Lin Xiao frowned.
"It's just that he has nothing to do with it."
The Dragon Lord said again.
Lin Xiao now understood the Dragon Lord's meaning.
This person wasn't lying; he wasn't involved in the Lin family's tragedy back then. However, that didn't mean the Shadow Assassins weren't involved in the tragedy.
"It's just wordplay."
Lin Xiao instantly understood what it meant.
After communicating with the Dragon Lord for a while, he hung up the phone.
For the first time in many years, he picked up his phone and began to jot down the thoughts in his mind.
The person he met today should not be hostile towards him.
Otherwise, given the strength he displayed, it was unlikely he would have been forced to flee passively – or there were limitations preventing him from attacking.
No powerful individual would be pursued and beaten without retaliating.
He preferred to believe there were some constraints.
Then there was the matter of why they destroyed Zheng Aijia's place.
If he wasn't hostile towards him, then this person must have had a mission?
With this thought, Lin Xiao abandoned deeper contemplation. The best approach was to capture Di Qing.
His True Dragon Qi was still on Di Qing. kuAiδugg
These people seemed unable to detect True Dragon Qi, which gave him more opportunities.
After a brief rest, he sensed that the True Dragon Qi had not moved.
...
"Foolish."
Di Qing was thrown to the ground, and the dark figure snorted coldly, filled with dissatisfaction. "To be discovered by Lin Xiao. Didn't I tell you that if you wanted to return safely for revenge, you should stay put and not wander around?"
"I..."
Di Qing's expression was somewhat embarrassed. It was indeed because he had gone out and about today that Lin Xiao found him. If it weren't for the appearance of this dark figure, he didn't know how badly he would have fared right now.
However, it was also the first time he had felt the gap between himself and Lin Xiao so closely.
This feeling was like seeing their Vice Palace Master and Palace Master in the Immortal Palace in the past. The gap in strength was like a chasm.
He couldn't accept that Lin Xiao was decades younger than him but his cultivation had far surpassed his.
"Alright, he won't be able to find you here for now! You'll cultivate the techniques I gave you well during these days. If you want to leave the imperial capital safely without being discovered, this is your only option." The dark figure tossed the black leather book into Di Qing's hand.
He had been quite satisfied with Di Qing initially, but now, the more he looked, the more displeased he became.
Compared to Lin Xiao, Di Qing was nothing.
The thought of the strength Lin Xiao had just displayed sent a shiver down his spine. How did that kid cultivate? It was rumored that he reached this point in less than six years. If he progressed further, he feared he might truly ascend to freedom.
That would be...
Terrifying.
No wonder the boss said never to become an enemy of Lin Xiao.
But the entire Lin family was brought down by that guy, and now they were cleaning up his mess.
Now, Lin Xiao had his sights set on them.
Lin Xiao would eventually find them.
He didn't know what would happen after that. Would Lin Xiao single-handedly storm their Shadow headquarters?
Probably not.
His mind suddenly flashed with Lin Xiao's aura of killing intent that manifested as armor. Perhaps Lin Xiao would actually do something like that.
