Qin Yichen was someone who knew how to be grateful.
Therefore, he had never treated Lin Aotian's family as outsiders. He had always treated Lin Aotian as an elder.
Qin Yichen did not feel good when he saw Lin Aotian's weary smile.
The news that Lin Aoqing had put a bounty on Lin Aotian's head had already been made public. If Lin Aotian left the Li family, he would be killed in less than ten steps.
Lin Aotian's feelings were unimaginable. His brother wanted to kill him.
He did not want to fight with Lin Aoqing for the position of the head of the Lin family. He did not think that he could manage the huge Lin family well. In fact, he felt that Lin Aoqing was the best choice.
However, this was no longer important.
The two of them could not coexist!
"Uncle Lin, it's time for you to make a decision."
Qin Yichen sighed and said.
The smile on Lin Aotian's face froze when he heard that.
That's right.
He had to make a choice.
Lin Aoqing would not let him go. Even if he stood out, Lin Aoqing would not let the direct descendants of the Lin family go.
"What should I do?"
Lin Aotian took a deep breath and looked at Qin Yichen.
"Although the current situation is not optimistic, it has not reached the point of no return yet."
Qin Yichen had a clear understanding of the Lin family's situation based on the information he had obtained from Ye Liangchen. "Although Lin Aoqing is in charge of the Lin family on the surface, he has not taken control of the entire Lin family yet …"
"Lin Aoqing has also completely sealed off all information about you. Those assassins only know that they want to assassinate Lin Shijun's murderer. They don't know your true identity. Otherwise, the elders of the Lin Family would never have allowed Lin Aoqing to do this."
"I am sure that Elder Lin and the elders of the Lin family do not know that you are still alive, much less that you have come to Xuanyun City!"
Upon hearing Qin Yichen's words, Lin Aoqing's expression turned serious.
Right now, he couldn't even leave the Li Mansion, let alone go to the Lin Mansion. Moreover, even if he did spread the news, it was still uncertain whether the news would reach Old Master Lin's ears. It was very likely that Lin Aoqing would be forced into a corner and harm Old Master Lin.
This was what Lin Aotian did not want to see.
"Do you know how my father is doing?"
In the end, Lin Aotian still missed his old father.
"Uncle, don't worry. Although Old Master Lin is seriously ill now, it's not at its worst yet."
With the memories from his previous life, Qin Yichen knew that Lin Aoqing would only become the head of the Lin family a year later. Therefore, Grandfather Lin still had at least a year to live.
"Uncle, can you tell me why Old Master Lin is so ill?"
Although Ye Liangchen had mentioned Old Master Lin's illness before, Qin Yichen felt that there must be more to it than meets the eye.
Lin Aotian calmed himself down and said slowly, "More than ten years ago, my father had a great battle with an enemy. Although he was lucky enough to win, he was seriously injured. Since then, my father's health has been deteriorating day by day. His injuries have not healed completely. Even after paying a huge price to invite a master alchemist from the Imperial City, he could only temporarily stop the deterioration of his injuries."
"Speaking of which, although my father's injuries had already shown signs of healing, after a few days, his injuries worsened. Since then, his condition has only deteriorated."
Hearing this, Qin Yichen more or less understood the situation.
After Old Master Lin fell ill, Lin Aotian, the only son of the Lin family, was exiled. Linking all these together, there was only one person who benefited from this … Lin Aoqing!
It seemed that Lin Aoqing's wild ambition was not something that had only appeared recently.
Old Master Lin had indeed adopted an ungrateful wretch!
"Uncle, if you trust me, then give me one of your tokens. I will sneak into the Lin family and contact Old Master Lin to have a look."
Actually, this matter was very easy to solve. As long as Old Master Lin could stand up and take charge of the Lin family, Lin Aoqing would have nothing to do with it. His current predicament would be solved.
After all, Old Master Lin was once the pillar of the Lin family. He was also the strongest person in the ten cities of Xuanyun. His remaining power was enough to intimidate all the small fries.
"This …"
However, after listening to Qin Yichen's words, Lin Aotian's expression became complicated. After a while, he sighed and said, "Little Chen, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that it is too risky for you to sneak into the Lin family alone."
"Although I have been staying in the Li family all this time, I still know some of the news outside. I'm afraid that Lin Aoqing's determination to kill you is no weaker than his desire to kill me …"
As he spoke, he shook his head.
He could not put Qin Yichen in danger because of his own matters.
"Uncle, don't worry. I have the ability to protect myself. Furthermore, I might even be able to heal Old Master Lin's injuries."
Qin Yichen naturally felt Lin Aotian's concern. He laughed lightly and said confidently.
"What? You can heal my father's injuries? No … that's impossible. Even the alchemy master from Monarch City could not do it. How can you … "
Lin Aotian's eyes were filled with hope. However, he quickly shook his head in disappointment.
"Uncle, do you really think that the alchemy master from Monarch City is stronger than me?"
As he said this, Qin Yichen suddenly exuded a sense of pride and confidence.
Lin Aotian was deeply shaken by these words.
From Qin Yichen's tone, he could tell that Qin Yichen did not care about the alchemy master from Monarch City at all.
He then remembered that the young man in front of him was no longer the little medicine boy from a month ago!
This young man had grown into an existence that he could never hope to reach.
After an hour, Qin Yichen, dressed in a black robe, arrived at the most secluded tavern in the west of Xuanyun City.
The tavern looked like it had existed for a long time. The two faded doors were casually opened, and in front of the door, there were weeds. Among the weeds, there were two majestic stone lions. However, at this moment, the two stone lions were lying on the ground, one to the east and one to the west. Their huge mouths were facing the sky, as if they were telling of their glorious past.
