Chapter 280: Recognizing the princes of three countries as sworn brothers
"Prince Shangguan, I thought you had left!"
Lin Xi looked at Shangguan Yu who was standing on the top of the cliff waiting for them and said with a smile.
"Don't be in a hurry right now. If I leave, I should say hello to you first, right?"
Shangguan Yu chuckled.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Zhou and the other two had also come up, Shangguan Yu approached Ouyang Jing and Nangong Qing, sniffed the air deeply, and asked them, "Do you smell anything?"
Ouyang Jing and Nangong Qing shrugged their noses, sniffed it, and replied in unison: "There is no smell!"
"Hey! Don't you smell the scent of freedom? I finally escaped and regained my freedom, hahahaha!"
Shangguan Yu stretched out his arms and suddenly laughed heartily towards the sky.
Seeing this, Ouyang Jing and Nangong Qing also showed relieved smiles on their faces. They finally escaped!
"Uncle Zhou, I'll wait here. Go back and call for someone to take the people in the cave away!"
Lin Xi walked up to Shopkeeper Zhou and said with a smile.
"Lin Xi, are you okay staying here alone? What if they or other companions come back and find you? It's too dangerous. Let's go back together!"
Shopkeeper Zhou was a little worried about leaving Lin Xi here alone. He thought Shangguan Yu and the other two would definitely be eager to leave, so he said this.
"Hey, hey, hey! Brother Zhou, aren't we three human beings? Although our bodies are still a little weak, our internal strength has been fully restored. It won't be a problem for us to deal with a few men in black. If someone comes, we really can't beat them, but we can't escape either!"
"That's right, Brother Zhou, don't worry, we will hide in the woods nearby with Brother Lin, and we won't be easily discovered."
"Brother Lin is so skilled, and with the three of us, they won't be in danger. Brother Zhou, don't waste time, go and come back quickly!"
Seeing that Shangguan Yu and the other two had expressed that they would stay here with Lin Xi, Manager Zhou felt relieved and stopped talking nonsense. After identifying the direction, he used his lightness skills to fly quickly into the distance.
After Manager Zhou left, Shangguan Yu came up to Lin Xi and stared at her with sparkling eyes.
Lin Xi touched his face and asked in confusion: "Prince Shangguan, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"
After saying that, seeing Ouyang Jing and Nangong Qing also looking at him with different eyes, Lin Xi shuddered and continued, "Don't look at me like that, it makes me feel creepy. If you have something to say, just tell me!"
Shangguan Yu and the other two looked at each other after hearing this, and Shangguan Yu asked, "Are you a girl?"
Hearing his words, Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that Uncle Zhou had called her "Lin Xi girl" out of concern.
"Wait here for a moment!"
Lin Xi did not answer Shangguan Yu's question. After leaving this sentence, he flashed into the woods nearby and disappeared.
When she appeared in front of the three people again, she had returned to her original appearance.
"Wow! You really are a girl. Is your last name Lin?"
Shangguan Yu came up to Lin Xi and looked at her in amazement.
Seeing that he was almost close to Lin Xi's face, Ouyang Jing pulled him back and scolded: "What are you doing? You are so ignorant of etiquette. Stay away from the girl!"
Nangong Qing looked at Lin Xi with sparkling eyes and said with a smile: "Girl, I think you are only about twelve or thirteen years old. Since you saved me, we are destined to be together. How about I take you as my sister?"
Before Lin Xi could answer, Shangguan Yu and Ouyang Jing came over and agreed, saying that Nangong Qing's idea was good.
Seeing the sincerity in the eyes of the three people, Lin Xi patted the ground and said with a smile: "Let's sit down and talk!"
Seeing Shangguan Yu and the other two sitting cross-legged in front of her, Lin Xi deliberately said, "I am just a little hunting girl from a nearby mountain village. The three of you are all princes of a country. With my status, how can I be your adopted sister?"
"Identity is nothing but a passing cloud. You are so capable, it is my blessing to recognize you as my sister, okay?"
"Yes, you are much better than those noble ladies. I wish I had a sister like you!"
"As long as you don't dislike us!"
Shangguan Yu and the other two rushed to express their feelings to Lin Xi.
Seeing this, Lin Xi stopped being fussy. She thought it would not be a bad thing to establish a good relationship with the princes of the other three kingdoms. Who knows, she might be able to use them someday!
As long as they were sincere, she would treat them as true friends.
As for treating them as brothers, that depends on how she gets along with the three of them in the future. It is impossible for her to develop a brotherly and sisterly relationship with them now. She is a slow-to-warm-up person, so how can she really treat them as brothers after meeting them this time? Presumably, the three of them have their own plans for recognizing her as their sisters.
After thinking about it, she cupped her fists towards the three of them and said with a smile: "So, from today on, Lin Xi will have three more brothers!"
Seeing that Lin Xi agreed and called them brother, Shangguan Yu and the other two smiled so hard that their teeth were showing.
They kept praising Lin Xi for his nice name, and also praised Lin Xi for not only his martial arts skills but also his good looks. They really found a treasure!
"By the way, I'm eighteen years old, so I should be the eldest brother, right?"
Shangguan Yu laughed for a while and then suddenly said.
"I am seventeen years old."
Nangong Qing interjected.
"I am sixteen years old. In this case, Brother Shangguan, you are the eldest brother, Brother Nangong, you are the second brother, and I am Lin Xi's third brother!"
Ouyang Jing said cheerfully.
After saying that, he looked at Lin Xi a little embarrassedly and said, "Little sister, as your brother, I should have prepared a gift for you, but you prepared all the clothes and money for us brothers, so I have nothing to give you. When I return to Liang Country, I will send someone to send you some treasures to make up for this gift."
Shangguan Yu and Nangong Qing felt a little embarrassed when they heard this, and said that they would have their subordinates send a gift to Lin Xi after they returned.
Lin Xi took out three bottles of pills from her bosom and handed them to Shangguan Yu and the other two, saying with a smile: "Big brother, second brother, third brother, you haven't been back to China for two years. You don't know what the situation will be like after you go back. Don't rush to send me anything. Go back and settle down first. This pill is a gift from my younger sister to the three brothers. Take one pill a day. It will be good for your health!"
Shangguan Yu and the other two took the porcelain bottle handed over by Lin Xi, opened the stopper and looked into the bottle curiously, and saw pills the size of green beans inside.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, you guys take a pill now and take a rest. I'll go get some food!"
After Lin Xi finished speaking, he flashed away into the distance!
