Suddenly interrupted, the luxuriously dressed envoy frowned. He was clearly displeased.
"No manners." The well-dressed envoy glanced at the two of them, then raised his head. His hands were still behind his back, and his expression was arrogant.
Lin Zhen glanced at the well-dressed envoy, then scolded Lin Zhan in a low voice. He was slightly angry.
Right now, he and Lin Yan were receiving a 'distinguished guest'. Being disturbed in the middle of it was a loss of the family's dignity. If it was an ordinary guest, it would be fine, but the well-dressed envoy in front of him was a member of the 'County Mansion'. He had a high position and even he had to give him face.
"I …" Lin Zhan scratched his head in confusion. He did not know why his father was angry.
"I asked Big Brother to bring me here." Lin Feng took a step forward and interrupted.
Hearing this unfamiliar address, Lin Zhen was startled, and then his brows furrowed even more.
However, in this kind of situation, it was not good for him to communicate too much with Lin Feng.
"After I finish dealing with this matter, I will look for you." Lin Zhen's eyes deepened as he whispered to Lin Feng.
"Can you handle it?" Lin Feng smiled faintly. His gaze swept over the well-dressed messenger and his entourage. It was as if he had stolen the limelight from the host and completely disregarded Lin Zhen and Lin Yan. Just by looking at his arrogant manner, one could see that. Most importantly —
He had heard their conversation just now.
It was obvious that the Patriarch, Lin Zhen, had failed to 'bribe' him, and was now in a dilemma.
"This …" Looking at each other, Lin Zhen knew that he could not hide it from Lin Feng. He closed his eyes, indicating that the matter was not easy to handle.
"Leave it to me." Lin Feng smiled and nodded to Lin Zhen.
The latter was slightly stunned, and Lin Yan's expression changed greatly. He said, "Lin Feng, these are distinguished guests, you must not …"
"Don't worry, I won't act recklessly." Lin Feng raised his hand to interrupt. He couldn't help but laugh.
In Lin Yan's eyes, he seemed to have become a boorish fellow who would attack at the slightest disagreement.
However, Lin Feng didn't explain too much. Instead, he took a step forward, turned around, and faced the well-dressed emissary.
"Hello," Lin Feng said with a smile.
The well-dressed envoy frowned, feeling extremely displeased.
However, he didn't know what the Lin clan meant by sending such an immature junior to receive him. What was this?
With a cold expression, the luxuriously dressed emissary was about to speak.
Suddenly — —
A black light flashed in front of his eyes, and the expression of the well-dressed emissary froze. His mouth opened wide enough to swallow an egg. Staring at the plain black token in the hand of the ordinary-looking young man, the luxuriously dressed envoy was completely dumbfounded.
Lin Zhen and Lin Zhan were also startled, not knowing what to do.
Only Lin Yan's eyes widened in shock as he spoke in disbelief, "This is … the Dark Light Token???"
Boom!
The Dark Light Token!
The four words fell like thunder.
Hua! Hua! Hua! In an instant, there was an orderly kneeling sound. Led by the well-dressed emissary, dozens of county city's martial artists knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Lord." His expression and demeanor were no longer arrogant and bossy. It was as if a soldier had met a general, not daring to move at all.
Lin Zhan was a little dumbfounded, and Lin Zhen's face was filled with joy. He looked at Lin Yan, and both of them nodded.
However, they didn't expect that Lin Feng would have the legendary Dark Light Token that represented a noble status!
This was the token of the county city's governor, Wang Mo.
Seeing the token was the same as seeing the person himself.
"Rise," Lin Feng said indifferently.
"Thank you, Lord." The martial artists led by the well-dressed emissary immediately stood up. However, other than the well-dressed emissary, everyone else bowed their heads, not daring to look directly at Lin Feng.
"May I ask, Lord, this is …" The well-dressed emissary asked carefully.
"This matter is somewhat related to me. Do you still want to investigate?" Lin Feng smiled indifferently, and his eyes flashed with light.
"I dare not." The well-dressed emissary bowed his head and said.
"How about this? Don't let your brothers come here for nothing. Accept the 'gift'," Lin Feng said slowly.
Lin Zhen and Lin Yan looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction.
However, they didn't expect that Lin Feng, at such a young age, knew so much about the ways of the world.
The Dark Light Token could solve the current situation, but after the well-dressed emissary returned to the county city, there might be more variables. As the saying goes, if you eat someone's food, you should have a soft hand. Once the well-dressed emissary accepted the gift, there wouldn't be too much of a problem even if he returned.
"This …" The well-dressed emissary hesitated.
Once he accepted the 'gift', it meant that this matter would be left unsettled.
But what if he didn't accept it?
"Aren't you going to give me some face?" Lin Feng's voice was calm, but the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
His face changed so quickly that the well-dressed emissary's heart trembled.
Oh no!
"I dare not, I dare not." The luxuriously dressed emissary smiled flatteringly. He turned around and shouted, "Come, take the Patriarch's greeting gift and distribute it to the brothers." The people behind him were immediately overjoyed. They hurriedly ran over in high spirits. The 'gift' sent by the Lin clan couldn't be substandard.
Using both the carrot and the stick!
Lin Feng's smile returned to his face, and he was quite satisfied.
"Brother, what's your name?" Lin Feng chatted casually.
"I am Wang Yi, the nephew of the county city lord." The well-dressed emissary, Wang Yi, hurriedly introduced himself. He was very happy.
To be able to make this important person with the Dark Light Token remember his name, this trip was very worthwhile. It was much more valuable than the box of 'gift'. In fact, with his strength and status, he naturally didn't lack money.
"It's a long journey, stay for a meal later." Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!" Wang Yi nodded and beamed.
To be able to establish a relationship with this important person in front of him, he naturally couldn't ask for anything more.
Lin Zhen and Lin Yan nodded in realization.
Only now did they know that Wang Yi had such a strong background. No wonder he was so stubborn and couldn't be bribed.
"Whew …" Lin Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. His heart was finally at ease. With Lin Feng's help, this matter was finally settled. In addition to Lin Yan's side, the Union of Artificers also didn't make any moves. The entire matter seemed to have come to a perfect conclusion.
"There shouldn't be any more trouble, right?" Lin Zhen thought to himself.
His eyelids kept twitching, as if he had forgotten something.
…
At the banquet.
With Lin Feng taking the lead, everything went smoothly.
The cultivators of the county city followed Wang Yi's lead in the first place. Now that Wang Yi was trying his best to curry favor with Lin Feng, the subordinates of this major character, the gifts they received were limp. Naturally, everyone was happy. The meal was joyous and harmonious, and it was incomparably lively. Everyone laughed and played together.
The one who was the happiest was undoubtedly Lin Zhen.
Now, not only had the matter been resolved perfectly, he had also established a relationship with Wang Yi, the nephew of the prefecture city lord.
It could be said that the road had taken a turn for the better.
"Hey, brother." Lin Zhan approached and whispered, "That black token is so awesome? How did you get it? "
Lin Feng smiled and said, "I exchanged it with a favor."
That day, the prefecture city lord, Wang Mo, had given him this Dazzling Black Token because of Shi Zhixin.
To be exact, it was because of the person behind Shi Zhixin.
The Sage, Shakyara.
At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect that he would be able to avoid a potential 'crisis' with this token. He was quite lucky. Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he looked at the enthusiastic and cheerful people of the prefecture city. He felt that 'power' was indeed useful sometimes.
"Can you let me take a look, brother?" Lin Zhan's eyes lit up as he asked curiously.
Lin Feng smiled faintly and casually handed it over.
Looking at it from top to bottom, Lin Zhan was quite curious like a big boy.
"You like it? I'll give it to you. "Lin Feng smiled and said.
"Eh?" Lin Zhan was shocked.
"I have no use for it. You can have it." Lin Feng said softly.
"Really?" Lin Zhan's eyes lit up.
"I've already said it. How can it be false?" Lin Feng smiled and said, "Aren't we brothers? What's mine is yours. Don't stand on ceremony."
"Oh, oh." Lin Zhan was very happy. He put his arm around Lin Feng's shoulder and said, "Well said. This is how brothers should be! Brother, I really like you. You're much more generous than Second Brother. " Lin Zhan gave him a thumbs up and patted his chest. "In the future, I'll take care of you in Shiluo Commandery. If you have any problems, just come to me."
"You said it yourself." Lin Feng laughed.
The Dazzling Black Token wasn't very useful to him.
But to the clan, it was very useful. This was evident from the current situation.
Giving this Dazzling Black Token to Lin Zhan was equivalent to giving it to Patriarch Lin Zhen. And he could use it to build a good relationship with Lin Zhan. It was killing two birds with one stone. Previously, he didn't have such intentions. But after interacting with Lin Zhan, he realized that his mastery of the Starry Sky Pupil was even better than his father's!
The student had surpassed the master!
Looking at Lin Zhan's happy expression, Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he smiled slyly.
As the saying goes, reciprocity is reciprocity.
…
The banquet soon came to an end.
Wang Yi and the others were satisfied and left happily.
Lin Zhen also let out a long breath. No matter what, the effects of the civil war over the past few months could finally come to an end. Although the clan's vitality had been greatly damaged, its foundation had not been shaken. At least, it still retained its strength. It could slowly recover in a few decades or even a hundred years.
After all, the legacy of the Artificers had not disappeared.
At this moment …
In the secret chamber, Lin Zhen and Lin Feng stood facing each other.
After the civil war, they finally had time to sit down and have a good talk.
They wanted to understand this inexplicable and complicated relationship!
"I think you must have a lot of questions." Lin Zhen was the first to break the atmosphere.
"Isn't Patriarch the same?" Lin Feng smiled faintly.
"Okay." Lin Zhen's eyes flashed. "There is no third person here. Today, we will explain everything clearly." He looked at Lin Feng sincerely. Lin Zhen's expression was serious. "Now that we are in the same boat, I hope we can be honest with each other and not hide anything."
Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he nodded. "That's exactly what I want."
He had waited for so long and done so many things just for this moment.
He wanted to find out what happened back then!
"First, the first question, and also the most important question." Lin Zhen stared at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice, "Tell me! Your father, is he … "
"Lin Xiaotian?" Lin Zhen's gaze was stern.
