Nie Weiwei said: "The grandfather Rourou mentioned was my master. He thought Rourou was pitiful, so he brought her back."

"Rourou has been staying at my place these past few months. Don't worry. I have always treated her as my sister and I have never let her be wronged."

Lin Dongjiu hugged Nie Weiwei and said sincerely:

"Then I really want to thank Miss Nie and Miss Nie's master. Since Rourou went missing, I have been looking for Rourou's whereabouts, but I haven't found any clues. Now that I see that she is safe and sound, my hanging heart is relieved.

I can finally let it go.”

Nie Weiwei waved her hands hurriedly: "No need to thank me, I like Rourou very much, and I am happy for you that you and Rourou can be reunited."

Lin Dongjiu's favorable impression of Nie Weiwei increased, and he said, "Where is your master? I want to thank him in person."

"I don't know where the master is now. He appears and disappears all day long. It's even hard for me to see my master sometimes." Nie Weiwei spread her hands.

After talking to the little girl Nie Weiwei for a while, Lin Dongjiu took a closer look at the room he was in.

The room was small and very clean. There were two oil lamps on the table and some flowers on the windowsill.

My consciousness looked outside, and there was a small yard outside. There were some flowers and plants planted in the open space, and it was neatly planned.

He also saw the Great Sage squatting at the gate, looking around from time to time, as if he was standing guard.

Lin Dongjiu liked this place very much. Although it was not big, it was very cozy.

He chatted with Nie Weiwei and said, "Miss Nie, I just heard Rourou call you Sister Dongdong. Is this your nickname?"

Nie Weiwei smiled and said: "My original name was Nie Dongdong. Later, my master changed my name. Rourou may have heard my master call me Dongdong, so she called me that."

"Brother Lin, if you don't mind, you can call me Weiwei or Dongdong." Nie Weiwei added.

Lin Dongjiu nodded. Although he was wondering whether he had heard the name Dongdong before, he didn't care because there were so many things going on.

Lin Dongjiu frowned and asked: "By the way, Weiwei, what did you tell the fat man from the Sanxiu League today to return my things? What did he take from you?"

Nie Weiwei lowered her head, and after a while she whispered: "Yes... they are some things I usually steal, and... the magic weapons you gave me."

"oh?"

After hearing this, Lin Dongjiu subconsciously felt that something was wrong. He recalled what Die Huanyi said to him and couldn't help but ask:

"Those magic weapons are worth a lot of money. Why did you give them to that fat man? Did you make any deal with him? Or..."

Nie Weiwei raised her head, her eye circles a little red:

"I'm sorry, Brother Lin... I was deceived by that fat man, and he also deceived the magic weapons you gave me, but I will definitely find a way to pay you back in the future..."

Lin Dongjiu's heart was pounding, but he comforted him first:

"What are you paying back? I said I gave it to you, so how could I ask you to pay it back? Well, just be more open-minded and treat it as a lesson. Be more careful when dealing with others in the future."

Nie Weiwei bit her lip and said, "I understand, Brother Lin..."

"I have one more thing to ask you."

Lin Dongjiu suppressed his smile and returned to normal: "The palace talisman was stolen, was it you who did it?"

Nie Weiwei stood up immediately and said in a panic: "Brother Lin, you..."

Lin Dongjiu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom when he saw this, and he asked again: "Did you really steal that military talisman?"

Nie Weiwei lowered her head and said "hmm" in a low voice:

"Brother Lin, do you want that military talisman?"

Lin Dong Jiuqiang forced out a smile and said: "Is that soldier talisman still in your hand?"

Nie Weiwei fell silent, Lin Dongjiu's heart skipped a beat, and secretly said "It's over" for the first time. The thing he least expected to see happened.

He grabbed Nie Weiwei's shoulders and his voice became louder uncontrollably:

"Hey, my little aunt, you couldn't have been tricked by that fat man into taking away the military talisman and those treasures, right?

Do you know that he is from the Demon Palace? Do you know that everything you do is being used by others?

Even if you trade military talismans with them, they will not help you avenge you, and may even kill you!"

"Brother Lin, why do you know these things..."

Nie Weiwei looked at Lin Dongjiu aggrievedly like a little daughter-in-law who had done something wrong.

"Brother, don't you want sister Ji Dongdong!"

The little girl ran over and grabbed Lin Dongjiu's arm. She had a stubborn face and pouted angrily.

"No, no, I don't have sister Xi Dongdong."

Lin Dongjiu let go of Nie Weiwei. He touched the little girl's head and said to Nie Weiwei:

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper a little."

He did not tell Nie Weiwei that once the soldier talisman was taken away by Qiu Qianbian, he could not predict what would happen, and it might even completely disrupt his next plan, leading to a complete collapse of the previous layout, with disastrous consequences.

But the accident had happened, and Lin Dongjiu knew that it was useless to complain, so he could only sit on the bed and try to calm down.

After a moment of pause, Lin Dongjiu was confused about something again and asked:

"Miss Nie, tell me, you probably stole the military talisman during the alchemy competition. Then when did you give the military talisman to the fat man?"

"I did steal the military talisman at that time, but it was yesterday that I handed the military talisman to Cao Yuan."

Nie Weiwei finally spoke and explained:

"Cao Yuan asked me to steal the military talisman a long time ago, but after I stole the military talisman, my master refused to let me give the military talisman to Cao Yuan, and even found a place in the Burial Dragon Mountains for me to go into seclusion.

My master had never cared about my affairs before, but that time he specifically told me not to act rashly before my fate arrived.

My master is very good at divination. I guessed that my master might have calculated something, so I have been in retreat in Dragon Burial Mountain Range.

But after I came out of seclusion, Cao Yuan used some means to find me directly. He said that if I could give him the military talisman, he would return all the treasures I had traded to him before.

At that time, I wanted to get back the treasure that Brother Lin gave me, so...so I gave him the military talisman."

Nie Weiwei said in a depressed mood:

"But I didn't expect that after I handed him the weapon talisman, he would actually turn his back on me. Not only would he not return my treasure, but he would also kill me. Fortunately, I had an escape weapon given to me by my master, so I escaped.

Today I went to the Sanxiu League just to steal the military symbols and those treasures back from Cao Yuan, so I hid in the Suo Ling Pagoda and wanted to wait until night to do it, but I didn't expect to be discovered. In the end, it was Brother Lin who saved me.

..."

"So that's it..."

Lin Dongjiu sighed and patiently explained:

"Now that the matter is over, Miss Nie, don't think too much about it. Don't have anything to do with those guys from the Loose Cultivator Alliance in the future. They are all demon disciples of the Demon Palace, and they eat people without spitting out their bones.

And why I know so much, you don’t have to delve into it. Anyway, you will understand it in a short time. Telling you now will only increase your worries.

In short, you don’t need to do anything anymore, I will avenge you, as long as you believe in me.”

"I believe in Brother Lin's..." Nie Weiwei nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling.

Lin Dongjiu sighed lightly, stood up and said:

"Rourou, let's go, I'll take you home."

Nie Weiwei wiped her eyes and hurriedly said:

"It's so late, why don't we leave at dawn tomorrow? Besides, Brother Lin, your injuries..."

Lin Dongjiu shook his head: "I can't stay any longer. I will bring Rourou over to see you when I have time."

At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the door:

"Where did the monkey come from? Go, go, go..."

"My master is back."

Nie Weiwei glanced outside the door.

Lin Dongjiu frowned, feeling that the voice sounded familiar.

"What's wrong? You stinky monkey, you still want to fight me, the old Taoist?"

Lin Dongjiu and Nie Weiwei heard this and quickly left the room together.

After leaving the room, Lin Dongjiu saw a wretched-looking old Taoist holding a walking stick and gesticulating with the hairy Monkey King. He looked as if he was about to have a fight with the Monkey King at any moment.

"Great Sage, don't mess around!"

After the Great Sage heard Lin Dongjiu's voice, he glared at the old Taoist provocatively, then patted the monkey's butt and returned to Lin Dongjiu's side.

The little girl ran over and called out sweetly: "Grandpa!"

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, Rourou has grown taller again! Come, grandpa will give you some candy!"

The old Taoist had a doting look on his face and took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and handed them to the little girl.

The little girl took the candy and smiled happily: "Thank you, grandpa!"

The old Taoist touched the little girl's head, then looked towards Lin Dongjiu and Nie Weiwei, he grinned:

"Dongdong brought the man home. You see, the master came back at the wrong time."
