Chapter 280 Cleansing the House: Fu Yunshen's Identity [2 Updates]

Upon hearing this, Yunshan happily took out his phone without needing any further prompting.

He pulled up Lin Jinyun's phone number and placed it in front of Wu Hui.

To prevent Fifth Hui from missing his sight, Yunshan thoughtfully pointed and said, "Look, this is the Lin family head's mobile phone number. Do you recognize Arabic numerals?"

Yunshan is genuinely quite worried.

The fifth family is now actually divided into two groups.

One group, like the Mu family, were engaged in business, thus officially integrating into the secular world.

Another group consists of people like Wu Hui, who have a talent for divination and stick to their old profession, maintaining considerable interaction with the ancient medical and martial arts communities.

These people don't have much contact with modern society, and some of their habits are still no different from those of people in ancient times.

What if I don't recognize Arabic numerals?

Wu Hui stared intently at the number, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

What, are you kidding me?

Although people in the ancient martial arts and ancient medicine communities don't particularly like using modern high technology, they still carry mobile phones for convenience.

Although he was indeed the Lin family's personal fortune teller, he did not have the Lin family head's phone number.

After all, he wasn't the fifth head of the family.

The Lin family values ​​him, but they also value hierarchy and seniority even more.

Wu Hui is now completely panicked.

Since they were able to mention the name Lin Jinyun, it proves that they really do have connections with the Lin family!

Even the Mu and Xiu families were unaware of the name of the Lin family patriarch.

“Sigh, I knew it, you don’t know Arabic numerals.” Yunshan shrugged. “Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll dial it for you.”

Without waiting for Wu Hui's reaction, he dialed the number.

It rang only once before being answered.

Yunshan held the phone to Wu Hui's ear: "Ask him, see if he'll back you up."

Wu Hui shuddered.

He gritted his teeth and finally spoke: "Patriarch Lin, I am Fifth Hui, please—"

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

The middle-aged man's voice was gentle yet firm: "I've heard about what happened to you. You made a mistake, and the Lin family won't interfere."

"You're not the only fortune teller employed by the Lin family. You'd better watch yourself."

The call ended just like that.

Wu Hui listened blankly to the "beep beep beep" sound, and his blood ran cold.

Lin Jinyun didn't even listen to what he said, and just gave up on him like that?

Without the Lin family's protection, and with Fifth Fan directly witnessing his attempt to find someone to take the blame, he was completely finished.

Fifth Hui was still in great pain at all the acupoints on his body. He struggled to lift his head and look to his right.

The man leaned back lazily in his chair, his peach blossom eyes gleaming with a faint light, shimmering with emerald green and crimson red.

He was playing with a jade thumb ring; his handsome face exuded charm.

But Wu Hui felt endless fear and oppression.

Who exactly is this man?

How can you make Lin Jinyun obey?

"Drag him to the ancestral hall." Fifth Fan also gave the order, "Immediately carry out the family law, and tell the ancient medical community, the ancient martial arts community, and all other members of the Fifth Family that Fifth Hui is no longer a member of the Fifth Family."

"No...no!" Fifth Hui cried out in extreme panic, "Patriarch! Patriarch, you can't do this!"

But he had no chance to resist and was dragged away.

After dealing with Wu Hui, Wu Fan, leaning on his cane, stood up shakily.

He walked over, his attitude very respectful: "May I ask who you are, sir?"

"Nobody." Fu Yunshen said casually, one hand in his pocket. "Just a spoiled brat."

Fifth Fan: "???"

Yunshan: "..."

He had no idea how many fools their young master had fooled with that word.

Yunshan shook his head and followed behind Fu Yunshen.

Fifth Fan stood still and did not follow.

He even wondered if he had been out of touch with the world for too long and no longer understood current trends.

Why do these seemingly unfathomable people all refer to themselves in this way?

Fifth Fan stroked his beard and watched Fu Yunshen leave before he also went out.

He walked outside into the courtyard, waved, and called Fifth Moon aside.

Fifth Month dusted off the dust from her legs and stood up: "Grandpa."

"Yueyue, Grandpa hasn't asked you yet," Fifth Fan lowered his voice, "Where did you meet that young lady?"

Ying Zijin had disguised herself.

Her disguise was so convincing that even facial recognition couldn't detect it.

Even Wu Hui couldn't figure it out.

But Fifth Fan is possible.

This is their grandmaster; how could his appearance be ordinary?

There is no other explanation besides disguise.

"Oh, this one." Fifth Month scratched his head. "It's on the island where you, Grandpa, told me to throw my brother and me off. If I hadn't met this young lady, I wouldn't have had any money to go home."

She even recounted everything that had happened on the island.

Little did she know that her words had terrified Fifth Fan.

His fingers trembled: "You...you also cheated that person out of money?"

"Hey, Grandpa, this is a fair trade," Fifth Month shrugged. "You taught me this, how can you call it cheating?"

"Unfilial descendant!" Fifth Fan angrily raised his cane and tapped Fifth Yue on the head. "You are simply... simply..."

He swallowed back what he was about to say.

Fifth Month is not yet the head of the Fifth Family, so there are some things that cannot be told to her, otherwise it will cause considerable trouble.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Fifth Month quickly covered her head and ran to the side. "Grandpa, all my brain cells are dead."

"It's good that they're all dead." Fifth Fan was so angry that his beard stood on end. "You never use your brain properly all day long."

That was our grandmaster!

Even their ancestors had to call him "Master," yet in May he actually went and cheated people out of money.

Fifth Fan clutched his chest, feeling like he was about to die of anger.

However, if the Grandmaster were concerned with such things, he wouldn't have come all the way to change the fate of the Fifth Month.

These unfilial descendants are truly blessed despite their foolishness.

“Starting today, you’re going to study properly.” Fifth Fan said seriously, “The Book of Changes, the Book of Changes, the Plum Blossom Divination, and the Tui Bei Tu, copy each of them ten times and memorize them before we talk about anything else.”

Wu Yue will soon be an adult, and once he reaches adulthood, he will enter the Daoist path.

These are the most basic books that you must read.

As early as when Wu Fan uttered his first sentence, he had already run off.

As she ran, she covered her ears, saying, "Grandpa, what did you say? The wind is so strong, I can't hear you."

Fifth Fan almost couldn't catch his breath.

May is great in every way, very smart, quick to understand, but just doesn't like to study.

He thought she was the real playboy!

At this time, in the ancient martial arts world.

The Lin family.

Lin Jinyun looked at her phone thoughtfully.

"Master," the butler frowned, "you're really not going to take care of Master Hui anymore?"

Fifth Hui's divination skills are indeed very strong.

Fortune tellers are becoming increasingly rare. Apart from Wu Hui, the Lin family only has two personal fortune tellers.

But neither of them can compare to Fifth Hui.

Fifth Hui was able to predict the Lin family's fortune, something the other two fortune tellers couldn't do.

The future of a family is far greater than that of an individual, and they can glimpse far more secrets of the universe.

The Lin family isn't the only family in the ancient martial arts world; several others also have dealings with the fifth family.

Now that Wu Hui has been stripped of his divination abilities and expelled from the Wu family, it seems that he has nothing to do with the Lin family, but the Lin family has also lost manpower.

Lin Jinyun fell silent. After a long while, he sighed softly, "It's not that I don't care, it's that I can't."

The butler was taken aback: "Can't you manage it?"

Once outside the ancient martial arts world and into the capital, is there anything the Lin family can't handle?

Lin Jinyun didn't speak, but simply shook her head and asked, "Is Qingjia here?"

"Miss Qingjia has gone out," the butler replied respectfully. "She went to O Continent. As you know, she is also very accomplished in ancient medicine."

"The ancient medical community says that it was the alchemy community that personally invited Miss Qingjia to come and work together on a drug research project."

The relationship between the ancient medical community and the alchemy community is contradictory; they are competitors, but they also cooperate quite a bit.

Every so often, representatives from each side would send people to exchange ideas.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jinyun's tightly furrowed brows relaxed: "Whatever Qingjia needs, have someone deliver it to her. There must be absolutely no negligence."

The butler remained respectful: "Yes, Master."

Even if Lin Jinyun didn't say anything, he knew the importance of the matter.

He bowed before stepping down.

**

The next day.

Ying Zijin slept until the sun was high in the sky before waking up.

She opened her eyes, turned her head, and looked out the window.

The September sunlight, carrying a slight chill, filtered through the leaves and fell on the windowsill, casting dappled shadows.

A rare moment of tranquility.

She had lived here for a period of time before.

The fifth family has preserved their ancestral home very well, and it is no different from what it was hundreds of years ago.

There was a knock on the door.
