"Let me tell you, Lin Xiu, I've lost a lot of weight these days. You have to bring me to have a good meal." Fatty's eyes were filled with hidden bitterness, like a virgin girl who had been waiting for a long time. It made Lin Xiu's hair stand on end and he hurriedly agreed.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Lin Xiu sent Fatty back to the Mu family and then wandered aimlessly on the street. He wanted to see if Su Zhenyu had any clues about rescuing his mother these days.
After putting on the human skin mask in a corner, Lin Xiu went to the City Lord Residence. Seeing his arrival, the City Lord's wife naturally exchanged greetings before letting Lin Xiu go to the study room.
It had to be said that Su Zhenyu had really put in a lot of effort these days. The silver hair on his temples looked a lot denser, which made Lin Xiu feel a little apologetic.
Although Su Zhenyu and his mother's friendship was extremely deep, what they were going to do was equivalent to putting the lives of the entire family on their belts. Once it was exposed, the Su family would face a disaster. At that time, all the glory, splendor, wealth, and rank would quickly dissipate like a fleeting cloud.
Lin Xiu was a little touched, then he took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Su Zhenyu, who was in front of the desk and splashing ink.
Su Zhenyu, who took the tea, raised his head slightly and looked at the face that was 60 to 70% similar to his old friend, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
As the City Lord of Mu City, the news of Lin Xiu's return naturally could not be hidden from him, and he even vaguely heard some of Lin Xiu's experience this time.
Lin Xiu's breakthrough in strength made him extremely happy, which meant that they had taken a big step forward from their goal.
In their plan, as long as Lin Xiu could show enough outstanding talent, he would be able to meet the ancestor of the Mu family and explain the pros and cons of the matter clearly. In addition, he would also bribe some members of the elder group. With these two approaches, they would definitely be able to obtain a good result.
Things were progressing in the right direction step by step. Su Zhenyu drank the tea in one gulp and gestured for Lin Xiu to sit down.
"Over the past few days, with the help of your friend, we have successfully bribed many members of the Elder Council. During these few days, they have also started to talk about releasing your mother. Currently, although there is still some controversy regarding this matter within the Mu clan, the reaction is no longer as intense as back then." Su Zhenyu put down the brush in his hand, then sat down on the chair in front of the desk and spoke slowly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle." Lin Xiu called Su Zhenyu uncle with sincerity. Su Zhenyu worked so hard for his family, how could he not be moved?
"Silly child, what are you talking about? Your mother and I have been good friends since we were young. All these years, seeing her in prison, I feel very sorry. " Su Zhenyu sighed and his face was full of loneliness. If it wasn't for the fact that he really had no talent in martial arts, he believed that he would have used his martial arts to rescue his friend.
"But at least the heavens have eyes. If your mother knows that your strength has reached such a level, I believe she will be very pleased."
Lin Xiu stood up from the chair and bowed respectfully to Su Zhenyu.
"Uncle, please rest assured. As long as I can successfully rescue my mother, Lin Xiu will do anything in the future."
This sentence could be said with conviction. Su Zhenyu did not reject Lin Xiu's good intentions. He still held the position of City Lord, but as an ordinary person, his lifespan was limited. Once he stepped down from this position, then the Su family would face a difficult situation. With Lin Xiu's guarantee, as long as the young man in front of him did not die prematurely, he believed that the Su family would also soar in the future.
From the moment Lin Xiu's mother was imprisoned, Su Zhenyu and the others had been planning for this matter for decades. Seeing that Lin Xiu had risen, it was time for their plan to be verified.
It could be said that Su Zhenyu was extremely bold to put the safety of the entire family on Lin Xiu's shoulders. If it was someone else, they might not have such a big heart and courage.
"Lin Xiu, in the next period of time, I will try my best to transmit the progress of your strength to the Old Ancestor's ears. As long as he summons you, then there will be a certain chance to rescue your mother from the You Pagoda in advance." Su Zhenyu stared closely into Lin Xiu's eyes and said earnestly. For this matter, he could be said to have put in a lot of effort, and for Lin Xiu to be able to successfully break through to the Tian Yuan realm at this time, it could be said to be a pillow sent to him when he was sleepy.
Lin Xiu nodded his head heavily. He also knew that this matter was very important. Without a certain degree of confidence, Su Zhenyu would probably not say this. He immediately left at top speed and prepared to return to his pavilion to carefully plan this matter.
Just as he returned to his room, Lin Xiu found an unexpected guest. It was his cousin, Mu Qing 'er.
After the two of them greeted each other, Lin Xiu instructed the fatty to brew a pot of hot tea and served it. Then, he gestured for his cousin to sit down. He was a little puzzled, so he said aloud, "May I know why you're looking for me?"
Mu Qing 'er carefully looked around and after discovering that there were no suspicious people, she carefully said to Lin Xiu, "Cousin, in the past 20 years, you must have suffered a lot. I believe you haven't seen Aunt, right? I want to take you to the You Pagoda where Aunt is imprisoned to visit."
Lin Xiu's heart moved slightly. Mu Qing 'er's words evoked his endless longing for his mother. When he was still a baby, his parents were forced to separate, and his memory of his mother was only a remnant hazy figure.
He had cultivated hard for so many years and had already helped his father cure his injuries. Now, his biggest wish was to be able to reunite with his family and enjoy the happiness of a family from then on, never to be separated again. Could he finally see his mother now?
Seeing Lin Xiu's reaction, Mu Qing 'er frowned slightly. She thought carefully and then said softly, "Cousin, I know that you and Uncle Su are now planning a very big thing. In order to prevent the elders in the clan from finding any clues, I can only take you around the You Pagoda and can't let you really see Aunt."
Mu Qing 'er's expression was slightly apologetic, but Lin Xiu did not care. He was already very satisfied to be able to see his mother from afar. He had waited for so many years, he did not care about these few days.
