Their eyes met. Lin Feng's expression was calm.
He had already tactfully informed Lin Zhen of this matter through Guan Zhong.
He knew that it was reasonable. If Lin Zhen did not even have this bit of logical ability, he would not have been able to become the family head. Unlike his son, Lin Zhan, Lin Zhen looked bold and straightforward, but he was actually very meticulous and meticulous. This could be seen from how he handled the things that happened during this period of time.
Lin Feng smiled faintly. "Family head, don't you think this question is superfluous? Could it be … that you really think I'm your illegitimate son?"
"Cough." Lin Zhen's face turned red. He had indeed suspected it for a period of time.
With just a few words, the heavy atmosphere was eased.
Lin Zhen looked at Lin Feng and nodded slowly. "Actually, I've always suspected it, but I haven't been able to confirm it." After a pause, Lin Zhen pursed his lips and asked hesitantly, "Lin Feng, your father and mother … are they alright?"
"Not good." Lin Feng shook his head decisively.
Lin Zhen clenched his fists and then slowly released them. He sighed. "Actually, I've already guessed it. Although I arranged for your father and mother to leave that day, the ancient race's visitor is not an ordinary person. Not long after your father and mother left, he left. He must have found some clues. "
"Him?" Lin Feng's eyes darkened and flashed.
"Yes, an ancient race Saint." Lin Zhen's voice was filled with helplessness.
An ancient race Saint!
Lin Feng's face turned cold. This was the first time he had heard such shocking news.
Back then, a Saint had actually been sent to kill his father. No wonder his father had fled to the Tianwu Continent in such a sorry state and suffered such serious injuries. As far as he knew, his father had been the family's star of hope. Whether it was in terms of strength or weapon refinement, he was top-notch. Ordinary Star Sector-level martial artists could not do anything to his father.
"Pa!" Lin Feng clenched his fists, a sharp light flashing between his brows. "What's his name?"
He broke up his family, causing his father to be seriously injured, and his mother's whereabouts to this day were unknown.
How could he take this lying down!
If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely kill his enemy with his own hands.
"I don't know." Lin Zhen shook his head. He raised his head slightly and fell into deep thought. "He came alone and left very quickly. Oh, that's right!" Lin Zhen suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "I remember that he wore a dragon-head ring on his right index finger, and his right wrist seemed to have been injured. There was a very deep scar."
Dragon Head Ring? The scar on his right wrist?
Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he immediately made a mental note. Although there was a sea of people, having a clue was better than nothing.
"But it's really strange. With the recovery ability of a Saint's body, how could there be a scar?" Lin Zhen muttered to himself, and then shook his head. The Saint level was not something he could pry into. Looking at Lin Feng, Lin Zhen nodded with gratification. "If Xiaotian's spirit in heaven saw that he had such an outstanding son, he would be deeply comforted."
Lin Feng shook his head. "Father isn't dead yet."
"What?!" Lin Zhen's eyes widened. "Then didn't you just say …"
"It's a long story." Lin Feng did not continue this topic, and his emotions gradually calmed down. He looked at Lin Zhen and said seriously, "Patriarch, I want to know what happened back then. Please tell me in detail, just as you promised me just now."
Lin Zhen nodded indifferently. "I won't hide it from you. You do have the right to know about this matter."
His chest rose and fell slightly. Lin Feng's eyes sparkled as he listened carefully.
What happened back then, to him —
It was very important!
Lin Zhen's eyes flashed, and he was immersed in his memories. He slowly said, "Twenty years ago …"
…
Fifteen minutes later.
"That's about it." Lin Zhen let out a long sigh. This secret had been hidden in his heart for twenty years.
Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly, and his veins popped out. He felt a strong sense of anger.
Just as he had guessed, his father and mother were indeed separated that day. When the Saints of the ancient races arrived, Patriarch Lin Zhen arranged for the two of them to enter a secret passage and elope. He did not know anything about what happened after that.
However, he could imagine what had actually happened.
It was already very difficult for his father to keep his life in the hands of the ancient race Saints.
"My mother … She's called 'Jia Yazhu'?" Lin Feng softly murmured.
"Yes, your mother should be a member of the Ancient Feng Clan, but I'm afraid only your father knows her specific identity." Lin Zhen shook his head with a bitter smile. "When your father brought your mother back to the clan, I was deeply shocked. No one has ever been so bold in the Vermilion Bird Continent. Your father …"
"Set a precedent."
Lin Feng's expression kept changing.
From beginning to end, Lin Zhen recounted what had happened back then, and the doubts in his heart were finally resolved.
However …
"How did the ancient races know about this, and how did they know that my mother was hiding in the Lin clan?" Lin Feng looked straight at Lin Zhen and asked.
"I've always been puzzled about this matter." Lin Zhen frowned slightly and said slowly, "When your father brought your mother back to the clan, they did not hold a wedding. Everything was simple. Other than me, no one should know about your mother's identity, and no one would be so bored as to investigate a woman's background. "
"Patriarch, did my father tell you about my mother's identity personally?" Lin Feng looked straight at Lin Zhen with bright eyes.
"Yes." Lin Zhen nodded seriously and did not avoid Lin Feng's gaze.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze at this moment.
Three seconds later …
"I believe you." Lin Feng's eyes returned to normal. He could not see any lies in Lin Zhen's eyes. He also had the Starry Sky Pupils, so he could sense even the slightest change. However, Lin Zhen's eyes were as calm as a lake.
Most importantly, his father was willing to tell Lin Zhen this news. This showed how much he trusted the patriarch.
That day, Lin Zhen arranged for his father to escape into the underground tunnel. This was true.
Only the patriarch knew about the clan's underground tunnel.
"There are some things that I don't know if I should say," Lin Zhen said hesitantly.
"Patriarch, please say it," Lin Feng said.
"Although saying this is disrespectful to the dead, your uncle, who is your father's younger brother, Lam Tok Tei, should also know about your mother's identity." Lin Zhen looked at Lin Feng and said seriously, "Later, there was a rumor that Lam Tok Tei deliberately betrayed your father for the position of deputy patriarch."
Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, this kind of thing should not be hidden from his close relatives.
If it were him, he would do the same.
But …
"Besides Lam Tok Tei, does my father have another younger brother, Lin Jing?" Lin Feng asked.
"Another younger brother? Lin Jing? " Lin Zhen was stunned and did not recover for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he said in surprise, "Are you talking about Lin Yumo's father, Lin Jing?"
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded.
Lin Zhen did not know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "Who told you that?"
Lin Feng was also stunned. "Is it not?"
Lin Feng frowned. He was quite surprised.
"Of course not." Lin Zhen smiled calmly. "But it is true that your father and Lin Jing were very close. The two even became sworn brothers and were betrothed before they were born. That year, your mother and Lin Yumo's mother were pregnant. The two families agreed that if it was a boy and a girl, they would marry in the future and strengthen their relationship. "
"Ah?!" Lin Feng's eyes widened. He was completely dumbfounded.
He did not expect the story to be like this. Then he and Yumo …
Were not siblings!
God, he had made a big mistake.
Lin Feng exhaled after a long time. He was extremely shocked and could not believe it. He thought about how he and Yumo had known each other for a long time. From their cold relationship to the breaking of the ice, now Yumo and he were like family. After going through so many things, the relationship between them was as if …
Oh no!
Lin Feng's expression changed. He looked at Lin Zhen. "Does Yumo know about this?"
Lin Zhen looked at Lin Feng in confusion. "You two are stuck together like glue. Your relationship is so good now. Do you think Yumo doesn't know?" Lin Zhen said earnestly, "Lin Feng, listen. Don't let Yumo down. For the sake of your marriage, Yumo has suffered so much. Actually, we are all a little surprised that she can still accept you."
It's over!
Lin Feng's mind was in a mess.
He did not expect that he would be 'in trouble' again this time.
Previously, he thought that the two of them were siblings, so he was unrestrained and did not have any scruples. But now that he had jumped out of the circle and looked at the relationship between the two of them, although he treated Yumo like a sister, so what if she was Yumo?
"This is troublesome!" Lin Feng sighed.
He now had two wives, Zi Yao and Qianqian. He knew a little about the feelings between a man and a woman.
Obviously, as the clan leader said, Yumo was …
Deeply in love with him.
Yumo was implicated by his family. To be precise, it was because of him that her family fell and suffered so much since she was young. If not for this arranged marriage, Yumo's family would not have been implicated. She should be living a happy life now, not having her family leave one after another and almost falling into despair.
Thinking about it, the pain he suffered was not worth mentioning compared to Yumo's.
If he let her down, would he still be human?
But …
Pursing his lips, Lin Feng sighed.
There were many things that he did not have much of a choice to make. He might be able to kill his enemies cleanly and decisively. But to his family, to a person who cared for him wholeheartedly, how could he be so cruel and do such a thing?
"If there is a chance, I should have a good talk with Yumo," Lin Feng said softly.
No matter what, this matter had to be resolved.
But right now, there was a more important matter!
Since Lin Jing was not his uncle, in other words, what the clan leader said was very likely true. Lam Tok Tei might have really betrayed his father! Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he understood. Looking at Lam Tok Tei, this person, he was an ambitious and ruthless person who would do anything to achieve his goals. Back then, his father was the only candidate for the deputy clan leader, and Lam Tok Tei was only the second candidate!
Motive. It was already there.
It was hard to believe that Lam Tok Tei would do such a heartless thing for power and status!
But just as he predicted, in his father's letter, there was no mention of his younger brother, Lam Tok Tei.
What did this mean?
"Father also suspects him." Lin Feng's eyes flashed.
