Chapter 216 Can I follow you to cultivate immortality?
Lin Xuxi looked at Lin Xuanji trembling all over, and she didn't disturb him and let him think it through himself.
About a quarter of an hour later, the person lying on the ground showed some reaction.
Lin Xuanji forced himself to stand up on his weak legs, but his whole body was weak and he couldn't get up no matter how hard he tried. His legs were shaking and he couldn't get up.
"I'll help you." Lin Xuxi wanted to go forward to help, but her hands were opened.
Perhaps, these memories really shocked Lin Xuanji's consciousness. He never wanted to think too badly of the Lin family, but these things really happened.
Lin Xuanji knew how real those memories were in his mind.
After a long pause, Lin Xuanji asked in a tight voice, "Really?"
"Yes." Lin Xuxi nodded. "He was indeed cruel, and his actions were truly excessive. If overthrowing a brutal and unjust dynasty is a crime, then all the people are guilty as well."
This is why Lin Xuxi helps the emperor.
The emperor was a good emperor. He and his sons enjoyed a prosperous era, which was a great thing for the people. At least it would make life a little better for the people at the bottom of society.
"You know that," Lin Xuxi continued to persuade him, "You could have left the mountain earlier, but now it's too late. The people chose the dynasty, not the dynasty that chose the people."
Lin Xuanji was still in a state of chaos.
After lying exhausted on the ground for a long time, Lin Xuanji suddenly covered his face and began to cry. So many years of hatred, so many years of scheming, and now this was the end.
He didn't know whether he was crying for the previous dynasty or for the past twenty years.
"If you want to leave, I can take you away now." Lin Xuxi couldn't let Lin Xuanji stay here. The emperor would be able to find out the relationship between Lin Xuanji and the assassin in two days at the earliest.
The reason she concealed it was just to protect Lin Xuanji.
"But, but where should I go?" Lin Xuanji, a man in his forties, had tears in his eyes and looked confused, more helpless than a child.
Over the years, he has been striving and planning for this goal. Now someone comes out and tells him that what he did is wrong, and he doesn't know what to do for a moment.
"Let me take you away." Lin Xuxi soothed him, "Let's go back to the Taoist temple you came from. It's still your place. I can take you back, as long as you don't do anything stupid."
Lin Xuanji was distracted for a long time before nodding.
He was wrong, absolutely wrong. This incident was enough to shatter Lin Xuanji's faith. In fact, for him, it didn't matter where he went.
After getting consent, Lin Xuxi immediately took Lin Xuanji away.
And Lin Xuanji also experienced for the first time what it was like to fly with the wind. The wind didn't even blow on his face, but was blocked by some unknown barrier.
At first, Lin Xuanji was too scared to look down, but gradually he gained the courage to peek in. They were on a cloud, and the cloud was carrying them up.
"Is this where people practice immortal cultivation?" Lin Xuanji was surprised. It turned out that there really were people in the world who could fly with the wind and practice immortal cultivation.
Lin Xuxi nodded and said, "Yes."
"Imperial aunt, can you, can you take me with you to practice Taoism? I, maybe I can too." Lin Xuanji nervously grabbed the corner of the imperial aunt's clothes.
Hasn't he been practicing for so many years just for this moment?
Riding the wind with ease, coming and going freely.
"Your bones are not good." Lin Xuxi refused bluntly: "Besides, you are over forty years old after all. But if you keep doing this, you can live to eighty."
Hearing this, Lin Xuanji felt somewhat disappointed. But that was understandable, as his father had also said he had little talent. He sighed, "If it were my father, he would definitely be a promising cultivator."
"Maybe." Lin Xuxi nodded.
Lin Xuanji was disappointed, but it didn't bother him. He was a man who could take things as they came. He rode the wind for only half an hour before arriving at his Taoist temple, hidden in the mountains.
"I haven't been back in over ten years." Lin Xuanji felt a little sad, as the place was already dilapidated. He had been away for so long that he feared all the birds he had raised had died.
"Yes."
Lin Xuxi cast a cleansing spell, and the dilapidated Taoist temple, once covered in cobwebs, suddenly looked brand new. She turned around and said, "I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself."
After saying that, Lin Xuxi handed over a bottle of pills and explained, "These are fasting pills. After taking them, you can go without food for a month. Your vegetable gardens are all abandoned, so take care of them first."
Lin Xuxi turned around and was about to leave.
"Imperial Aunt." Lin Xuanji suddenly called her, hesitating whether to speak or not.
But Lin Xuxi knew what he was going to ask, and did not give him a chance to ask, and left on Yufeng.
Lin Xuanji sighed as he watched the imperial aunt leave. He thought to himself: As expected, his talent is not good enough, and it is not the imperial aunt's fault.
Helping the Lin family to preserve some bloodline is the only thing she can do.
And now, she was going back.
But when she returned, it was not Shen Yichen who was waiting for her, but Prince Zhao.
"You're here." Prince Zhao stood at the door in the cold wind, wearing a cloak. Seeing her coming, he quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "You!"
Prince Zhao looked around cautiously and realized that people around him were in a hurry at night. He felt relieved because they probably didn't notice him.
"Four days, there are still three days left, why did you send the horse back?" Lin Xuxi asked with a smile.
She knew what Prince Zhao came here for, but it was not convenient to say it here.
"Can we go in and discuss in detail?" At this moment, Prince Zhao's expression was different from the beginning. At first, he was mostly curious, but now he was respectful.
Because his father came home injured and told him what had happened, as soon as he heard the woman's appearance and the clothes she was wearing, he concluded that it was the horse's owner.
So, he came specially to express his gratitude.
Lin Xuxi led the group back to their room. She passed by Shen Yichen without even glancing at him. She simply walked past him, ignoring the person who seemed to be hesitating to speak.
Being ignored again, Shen Yichen also saw that the man who followed him back was that man!
"You shouldn't have come." Lin Xuxi said coldly after closing the door.
"I, I just came to thank you. After my father told me who saved him, I guessed it was your benefactor." Prince Zhao cupped his hands and bowed.
"Thank you so much for saving my father and His Majesty." Prince Zhao said, lifting his robe and kneeling on one knee, bowing. "You not only saved my father, but also saved the Zhao family! Thank you so much, benefactor. I will never forget this kindness."
"You shouldn't have come."
But Lin Xuxi was not very happy. She walked around Prince Zhao and said coldly, "You'd better tell that waiter that no one should know that we met."
"Why?" Prince Zhao was puzzled. He stood up and followed his benefactor, asking, "But what happened? Did I do something wrong?"
Lin Xuxi handed over a cup of tea and explained, "No, do you think the emperor won't investigate if I saved him? It's better not to get too involved with me, otherwise it will arouse the emperor's covetousness and suspicion."
