As long as there are enough vests, the plot can't kill me

After nearly two months of recuperation, Lin Xiao's spiritual discomfort had mostly improved, and he finally had the energy to do other things.

Life seemed to have returned to the time when I was still in the Lin family, reading books, writing, playing games, fortune-telling, cheating people and poking fingers.

After countless attempts, she successfully poked a big hole in the stone table a few days ago, almost scaring Uncle Kun's knife away.

The senior monk stared at the hole on the table without saying a word, and inexplicably felt a sense of pressure.

It can have such power without a trace of spiritual energy. Once the little girl draws the energy into her body, this one finger alone will be enough to kill any cultivator below the Golden Core stage.

What a little monster!

"Girl, it's only a few thousand miles away, and you haven't come back in seven days. I think your judgment is wrong this time!"

With a sense of professionalism and urgency, Uncle Kun has significantly reduced the frequency of sharpening his knife and has begun to take the initiative to care about the bricks under his command.

Especially when he learned that the little girl expressed her optimism about Qi Lao San and wanted to keep that material by her side for use, he couldn't help but mutter a lot.

"Uncle Kun, be patient. The fact that he's taking so long means that the third brother has understood what I mean and can prioritize."

Lin Xiao smiled helplessly. Only now did he realize that Uncle Kun was actually an impatient person.

However, she also felt something unusual that Qi Yu had not come back for such a long time.

The market town had just opened and was not yet well-known, and the third in command's cultivation was not high enough. If he wanted to meet Principal Su, he not only needed to use his brain, but also spent some effort.

Whether you can convey your meaning well and let the other party know your attitude clearly is the key to this test.

"If you can't sit still, go out more often. While my 'senior brother' is still in seclusion, you can help take care of Blue Moon City."

"Ha, bad girl, you want me to go out and scare people?"

Without any worries, Uncle Kun's temperament became more lively, and he slowly began to appreciate the joy of arguing with people.

He smiled and teased Young Master Lin. To avoid a counterattack from the little girl, he carried his weapons and walked out. "I have never been to where those wealthy families live. It's a good opportunity to see them."

Lin Xiao had never seen anything like this before. He attacked and then ran away. There was no fun at all!

She rolled her eyes fiercely, with a half-smile on her face, "Uncle is becoming more and more shameless, which is really cause for celebration."

Uncle Kun was busy running away, so he didn't take the initiative to answer the call. He just pretended that he was deaf and couldn't hear anything.

He ran as fast as he could, and his running-for-life posture made the two remaining people in the yard laugh.

Unlike seven days ago, after Qi Yu took the order and left, there was one more resident in this courtyard the next day in addition to Lin Xiao and Uncle Kun.

A teenage girl with an innocent face and a smile in her eyes.

She is Qi Yu's daughter, Qi Liu.

"Young Master, would you like some tea now?"

Hearing the little girl's less restrained request, Lin Xiao nodded slightly.

She has never been a good person, and she doesn't care about what others think of her.

Whether it is a hostage or a favor, it all depends on how your subordinates think about it.

The task of delivering the letter seems simple, but Young Master Lin knows the risks involved. After all, the Great Thousand World is not a society ruled by law, and the third brother’s cultivation is indeed a bit low.

Bringing Qi Liu to her side in advance to take care of him was a way for her, the young master, to show her love for her own people.

"Xiao Liu, you did the right thing. If you don't know something, you can ask. Don't take the initiative to speculate on the thoughts of your superiors, unless they ask you to guess."

"Thank you for your teaching, young master. I will study hard."

The little girl is young but very smart and she cherishes this rare opportunity very much.

She knew from the envious eyes of her eldest and second uncles that this was earned by her father through missions, and this trip would definitely be dangerous.

I hope dad can come home soon!

"I understand. Go find your uncle."

"Yes, my lord."

Lin Xiao naturally could not hide the worry in the little girl's eyes.

Something is indeed wrong with the situation.

When you go, you should take the time to ponder the nature of the task, and it is normal to go slowly.

But once he completed the task of delivering the letter, the third brother would not dare to delay on the road even if he had to run his legs off.

Could it be that the person was praised too highly and couldn't see his own worth?

"Greetings, young master." Ge Wen came very quickly and appeared in the courtyard in less than half a cup of tea.

He happened to have something to ask someone, and after running into Qi Liu who was out looking for him at the door, he hurried over.

Lin Xiao was a little surprised. Seeing the other party's anxious face and frequently looking at his niece, his heart sank suddenly.

"Xiao Liu, go boil some water for tea."

"Yes."

"Young Master, something happened to the third brother." As soon as his niece stepped out of the courtyard, Ge Wen couldn't wait to tell her the news, and his eyes turned red.

He and the second brother did envy the third brother for being valued by the young master, but after all, they were brothers who had worked together for many years and even lived together with their families, so their relationship would not be affected by such a small matter.

"What about people?"

"I don't know. The convoy returned to the city last night. The people who went to see the children were talking about it privately. A monk swung a knife at the guards of Lide Middle School and was carried into the school with serious injuries."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao moved his hands on the stone table and tapped them rhythmically.

After a moment's silence, she asked softly, "So, what did the Third Brother do to make you conclude that the monk was him?"

"Old Third, Old Third, hold up the knife and say, say..." Ge Wen's face was full of complexities. Finally, he gritted his teeth and repeated Qi Yu's words loudly, "Anyone who insults the young master will die!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiao's scattered fingers clenched into fists, and his eyes suddenly became more sharp.

At this moment, there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground at the door.

Young Master Lin ignored the little girl who had committed a taboo, and did not show any extra emotions such as anger or anxiety. He gave three orders in a normal tone.

"First, go find the parents of those students and find out the cause and reasons behind the incident. The more detailed the better.

Second, speed up the construction of the Wind Information Department. I don’t care about the process, I only look at the results.

Third, the trial operation of the market has ended and it is officially open to customers, and a separate news transaction has been added."

Except for the first one which is related to the third brother, the remaining two are aimed at the market town.

In the past, Ge Wen might have had doubts, and even couldn't help but muster up the courage to ask why they didn't go and bring the person back.

But ever since he learned about the third brother's desperate efforts for the young master, he was completely shocked and understood a truth.

The third brother is different from them. He is in his current state only because of lack of opportunities and luck.

"Master, I know what to do."

Such a calm reaction made Lin Xiao couldn't help but look up, wondering if he was a little too harsh on his subordinates. Lao Ge was also a capable person.

The mere possession of this rare quality of self-knowledge is enough to surpass the vast majority of those who have lofty ambitions.

With such an eldest brother around, the three brothers would not break up even if the third brother came to power in the future.

"My uncle is very free recently. If you have any questions, you can go to him directly."

Ge Wen was very smart and had already noticed something from the change in the young master's attitude.

The proprietor is the military guarantee and the biggest backer of the market town, but he himself is not very good at running a business.

It is possible for him and his second brother to become "one of our own", and now is the opportunity.

"I understand. I will do my best to serve the owner with my second brother."

"Well, you go."

"Yes."

Noticed that Old Ge still mentioned his second brother at this time, Lin Xiao felt that Uncle Kun must have great luck, even if he couldn't "see" it with his own eyes.

The three people I picked up at random are all talented. With a little training, they will be of great use in the future.

Not to mention the eldest and the third brother, Chiwu may not seem to be very smart, but he is the most loyal and honorable one.

If Lin Xiao could only choose one person to stay with his elders, it would have to be this person. For example, the nickname "Brick" was derived from him.

Ge Wen had no idea what the young master was thinking. He was full of energy at this moment and wanted to find his second brother immediately to discuss how to work harder.

But when he passed by the side room, he saw his niece squatting on the ground, wiping her tears and lighting a fire, and he stopped immediately.

The boss didn't say anything, but instead frowned and gave a look of extremely harsh reproach.

Qi Liu was confused when he saw this, and understood what his uncle wanted to express.

Pfft!

"Young Master, please punish me."

The little girl held the tea tray and knelt heavily on the ground. Self-blame, regret, panic and worry were intertwined in her heart, and her little face became colorful.

Seeing Qi Liu admit her mistake, Lin Xiao did not say anything, but just looked at her with an indifferent look until the little girl's chin was filled with a mixture of tears and sweat.

"Get up! You've wasted the only chance you had. Your father risked his life to earn it for you."

"Young Master, I, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again." Qi Liu knelt on the ground motionless. The well-protected little girl realized for the first time how difficult it is to be an adult.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao sighed softly, walked forward, took the tea tray and placed it on the table, then reached out and pulled the person up.

Then she put her hands on the little girl's shoulders, stared into her eyes and slowly said these words.

"Xiao Liu, many times right and wrong are just a rule of situation, which is determined by strength and environment, not the truth.

Anyone who does anything has a reason. The difference lies in whether the strong is willing to accept the reasons of the weak.

From now on, before you do something, you should think clearly about whether you can bear the consequences of doing so and whether you will regret it in the future."
