On Longhu Mountain, there wasn't a single night where he didn't feel a chill down his spine.
He didn't know if someone was after him, perhaps people from the Shadow Assassins?
Or maybe…
Lin Xiao suddenly remembered something. He hadn't called home in several days. Luo Qinghan and that little girl Xun'er must be unhappy.
With that thought, he immediately took out his phone.
He then saw that his phone was out of battery. For the past two days, to recover from his injuries, he had been resting in bed. Even when he was up, he was either meditating or eating. He had only replied to a message from the capital on the first day and hadn't checked his phone since.
Seeing this, he exclaimed, "Not good!" and rushed to charge his phone, then contacted Luo Qinghan.
"Lin Xiao!"
As soon as Luo Qinghan answered the phone, her anxious voice came through, tinged with three parts blame and seven parts worry, "You finally called. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I just forgot to bring my charger, so I'm charging my phone now," Lin Xiao quickly replied. "Are you and Xun'er doing well these past few days? Have any strange people bothered you?"
"Don't worry, we're fine. Who would dare harass us? But I did as you said and didn't let Xun'er and Bingbing go to kindergarten these past few days, giving them sick leave." Hearing that Lin Xiao was alright, Luo Qinghan finally relaxed and changed her tone. "You're really something, how could you forget your charger? If there was an emergency, how could anyone reach you? Where are you? Are you with some beautiful young lady who has made you forget everything else?"
Hearing his wife's words, Lin Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes. Looking at the Taoist priest beside him, his eyes darted, and he said, "Indeed, there is a very special person with me. Do you want to see?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist priest next to him stared at Lin Xiao, and then the priest ran away in a flash.
Huh?
Lin Xiao blinked in confusion. What was going on?
"Oh? Then let me see." Luo Qinghan wouldn't refuse. She wanted to see who this special person Lin Xiao was talking about was.
Then she directly initiated a video call to Lin Xiao.
Before Lin Xiao could answer, the Old Heavenly Master appeared beside him, followed by the young Taoist priest who had just left.
He instinctively pressed the answer button.
"Who is this elderly gentleman?"
Luo Qinghan looked at Lin Xiao strangely. The elder beside Lin Xiao looked somewhat familiar to Luo Qinghan, but she couldn't quite place him, so she asked.
"This is the Old Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Sect, Zhang Tianshi. I am currently at the Heavenly Master Sect on Longhu Mountain," Lin Xiao quickly introduced.
The young Taoist priest then quickly left. He looked at Luo Qinghan in the video call and enthusiastically said, "Hello."
"Hello, Old Heavenly Master,"
Luo Qinghan quickly greeted. She had heard of this Old Heavenly Master and had seen him on television several times. Taoism was, after all, a native religion. With the decline of Taoist studies, sometimes television stations and self-media would help promote it, so she had some awareness.
"This is General Lin's wife. To make General Lin forget everything else in Shashi, she is indeed captivating!" the Old Heavenly Master praised.
