"Oh, you are such a troublesome adopted son! But if it weren't for you being an adopted son, I'm afraid I would never see your expression like this in my life. It's really rare."
"Xuanzi, you have always been the most mysterious among us. It is difficult for anyone to guess your thoughts, but this time, you are actually confused by the matter of your adopted son."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be really hard to believe that this is true. But this also shows that you attach great importance to this adopted son. So I will try my best to help you find a way to help you keep your son.
Adopted son." Old man Lin glanced at Gu Xuanzi slightly strangely, and then couldn't help but say.
"The reason why I attach so much importance to you is that soon you will know why I do this. But the time is not ripe yet, so I can't say it yet. Old man Lin, take me to see him!" Gu Xuanzi hesitated for a moment.
, and then said calmly.
"I just said that you are different today. Didn't I just say that you are here again? If you like to be mysterious, then you should do it slowly! I would like to see what you can do in the end."
After hearing this, Old Man Lin curled his lips speechlessly, and then strode directly towards the cliff.
When he reached the edge of the cliff, Old Man Lin did not stop. Instead, he tiptoed and flew directly forward.
Nearly twenty meters wide, he jumped to the other side of the cliff. On this side, the mountain was even wider, and the altitude was higher than before.
"Mr. Lin, ancient!" The two of them walked on the flat ground for nearly two kilometers with light steps. A large stone gate appeared, with several dazzling characters engraved on it, "Lin Family Inner Courtyard."
The mark at the foot of the mountain in front is the Shanggu Lin Family. The meaning of the Shang Gulin Family is that it includes all areas. The Shanggu Lin Family is divided into several parts. In front of you is the inner courtyard of the Shang Gulin Family, the core part!
There were four junior Dzogchen masters sitting in front of the door, and they were quite powerful. As soon as the two people came to the door, the four door guards said respectfully.
Although the tone was very respectful, the aura released from his body was very obvious. He released a strong aura, and they were four junior Dzogchen masters. It was clearly stated that no unrelated personnel were allowed to enter the inner courtyard of the Lin family.
"We have something to do with the head of the family, take us to see him!" Mr. Lin nodded, and then said directly.
"Mr. Lin, you have been in seclusion all year round and don't know much about the internal affairs of the Lin family. The head of the family suddenly realized something some time ago. He is still in seclusion and doesn't know when he will be able to come out. Therefore, you can't see the head of the house for the time being.
.If anything really happens, Mr. Lin can make the decision himself."
"But if even Mr. Lin is not sure, you can discuss it with my mother. Or, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait for the head of the family to leave the country. If Mr. Lin wants to discuss it with your mother, I can take you two there on your behalf. If you can only
After discussing with the owner of the house, we can only trouble the two elders to come back in a few days!" One of the doormen said with a serious face.
"Why would he choose to retreat at this time? When there are family affairs, especially the annual enrollment, no matter how busy he is, he will not let go of these new students. On the contrary, he pays more attention to the annual enrollment."
"Especially this time, the enrollment is different from before. This time it is more important. And we are also facing the threat of demonic energy. How can he be such a retreat? How long has he been in retreat?" After hearing this, Mr. Lin frowned slightly.
He frowned, muttered for a while, and finally asked.
"Today is the third day! Under normal circumstances, the head of the family retreats for five days. So, two elders, if you must see the head of the family, just wait for two more days!" The guard said again.
"Two days? I'm afraid two days is too late! If you can persist to the last level of the seven-story Demon Suppression Tower, it will take three days. When I got to the fourth level, I tried all kinds of ways.
In the end, I only lasted one day.”
"I don't know which level your adopted son can make it to, but not many people have made it to the seventh level, so do you think your adopted son can persist to the end? If he can't, he will come out early.
By then, the master of the house had not left seclusion, and Yao Lao had already come to the door."
"At that time, you couldn't run away even if you wanted to. The head of the family was away and Yao Lao had the power in the Lin family. Basically no one dared to stop him! Even if the head of the family was present, it would probably be difficult to persuade him."
"So, I can only help here. If your adopted son can delay the time and come out after the head of the house comes out, then there is still some hope. If he comes out early, then you really have to do it.
Ready." After hearing this, Mr. Lin frowned, then stared at Gu Xuanzi and said.
"Since Lin Tian is also a member of the Lin family, and his master is Yao Lao, then who are his parents?" Gu Xuanzi suddenly asked.
"When the master of the house comes out of seclusion, please inform me as soon as possible. I will be at the Demon Tower in Back Mountain Town!" Mr. Lin did not answer Gu Xuanzi's words, but stared at the several guards and said calmly.
"Yes, Mr. Lin!" the four guards replied at the same time.
"Old man Lin, is the question I just asked you a taboo question? Come out in such a hurry, tell me, what is going on?" Old Lin took the lead, and the two of them turned around and returned to their original positions. Seeing that Old Lin was so anxious,
When he came back, he suddenly thought of something, so he asked.
"It's not a taboo question, but no one in the Lin family is willing to mention it. Because this issue involves the second head of the family. No one in the entire ancient Lin family dared to mention the matter of the second head of the family." Old Man Lin
He picked up the teacup on the stone table, took a sip, and then spoke slowly.
"Second head of the family? It seems that since I left the Lin family last time, a lot of changes have happened within the ancient Lin family until now! But listening to your tone just now, this Lin Tian and the second head of the family you just mentioned, including that one
Yaolao, I feel like there seems to be some connection between these three people! Tell me quickly." Gu Xuanzi urged.
"Actually, the head of the family has given an order about this matter, and it cannot be told outside. So if you want to know, you have to promise me not to tell anyone else. Otherwise, I have broken the rules of the Lin family. Even if I am the guardian, I have to accept it.
Punishment from the ancient Lin family." Old Man Lin hesitated for a moment, then said.
"So, do you want to tell me?" Gu Xuanzi didn't say much else, but asked directly. Although it was just one sentence, the implication of this sentence contained a lot.
"you
What do you mean?" After hearing this, Old Man Lin curled his lips speechlessly, and then said: "In the past, apart from the head of the Lin family, the second head of the Lin family had the most say.
The current head of the family is even more capable."
"The second head of the family is not the real brother of the head of the family, but the junior brother of the head of the house. They have a master, who is the head of the previous generation of the house. When the head of the previous generation of house was still there, he liked the second head of the house more."
"But because the second head of the family was not from the Lin family, in the end, he could not be elected as the head of the family. Later, the previous generation of head of the family betrothed his daughter to him, becoming half of the Lin family, and finally reluctantly became the second head of the ancient Lin family.
"
"Everything is competitive, let alone the battle for the position of the family leader. After the family leader's junior brother becomes the second family leader, although the title of the second family leader sounds very powerful, besides the family leader, he is the most powerful. But in fact, this second family leader
He doesn't have any power. To put it bluntly, he is just a name."
"And the head of the family doesn't like to compete for the position of head of the family. He also knows his position, so after the head of the family was elected, he stopped asking about family affairs and lived a life without fighting with the world.
."
"At this time, the ancient Lin family held an alchemy conference with the purpose of selecting the chief alchemist. Yao Lao, who had always been low-key, performed amazingly in this competition and won the title of chief alchemist.
The number has gained the attention of the head of the family."
"Actually, Yao Lao's talent in alchemy is really good. After becoming the chief alchemist, he was not proud. He kept working hard and studying the art of alchemy as before. At that time, his performance really won the praise of many people.
Appreciation, including the head of the family."
"And the daughter of the old family leader, who is also the wife of the second family leader, is also an excellent alchemist. Her alchemy level is second only to Yao Lao. At that time, after the second family leader retired, he has been studying the exercises, and his wife is
Studying the art of alchemy. It can be said that this couple spends very little time together."
"Not long after, the second family leader's wife received news that she was pregnant. When the news came out, the second family leader was not only not happy, but also furious! Because he did not believe that the child was his. After all, during that time, the two of them
There’s very little time together.”
"During that time, his wife and Yao Lao often made elixirs together. Sometimes, they often stayed away from home all day and night. So the first thought of the second family leader at that time was that his wife was having an affair with Yao Lao.
Collusion.”
"In other aspects, the second head of the family is very capable, but when it comes to personal relationships and women, he has difficulties that he can't overcome. After this incident happened, he couldn't calm down at all. In the end, he completely fell out with Yao Lao
Already."
"And his wife was also very angry because the second head of the family did not trust her. The two simultaneous retorts, coupled with the head of the family's persuasion, made the second head of the family feel desperate. In the end, he left the Lin family. The child was born
From then on, he was called Lin Tian."
"In addition, Yao Lao took special care of Lin Tian in the later period and basically focused all his attention on Lin Tian. So many people think that this matter is not the fault of the second family head. But because of the family head's
