Lin Qi asked a few more questions and rolled her eyes when her sister ignored her.
"Sister, I know I'm wrong. Grandpa is not free at this time. Why don't we leave first so as not to delay your practice."
Hearing this, Miss Lin Si shifted her eyes slightly from the book and glanced at him with a half-smile.
"It doesn't matter if you delay it for an hour or two, just wait!"
Lin Qi was stunned for a moment. It seemed that today's punishment was unavoidable no matter what.
Not only Lin Qi in the side hall couldn't sit still, but Lin Shuangcheng, Lin Yongguang and Li Yuan waiting outside the hall also felt that the waiting time was a bit long.
The first person to leave was Lin Yongguang. His cultivation level was not high and he still had some chores to do. After waiting for nearly an hour with no results, he went to deal with the chores.
Lin Shuangcheng and Li Yuan were the only ones left outside the hall. They disliked each other, but they were not allowed to leave first because Master Lin Qi didn't come out.
Lin Shuangcheng secretly rolled his eyes and asked Li Yuan impatiently, "What is the relationship between the female cultivator and your family?"
Li Yuan knew in his heart that Lin Shuangcheng was not happy with him, but he was highly valued and relied upon by the Seventh Young Master, and he was from the Lin family.
Even if his cultivation level is not as good as his own, he doesn't dare to offend him too much.
After a moment of silence, Li Yuan said truthfully, "I don't know."
"Don't know? I think you don't want to say it at all!"
Lin Shuangcheng snorted coldly. He hated Li Yuan more and more. He had to find an opportunity to get him away from the seventh young master!
Li Yuan opened his mouth to explain, but seeing that the other party had no intention of talking to him anymore, he couldn't help but closed his mouth again.
Not only Lin Shuangcheng, but also the seventh young master seemed to like him too.
He thought about begging the seventh young master, but his hands were empty and he couldn't come up with anything, and he couldn't say anything nice.
Yesterday, he unexpectedly learned that his family had caught snakehead fish. He originally wanted to give it to the seventh young master.
Xueqiu likes to eat black fish. For Xueqiu's sake, the seventh young master should be very happy.
It's a pity that Blackfish was sold and even Snowball died.
Li Yuan was thinking about these things. He took thirty-seven spiritual stones from home yesterday. Although they were not many, they could be used sparingly and could last a week.
Rather than staying with the Seventh Young Master, he prefers to practice alone.
After using up these spiritual stones, I went to the Black Wind Cliff to look for shells. I found three rare shellfish there last time, which was enough to exchange for dozens of spiritual stones!
It's a pity that my parents don't like to eat those ordinary-grade shellfish. The shellfish they usually send home are returned intact.
As time went by, he became lazy.
Li Yuan was thinking endlessly. When he heard his name, he couldn't help but look over and asked hesitantly, "Miss Fourth, are you calling me?"
Miss Lin Si's expression was calm and before she could say anything, Lin Shuangcheng beside her sneered.
"Fourth Miss has called you twice, but you have been indifferent. You really don't take Fourth Miss seriously."
Li Yuan was a little confused, "Fourth Miss, I was a little distracted just now. What do you want to see me for?"
"Grandpa wants to see you, come in with me."
After Miss Lin Si finished speaking, she walked towards the hall.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped to follow after he realized what he was doing.
Lin Shuangcheng watched him walk into the palace, jealous in his heart. Why was it that it was Li Yuan who was called in to meet the head of the family?
Obviously he belongs to the Lin family and grew up with the seventh young master. Is it because his spiritual talent is not as good as Li Yuan?
Lin Shuangcheng was still unwilling to give up. Li Yuan, who followed Miss Lin Si into the palace, couldn't help feeling uneasy.
He asked himself that he had done nothing out of the ordinary in the Lin family. Why did the head of the Lin family summon him?
Could it be that the seventh young master listened to Lin Shuangcheng and wanted to drive him out of the house?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel heavy.
Miss Lin Si walked in front and led the way. She passed by Lin Qishi, who was tied up like a rice dumpling and hung from the beam, looking at her like she was asking for help. She didn't look away.
Li Yuan caught a glimpse of the seventh young master's miserable condition. After the initial surprise, he quickly lowered his head and pretended not to see anything.
The seventh young master was actually punished, I'm afraid it was Master Lin's handiwork! It was better for him to pretend he didn't know.
Lin Qi was so angry that her sister just ignored him, but Li Yuan actually dared to ignore him!
The head of the Lin family, who was sitting at the top, took all this in his eyes and his eyebrows sank slightly.
What Xiaosi said was indeed true. Xiaoqi was hanging out with Lin Shuangcheng all day long, and his temper was extremely impetuous.
If you don't teach me a lesson, your temper will become crooked.
Miss Lin Si brought Li Yuan so that he could stand aside.
Feeling the faint gaze above his head, Li Yuan's palms became sweaty and he did not dare to look up.
"I've met the head of the family. What do you want from me?"
"Li Yuan, it's been seven or eight years since you came to my house, right?"
The head of the Lin family felt a little emotional. For disciples in the Qi training stage, spiritual root talent is extremely important, especially in Heiyu Island where spiritual energy is not very abundant.
With dual spiritual roots like Li Yuan, even if there are not many cultivation resources, the cultivation speed will not be too slow.
Seeing that the head of the Lin family did not mean to drive him out of the house, Li Yuan felt a little relieved.
"Let's talk home, I've been in Lin Mansion for eight years."
"I remember that when you first entered the Lin Mansion, you were only at the second level of Qi training. In just eight years, you have reached this point. It shows that you have not slackened in your daily practice."
The head of the Lin family nodded slightly. No matter how good his spiritual talent was, it would be in vain if he didn't work hard to practice. Li Yuan was quite capable of being lonely, but his personality was a little timid.
Li Yuan was suddenly praised and felt happy but also a little ashamed.
In fact, he doesn't like practicing very much, but he is not welcomed by the Seventh Young Master in the Lin Mansion. The only thing he can do is to practice.
While he was relaxing, he heard the head of the Lin family continue, "Li Yuan, from today on, you don't have to follow Xiao Qi."
Li Yuan was shocked and just when he didn't know what to do, the words of the head of the Lin family came out again.
"Xiao Qi is an incompetent person who can't even control a cat. How can he guide the people around him to follow the right path? From now on, you should follow Xiao Si to practice, so as not to bury your qualifications."
Li Yuan's heart was beating "bang bang", following Miss Fourth?
When he was disliked by the Seventh Young Master and despised by Lin Shuangcheng, he had also imagined that he could avoid the Seventh Young Master, but today, his dream actually came true!
Furthermore, Miss Lin Si's talent and temperament are all good, and she is deeply valued by the head of the family in the house. If you practice with her, you will definitely have a great future.
In just a few breaths, Li Yuan's mood went through great ups and downs. He subconsciously looked at Miss Lin Si and found that her face was calm, without much emotion or anger.
Regarding this matter, since she raised no objection, she acquiesced.
The head of the Lin family saw Li Yuan's reaction in his eyes and waved his hand casually.
"Xiaosi, please take Li Yuan down. You need to pay more attention to his cultivation. As for Lin Shuangcheng and his restless father, you can handle it as you see fit. A tree with big roots and deep roots will inevitably have troubles.
