The pace quickened, and after a while, Lin Chen caught up with Lin Chao'an.

took Lin Chen to the edge of a small forest, and made sure that there was no one around, Lin Chaoan looked at Lin Chen, and a thick smile suddenly bloomed on his old face.

slapped Lin Chen on the shoulder, and couldn't help but praise: "Good boy, I have always listened to rumors, and I think you are a rotten son who cannot be carved, and you are the biggest drag on Zhenyue." Unexpectedly, the catastrophe of our Lin family was actually solved by you. ”

"Have the flame rats been driven away?" Lin Chen asked.

"It's being arrested, and I've already sent someone to notify the Eight Great Elders to bring someone over to help, I believe it won't take a few days to catch it all. I was worried that there would be no one in the clan, so I rushed back first. Lin Chao said happily.

"Catch?" Lin Chen's face turned strange.

Lin Chao'an nodded, and said with a long sigh: "Although according to the current progress, it will take at least a few days to catch them all, and there may be 1,800 wind spirit trees that will not last until then." But this loss, our Lin family can still afford it. As long as that piece of red loess is still there, most of the wind spirit trees can be preserved and cultivated slowly, and it will not take a hundred years to regain their prosperity. ”

"That...... I don't know of any way to catch the Flame Rat more easily, though. Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "But I have a way to drive the flame rats out in a short period of time." ”

"Drive it out in a short time?" Lin Chaoan was stunned.

Lin Chen nodded.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Lin Chaoan couldn't wait to slap him and fly him out, this was related to nearly one-third of the Wind Spirit Tree. Although he said it lightly, it was only compared to the withering of the Wind Spirit Tree.

If they wanted to make up for this one-third of the Wind Spirit Tree, the Lin family would have to tighten their belts for at least a hundred years.

"You didn't ask, and besides, you didn't believe that the Wind Spirit Tree withered was caused by the Flame Rat. Before I could explain all the habits of the flame rats, you went to Lingyun Mountain to verify them. Lin Chen's face was aggrieved, and it wouldn't be explained that he was killed because he did it purely to maximize the credit.

Lin Chaoan was speechless, say so, blame me?

Lin Chen explained: "Flame rats like to burrow and eat decaying spiritual materials, but in addition to this, they hate cold and damp environments. ”

Lin Chaoan was not stupid, and immediately understood the meaning of this: "You mean, as long as you are satisfied with the cold and dampness, you can drive out the flame rats?"

Lin Chen slapped out with a sycophant: "The patriarch is wise, find some ice water or cold water to pour it in, keep those flame rats jumping up and down, and immediately escape without a trace." ”

"Then will they come back?" Lin Chao'an wondered.

"Lingyun Mountain is not only a group of spirit trees like the Wind Spirit Tree, why should they venture over again?" Lin Chen shook his head and said, "What's more, even if we run back again, we find that the situation is not right, whether we drive them away or hunt them one by one, we have plenty of time." ”

"Yes, that's right!" Lin Chaoan was overjoyed and slapped his face suddenly: "I'll go back to Lingyun Mountain now." ”

With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait, Patriarch, I still have something to say!" Lin Chen said hurriedly.

"Could it be that this flame rat has other habits?" Lin Chao'an wondered.

"It has nothing to do with the Flame Rat, what is that, it has something to do with me......" Lin Chen wanted to speak and stopped.

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Lin Chaoan stared at Lin Chen for a long time, and suddenly realized: "You mean what happened just now, right?"

"This is one of them. Lin Chen nodded.

Anyway, with his own speed, it won't take him half a day to get to the Wind Spirit Tree planting area. And more than 3,000 wind spirit trees, the most seriously withered, can still last for a day or two, Lin Chaoan is not in a hurry.

After a little consideration, Lin Chaoan muttered: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you are wrong, you will be punished." You can't ignore your faults just because you're meritorious. ”

"I can use some of the credit to offset the fault! Besides, it's not entirely my fault, at most I shot too hard in self-defense. Lin Chen pouted secretly, he knew that once Lin Chao'an withdrew from the matter of the Wind Spirit Tree, he would immediately have to turn back into that righteous patriarch.

"This ......" Lin Chaoan subconsciously wanted to do the same, after all, Lin Chen's contribution was too great, relatively speaking, the matter of Lin Yaohui and Lin Weitian was really not worth mentioning. But this is the same as the 1,800 Wind Spirit Trees, only relatively.

The matter of Lin Yaohui and Lin Weitian is held accountable, and Lin Chen cannot escape the death penalty.

When the time comes, you can't really kill Lin Chen, and then reward him with a large number of priceless funeral goods, right?

Moreover, Lin Chen's credit is so great that it is beyond reward. Offset a part, and it won't be a headache how to reward him when the time comes.

Seeing Lin Chao's peace of mind, Lin Chen felt a lot more relieved. He was afraid that this patriarch would not be able to eat the ancients, and he would have to reward and punish clearly.

"That's it, when the matter of the Flame Rat is settled, I will get together with the eight elders and discuss what kind of reward I should give you to offset these mistakes. Lin Chao'an pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart.

Then he continued: "Tell me what reward you want, and I will fight for you when the time comes." If it's not too demanding, I can even just say yes. ”

"My father!" Lin Chen said without hesitation.

Lin Chaoan couldn't help frowning: "It's okay if you want your father to come back, but I want your father to return to the Elder Body, or even take charge of the Martial Arts Hall again." You should know how much resistance there is. ”

"That can't erase my credit, right?" Lin Chen said unceremoniously: "When my father comes back, the resistance is nothing more than the Third Elder and the Eighth Elder. But the Lin family is not the Lin family of the three elders and the eight elders. Of course, if you want to say that the current patriarch of the Lin family is the third elder and not you, or that you deliberately ignore my merits because you don't want to offend them, I admit it!"

Lin Chaoan smiled bitterly: "Are you provoking me?"

"I'm telling the truth. Lin Chen said disapprovingly: "I provided the reason for the withering of the Wind Spirit Tree and saved the entire family from the huge crisis they were facing, is it enough to offset my mistakes?"

"Enough!" Lin Chaoan nodded, not only enough, but no matter how serious the fault was, it was enough to make it ten or twenty times more serious.

"I provide the habits of the Flame Rat to save the family from the astonishing losses that will take hundreds of years to make up, and it's not too much to give me an elder, right?" Lin Chen continued.

"Isn't this credit all together?" Lin Chao'an said in amazement.

"Why are they together? How can saving the family crisis and recovering the family's amazing losses be together?" Lin Chen asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Lin Chao'an thought about it, and he was really a little unable to refute it, and said helplessly: "It is not too much to be able to recover the amazing losses that will take hundreds of years to make up for the family, and to promote you as a member of the elders." ”

"In order to inform the family of the most important news as soon as possible, I rushed over without hesitation knowing that there was a four-rank spirit beast in front of me. As a result, although he escaped by luck, his internal organs were seriously displaced, several fractures were broken, and the spiritual power disorder in the dantian was on the verge of going mad, but he still did not sleep and rushed to the family station at the risk of dying at any time. Lin Chen said righteously: "With my credit, it's not difficult to change from the Foreign Affairs Hall to the Martial Affairs Hall, right?"

Lin Chaoan was dumbfounded, can this also be split into a credit?

"I'm only eighteen years old, and I can defeat Lin Yaohui and Lin Weitian in one move, this potential is also a great achievement for the family, right?" Lin Chen said indifferently: "At the very least, the third-generation patriarch heir is none other than me at the moment." ”

"It seems to be so, so what?" Lin Chaoan felt that he was taken into the ditch by Lin Chen's words.

"So, with my merits and potential, even if I am an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, it is not too much to let my father be promoted to the next level?" Lin Chen asked rhetorically.

Lin Chaoan smiled bitterly, this is really not too much.

"If I really want to talk about it, I am not arrogant or impatient, I don't want to reciprocate, but I just want to get back what my father lost because of me, which is actually a great contribution to the family. Lin Chen said quietly.

"But the problem is ......" Lin Chaoan had a headache, but he didn't mind Lin Zhenyu ******** the martial arts hall, and he didn't think that Lin Chen's request was too much. But others don't think so, after all, this seriously violates their interests.

"The problem is that the Third Elder and the Eighth Elder don't agree?" Lin Chen sighed, "If the Third Elder is not selfish, he will not have any loss at all. As for the Eighth Elder, the loss was only one level of demotion, anyway, Lin Weitian had already made way for him, and he would just go back to the Law Enforcement Hall to be a hall master. My junior can give up most of the credit for the family, and as elders, they don't have this awareness, so it's too chilling for the hearts of the clansmen. ”

"That's right, but they really want to oppose it......" Lin Chaoan was depressed, why is this kid in front of him so difficult?

"What's the use of them really objecting? Unless it's unreasonable, I'll slowly take out these credits one by one and discuss them, which one is too much?" Lin Chen asked.

Lin Chaoan's eyes lit up, yes!

It is possible that the Third Elder and the Eighth Elder will win over a few elders to oppose together, but it is impossible for them to win over all the elders to oppose together. If you really want to separate and discuss one credit one by one like Lin Chen, and then use Lin Chen's words to squeeze the three elders and the eighth elders, it is really not difficult for Lin Zhenyu to return to the martial arts hall.

Lin Chao'an couldn't help but look at Lin Chen differently, with his mind, he might have been taken to the ditch at the beginning, and now Lin Chen's last sentence was obviously reminding him what to do, how could he not understand.

This kid shouted at himself purely to use himself as a gunman. Moreover, where he wants to pierce this gun, he has to follow his ideas.

However, if you are a gunman, you should be a gunman!

Who told others to make great contributions, and the demands were not too much?

Although Lin Chaoan was a little unhappy with Lin Chen, the mountain he was pressing on his heart had been removed, and he was in a very good mood these days. In addition, he is a generous person, so he has no intention of bothering with Lin Chen.
