"Old Master Lin, I came to save you because I was asked to do so by someone else," Lin Fan said.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Qin Yichen glanced at Black Ghost and spoke.
"Someone asked you to do this?"
Other than Black Ghost, no one knew who he was.
Then, Black Ghost sighed and said, "Big Brother Lin, this grandmaster was found by Ao Tian. Although he has been wandering outside all these years, he has always been thinking about you …"
"Aotian?"
The smile on Lin Huarong's face froze. Then, his expression became complicated. There was anger, sorrow, and most of all, longing.
After all, he was his own flesh and blood!
Although Lin Huarong had ruthlessly chased him out of the family, he had only wanted to punish him. Unfortunately, he had fallen ill and was bedridden. As for Lin Aotian, he had been wandering outside for more than ten years!
"Is he well?"
Lin Huarong's lips trembled as he asked Qin Yichen this question.
"He's not well!"
Qin Yichen said calmly.
Hearing this, Lin Huarong was stunned. Then, he sighed. "That's true. He has been away for more than ten years. I just hope that after all these years, his temper has improved …"
"Brother Lin, isn't Aotian's temper the same as yours?"
At this time, Black Ghost interjected with a sentence.
Lin Huarong's mouth twitched. He glared at Black Ghost and the latter shut up.
"Where is he now? Ask him to come back …"
"Ask him to come back?"
Qin Yichen sneered, "I say, old man, do you know the situation of your Lin family now? Do you know how much risk I've taken to come here to treat you? Don't even mention coming back. If he shows his face, his head will roll! "
"His head will roll?"
Lin Huarong was startled at first. Then, he glared at them and said in a dignified manner, "Who dares to touch my son?!"
"Lin Aoqing!"
Qin Yichen said the name slowly.
"Aoqing?"
Lin Huarong's expression changed. Finally, he said, "Could there be a misunderstanding?"
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you should ask your own brother."
After Qin Yichen finished speaking, he walked to the side and sat down cross-legged to meditate.
"Old Hei, what happened all these years? Tell me the truth! "
Lin Huarong's eyes fell on Black Ghost.
"Brother Lin, the situation isn't looking good right now …"
Black Ghost was Lin Aotian's strategist. Naturally, he could see through many things. Although Lin Aotian might not be able to accept it, Lin Aotian's life was hanging by a thread. Black Ghost could only tell the truth.
…
At this time, in the main hall of the Lin family, besides Lin Aoqing, there were three other people wearing luxurious clothing. One of them was even sitting at the head of the hall. The other two people were sitting at the side like guards. It was obvious that the man sitting at the head of the hall was their leader.
The man sitting at the head of the hall looked to be in his twenties or thirties. His black hair was draped over his shoulders. His sword-like eyebrows were slanted upwards. His eyes were sharp and no one dared to look him in the eye. He was cold and arrogant, but his aura was threatening.
Even the two men who seemed to be his bodyguards gave off a strong sense of oppression. Judging from the aura that was faintly emitted from their bodies, they were even stronger than Black Ghost.
The two of them were actually peak Martial Grandmasters!
Lin Aoqing naturally bowed down to them as if they were his three grandfathers. He was trying to please them.
Just as they were talking, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. Soon after, Lin Shiyun ran in in a panic.
"How can you be so flustered? What are you doing?"
Lin Aotian turned around and frowned. He immediately scolded.
"Fa … father."
Lin Shiyun was sweating profusely. However, when he stole a glance at the three extraordinary men in the hall, he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
"These lords are not outsiders. If you have something to say, just say it."
Lin Aoqing frowned again. He did not dare to let these people leave. He immediately said without regard for them.
Lin Shiyun wiped his sweat and smiled at the three people in a fawning manner. Then, he said, "Father, just now I saw the person that Black Ghost brought. He was treating that old man who didn't die …"
"What's so strange about that? Did Black Ghost bring him here to play?"
Lin Aoqing said nonchalantly. However, halfway through his words, he suddenly quivered. He stared at Lin Shiyun and a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes.
"Father, the person he brought this time seems to have some ability. I heard from outside that Old Man Lin's condition seems to have improved …"
If Old Man Lin's condition did not improve, would these people be so excited?
"Impossible. The person that Black Ghost brought is at most a level one alchemist. How could he expel the poison of the God-Corroding Water? Moreover, that old man has been poisoned for more than a day or two. Even if he can catch his breath, they won't be able to do anything! "
Lin Aoqing had a cold smile on his face, as if everything was under his control. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "That's right. Did you see what that alchemist looked like?"
"I didn't see … When I was about to take a closer look, Third Elder and Fourth Elder came out of the room, so …"
As Lin Shiyun spoke, he quietly looked at the three important people and answered with trepidation.
When he heard this, Lin Aoqing's face darkened. However, because there were outsiders present, he did not dare to vent his anger.
"That, Lin Aoqing, since you have matters to attend to at home, then we'll talk another day."
Suddenly, the man sitting at the head of the hall lightly knocked on the wooden table beside him and said with a faint smile.
As he stood up, the two people sitting on either side of him followed behind him and walked out of the hall.
When they reached the door, the man suddenly turned around and said to Lin Aoqing, "Lin Aoqing, I can't be bothered to ask about your family's matters. However, as long as you give me the thing I want, I, Du Hua, can help you get it even if it's the entire Xuanyun City, let alone a mere Lin Family."
When he heard these words, Lin Aoqing's expression immediately softened. He respectfully bowed and sent the man who called himself Du Hua off with his eyes.
"Father, who are they? How dare they say such words?"
After the three of them left, Lin Shiyun could not help but swallow his saliva as he asked in a trembling voice.
"Imperial City's Du Family, Du Hua!"
Lin Aoqing took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart as he slowly said.
"Imperial City's Du Family?!"
When he heard these words, Lin Shiyun's face was filled with extreme shock.
The Du Family was one of the four great families in Imperial City. It was an existence that they could only look up to!
And this Du Hua had two such powerful guards with him. It was likely that his position in the Du Family was not low. It was no wonder that he dared to say such arrogant words.
A mere Xuanyun City was indeed nothing in front of the giants of Imperial City.
"Shiyun, seal off all news. Do not let that old fart know about Lin Aotian."
In order to prevent Lin Huarong from waking up, Lin Aoqing still carefully instructed.
"Just in case, I even took out that thing. As long as Du Hua is here, no one can stop me from taking the position of Family Head!"
He did this because of the Li Family's attitude.
Even though on the surface he controlled the entire Lin Family, those direct line elders did not care about him. Unless the Li Family attacked the Lin Family, the possibility of those direct line elders intervening was extremely low.
If the Li Family brought Lin Aotian over, they would probably turn against them!
"Yes."
