Chapter 405 I must stay until midnight.
"Lead the way," Liu Linzhou said coldly.
Just as he was about to lead his men inside, an old man behind him stopped the bodyguard.
The tense atmosphere was about to explode.
"Mr. Liu, please don't be offended, there's not enough room for so many people inside." The old man coughed twice, looking at the numerous bodyguards, and said tremblingly, "Young Master said that Mr. Liu could bring some capable men."
"Heh." Liu Linzhou scoffed lightly, his gaze filled with imposing authority, then glanced down and said, "You two come in with me." He pointed out the two people besides his assistant.
Both of them were promising talents he had nurtured in Maine, skilled fighters who had fought their way through countless battles.
The old house is completely different from the outside world, with rich decorations and a more classical feel than the Xie family's.
The walls are covered with landscape murals, and in front of the murals are stone beast statues that I have never seen before.
Lin Xiu followed and slowly walked in. She frowned as she looked around. She didn't know anything about feng shui, but the layout in front of her gave her a strange feeling of familiarity, yet...danger!
It's as if I've been here before?
Strangely, if it's familiar, why is it dangerous?
"Don't you feel something's a little strange?" Following behind the old butler, she leaned slightly closer to Liu Linzhou and couldn't help but ask.
Liu Linzhou's expression remained unchanged. He reached out and took Lin Xiu's hand, his voice slightly deep: "Stay close to me."
No, is that right?
Lin Xiu's attention was temporarily diverted as she looked at Liu Linzhou on her left and Chaochao on her right.
She tried slightly to break free from Liu Linzhou's hand, but he gripped it even tighter.
The man turned his head and looked down at her and Chaochao's clasped hands: "Don't let go."
After saying that, he strode forward.
Lin Xiu took a deep breath and finally let him lead her, whispering to Chaochao beside her, "Chaochao, stay close."
"Yes, Sister Xiu." Chaochao's voice remained gentle, but her expression turned serious.
He always felt that this place was dangerous, a fear that seeped into his very bones.
He was born and raised in Maine, and had never been to a place like this before, so why was he so afraid?
It seems the man in front of him is thinking the same thing.
He glanced at Liu Linzhou, whose pace was slightly faster.
The three of them were in the same boat, completely unaware that the bodyguards and Lin Yi were oblivious to their presence. Meanwhile, the fat bug flew out of the system space with wide eyes and circled around in disbelief several times.
It really is a Void-Breaking Formation!
There were faint glimmers of tears in the fat worm's eyes.
The Void-Breaking Formation is still here and can still be used. It thought... it thought that when the Golden Light Bone was fully formed, it would really have to sacrifice itself and could no longer accompany its master.
[Host, you must stay in this house until midnight.] It flew to Lin Xiu's shoulder, its little wings flapping rapidly, its joy barely concealed.
I'm getting chills. Why are they staying until midnight?
[The reason, the cause.]
"Host, this room is filled with great fortune, and it's the key to the Wang family's prosperity. Opening blind boxes here can yield the Supreme Edition." The fat worm adjusted its expression, its eyes sparkling.
[Great fortune? System, are you sure? I always feel very cold, even to the bone.] Lin Xiu said doubtfully.
She was very cold now, inexplicably cold, as if something was about to appear.
【Sure.】
Ok!
Lin Xiu glanced down at her watch. It was 10 PM. Two hours should have passed.
Since the Wang family has made things difficult for her anyway, it's not unreasonable for her to borrow some luck, right?
【it is good! 】
【Mmm】The chubby bug nodded cutely like it was pounding garlic, then flew into the system and looked solemnly at the golden bone whose golden-red light was getting brighter and brighter.
As expected, the Golden Light Bone couldn't wait to return to its master's body as soon as it entered the Void-Breaking Array.
Not now, it's not the right time.
Only when the Void-Breaking Array is activated, and the spiritual energy of the Void-Breaking Array is used to assist the master's bloodline awakening, can they withstand the power of the Golden Light Bone. Then, by using the power of the Golden Light Bone to pass through the Void-Breaking Array, the final hurdle can be considered cleared.
Wiping away its tears, the fat worm approached the golden bone: "Master's thousand years of grievances are finally coming to an end."
It originally intended to sacrifice itself to infuse spiritual energy into its master's body, allowing the Golden Light Bone to return to its place, and exhausting its power to break through the void.
But it didn't know if any of that would work, and it didn't know what its owner would do alone after it left.
Now that we have the Void-Breaking Array, everything is fine. This ancient array is still running. That's great. I can still stay by my master's side.
As he thought about it, a faint green light emanated from its body, constantly soothing the restlessness of the Golden Bone.
Lin Xiu was unaware of Fatty Bug's thoughts at the moment, as she and Liu Linzhou and others were being led into the main hall.
The main hall looks unremarkable, but it's safer than the outside.
It's just strange.
"Have you noticed anyone else along the way?" Lin Xiuhuan looked around, and her eyes and intuition told her that there weren't many people.
To be precise, apart from the old housekeeper and the women, it was completely like an empty house.
To maintain such a mansion, it obviously requires a lot of servants; even if we take a step back and assume that 10 o'clock is the servants' bedtime, when Wang Bai comes to 'invite' them, he should at least find some people to 'work'!
"I don't know, but..." If Wang Bai dares to lay a hand on him in Haishi, he'll send him to his death!
A fierce glint flashed in Liu Linzhou's eyes as he checked his waist with his well-defined knuckles.
"Is Xiuxiu scared?" He looked down at the girl in front of him and chuckled.
"I'm not afraid," Lin Xiu said.
She felt uneasy, but she wasn't afraid.
With Liu Linzhou holding the line and the system not going into hibernation, she'll always outlive and outrun Liu Linzhou.
"Hehe." The man chuckled softly.
"Please wait here for a moment, everyone. The young master will be here shortly." The old butler bowed and then walked out on his own.
In front of me were several old chairs, with the main seat at the top and two rows on either side.
"Sit down!" Lin Xiu gently broke free from Liu Linzhou's hand and pulled Chaochao to the side.
Seeing this, the former didn't say anything, just smiled and sat down opposite.
Chaochao didn't sit down, but stood to the side very close to Lin Xiu, holding Lin Xiu's hand tightly in one hand.
The young man's palms were delicate. Lin Xiu looked up and asked, "What's wrong, Chaochao?"
"I'm fine, Sister Xiu." Chaochao smiled slightly, leaned down and whispered in Lin Xiu's ear, which from the outside it just seemed like an intimate gesture: "Sister Xiu, I have a feeling that something is not right. If anything happens, Mr. Liu could be the one to take the fall."
Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.
In Chaochao's world, no one was worth his attention except Lin Xiu.
“Nothing will happen.” Lin Xiu paused for a moment, then replied.
After she finished speaking, she looked at the bodyguard and Lin Yi. Whether it was because of their good mental fortitude or something else, none of them showed any unusual reaction.
Mercenaries like them, who live on the edge of death, should have extremely high levels of awareness.
Although Lin Xiu didn't think Wang Bai would be so 'blatant', since everyone in Haishi knew about Wang Bai's invitation, she still asked Lin Yi to inform the people outside to be ready at any time, just in case.
I have a bit of a headache.
Is Wang Bai crazy?
In a short period of time, her mind raced. She had thought it was just a trap, but who knew if she would turn into a madwoman and preside over the meeting?
Before Lin Xiu could think any further, a figure appeared in front of the door.
"I'm sorry to have kept you both waiting."
