Lin Ji seemed to have left Lin Chun a choice, but what he meant in his words was that he would not seek advancement if he stayed in Jade City, and would have a better cultivation environment if he went to Xiangzhou.
As for Supervisor Tiansi? Lin Ji blocked the road as soon as he came up.
Three days passed by in a flash, and Lin Chun's choice was not as expected by Lin Ji. He finally chose to go to Xiangzhou and join the Taiyi Sect.
After hearing the news from Gao Ling, Lin Ji rushed to the Lin family from the government office.
But before he could see Lin Chun, he was stopped by his parents.
In the Lin family's living room.
Lin Yuxuan frowned, looking up at Lin Ji from time to time, and then at his wife Chen Mei, the expression on his face became more and more depressed.
The mother, Chen Mei, simply stood aside and sighed.
"Father, mother, why are you doing this?" Lin Ji said helplessly, "Since we want Chun'er to practice, there must be a day when we are separated."
Lin Yuxuan sighed: "I had Chun'er in the first place because your mother missed you so much that she kept talking about you all day long. It was only after Chun'er was born that things got better."
Lin Ji was speechless.
Chen Mei said bitterly: "Ji'er, can you not let Chun'er go? Aren't you the town official of Jiantiansi? You are so powerful in cultivation, why don't you just teach Chun'er? Why do you have to let him be a child?
I’m so young to go to such a far place! That’s Xiangzhou. It’s thousands of miles away. If anything happens along the way..."
"In this case, why did you let Lin Chun practice in the first place?" Lin Ji sighed secretly in his heart, but his tone was a little tougher.
Lin Yuxuan and Chen Mei were stunned when they said this.
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Yuxuan said: "Don't you want Lin Chun to learn more skills? We don't know that monks have to leave their parents."
"It's not that you have to leave your parents, or leave your hometown... It's just that now that Lin Chun's cultivation has reached this point, there is a bright road in front of him. You said... if you only keep him with you for your own personal love,
around."
Speaking of this, Lin Ji couldn't bear it.
But he continued: "It is clear that the future is in front of us. You two keep him here not out of love for your son, but out of selfishness."
"It's not selfish." Lin Yuxuan frowned and said.
At this moment, he finally started to act like a parent.
But it's a pity that Lin Ji doesn't accept this method at all.
"You two are selfish, and I am selfish too. There is nothing hard to admit." Lin Ji said calmly, "After seeing the vastness of the monks, you two still want to keep Lin Chun in this small jade city. Even if he agrees at this time
If you do, you will definitely feel unwilling to do so."
Having said this, Lin Ji turned back and looked at the door.
"You brat, am I right?"
As Lin Ji finished speaking, Lin Chun's figure appeared.
"Father, mother, elder brother is right, if you don't let me continue practicing, it's better to let me die."
Seeing this, Lin Ji stood up and said: "Boy, you can tell your parents yourself. If you convince your parents, you will come to live in the government office from tomorrow. When Taiyimen replies, I will send you to Xiang."
state."
After saying these words, Lin Ji bowed and saluted, and quickly left the Lin Mansion.
There are always some barriers when dealing with parents in this life.
Since that boy Lin Chun has his own opinion, let him waste his time.
...
In the evening, in the backyard of the government office.
Lin Ji was lying alone on the deck chair, looking at the sunset in the sky, his body swaying.
On his belly, the white cat was sleeping soundly, while Lianyu's eyes on the side always stayed on the snoring kitten, as if waiting for an opportunity to snatch it into her arms.
I don't know how long it took, but when Lin Ji opened his eyes again, the setting sun had dispersed, leaving only the night.
Looking at the stars in the sky, he turned his head and saw the white cat being held in Lianyu's arms. Further away, two more figures appeared.
"It's Mr. Han Li and Abao. They saw that the master was resting, so they didn't disturb him," Lianyu explained.
The two people on the other side also heard Lianyu's voice. When they turned around, they saw Lin Ji sitting up from the recliner.
"How come you guys are back? You've only been here for a month and now you feel that Victoria is boring?" Lin Ji asked casually.
Han Li shook his head with a grimace on his face, while Abao on the side hesitated to speak.
"Just say what you want to say, hemming and hawing, it's ugly." Lin Ji said.
Hearing this, Han Li remained silent but buried his head deeper.
Abao lowered his voice and said cautiously: "Mr. Lin, we have been cheated."
"What do you mean? Why did you get tricked?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows, feeling quite gloating in his heart.
Looking at Han Li's cowardly appearance, I'm afraid the loss won't be too small.
Finally, just when Lin Ji was getting impatient with waiting, Han Li finally raised his head, with a bit of a sneer on his face.
"Brother Lin, didn't A Bao and I go out to hunt for treasures together? In fact, I don't care much about treasures. No matter how good the treasures we find are, they are still better than the treasures my father gave us?"
Lin Ji agreed with this.
But what Han Li said next shocked Lin Ji.
Han Li suddenly slapped his thigh.
"But I didn't expect that the object the two of us were looking for was really better than what my father gave me. It was more than a little better!"
"What did you say?" Lin Ji's voice suddenly rose.
Abao on the side curled his lips. He was originally a very honest and dull character, but when he talked about this matter, his face actually showed a bit of resentment towards Han Li.
To make this little mouse feel resentful, obviously this matter will not be simple.
"Po took me to dig out a branch in the desert. Neither of us knew the origin of the branch, but Po insisted that it was a huge treasure."
"So?" Lin Ji quickly asked.
"The two of us discussed it. Since we didn't know each other, we should find someone we knew to come and have a look. So we went to Luofu Mountain to inquire about it."
Lin Ji had heard of the Xiushifang City in Luofu Mountain on the way to Jade City.
"Don't be pretentious and continue." Lin Ji urged.
Han Li said depressedly: "The two of us went to that Tianbao Pavilion. According to the appraisal of Tianbao Pavilion, they said that the branch was a thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood worth two thousand yuan crystals. They also asked us if we could sell it. If we wanted to cash in, Tianbao
You can bid one thousand six hundred yuan crystal."
"So you sold it?"
"Sell it. Since neither I nor Abao can use that branch, why not sell it and exchange it for something else."
Hearing this, Lin Ji became more and more puzzled.
"If that's the case, why do you say you were cheated?"
Han Li was about to cry but had no tears, so he took out a pamphlet from his arms.
That's the catalog for Tianbao Pavilion's auction a week later.
Lin Ji opened the album, and on the first page of the album, there was an inconspicuous black branch.
But the note next to the branch almost made Lin Ji's eyesight go dark.
