Chapter 148 Compromise
Lin Xiu's appearance caught everyone by surprise, even Gu Ming didn't expect that it would be Lin Xiu who would appear here.
"Master Lin, why are you here?" It was Qian Jianghe who spoke. It can be seen that the Sword Master also has a very high status in the Beidou headquarters. Even if Qian Jianghe is an investigator at the headquarters, he has to be cautious when facing Lin Xiu.
"If I don't show up again, are you still going to torture me into confessing?" Lin Xiu asked sternly.
"Master Lin, this is an internal matter of the Yuheng Department. Even if you are a Sword Master, you have no right to ask." Qian Jianghe said, but looking at his expression, it is clear that he tried hard to be brave before he dared to say it.
"I know what you did in the Yuheng Department. Gu Ming is the night watchman of Tianxuan. You should know this." Lin Xiu said, "I can be a guarantor for Gu Ming to prove that he has nothing to do with the Black Alliance. This matter ends here. You can write the report yourself. How about it?"
The people in the Yuheng Department looked at each other. No one dared to answer for a while. Qian Jianghe glanced at Cai Xingzhi. The latter's eyes seemed to say that Gu Ming must not be let go. Otherwise, if Gu Ming wanted to retaliate against them, who could bear the anger of such a young extraordinary strongman.
Qian Jianghe was also weighing the pros and cons. The person above clearly said that Gu Ming must not be kept, but Lin Xiu had already intervened in the current situation, and his attitude was very strong. They could not do anything bad to Gu Ming under Lin Xiu's protection, especially there could be no direct conflict.
So, after thinking about it, Qian Jianghe said: "Master Lin, since you have come forward to guarantee, there is naturally no problem on my side, but Gu Ming must go back to the headquarters with me."
"What's the reason?"
"You also know that our Yuheng Department is very cautious about cases involving Tianxuan Night Watchmen, especially young geniuses like Gu Ming. Going back to the headquarters is also to let the leaders above bear witness, so as to give an explanation to the outside world. After all, Gu Ming has received a lot of attention now. If things continue to ferment, it will not be a good thing for him."
Unexpectedly, it was clearly a far-fetched reason. Lin Xiu actually nodded in agreement and asked: "When are we leaving?"
Qian Jianghe hurriedly said: "There is no time to lose, it is best to leave today."
"Okay." Lin Xiu said, "It's always good to settle this matter early, but I have to stay in Yushan to deal with the aftermath during this period, so I can't go with you. You should pay more attention to safety on the road."
Qian Jianghe thought, I am leaving so quickly because you are busy. When we return to the headquarters, how can you convict us?
Jia Ren and Jia Yi were also very smart. They understood Qian Jianghe's plan. Jia Yi even thought he was smart enough not to record Lin Xiu's appearance. He just wrote that Gu Ming was stubborn and refused to explain the problem. So Qian Jianghe decided to take him back to the headquarters for investigation.
Gu Ming was also a little confused. He didn't understand what Lin Xiu was up to. When Lin Xiu first appeared, he felt that he was here to help him, but now he agreed to be taken back to the headquarters. Could it be that Lin Xiu didn't understand that there would be no room for return after returning to the headquarters?
"Okay." Qian Jianghe quickly said, "Jia Ren, go and make arrangements and complete the relevant procedures. We will leave after twelve o'clock."
"Yes!" Jia Ren said, turned around and went out.
At this time, Lin Xiu said, "That's it. You guys go and get busy first. I'll talk to Gu Ming."
Qian Jianghe was stunned for a moment. His intuition told him that there was a problem, but when he thought that he could leave in more than two hours, and Lin Xiu had already agreed, it was impossible for him to regret it immediately, he didn't say much and left the interrogation room with Cai Xingzhi and Jia Yi.
Thus, Gu Ming had the first opportunity to be alone with the Sword Master of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, Lin Xiu was the third powerful person in the Enlightenment Realm that he had met, the first two being Wang Shou and Afu.
However, Gu Ming's intuition told him that the man with a face like a knife was stronger than Wang Shou and Afu. Gu Ming could feel a pricking sensation just by looking at his back.
Lin Xiu slowly turned around and looked directly at Gu Ming. His piercing eyes made Gu Ming feel as if two sharp blades were attacking him, piercing his eyes.
Then, an extremely strong pressure enveloped Gu Ming. Before Gu Ming could react to why Lin Xiu suddenly attacked, he felt a force like a mountain pressing down on him.
Gu Ming subconsciously activated the Dharmakaya of Acala, and golden streams of light gathered around his body to resist the pressure from Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu's eyes were slightly surprised, but he immediately increased his output. Just now, even if Cai Xingzhi and Qian Jianghe attacked together, Gu Ming did not feel any pressure, but now under Lin Xiu's pressure, Gu Ming felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.
Even with the protection of the Acala Dharmakaya, he still felt a huge force trying to crush him to the ground, and his legs subconsciously wanted to bend.
The air in the room was distorted by Lin Xiu's pressure, like layers of waves falling from top to bottom on Gu Ming's Dharmakaya. The Acala Dharmakaya, which was originally indestructible and invulnerable, began to deform under Lin Xiu's power.
The Dharmakaya was compressed little by little, from the original height of more than two meters to Gu Ming's scalp, and Gu Ming's eyes were already bloodshot, and his bones were creaking all over his body. Obviously, he was under terrible pressure. Cold sweat slid down his cheeks like beans, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat.
Lin Xiu looked at Gu Ming's stubborn resistance and seemed to be interested. He continued to increase the output. Suddenly, the ground under Gu Ming's feet sank, cracks spread out, and the whole room trembled.
Seeing that he was about to be crushed, Gu Ming also realized that although he had entered the extraordinary realm, he was still far behind the strong men in the realm of enlightenment. Now he didn't resist anymore. It was not enough to rely on the Dharma body of Acala. So he closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, it seemed that two sword lights shot out from his pupils.
The sound of sword chanting was endless, and Yi Xijian made a move in an instant, drawing a half-moon sword energy from bottom to top.
"Draw the sword to cut the sky!"
The magic energy came out in all directions, and the sword energy penetrated the Dharma body of Acala and slashed directly into the sky. The layers of power ripples like waves were cut off by the sword energy.
Lin Xiu finally showed a look of obvious surprise. He slashed with his right hand in the air, and a flash of knife shattered Gu Ming's sword energy. At the same time, Lin Xiu used both hands to shoot out knife lights, blocking all the spreading aftermath. The power that could have destroyed the entire building was cut down by him.
"Asshole, do you want to tear this place down?"
The pressure suddenly disappeared. Facing Lin Xiu's questioning, Gu Ming thought to himself that you forced me to do this.
"Master Lin is too powerful. If I don't go all out, I'm afraid I'll suffer a great loss." Gu Ming put away the Yixi Sword and said. He found that Lin Xiu's eyes had never left since the Yixi Sword appeared, but it was strange that there was no greed in his eyes, but a little bit of nostalgia and respect?
