"Is … is it really you? Feng 'er? "
Tears welled up in the old man's eyes uncontrollably. As the saying goes, men bleed but don't cry. It's only because they haven't been hurt.
The old man used to be a veteran of the battlefield. He led an army to defend against an entire country's attack. Now, he was crying his eyes out.
"It's … it's me. Your son has returned."
"I'm sorry. Your son is unfilial. I've made you worry for so many years." He hugged his body and buried his head in the old man's chest. Tears flowed uncontrollably. At this moment, he was sobbing uncontrollably.
To the side, Huo Yun understood that the father and son had not seen each other for a long time. There had been news of his son's death, but now that his son had come back from the dead and appeared in front of him, the old man was able to remain calm.
Fortunately, the two of them restrained themselves. After all, they were in an illusion. They had no choice but to stop reminiscing about the past.
After crying for a while, the two of them separated. However, their eyes never left each other.
Seeing the old man like this, Lin Ray couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't respond and just waited quietly. Now that his mission was completed, it was up to the old man to decide what to do with the other bloodline.
No matter what the old man said, Lin Ray would definitely show no mercy and kill everyone from the other bloodline. However … he was afraid that the old man would be soft-hearted.
"It's good that you're back."
Looking at Lin Feng, the old man finally spat out these words. After saying that, he looked at Lin Ray. Now, he truly believed that the young man before him was his grandson, Lin Ray.
However, looking at Lin Ray's appearance, the old man still didn't dare to believe it. In just a few years, his grandson's cultivation had improved greatly. However, his appearance had changed so much.
He was sure that if they were walking on the street, Ruo Lin and Lin Ray didn't speak, they would pass by each other and treat each other as familiar strangers.
"You brat, you haven't returned for so many years. Now that you're back, even your appearance has changed. Tell me, what should we do about this?" the old man asked.
Although his words sounded like he was questioning Lin Ray, from the doting look on the old man's face, he understood what he really meant.
Seeing the old man like this, Lin Ray smiled bitterly. "Old man, it's not that I don't want to come back. It's just that there are some things that I haven't settled yet, so I can't come back."
"Well …" As she spoke, she turned to Lin Feng. "Didn't I bring my dad back?"
"I brought back a son for you, and now your grandson is back. Tell me, are you happy?"
"Uh … Happy!"
Lin Ray's words made the old man unable to refute, but he was truly happy. Now that his son, who had been used for many years, had returned, and his grandson was standing in front of him safe and sound, what else could he be dissatisfied with?
…
"Hey, guys, are you done yet? Hurry up and settle the matter at hand!" The Scarlet Flame Tiger in Lin Ray's arms looked at this harmonious scene and felt a little sour in its heart. It was as if it was jealous that the old man had snatched away its Brother Lei.
"Who's talking?"
The Scarlet Flame Tiger's voice interrupted everyone. The old man's gaze left Lin Ray and looked around, as if trying to find the person who spoke.
The old man didn't know. The Lin family didn't know, but Lin Feng and Huo Yun knew who the person was.
The two looked at the Scarlet Flame Tiger and shook their heads helplessly. "Father, the person who spoke just now was Ray's friend, the Scarlet Flame Tiger."
Pointing at the Scarlet Flame Tiger, Lin Feng slowly said.
"What?"
As he spoke, he looked at the direction where Lin Feng was pointing. When he saw the Scarlet Flame Tiger in Lin Ray's arms, the old man was stunned. Then he frowned and looked at Lin Feng with an expression that said, "Feng 'er, we haven't seen each other for many years. You've learned how to make fun of your father, right?"
"I … I didn't, really —" Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Ray. He understood that if he didn't really see it, the old man would never believe him. Therefore, only by letting the old man see it clearly would he be able to make him believe him completely.
Looking at his father's expression, Lin Feng, Lin Ray didn't understand what he meant. He turned his head to look at the old man and said, "Old man, my father is right."
"Xiao Hu, say a few words for the old man." Afraid that the old man wouldn't believe him, he lowered his head and let the Scarlet Flame Tiger speak.
"Damn, Brother Lei, I'm your beast, not a monkey on the mountain. If you do this, won't your heart hurt?" Looking at Lin Ray, it complained as if it had been wronged.
Hearing the Scarlet Flame Tiger's words, the old man completely believed Lin Feng's words. Looking at the Scarlet Flame Tiger, the old man didn't have any other thoughts other than shock.
Even a demonic beast could speak, this made his view of the world refreshed.
"Alright, old man, how should we deal with these people?" Seeing the old man in a daze, Lin Ray once again asked for instructions.
Time was nothing to Lin Ray, but Lin Ray didn't want to waste any more time on this matter.
Lin Ray's words made Lin Feng and Huo Yun, who had been paying attention to the old man, react.
Just now, they were only thinking about the old man and didn't notice that they were in a cave. Moreover, who were those people at the entrance?
One question after another arose in Lin Feng and Huo Yun's hearts.
"Dad, didn't I ask you about the other bloodline before? These people are from the other bloodline! " Lin Ray saw the doubt in Lin Feng's expression clearly. Now that everything had been settled, it didn't matter if they knew.
"What?"
"The other bloodline?"
Contrary to Lin Ray's expectations, Lin Feng wasn't as calm as he had imagined, and spoke out in shock.
Huo Yun was even more so. Her gaze fell on the people at the entrance of the cave, and her expression changed.
"En, that's right. Just now, after returning to the Lin family, I …" Lin Ray opened his mouth and told them everything that had happened after returning to the Lin family.
"Just like that, I originally wanted to kill them directly, but then I remembered that they were from the same clan, so I only killed those who attacked."
"So that's how it is!"
After listening to Lin Ray's story, the old man had a look of understanding. Now, he knew what had happened.
His gaze fell on the other bloodline at the entrance of the cave, and the murderous look on his face instantly disappeared.
The old man's gentle and benevolent expression reappeared on his face. "Ray, since the other bloodline has already received the price they deserve, then let's just forget about this matter. After all, we are from the same clan. Although establishing the Lin family is only a temporary separation, we still have the bloodline of the Lin family."
"If revenge breeds revenge, will there ever be an end to it? Take a step back and you'll see the world."
"You, you're going to let us go?" The old man didn't hide his words from the Martial King and the remaining disciples of the other bloodline. However, the old man's decision seemed so inconceivable to them.
When they thought about what they had done to the Lin family, they never thought that the old man would make such a decision.
