin didn't want to say, Ye Li didn't want to force him. Although she didn't know what Lin Yuan wanted from Doctor Lin, she didn't want Doctor Lin to think of her as someone who coveted his treasure. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If Master doesn't want to give it to him, why not destroy it? To cut off his thoughts? If … he was raised by Master since he was young, who else would Master give it to? "Doctor Lin forced a smile and shook his head. He stood up and walked to the door.
Ye Li didn't move. She looked at the two corpses with some annoyance. If it was in the past, it wouldn't be difficult for her to deal with the two corpses. But now, it was impossible. Doctor Lin was old and there was no way she could let him deal with these things. Just as she was thinking about it, Doctor Lin returned with a plain porcelain bottle in his hand. He walked to the middle-aged man lying on the ground and opened the bottle to shake out some of the powder. Then, Ye Li was surprised to find that the moment the powder touched the corpse, it emitted a pungent smoke and began to corrode the corpse on the ground. In less than a moment, the originally burly man was left with a puddle of water on the ground. Even his clothes weren't left. Then, she watched as Doctor Lin walked to the other corpse and shook off some of the powder. Seeing that the corpse was corroded and melted, Ye Li couldn't help but rub her nose. After being together for so long, she realized that her unknown master was actually so cruel.
Seeing Doctor Lin calmly deal with the two corpses, Ye Li was now convinced that her actions didn't scare the old doctor. Looking at his practiced and calm appearance, he clearly wasn't a novice.
After finishing all of this, the master and disciple who weren't familiar with each other looked at each other for a long time before they remembered to move to the outer room. Although there was no more eyesore in the room, to be honest, the smell that was left behind wasn't very pleasant.
