The Zhao family had shared the book with two other families. One of them happened to be Li Ruyue's Li family, while the other was not from Tianyuan City, but was also from the Central Region's Nanling Fang family.
Among them, the Fang family was the most powerful.
This was what Wu Ming had explained to Linlong in detail before he left.
Linlong did not have to wait for long. In just half a day, a servant from the Zhao family had already called him to a study.
In the study, there was another middle-aged man in addition to Zhao Han. This middle-aged man had a square face and a dignified aura. He was obviously Zhao Han's father, Zhao Tianying.
"Young Master Lin, this is my father, Zhao Tianying." Zhao Han introduced.
"Greetings, Patriarch Zhao." Linlong nodded.
After sizing Linlong up, Zhao Tianying began to ask about Linlong's identity in a roundabout way.
Zhao Tianying was obviously not as easy to deal with as Zhao Han. Fortunately, Linlong had done his homework and was very familiar with the Southern Region's Yangchuan City's Lin family. Otherwise, Zhao Tianying would have most likely seen through him.
After feeling that Linlong should be from the Southern Region's Yangchuan City's Lin family, Zhao Tianying then brought up the topic of the secret manual.
"I heard from Zhao Han that you are very familiar with that language. Can you show it to me?" Zhao Tianying asked.
"Sure." As he spoke, Linlong did not hesitate to write a few words on the table.
This time, he did not write the words he had written for Zhao Han. Zhao Han could not help but nod. "Father, Young Master Lin should be very familiar with this language."
"That's good." Zhao Tianying's face lit up with joy.
"But Little Brother Lin, what kind of language is this?" Zhao Tianying asked curiously.
"This is the language of the Yao tribe from thousands of years ago," Linlong said.
In any case, the two of them would not know, so Linlong did not mind telling them the truth.
"The Yao tribe from thousands of years ago?" Zhao Tianying and Zhao Han were dumbfounded when they heard Linlong's words.
This seemed too distant for them. Moreover, the history books they had come into contact with did not have any records of this.
After saying a few more words, Zhao Tianying finally believed that Linlong had the ability to do so.
Then, he said with some regret, "Little Brother Lin, you will probably have to wait for a few more days, because that secret manual is now in the hands of the Fang Family's Patriarch, Fang Kangcheng, and Fang Kangcheng is not at home. He will only be back in a few days."
"Do you not have a copy?" Lin Long couldn't help asking.
"We also wanted to copy that book, but the words on that book were extremely strange. Whoever wanted to copy it would definitely feel dizzy, and they wouldn't even be able to hold on for a few breaths of time. Even experts like us were the same. So, we could only give up on this idea in the end." Zhao Tianying smiled bitterly.
"I see." Linlong nodded.
Some books were engraved with strange runic arrays, and these runic arrays were likely to cause the situation that Zhao Tianying had mentioned.
Moreover, this kind of Runic Magic Array was generally very hidden and difficult to crack. If one did not know the method, they could only take the original and analyze it like Zhao Tianying.
Of course, Linlong naturally would not tell Zhao Tianying and Zhao Han about this.
"Han 'er, take advantage of the time when the Fang Family's Patriarch is not back to learn from Young Master Lin. When you have time, bring Young Master Lin around Tianyuan City," Zhao Tianying said.
Seeing that Linlong was a talent, he naturally hoped to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with him.
"Okay." Zhao Han nodded.
The next day, just as he was pondering where to bring Linlong to play, a servant's voice came from outside the door, saying that Li Ruyue had come to visit.
As soon as the voice faded, Li Ruyue appeared in front of him.
"Ruyue, why are you here?" Zhao Han couldn't help asking.
"I heard that you were going to bring Young Master Lin to play, so I rushed over." Li Ruyue said.
"How did you know? Who told you? "Zhao Han's expression was somewhat ugly.
Because Li Ruyue's expression meant that someone had leaked the news, or that Li Ruyue had planted her own subordinates in the Zhao Family.
"I say, Zhao Han, you're overthinking things. Uncle Tianying sent someone to tell me," Li Ruyue immediately said in a somewhat displeased tone.
"My father?" Zhao Han's face twitched. He didn't expect his father to be the one to tell Li Ruyue.
Thinking about it, he knew why. His father must have noticed that he was interested in Li Ruyue, so he took advantage of Linlong's good excuse to bring Li Ruyue along.
But father, how would you know that you're basically inviting a wolf into the house! Zhao Han couldn't help but think to himself when he recalled Li Ruyue's favorable impression of Linlong yesterday.
Although he was depressed, he could only accept this reality. He couldn't chase Li Ruyue away, but of course, he also knew that he couldn't chase her away now.
Zhao Han went to call Linlong, and soon, the three of them left the Zhao Family Residence.
After a few steps, a young man who looked like a noble walked over, followed by two subordinates.
Zhao Han's expression immediately turned ugly when he saw this young man.
This was the last person he wanted to see in the Central Region's Nanling Province.
"Brother Zhao, how have you been?" Zhao Han's expression was ugly, but the young man greeted Zhao Han with a smile.
"Fang Zhan, why are you here?" Zhao Han frowned.
"I originally planned to come to Tianyuan City to play with Ruyue today, and it just so happened that you guys were going out to play, so I naturally came over." Fang Zhan smiled.
"But I don't think I invited you?" Zhao Han raised his voice.
"Brother Zhao, I don't mind that you didn't invite me. It's fine as long as Ruyue did." Fang Zhan clearly had a proud smile on his face.
"That's right, Zhao Han. I was the one who invited Young Master Fang." Li Ruyue nodded.
Zhao Han was speechless when he heard Li Ruyue's words. Of course, his expression turned even uglier.
Seeing their expressions, Lin Long knew that this Fang Zhan was the young master of another clan, the Fang Clan.
Like Zhao Han, Fang Zhan also liked Li Ruyue. However, Fang Zhan was stronger than Zhao Han in all aspects, and he completely suppressed Zhao Han. Therefore, not only did Zhao Han not like Fang Zhan, but he was also afraid of Fang Zhan's strength.
This was what Wu Ming had mentioned to Linlong yesterday.
It was also because of this that Zhao Han's expression immediately turned ugly when he saw Fang Zhan come uninvited.
But now, Zhao Han could only tacitly agree to accompany Fang Zhan.
At this moment, Fang Zhan turned to look at Linlong and said, "This must be Young Master Lin."
"Yes." Linlong nodded.
"Look at Young Master Lin's elegant and handsome appearance. As expected of an ancient scholar, you are much better than Brother Zhao." Fang Zhan smiled.
From Fang Zhan's words, Linlong knew that Zhao Tianying must have revealed this information to Li Ruyue, and then Li Ruyue told Fang Zhan.
This sentence naturally angered Zhao Han to the point where she almost died.
