Chapter 189 The Zhongsun Family: Repaying Favors
It’s a good thing that such a person didn’t stay with Min’er for too long. If he led Li’er and Min’er astray, it would be a waste of time and effort.
"Brother, what do you mean? I'm a good person!" Zhong Sunmin pouted and asked a little aggrievedly, "Why do you treat me like this?"
"Min'er, if you don't know the reason, don't ask too much." Zhong Sunlin didn't know what to say, so he just comforted his sister and said, "If you want to learn how to grow medicinal herbs, I'll bring you some more books."
"The book doesn't tell me when to pull the weeds. It only says to weed when the weeds are growing, but it doesn't say what growing means!" Zhongsun Min felt wronged. He snorted softly, turned around and ran away, crying and shouting, "Brother is not a good person at all. He comes back and slanders people at will."
But Zhong Sunmin didn't run for long before he suddenly remembered something and turned back crying.
"Sister, let's go. Don't pay attention to your elder brother!" Zhong Sunmin grabbed her sister's wrist and turned around and ran away, regardless of what her elder brother said.
Lin Xuxi was dragged to run, and when she looked back at Zhongsun Lin with an angry face, she couldn't help laughing.
"Min'er, Min'er!" Zhongsun Lin gritted his teeth in anger. Why didn't Min'er listen?
Zhong Sunmin dragged her sister along for a long time, stopping only after she was sure her eldest brother wouldn't catch up. She ran a bit too fast, leaning against a white wall and bursting into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Xuxi was also amused.
Zhong Sunmin was a very simple person. When she was happy, she would smile. When she was angry, she would pout and show her teeth. Lin Xuxi was also very happy to be with her.
"I tell you, if I hadn't taken you away just now, my elder brother would definitely kick you out!" Zhong Sunmin pouted and looked unhappy.
Lin Xuxi nodded and said, "That's normal."
She could understand the owner's thoughts; she didn't have a good reputation outside. She could also see that the Zhongsun family was very close, especially Zhongsun Lin, who was extremely caring towards his younger siblings. Furthermore, they were both very innocent, so it was only natural that she was afraid that someone with a bad reputation like her would lead them astray.
"My sister is such a good person, and I'm getting mad at my brother for being like this." Zhong Sunmin folded her arms and snorted softly, her mouth pouting, her face full of displeasure.
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Xuxi didn't care about these things, but if she was driven away, it would be difficult for her to find things in Longquan Villa.
There have been no clues these days, so it seems I have to ask them.
Zhongsun Lin came back and went to deal with the affairs of the manor first, and then met his younger brother.
"Why is Lin Xuxi here?" Zhongsun Lin asked coldly from his chair. This must have been Li'er's doing, letting the wolf into the house.
"Her? I called her over." Speaking of this name, Zhongsun Li showed a hint of embarrassment again, and stammered, "I was helpless against the Resentful Spring. The resentment was so thick it seemed to choke me to death, so I ran away. On the way, I happened to meet a senior. I saw that she had a high level of cultivation, so I asked her for help."
After Zhongsun Li finished speaking, he secretly glanced at his brother again and asked curiously, "Brother, have you seen that senior? Is she extremely beautiful? I don't think I am worthy of her..."
"Femme Fatale!" Zhong Sunlin didn't want to hear what his brother said. He raised his hand to stop him from continuing and said coldly, "Go find Min'er right away and tell her I need something from her."
"Yes."
Zhongsun Lin wanted to talk about this matter in front of the two of them.
Zhong Sunmin was reluctantly dragged by her second brother to her eldest brother, but she was like a boneless ferret, sitting on the chair, lying on the table, with her hands hanging naturally, swaying in the air.
His chin rested on the table, but his eyes didn't seem as lazy as they appeared, instead they darted around, sometimes looking at his eldest brother sitting across from him, sometimes stealing glances at his second brother sitting on his left.
At this time, Zhongsun Lin's expression was serious.
"Lin Xuxi is not a good person." Zhong Sunlin said this as soon as he opened his mouth.
But Zhongsun Min pouted, indicating that she was unhappy, and turned her gaze to her second brother, wanting to see his reaction. She remained silent.
Zhongsun Li was surprised at first, then scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Brother, are you mistaken? The senior is a good person. She, she really is a good person!"
"You never go out, so naturally you don't know what the outside world thinks of Lin Xuxi." Zhong Sunlin was not angry. He and even his younger brother and sister were simple people. If Lin Xuxi had a little acting ability, she would be able to fool the two of them.
"Lin Xuxi was originally Master Lin of the Xuanyu Sect, in charge of the numerous disciples of the Xuanyu Sect's Fushan. However, she was not diligent in her duties. Not only did she mistreat and criticize her disciples, she also abused them in various ways, deceiving her superiors and subordinates. Her character is extremely poor. I'm not forbidding you from associating with her, but she is simply inappropriate! Alas, Li'er, Min'er, you are naive. Don't be fooled by her appearance. Listen to your brother, okay?"
He must protect his younger brothers and sisters.
"I don't think my sister is that kind of person." Zhong Sunmin had never heard of the rumors from the outside world, and she cared more about what her sister was like.
Zhong Sunlin sighed, "Min'er!"
Zhong Sunmin responded to his elder brother by pouting his lips, which meant: I am unhappy and I don’t want to listen.
Since he couldn't persuade her alone, Zhongsun Lin had no choice but to turn his gaze to Li'er and continue to persuade her earnestly: "Li'er, she is really not a good person. You'd better tell her to leave quickly."
"Brother, isn't the senior a good person? Isn't She Ji a good person?" Zhongsun Li asked back. He just remembered that there was another person in the dungeon.
Zhong Sunlin was puzzled and asked, "What She Ji?" Weren't they talking about Lin Xuxi? Why did the topic suddenly change to She Ji?
"There was also a demon cultivator named She Ji who came with the senior. Min'er captured her. She scolded us and said that she was her brother's savior. I don't know what happened." Zhong Sunli explained.
When Zhongsun Lin heard the words "savior", he remembered who She Ji was.
She Ji had indeed saved his life once, when he was accidentally injured and she saved him. Although the other party was a demon cultivator, he did not kill him or want to eat him.
Later, after his wounds healed, he gave the other party many gifts and even gave him a bowl of blood. His blood was extremely useful, so a full bowl was a token of his gratitude.
He just wanted the matter to be over, so why did She Ji come to him?
"She Ji, where is she?" Zhongsun Lin asked.
Zhong Sunli said proudly, "She was in the dungeon. She was caught and kept there. But she sneaked out, was caught by Senior, and was sent back to the dungeon. Isn't Senior very powerful?"
Hearing his brother praising that person, Zhongsun Lin's expression turned cold. He stood up and said, "Take me to see her. I want to see what else she wants in return."
The Zhongsun family has always been grateful for what they have received. If she wants something, as long as it is not too excessive, Zhongsun Lin is willing to satisfy her and sever this karmic entanglement.
