"Little girl, I think I asked you first. Out of courtesy, you have to answer my question first before I answer yours."
"And …" As he spoke, Linley carefully sized up the woman. After confirming that he had never seen her before, he continued, "I've never seen you in the Lin family. I can tell you that you've only just arrived here."
"But you said you're from the Lin family. This means that you're either a direct descendant of the Lin family, and I know all of them, or you're from a side branch. However, the Lin family seems to have a rule that side branches can't appear in the backyard of the Lin family."
"Speak, who are you?"
Lin Ray questioned her word by word. His voice grew louder and louder, to the point that the girl in front of him was stunned.
"It's fine, speak slowly."
Seeing that the girl was stunned, Lin Ray found a clean place to sit down. A bottle of wine appeared in Lin Ray's hand out of thin air. He opened the lid and took a big gulp of wine.
"You …" Coming back to her senses, she looked at Lin Ray. The girl didn't know who this man was, but from the information just now, he might be a member of the Lin family. However, she had never seen him before.
She was puzzled. "I'm Lin Ruoxi, the daughter of the third elder of the Lin family, Lin Zhi."
Lin Ruoxi introduced herself with an indescribable pride on her face. It was as if being the daughter of the third elder of the Lin family was something to be proud of.
However, Lin Ray was stunned by Lin Ruoxi's words. Third elder? What a joke, he was born in the Lin family. He had never heard of the existence of the third elder. Furthermore, in the Lin family, other than his grandfather, there were only his uncles. Other than that, there were only a few side branches. Where did the third elder come from?
At this moment, Lin Ray was even more certain that something must have happened to the Lin family. Otherwise, why would the position of the third elder appear?
His originally serious expression became even more serious. He raised his head and looked at Lin Ruoxi. A faint killing intent flashed between his brows.
"Lin Ruoxi, not a bad name. But … from what I know, the Lin family doesn't have the position of the third elder. As for your father, Lin Zhi, I've never heard of him."
"Tell me, who's in charge of the Lin family now? Where's the Fourth Master of the Lin family?"
"Also, what about the elders of the Lin family? I remember that the Lin family had an old butler named Lin Zhong. Why didn't I sense his aura along the way? "
"You … who are you?"
Hearing Lin Ray's words, the woman's expression changed drastically. She could not help but back away, her face filled with vigilance.
She knew the Fourth Master of the Lin family, and she knew even more about that old housekeeper Lin Zhong. It was precisely because she knew all of these people that she was so sleepy, surprised, and even shocked.
"That shouldn't be the case. The people from that branch still asked about it. Didn't they say that they had all been swapped out?" Thinking of this, she raised her head to look at Lin Ray. Recalling that there was no man in the portrait, she felt slightly relieved.
Forcing herself to calm down, she raised her head to look at Lin Ray and replied, "I don't know who you are, but what I want to say is that it's currently under the control of our branch. As for the Fourth Master and the others you mentioned, I'm sorry, but this is a Lin family secret. I can't say anything."
"So, you know now. Since you're not a member of the Lin family, you should leave quickly. This time, I'll pretend that I didn't see you." Having said that, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Your branch?"
From the message just now, Lin Ray understood that Fourth Uncle and the others must be in danger. However, he was more curious about the branch that Lin Ruoxi mentioned.
Lin Ruoxi did not reply and continued to walk forward. "Since you don't want to say, then stay."
Raising his hand, a beam of light shot out from Lin Ray's finger. The light flashed and rushed into Lin Ruoxi's body at an incredible speed.
"What … what's going on? Why can't I move?" The moment the light disappeared from Lin Ruoxi's body, Lin Ruoxi who was about to leave suddenly froze in place. No matter what she did, she couldn't move her body at all.
"Hmph, little girl, acting so arrogant in front of this sovereign. Do you really think this sovereign is easy to bully?"
Looking at Lin Ruoxi, Lin Ray coldly snorted. With a thought, Lin Ray appeared in the system in the next instant.
At this moment, Huo Yun and Lin Feng were sitting together in silence. Neither of them said a word. They just sat together quietly and looked up at the sky. The scenery behind them was very peaceful.
Looking at the two of them, Lin Ray was stunned. Then, he came back to his senses and walked behind his parents. He coughed lightly and said, "Dad, Mom."
"Hmm?"
Hearing their son's voice, the two of them came back to their senses and stood up. When they turned around and saw Lin Ray, their faces were full of smiles. They were very happy.
"Son, why are you here? Are you home?" Lin Feng asked with an indescribable excitement on his face.
As the old saying goes, one should not travel far when one's parents are at home. Now that he had left for so many years, how could he not be excited when he was home!
Looking at his father's expression, Lin Ray's heart was filled with panic. Although he didn't know if Fourth Uncle and the others had stopped them, if they were really in danger, based on the current situation, his father would definitely be very sad.
"Forget it, let's not let Dad know about this for now!" Looking at his father's excited expression, Lin Ray hid the matter of Fourth Uncle and the others.
"Dad, do you know about the other bloodline of the Lin family?" Now, Lin Ray was desperate. He didn't know if his father knew about it, but he was sure that his mother, Huo Yun, definitely didn't know.
This was because she had never mentioned the other bloodline of the Lin family. If it weren't for today's incident, he was afraid that he would never know about it.
"What, the other bloodline of the Lin family?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng's expression changed abruptly. His original smile disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by fear.
"Ray, how did you know about the other bloodline of the Lin family?" Lin Feng asked.
"Looks like it's true!" Looking at his father's reaction, Lin Ray knew that Lin Ruoxi was telling the truth. There really was another bloodline of the Lin family. Moreover, looking at his father's expression, this other bloodline of the Lin family seemed to be very terrifying.
"Ray, hurry up and tell me, how did you know about the other bloodline of the Lin family?! I don't remember telling you about this. "
"Yun 'er, did you tell Ray about this?" Seeing that Lin Ray was silent, Lin Feng turned his head to look at his wife.
However, Huo Yun was also stunned. It was obvious that she was also very confused about this matter.
"No."
After replying, she lifted her head to look at Lin Ray. "Ray, how did you know about this? I don't remember mentioning it to you. Moreover, only the direct descendants of the Lin family know about the other bloodline of the Lin family, and they are all elders. You …"
"…"
Looking at the two of them asking so nervously, Lin Ray was dumbfounded. He was the only one who didn't know about this matter.
"Hurry up and tell me, how did you know?"
