In a small bedroom where every detail was carefully decorated, a three-year-old child held a small, rough wooden sword in his chubby little hand and shouted in a childish voice.
"It's the godfather. Dongcheng, I'm the godfather. My name is godfather."
Lin Youxian looked at the little boy on the bed seriously: "Good son, look at my mouth shape, ah, godfather."
The three-year-old child looked at Lin Youxian blankly, and then nodded seriously: "Hmm... um..."
Lin Youxian: "..."
He turned to look at Dongcheng Yue beside him and said seriously: "Yueyue, do you think he is playing tricks on me?"
"I don't know, Uncle Lin."
Dong Chengyue's little face turned red as if she was holding back her laughter. She was sitting at the small dining table in the corner of the bedroom. Her clothes were exquisite and gorgeous, her face was rosy, and her eyes were shining. She looked like a little princess, holding in her arms
Looking at the doll Lin Youxian had just given her, the sweet smile on her little face made her heart tremble.
"You are also a little naughty."
Lin Youxian let out a laugh and took out the toy car placed behind him: "My dear son, call me godfather. Just call me and the toy car will be given to you, okay?"
He moved his hands a step faster and placed the toy in front of the boy first.
"Dad...Dad..."
The boy's voice was still childish. He held the wooden sword and pushed the toy car aside with some disgust.
"Hmm? Don't like cars? What about planes? Tanks? Transformers? Ultraman?"
Lin Youxian chattered non-stop, with great interest. He has rarely been at the headquarters of the Lin clan in recent years, and he only comes back a few times throughout the year. But every time he comes back, the first thing he does is to visit his godson.
, then went to see his father, and then came back to stay with his godson until he left again.
Li Dongcheng has no nickname. He just celebrated his third birthday and spoke very late. He can only say a few words of address, but his movements are very flexible and he walks much earlier than other children of the same age. When he was brought up
After returning to the Lin Clan, different departments of the Lin Clan joined forces to examine his body in great detail.
Li Dongcheng's blood oxygen content is extremely high.
Not high.
But extremely high, incredibly high.
At the same time, this child's spine is also extremely powerful, and this strength can connect the limbs to the maximum extent.
And his body coordination and balance are incredible.
All of these are martial arts talents visible to the naked eye.
Physically, this child has not inherited his father's twin veins of wind and thunder, but to a certain extent, he can be regarded as a special physique that has never appeared before.
It can even be said that this child has unprecedented martial arts talent, and his spine is even tough to a degree that cannot be explained by current biological knowledge, which means that he will not encounter any bottlenecks in his future martial arts path.
What is a bottleneck?
That's something that even martial arts talent has to compromise due to physical reasons.
Why are there so few thunder realm masters around twenty years old in the dark world?
Many geniuses have been able to reach the peak of the Burning Fire Realm at this age, but they are unable to take another step forward.
It's not that I can't, but I don't dare.
Because their physical strength has not yet reached the point where they can withstand the power of the Thunder Realm.
Why is there almost no invincibility under the age of thirty in the Dark World?
The reason is the same.
The bottleneck of physical strength is almost non-existent for Li Dongcheng.
As long as he can grow up, judging from his physical fitness, it is possible to reach the invincible realm even at the age of twenty.
Absolutely stunning, this is a true super genius.
And more importantly, compared to Li Dongcheng's incredible body, what is even more incomprehensible is his character.
Li Dongcheng is very quiet.
Children of several years old are usually prone to crying and fussing, but Li Dongcheng rarely cries, or in other words, almost never cries.
Breastfeed quietly.
A peaceful sleep.
Wake up quietly.
Quietly holding on to the rough and ugly little wooden sword, I could play with it until I fell asleep.
He will cooperate when someone plays with him.
He plays by himself when no one else is playing with him.
Many people say they have never seen such a well-behaved child.
Well-behaved... with an almost incomprehensible sense of repression.
Moreover, this child is also extremely sensitive to murderous intent and sword intent.
But the way this sensitivity is expressed is not fear and rejection, but intimacy and joy.
So every time he came back from outside, Lin Youxian was very popular with Li Dongcheng with the killing intent and sword intent that had not yet dissipated.
The word "daddy" was also learned from this infrequent meeting.
And all this, whether it is mind or body, seems to prove that this three-year-old child is destined to have a brilliant future in martial arts that is impossible to look directly at.
It is indeed difficult for a three-year-old child to see more.
But just what can be seen can already make people sure of this.
Lin Youxian watched quietly.
Li Dongcheng grabbed the small wooden sword with his hand and struck it on the newly purchased toy car, making a clanging sound.
"Tsk tsk..."
Lin Youxian sighed softly, touched Li Dongcheng's head, and said softly: "My dear son, every time I see you, I wish I could work harder. It is precisely because I see you every time that I
Have the motivation and courage to keep going out..."
Li Dongcheng, who was playing with the small wooden sword in his hand, raised his head in confusion, then quickly got up, opened his hands, and trotted into Lin Youxian's arms.
Lin Youxian snorted lightly, then laughed and kissed the little face in front of him.
After one big and one small.
Dongcheng Yue, who was dressed like a little princess, was quietly eating a piece of dessert.
She opened her eyes wide, and in her sight, a wisp of blood was slowly flowing down Lin Youxian's back, soaking into his light-colored suit.
...
"Master. Godfather."
The seven-year-old boy trotted over and bowed seriously, his voice calm.
Lin Fengting picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He looked at the young man in front of him, then at Lin Youxian sitting next to him, and suddenly said: "This kid calls me master and you godfather, which makes us look like equals."
Same thing, I am your father, do you feel like you are taking advantage of me?"
Lin Youxian, who was slumped on the sofa, sat up straight with some difficulty, and waved to the young man with a smile: "Dongcheng, come here."
He pulled the young man over and hugged him. The young man was a little thin, but compared to his peers, he was very tall. He looked healthy and steady. It was inappropriate to sit on his lap like he did when he was a child. He was a little dazed.
Touching his head, Lin Youxian was a little confused: "Dad, Tianlan and I... uh... Huangtu and I are brothers. His son, it's natural for him to call me godfather. It was you who was very
If you want to steal this apprentice from me, how about Dongcheng calling you grandpa now?"
Lin Fengting, who is over sixty years old, does not look old, but his hair is mostly gray, and his temperament is more casual than a few years ago. He pointed at Li Dongcheng and said with a smile: "I also taught you your godfather.
Yes, you are my apprentice, so from now on, in front of me, you cannot call him godfather, you have to call him senior brother, do you understand?"
Li Dongcheng smiled and said nothing.
"You can't mess with seniority. A godfather is a godfather. Dad, you are not very particular about this matter."
Lin Fengting protested.
"It's up to you,"
Lin Fengting rolled his eyes at his son angrily.
"That is, according to the current order of the clan, we and I are of the same blood, and we are far away from you."
Lin Youxian was very proud.
"Not far."
Li Dongcheng shook his head. He looked at Lin Youxian and said softly: "My godfather hasn't been back for a long time."
"Yeah, the last time was more than a year ago, right? You weren't so tall at that time."
Lin Youxian touched his godson's head and suddenly smiled: "This time my godfather killed some nobleman outside. It was a mess. He seemed to be a duke. He was also a figure in Europe. He had been very unhappy with the royal family in recent years. I took advantage of this opportunity.
With the cooperation of both parties, I killed him. The royal family knows about your existence. My godson is a gift from heaven. Many people are very coveted. My good son, the royal family said that they will give you a princess as a wife.
I'm one year older than you. Do you want me? I've brought the photos. It doesn't matter if you don't want this. They have three princesses, all of whom are good-looking. The eldest one is five years older than you, but it doesn't matter. You can choose whatever you want. As long as
If you nod, the royal family will send the princess over right away, raise her in our home, live with you, and when she reaches the age, she will be your daughter-in-law."
Li Dongcheng shook his head: "Sister, will you like it?"
Lin Fengting and Lin Youxian were stunned at the same time.
"Ah... I mean, this girl Yueyue didn't have a good look on me all the way back. She was so fierce. Is that what happened?"
Lin Youxian suddenly realized.
Dongcheng Yue is four years older than Li Dongcheng. In the Lin Clan, she is a veritable little princess. Many elders almost spoil her to heaven. When she was ten years old, she officially left the Lin Clan headquarters and studied with Lin Youxian. Of course not
Learning to fight and kill, Dong Chengyue is now involved in all the industries under Lin Youxian's name. Countless top business elites are teaching her. Lin Youxian obviously wants to use his huge resources to cultivate a new generation.
The business queen comes out.
"Good son, do you like your sister?"
Lin Youxian joked.
"I want my sister to be my wife."
Li Dongcheng said seriously.
"ah..."
Naturally, a seven-year-old child didn't understand what the daughter-in-law meant, but Lin Youxian didn't take this sentence as a joke, but said thoughtfully: "It's not impossible..."
"Bastard thing!"
Lin Fengting scolded: "Yueyue and Dongcheng are close relatives, cousins. What are you thinking about?"
"What is this?"
Lin Youxian shook his head: "Over in Europe, there are countless cousins and couples in the royal family, the Rothschild family, and they say they are protecting their noble blood. From generation to generation, who has said anything? And not to mention them,
As far as our Central Continent is concerned, in ancient times, Fuxi and Nuwa were still brothers and sisters, weren’t they also..."
Lin Fengting grabbed a grape on the table and smashed it over: "Where did your fastidious energy go? Send it to me and get some rest."
Lin Youxian coughed dryly, his lips turning abnormally pale.
Patting Li Dongcheng's shoulder, he chuckled and said: "If you don't want anything like the princess, just don't want it. Anyway, there is no loss. Your godfather brought you a gift this time in Europe. It is said that it is a certain great man who is famous in history books."
The sword used by the Duke will be brought to you in a moment."
"Thank you godfather."
Li Dongcheng bowed very seriously.
Lin Youxian waved his hand: "My godfather is going to rest first. After he has rested, he will take you around."
"I'll accompany my godfather."
Li Dongcheng said softly.
Lin Youxian was stunned for a moment.
Li Dongcheng had been very close to him since he was a child. Every time he came back and he wanted to rest, Li Dongcheng would accompany him. But in fact, every time he was taken away by Dongcheng Yue or the maid. Children are easy to coax, Li Dongcheng
Dongcheng was very obedient and never made any trouble.
"Dongcheng hasn't eaten yet? My godfather will go over first. You can come and see my godfather later, okay?"
Lin Youxian laughed softly.
"I've informed the kitchen that dinner will be served early today. My godfather will wait for me for a few minutes."
Li Dongcheng turned around and looked in another direction.
The two servants carried food boxes respectively and hurriedly walked into the garden.
Lin Youxian glanced at Lin Fengting with some embarrassment, hoping that I could help rescue him.
Lin Fengting was about to say something, but found that Li Dongcheng was also looking at him.
The child's eyes were very calm, calm and without any emotion.
Lin Fengting moved the corner of his mouth, sighed, and said, "Then let's go together."
The young and beautiful maid placed the food box on the table and took away the fruit plate.
Li Dongcheng opened the food box politely and took out the food inside, which was a large bowl of rice with a strange luster.
Rice is the best rice, but it is mixed with many ingredients, giving it a fragrance that is like medicinal herbs.
There are three dishes and one soup, all beautifully cooked. One dish is fried with some crystal clear meat, two dishes are indistinguishable green vegetables, and one bowl of soup is very clear but exudes an attractive fragrance.
Li Dongcheng did not greet Lin Youxian and Lin Fengting, and ate alone in silence.
He knew his godfather didn't need to eat.
And Master doesn’t know how to eat these things.
It's not that I dislike it, but that I'm afraid of wasting it.
He once heard someone in the kitchen speak in a very complicated tone, saying that his young master, who was not named Lin, was treated much better than any of the core direct descendants of the Lin clan. Not to mention other things,
Just for food, the price of each of his meals can match the annual expenses of an average middle-class family in Europe.
And he eats three meals a day, almost all at the same time and at the same time, and he never misses them.
Compared with the crazy money he spent when he was growing up, what is more important are resources.
Many of his foods are almost impossible to see on the market, and many of the items are even items that most people have never heard of. Some of them are really helpless, so the Lin clan has to trade them or even rob them.
Because of his existence, the Lin Clan even formed a small army, which, among other things, was responsible for finding suitable ingredients for this young master all over the world.
Behind every bite of food he eats and even every drop of water he drinks are unimaginable resources.
The Lin clan brought him back and trained him at any cost.
After eating, these foods become the purest nutrition, transforming his body every moment, making his body healthier, stronger, and more perfect.
Even Lin Fengting would feel that such a seemingly simple meal was a bit luxurious and a waste.
But he eats it every day.
Li Dongcheng ate seriously, as if facing a war.
Lin Fengting smoked silently.
The pale-faced Lin Youxian sat on a chair and watched Li Dongcheng eat. His eyes were soft and soothing, with an indescribable persistence.
After eating, Lin Youxian took Li Dongcheng's hand and walked to his bedroom where he rested.
"Dongcheng, can daddy tell you a secret?"
"good."
"Actually, my godfather is a weirdo who lives underground. He likes silence very much. Now, this is the password to enter the underground. You can also come up from below. If you don't like it, you can come up by yourself when the time comes. Remember it?
?My godfather is sleeping very heavily, I’m afraid I won’t be able to open the door for you then.”
"Um."
The elevator slowly goes down.
When the elevator door opened again, Li Dongcheng saw a very large 'bedroom, but it was occupied by countless large equipment, making it look extremely crowded.'
The air was filled with a somewhat pungent smell of disinfectant.
Two Lin medical elites in white coats had just adjusted the equipment. When they saw Lin Youxian coming in with Li Dongcheng, they were slightly startled and subconsciously said: "Mr. Lin, young master."
Lin is more relaxed
nod.
Li Dongcheng did not respond, but looked at everything around him silently.
Lin Youxian thought for a while and said softly: "In this way, you two will work overtime and stay here with Dongcheng. Dongcheng wants to play here. After I fall asleep, if he wants to go up, you can take him up, um...
.Um?"
The palm of my hand was pulled by someone.
Lin Youxian lowered his head and saw Li Dongcheng's extremely clear eyes.
"Daddy, I remember the password and the way. I won't disturb my godfather. I can go up to eat by myself, and then come down and rest with you."
Lin Youxian hesitated for a while, then smiled and said, "That's okay."
He waved to the two medical elites in front of him. After they left the 'bedroom', Lin Youxian, who was already sweating a little, said with a smile: "Good son, my godfather will take you to see my godfather's house."
big bed."
The big one and the small one held hands and came to an almost completely closed iron can.
The iron can is oval in shape, and contains a part of blue liquid with black liquid inside, which is almost solidified.
Lin Youxian pressed the button.
The liquid in the dormant chamber began to boil and turned into large swaths of blue foam.
"is it beautiful?"
Lin Youxian asked with a smile.
The air began to permeate with the bitter smell of countless chemicals combined together, and when mixed with the disinfectant, it became even more unpleasant.
Li Dongcheng looked at the dormant warehouse in front of him and nodded seriously.
"This is my godfather's big bed. My godfather likes to sleep in it the most."
Lin Youxian took a deep look at Li Dongcheng and said with a smile: "I'm going to rest. If you're bored, you can go up or ask someone to bring you some toys. Don't worry, I'm a deep sleeper and I won't wake up."
"good."
Li Dongcheng nodded.
Lin Youxian took off his clothes and opened the sleep chamber.
The moment he took off his clothes, a body covered with bruises appeared in front of Li Dongcheng.
Chest, back, thighs, arms...
Lin Youxian's body was covered with countless scars that were densely intertwined, looking like an extremely ferocious and weird pattern.
For some new wounds, blood was already flowing from the wounds as soon as the bandages were removed.
Lin Youxian, who was pale, gritted his teeth, but there was a smile on his lips.
He looked like a rag doll that had been randomly torn apart and roughly sewn back together.
Li Dongcheng had no fear or excitement.
He just stood there and watched silently.
Lin Youxian slowly lay down in the sleeping cabin.
Countless bubbles flooded his body.
The medicine seeped into the wound.
Pain began to spread throughout the body.
Lin Youxian gritted his teeth, looked at Li Dongcheng, chuckled and said tremblingly: "Then the godfather is resting?"
"Um."
Li Dongcheng nodded quietly.
Lin Youxian pressed a button and injected himself with a small amount of anesthetic, and then the sleep chamber slowly closed.
Countless foam with an unpleasant smell covered him inside.
The dormant chamber made a soft sound.
Inside and outside the cabin, it seems like there are two worlds.
The seven-year-old child stood in front of the hibernation barn and stood silently for a long, long time.
His expression was as calm as ever.
But his eyes were quietly turning red.
...
"I promised your mother to give you a chance."
In the somewhat dark study room, Lin Fengting looked at the young man in front of him with soft eyes.
In front of him were a small wooden sword and several old but well-maintained notebooks.
On the other side corresponding to these items is a shiny and soft jade pendant.
The twelve-year-old boy is already nearly 1.75 meters tall. His body proportions are astonishing, and his face has begun to change from a child to a teenager. He seems to have inherited his mother's genes. His facial lines are extremely outstanding, and he has already become a teenager.
It has a vague appearance of perfection.
He stared blankly at the rough wooden sword and the notebooks basically stacked on top of each other.
Lin Fengting also looked at him quietly.
The wooden swords were left behind by Gu Xianyan back then. There are three in total, one is very small, the other is small, and then the one in front of me.
At that time, Gu Xianyan was already in a very bad state of mind, and was even a little unclear, but she still left several toys that she had made with her own hands for her son. Although the workmanship was poor, these were the toys that Li Dongcheng had best enjoyed when he was a child.
The things I love.
"Dongcheng, maybe it's a little early, but I still want to say that you should choose your future direction."
Lin Youxian said softly on the sofa in the corner.
Lin Fengting glanced at his son, shook his head, reached out and patted the wooden sword and notebook, and said in a soft voice: "Your biological parents are amazing people. No, in the dark world, your father can even be said to be
He is the most remarkable person in hundreds of years. He represents an extremely glorious era that belongs only to him. Although it is short, it is very splendid."
"Here is everything about your parents. Some were recorded by me, some were recorded by your mother, and some were recorded by your father. They are very detailed. They are everything from the beginning to the end of that era. These can be given to you, you
You can also refuse.”
Lin Fengting smiled: "You are their biological son, but similarly, Dongcheng, you are also a child of my Lin clan."
"so..."
He gently patted the jade pendant beside him: "This is the token of my Lin clan leader. It is also another choice for you."
"Choose this jade pendant, and I will officially announce to the public that from today on, Li Dongcheng will be the heir of the Lin Clan. When I am old, you will be the leader of the Lin Clan after me. The martial arts of the Lin Clan, and all the resources of the Lin Clan,
Any information will be open to you. After I die, you will take my place to protect the countless branches of the Lin clan. When nothing happens, I will travel around the world, be rich with wealth that rivals other countries, live a free and unrestrained life, and live a carefree life.
, these are all yours."
He gently patted the wooden sword beside him: "If you choose this, what you get is actually just a story, the story of your biological parents, but you will also be burdened with a lot of things, a lot of grievances, a lot of hatred, these should be
What you are carrying is not what you should be carrying. Your life in the future will be completely different from what it is now. I can't describe what that life will be like, but it will definitely be completely different from the life you choose this jade pendant."
Lin Fengting looked at Li Dongcheng deeply: "Son, how do you choose?"
"Master..."
"Um?"
"Godfather..."
"Um."
"actually..."
In a somewhat dark environment, Li Dongcheng looked at the wooden sword in front of him quietly and said softly: "Actually... there is one thing you didn't tell me."
"What?"
Lin Fengting suddenly felt uneasy and worried.
"That is..."
Li Dongcheng laughed.
His eyes suddenly turned red: "I shouldn't have been born in the first place. You didn't tell me that the reason I was able to be born smoothly was because my mother killed my biological father with her own hands..."
Lin Fengting and Lin Youxian's bodies trembled at the same time.
The two of them stared at the red-eyed boy in front of them.
Li Dongcheng lowered his head slightly and murmured: "I don't know why..."
He laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "Actually... I remember them all, I don't know why... But I really remember... I remember everything about my childhood..."
"And I can feel that mother... seems to have gone to a very, very far away place."
