Xia Guo followed the road that Zhou Shaohang said before, entered the conference hall of the main courtyard, and then bypassed the middle wall of the conference hall, only to find that there was indeed a road behind it, and at a glance, it led to the backyard.

A few young girls walked past Xia Guo, holding soup bowls and dishes in their hands, as if they were going to serve food, he followed behind those women, with the guidance of those women who delivered vegetables, and passed through the backyard, although it looked winding, but in fact there were only two paths leading to the left and right respectively, and came to the wing hall in the backyard.

Xia Guo took a look, except for himself and the night deep, the fat man and Leon, the rest of the people had arrived.

Lin Qingtan, Lin Qingjian, and Lin Sheng sat beside Lin Qingtan on the table, and there were several middle-aged men who didn't know their names, thinking that they might be the principals of the Lin family.

Xia Guo knocked on the door, although it was useless, because the door of the wing hall was wide open, but it was also a courtesy, and then he walked in and said, "I'm sorry, the Lin family's territory is too big, and I got lost a little, so I'm late." ”

"It's okay, Mr. Xia, please take a seat." Zhou Shaohang's voice sounded from behind Xia Guo, he walked past Xia Guo, holding a pot of tea in his hand, and pointed to the position next to a middle-aged man and made a gesture of please.

"Okay, I'm really sorry, the fat man said he ate out and might not be able to catch up to eat." Xia Guo sat down along Zhou Shaohang's instructions, and then spoke again.

"Oh? Where does Master Su eat? There are no good restaurants in our Lin family's territory, they are all home-cooked dishes, I'm afraid that the taste is not suitable, so let's call it back and eat it at home. Lin Qingtan looked at Xia Guo, his tone was polite, and he pointed to a few big meat dishes on the table and said.

"Together with Leon, he made some game from the mountains and was self-sufficient." Xia Guo glanced at his phone as he spoke, and sent a text message to the fat man, asking the fat man to come over and say hello after eating, and go back to the room to sleep without worrying about himself.

"Although a few of our restaurants here are not very good, the game in the mountains is good, and Master Su is also a knowledgeable person." A middle-aged man accosted him.

"Master Su is not simple, he is a beast master, and his subordinate demon beasts can transform into human form." Lin Qingtan said, with a look of pride on his face, "Master Su is Sheng'er's friend, and the relationship is very good. ”

"It's worthy of a little young master, you can make such a capable friend at such a young age, it's really the hope of our family!" Another middle-aged man hurriedly slapped the horse's ass.

"I heard that the beast masters don't make much friends with humans on weekdays, and they spend a lot of time with demon beasts, does the little young master also have the talent of the beast master?" The middle-aged man asked curiously.

"Sheng'er is so smart and talented, and it's not surprising that he has the talent of a beast master." Lin Qingtan glanced at Lin Sheng, as if he was thinking about something.

Lin Sheng was sandwiched between a few people, and he had already had enough of the sloppy slapping horses of those clansmen on the sidelines, and his grandfather always showed off his talent, so he suddenly jumped off the chair and drilled under the table.

"Huh? Sheng'er? What are you running under the table? Lin Qingtan looked at Lin Sheng's behavior, like a three-year-old child, a little dissatisfied.

Lin Sheng went directly from the other end of the table to the other end of the table, poked his head out of the empty seat next to Xia Guo, sat down next to Xia Guo and said, "I want to sit here!" ”

"Sheng'er, come and sit here with grandpa." Lin Qingtan felt that Lin Sheng was a little nonsense.

"I'm going to sit on the edge of Xia Guo, and besides, the fat man is not here, what are you waiting for, I'm hungry." The little ghost flattened his mouth and said stubbornly.

"Patriarch, the little young master should be hungry too, I've been waiting for so long, since Master Su doesn't have time tonight, it's the same to arrange for a few elders to meet Master Su again tomorrow, let's eat first." Zhou Shaohang poured tea for everyone on the table, looked at Lin Sheng's unhappy appearance, and comforted Lin Qingtan.

"If Master Su doesn't come, won't Yeshao come either?" One of the side elders asked.

"Isn't it late at night?" Xia Cheng looked behind him and found that there was no one, "It was behind me just now, and we came back together." ”

"Is it possible that you are lost in the night? There is still a thief-proof formation in the backyard of my Lin family, shouldn't it be because of the spiritual power that was sealed and strayed into the formation and couldn't get out? Lin Qingjian's eyes were full of mockery.

"How is it possible, anyone can get lost, it will never be in the middle of the night...."Xia Guo was interrupted as soon as he was halfway through his words.

"Sorry, I answered the phone at the door." Late at night, he walked in from outside the door, naturally sat on the side of Xia Guo, picked up Lin Sheng, and let the little ghost sit on him.

"It's okay, it's okay, since the night is less, let's eat." Lin Qingtan looked at Xia Guo, Ye Shen and Lin Sheng, the look in his eyes changed, he just listened to the tone of his little daughter's voice, it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Ye Ershao, and that night Ershao entered the door and sat directly on the side of Xia Guo, and he didn't look at his daughter at a glance, could it be that the two young people quarreled?

"Patriarch, if the young master has the talent of a beast master, then we will have two beast masters next to us." One of the elders picked up the teacup in front of him and shifted the conversation to the previous topic.

"Yes, compared to a lineage that no beast master has, we still have an advantage in this regard." Lin Qingtan nodded and glanced at Lin Sheng, who had already eaten by himself, "If Sheng'er has the talent of a beast master, then at the year-end Lin family's Daobi Conference, we will be able to breathe a bad breath." ”

"Is it important whether Lin Sheng has the talent of a beast master or not?" Xia Guo took a bite of food in the bowl, and before he could eat it, he asked first.

"That's naturally very important, Sheng'er is the heir of the Lin family's side lineage, although he is talented but after all, he is still young, and he is not a threat to the current lineage, but if he still has the talent of the beast master, and shows his strength in the year-end Lin family's Dao competition, the lineage will definitely be like a pins and needles, so that a Taoist prodigy grows up, it is just a stumbling block for the lineage, there are a large number of descendants and every lineage is an elite, they are united, Sheng'er is probably not an opponent, but, It's a different story to make a beast master grow. Lin Qingtan explained, but he only said half of it, and there were some hidden secrets that were not spoken, because Xia Guo was an outsider, so he couldn't tell Xia Guo, after Lin Xin's ancestor died, and the current head of the family succeeded him, the head of the family secretly arranged a series of preventive measures, in case there was such a prodigy born in the side lineage, the lineage also had the means to deal with it, but the beast master who grew up was very good, if Lin Sheng's Taoist skills continued to improve, and he could still be like that Master Su, If you can make the demon beasts above level six obey the order, the entire lineage may not be Sheng'er's opponent combined.

"Is it useful to let your descendants sit on pins and needles? Instead, it will attract their malice, right? "Xia Guo heard it, didn't he send Lin Sheng to the knife edge?
