Seeing that the children were a little panicked, Lin Yun immediately went out to comfort them and asked them to go back to their respective residences.
Five or six minutes later, when he returned to the room, Lin Mu had regained his composure, but there seemed to be an extra layer of frost in his eyes.
"Lin Mu, the purpose of the Qiao family is very simple. They want to force you to show up. You must not fall into their trap." Lin Yun couldn't help but said nervously.
Lin Mu was the backbone of him and all the children in the yard. If something happened to Lin Mu, it would be difficult for him to support it alone. He didn't want to repeat the last experience.
"I know the purpose of the Qiao family very well, but I didn't expect that they would be so shameless and use all possible means." Lin Muhan said.
When he returned to Xichuan City this time, he noticed that the atmosphere in the city was very tense, and he guessed that the Qiao family had set a trap here.
Therefore, he never showed up with his true identity and always walked as a black-robed alchemist.
His move is also very effective.
One is a child of an aristocratic family, a young boy, and the other is a master alchemist with an old voice. No one has connected these two identities.
Because of this, no matter how the Qiao family planned their actions, he was always safe.
However, he still underestimated the power of the Qiao family.
After the other party couldn't find him, they actually started to use this despicable method to arrest the people he cared about, trying to force him out directly.
"Qiao's family?"
Ye Qianche, who was in the sea of consciousness, also heard the conversation between the two, and his voice was slightly surprised.
"Do you know the origin of the Qiao family?"
Lin Mu's heart moved.
Although he has grown a lot now, he is still young and his knowledge is limited after all. He has never been in contact with a family like the Qiao family and cannot understand their details.
"Yes, I occasionally heard others mention it when I was at the Xia family."
Ye Qianche said solemnly, "The head of the Qiao family is the Tianyuan Marquis of the Yan Kingdom and serves as the head of the Tianyuan Palace. Lingfeng Academy was also founded by the Qiao family."
"Tian Yuan Hou!"
Lin Mu's mind suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley.
He guessed that Qiao Yushi had an extraordinary background, otherwise he would not have made Lin Zheng and others grovel like that, but he did not expect that Qiao Yushi actually came from the Hou Men Family.
"If I still control the body of the Nine-Xuan Fire Python, I don't have to worry about the Qiao family. But now, I suggest you hide as far away as possible."
Ye Qianche obviously thinks that Lin Mu today is not on the same level as the Qiao family.
"Lin Mu, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Lin Mu's sudden silence, Lin Yun asked quickly.
Lin Mu stopped communicating with Ye Qianche, and then began to hand over all the gold coins and elixirs he had to Lin Yun, leaving only some Great Return elixirs for himself.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Yun's expression changed drastically.
"Go and see the Seventh Elder." Lin Mu's tone was as calm as dead water.
"Are you crazy?"
Lin Yun looked at him with wide eyes, "The Qiao family must have set up a dragnet now, just waiting for you to get into it. Are you going to die?"
"I'm not a hero, but I always do things worthy of my own conscience."
Lin Mu said firmly and forcefully, "Since my father disappeared, only the seventh elder has been as good to me as ever. It is impossible for me to remain indifferent even though I know that he is in trouble."
"So even though you knew you were going to die, you still went?"
Lin Yun's eyes became extremely complicated.
"Even if there are thousands of people, I will go to the place of righteousness."
Lin Mu's voice was light, "Besides, if you don't try, how do you know there is no chance?"
"Then I will go with you." Lin Yun said resolutely.
"No, you have to stay. This is not cowardice. Sometimes staying is more courageous than risking one's life."
Lin Mu held his shoulders and said, "These children also need someone to take care of them. Judging from the situation these days, you have done a good job. If I stay, I have no chance of doing better than you."
Lin Yun's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Don't think too much, maybe the rain will pass and the sky will clear up after you sleep."
Lin Mu sighed, and before Lin Yun could react, he suddenly took action and knocked him out.
The relationship between Lin Yun and him was no secret. He even suspected that Lin Yun was able to escape the disaster precisely because he had been in an orphanage recently.
Otherwise, if Lin Yun was also in the Lin Mansion, he might have been arrested.
When he walked out of the room, Lin Mu found that the children were either at the door of their respective rooms or in the yard, looking at him timidly.
"Mr. Yun is not feeling well and is sleeping. You have to take good care of him. I will be back after I go out." Lin Mu smiled slightly.
"Mr. Mu, you have to come back soon."
"We will take good care of Mr. Yun."
The children said one after another.
Lin Mu's eyes were gentle, and he walked out of the yard unhurriedly and closed the door behind his back.
The door closed, he closed his eyes lightly, leaned against the door to rest for a while, trying to calm down his emotions.
After a moment, he opened his eyelids, and there was no longer any gentleness in his pupils, but only cold murderous intent.
Then his figure turned into a ghostly afterimage and quickly flew towards the Lin family.
Half an hour later, outside the door of Lin's mansion.
Even though Lin Mu had made many guesses in his mind, when he saw clearly the situation of the seventh elder, he was still deeply shocked.
The seventh elder's experience was much worse than he imagined.
The clothes were in tatters, there were many marks of whipping, and the old body was hung like that outside the door of Lin Mansion.
A short, fat old man sat next to him, directing the two juniors, cursing and beating the seventh elder.
This old man, Lin Mu, knew him as the fifth elder of the Gao family, and he had had issues with the seventh elder in the past.
The Qiao family handed over the Seventh Elder to this person, undoubtedly because they did not want the Seventh Elder to have an easy time.
The strong sadness and sorrow almost overwhelmed Lin Mu's emotions, making him, a man who had experienced life and death many times, almost cry.
Reason told him that he should never come forward at this time. By doing this, the Qiao family obviously used the seventh elder as bait and wanted to lead him into a trap.
If Lin Mu was a hero, what he should do at this moment is turn around and leave immediately.
It's a pity that he is just an ordinary boy and cannot be so cold-blooded.
He can be merciless to his enemies, but he cannot sit idly by and ignore his relatives who are kind to him.
Not to mention, the seventh elder was completely dragged down by him.
If he hadn't offended the Qiao family, the seventh elder would never have suffered such abuse.
At the same time, the Lin family's attitude also made him feel extremely cold.
The Seventh Elder was hung at the gate of Lin Mansion. How could the Lin family endure it?
The Lin family chooses to shrink, but he, Lin Mu, can't do it, otherwise what's the difference between him and the rest of the Lin family!
Moreover, it doesn't matter if the Qiao family dares to treat him like this, he will fight him to death at all costs.
"Lin Peng, if you are sensible, tell me the whereabouts of Lin Mu, why do you have to suffer unnecessary crimes here." The fifth elder of the Gao family sneered.
Lin Peng is exactly the name of the seventh elder.
"I said, I don't know." The seventh elder's voice was very weak.
"You are a tough talker, but your insistence is really stupid."
The fifth elder of the Gao family had a face full of ridicule, "Look, you have been loyal to the Lin Mansion all your life. When you are really in trouble, no one will stand up for you, and there will be no one like Lin Mu, the little beast you tried so hard to protect."
"If I look at it, if he really cares about your kindness, he should stand up instead of hiding like a mouse and letting you, an old man, be beaten and scolded."
"The Lin family's decision has its own reasons. For the sake of the family, there is no harm in sacrificing me."
The seventh elder was unmoved at all, "As for Xiao Mu, he didn't come out, which shows that he is very rational and calm. I am only proud of this."
"Damn old man, no matter what you say, it can't change the fact that you were abandoned." The fifth elder of the Gao family looked ferocious.
The Qiao family promised that if the Gao family could find Lin Mu, the resources in the coming year would be greatly tilted towards the Gao family.
Thinking of this, the fifth elder of the Gao family became even more angry at the seventh elder's stubborn resistance: "Is it worth it for you to do this for a heartless and unjust little beast?"
"Doing things for your juniors, why bother asking if it's worth it?"
A feeble smile appeared on the seventh elder's face, "Of course, people like you, who are inferior to animals, cannot understand such human emotions. You still don't need to waste your efforts, don't say that I really don't know the whereabouts of Xiao Mu, even if I know,
You can't possibly tell either."
The fifth elder of the Gao family had veins popping on his forehead, but in an instant he smiled sternly: "You want to anger me and make me kill you? As long as you die, you don't have to worry anymore. That little beast Lin Mu will come out with a hot head, right?"
"Tsk tsk, you really think about the younger generation at all times, but the more you act like this, the less I will do what you want. I won't kill you, I will only torture you severely. I think if that little beast is around, he will be very upset if he sees it.
happy."
"Hit me, hit me hard."
Snap! Snap!
The two Gao family disciples raised their whips again and wanted to beat the seventh elder.
However, as soon as they raised their hands, two rays of cold light suddenly broke through the sky.
"ah!"
Two screams sounded at the same time.
Looking at their throats, they all had flying knives stuck in their throats.
"Lin Mu!"
The fifth elder of the Gao family stood up suddenly, with a mixture of shock and anger on his face, but if you look closely, there was still a hint of surprise hidden in his eyes.
No one in Xichuan City knows that the flying knife is Lin Mu's famous weapon.
What killed Qiao Yushi was also a flying knife.
The death of the two children made the fifth elder of the Gao family angry.
But their deaths, in exchange for Lin Mu's appearance, were undoubtedly worth it!
"Xiao Mu?"
Contrary to him, the seventh elder's face was pale and frightened, and he shouted, "Why are you here, you bastard? Run away as fast as you can, as far as you can."
Most of the people around him haven't reacted yet. If Lin Mu ran away immediately, he might still have a chance of survival.
Lin Mu smiled heartbrokenly: "Seventh Elder, I have listened to your words before, but I'm sorry this time, I won't run away."
"You" the seventh elder was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The fifth elder of the Gao family laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Lin Peng, I take back what I said before. Your pain for this little beast was not in vain. You are still very kind."
Bang! Bang! Bang
Immediately afterwards, a series of applause echoed in the air, and from a loft opposite, familiar figures came out.
It was Gao Lanyue, Ye Fengwu, Liu Tianxuan and other young heroes from major aristocratic families. Except for the younger generation of the Tang family and the Lin family, basically everyone showed up.
"You don't even know yourself, and you still want to save people. This is stupid." Liu Tianxuan was surrounded by the Liu family's children, his eyes full of strong sarcasm.
He had no hatred towards Lin Mu.
However, recently in Xichuan City, Lin Mu's name has spread all over the place, stealing the limelight from other members of their aristocratic families. Liu Tianxuan naturally dislikes Lin Mu.
Of course, the more important thing is that if he can kill Lin Mu this time, he will most likely be valued by the Qiao family, and he cannot give up such an opportunity.
Lin Mu ignored him and looked at Ye Fengwu first: "Although I didn't like what happened in the past, I can't say I hate you. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, but I really didn't expect that you would come this time.
"
This time, the people who came here had only one purpose, and that was to kill him!
