Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 360 Sworn Brother, Sworn Son?

Half an hour later.

Jingtian woke up slowly. Xu Lin had just finished eating, and Jing's mother was tidying up the room.

"Sweetie, you're finally awake!"

What just happened?

Jing's mother asked urgently.

She walked quickly to Jingtian and sat down next to her.

Xu Lin leaned against the bamboo window and began to close his eyes to rest.

Jingtian was indeed quite good, which was an unexpected bonus of this trip.

Jingtian struggled to sit up and truthfully recounted what had happened to her mother.

After Jing's mother left, people from brothels came. Jing's father regretted it and first groveled, trying to exchange the house deed for the property.

But the other party just wouldn't agree.

Jing's father eventually had no choice but to resort to force. So he picked up the straight-shafted plow he usually used for plowing the fields and declared that he would have to step over him first.

Jing's father's death was more like an accident, because he hadn't eaten enough for many days and already had some illnesses.

After witnessing Jing's father's death, the other party was somewhat bewildered.

Their mission was to take Jingtian away, but why did Jingtian's father suddenly die?

But now that we're here, we have to complete our mission.

So they went to find Jingtian, who then threatened to kill herself.

Therefore, most of Jingtian's injuries were caused by herself.

Fearing that Jing Tian might commit suicide, the other party had no choice but to give up temporarily and come back another day.

Jing's father is already dead. If we drive Jing Tian to her death, how will we explain it when we go back?

After listening, Jing's mother sighed helplessly.

It's all because of this chaotic world!

If it weren't for this chaotic world, how could things have come to this?

"Mother, who is he?"

Jing Tian caught a glimpse of Xu Lin out of the corner of her eye and asked curiously.

"Our savior."

Jingmu replied.

Then he told his daughter about Xu Lin's rescue.

She explained in great detail, including how Xu Lin examined her injuries on his own.

"what?"

Jingtian frowned and blushed slightly after hearing this.

But she chose to treat Xu Lin as a doctor.

Since things have come to this point, what other way can we think about it?

Then, Jing Tian looked at Xu Lin, bowed slightly, and expressed her gratitude.

Xu Lin waved his sleeve, indicating that it was no trouble at all.

"Madam, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."

Xu Lin spoke.

For some reason, he has recently become increasingly fond of using retreat as a means of advancement.

Now that Jing's father is dead, Jing and her mother are all alone and helpless. How could they not grasp at Xu Lin as their lifeline?

"Please wait a moment, sir."

"I have a request."

Jingmu lightly bit her thin lips.

She wanted to entrust her daughter to Xu Lin.

It wasn't that she wanted Xu Lin to marry her daughter, but rather that she hoped Xu Lin could look after her.

"Please speak freely, Madam."

Xu Lin nodded.

He acts like a gentleman and speaks in a gentle, pleasant way; what woman wouldn't like that?

“Tian’er is still young, and her father has passed away. The area has been unstable in recent years.”

"Therefore, I would like to make Tian'er your sworn sister, sir. Is that alright?"

Jing's mother asked while thinking.

"can."

"But I wonder what your daughter thinks?"

Xu Lin readily agreed.

He could even accept a willful and capricious woman like Honglian, let alone a dignified and gentle woman like Jingtian?

Jingtian was obedient from a young age, and since her mother really needed someone to take care of her, Jingtian nodded slightly in agreement.

And so, Xu Lin became Jing Tian's sworn brother.

"It's getting late, I have to go."

"Just as my adoptive mother said, it is not advisable to stay in Daidi for long."

"Alright, I'll send someone to pick you up and take you to Qin tomorrow morning."

Seeing the setting sun like blood, Xu Lin said solemnly.

If he doesn't go back soon, Zhao Ji will probably get anxious.

"Enter Qin?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Jing's mother's beautiful eyes.

She guessed that Xu Lin was not from Zhao, but she did not expect that Xu Lin was actually from Qin.

Jingtian didn't care about this. Whether they were Qin people or Zhao people, weren't they all Zhou people hundreds of years ago? Why make such a distinction?

When she and her mother were on the verge of death, did any people from Zhao lend a helping hand?

"it is good."

"Brother, get some rest."

Jing Dessert.

Then she stood up, supporting herself on the soft couch. She wanted to see Xu Lin off, but Xu Lin refused.

Jingtian has difficulty walking now, how can she take Xu Lin?

After Xu Lin disappeared from sight, Jing Tian closed the wooden door and bolted it.

"You few secretly protect them, mother and daughter, and prepare a carriage to bring them to Qin early tomorrow morning."

"After arriving in Xianyang, find them a house near my residence."

Xu Lin gave the order in a deep voice.

Before he finished speaking, he took out a bag of money from his pocket.

The assassins from Luo Wang waved their hands repeatedly, indicating that they didn't need to pay; it was what they should do.

Xu Lin then said, "It is true that we should do it, but you should also collect the money. The carriage is free."

Buying a house is free?

The assassins from Luo Wang couldn't refuse Xu Lin's request and had no choice but to accept it.

After bathing and changing, Jing's mother tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

"Sweetie, are you asleep?"

Jing's mother asked in a low voice.

Jing's father's sudden death made her feel very insecure.

Although Xu Lin became her adopted son, she always felt that Xu Lin was hiding something from them.

You can know a person's face but not their heart; who knows whether Xu Lin is good or bad?

"not yet."

Jingtian shook her head.

She didn't care; she figured she might as well make the best of it.

Born into a chaotic era, did she have a choice?

"Tian'er, tell me, is your sworn brother, Zhengchun, a good person?"

Jing's mother turned her body to the side.

After eating two hearty meals in a row, her complexion improved considerably.

But due to a sudden change in her family situation, she felt completely drained.

"It should be."

Jingtian replied.

She barely spoke to Xu Lin, so how could she possibly tell whether Xu Lin was a good person or not?

However, it can be confirmed that Xu Lin is not a lustful person.

With her and her mother's beauty, they were among the most outstanding in the Dai region, and even in the Zhao state.

Xu Lin didn't give them much of a look, which suggests that he was either not lustful or a person who could endure.

No, there's another possibility: Xu Lin, like Lord Longyang of Wei, was interested in men.

Upon realizing this, Jingtian couldn't help but chuckle.

She knew she shouldn't think this way about her savior, Xu Lin, but she just couldn't help it.

Then she told her mother what she was thinking.

After hearing this, the mother almost burst out laughing.

"Stop laughing."

"No matter what, he's still our savior!"

After a few breaths, Jing's mother looked serious.

Xu Lin saved their lives, and instead of repaying him, they're laughing at him. Are they even human?

"Whether he is good or bad."

"If it weren't for him, you and I would probably be dead by now."

"Therefore, remember to repay kindness."

Jing's mother solemnly gave him her instructions.

Although she was a woman, she was still grateful and reciprocated kindness.

"Yes."

Jingtian immediately agreed.

……

The next day.

As dawn broke, Xu Lin got up.

At Xu Lin's current level of cultivation, whether or not he sleeps is no longer important.

After tucking Zhao Ji in, he went to Jing's residence.

It wasn't that he didn't trust the assassins from Luo Wang, but as his sworn brother and adopted son, he felt it was his duty to appear at this time.

Because it was unknown how many years it would be before she returned from Qin, Jing's mother brought countless things with her, wishing she could move the entire family to Qin.

Jingtian said that the carriage simply couldn't fit everyone, but her mother said it was possible, and if all else failed, she could go with the carriage.

Jingtian felt quite helpless about this.

Seeing that Jingmu had more and more belongings, the assassins from Luowang had no choice but to have someone find another carriage.

Just as she was about to advise Jing's mother that she didn't need to bring so much stuff, Xu Lin appeared.

"Grand Tutor".

The female assassin from Luo Wang bowed respectfully.

"There's no need for that."

"They don't know my real identity yet. Find an opportunity to tell them on the way to Xianyang."

Xu Lin spoke.

"promise!"

The female assassin from the Luo Wang organization immediately accepted the order. (End of Chapter)
