Full-time Swordsman

"Boss! Can we really get the abilities in the game?"

In the Friendly Equipment Store, Zuo You couldn't help but ask Lin Jichen out of curiosity.

Lin Jichen checked the store's account income and answered without looking up: "Hasn't the official said it? Don't you believe it?"

"I prefer to believe what you say, boss. I will definitely believe what you say!" Zuo You said seriously.

Lin Jichen put away the account book and answered her seriously: "It is true, so now you need to improve your strength. You haven't even reached the Transformation Realm yet, you are too lazy."

Zuo You smiled embarrassedly and said: "I am busy. I have to manage the store and help President Jiang manage Yueying. How can I have time?"

"It's okay, Yueying, you don't have to worry about it anymore. President Jiang is back. As for the store, you don't have to watch it every day. Everything is the same as before. Just leave it to the NPC to manage. During this period, you should level up well for me. After a while, I will take time to take you to brush some equipment and skills suitable for you."

Lin Jichen urged.

Zuo You obediently agreed, and smiled brightly with a row of big white teeth.

After Lin Jichen finished explaining, he turned around and asked, "Is the area near where you live safe?"

Zuo You tilted his head and thought for a while, "It should be... safe. I live in an old community, and I haven't heard of any monster invasion nearby. But I seem to have heard from the people in the community that they will move here soon. They said they will build a defense fortification in our community, and then they will take us to live in a temporary area, and let us move back when the monsters are eliminated."

Lin Jichen frowned slightly and said, "Where are your family members?"

Zuo You responded, "They have moved to the safest place a long time ago."

"Then why don't you follow them?"

Zuo You looked bitter and said, "They won't take me with them."

"Why?" Lin Jichen asked curiously.

Zuo You shook her head, sighed, and said, "My mother died of illness when I was very young, and my father married a stepmother very early. The stepmother disliked me. Later, after the stepmother gave birth to two children, my father also disliked me and thought I was embarrassing them, so he drove me out."

Speaking of this, Zuo You subconsciously looked down at her legs, her eyes full of loneliness and inferiority.

Although she was healthy in the game, in reality, she was a cripple. Wherever she went, she would be surrounded by strange eyes. Her family thought she was embarrassing and didn't want to live with her at all, and even didn't want to admit that she was their daughter.

Lin Jichen was a little surprised. He didn't know about this in his previous life. He didn't expect that this girl couldn't go home. No wonder she liked the guild she founded so much.

Maybe the guild at the time was like a home to her.

Lin Jichen was silent for a moment and said, "Do you want to live in Jiangling?"

Zuo You looked up in surprise and said, "Jiangling?"

"Yes, I live in Jiangling. Why don't you come to Jiangling and be my roommate?" Lin Jichen made a solemn invitation.

Now, among the game team members around him, only Zuo You did not live here.

He did not have any ideas about the girl, but he was just thinking about her safety.

Although Zuo You did not encounter any danger in the fusion of the previous world, the fusion was advanced after all, and now there are many crises. If Zuo You has any accidents, he will lose a capable assistant and friend.

Zuo You did not expect Lin Jichen to let her share a house with him. Her pretty face flushed immediately. She was about to agree, but she thought of her legs.

"No, no, boss, it's not convenient for me, let's forget it."

Zuo You was afraid that Lin Jichen would feel disgusted after seeing her lame leg, and waved her hands to refuse.

Lin Jichen seemed to understand her thoughts. He wanted to tell Zuo You that he would not dislike her at all, but after all, they had never met, and he respected Zuo You's self-esteem.

He thought about it and stopped persuading her. He just said, "Okay, but write down my phone number. If you encounter any danger or problems, call me immediately and I will come immediately."

Zuo You was relieved when she heard this, but she was laughing in her heart. She was in Bashu, at least a thousand miles away from Jiangling.

Even if she took a plane, it would take at least several hours. If she really encountered danger, how could the boss come in time?

It's better not to bother the boss, so that he won't come to discover the secret of his lame leg, hehe.

Lin Jichen gave Zuo You a few more instructions, then left his shop and turned to go to Huafengzhou to find Qinglin Pool.

However, just as he was about to leave the city, he was stopped by an acquaintance.

"Mr. Lin, please stay."

Lin Jichen smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Gao, what a coincidence? Did you come to see me specially?"Eunuch Gao bowed and said respectfully: "That's right, Master Lin, I am following the order of His Majesty to invite you to the palace for a chat."

Lin Jichen was a little surprised and said: "Tongyin is looking for me? Do you know what it is?"

Eunuch Gao shook his head and said: "His Majesty didn't say anything, but just asked me to tell Master Lin that you must go to the palace to see her."

Eunuch Gao looked around and whispered: "To be honest with you, Master Lin, I think your Majesty is in danger recently."

"Why?" Lin Jichen was shocked.

Eunuch Gao said with a serious face: "I will only tell you this matter, Master Lin, don't tell anyone."

"Understood." Lin Jichen nodded to promise.

Eunuch Gao then revealed a shocking news, saying: "Not long ago, His Majesty has found out where the late emperor was in seclusion. After that, His Majesty locked himself in the Sutra Library to practice many forbidden techniques, as if he was going to do something big."

Lin Jichen's eyebrows jumped, and a possibility flashed through his mind. He and Eunuch Gao exchanged glances, and both seemed to have guessed it.

"Could it be that Tongyin really wants to..."

"Shh, Mr. Lin, please stop talking. Everything is just speculation. Don't damage His Majesty's reputation." Eunuch Gao made a gesture to silence.

Lin Jichen shut up tactfully and changed his words: "Eunuch Gao, lead the way. I'm going to see Tongyin."

Eunuch Gao was delighted and quickly led the way. He also reminded Lin Jichen to persuade His Majesty more.

Lin Jichen naturally agreed. He didn't want Ji Tongyin to really do such a treasonous thing as killing his father.

Not to mention that this matter is against human ethics, more importantly, he is afraid that Ji Tongyin will fail.

The two of them came all the way to the palace, and Eunuch Gao led him to the imperial study and left.

Lin Jichen walked in alone. He had been here last time, and he and Ji Tongyin almost had an unspeakable thing happen on the dragon throne.

If it weren't for the interruption of the palace maid outside, I'm afraid he would have unlocked a new posture at that time...

But this time Lin Jichen found that there was no palace maid inside and outside the imperial study. What happened? ? ?

.....

Grandma Qingjiu was sick the day before yesterday, and I was in a hurry to go home to visit her. I didn't update or notify everyone in advance. I'm very sorry
