When Lin Xiu heard this, he was shocked. He had been in contact with the old man for a period of time, so he understood that this couple were extremely pure and kind people. Liu Cheng, who was educated by them, even if he had committed any crimes, he would not have fallen to the point of betraying Remote Control. This meant that there must be some hidden secrets.
The thoughts in his mind were very complicated, but when Lin Xiu came back to his senses, only a moment had passed. After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xiu still felt that compared to the temptation of Remote Control and a high-grade water skill, the feelings of the old man were obviously much more important.
So Lin Xiu nodded, his eyes were very clear.
"Elder, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't worry, I am definitely worthy of your trust."
The couple nodded to Lin Xiu in satisfaction, then said, "I can't figure out why Yao Kun would make a move against Liu Cheng. After thinking about it, there is only one reason, and that is when Liu Cheng left Shou Zhou City, I gave him a skill that I cultivated. According to what I know, Yao Kun has been in the middle stage of the first level of the Venerable Realm for thousands of years."
At this point, Lin Xiu already understood in his heart that Lin Xiu's rebellion was most likely an act of helplessness and was completely for self-protection. In the end, it was because Yao Kun coveted the skill that Liu Cheng had and wanted to snatch it away to complete his own accumulation for a breakthrough.
It seemed that one might know a person's face but not his heart. Yao Kun appeared to be extremely kind in front of his subordinates and he was also very generous. Who would have thought that his mind was actually so deep?
"Actually, I naturally know where Liu Cheng is. After coming to Shou Zhou City, in order to avoid being chased by my enemies, I also set up an array that isolates Heaven and Earth in a place. Liu Cheng is now recuperating there." The old man said and looked at Lin Xiu casually.
Lin Xiu suddenly shook his head and said slowly to the old man, "Elder, since you have already said this, then I will tell the truth. Yes, I was originally a guest under Yao Kun and he promised me a treasure that I couldn't refuse, so I wanted to come to Shou Zhou City and properly investigate Liu Cheng's whereabouts. But these days, in your shop, it made me feel the warmth of home again. Moreover, I am not a bad person who can't distinguish right from wrong. Don't worry, since there is something hidden here, I will definitely not reveal Liu Cheng's whereabouts."
The old couple revealed a smile at this moment. The old woman even laughed softly and personally served Lin Xiu a plate of snacks. Then, she looked at Lin Xiu and said again, "Young man, in fact, when you first came to our shop, this old man had already seen your strength. It is not as simple as it seems on the surface. However, the two of us really didn't have any complicated thoughts. We just thought that it was better to avoid trouble, so we didn't pay much attention to it. Later on, you wanted to stay in the shop, so the two of us secretly calculated. We could see that you were also very lonely, so we let you stay. "
Of course, Lin Xiu was well aware of this. With the old man's strength as the God of Cookery, even if his cultivation realm no longer existed, he did not lose his insight.
Now that the old man had shown enough trust, Lin Xiu of course had to bear a certain price for this. He had already understood that his next task would probably change from killing Liu Cheng to protecting Liu Cheng.
But there was nothing to regret. Since Lin Xiu and the old man had such a relationship, he would do his best.
Moreover, in the entire force under Yao Kun, there was really nothing that could really make him worry.
In addition, after Lin Xiu learned some things about Yao Kun, he also understood in his heart that the reason why Yao Kun tried so hard to rope him in was probably because he saw Lin Xiu's potential. In the future, when Lin Xiu's value was exhausted, Yao Kun would probably kill him.
The old couple closed the shop and then brought Lin Xiu to the back kitchen. The old man in charge, who was also the former God of Cookery, gently stomped on the floor and suddenly revealed a deep secret room.
"There is a teleportation array inside that can directly reach the place where Liu Cheng is. There is no time to lose, the three of us should go now. " The old man looked at Lin Xiu, then took out something that looked like a key out of nowhere, placed it in a groove on the floor, and gently turned it.
Lin Xiu could sense that the laws of heaven and earth seemed to be a little distorted, and in the next moment, the three of them disappeared.
When they appeared again, Lin Xiu could only see desolation in front of him and there was an aura of death that made Lin Xiu's heart jump. It seemed that Liu Cheng's injury had really reached a point where it was almost impossible to recover.
Not sensing the approach of strangers, there was a rustling sound in the space, and not long after, a burly man appeared in front of the three of them.
"Dad, Mom." The burly man bowed respectfully to the old couple, but this action caused the wound on his body to open again, and blood almost dyed the entire front of his clothes red.
The old woman looked distressed and wanted to go forward to help him, but the old man spoke directly and turned his gaze to Lin Xiu.
"Liu Cheng, right now, you can only struggle at death's door in this small world. The injuries that you have suffered are far too serious. Even I don't have any good methods to deal with you in a short period of time. Moreover, Yao Kun has already dispatched quite a number of experts to search for your tracks. Next, you should stay here with this little brother until the storm completely calms down."
Liu Cheng only noticed Lin Xiu at this time, and there was a little vigilance in his eyes. When he found out that Lin Xiu was only at the peak of the Manifestation realm, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
"Father, he's just a junior at the peak of the Creation realm. How can he protect me? It's better not to implicate him. " Liu Cheng's words did not have any contempt for Lin Xiu, it was completely his true thoughts. In his opinion, he had already been forced into a stray dog by Yao Kun. Even if he was really going to die in the end, he didn't want to implicate the lives of others.
When Lin Xiu saw this, he couldn't help but smile and nodded to Liu Cheng, then said, "It's really because of your reputation, it's not as good as meeting you in person. Now that I see you, I can completely relax. Next, leave your safety to me."
