Chapter 407: Parting
But Mullen could do nothing.
He could only linger as usual, not daring to see his son, just standing in the corner of the wall smoking cigarettes one after another, bitter.
"Ahem......" Lin coughed, since the seal on his body was broken, Lin's senses began to become more sensitive than before, and the slightest smell of smoke wafting in through the gap in the window would make him feel uncomfortable in his throat.
"What's wrong with you? I'll go out and have a look! Qiao Liang didn't notice the faint smell of smoke, but he still decided to go out to see the situation outside for Lin, and as a result, he bumped into the hesitant Maren head-on.
Qiao Liang never expected that his father would appear here at this time, so his mood suddenly became quite happy: on weekdays, his father has been consciously avoiding himself in order to avoid suspicion, so today Ma Lun took the initiative to appear in front of Qiao Liang, Qiao Liang was so happy, even his eyes were a little moist; Maren obviously didn't expect Qiao Liang to find himself here, the expression on his face was full of horror, and even the cigarette in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.
Qiao Liang walked towards Malen emotionally, but he didn't know what to say, he just looked at Malen in a daze, and only after a while did he speak: "Father, I ......"
"I'm getting out of here...... Go to Shuangyoucheng. Mullen opened his mouth and said, Shuangyou City is the capital of the country of streams, and it is also the place he will go this time.
Qiao Liang's eyes showed a flickering light: "That ......"
"Let's leave tomorrow, we probably won't have a chance to meet again in the future." Ma Lun interrupted Qiao Liang's words first, lit another cigarette and took a deep breath. At this moment, his brows were tightly locked.
Listening to Ma Lun's words, Qiao Liang's pupils dilated suddenly, and his eyes flickered, as if it was hard to believe what he had heard. After a while, he said in a trembling voice, "So...... Do you really want me? β
"Qiao Liang!" Maren sighed heavily, and then showed an impatient expression: "Why don't you understand?" I already have a new family, a new life, and my current wife will not accept you! Don't look at your own appearance, isn't it embarrassing for me to be like a beggar all day long......" As he spoke, Mullen squeezed off the cigarette in his hand and threw it directly to the ground and stepped on it fiercely!
Qiao Liang looked at the cigarette butt that had been extinguished on the ground and did not speak again, but he felt very bitter in his heart. He didn't understand what he had done wrong, why did his father dislike him so much?
Maren said again: "Now that I can't control you, you can stay here and fend for yourself!" β
With that, Mullen sighed again, and then left without looking back.
Qiao Liang didn't catch up again, just stayed where he was and didn't move. He looked at the back of Mullen all the way away, with mixed feelings and heartache.
Why? Why can I never get my father's approval, and what is wrong with me not doing well?
At this moment, Qiao Liang finally had a real feeling of being abandoned, and he was sad and desperate. He was in a rather depressed mood, like a walking corpse, and walked back to the house empty-hearted.
As a result, as soon as he walked into the house, he found that Lin was leaning against the corner with his head covered and his eyes closed with a painful expression at this time, which made Qiao Liang temporarily relieve himself from the pain of being abandoned. He stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why are there so many problems on my body, and where is it uncomfortable? Although Qiao Liang was very concerned about Lin's condition, his tone when he said this was really not good, and there was obviously a bit of reproach in it. And this may also have something to do with his bad mood now.
"I must go back to Shuangyou City immediately," Lin's brows furrowed slightly, and then he opened his eyes and said helplessly, "The sooner the better." β
Looking at Lin's pale face, Qiao Liang sneered: "Don't you even look at what your legs have become?" I don't think you can even walk the road now, let alone go to Shuangyoucheng! β
"But I have to go," Lin rubbed his temples, finally feeling a little relieved. He looked up at Qiao Liang and said with a rather serious expression, "I have something to do. β
"What had to be done? Hehe, you're not referring to something like a fantasy to change the status quo of the country, right? I said, why are you so naΓ―ve? I've told you how many times, no! Can! Yes! Target! I see that you are still honestly staying here to recuperate, otherwise let alone going to Shuangyou City, I'm afraid this leg will be wasted halfway through! Qiao Liang said angrily.
"Isn't there still you?"
"Huh?" Qiao Liang looked at Lin and thought he had misheard.
So Lin repeated again: "Isn't there still you?" I'm now wanted by the whole city and can't move, and it's almost impossible to return to Shuangyou City in a short period of time on my own. So I need you to help me and send me to Shuangyoucheng. β
"Why should I send you to Shuangyoucheng? If someone finds out that I'm with you, a murderer, I'm afraid I'll die with you!" Besides, what's in it for me? In the face of Lin's justified and vulgar request, Qiao Liang was a little angry.
"Because your father is also going to Shuangyou City," Lin glanced up at Lin, the expression on his face was quite flat: "Even if he doesn't have the courage to take you away, you can still take the initiative to find him!" β
Listening to Lin's words, Qiao Liang was obviously stunned, and suddenly became annoyed: "You were eavesdropping on us just now?" β
Lin neither admitted nor denied it, but only replied, "I'm just giving you a reasonable suggestion." β
The expression on Qiao Liang's face became rather bleak: "Could it be that I can change all this if I go to Shuangyou City?" β
Lin looked at Qiao Liang's eyes and said very seriously: "I can tell you the answer, but are you sure you really want to know what will happen in the future?" β
Qiao Liang was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" β
Lin smiled slightly: "If you know that the future will not be as you wish, then you will give up hope and give up your efforts for so many years?" β
"I will. Now that the end is decided, why bother struggling? It's all just a wasted effort, it's better to give up sooner! It's a pity that no one knows what will happen in the future......" Qiao Liang's mood became depressed again.
"But I know." Lin Wen glanced at Qiao Liang and said quite sincerely.
And Lin's performance was a little too naΓ―ve in Qiao Liang's eyes, and even made him laugh, Qiao Liang's mood suddenly changed a lot: "What do you know?" Think you're a prophet? Do you even know what hasn't happened yet? β
Lin still said with a serious face: "But I just know." β
"Okay! You know what you know! Qiao Liang followed Lin's words and quipped: "Alas, I said that the reason why you, the eldest young master, are so naΓ―ve, is it because you have predicted the future of this country in advance, so you are so confident?" Tell me what the days will be? β
Lin smiled and said, "I don't know, and I don't want to know." Because even if you know, what can you do? Since it cannot change the course of our lives, but only adds to our troubles, then there is no need to know about it. Besides, isn't the greatest joy of life in exploring the unknown? Knowing the hole cards in advance will only make life boring. β
"You guy, there are a set of truths, but isn't it the same as not saying it?" After chatting with Lin for a while, Qiao Liang finally felt much better. He thought about it seriously and said, "You're right, I really shouldn't have given up so soon. Then we'll leave for Shuangyoucheng tomorrow! I will definitely get my father to agree with me, so go to bed early today! β
Lin nodded briskly.
It's just that after Qiao Liang fell asleep, Lin didn't fall asleep, but kept thinking about what he had just predicted.
Yes, Lin prophesied again.
Although Lin knew very well in his heart what kind of side effects the prophecy would bring to his body, he didn't want to see Qiao Liang so sad, so he still secretly prophesied to Qiao Liang's father Maren, wanting to know what the future of the father and son would be.
So if you calculate it this way, Lin really didn't lie to Qiao Liang before. Because from such a distance, he really couldn't hear the conversation between father and son, but in the prophecy he made to Mullen, he saw some clues to the future.
Coincidentally, the object that Maren and the others went to Shuangyou City this time turned out to be the Perez clan who had been at odds with the king before! And Robin, who had always wanted to put Lin to death before, happened to be from this family!
And it's not just the Maren family, Perez and them have also gathered a large number of clansmen from all over the country to enter the capital at the same time, obviously planning something! Therefore, Lin must return to Shuangyou City immediately, otherwise the king is likely to be in big trouble!
