Chapter 813: Xi Jin Doesn’t Believe in Xi Lin
Xi Lin nodded. She then said in an angry and pitying tone, “It’s a shame that you are in a different body right now. Otherwise, you are the one who should be the head of the Shen Family. You could even become the lord of the Xuantian Continent. However, everything that belonged to you has been snatched away.”
While she was talking about the Shen Family, Xi Lin raised her head and immediately added, “I have been trying to get something out of my parents recently. However, I still haven’t gotten anything at the moment. Don’t worry. I will definitely find something out from them.”
Although Xi Lin had been in the palace recently without visiting Tianlan, she still hadn’t forgotten what Tianlan told her to do.
Feng Tianlan replied with a soft ‘uh-huh,’ then said, “It’s alright.” There were too few people who knew about what happened back then. She could only start her investigation with either Shen Bokang or the emperor. Otherwise, she wouldn’t find anything.Xi Lin was thinking about Xi Jin. Therefore, she left in a hurry after saying a few words. She wanted to take a trip to Shen Manor. She mustn’t let Shen Yunya brainwash her brother with that so-called last wish of Dai’er’s anymore.
Shen Yunya liked her brother so much that she had even killed Dai’er, yet she still had the nerve to keep mentioning Dai’er. She really had thick skin.
Xi Jin had waited for about an hour outside. When he finally saw Xi Lin coming out in a hurry, he immediately chased after her. “Lin’er,” he called.
“Big Brother?” When Lin’er heard Xi Jin’s call, she turned around and looked at him. He was walking towards her. “Big Brother, why are you here? Aren’t you…?”
She couldn’t say it. Otherwise, her big brother would definitely think that she sent someone to spy on him.
“I just came out of the Shen Manor and was planning to head back to the palace, then I saw you heading towards Bailan Alliance in a hurry. Therefore, I waited for you outside.” Xi Jin raised his head and looked at the Bailan Alliance. “Why did you come here?”
“I’m here to look for…” It seemed like she couldn’t say this, either.When Xi Jin saw her stop speaking halfway, he frowned. “Were you here to look for Si Mobai?” he asked.
Xi Jin shook her head. “No. Why would I be looking for him when he’s not in? No, that’s not it. Even if he was in, I still wouldn’t be looking for him.”
She had come to the Bailan Alliance several times, yet she had never seen the Demon King. There’s no reason to see him, either. She was there to meet Tianlan.
“Then who were you looking for?” Xi Jin asked.
Xi Lin remained silent. She was hesitating over whether or not she should tell him that she was there to look for Tianlan. It would be alright if she said that, right?
Her big brother hadn’t recognized Tianlan as Dai’er on his previous trip to Guiyuan Continent. Therefore, he shouldn’t recognize her now just because she looked for Tianlan, right?
Upon seeing her behavior, Xi Jin spoke in a deep voice, saying, “Lin’er, I have told you many times not to like Si Mobai. He is not a good match. At least not with you. Lin’an City is currently filled with rumors about how pampering he is towards his Princess Consort. Didn’t you hear?”
Xi Lin felt a headache coming on after listening to what he said. She then stared back at him as she said, “Big brother, I didn’t look for him. I was here to look for his Princess Consort, Feng Tianlan.”
“Feng Tianlan?” Xi Jin was shocked. He then looked at Xi Lin doubtfully. “Since when were you close with her?”
“I would say that we were destined to be friends.” Xi Lin looked away with guilt. “After all, we became love rivals due to the recent rumors. When the Demon King brought her over for a confrontation, I realized that her character was very compatible with mine. Hence, we became good friends. This is what they refer to as birds of a feather flocking together.”
“Escort me in so I can take a look.” Xi Jin took Xi Lin’s hand and headed towards Bailan Alliance. “You always look away when you’re lying. I don’t believe you.”
“Big Brother…”
“Anyway, Feng Tianlan and I know each other. I must meet her. Otherwise, I won’t believe you.” Xi Jin was pulling Xi Lin forcefully. He knew Si Mobai’s character well. He only had Feng Tianlan in his heart. He could never accept another.
Xi Lin tugged her mouth helplessly. She just let him take her along. “Alright.”
It would be better for them to meet as well. Tianlan should be able to be at ease after seeing him. Besides, it was also better for her big brother to divert his attention.
