No.1 Bodyguard

Chapter 16 Wang Dao

In the past three years, from mercenaries to killers, Lin Xiaocao had killed many people. However, it was the first time for him to be responsible for destroying corpses after killing them.

From a killer to a bodyguard, his identity had changed. He was destined to not be as carefree as before. On the short mountain path down from Tiangong Manor, he already had countless methods to destroy the corpse. In the end, he still felt that the original method of burning the corpse to ashes with a bucket of gasoline was the most realistic one.

The night was hazy.

The night before the snow was wet and gloomy.

Driving in the warm car, Lin Xiaocao stared at the road ahead and whispered, "Why did you come out with me?"

"Ah?"

Lin Shuimo , who was obviously absent-minded, let out a simple syllable and blinked at the young bodyguard driving.

"It's too late for a young miss like you to hide from such a thing, right? Why did you come out with me? What do you think?"

Lin Xiaocao asked patiently.

"I think you will be afraid, so I'll accompany you."

Lin Shuimo replied obediently. Her tone was dazed. She probably didn't even know what she was talking about. Her mind, which was trapped in tradition and common customs, was constantly playing back the scene of Lin Xiaocao shattering the ceiling.

The wild, the domineering, the invincible, the arrogant and arrogant.

At that moment, even Lin Shuimo , who had never believed in love at first sight, felt his heart tremble.

It was the second time she had seen someone kill someone since she was a child.

Unlike the fear of seeing the white-clothed, golden-masked killer kill Lin Xiao for the first time, when the ceiling shattered and Lin Xiaocao completely crushed her heart, there was only a strong sense of security in Lin Shuimo 's heart in the bloody scene. It was blazing hot and warm, instantly devouring all of her soul.

It was as if as long as he was around, she would be fearless!

Lin Shuimo wasn't clear about her current state of mind. Perhaps it wasn't appropriate, but at least she didn't plan to change anything right now.

The corner of Lin Xiaocao 's mouth twitched. He smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't drive the conspicuous red Tesla. Instead, he drove a black Audi A6L from the garage. The Audi A6L set was something that could be used as a taxi in Nine Continents City. Even in the middle of the night, it was not uncommon. Audi A6L left the Heavenly Palace and drove along the road at a constant speed. It didn't attract the slightest bit of attention.

He didn't drive around randomly to find a suitable place to destroy the corpse. On the contrary, his route was exceptionally clear. The car turned like a spider web on the road in Nine Continents City, heading west, getting farther and farther away from the Heavenly Duke's Mansion behind him.

"Where are you going?"

Lin Shuimo finally regained his senses from his trance. He glanced at the surroundings and asked.

"In the western suburbs, there are no large buildings over there. There are only some useless factories. Pull the corpses over there and burn them down."

Lin Xiaocao's tone was calm. Lin Shuimo 's current mental state was quite abnormal. Lin Xiaocao even suspected that she didn't know what to do with him.

"Are you familiar with the capital?"

Lin Shuimo sounded a little surprised. The Nine Continents City was very big. Many people had lived here for half their lives, and they might not be able to understand every street and alley in the city. Lin Shuimo usually only moved within the range she was familiar with. Now, the route Lin Xiaocao took was becoming more and more unfamiliar to her.

"I saw the map yesterday."

Lin Xiaocao said lightly, "So if the map is correct, I should be very familiar with this place."

Lin Shuimo rolled his eyes charmingly. He lazily moved his body in the passenger seat and continued to stare at Lin Xiaocao 's side face.

Lin Shuimo , who had always thought that he was timid, was surprisingly not frightened. Her beautiful eyes flickered, bright and warm as she casually threw the corpse into Audi's trunk. The smell of blood gradually spread in the sealed carriage.

The Audi A6L walked for about an hour before finally stopping at an old factory on the western outskirts of Kyushu City.

"I'm going to deal with the corpses. You probably won't like watching these scenes. Wait for me here."

Lin Xiaocao parked the car and casually turned on the music in the car, intending to get off.

Lin Shuimo , who had completely regained his senses, had a slightly pale face. He bit his lips and hesitated in his eyes.

Lin Xiaocao ignored her. He got out of the car and opened the trunk. He pulled out the cold corpse from the trunk with one hand and took a small bucket of gasoline with the other. He strode towards a dark factory building.

Lin Shuimo , whose face was somewhat pale, subconsciously looked out of the window.

Lin Xiaocao 's back was still upright. His corpse was dragged behind him with one hand and slid along the ground. In the dazed darkness, Lin Shuimo suddenly felt that the corpse's eyes, which hadn't been closed until its death, were looking at her quietly.

Lin Shuimo 's body trembled as he pushed open the car door and rushed towards Lin Xiaocao .

Lin Xiaocao seemed to have sensed the movement behind her. She stopped. Although she did not turn around, she did not move.

Lin Shuimo 's face was pale. He trotted all the way to Lin Xiaocao. He subconsciously looked at the corpse and cried out in alarm. He ran to the other side of Lin Xiaocao and grabbed onto one of his arms. He gently panted.

Suddenly, the surroundings became exceptionally quiet.

The corpse didn't move, Lin Xiaocao didn't move, and in the dark environment, only Lin Shuimo was quietly panting.

An enormous uneasiness instantly arose from Lin Shuimo 's heart, and then it turned into fear.

She gently stretched out her hand and pushed Lin Xiaocao , saying in a trembling voice, "Let's go…"

Lin Xiaocao remained motionless and silent, like a statue holding a corpse.

All of Lin Shuimo 's hairs suddenly stood up and her body trembled violently. Everything in front of her made her almost suspect that she was in a dream. Under the tremendous fear, she even suspected that Lin Xiaocao was an imaginary figure.

"Hey, don't scare me…" she cried as her body trembled slightly.

Lin Xiaocao remained motionless.

But in the darkness, the corpse moved slightly.

Fear instantly spread throughout his body. Lin Shuimo opened his small mouth. Before he could scream, Lin Xiaocao 's calm voice with a trace of sadness and laughter had already sounded, "How dare you come out with me? You're so timid!"

He's scaring me!

Most of the fear mysteriously disappeared, but Lin Shuimo was excited by the grievances that suddenly surged into his heart and cried out, "I'm just a girl, Lin Xiaocao , you're going too far!"

"Oh, let's go in."

Lin Xiaocao 's sense of humor came and went quickly. She pulled the corpse and walked straight into the workshop.

Lin Shuimo pulled his arm, which was holding the gasoline bucket, and followed closely. He didn't know if it was because of the cold or because he was still in shock, but his body was still trembling slightly.

The two didn't go too far. After entering the factory, Lin Xiaocao casually threw the corpse on the ground. He took out his phone and took a picture of the surroundings. He picked up some things that were easy to ignite and put them on the corpse. Then, he poured gasoline and lit them with a lighter.

In the darkness, a spark flashed and instantly turned into flames, followed by flames.

The bright flames began to burn.

With a faint cracking sound, Lin Xiaocao casually took a seat and whispered, "We can go back when the fire is over."

This was the first time he had done this. He was unfamiliar with it, but fortunately, this kind of work didn't require much skill. In this kind of place, the corpse was ashen, and it was most likely an open case.

The flames flickered.

Under the light, Lin Xiaocao 's handsome face suddenly brightened and darkened. Lin Shuimo looked at him quietly. He suddenly realized that this young man's eyes did not have any fear or indifference. Instead, there was a trace of a light that could make him feel nostalgic and guilty.

Lin Shuimo 's heart softened for a moment. He quietly walked over and sat beside him. After hesitating for a moment, he closed his legs and leaned against Lin Xiaocao .

Darkness. Fire. Corpse.

Young men and women next to each other.

Beside him, Lin Shuimo unconsciously moved his body. His soft hair scratched across Lin Xiaocao 's face, itching.

Lin Xiaocao did not move, nor did he say anything. He just quietly looked at the flickering silent flames in front of him.

Because he was in a hurry, he could only pick up his coat. Lin Shuimo , who was wearing a pair of white kobolds and slippers, uneasily moved his toes. On his furry kobolds and slippers, his plastic eyes reflected darkness.

"Actually, you shouldn't have killed him."

Lin Shuimo suddenly said, his gentle voice ruining the strange warmth in front of him.

"Huh?"

Lin Xiaocao obviously didn't think about this, or rather, he didn't think about anything right now. He just casually let out a hum and was lazy.

"If you kill him, there is no room for compromise with the Lin family in the southwest."

Lin Shuimo put his hands around his knees and his head rested on Lin Xiaocao 's arm as he whispered.

"There's no room for compromise. Whether this person dies or not won't change the result of the Lin Clan killing me in the southwest, will it?"

Lin Xiaocao smiled casually. His tone was calm and gentle. "The Lin Clan in the southwest killed me, "It's for the sake of profit. Whether the person in front of us lives or dies won't change anything. He's only alive to make your family feel better. So, you were wrong. It's not that the Lin Family and I don't have room to compromise when this person dies. It should be said that the Lin Family and I don't have room to compromise. Even if we still have him, he will be much smaller than before."

"Are you helping Grandpa make a decision?"

Lin Shuimo suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaocao with burning eyes.

"I just want to change the Lin Clan's opinion of your clan in the southwest. Your grandfather should have revealed his attitude a long time ago. Right now, he is dragging his feet between the two giants of the royal clan and the southwest faction. He is hesitating and waiting for a price to be sold. If he hesitates for too long, then no matter what choice he makes, he will lose points and it will not be worth it."

Lin Xiaocao glanced at Lin Shuimo calmly and smiled, "Are you willing to marry to the Lin family in the southwest? Although Lin Xiao is dead, it's not difficult to find someone from Lin family to marry you, is it?"

Lin Shuimo snorted and rubbed his head against Lin Xiaocao 's shoulder again. He said lazily, "No, but they definitely won't let you go. You just came to Nine Continents City and don't understand how terrifying the Lin Family is in the southwest. If Lin Fengxue is determined to kill you, you won't be able to escape."

"Just kill as many as they come."

Lin Xiaocao said calmly. The crystal-clear dagger appeared in his palm again, shining with a charming luster under the light of the fire.

"Very beautiful saber."

Lin Shuimo 's eyes lit up as he stared at the blade in Lin Xiaocao 's hand. Counting in the current situation, she had seen this blade three times. The first two times, it would be stained with blood. But this time, it was different. Under the illumination of the fire, it was like a pure and transparent work of art.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch it, but halfway through, she retracted it and smiled embarrassedly, "Does it have a name?"

"Hongyan."

Lin Xiaocao hesitated for a moment and said indifferently, "My Great Master named it. However, I prefer its former name, Amber."

"Amber?"

Lin Shuimo blinked his eyes with a puzzled expression.

"About twenty years ago, amber was still a sword. That sword symbolized courage without fear. I always thought that was the most suitable sword for me. Unfortunately, amber broke into three pieces in my second master's hand and finally turned into three daggers. Hongyan was one of them, and the other was called time in my sister's hand."

Lin Xiaocao 's tone was filled with undisguised regret and regret. His voice was soft as if he was muttering to himself.

Lin Shuimo opened her mouth. The woman's natural curiosity made her subconsciously want to ask the name of the third dagger. However, when she heard Lin Xiaocao 's words, she continued, "Why did the amber break into three parts?"

Lin Xiaocao 's expression instantly became complicated. He remained silent for two minutes before calmly saying, "Because of some grudges and obsessions that can't be said to be right or wrong."

He had long since been unable to tell the origin of that incident. He only vaguely knew that back then, there was an old man who had amazed the entire era. He had twice lost to his second master, Ye Chunqiu .

For the first time, for the sake of justice, Second Master crippled his legs and drove him out of the empire.

The second time, the old man with recovered legs personally went to Mount Kunlun to challenge Second Master once again.

That time, he lost again. That was also the last time he had failed in his life.

Less than a week later, a crazy man held a frenzy and went up the Kunlun Mountains for the third time.

In that battle, more than half of the Heavenly Court, which had once been a gorgeous palace, collapsed. The famous sword, Amber, was cut into three pieces by Second Master. The Great Master and Second Master attacked together, but in the end, they were defeated by a single person's sword.

Second Master Ye Chunqiu even swore an oath that he would never leave Kunlun for the rest of his life!

The one who personally defeated his two masters was the current emperor of the northern royal family.

The old man who died in the Kunlun Mountains was the most important pioneer of the northern royal family. The emperor's second grandfather was also one of the few old men Lin Xiaocao respected or even feared.

It was the paranoid old man who made Lin Xiaocao understand that sometimes, even if he failed, he would still be great.

Lin Xiaocao sighed softly, then turned his head and was stunned.

Because Lin Shuimo was still staring at him with an undisguised thirst for knowledge in his puzzled expression.

"Because of an old man who failed twice. I don't want to say that he failed. It's a tribute to him."

Lin Xiaocao said softly. This time, his answer was exceptionally serious.

"You don't like to fail."

Lin Shuimo looked at Lin Xiaocao and said, not a question, but a positive one.

Lin Xiaocao hesitated for a moment and nodded, "No one likes to fail, even if he is great."

"Have you never failed?"

Lin Shuimo asked coldly.

Lin Xiaocao 's body suddenly stiffened. After a while, he said indifferently, "Yes, twice."

"When did this happen?"
