Rhine had seven grandsons and three granddaughters, Cohen was the youngest boy, and he had a cousin named Daisy, who was four years younger than him, the only one of his siblings who was close to him.

At this moment, three sweaty boys in vests and three elegant but tired girls were walking towards him, the boys in front of him were none other than Cohen's three cousins, one of whom looked a little older was Cohen's cousin Lisa, and the other two were cadets from the servant group Cohen did not know.

"Yo, isn't this the great genius of the Mutes family?!How can you have time to come to the place where we useless people stay?" The boy at the head is the tallest and the strongest is Cohen's second cousin Mento, who is nineteen years old this year but stubbornly reluctant to leave the school, and is looking at Linko with a mocking squint at the moment.

"Cohen, you should go and work hard for the academy quota now, instead of coming here to show off like a nobody," Mento's short and dark and thin side was Cohen's fifth cousin, Wade, both of whom were children of Cohen's second uncle, and it was hard to believe that such two people had the same parents, but it was the truth.

"Hehe, you don't know Wade yet," Mento said with a smile and patted Wade's shoulder, "Our genius cousin broke his body a few days ago, and now he has been strictly ordered to stop practicing, hey, I said Cohen, you shouldn't have lost the magic power of the wind attribute too, right?!hahaha." ”

"Good afternoon, cousins, I'm here today just to thank Cousin Vic for the soup he sent me," Linko smiled and continued to walk forward until he reached the tall boy standing on the far left of the group, who couldn't help but take a step back, he had never seen such an aggressive* person Cohen, and the light smile on Cohen's face made him even more uneasy.

The boy was none other than his fifth cousin, Vic, who brought Cohen a bowl of soup and won Cohen's trust with a clumsy performance.

Vic, who has always been following Cohen's current situation, has long known that he has been bedridden for a few days without showing up, and even Dr. Kama has come to see the news twice.

"Hi... Cohen," Vic said, noticing that he had become the center of attention, "you don't... It's not a big deal, is it?"

"Of course, my dear cousin, it's all right," Lin Ke's expression remained unchanged, smiling at his eyes, "although you added some small spices to me, and I almost lost my life," his voice was weak enough to be heard by the few people in front of me, "but fortunately I survived." ”

"Impossible!" Vic took two steps back and looked at Mento and Wade beside him in a bit of a panic, only to find that they were also looking at him with shocked expressions!

"No, you're kidding Cohen, it's just a little joke," Vic sensed that something was wrong with his behavior and straightened his posture, "It was just a little laxative that I accidentally got my hands on, I only added a little bit, I can swear to the great god of war, it's just a joke, trust me!"

"What did you do to Vic?!" Lisa frowned and walked over to Vic and grabbed him by the collar, "Damn, it's because of those guys again?!"

"No, no, no," Vic glanced at Lisa and turned his head back to Mento and Wade, "No, no, yes, yes, they gave me some laxatives, just a little bit, it can't be fatal at all! We also did experiments on a pet dog, it really won't be fatal! Believe me, I love this family, how can I hurt my own relatives?!"

"I'm glad you were able to say that, Vic," Linko was a little amused, the panicked Vic in front of him merged with the clumsy Vic Cohen remembered, he knew that Vic was just a pawn used by some people, "Never try to trick some people again, because if they can be deceived by you, it's only because they choose to trust you." ”

Lin Ke turned and waved his hand, ignoring Ellie, who was already wide-eyed, and Cher, who was staring at him in confusion, he was going to ask for some help.

"Hey, Cohen," Mento strode over to Linko, blocking his way, "I think you should give your brother an answer, instead of being blind like you are now!"

"I think I've already said hello, my cousin," Linko walked past Mento's side, but Mento, who had never been stimulated by such disregard, felt his pride hurt and burned with rage!

"I told you to stay!" Mentor grabbed Linko's shoulder, and the muscles in his arms looked particularly prominent due to the use of all his strength!

"Bang!"

A violent whirlpool of wind suddenly appeared around Lin Ke's body, and the powerful spinning force threw the door toss a few steps away, and before he could stabilize his body, a pale cyan wind blade "swished" past his ears, with a piercing scream, cutting off a tree with a thick bowl mouth not far behind him! After a brief pause, the huge canopy began to tilt and collapse!

Dusty.

Lin Ke still walked forward, not in a hurry, as if he didn't notice the countless people on the field behind him with some awe-inspiring eyes, when passing by Mento's side, Lin Ke said flatly, "No one can force others to respect themselves, want to be respected, then desperately do it to be worthy of the respect of others, instead of curling up in the family school like a coward waiting for others' handouts," Lin Ke turned around and glanced deeply at Mento, slowly but firmly opened his arms as if embracing the blue sky," How big is this world?How wonderful is this continent?!After all, you have to look at it with your own eyes to be willing, my cousin, the men of the Mutes family should never be so afraid! We should be like your father and his brothers, fearless, even if the enemy is death!!"

Mento stared at his brother, who was both familiar and unfamiliar in front of him, and clenched his fists hard!

――――――――――――――――――――

After leaving the school, Lin Ke did not go back to his small courtyard directly, nor did he go directly to his grandfather for help, but continued to wander around the family area before going out.

Lin Ke didn't follow Xue'er's advice to take the carriage, nor did he bring too many followers, but at Xue'er's insistence, he brought two heavily armed guards not far behind him and followed him a few meters away.

For him, everything in this world is new, whether it is inside or outside the walls of the family's tall walls, but in the eyes of Xue'er and Ellie, it is really incredible, this once famous cultivator maniac has begun to be interested in things other than cultivation, but fortunately, he has experienced too much surprise today, so he is not very willing to disturb his interest in this kind of thing.

After silently following Lin Ke for a long time, Xue'er finally couldn't help but ask again, "Where are you going, Young Master Cohen?"

"Don't call me Young Master or anything anymore, call me Cohen," Lin Ke said without stopping.

"Okay, Master Cohen, where are you going?"

Lin Ke finally saw Xue'er's stubbornness, and shook his head helplessly, "The destination is probably the chamber of commerce where my mother works, I'm going to find her to help a little, I remember that I can get there by crossing Yanliu Street." ”

"Oh my God, Master Cohen," Ellie couldn't help but say, "You don't want to walk like this all the time, do you? It would take at least an hour to get there on foot!"

"Why not?" said Linko, "it's all about a walk." ”

"Madame will not approve of you going to Master Cohen on Smoke Willow Street," Cher obviously noticed something else, "don't even think about it, I'll go rent a carriage now," she said and turned away.

Looking at Xue'er's slender back, Lin Ke was speechless for a while, her mother must not just send her to take care of herself, definitely.

――――――――――――――――――――

"Look who's coming," Serena looked much younger in her pure black dress with a dark red pattern, and she walked briskly over to the two women behind her, "This is my precious son Cohen, can you still recognize him, sister? He looks too much like his father, right? Cohen, these two are your Aunt Roentgen and Cousin Donna, why don't you say hello!"

Linko then noticed that one of the two women behind Selena was slightly more mature and vaguely appeared in Cohen's memory, "The others must rather believe that you are my sister, Aunt Röntgen," Lin Ke reminded the Cohen-style flamboyant tongue while seriously saluting the woman, and before the beautiful girl with pale green long hair next to her had an awkward face, she had already hugged her and made a warm veneer salute, and then dodged behind Serena, with a prank and a successful look, only gritted her teeth angrily when she stayed in place, and she quickly rubbed her cheeks, as if Lin Ke had smeared mud on her face.

"Hehe," Röntgen couldn't help but look at Donna reproachfully, and said to Serena, "You're always worried that little Cohen is becoming withdrawn, and it seems to me that he is much more lively than when we were children, and that's good, he's still so young." ”

"Yes," Serena glared at Linko with some annoyance, and couldn't help but laugh after seeing the innocent expression of the latter's "Cohen standard" good baby, "God knows if this serious illness stimulated him, he wasn't so lively in the first place, and his father and I have given him too little care over the years...... Not to mention this, how is Daddy's health lately?"

"Okay, it's just that you haven't been back for many years, and I miss you very much, and I miss this little guy very much," Röntgen pointed to Lin Ke and said, "This time I led the team to the edge of the stormy ocean, and my father repeatedly told me to tell you that no matter how busy you are, you have to go home to see, and he said that the daughter of my Qingfeng family is married to be a daughter-in-law and not sold as a slave." ”

Serena was silent for a while and smiled, "I miss him too, but I really can't go back now, but Cohen can stop by to visit his grandfather, sister, you don't know yet, in half a year, Cohen will go to the imperial capital to take the entrance exam for the God of War Academy, I want him to leave early and go to Liucheng first." ”

"That's just great," Röntgen said to Linko as he rubbed Donna's head, "That's the gathering of the truly best young people in the entire Empire, and every young person who can enter the Imperial Academy will be the darling of the Empire and a future star! ”

Donna pouted unhappily when she heard Roentgen's words, glanced at Lin Ke fiercely, and twisted her head to the side.

Lin Ke didn't care, he stared at Donna's hair curiously for a long time, surprised that the various strange hair colors in this world were much more natural and beautiful than the non-mainstream fashionable hairstyles in his previous life.

He listened quietly to Serena and Roentgen's conversation for a while, listening to the deep longing for her grandfather, who really didn't have much memory of Cohen's memory, and his heart warmed, this is what it feels like to be at home.

Aunt Röntgen hurried back to her mercenary camp without staying or even staying long, where a party from Willow City was about to sail from the harbor of Windy City to one of the most terrifying and dangerous places outside the continent, the Stormy Ocean.

Serena, who had sent away Roentgen and Donna, was obviously not in high spirits, and she didn't beat her spirits in front of Linko, so she sat quietly in her position and rested for a while, before she suddenly said, "Mento came to me just now," Serena glared at Linko reproachfully, "I don't approve of the way you used, you were too gentle in the past, but now you are too sharp," she stared at Linko carefully, and found that the latter did not resist emotions but always listened quietly before slowing down, " In the past, your father and I were always worried that your too kind heart would hurt you one day, until someone told me what you did in the academy just now, to be honest, I was very relieved, my dear son, you are all I and your father, we all dreamed of protecting you from harm for the rest of our lives, and even thought that it would be better for you to fight dogs and eagles in the streets and alleys of Windy City like an ordinary second ancestor than to withstand the wind and rain outside, but you still grew up after all, maybe your grandfather was right, you have to find your place in this world after all, maybe I just can't adapt to it, you know what I mean, I just want to saySerena walked up to Linko and gently held his head and stroked his hair, "Son, I love you, no matter what you go through and suffer, your father and I will always love you. ”

Lin Ke's muscles tensed for a moment and melted in the warm embrace the next, his voice like an oath and a whisper.

"Mom, I love you too. ”
