The two of them were sitting on the ground. If the other party came in, he would definitely see them. Therefore, the only thing they could do now was to hide.
The room was very small. There was only a bed and some furniture in it.
The only place they could hide was under the bed.
At that moment, Linlong could only signal Shen Xiaoying to hide under the bed with him.
As time was tight, Shen Xiaoying didn't think too much and followed Linlong to hide under the bed.
The bed was very small, so the space under the bed was naturally small. The two of them could barely squeeze in, but it would definitely be very crowded.
Therefore, after the two of them got in, they were completely squeezed together.
Shen Xiaoying had never had skin contact with a strange man before. Just now, carrying Linlong on her back was already a breakthrough. Now that she was alone with Linlong in such a space, it was even more unprecedented.
For a moment, her face flushed red with embarrassment.
However, in this situation, how could she think in this direction? She could only pray that the other party didn't notice them and quickly left.
Soon, the door of the wooden house was opened. Then, they saw a pair of feet swaying in front of them.
After walking a few steps, they heard the person say gloomily, "There's also nothing in here. There's not even anything valuable."
After saying that, he turned around and looked like he was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, he then muttered to himself, "Since we're already here, we should at least take a look under the bed. If we don't look, wouldn't we miss out on some treasure?"
This guy, you must be dreaming. Hearing the other party's words, Linlong couldn't help but curse in his heart.
But what else could he do now? He could only use his eyes to signal Shen Xiaoying to make a move as soon as the other party squatted down.
Of course, he didn't know if Shen Xiaoying understood what he meant.
"Ah …"
Just as the person was about to squat down, a scream suddenly came from not far away.
This kind of miserable shriek caused the person who was about to squat down to quiver. He, who was already bending down, immediately stood up.
"There are people fighting over there. Let's go and take a look!" Then, Li Zhi's voice sounded from outside.
The person in the room didn't bother to bend down to take a look. Instead, he hurriedly walked out.
Then, Li Zhi and the other three left.
Hearing the footsteps of the four people leaving, Linlong and Shen Xiaoying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Linlong realized that his hand had somehow landed on Shen Xiaoying's chest.
Shen Xiaoying also saw this and subconsciously looked at Linlong.
"Ahem, Xiao Ying, it was an accident. Don't take it to heart." Linlong awkwardly coughed a few times. At the same time, he quietly withdrew his hand.
Shen Xiao Ying's face turned even redder as she said, "Big brother Lin, it's … it's not a problem."
As she spoke, Shen Xiaoying hurriedly crawled out from under the bed, followed by Linlong.
At this time, the sound of fighting came from the direction where the scream came from.
This voice alleviated the awkwardness in Shen Xiaoying's heart.
Linlong did not know who ran into whom, or maybe it was Wu Anguo. This thought flashed through his mind.
"Big Brother Lin, should we go and take a look?" Shen Xiao Ying asked.
"Of course not." Linlong shook his head. "We'll leave in the opposite direction."
"En." Shen Xiao Ying nodded obediently.
Soon after, the two of them left the wooden house.
After walking for a while, the sounds of fighting behind them had completely disappeared, but Shen Xiao Ying soon let out a low cry of surprise. She didn't know when someone had suddenly stood up in front of them.
That person was also stunned for a moment before he exclaimed, "Lin Li!"
Linlong could not help but frown. Due to the damage to his divine sense, he only discovered the other party after he appeared.
He knew that this person was one of the disciples from the Xing Wu Academy who was chosen to search for the entrance. It was obvious that because he did not know the code, he did not stay with the others after entering. Moreover, he did not find anyone else.
If this person was just a disciple from the Xing Wu Academy, Linlong would not be worried. However, Linlong knew that this person was one of Fan Shaoyun's followers. His name seemed to be Fan Wenlun.
"Lin Li, I did not expect to meet you here. If I take you down, I believe that Young Master Fan and the Fan Family Patriarch will definitely not treat me badly!" Fan Wenlun looked at Linlong with a hint of joy on his face.
This person was only at the intermediate level of the level-1 realm. The reason why he had such thoughts was because Lin Long was being carried on Shen Xiaoying's back and he looked injured.
"Tsk tsk, do you think that you can take me down with that bit of strength of yours?" Lin Long said coldly.
"Aren't you injured? How can you be my opponent?" Fan Wenlun laughed.
"Do I look injured?" Lin Long smiled indifferently and then gestured for Shen Xiaoying to put him down.
Fan Wenlun could not help but stare at Lin Long with his eyes wide open. The more he looked at Lin Long, the more he muttered in his heart. Lin Long did not look injured at all. How would he know that Lin Long's divine sense was damaged?
"Since you are not injured, why do you want someone to carry you?" Fan Wenlun could not help but ask.
"I am willing to let a beauty carry me. Can't I?" Lin Long laughed.
"You are really lucky with women." Fan Wenlun gritted his teeth.
"Kid, I will let you off for now. Don't let me see you later." After saying that, Fan Wenlun walked away unwillingly. He was just one person and there were two of them. How could he dare to attack them?
If Lin Long was injured, he would still have some guts. But Lin Long did not look injured at all, and he was afraid.
Seeing the other party leave, Lin Long could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Then, he said to Shen Xiaoying, "Xiaoying, let's go."
Shen Xiaoying hurriedly carried Lin Long on her back and walked forward.
"Big Brother Lin, if I was stronger, I would not have to be afraid of that person." Shen Xiaoying blamed herself as they walked.
"Xiaoying, don't blame yourself. If not for you, I would have fallen into someone's hands by now." Lin Long said.
What the two did not expect was that after walking for a while, there was a rush of footsteps behind them. Soon, a person blocked their way.
This person was none other than Fan Wenlun. He seemed to feel that something was wrong with Lin Long and Shen Xiaoying, so he rushed back again.
"Tsk tsk, you actually dare to come back." Lin Long looked at Fan Wenlun and said coldly.
"Lin Li, don't pretend. You are injured!" Fan Wenlun said as he looked at Lin Long.
The reason why he came back was because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. If there was nothing wrong with Lin Long, he should have joined forces with that girl to deal with him in that situation.
With this analysis, he felt that Lin Long was definitely injured, so he immediately rushed back.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How could he let it go?
"Big Brother Lin, let me deal with him." Knowing that the other party was up to no good, Shen Xiaoying put Lin Long down and took out her sword.
"Tsk tsk, you are a beauty with delicate skin. I don't want to lay my hands on you. But in order to deal with Lin Li, I have no choice but to destroy you." Fan Wenlun teased.
As he spoke, he also took out his long sword.
In the next moment, he, who had already consumed a Qi-boosting Pill, directly attacked Shen Xiaoying with his sword.
Shen Xiaoying's strength was actually on par with his, but Shen Xiaoying's experience was much worse than his. Hence, after a while, Shen Xiaoying was at a disadvantage.
Then, because of a moment of carelessness, she was even stabbed in the arm by the other party.
"Ouch!" Shen Xiaoying immediately fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Long could only grab his Rune Sword in his hand. However, in his current state, his hand that was holding the Rune Sword was trembling.
"Hahaha, Lin Li, you are like an old man now. How can you defeat me?" Seeing Lin Long's state, Fan Wenlun couldn't help but sneer.
However, he planned to defeat Shen Xiaoying first before dealing with Lin Long.
This was because at this moment, Shen Xiaoying, who had just fallen, stood up again.
What Fan Wenlun didn't expect was that even though Lin Long's hand was trembling, he still dashed towards him.
"You're courting death!" Fan Wenlun shouted as he brandished the long sword in his hand.
Who would have thought that Lin Long would ignore his threat and still charge towards him?
Fan Wenlun could tell that Lin Long wasn't putting on an act. Hence, he wasn't worried that Lin Long, who couldn't even hold his sword firmly, could do anything to him.
Immediately, he attacked Lin Long with his sword.
This situation naturally caused Shen Xiaoying's expression to change drastically. However, she was a little too far away and couldn't save Lin Long in time. She could only watch helplessly as Lin Long's sword stabbed towards him.
In Fan Wenlun's opinion, Lin Long would at least have to use his sword to block his attack. Then, he would use his powerful energy to knock Lin Long's sword away and injure him.
However, he didn't expect that Lin Long didn't intend to do so. The long sword continued to stab towards him.
Lin Long's desperate fighting style was completely out of his expectations. Hence, due to a moment of carelessness, Lin Long's sword directly stabbed into his chest.
Of course, his sword also stabbed into Lin Long's chest.
This way, he was injured, but Lin Long was obviously more injured than him.
"You're really courting death!" Fan Wenlun didn't expect to be injured by Lin Long's sword in such a manner. He drew his sword and slashed it towards Lin Long.
He was prepared to hack Lin Long to death.
"Brother Lin!"
It was also at this moment that a wave of sword aura attacked Fan Wenlun.
Only then did Fan Wenlun realize that Shen Xiaoying was beside him. However, it was already too late. Shen Xiaoying's longsword had already pierced the left side of his chest, and it was clearly deeper than Linlong's.
After twitching a few times, Fan Wenlun immediately breathed his last.
Before he died, he was naturally filled with regret. If he hadn't been careless, he wouldn't have allowed Lin Long to have his way.
However, what was the use of regretting now?
After killing Fan Wenlun, Shen Xiaoying hurriedly shouted at Lin Long, "Brother Lin, are you alright?"
