New and dark light years

Chapter 164 Arrival
Li Lin looked at the other person in surprise. He hadn't expected that An Xin would be afraid of paper figures.

Besides, it's still daytime.

These little paper figures are pink, have big eyes, and are incredibly cute.

Li Lin designed it this way so that people wouldn't be afraid of it.

It's understandable that ordinary people would be afraid, but An Xin is the senior disciple of Tianyi Sect, with great strength, yet he is also afraid!
"If you're afraid of paper dolls, why did you want to trade with me?" Li Lin asked, puzzled.

An Xin glanced at the little paper figures running around on the ground, swallowed hard, his eyes darting around, and said, "It's not that I want to learn, it's just that the elders think that if our sect recruits a Spirit Hunter in the future, then at least we should teach him some powerful spells. Now that we have the Lightning Strike Spell, then... we should also have such a famous spell as the Paper Weaving Technique."

Li Lin nodded, then looked at the man lying on the ground and walked over.

"Who are you?" Li Lin asked. "Why are you lingering outside my door?"

The man coughed up blood.

Although An Xin injured him, he held back and did not kill him outright.

He looked up at Li Lin and said, feeling wronged, "I just came to find someone; I didn't intend to do anything."

"Then why are you acting so suspiciously, and even thinking about running away?"

The man looked at the little paper figures around him, his expression growing increasingly aggrieved: "If these things get out, of course I have to run."

Anxin thought it made a lot of sense, because he was also afraid of these moving paper figures.

But Li Lin didn't see it that way.

In any case, being sneaky in front of your own room is most likely a sign of something wrong.

“Send this man to the government office,” Li Lin said with a smile. “I’ll interrogate him myself, and he should tell the truth. Brother An, please wait a moment.”

Anxin nodded.

Li Lin beckoned, and all the little paper figures ran back, lying down in Li Lin's palm, one on top of the other, no longer moving.

Then Li Lin put away the paper figures.

Just then, Li Lin was about to arrest the man and take him to the government office, but unexpectedly, several people surrounded him outside.

One of them was waving a paper fan and dressed as a scholar; he looked somewhat familiar.

Then Li Lin remembered that it was the eldest son of the Wang family.

An Xin looked at the other person and frowned slightly.

Now that Li Lin has taken back the paper doll, An Xin's condition has returned to normal.

“Wang Yunzhi, the eldest son of the Wang family.” An Xin walked to Li Lin’s side and explained in a low voice.

Li Lin nodded slightly.

Wang Yunzhi walked in, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Gentlemen, why did you injure my servants?"

“He’s trying to steal something,” Li Lin said with a smile.

"I didn't!" the man lying on the ground cried out with difficulty, "Young master, I didn't!"

“Brother, this is a false accusation,” Wang Yunzhi said with a sly smile, his eyes narrowed.

Li Lin smiled and said, "You say we injured your servants? Isn't that a false accusation? Falsely accusing an official is a more serious crime, young master Wang."

An Xin looked at Li Lin abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He always thought Li Lin was a very sensible and reasonable person.

But now it seems that Li Lin was lying through his teeth... or rather, he's really good at labeling people.

Wang Yunzhi pointed around: "Everyone can see!"

Li Lin looked around and asked with a smile, "Who saw it!"

The onlookers, including the shop assistant and the owner, all looked away.

At this moment, Li Lin was dressed in a black official robe, so who would dare to cause trouble?

An Xin hissed!
He finally understood the difference between people from the martial arts world and people in government.

Li Lin laughed and said, "Young Master Wang, you see, no one saw you. But someone did see you, my servant, acting suspiciously where I am staying."

Wang Yunzhi looked around angrily and asked, "Who saw it!"

He thought no one would dare to answer, but An Xin said with a smile, "I saw it."

"You!" Wang Yunzhi pointed at An Xin and said angrily, "My Wang family has no grudge against the Tianyi Sect, why do you have to kick us when we're down, Young Hero An?" "Not before, but now I am," An Xin said with a smile.

Li Lin looked at Wang Yunzhi and said, "I guess this person was also sent by you, Young Master Wang, to assassinate me, so please come with me, Young Master Wang."

"Don't push your luck!" Wang Yunzhi retorted angrily. "This is Jincheng, not your Yulin County."

“But no matter where I am, I am an official.” Li Lin picked up the long spear beside him and slowly stepped forward.

If the other party resists, he will resort to violence.

At that moment, a few more people entered from outside.

The leader was Young Master Wang, Wang Tianyou.

"County Commandant Li, please wait a moment, I'll do you a favor," Wang Tianyou said sincerely, clasping his hands in a fist salute as he approached Li Lin.

Li Lin looked at Wang Tianyou and saw the pleading in his eyes.

The Wang family was considered a prominent family in Tianjin, and they cared about their reputation.

If Wang Yunzhi is really arrested by Li Lin and imprisoned in the government office, the Wang family's reputation will plummet.

Li Lin pointed to the man lying next to him: "What should we do with this person?"

“He is indeed a servant of my Wang family, and I don’t know why he did this.” Wang Tianyou said with a wry smile, “But I will give you an explanation later. I also owe County Magistrate Li a big favor. Please.”

Li Lin nodded: "I need to know the result."

"Will do."

Wang Yunzhi's face was extremely grim. He couldn't solve the problem, but his younger brother could do it with ease.

This made him feel very frustrated.

Li Lin ignored Wang Yunzhi and looked at An Xin: "Let's go outside and talk."

"it is good."

The two went outside and exchanged their secret manuals. An Xin clasped his hands in a fist and asked, "Is there any possibility that County Magistrate Li will be promoted to a higher official position in our Jincheng in the future?"

He was very impressed by how Li Lin had handled Wang Yunzhi just now.

As expected of an official, he can make nonsense sound so legitimate, something that even江湖人 (jianghu people, people from all walks of life) cannot do.

Li Lin shook his head: "It's hard to say."

In fact, Li Lin felt there was hope.

After all... Huang Yan is an official in Tianjin, so he can probably pull some strings.

But Li Lin didn't want to come.

Yulin County is the town where the Tree Fairy Goddess Temple is located. Since we are from the same area, we naturally have a powerful ally standing behind us.

There are many things that can be done.

Going to Tianjin, however, actually makes many things more difficult and restrictive.

Unless the temple town of Jin County can also be given to the Tree Fairy Goddess, then that would be about right.

"That's a shame."

If Li Lin comes, Tianyi Sect will have another powerful backer.

The two chatted casually for a few minutes before parting ways.

When Li Lin arrived at the village army camp at the south gate of the city, he saw a man lingering outside. Upon seeing Li Lin, the man rushed over, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands, and said, "County Commandant Li, I, Xiao, am willing to serve under you to the death. Please accept me as your subordinate."

This person is Xiao Chunzhu, the third senior brother of the Lingxiao Sect.

Li Lin looked at him with considerable surprise: "You didn't leave? Where are your junior brothers?"

“They went back,” Xiao Chunzhu said helplessly. “But if I go back, I’ll most likely be in grave danger. The sect leaders won’t let me go.”

"Because your seventh junior brother died?"

“Yes!” Xiao Chunzhu sighed. “He is exceptionally talented and is a key talent that the sect wants to cultivate. The fact that we, his fellow disciples, were able to escort him back this time speaks volumes.”

Li Lin nodded, indicating that he understood: "But why should I accept you? I'm just a lowly county constable."

"You're already a county magistrate at such a young age." Xiao Chunzhu looked at Li Lin with confidence in her eyes: "Given time, you will surely rise to a high position."
