Outside the lobby, the family stepped forward to report, and the guard in charge of the report stared at Lin Chen for a long time, until Lin Chen's heart was furious, and then he entered the lobby alone.

"Why is this guy staring at me? I've been in Lingyun Mountain all this time, and I haven't caused any trouble. My dad's side, I saw my friend not long ago, and there is no situation!"

Lin Chenzhang's second monk was puzzled, how did he know that when this guard reported before, he was extremely angry when he saw Lin Chao'an, and felt that he was going to be unlucky.

Soon, the guards walked out.

"Go in! The patriarch is inside. ”

After that, he gave him a look of self-begging.

Lin Chen walked into the lobby in a daze, and when he looked inside, the lively atmosphere startled him at first, and then he understood.

No wonder the patriarch was heavily guarded, and it turned out that he was looking through how to treat the Wind Spirit Tree. is afraid that the news will leak out, which is why it is so cautious.

After thinking about it again, I also somewhat understood why the guards had that look before.

"Patriarch!" Coming to Lin Chao'an, Lin Chen saluted honestly.

"Say, did you tell others about the Wind Spirit Tree?" Lin Chao'an's face was hideous and murderous.

In that situation, there was no doubt that if Lin Chen's answer made him dissatisfied, the next thing was to slash out with an angry palm.

"No!" Lin Chen shook his head.

Lin Chao'an, father and son, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the situation has not deteriorated to the point where it is too late to make any preparations.

"Remember, this matter must not be known to anyone, it is anyone!" Lin Chaoan waved his hand, and said a little tiredly: "If there is nothing to do, you can go back! How did you enter the Wind Spirit Tree area, I won't pursue you. ”

Lin Chen was speechless, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Patriarch, don't you think that I came to ask to see you to tell you that I already know that the Wind Spirit Tree has withered, right?"

"What else can I do besides this?" Lin Chaoan asked rhetorically.

"The question is, is this possible?" Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"Impossible?" Lin Chaoan was stunned, and then became confused.

Yes, it is a big crime to buy a guard or a master of the ventilation spirit tree area and sneak into the wind spirit tree area. If it weren't for the fact that I really didn't have the spirit to pursue it, it would be normal to be imprisoned for twenty or thirty years.

Who would stupidly run over to inform others that they have committed a great sin?

You must know that the withering of the Wind Spirit Tree is so serious, as the patriarch, it is impossible for him not to know it, and there is no need for someone to report the news.

Lin Wencai obviously figured it out, and asked first, "Then what is the matter with you coming over?"

"I'm here to tell the patriarch that I know why the Wind Spirit Tree withered. Lin Chen explained.

"Oh......"

Lin Wencai subconsciously sighed, and Lin Chaoan also looked suddenly enlightened.

And then...... There is no then.

The two of them looked at Lin Chen like that, as if they were waiting for him to finish speaking and leaving.

Lin Chen is stupid, what does this mean?

In the past few days, Bai has been busy and excited. The patriarch already knew why the Wind Spirit Tree withered, and even found a solution?

But in that case, why find a lot of people to come and look up the information?

"Wait!"

Just when Lin Chen was suspicious, Lin Chao'an suddenly stared at Lin Chen, and stared at Lin Chen viciously: "What did you just say?"

Lin Chen didn't know whether to cry or laugh, these two didn't understand the meaning of their words at all, and they only reacted now.

"I mean, I'm here to tell the Patriarch that I know why the Wind Spirit Tree withered. ”

No, Lin Chen had to say it again.

"Do you know why the Wind Spirit Tree withered?" Lin Wencai looked at Lin Chen in disbelief, his eyes full of shock.

Lin Chao'an was even more unbearable, grabbing Lin Chen's arm, as if he was going to eat someone, and his eyes burst out with a scorching light.

"What is the reason?"

"Deep underground, there is a group of first-class flame rats, and they emit flames at the roots of the trees every once in a while, causing the temperature near the roots to rise, causing the Wind Spirit Tree to be unbearably hot and gradually wither. Lin Chen explained.

"This ......"

Why does it sound unreliable?

Lin Chao'an's father and son looked at each other, a group of low-grade spirit beasts, what are you doing with roasting the wind spirit tree?

Seeing the expressions of the two, Lin Chen knew that they were a little unconvinced, and couldn't help asking, "According to the current situation, how many days can the Wind Spirit Tree support?"

"Within 10 days at most, widespread necrosis begins. Although Lin Chaoan didn't believe it, he still replied very cooperatively.

"Since that's the case, there's still time, wouldn't you know if you went to check it?" Lin Chen said indifferently: "Digging twenty-two or three meters deep, you should be able to find traces of large-scale burrowing of flame rats, and maybe you can catch one or two." ”

"You didn't lie to me?" Lin Chao'an said worriedly.

"Patriarch, I haven't closed my eyes for three days, and the day before yesterday I was seriously injured by a three-grade berserk lion, and I was lucky enough to escape from Ascension. I didn't even take a break, and I hurried without sleep, just to rush back to the clan as soon as possible to report this to you. ”

Lin Chen sighed heavily: "You actually doubt my words, how can this make me embarrassed." ”

"No, it's not ......" Lin Chao'an's old face was a little red: "The main thing is that this matter is too important, if it is proved that you are talking at that time, this blow is too big." ”

"I was seriously injured and rushed back to the clan desperately, regardless of my life to bring back a fake news, what am I trying to do? Until this news is proved to be true or false, the patriarch will not be able to give me any great reward!" Lin Chen reminded.

Lin Chao'an and Lin Wencai's eyes lit up, that's right, Lin Chen never mentioned that he wanted to get any rewards immediately.

This flame rat thing is very likely to be true.

Whether it's true or not, just check it out!

"Wencai, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go to Lingyun Mountain now!"

Without waiting for Lin Wen to agree, Lin Chaoan couldn't wait to rush out of the lobby. In the stunned eyes of the guards, his legs bent slightly, and he jumped forward, like a sharp arrow off the string, and flew directly out of the wall.

"That...... Uncle Cai, I'll go back first if there's nothing to do?" After finding that only Lin Wencai was in front of him, Lin Chen was suddenly a little embarrassed. Because, he didn't take the third son of the middle-aged man in front of him. And this middle-aged man also ran to the cheap dad more than once to complain.

"Since you're here, then eat at my place, so what are you doing outside?" Lin Wencai patted Lin Chen's shoulder with a smile, looked at it a few more times, and nodded frequently: "Not bad, I haven't seen you for half a year, and I'm taller than Uncle Cai." ”

"No, no, I'll just go back and eat. Lin Chen shook his head again and again.

"That's not going to work, you have to stay and eat. Although Xiaohui is not at home, our uncle and nephew can also have a drink. Lin Wencai pulled Lin Chen hard.

Only then did Lin Chen understand that Lin Wencai was not polite at all before, and after thinking about it again, he knew it in his heart.

This is to make friends with yourself and pull relationships!

Don't look at Lin Wencai as the eldest son of the patriarch, if he is replaced by another family, if he has good talent, he will definitely be the most powerful heir to the next patriarch. Even if the talent is not very good, it is not difficult to be an elder.

But the Lin family is different, Lin Chao'an, the patriarch, has no intention of cultivating Lin Wencai as a successor at all. The resources that Lin Wencai has obtained since he was a child are not much better than ordinary clansmen. The talent is not too high, and it is only the strength of the sevenfold peak of the Yellow Order right now.

In addition, Lin Chaoan has never cultivated his own power, and Lin Wencai is strictly forbidden to use his identity to seek benefits, resulting in Lin Wencai having no power to borrow, and now, not to mention the position of elder, he has not even mixed up with the hall master and deputy hall master, but only a deputy director, and he is also the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Hall with very low gold content.

The Lin family has eight elders, thirty-two hall masters, thirty-two deputy hall masters, one hundred and twenty-eight supervisors, and one hundred and twenty-eight deputy directors.

The deputy head of the Foreign Affairs Hall is basically the lowest of all the deputy directors. In other words, according to seniority, not counting the identity of the eldest son of the patriarch, Lin Wencai's powerful position in the Lin family has to be ranked to more than 300.

It's really more than three hundred, because the heads of the Law Enforcement Hall and the Martial Arts Hall, although their status is not as high as that of the deputy director, their power is even greater. At the very least, if the Lin clan is asked to choose one of the positions, 100% will choose the head of the Law Enforcement Hall or the Martial Affairs Hall, and will not choose the deputy head of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Since Lin Wencai took the initiative to send it to the door, how could Lin Chen have a reason to refuse.

"Uncle Cai, I really have something important to do, let's talk about it in a few days after dinner, I invite you to go to the welcome building with Lin Hui. Lin Chen's mind turned for a moment, and he said with a smile: "The patriarch should come back in a few days, and when the time comes, I will ask Uncle Cai to say a few more kind words." Now, I hope my dad will come back. ”

"You don't know, my father is not here, I am bullied every day, and I can't live anymore. ”

"Don't worry, this will definitely help you beat the side drum. Lin Wencai said with a smile: "You can't live yet, Lin Wusi, an elder in the hall, was scolded by you pointing at your nose." ”

"Isn't it because I can't survive that I broke the jar!" Lin Chen said with emotion: "According to me, Uncle Cai should actually rise a liter, Lin Hui's life is not much better than mine." ”

Lin Wencai's heart moved, he understood what he said.

"Uncle Cai, if it's okay, I'll go back first?" Lin Chen asked.

"Go ahead, don't worry, you have made such a great contribution to the family, and the minimum requirement is for your father to be reinstated. Lin Wencai said righteously: "As long as the old man insists, it is useless for anyone to oppose it." ”

"Then Uncle Lao Cai has a lot of good words, and when my father comes back, he will definitely ask him to invite you to drink. Lin Chen gave Lin Wencai a knowing look.

"I'm the one who catches your dad and washes the dust. ”

Lin Wencai smiled, he didn't expect Lin Chen to be so good at it.

Once the matter of the Flame Rat is true, and he can persuade Lin Chaoan to resolutely restore Lin Zhenyue's position as an elder, he believes that Lin Zhenyue will definitely be indispensable at that time to repay the favor and help him rise one level.

A position of supervisor, with Lin Zhenyue's power and means, must be nine out of ten.

Seeing Lin Wencai's joy, when Lin Chen was leaving, he couldn't help but add another fierce fire: "You also know my father's temper, if he really wants to come back, there must be a few hall masters on both sides of the Law Enforcement Hall and the Martial Arts Hall who are unlucky, Uncle Cai has to think about which side he wants to go to in advance, so as not to be in a hurry." The hall master has many more things to do than the deputy director. ”

"Hall, hall master?"

Lin Wencai was dumbfounded, and the tips of his heart were trembling.

The deputy head of a foreign affairs hall is directly promoted to the hall master of the law enforcement hall or the martial affairs hall, this is a step to the sky!
