"Refuse?" The examiner immediately frowned, his eyes flashed with cold light, his voice also became much tougher: "Young lady, you need to think this through.
You are young, don't be too rash, you need to know that an arm cannot win against a leg, not to mention that you are not even an arm. "
"Of course I know I have no one to rely on, I am just a small fry, that is why you are targeting me, isn't that so?" Xia Lin looked at the examiner, her tone was filled with mockery, bitterness and helplessness: "But don't worry, I will not retort or complain to you. I will accept your slander, treat it as me repaying Sister Su Yi's kindness. I don't want any compensation. From now on, we're even, and we're just like strangers. "
The invigilator revealed a strange expression as he stared at Xia Lin. In the dimly lit room, Xia Lin's eyes were unexpectedly bright. This pair of bright eyes directly reflected in the examiner's heart, making him feel a weakness that he could not face directly!
The examiner quickly shifted his gaze: "Leave, I hope you can do as you say."
"I will." Xia Lin stood up, when she left, her expression was calm and unruffled.
Several days later.
"Lady Xia Lin, it is not that our inn does not want to do business with you. It is just that the public opinion is too intense, many people are saying that if we continue to keep you here, they will … "The inn owner said with a bitter expression.
Xia Lin stopped him from pouring out his grievances: "I understand the situation, I will leave."
"Thank you so much, Lady Xia Lin, you are a good person." The inn owner was moved to tears.
Xia Lin packed her luggage and quickly left the room, walking down the stairs.
"Look, it's her!"
"This woman is greedy for riches, she secretly sold out her master for glory."
"Such an existence is simply tarnishing the Sea God Ceremony, tarnishing our Sacred City."
The Gu Masters in the hall saw Xia Lin and pointed at her, discussing.
Xia Lin heard all these words, but she walked out of the inn with a calm expression.
She came to the wide street, the bustling crowd was moving along the street.
"Today is the second last test of the Sea God Ceremony."
"I am really looking forward to it, today will be very exciting!"
"Do you know? The reason why Su Yi is at a disadvantage is because she has an insider by her side. "
"Who doesn't know? As for Xia Lin! As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against a thief in the house. "
…
Most people did not recognize Xia Lin, their attention was on the Sea God Ceremony as they rushed towards the central plaza.
Even if someone recognized Xia Lin, they would not dare to confirm it. There was a sea of people in Sacred City, it was very normal to have one or two people with similar appearances.
The atmosphere was very lively. People rubbed shoulders with each other and were overjoyed.
Xia Lin merged into the crowd, her expression was calm, forming a stark contrast with her surroundings.
The cheerful atmosphere that she had felt before was now like a thick layer of fog that had accumulated in her nostrils, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She could no longer obtain happiness and satisfy her curiosity from this Holy City.
"Perhaps I will never come here again in this lifetime." Xia Lin raised her head and looked at the tall buildings around her.
These houses seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. The entire Sacred City was about to come crashing down on her.
Xia Lin felt even more annoyed, she took a few quick steps and left the surging crowd, walking into a dark alley.
There was a stench here, the lighting was dim and there were piles of trash in the corner.
But Xia Lin felt that her breathing was much smoother, it was as if a mountain had been lifted from her heart.
Walking in the dark alley with no one around, Xia Lin's slightly raised head drooped down.
"How did it come to this?" She asked herself but she could not get an answer.
Her eyes turned red and soon became teary.
She was still a young girl, her previous determination was more of a disguise.
"Little girl, slow down!" Suddenly, from a corner of the alley, three mermen ran out.
Xia Lin was stunned before becoming vigilant.
These three mermen had a roguish aura and an evil gaze, they were clearly up to no good. Most importantly, each of them had the aura of a rank two Gu Master.
Xia Lin was only a rank two Gu Master.
"What do you want?" Xia Lin retreated.
"What do we want? Heh, heh, heh! "The three mermaids looked at each other and laughed evilly in unison.
"Little girl, it is fate that brought us together, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"You can't leave now even if you want to."
At this time, two more rank two merman Gu Masters came out from behind Xia Lin.
Xia Lin's heart sank, not only were there five against one, her path was blocked. Even though this place was not far from the main street, the enemies were all Gu Masters and this was clearly an ambush, they definitely had methods to suppress the commotion to the minimum.
The five mermen approached Xia Lin step by step.
Xia Lin was flustered, she could only retreat and lean against the wall.
The cold wall made her feel even more helpless.
She gritted her teeth and frowned, suddenly saying: "Come, even if I die, I will drag you down with me."
"Oh, little girl, you have guts!"
"You are quite spicy, big brother likes this kind of girl."
The five merman Gu Masters laughed and laughed, they showed no fear, but their footsteps were slowing down.
Bam.
Suddenly, Xia Lin felt an intense dizziness.
She was attacked!
She was shocked, she turned around and saw that the wall had melted, a sixth merman Gu Master came out.
"I was tricked!" The moment she fainted, Xia Lin felt a chill in her heart.
"She fainted, she fainted …"
"Hahaha, leader, your move was really good!"
"Quickly deal with the scene, this is the Sea God Ceremony after all!"
The six mermen surrounded Xia Lin.
"Wake up, wake up …" A deep voice resounded in the darkness.
Xia Lin gradually opened her eyes, the scene of the alleyway entered her eyes again. The pain at the back of her head reminded her, she got a fright and struggled to get up from the ground.
Then, she saw the six mermaids lying on the ground motionlessly in all sorts of strange postures.
At the center of the six mermen was a human Gu Master.
At the next moment, Xia Lin cried out in joy: "Master Chu, it's you!"
"It's me. I have been paying attention to the Sea God Ceremony, I have heard about your matter, you were abandoned by Su Yi, right? "Fang Yuan smiled lightly.
Instantly, Xia Lin's tears fell as she choked: "Master Chu, you …"
"I have a way of judging people, although I have not interacted with you much, you are definitely not that kind of person." Fang Yuan continued.
Xia Lin heard this and could not help but cover her face as she sobbed, she was like a wronged child who finally had her grievances cleared.
Fang Yuan watched her cry quietly for a while before patting her shoulder: "Let's go."
"To where?" Xia Lin was slightly dazed.
"I'm partly responsible for your current predicament." Fang Yuan sighed: "If I did not give you gather oil Gu, you would not have been chosen by Su Yi and participated in this Sea God Ceremony. So, I will bring you away, follow me, we will leave this place. "
"Mm." Xia Lin nodded, she had lost interest in the Sacred City long ago.
Fang Yuan led the way as Xia Lin obediently followed behind him.
At the end of the alley was another street, it was still filled with people, the shops on both sides were bustling with activity, there was even a lion dance in the middle of the street.
Facing the crowd again, Xia Lin felt some fear and disgust, but Fang Yuan was already ahead, she could only grit her teeth and follow.
Snap.
The moment they walked out of the alley, Fang Yuan snapped his fingers.
At the next moment, Xia Lin stared with wide eyes, her mouth opened so wide that she could swallow an egg. She was incomparably shocked to see that the whole street had fallen into a state of stillness.
"This, this is …" She spoke incoherently.
"It's just a little trick, come." Fang Yuan waved at her, then went into the crowd.
Xia Lin quickened her steps and followed closely.
This was a wondrous experience she had never experienced before!
She walked past a pair of mermen who seemed to be talking to each other, they seemed to be a couple. She saw that in the shop, a customer was haggling with a worker, the spittle that flew out of the worker's mouth was suspended in the air, it almost landed on the customer's face.
There was also a small dog that was moving between the legs and the merman's tail, its body was twisting as it moved around a blue scaled merman, three of its paws were in the air while one was on the ground.
Xia Lin stared with wide eyes as she looked at the various expressions of the people, they were so lively and interesting, all of her frustrations were thrown to the back of her mind.
Fang Yuan walked very quickly, his body was very agile, Xia Lin had a hard time chasing after him.
Bam.
She was careless and bumped into a strong human Gu Master.
The human Gu Master floated up, his movement was still the same as before, but his feet were already half separated from the ground, his entire body was slanted.
"Sorry!" She was just about to help this human Gu Master up when Fang Yuan grabbed her.
"Come." Fang Yuan handed her a mask.
"Master Chu, you are …" Xia Lin was perplexed. Fang Yuan did not bring her across the street, he brought her to the lion dance team at the center.
Fang Yuan handed her a mask, it was colorful, made from fish scales and bird feathers.
Fang Yuan pointed at this lion dance team, saying: "Don't you feel they are missing two crucial characters?"
Xia Lin nodded: "They are performing a sea lion winter spring play, they lack a male and female lead, one is a filial son fishing on the ice, the other is a mermaid princess playing outside. But this play should be a spontaneous performance, they are not a real opera troupe, it is normal for them to be missing people. "
At the start, it might have been a Gu Master who took out a mask and put on the opera costume to express his joy. But along the way, more and more Gu Masters joined in.
These people were definitely opera fans, they loved this kind of culture.
In fact, in the whole grotto-heaven, there were all sorts of operas, it was the trend of this paradise.
"My method can only last for a while, quickly put on this mask, we will follow the crowd." Fang Yuan said urgently, not giving Xia Lin a chance to refuse.
"Oh, oh." Xia Lin subconsciously took the mask, after putting it on, her heart calmed down.
This way, no one would recognize her.
The pressure in her heart was greatly reduced.
But very quickly, her face turned red. Because she saw Fang Yuan also put on a mask, it was the filial son fishing on the ice.
"This way, aren't I and Master Chu the male and female lead?"
This discovery made Xia Lin's heart jump!
