Chapter 51

No matter how others persuaded, Lin Xiuran insisted on going down the mountain in the end, but he was not alone, Yin Chengyu tried to persuade him for a long time, and finally followed him down the mountain as he wished.

Minghe Mountain is very close to Xihe County, if you travel day and night, you can reach it in just one day.But even though Lin Xiuran was anxious, he still had scruples about arriving at Yin Chengyu after all, and he didn't want him to know too much, so he didn't show any signs of dew on his face, and the two of them traveled leisurely all the way until they arrived at Xihe the next day.

The Lin family got the news early on, and all the guards guarding the city recognized Lin Xiuran. As soon as he showed up, they surrounded him.

Lin Xiuran was well-known in Xihe for being gentle and unassuming. Everyone in the Lin family had a good impression of him. Yin Chengyu stood half a step behind Lin Xiuran, not showing off, just silently watching Lin Xiuran chatting with everyone with ease.

Yin Chengyu has almost never seen Lin Xiuran who advances and retreats in such a graceful manner, who is faintly capable of being alone.

It also made him feel extremely novel.

Before it was time for a cup of tea, the people sent by the Lin family to pick up Lin Xiuran had already arrived at the gate of the city. Lin Xiuran looked a little uncomfortable looking at the large crowd of dozens of people.

"I thought the young master would arrive in the afternoon, so I didn't go out of the city to greet you. I neglected the young master. I really deserve death..."

The leader bowed to the ground and apologized to Lin Xiuran. Lin Xiuran quickly dodged to avoid it, and stretched out his hand to help the man up: "Uncle Zhou beat me to death! It's just a trip home, why is there such a big commotion."

After exchanging pleasantries, Uncle Zhou turned his attention to Yin Chengyu who had been silent behind Lin Xiuran.

"This son... is it?"

It would be easy for others to introduce, but Yin Chengyu's identity involved a lot after all, Lin Xiuran hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to speak.

On the contrary, Yin Chengyu stepped forward boldly and generously: "I am a disciple of Tingyun Peak Yanqing Peak's master."

He didn't even have a first name or surname in what he said, which is really hard to address. Fortunately, Uncle Zhou was used to seeing all kinds of people, so Dang even greeted him with a big smile on his face: "It turns out that he is from the same family of the young master. .”

After Lin Xiuran returned home, he naturally returned to his own residence. Logically speaking, Yin Chengyu, who was traveling with him, naturally lived in the Lin family with him, and let him fulfill the friendship of the landlord. In terms of face, the Lin family is also an enemy rather than a friend to him.

"Senior brother..." Lin Xiuran whispered, "I forgot to ask before, after you arrive in Xihe... how will you arrange it?"

Unexpectedly, Yin Chengyu looked surprised: "What? Didn't I go down the mountain with you? It all depends on your arrangement."

Seeing Yin Chengyu's expression, Uncle Zhou knew that Lin Xiuran had made a mistake in the interrogation, and he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry, this old servant will order someone to clean up the guest room for this... this young master."

"You don't have to bother me anymore." Yin Chengyu said with a smile, "I have a very close relationship with Junior Brother Xiu Ran, and we have always shared the same bed..."

Lin Xiuran pinched the soft flesh of Yin Chengyu's waist in embarrassment, and Yin Chengyu quickly changed his words: "Sleep on the feet, like brothers and feet."

This guy must have done it on purpose!

"Brother just rest with me, Uncle Zhou doesn't need to bother arranging it." Lin Xiuran gave Yin Chengyu a look, Yin Chengyu was not at all embarrassed, and followed behind him with a smile.

Although the distance is very close, Lin Xiuran has not been back for more than a year. No matter why he came back this time, he still feels a little sad in his heart. Lin Maozhi naturally misses his only son very much. But see it with your own eyes.

Lin Maozhi was in the prime of his life, so he sized up Lin Xiuran up and down, his eyes couldn't help turning red, and he patted Lin Xiuran on the shoulder: "My son has grown taller and lost a lot of weight. .”

It's normal to grow taller, Lin Xiuran only reached Lin Maozhi's shoulders before leaving home, and now he is as tall as Lin Maozhi, but there is no way to talk about Qingjiao.Although there is no emphasis on appetite on Minghe Mountain, with Yin Chengyu by his side, he can get some game snacks every now and then, and Lin Xiuran still feels that he is getting fatter.

Perhaps in the minds of all parents, no matter how successful the children who leave home are, they still make the family worry?

The patriarch of the Lin family, who has always been impeccable in his actions, rarely loses his composure. He grabs Lin Xiuran and asks about his health, but almost ignores Yin Chengyu who is at the side. Uncle Zhou coughed softly, which reminded him.

Lin Maozhi had met Yin Chengyu before, so he naturally knew his identity. Seeing him appearing here majestically, he was not sure what Lin Xiuran had said to Yin Chengyu, so he only said a few polite words.

Yin Chengyu didn't care about this, and even looked at Lin Maozhi's greetings to Lin Xiuran, feeling a little envious in his heart.If the tragedy hadn't happened back then, would he still be surrounded by people asking questions when his family was looking forward to studying at COSCO, and when he went home to visit relatives, he was afraid that life outside would be a little bit unsatisfactory?

But where are there so many "what ifs"?

Even if he returned to Yin's house now, all he could see was blood-stained ruins.

Concerned about Yin Chengyu's identity, Lin Maozhi didn't make a big splash for Lin Xiuran, but only ordered people to buy more food and drinks, and the three of them had a simple meal together. As for what he said in the interrogation with Lin Xiuran before, they were all suppressed , did not mention.

Yin Chengyu also knew that the father and son hadn't seen each other for a year, and even if they had nothing to discuss, they would gossip, so soon after the meal, he first proposed to leave to rest under the pretext of being tired.

Lin Xiuran had already greeted him, so the servants who served him directly led him to Lin Xiuran's courtyard.Yin Chengyu had actually been here before, but last time he sneaked in while avoiding the guards, feeling a bit like a "gentleman on the beam", but this time he came in as a guest, so naturally he had to go around more and feast his eyes.

Seeing that Yin Chengyu had already left, Lin Maozhi waved away his attendants and set up a soundproof formation, and then he became serious.

"Then why did Yin Chengyu come back with you? Did you tell him about the investigation sent for your father?"

"How could it be!" Lin Xiuran shook his head hastily, "Brother followed me because he was worried that I would go down the mountain alone."

After thinking for a while, he blushed again and said, "Father... there is one more thing... If the child says it, please don't get angry."

When Lin Xiuran seldom hesitated like this, Lin Maozhi raised his heart when he saw his expression, fearing that something had happened to him, he kept asking. Unexpectedly, the more he asked, Lin Xiuran's face became redder, and even his neck They all burned up.

Lin Maozhi's blessing was deep in his heart, and he suddenly understood his son's awkward appearance, and said with a gentle smile, "My son...doesn't it mean that he has someone he likes?"

Lin Xiuran nodded.

"This is a good thing!" Lin Maozhi clapped his hands and smiled, "Why are you still afraid that Dad will be angry?"

Lin Xiuran held back for a long time, and finally said with a blushing face, "Yes... the person my child likes... is a man."

"So what?" Lin Maozhi was very accepting of this, "My generation of cultivators do whatever they want, since you like him, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman?"

Lin Xiuran shook his head in silence, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "That person...is Yin Chengyu."

Only then did Lin Maozhi change his color. He really didn't care whether Lin Xiuran's favorite person was a man or a woman, even if he was a mortal with no cultivation level, he didn't care, but Yin Chengyu, after all, his identity was too sensitive.

The hatred of exterminating the family cannot be perfunctorily solved by saying "the two love each other".

"How much does he know about what happened back then?" Lin Maozhi asked with a sullen face.

Before Lin Xiuran left, he only said vaguely that You Xiaoxiao was pretending to be a member of the Lin family, but looking at Lin Maozhi's current appearance, it is obvious that he already knew that someone from the Lin family was responsible for what happened back then.

"He knew it was from the Lin family...but he didn't know more specifically, but he swore in front of me with his heart and soul! In the past, he only looked for the mastermind, and the rest would never wait. Will be angry!"

Lin Maozhi shook his head, stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brows, and showed a rare tired look.

"Do you think these things can be solved by saying 'just get rid of the mastermind'?"

Lin Xiuran was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to justify something, but he couldn't say it after all.

"For my father, I ordered people to investigate the matter of the Yin family's extermination. Do you know how many people have been involved?" Lin Maozhi sighed, took out a jade slip and handed it to Lin Xiuran.

Lin Xiuran took the jade slip in a daze, and leaned close to the center of his eyebrows to check the contents of the jade slip, but his face changed soon.

There are more than 20 names listed in the jade slips, all of whom are descendants of the Lin family, and their life qualifications are also recorded in detail. At first glance, there seems to be no doubt, but after a closer look, it is found that these people were born eight years ago. After the Yin family's extermination, sooner or later, there were some small and big adventures, which could allow them to break through in cultivation and even sharpen their aptitude, but it would not be so obvious that the family would discover it at a glance.

"Although the Yin family cannot be compared with the Lin family, it is still a second-rate family no matter what. How could the strength of the entire family be wiped out overnight with just a few offshoots?" Lin Maozhi sighed, "Although these few people It bears the name of the Lin family, but it is not closely related to the main family, which is why it has been concealed for so many years."

After a short pause, Lin Maozhi continued: "These fathers have ordered people to investigate carefully. They may be bitter or impatient, and none of them can take on major issues. There must be another mastermind behind the incident, and this mastermind... ...in the family."

Lin Xiuran opened his mouth wide in shock, but soon he realized that it was impossible to destroy a second-rate family overnight with just these few side disciples, and the ones that have been found out now are nothing more than scumbags. The real big fish are still hidden behind.

"Xiu Ran, now that this matter has been found out, I'm afraid it's already alarming the snake."

Lin Maozhi looked at Lin Xiuran without a smile on his face, and then slowly took off the ring on his hand.
