Lin Jinglong was slightly taken aback!

"Xia Donghe, what's wrong with you?"

"You know the old man?" Lin Jinglong frowned.

Lin Jinglong had been cultivating Taoism for three years. When he first went to that old man's dilapidated Taoist temple, he even complained about how dirty it was.

The so-called Qinglong Temple is just a dilapidated hilltop with a small, run-down house made of broken bricks and tiles.

You could even say that the old man's place can't even be called a Taoist temple.

Lin Jinglong even thought he was going there to undergo a tribulation!

Because there wasn't even anything decent to eat inside Qinglong Temple, which was a huge problem for Lin Jinglong, who was used to all kinds of delicacies and top-notch food.

It was an absolute torment!

Fortunately, I have my junior sister, who often catches wild pheasants for me, picks wild fruits and vegetables, and even gives me big white steamed buns to eat.

Otherwise, Lin Jinglong would probably starve to death in the Taoist temple sooner or later!

Upon hearing the words "old man," Xia Donghe's lips twitched violently twice!

"My 38th Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain and Daoist Qinglong have been friends for many years!"

"According to seniority, Daoist Qinglong and my grandmaster are of the same generation, so I should respectfully address you as my junior uncle!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jinglong almost spat out his tea!

"I never imagined that old man had such a connection!"

"Looks like his run-down Taoist temple is quite famous!"

A slight smile crept onto Lin Jinglong's lips.

"Hehe! That's right, that's right!"

"Uncle-Master, I have offended you greatly just now, please forgive me!" Xia Donghe bowed to Ye Tian again.

"Alright, alright! Don't call me 'Uncle-Master' anymore, I can't accept that!"

Lin Jinglong quickly supported Xia Donghe's arm. Xia Donghe was about seventy years old and called him his uncle.

Isn't this shortening his lifespan?

“How can that be? My Longhu Mountain and Qinglong Temple have a deep friendship, I have to follow the rules!” Xia Donghe said humbly.

"You can just call me Young Friend Lin or Mr. Lin!"

"I'm used to living a carefree life, and besides, there are only three people in our Qinglong Temple, plus a dog, so we can barely count as three and a half people!"

“Normally, I don’t follow the rules too much, otherwise I wouldn’t call my master ‘old thing’!”

As for Chen Muqing standing next to her, her eyes were filled with trepidation. She had no idea that Lin Jinglong had this kind of relationship.

At that moment, she suddenly found Lin Jinglong's face to be so handsome and charming!

Women are so superficial!

"Alright then, I'll do as my uncle wishes and call you Mr. Lin!"

"This is..." Xia Donghe then looked at Chen Muqing beside him.

"This is my first wife, Chen Muqing! I also have two other wives. I'll introduce them to Grandpa Xia another day," Lin Jinglong explained to Xia Donghe.

Xia Donghe then clasped his hands deeply and bowed to Chen Muqing.

"So she's Mr. Lin's first wife!"

Even Xia Donghe couldn't help but envy Lin Jinglong. These young people nowadays are so healthy. How can he handle three wives?

"Mr. Lin, did you have some kind of grudge against Ma Tianhao just now?" Xia Donghe asked, changing the subject.

"There is some past grudge; Ma Tianhao and I have been at odds for three years!"

"But back then, my Lin family hadn't fallen on hard times yet. Now that my Lin family is in trouble, this bastard is planning to shit and piss on my head!"

Bang! Upon hearing this, Xia Donghe slammed his hand on the table.

Crack! A half-meter-long crack suddenly appeared in the solid wood table!

"Hmph! This is utterly outrageous!"

"The Ma family, they're tired of living! Don't they know who they are? They even dare to bully Mr. Lin!"

Having said that, Xia Donghe turned and walked out. Chen Muqing and Lin Jinglong exchanged a knowing smile and followed him out.

It seems Ma Tianhao is out of luck. They don't even need to lift a finger; someone else has already taken care of him today!

......

Having suffered a setback, Ma Tianhao was not about to swallow his anger so easily.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number directly.

A moment later, a deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Son? What's wrong? I'm in a meeting right now, why are you calling me?"

"Dad! Waaah! I got beaten up by that good-for-nothing Lin Jinglong!"

"Moreover, Lord Xia is protecting this good-for-nothing! You, you come here right now!"

"What did you say?" The figure on the other end of the phone instantly erupted in fury.

Ma Zhanshan is known for being fiercely protective of his own. Once, a rich second-generation from Beijing slapped Ma Tianhao twice in front of a bar.

Ma Zhanshan immediately ordered his men to chop off two of the rich young man's fingers.

Most importantly, no one could do anything about Ma Zhanshan because the Ma family was one of the top wealthy families in Beijing.

Now that the Lin family has fallen on hard times, how could Ma Zhanshan tolerate hearing that his son had been beaten by that good-for-nothing from the Lin family?

"You wait, I'm coming right now!"

*Click!* Ma Zhanshan hung up the phone.

Upon hearing this sound, the people around immediately erupted in commotion!

"Hehe! Well, now Lin Jinglong has completely enraged Young Master Ma!"

"Although I don't know what kind of relationship Lin Jinglong has with Lord Xia!"

"But it's clearly impossible for Lord Xia alone to protect Lin Jinglong!"

"Now, if the Ma family wanted to, they could easily destroy the Lin family!"

"It's over! Lin Jinglong is completely finished now!"

Everyone sneered, while others felt sorry for Chen Muqing.

After all, President Chen, who is the most beautiful woman in Beijing, had just agreed to marry Lin Jinglong.

If Lin Jinglong dies, Chen Muqing will become a widow, and this reputation will have a very bad impact on her.
