C12 (2/2)

The middle-aged man recounted what happened earlier. The old man was surprised when he heard this, ”This kid can withstand the winds splitting apart and still be able to escape from your hands. He's not a mediocre person.”

”Old Ancestor, he has the Netherworld Flame on him.” Wandering Heaven reminded.

”Oh?” The old fogey's eyes lit up as he examined Lin Xiao's body. Then, he shook his head in regret, ”It's not Origin Essence, it's something that can be cultivated in the Houtian realm. It's useless to me. This guy is completely crippled, even if he were to be saved, he would still be a cripple. Deal with him, then we will go to Flowing Cloud River as guests.

Under the orders of the old fogey, Lin Xiao was carried back to his room. He then faked the room to be a fire and left.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiao finally regained some consciousness, but her head was extremely dizzy and she could not open her eyes.

He could only hear someone calling for a doctor.

Slowly, Lin Xiao felt his body recover a bit. He was finally able to open his eyes. Looking around, he discovered that he was in the hospital.

Why was he in the hospital? What happened to Long Xuan in the end? Was he saved? Finally, Long Xuan called out grandpa Nangong. Was that old man Nangong?

Lin Xiao had too many questions, but his whole body was stiff and painful, and his mouth was dry.

Just then, a man in a cheap suit with a briefcase walked in.

”Lin Xiao, you're finally awake. Heavens, I don't even know what to do anymore. It's not like I can contact your family.”

This was Lin Xiao's university classmate, Wang Hai. When he had first brought Long Xuan for breakfast, he had even met him and said that he would treat Lin Xiao to a meal next time.

”Water.”

Lin Xiao licked her chapped lips, taking the cup of water from Wang Hai and gulping down a few mouthfuls of saliva. Only then did she feel her throat become much more moist, no longer smoking.

Lin Xiao lay back on the bed and looked at the ceiling. ”Hai Yang, why are you here?”

Wang Hai put down his briefcase and sat to the side, slowly saying to Lin Xiao, ”So it turns out that Wang Hai was planning to find Lin Xiao today. He came to treat Lin Xiao to a meal as per his promise that day.” As a result, when he walked closer to the Lin Xiao family, he discovered that there were many people watching. When he squeezed in, he knew that the Lin Xiao family was on fire and Lin Xiao had already been sent to the hospital.

”It's strange, your neighbors all said that they never noticed your house on fire. When they found out, your house had already been burnt out, and the fire didn't spread at all, as if it was just burning your house. It's not strange that you said that.” Wang Hai expressed his sympathy for Lin Xiao's pitiful encounter.

”Lin Xiao, don't worry and take care of your illness. I've already paid for your medical expenses.”

Lin Xiao didn't understand why Wandering Sky's group didn't kill him and instead threw him into his house. As for the fire, and the suspicious points Wang Hai mentioned, it could only be explained by demonic arts.

As for Long Xuan. Thinking of Long Xuan, Lin Xiao sighed. Long Xuan should be fine since Nangong had finally arrived. As for him, he was obviously abandoned.

He mocked himself with a smile. He originally thought that everyone was a friendly demon, but in the end, it was just wishful thinking. They were probably just using him. Whether it was Fei Yu who asked him to translate the ancient books or Nangong who asked him to take care of Long Xuan, he was only using him as a tool and not as a companion.

As a partner? Lin Xiao smiled. Indeed, what qualifications did he have to be the partner of those powerful demons?

His chest suddenly felt a warm sensation spread throughout his body. Lin Xiao was shocked, this was … Netherworld Flame!?
