Chapter 13: Lin Feng's Pain
Lin Zhan looked at Lin Feng strangely in front of him, who seemed to be waiting for his own judgment, and couldn't help asking, "If you say this, are you unwilling to accept this marriage gift from the royal family." ”
Lin Feng almost subconsciously wanted to say that he didn't want to, but when Lin Feng saw Lin Zhan's eyes that were forcing him to look at him, he couldn't help but panic. The words that were already on the lips of the mouth could not be spoken.
Lin Feng's hesitation naturally couldn't escape Lin Zhan's eyes, so Lin Zhan opened his mouth and asked, "This so-called marriage is a great thing for both you and the Lin family. If you yourself are interested in this, then you just do what you want, and what does this have to do with me. Why do you feel ashamed of me, and why should I blame you?"
Even if Lin Zhan didn't pay attention to the government of the secular empire on weekdays, he knew how much a royal marriage was for a family.
Although this kind of political marriage is more about the exchange of interests between the two parties. But having an imperial princess as the daughter-in-law of her own family will be a great boost to the family's prestige and power.
Not to mention how much benefit Lin Feng, who is a horse master, can get in this.
So whether it was for the sake of the family or for Lin Feng himself, Lin Feng had no reason to refuse this marriage, let alone refuse for the sake of a mere Lin Zhan.
So after struggling for a long time, Lin Feng still approved of this marriage in his heart. What Lin Feng is entangled with is not whether to agree to this marriage, and this marriage is not something that he can influence by Lin Feng alone. What really tormented Lin Feng was how to face Lin Zhan calmly.
Lin Tianxiao has worked hard for so many years in order to create a bright future for Lin Zhan. saw that he was about to succeed, but he was snatched away by his brother. Lin Feng really didn't know how to face Lin Zhan.
But now, when Lin Feng really confessed all this to Lin Zhan, Lin Zhan asked himself such a question.
Why do you feel ashamed of me, and why should I blame you?
If Lin Zhan didn't say this sentence seriously, if it weren't for the fact that Lin Zhan had never joked, Lin Feng would really think that Lin Zhan was saying this to be sarcastic.
But in terms of effect, Lin Zhan's attitude made Lin Feng feel uncomfortable even more than Lin Zhan really sarcastic himself.
Lin Feng felt insulted by what he had been insisting on. What he thought was big didn't matter to Lin Zhan, and Lin Zhan didn't even understand why he wanted to be nice to him.
Maybe Lin Zhan really didn't understand, because he had never looked at these things in his eyes. But what he said just now was a great stimulus to Lin Feng.
Hearing Lin Zhan's words, Lin Feng was at a loss at first, not understanding what Lin Zhan meant by asking. When he slowly came back to his senses, his expression changed from dazed to surprised, and he was a little ashamed in the middle, because Lin Zhan's words stabbed him the most unwilling to face. But in the end, Lin Feng felt more of a kind of anger, which had an element of annoyance and anger, but more importantly, Lin Feng felt that Lin Zhan was humiliating himself.
"Why? You actually asked me why? Don't you understand what I'm doing this for?"
Lin Feng's reaction greatly surprised Lin Zhan, and Lin Zhan couldn't understand why Lin Feng had such a big reaction. Of course, I didn't understand why I asked this.
Lin Feng's face turned red, and he said loudly: "You really don't understand? Okay, since you don't understand, then I'll tell you clearly." ”
"The major forces in the imperial capital have been eyeing each other for many years. Grandpa has worked hard for so many years with a cheeky face, and my father has worked hard to take care of it for so many years, and this time the second uncle did not hesitate to take the risk of asking for rewards directly to His Majesty the Emperor. What is the purpose of the Lin family's efforts to do everything? It's not all for you, they want to create a bright future for you, so that you can rely on it for the rest of your life and gain a foothold in the Heavenly Star Empire. Now I think I'm about to succeed, but in the end, the fruits of all this have fallen on my head in a daze, don't you understand what that means?"
Lin Feng's expression became a little hideous at this moment, and he shouted almost out of shape: "This means that I, Lin Feng, your brother, have robbed my own brother's future, robbed my own brother's wife, and ruined my own brother's future." ”
"In the past few years, the news of the family's courtship for you has spread in the upper echelons of the empire. Everyone knows that the family is asking you for a princess to be your wife. From now on, the person who has been given marriage has actually become me. You know how much I care about this, how you want me to face you, how you want me to be worthy of you, and how you will think of me in the future. What will outsiders say, what will they think of me? Don't you understand any of these things?"
Lin Zhan's heart jumped, Lin Feng's words reminded him. At first, Lin Zhan didn't pay much attention to this so-called marriage, this matter was too far from what he had feared before.
But now that I think about it, it doesn't seem that simple to give the marriage.
After yelling without scruples and saying all the real pain in his heart, Lin Feng felt that the strength in his body was drained by these few words at once. Lin Feng involuntarily leaned his body against the pillar behind him, losing his usual chic demeanor, but having more embarrassment that he didn't have before.
However, Lin Feng's appearance fell in Lin Zhan's eyes, which made Lin Zhan feel a great impulse.
Lin Zhan never thought that Lin Feng was so entangled and the reason for suffering was actually like this.
It's not that Lin Zhan is so slow that he can't think of this, but that Lin Zhan didn't think in this direction from the beginning.
The Lin family's care for Lin Zhan Lin Zhan was clear in his heart, but now Lin Zhan didn't dare to accept this care, so he deliberately rejected the Lin family. Lin Zhan thought that he had never done anything for the Lin family, so Lin Zhan naturally thought that the Lin family would not and should not do anything for himself. Lin Zhan didn't want the Lin family to do anything for him.
But when Lin Feng shouted out the real pain in his heart in front of Lin Zhan, Lin Zhan was finally shocked. Lin Zhan also found that what he had thought was too simple.
It's not that if you don't want the Lin family, you won't think about yourself. No matter how cold he behaves on weekdays, he is the heir of the Lin family, and this will not change no matter what. No matter who his soul is, his current body still has the blood of the Lin family flowing in it.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Lin family to take care of themselves because of their attitude. Because this is a kind of bond imprinted in the blood. Not only will it not weaken, but the Lin family will think more carefully about themselves because of their deliberate coldness, and they will also behave more carefully in front of themselves because they can't figure out their own thoughts. Just like at the family feast just now.
Not to mention anything else, it can be seen from this incident that the Lin family has thought much more about themselves than for Lin Feng and Lin Ling over the years.
But Lin Feng didn't feel too unfair because of this, and even took it for granted that his younger brother was "too weak" so he deserved more protection.
Lin Feng himself vowed to protect his younger brother from the beginning.
In these years, Lin Zhan rarely appeared outside the Lin family. But various rumors about Lin Zhan had already begun to circulate in the imperial capital. Naturally, there are also rumors like "Lin Zhan is a useless waste".
Although Lin Zhan is famous for this, no one dares to say that Lin Zhan is a waste unscrupulously in these years. Because everyone who said this was greeted by Lin Feng.
From the princes and grandsons to the sons of the family, no one dared to say Lin Zhan's rights and wrongs in front of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's strength is definitely at the top of the young generation of the Celestial Star Empire, and coupled with the background of the Lin family, Lin Feng has become the leader of the younger generation of the Celestial Star Empire. In the Celestial Star Empire, the generations who dare to argue with Lin Feng head-on can count a slap.
In fact, except for some old guys, even some ministers in the current court were unwilling to offend Lin Feng easily.
And those children of the family recognized Lin Feng's status at the same time as admitting another fact.
Dragons have reverse scales, and they will be angry when they touch them. For Lin Feng, a young dragon who had already begun to take off, Lin Zhan was undoubtedly his reverse scale.
From this, it can be seen how much Lin Feng loves his younger brother.
And all this is because Lin Zhan's surname is Lin, he is the heir of the Lin family and the descendant of the Lin family.
Born in such a family, Lin Zhan really didn't know whether to say lucky or unlucky.
If the Lin family can be a little more powerful, be realistic. Don't put so much thought into Lin Zhan, a waste, and don't be so good to Lin Zhan, then Lin Zhan will also not have too much affection for the Lin family. In this way, when Lin Zhan decides to leave the Lin family and return to the God Realm one day in the future, he will have a lot less worries and be much easier.
Because in Lin Zhan's view, those so-called "relatives" are just a group of strangers living together. You don't need to pay too much attention to it at all.
After all, the human world is just Lin Zhan's temporary refuge, not his final destination. Lin Zhan couldn't imagine what it would be like for him to remember this human realm after he returned to the God Realm.
This is the fundamental reason why Lin Zhan has been so cold to the Lin family for so many years. Lin Zhan believes that such a result is the best result for both himself and the Lin family.
Although Lin Zhan's surname is Lin, he and the Lin family are two worlds after all.
Lin Zhan has worked silently for thirteen years, but what happened today completely shattered Lin Zhan's previous illusions, and also made Lin Zhan understand how wishful thinking his previous thoughts were.
Lin Zhan also finally understood at this moment what Lin Tianxiao, a mortal, often said.
People who are bound together by blood are relatives wherever they go.
This sentence may be clearer when placed here by Lin Zhan.
No matter how far Lin Zhan felt from the Lin family, in the eyes of the Lin family, Lin Zhan was their relative.
Lin Zhan is his grandson, his son, his nephew, his younger brother, and his elder brother.
Lin Zhan, his surname is Lin.
Lin Zhan, who understood this, faced his brother for the first time in thirteen years, and it was also the first time that the Lin family had paid for him.
Looking at Lin Feng's somewhat embarrassed appearance in front of him, and then thinking about the cautious demeanor of the Lin family when facing him just now, as if they were facing a great enemy. Can Lin Zhan still be as calm as before?
People can be ruthless without plants and trees, and even stones will be heated one day. What's more, it is the Lin family's uncomplaining and unrepentant dedication for so many years. Even though Lin Zhan was once a god who ignored everything, he was now just a mortal of flesh and blood.
In the face of such a Lin family, what kind of choice can Lin Zhan make?
Lin Zhan has no choice.
Lin Zhan really didn't care about the impact of this incident on himself, but now he couldn't care less about the impact of this incident on the Lin family.
And now Lin Zhan must first appease Lin Feng, who is a little out of shape. Help him open the knot.
Lin Zhan, who was once one of the few strongest beings in this world, knew very well in his heart that if Lin Feng couldn't open this knot now. With the improvement of Lin Feng's strength, sooner or later, this heart knot will become Lin Feng's heart demon.
Once the demons are generated, the light ones will not be able to gain an inch in strength from now on, and the heavy ones will become wasted from then on. Either way, this is not a good thing for Lin Feng. Unless Lin Feng can completely defeat this inner demon.
But how many people have been able to defeat the demons since ancient times?
