The banquet continued, and everyone gathered around Lin Jiangfeng to talk and laugh, but when they were talking and laughing, they would always look at Lin Xinhan vaguely, envious and puzzled.

"Why did you give up being the patriarch just now, it should be harmless to you, right?" Mengxue, who was bored, fiddled with the pastries on the plate, and suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Xinhan.

Although Lin Xinhan seems to be saying the truth, but the discerning people know in their hearts that what he said is all excuses, and he has never been a patriarch, how can he know that he is not suitable? Follow the master out to practice, can he still experience a lifetime? Everyone complained in their hearts, but no one dared to question him in front of His Holiness, and as for the real reason why Lin Xinhan did not want to be the patriarch, everyone did not know.

"The apprentice just doesn't like intrigue. Lin Xinhan hesitated for a moment before he said softly.

He has seen through it for so many years, his father worked hard for the family as the patriarch, but because of himself, he was almost deprived of the position of patriarch, and it is normal for the family to put interests first, but he hates to hurt innocent people because of interests, so he knows that he is not suitable to be the patriarch, of course, there is a more important reason, when he is the patriarch, he can't always accompany the master.

"Yes, I thought you were reluctant to be a teacher?" Hearing Lin Xinhan's explanation, Meng Xue laughed, but a trace of imperceptible loss flashed in her smiling eyes under her mask.

Although he didn't notice the master's little emotions, he still said, "The apprentice doesn't want to become the young patriarch, naturally because he is reluctant to the master, and the apprentice still wants to follow the master and always honor the master." ”

"Haha, it's really a good apprentice for the teacher, and the teacher didn't hurt you in vain. Meng Xue looked at the apprentice with glowing eyes, and her depressed mood was quickly swept away.

Seeing that the master was so happy, a touch of tenderness also appeared on Lin Xinhan's face, "Master Xue'er, in two days, things will settle down, and the apprentice will accompany the master to go out to practice and have fun." ”

"Really, where are you going to play?" Hearing that she could go far away, Meng Xue was suddenly a little excited, but when she thought of her image, she glanced around again and saw that there was no one else next to her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

This can't be blamed on Mengxue, she has been in Jingheguo for four months, and she has played everywhere she can, if she hadn't accepted a baby apprentice, she would have left a long time ago.

Lin Xinhan smiled and said, "We are going to the forest in the south of Jinghe Country, my father helped me check before, and there is an elixir called Cold Crystal Lotus in that forest, which can nourish the soul. ”

Lin Xinhan's words made Meng Xue stunned, speaking of which, she hadn't seen that old man for a while.

"How is Ye Lao's situation recently?" Meng Xue asked a little sullenly, after four months of getting along, she had already formed a relationship with Ye Lao, and Ye Lao suddenly disappeared, and she would always feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Lin Xinhan's face froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Ye Lao's situation is getting worse and worse, he was able to wake up occasionally some time ago, but he didn't respond to how he called him recently." ”

Hundreds of years of sleep have made Ye Lao's soul extremely weak, and if he can't find a heavenly treasure that can replenish his soul, Ye Lao's soul is likely to be scattered.

"It can't be that, right?" Meng Xue already had the worst plan in her heart.

Lin Xinhan touched the ring hanging around his neck, closed his eyes and sensed it, "That's not yet, the apprentice can still feel Ye Lao's soul fluctuations, although it is weak, but it can still hold on for a while, thanks to the soul rejuvenation flower that the master brought out from the palace last time." ”

"Hmm. Meng Xue nodded and relieved herself, that soul rejuvenation flower was the last time she accompanied her apprentice to the palace and blackmailed it from an old guy, who let him know his true strength, but what she didn't expect was that there was only one elixir that contained the soul in the entire palace.

......

In Mengxue's expectation, two days passed quickly, and during this period, Lin Xinhan also made his own choice.

In the end, Lin Xinhan chose the Fire Dance Nirvana Gong, not because it was a heaven-level exercise, but because after cultivating this exercise, there was nothing peculiar about it, even if he didn't practice, he couldn't see it.

The day before the two left, the Lin family also held an internal farewell party for them, and Lin Xinhan sighed in his heart, if it was before, even if he died outside, I'm afraid these people wouldn't ask, right?

That night, in order to avoid the Lin family seeing off the two with great fanfare, the master and apprentice deliberately chose to leave in the middle of the night, but the excited two did not notice that a pair of eyes had been watching their departing backs.

"Are you finally leaving?" It wasn't until he couldn't see the two of them anymore that Lin Jiangfeng retracted his gaze, he knew very well that it was impossible for the small pool of the Lin family to trap Lin Xinhan.

"You should die now. Lin Jiangfeng looked at the shadow not far away beside him and sighed.

After a moment of silence, a figure came out of the shadows, and it was the Great Elder.

"Young people will always have their own ideas, and after he has made a lot of moves, he will naturally understand that many things are destined to be involuntary. Brushing his somewhat gray beard, the Great Elder said lightly, but he suddenly had an inexplicable emotion in his heart, did he regret it, or blame himself? Or both?
