I'm really not an old sword

"What? You don't recognize me? We met in Weber's office."

"It is you."

Gray whispered with relief, then turned to look at Linglongguan Misaya with some confusion.

She thought she had seen it wrong, after all, she had only met him once, and he was Miss Linglong's boyfriend. But now the fact is that she was not mistaken, and Miss Linglong...

Lin Qingsu followed her gaze and looked over. Linglong Pavilion's Misaya was standing on the edge of the rooftop with her arms folded, looking at him. Lin Qingsu sighed and said as she walked over, "What on earth are you posting..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Qingsu saw the corners of her mouth suddenly curl up slightly.

It wasn't the joy of reunion, but more like the cunning of a successful plot.

Lin Qingsu was stunned. Before she could think about it, she heard a sound of breaking air suddenly coming from the distance. She subconsciously raised her sword to block it.

'Bah! '

Looking at Modredlin who appeared in front of him, Qingsu suddenly felt a little tired.

"I want to live."

Linglongguan Misaya said: "Don't cut him, give him a good beating."

Mordred couldn't understand Linglongguan Misaya's strange orders.

He glanced at Lin Qingsu, feeling somewhat puzzled by this reckless guy who had followed him despite having spared his life. However, he always followed the principle of fighting when he couldn't figure something out, so he immediately gave up thinking and raised his sword.

"okay."

"Are you here, auntie?"

After hearing this, Lin Qingsu understood that Misaya was not cursed and recognized him, but she didn't know why she wanted to beat him up.

But before he could think about it, Modred rushed over and Lin Qingsu could only raise his sword to block.

"Hey, wait a minute, Mr. Lin Qingsu is not an enemy!"

After staring blankly for a while, Gray suddenly came to her senses and shouted softly in confusion.

When Mordred heard the name 'Lin Qingsu', his body trembled and he stopped almost instantly, looking at Lin Qingsu in surprise and suspicion.

"what's your name?"

"I'm your fucking father!" Lin Qingsu said unhappily.

Originally, he was just speaking in anger, but when he saw that Mordred was not angry but instead had a horrified expression as if he had seen a ghost, Lin Qingsu's heart skipped a beat.

He knows I'm his father, so...

Lin Qingsu suddenly understood why Linglong Pavilion's Misaya was playing a prank on her. She quickly looked at Misaya and saw her lips parted with a cruel smile: "Mordred, are you not going to listen to me?"

"But, stepmother..."

"Hmm?" asked Misaya from Linglong Pavilion.

Mordred stopped hesitating after hearing this.

Since I've already offended him once, it doesn't make any difference if I offend him a few more times.

Given my biological father’s temper, he would definitely punish me, but my stepmother is here.

It seems that the stepmother is on top of the two of them.

Although I don't know what they are quarreling about, but since I am caught in the middle and have offended my biological father inexplicably, I might as well go all the way and listen to my stepmother. Anyway, I have my stepmother to block it when the sky falls, so I don't have to be afraid.

Mordred couldn't help but get excited. There weren't many opportunities to beat his own father openly.

This is not a stepmother, this is my biological mother!

Lin Qingsu also figured it out at this time.

Misaya knew her nickname of 'Old Sword', but although she looked very angry, judging from what she had just ordered, it seemed that she just wanted to beat him up and didn't really want to hurt him, which meant that she still wanted to live with him and was just a little angry at the moment.

"never mind,"

Originally, Lin Qingsu felt guilty for hiding from her the fact that he was Arthur and her mother.

I was worried that she would become depressed and start making a scene, thinking that only one of them could survive with me, and I didn't know how to face her. Now that beating her can help Misaya calm down, I'll just beat her.

However, she was still spoiling Misaya. Seeing Modred getting more and more excited as the fight went on, Lin Qingsu silently remembered this grudge.

You unfilial son, just wait for me!

......

Not long after the fight, Artoria and her companions rushed back.

After explaining everything to them clearly through voice transmission, the three of them realized that it was just a misunderstanding and stopped fighting. Seeing this, Linglongguan Misaye didn't let Mordred continue fighting. After a group of people gathered on the rooftop, they came to Holmes' house under the leadership of Weber.

——There are still a few vacant rooms in the apartment, and they can rent them.

A group of people gathered in the living room. Except for the rebellious son squatting in the corner, everyone else was fine.

As for him, it was because when Artoria and Brunhilde returned, Lin Qingsu deliberately kicked him, mainly to make Misaya completely calm down, and secondarily...

Looking at the look in Artoria and Brunhilde's eyes that almost wanted to kill the rebellious son, Lin Qingsu suddenly felt that the pain in her waist was not so severe.

After discussing the important matters with Weber and Misaya, the group found a room to rest.

The apartment rented to them has four bedrooms.

Weber had one room, Grey had one room, Linglong Pavilion's Misaya had one room, and Lin Qingsu had one room. Just as Lin Qingsu was about to go find Misaya, she was pulled into the room by Brunhild.

"You have a physical body now?" Lin Qingsu asked in surprise.

"Well, it became like this after it was infected by the black tide after the Holy Grail was shattered."

Brunhilde's eyes were filled with unconcealable joy.

Having a real body means that she can stay with Lin Qingsu even after the Holy Grail War is over.

But soon, Brunhilde frowned slightly, pressed her hand lightly on her chest and said anxiously: "But I feel like I can't control my emotions."

"What's hidden within it is the 'evil of this world.' It's normal for emotions to become uncontrollable after being infected. I'll try to find a solution in the next few days."

"I'll listen to you."

Brunhilde whispered softly, her eyes as gentle as water.

"Qingsu, do you want to touch it..."

"I have something else to do, you take a rest first."

Lin Qingsu actually wanted to experience the real body of Brunhilde for the first time.

But he didn't dare.

Next door was a Reilongkan Misaya who could explode at any moment, and although Altria seemed worried about him, she hadn't spoken to him at all along the way, and it seemed she was also angry with him.

In order to see the sun tomorrow, Lin Qingsu dared not stay overnight with Brunhilde.

After comforting her with a few words, he left the room under Brunhilde's resentful gaze, took his pillow and quilt and made a bed on the floor in front of the fireplace in the living room.

After packing up, Lin Qingsu walked to the door of Misaya's bedroom and knocked.

Lin Qingsu was originally prepared to be turned away, and was thinking of asking the landlady to borrow the key and sneaking in. However, the door opened as soon as he knocked, and a hand reached out from inside, grabbed Lin Qingsu's collar and pulled him in.

"Go ahead."

Linglongguan Misaya grabbed his collar, closed the door, and then led him to the bed, pressed his chest and pushed him onto the bed.

She stood condescendingly with her arms folded, looking down at him.

Looking at Misaye, who was wearing red pajamas, had just finished a shower, and had an expressionless face, Lin Qingsu opened her mouth.

He had been thinking about jokes like, "You didn't ask me if I was Arthur." But now he had no desire to say it out loud. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry."

"My mother told you about me, didn't she?"

Lin Qingsu knew she was talking about 'she wanted to kill Arthur.'

"Well, that's why she kept me."

Hearing this, Linglong Pavilion's Misaya's eyes flickered slightly. After a long silence, she sighed softly, and stared at him with her red eyes without any emotion.

"Then let me ask you, did you kill my father?"

"No."

Lin Qingsu's eyes were clear, without a trace of evasion.

After staring at each other for a long time, Linglongguan Misaya lowered her eyes. After a while, she raised her eyes and said faintly, "This is the last time."

"Misaya...?!"

Linglongguan Misaya couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Look at how nervous you are. What I'm saying is that this is the last time I'll tolerate you lying to me."

Lin Qingsu breathed a sigh of relief. Linglong Pavilion Misaya couldn't help but sneered, "What did you expect?"

Lin Qingsu didn't answer. She smiled, sat up, and put her arms around her slender waist.

"I miss Misaya."

Feeling his dishonest hand, Linglongguan Misaya laughed contemptuously, but did not stop him. She just grabbed his collar again and warned him: "If you dare to lie to me again in the future, I will kill you and then commit suicide."

......

At dawn the next day, Lin Qingsu got up and secretly left Misaya's room.

Although she reminded him repeatedly last night to keep things fair, Misaye was very stubborn last night, and Lin Qingsu felt guilty towards her, so she didn't leave in the end.

Fortunately, no one was discovered.

After a quick tidy up, Lin Qingsu was about to go out for a morning run. As soon as she opened the door, she saw several policemen arriving at her door.

"A witness saw you at the crime scene. Come with us."

Chapter 31: Choice

A dark hut, an iron table, illuminated by a faint candlelight.

The suspect Lin Qingsu was handcuffed to a chair.

'Click. '

The chain at the door was pushed open, and a very elegant middle-aged man walked in. Unlike the other police officers who looked at Lin Qingsu as if they were facing a great enemy, he always had a smile on his face that was as warm as spring breeze.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is York, and I'm the manager of Scotland Yard."

"Lin Qingsu."

During this era, London, the capital of the British Empire, which was at its peak, already had many Orientals who came here to seek fortune or survival.

"Although I, the police officer, have already asked this question before, I still need to ask you again."

"Where were you last night at midnight?"

Although he was smiling, the flickering face in the dim candlelight gave people a deep sense of oppression.

Lin Qingsu smiled and looked at him. The so-called oppression came from the lack of strength.

Facing this group of Muggles, even those holding muskets, he could easily break free from the handcuffs and kill his way in and out without relying on his servants, so he really couldn't feel any awe towards this group of "superiors".

"at home."

York folded his hands on the table and squinted his eyes. “But, we have an eyewitness who saw you in Belgrave last night.”

Lin Qingsu said with a perfunctory attitude that anyone with a discerning eye could see: "Maybe he's dazzled."

The young police officer on the side immediately shouted: "Watch your attitude!"

Lin Qingsu looked up and the young police officer who was indignant just now immediately shut his mouth. Feeling the gaze of this "serial killer", his face flushed red but he didn't dare to say another word.

"It doesn't matter."

York waved his hand, his gaze like a hawk.

"But according to my investigation this morning, many residents claimed to have seen you on your way from Belgrave to Baker Street. How do you explain this?"

"Maybe they are all dazzled." Lin Qingsu said seriously.

......

After the interrogation, Lin Qingsu was surprised to find that York actually let him go directly.
