Chapter 61: Eating Inside and Out
Looking at Yue Zhongqi's slightly eager gaze, Lin Yan was quickly relieved, it turned out that the other party wanted to attract him to continue to cooperate in the future at such a high price, and he also took the opportunity to win him over.
Thinking of this, he was not disgusted, so he nodded, "Since the Yue master is so sincere, then I will not be hypocritical! Of course, I don't have to doubt it, with the credibility of the Yue manager, I will definitely not disappoint me!"
Lin Yan was also very satisfied with the other party's attitude, and at the end, he asked again: "In addition, may I ask Director Yue, can there be 'Purple Heart Thousand Leaf Fruit' for sale in Duobao Building?"
This "Purple Heart Thousand Leaf Fruit" is the main medicine for refining the Mixed Yuan Rejuvenation Pill for the last taste, as long as he gets it, Lin Yan can completely heal his grandfather Lin Tianxiao's internal injuries.
After hearing this, Yue Zhongqi thought for a while, and then replied: "This 'Purple Heart Thousand Leaf Fruit' seems to be quite rare, at least I don't have it here, but I can send the news back to the headquarters and try my best to find it for Lin Yan Gongzi." β
Lin Yan was slightly disappointed, he couldn't wait too long, because his grandfather's health was getting worse, and if he dragged it out any longer, I was afraid that it would continue to deteriorate, and then it would not be the "Mixed Yuan Rejuvenation Pill" that could be cured.
So he asked, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait too long, dare to ask, is there any other way to get it?"
Noticing that Lin Yan's expression was unusually solemn and his tone was also very serious, Yue Zhongqi realized that this Purple Heart Thousand Leaf Fruit must be extremely important to Lin Yan, and he also knew that if he waited for him to report to the headquarters, even if there were, it would take at least a month or two to come and go.
So he pondered for a moment and replied, "I have heard that the place where this township test was held, that is, the famous 'Cliff Blessed Land', is likely to grow this medicinal herb, and you just have the opportunity to enter it. β
"Yes, but I don't know, when will this township test be held?" Regarding the township test, Lin Yan has occasionally heard of it, but it is not very clear.
It should be the last few days, but the number of places is very small, it is said that in Qingluo City, there are only two or three places for an ordinary family, and there are also families from other places who have sent people to join in the fun, and the number of places that can be allocated to each family in Qingluo City will probably be even less. β
"Thank you for informing!" Lin Yan said solemnly.
At this moment, he had secretly decided that for the sake of his grandfather, he must enter the "Cliff Blessed Land", and as for the quota issue, he was not worried at all.
As long as you have a big fist, you can get anything you want!
Then he didn't stay long, took the three hundred gold coins, and said goodbye to Yue Zhongqi.
After Lin Yan left, Yue Zhongqi fell into deep thought.
"It is said that this son is only fifteen years old, but how do I feel that he is not facing a young man at all, but more like an old man, and this son has a kind of maturity and sophistication that far exceeds his peers, and even I am a little bit of a gain and loss in front of him......"
"It's so elusive...... However, there should indeed be a mysterious alchemist behind this son, and he may still be injured, otherwise he would not want to get the Purple Heart Thousand Leaf Fruit so much. β
Although he is not an alchemist, Yue Zhongqi is an appraiser after all, so he naturally understands the medicinal properties of many medicinal materials, and when he heard the "Purple Heart Thousand Leaf Fruit", he remembered that this is a kind of medicinal material for refining healing pills.
But he was also very smart not to ask Lin Yan in person, because he was worried that it would cause Lin Yan's unhappiness and vigilance, and if so, it would be worth the loss for him.
Of course, he had already made up his mind and tried every means to win over Lin Yan.
ββββ
At the same time, in Desheng Zhai, when the old man Lin Tianxiao was cleaning up the shop alone, to his surprise, the eldest and second sons, whom he had high hopes for, suddenly returned to Qingluo City.
"Father!"
"Father!"
As soon as they saw Lin Tianxiao, Lin Weixian and Lin Weilun took the initiative to greet them.
"Aren't you in Qin'an City, why did you come back suddenly?" Lin Tianxiao looked at the eldest and second sons, their faces were decadent, their faces were full of sadness, and a sense of foreboding rose in their hearts.
"Father, it's hard to put this into words...... It's just that why were you kicked out of the family?" Lin Weixian complained, and it was obvious that he had a lot of complaints about this.
Lin Weilun on the side was also full of anger and said: "You have made so many contributions to the family over the years, and you have helped many clansmen, but they are so nostalgic!"
"How did you find out?" Old Man Lin felt quite surprised.
"Naturally, we went to the family and learned everything. The eldest son, Lin Weixian, said angrily.
"Didn't you stay in Qin'an City, why did you suddenly ......" Lin Tianxiao felt more and more uncomfortable.
As early as a few years ago, he ordered his eldest son and second son to go to Qin'an City to take care of the family property there, it stands to reason that there should not be affected by Qingluo City, and they have been doing very well, but the two of them suddenly returned, and seeing their faces so bad, Old Man Lin had a premonition that something was happening.
"This ......" this son Lin Weilun stumbled, and seemed to have something unspeakable.
"Second brother, it's up to me to tell you!" Lin Weixian said, "Father, everything went smoothly in Qin'an City, but just recently, for some reason, the Qin family always sent people to disturb us, saying that our goods were adulterated, and asking us to compensate for the original price, which is not counted, they even gathered a group of customers to return the goods and ask for compensation......"
"What's wrong with our goods?" asked Old Man Lin eagerly.
"In fact, there is no problem with our goods at all, but they insisted on bringing out the witnesses, saying that there was a problem with the batch of brute beast jerky we provided, and after someone ate it, they were poisoned and died, not only that, but they also rebelled against one of our buddies as a tainted witness, and the city lord's mansion intervened in this matter, and in the end we had no choice but to return all the money, and even the store had to be transferred to others......"
"This kind of thing could happen!" Old Man Lin felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet.
This blow was undoubtedly disastrous for him, because he was still counting on going to Qin'an City to live a peaceful life, but now it seems that this wish has undoubtedly been shattered.
"Father, your body ......" The two hurriedly helped Old Man Lin, and found that the old man's body was so weak that he had almost no strength in his body.
After resting for a while, Old Man Lin shook his head, "Forget it, don't mention this matter, but I didn't expect that you would also suffer a catastrophe there!"
"Father, after we came back, we went to the family, and then we learned everything! It turns out that the third child is to blame for all this, if it weren't for him, why would you have been injured, and it also affected me and the second child. β
"Yes, father, and his good son, I don't know where he picked it up, but he was like a treasure, and in the end you were expelled from the family, it's really hateful!"
This Lin Weixian and Lin Weilun actually blamed Lin Weiliang and Lin Yan at this time, and put all the charges and responsibilities on them.
Old Man Lin was taken aback by this, and then he was furious, "You guys are talking nonsense!"
"Father, why are you still so partial, is the third child so fond of you, and Lin Yan's waste, it is estimated that he is not the bloodline of my Lin family at all, otherwise he has never been able to awaken the martial arts of my Lin family for so many years, and you have never regarded him as your grandson. β
Lin Weixian continued to complain, not caring about Lin Tianxiao's feelings at all, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, as if Lin Tianxiao had never regarded him as a son.
Lin Weilun, the second son on the side, also added fuel and vinegar: " The eldest brother is right, father, since you were a child, you have been partial to the third child, as long as it is a good thing, take care of him first, how have you ever considered our brother's feelings, not to mention, because the third child's talent has always been better than ours, we can also accept it, but that Lin Yan, not only does not look like the third child at all, but also can't awaken the martial arts of my Lin family, obviously, such a waste is not the blood of my Lin family, but why are you so partial to him, and your old real grandson is going to go away and suffer with us......"
At this moment, Old Man Lin trembled even more angrily, "You two can actually say such things, you know, Wei Liang has been arrested in the imperial city, life and death are uncertain, and Yan'er is his only child, can I, as a grandfather, not ask, and you are also Yan'er's uncle, but you are still complaining about your father at this time, don't you, ...... You two are so disappointing to my father!"
Seriously, for the eldest son and the second son, the old man Lin Tianxiao was indeed not as partial to the third son as he was in the past, mainly because the third son's cultivation talent was better, so he naturally had to focus on training, but in good conscience, as a father, he did not treat the other two sons badly, as for sending them to Qin'an City, it was completely to train them, train them to be business experts, and then they could have the ability to manage the family, but the two of them did not understand his hard work.
But this was not enough to make the old man sad, but after the two of them said such things, he was completely sad.
"Father, I'm also for you!" Lin Weixian didn't reply at all, and tried his best to defend himself.
"That's enough!" the old man interrupted sharply, "You two have just come back, you should not just complain about your father and Yan'er, say, what do you want from me?"
"Father, we came back this time mainly to let you return to the family. β
"Is it that you are so kind? Or maybe Lin Tianxiong said something to you!" Old Man Lin could naturally think of something.
"Yes, father, although Lin Tianxiong usurped your position as the patriarch and expelled you from the family, he also has a hard time. β
"Hehe, tell me, what's his problem?"
Old Man Lin sneered, for Lin Tianxiong, he knew this person better than anyone else, he had always been jealous and jealous, and he was ruthless, even unscrupulous, but he was ambitious and talented, and lacked long-term vision, so even if this person was the son of the old patriarch before, the old patriarch pushed Lin Tianxiao to take over the position of patriarch before he passed away.
For so many years, Lin Tianxiong has also been dissatisfied with Lin Tianxiao, and has been secretly encouraging several other elders to oppose Lin Tianxiao, and even constantly consuming all kinds of tricks.
Lin Tianxiao had long known this, but considering the overall interests of the family and in order to maintain internal stability of the family, Lin Tianxiao did not take tough measures against Lin Tianxiong, so this also fueled this person's ambitions.
Of course, it is also because Lin Tianxiao has already reached the Zhengang realm, and his strength is far stronger than Lin Tianxiong, so Lin Tianxiong has not been able to succeed.
But when the third prince came to the Lin family, he not only arrested Lin Weiliang, but also injured Lin Tianxiao, which gave Lin Tianxiong the opportunity to take away the position of patriarch.
"Now the family is in danger, there will be a danger of extinction at any time, and the township test will be held soon, if the family can't grasp the opportunity this time and win a place, then it will not be able to let the children of the family enter the sect, which is equivalent to completely losing the possibility of a comeback......
Lin Weixian said the importance of the township test, and Mr. Lin did not object to this.
He continued: "But the allocation of places in the township test is in the hands of the city lord's mansion, and Liu Chengmin is sinister and cunning, and he is even more influenced by the royal family, so he will definitely make things difficult for my Lin family in every way, so only by expelling my father and that wild seed from the family can we prevent the royal family from being jealous and resentful along with the family, so as to win the quota that the family deserves." β
He spoke as if it were really that.
But how could this kind of naΓ―ve idea deceive Lin Tianxiao, he sneered: "This is what Lin Tianxiong said to you? You are really stupid! Expelling me and Yan'er from the family can make the royal family change their hatred for the Lin family, if it is so simple, why are you suppressed by Qin Ancheng? Do you really believe him Lin Tianxiong!"
"Father, why are you so pedantic, this matter is very clear, it is all because of the trouble caused by the third child, so that the family is implicated, and Lin Tianxiong has no choice but to do it!"
"Yes, father, do you really intend to never return to the family?"
Lin Tianxiao's face was extremely pale with anger, and he glared at his two sons and said, "Don't talk this nonsense, you tell me, what else did Lin Tianxiong say to you?"
"Father, we are also back to persuade you, as long as you ask Lin Yan to write out the cultivation method of the spiritual path, and then hand over the title deed here to the family, you will be able to return to the old age, and you can also get the position of elder. β
Lin Weixian finally told the true purpose of their visit, but this time, Lin Tianxiao directly spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and at the same time, his eyes turned black and he fainted.
But the two brothers glanced at each other, and at the same time saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes, and the next moment, the two acted quickly......
ββββ
After Lin Yan left Duobaolou, he did not return to the store directly, but bought a small gift on the street, and then went to Jiang's house, he naturally went to see his sister.
In his previous life, as long as he was away from home for a few days, when he went back, he would always bring his sister Lin Ling'er such and such small gifts, of course, they were all liked by some little girls, and this habit was unconsciously brought here.
After accompanying the little girl for an hour or two, and instructing her on the method of spiritual cultivation, and teaching her a spiritual technique, she said goodbye and returned to the store.
But as soon as he stepped through the door, he keenly caught a hint of an unusual aura.
He immediately became alert and released his soul power, and suddenly, the entire store was "visible" from the inside out, but he was taken aback!
I saw that the inside of the houses, large and small, seemed to have been turned over, and everywhere was a mess, as if someone had broken into the door and ransacked it.
What made him even more unacceptable was that his grandfather Lin Tianxiao was nowhere to be found, and there was no one.
Then, he quickly ran to the backyard, but there was still no grandfather.
"Grandpa, grandpa!"
Lin Yan called out loudly, at this time his heart was extremely nervous, in case his grandfather Lin Tianxiao had three longs and two shorts, he would always be sad, because grandpa was his most important relative, and his greatest wish was to let grandpa live a carefree life.
But now he is like five thunderbolts, crumbling!
"I'm coming back late, grandpa, don't leave me!" Two lines of hot tears fell quietly, this was the first time Lin Yan shed tears since he was reborn, because he was too worried about his grandfather's safety.
Just when he was at a loss, suddenly, a figure quietly appeared in the courtyard...... Mobile phone users should browse and read for a better reading experience.
