Chapter 206 A dying person?
Chapter 206 A dying person?
Lin Changan and the other two felt something was wrong and quickly called out, "Master Xiao."
Xiao Ke greeted him as a greeting.
Qiu Chen pointed to the white cloth banner outside the door and asked, "Master Xiao, has anyone died in your Xiao Mansion?"
"Oh!" Xiao Ke shook his head, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing the puzzled looks of Lin Changan and the other two, Xiao Ke continued, "To be honest, no one has died yet, but in a few days, someone will die. Please be patient."
Lin Changan suddenly realized that he and others were asked to protect a corpse?
Lin Changan immediately went up to him and said, "Xiao Ke, what exactly happened? Maybe we can help you."
Xiao Ke hesitated for a moment, then said, "The immortals, please go back and rest first. There's nothing else to do here. Wait a few days until you accept this mission and send them back. It will be considered completed. I will definitely help you sign the contract."
Lin Changan and others were even more confused. He was just a dead man. Why would he run to Xuantian Sect to take on this task?
Seeing that Xiao Ke said this, Lin Changan didn't say much. He followed Xiao Ke into the yard.
"Why don't you quickly place these immortals in the best rooms?"
Soon a servant came up and welcomed Lin Changan and the other two in.
"Three Immortals, please rest and recover from your injuries. I will have someone prepare food for you when it's time for dinner. However, before that, I have also reminded you three not to go out at night..."
Xiao Ke said this and walked towards the back.
After Xiao Ke left, Lin Changan and the other two followed the servant to a guest room. It was a high-class guest room, in no way inferior to the restaurants in the city.
Just as the servant was about to leave, Lin Changan stopped him and said, "Young man, where is this place? Why are there no bodies and white flags?"
Lin Changan's words stunned the servant.
Just as he was about to leave, Qiu Chen stopped him.
"Brother, if you don't tell me the reason, I won't let you go."
Qiu Chen threatened.
"My three immortals, please forgive me. I am just a servant and I have no idea about it."
"Brother, don't be afraid. I'm just asking who is going to die."
Lin Changan's tone softened.
"I don't know. I really don't know."
The servant turned a deaf ear to Lin Changan's questions, just shook his head and refused to speak.
Lin Changan's face darkened and he said, "You don't need us to tell you. We can all see that he is your young master's son and he is about to be killed."
When Lin Changan said this, the servant was stunned and said, "Master, I didn't say that. What you said is true. You can't say that I said it."
The servant trembled with fear.
"Okay, I don't have to tell your master, but you have to explain it to us clearly."
The servant was terrified and stammered, "My daughter had a tragic fate. She shouldn't have died young. However, she contracted a strange disease, and it's contagious. Therefore, we have all been ordered by the master not to spread the news. Three immortals, I have already told you, you must not let them know."
"Is that so?" Lin Changan and the other two suddenly understood.
"Okay, brother, we'll keep it a secret. You go down first."
When the servant heard this, he ran away immediately.
Qiu Chen and Bing Hongbin were also confused. "Lin Changan, what exactly happened? How did you know that Xiao Ke's son had a problem? He was already dying!"
Both of them looked at Lin Changan with anticipation.
However, the other person chuckled, "I don't know either. I'm just guessing. After all, anyone who can hang a white banner in such a large courtyard must be of high status. And the one who makes the final decision should be him."
"How can you be sure that this is Xiao Ke's biological child and not his own?"
Bing Hongbin also looked confused.
"To be honest, I wasn't sure at first, but looking at Xiao Ke's demeanor, he shouldn't be so low-key. After all, it's normal for a mortal to die of old age. If an elder passed away, a large family like the Xiao Mansion would probably pay close attention. But they seemed to be hiding something, only hanging white flags in the courtyard instead of in the yard, and they also kept the door closed, probably to prevent others from knowing. So I guess it wasn't their predecessor."
"That's right." Qiu Chen nodded in agreement.
Lin Changan paused for a moment, then continued, "Looking at Xiao Ke's appearance, he must be hiding something from outsiders. He also looks very regretful and sad. He must be his son."
"However, there is one thing I can't understand. Why did Xiao Ke go to Xuantian Sect in person and ask someone to send him a body?"
"Not necessary unless there's another reason."
Qiu Chen, Bing Hongbin and others were all thinking.
Lin Changan and the other two were completely puzzled, so they decided not to think too much about it and just wait and see what would happen.
Soon it was time for dinner. Xiao Ke asked the servants to bring the meal to the residence of Lin Changan and the other two, and then the three of them gathered together again.
"Lin Chang'an, it's dark now, it's time to take action." Qiu Chen said in a low voice.
"Yeah, Xiaoke doesn't let us go out at night. He must have something to do."
Lin Changan and the other two didn't believe it and insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
Lin Changan and the other two restrained their aura and quietly came to the back of the yard, ready to watch the show.
At this time, the yard was empty, with only one room with a light on.
"Lin Chang'an, we've been waiting here for two hours, and nothing has happened. Could it be that we saw it wrong?"
Qiu Chen was a little impatient and sent a message to Lin Changan.
"Don't worry, I'll make you make some noise back there."
Lin Changan is full of confidence.
Always looking at the big house with lights on.
At this moment, Xiao Ke came out with a skinny old man and opened the door for Lin Changan.
"is that OK?"
"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared."
"Sir, my girl is in such a plight. How about we ask a powerful immortal to kill her?"
"Old Xiao, shut up! If you say another word, I'll blow your mouth apart."
Xiao Ke glared at him but didn't dare to yell.
"However, this girl..." Old Xiao choked.
"Alas, there's nothing I can do about it. My poor girl has contracted this strange disease. If he could relieve my pain, that would be even better."
Xiao Ke sighed.
