After a long time, the Lin clan members near the archway remained silent, no one made a sound or moved.
The atmosphere was terribly gloomy.
"Are we just going to let him go like this?" Lin Zhengli said, "Are we going to let a guy like this, who is in the Ninth Grade Pulse Traveling Realm, show off his power in the Lin family?"
"Everyone." Lin Zhengren turned around and said calmly: "It's gone."
Everyone left one after another, and even Lin Zhengren's father Lin Duanxing did not hesitate, which shows Lin Zhengren's prestige in the clan.
Mr. Lin glanced at Lin Zhengli and said, "Zhengli, come and help grandpa back to the house."
Lin Zhengli forced a smile: "Grandpa, please ask your servants to help you go back. I have something else to tell my brother."
Mr. Lin hesitated to speak, but finally shook his head and left with the help of his servants.
Soon, all the people near the archway were gone, and only a few winter leaves were still spinning in the wind.
"Brother!" Lin Zhengli was furious: "Are we just going to let it go?"
Lin Zhengren glanced at him: "Otherwise? You chase him and kill him?"
“It’s not like our Lin family doesn’t have masters in the Zhou Tian realm!”
"That belongs to the Lin family, not yours."
"I'm not doing it for myself! Aren't I considering the reputation of our Lin family?"
"For our Lin family?" Lin Zhengren looked at him extremely coldly: "What have you done, do you think I don't know?"
"You robbed Lin Zhenglun's stall, but you didn't manage it properly. Grandpa asked you to invite him back, but you humiliated him and wanted to take the opportunity to have sex! Are you so in need of women, so you can't control your crotch?"
"I just want him to recognize his duty and let him understand what he is!" Lin Zhengli said anxiously: "Is it useful to support such a person? Look at today, grandpa has said nice things to him, what is his attitude? What's his attitude?
Doesn’t he just open his mouth and bite? Is he well fed? Even if the Lin family’s business is in decline, we can’t use him!”
Lin Zhengren touched Lin Zhengli's hand and said nothing for a while.
"Brother, listen to me and send people to kill them halfway!" Lin Zhengli said again: "If Jiang Wang is not dead, where will our Lin family's face go?"
Snapped!
Lin Zhengren slapped Lin Zhengli to the ground with a backhand slap.
"The Lin family's face is not important. My, Lin Zhengren's, face is important!"
Lin Zhengren pointed at Lin Zhengli, who was glaring at him on the ground: "But because of you, I am embarrassed."
Lin Zhengli was lying on the ground, first in disbelief, then angry. He almost jumped up: "You can't beat Zhu Wei, do you blame me? Okay! You tie me to Maplewood City and give me to Zhu Wei."
I am the only one who apologizes and lets Jiang kill me! I won’t embarrass you!"
He rushed to Lin Zhengren, held his neck and shouted: "Send me there!"
"I'm warning you!" Lin Zhengren grabbed his neck and lifted him up: "I'm only warning you this time, my dear brother."
He looked at Lin Zhengli's face that was gradually turning red due to difficulty breathing, and said slowly: "You don't have to pretend to be so superficial, short-sighted, and irritable. You don't have to show your childishness and incompetence in front of me.
Since I gave the Lin family to you, I will never take it back again. In your eyes, the vast wealth is nothing in my eyes. You don’t have to hide your shame deliberately, lest I be jealous of you!"
He raised it with his hand and waited until Lin Zhengli started to roll his eyes before saying, "Do you understand?"
After saying that, without waiting for his response, he simply let go of his hand and turned around to leave.
Lin Zhengli was left lying on the ground, half-kneeling, coughing.
…
When we returned to Maplewood City, it was already late at night.
Huang Azhan was waiting for them at the city gate, holding the sleeping An An in his arms.
"You are finally back!" Huang Azhan said in a low voice: "My little ancestor cried all day long, and I was so tired that I couldn't coax him. I had to wait for you. In the middle of the night, I was really tired from crying before I fell asleep.
."
Jiang Wang carefully took An An and said to a few people: "You go back first, we will talk about other things tomorrow."
Everyone dispersed, and Jiang Wang hugged little An'an and returned to his home on Pegasus Lane.
He did not enter the house directly, but climbed up to the roof, hung his feet from the eaves, and sat down.
The night was as cold as water. An An was wrapped in a small cotton-padded jacket and slept soundly in his arms. His eyes were swollen, and even in his sleep, his little mouth was pursed sadly.
Five-year-old children don't understand anything. Although their world is relatively simple, those sorrows are sometimes more pure.
Tonight, Jiang Wang was rarely practicing. He looked in the direction of Fengxi Town and was stunned.
Inexplicably, there are many pictures in my mind.
This was not the first time that he felt lonely, but at this moment he truly realized that in this world, only he and Jiang Anan were left to depend on each other.
They no longer have a father, and they no longer have a mother.
"Brother..." An An woke up at some point. She opened her slightly swollen eyes, looked at Jiang Wang's chin and said, "Have you gone to find my mother?"
Jiang Wang was silent for a while and said, "Do you remember what I told you about the stars? Dad is there, and Aunt Song went there too."
An An sighed softly, as if she was afraid of crushing something: "It's so far away."
Jiang Wang suddenly felt the urge to cry. "Yes, it's so far away."
"Brother, is it possible for you to reach the stars in the future?" Jiang Anan's eyes seemed to be overflowing with light, "Mom said, you may become a god in the future."
God...
Looking at Jiang Anan's little face, Jiang Wang couldn't bear to tell her that the distance between him and the gods was further than the distance between them now and the stars.
She may think that the day she can reach the stars, she will be able to see her parents again. She doesn't know yet that some partings really last forever.
No matter how high we fly, no matter how strong we become, we can never see each other again, that "forever".
"In ancient times, when human beings first looked up and saw the stars, they began to approach them." Jiang Wang finally said: "Crossing the deepest river, climbing the highest mountain, after there is no road at all,
Make your own ladder...this is spiritual practice."
"Brother doesn't know what the end of the spiritual path will be, but I think reaching for the stars and the moon is definitely not the end."
"Then I..." Jiang Anan bit her lip and asked carefully: "Can I also practice?"
"Of course!" Jiang Wang rubbed her little head.
"Can I fly too?"
"certainly!"
"Can I reach for the stars too?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Can I go pick up my parents?"
"……Um!"
This is a beautiful lie. Even Jiang Wang himself wants to be deceived by it.
"Then, starting from tomorrow, in addition to reading and literacy, you also need to memorize Taoist scriptures..."
"No problem!" An An said enthusiastically.
"You still need to spare half an hour to practice martial arts and lay down the basics. It will be very tiring..."
"An'an is not afraid of getting tired!"
"Okay, then let's agree to wait until the day when you can reach for the stars and the moon. Let's chase the stars together."
Jiang Anan clenched her fist: "Chasing the stars!"
