Chapter 179: The Lin Family
"Grandpa," Lin Ya saw the old man, and a smile appeared on her face for a moment, it was the smile of the younger generation when she saw her closest and beloved relatives, but Lin Ya didn't forget her business, and she leaned to the side and let go of Xin Yi behind her: "This is my teacher." ”
"Oh, I've heard Yaya say it a few times, if you don't mind, I'll just call you by your name, how about it?" The old man sitting at the top of the place instantly moved his gaze to Xin Yi, and his slightly squinted eyes looked at Xin Yi without a trace, and said kindly.
As for the other people sitting in the hall, although they had already known that Lin Ya was going to bring her as a teacher, they still showed an unconcealable look of surprise and doubt on their faces when they saw Xin Yi's appearance.
This is too young......
Xin Yi's age is not much different from Lin Ya, but she is more petite than Lin Ya, and it looks like she is younger than Lin Ya.
Such a young girl is the teacher that Lin Ya admires?
Many people's brows were already secretly furrowed, and looking at Xin Yi's gaze, there was obviously a bit of contempt and unkindness.
Lin Ya's alchemy talent can be regarded as an excellent existence in the recent generations of the Lin family, and she is also a descendant of the head of the family, her father is the head of the Lin family, that is, the second son of the old man who is now sitting on the top position.
Therefore, the family still attached great importance to Lin Ya, and the other party later lived up to expectations and entered the alchemy department of Cangxuan Academy.
However, not long after Lin Ya entered the academy, she secretly recognized a teacher, and this teacher turned out to be a freshman in the academy of the same age as her...... When everyone in the Lin family knew the news, they didn't feel ridiculous.
It's just that when everyone in the Lin family knew about this, Xin Yi happened to go to the Chili Dynasty to participate in the academy league, otherwise, the Lin family would have gone to Xin Yi's trouble a long time ago.
After all, in their eyes, they would never believe that a little girl who had not dried up would be such a powerful alchemist - he actually dared to coax their Lin family's genius children to apprentice, as a family with a head and face in Xuanwu City, the Lin family would not just sit idly by.
Unexpectedly, they planned to wait for Xin Yi to come back and then go to punish this little girl who didn't know the height of the sky, but Xin Yi came back with unbelievable league results...... Knowing Xin Yi's jaw-dropping performance in the academy league, especially the alchemy part, the Lin family suddenly became suspicious.
After that, before they could make their next decision, something happened in the clan...... Xin Yi's plan was also put on hold.
However, Lin Ya is indeed truly convinced of Xin Yi, and even, in her heart, she has developed an inexplicable trust in Xin Yi. As long as it was about alchemy, in Lin Ya's heart, she felt that there was nothing that could hardly get Xinyi.
The Lin family really broke their brains for this matter, and they also tried all kinds of methods, but it had little effect, at this time, Lin Ya suddenly proposed to invite her teacher to take a look, maybe she could help them Lin family solve this problem.
On the one hand, the Lin family is already a little desperate now, and they also have the idea of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor in their hearts, and on the other hand, the people of the Lin family are really curious about Xin Yi...... Therefore, there was a scene where Lin Ya went to ask Xin Yi to come to the Lin family today.
"My seniors can just call me by my name. Xin Yi faced the old man of the Lin family, chuckled, and replied.
Of course, she could feel that the other party was looking at her just now, but she could still feel that there was no malice in the other party's eyes, on the contrary, the old man gave her a kind feeling.
As for the eyes of the other people sitting in the hall, Xin Yi's heart flashed with a hint of displeasure, but the next moment he was relieved...... She could naturally guess the reason why these people looked at her like this, after all, she looked as big as Lin Ya at most, but she became the other party's teacher, and in the eyes of others, it was indeed unconvincing.
Besides, this is not an ordinary teacher, but in terms of alchemy. Learning alchemy, the requirements for hard work are stricter than cultivation, but anyone who has a little attainment in alchemy is not a little older, after all, no matter how good the talent is, it must be tempered for many years in alchemy before they can progress.
At Xin Yi's age, no matter who she is, it is estimated that the other party will not believe it, not to mention that the Lin family, who used to be an alchemy family.
You must know that the arrogance of an alchemist is far superior to that of an ordinary cultivator...... At present, the questioning eyes of these people towards Xin Yi are really normal.
"Grandpa, without further ado, we'll go ...... now"
Lin Ya saw that her grandfather did not have a bad look on his face, and her heart was slightly relieved, she had been worried about this matter in the clan during this time, and now she finally invited Xin Yi, and immediately spoke.
But before she could finish her words, a middle-aged man sitting next to her stood up and interrupted: "Wait!"
"The stakes are very high, how can we casually let outsiders meddle in the affairs of our Lin family. The middle-aged man who spoke, wearing a black robe, had solemn eyebrows and eyes, and had a temperament that was not angry and self-threatening.
And from the position where he is sitting, his status in the Lin family is estimated to be not low.
Sure enough, Lin Ya's eyes sank for a moment, and she turned her head to look at the middle-aged man: "Great Elder, what do you mean by this?"
Such a middle-aged man is the head of the Lin family, that is, her grandfather's cousin, it stands to reason that she should call her second grandfather, but the two do not belong to the same vein in the clan, and the relationship is not harmonious on weekdays.
"Hehe, this is the most important secret related to my Lin family, even the young children of the family are not qualified to know, let alone outsiders. ”
Lin Ya's identity and talent make her receive a lot of attention in the family, but she is also a young junior in the clan...... The meaning of the other party's words, as long as you are not stupid, you can naturally understand it.
Xin Yi, who was standing behind, had a pair of brows furrowed...... This is the reason why she hesitated before, this trip to the Lin family, with her identity, must not be smooth sailing, look, it is beginning to evolve towards trouble now.
However, since she should get off Lin Ya and come here together, she also has a premonition of the situation she may encounter, and it is impossible for her to leave like this...... In the final analysis, what she promised to help was only Lin Ya's apprentice, as for the other people, she respected them as elders in terms of seniority, but if she wanted to rely on the old and sell the old and take the initiative to provoke her, then there would be no elders.
In the world of cultivators, the most important thing is only strength.
Therefore, Xin Yi didn't make any moves, and the old god stood there like this, and her attitude was clearly expressed.
The respectful look on Lin Ya's face at least slowly faded at this time, and she glanced at her grandfather before turning her head to the great elder of the Lin family and continued: "Great Elder, I invited the person, this is my teacher, I believe in her...... During this time, the elders of the clan have also worked hard for so long, and I also see that there is still no progress, and I don't want to see all the elders working so hard, in order to solve the problems in the clan, I asked the teacher to come. ”
"Besides, since I have already worshiped the teacher, for the Lin family, how can the teacher be said to be an outsider. ”
Looking at Lin Ya's neither humble nor arrogant appearance, the corners of Xin Yi's mouth couldn't help but hook slightly, since she accepted her as an apprentice, she hadn't seen this apprentice with such sharp teeth for a long time.
Now she is more and more aware of the character of her apprentice, once she is designated as a close person, this child of the family who looks unruly will really treat him sincerely. She didn't make a mistake in accepting this apprentice.
Lin Ya's words obviously also made the Great Elder angry, but the anger on his face had just surged up, and before he could get angry, the head of the Lin family, who was sitting at the top, suddenly spoke again: "Okay, this time it is a matter of the Lin family's secrets, and it really needs to be treated with caution, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere." ”
"But ......"
The head of the Lin family had a pale face at this time, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart: "Our Lin family has been trying to revive its original prosperity for so many years, but the family is declining year by year...... It's also time to make a change and be bold. ”
When the people of the Lin family here heard this, the expressions on their faces instantly changed. The head of the Lin family didn't see it, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Xin Yi: "Xin Yi, you are Yaya's teacher, and you are not a complete outsider, my Lin family has been working hard for so many years, but it has not been effective, now, I really want to try to change, but I will never rush to the doctor." ”
"And Yaya is an outstanding son of my Lin family, she worshipped you as a teacher at the beginning, it stands to reason that she should inform the family in advance and test it. ”
These words mean that I want to test Xinyi.
After turning the words of the head of the Lin family in his mind, Xin Yi immediately understood what the other party meant.
The attitude of the head of the Lin family towards Lin Ya bringing him back was not as completely opposed as the rest of the people present, but the premise was that Xin Yi's strength needed to be proven.
What Lin Ya asked for this time was obviously very important to the people of the Lin family, if it weren't for that, they would definitely not hesitate at all, and they would never let Lin Ya bring them back.
Now, it's time to test whether Xin Yi has true strength.
If Xin Yi can really convince everyone, today's matter is naturally easy to say, otherwise, let alone vainly want to get in touch with the secrets of the Lin family and come to help, I am afraid that the master-apprentice relationship between her and Lin Ya will have to be reconsidered......
