"Gift?" Lin Wu frowned slightly, "What gifts did they bring you?"

During the year that Mr. Lin was in the hospital, Lin Shenghai and his friends never brought any gifts to him.

Even if it was to persuade Mr. Lin to call her back, there was no need to ask them to bring any gifts.

Given their personalities, they should have just come straight to the point and asked Mr. Lin to call her. Even if Mr. Lin disagreed, they might have made up a reason to force him to do so.

Mr. Lin did not hide it from Lin Wu. He pointed directly at the drawer in the middle of the bedside table and said, "It's in there."

Lin Wu opened the drawer and looked inside. There were some medicines and daily necessities. At the innermost part, there was a palm-sized wooden box.

"Yes, that's it." Mr. Lin pointed at the wooden box.

Lin Wu took it out and opened it, and found a Buddha head pendant made of unknown material inside.

When Mr. Lin saw it, his heart warmed and his tone became gentle, "Shenghai said that they saw that I had been ill for a long time and had specially found a master to pray for me to be safe. Although it can't do anything for me, it is their filial piety after all, so I accepted it."

Mr. Lin hadn't received any care from his son's family for a long time, so he was very happy when he received the pendant.

Because of this, when they asked Lin Wu to come back, he thought they had finally come to their senses and wanted to treat Lin Wu well and live happily as a family, so he agreed to call Lin Wu.

Who knew that they would talk about Lin Qian later! Although Mr. Lin was angry, he had agreed after all, and it was not easy to go back on his word, so he called Lin Wu.

Lin Wu frowned and asked, "Which master did they ask for it from?"

Old Master Lin shook his head: "I don't know either, but I heard that he seems to be a very respected master who has solved many supernatural problems. Many people highly respect him. Shenghai said that they also spent a lot of money to make an appointment to meet the master."

The older generation is more or less superstitious, and what Lin Shenghai and the others said sounded so real that old man Lin believed it.

Lin Wu frowned even more tightly, "Grandpa, what is this pendant made of?"

Old Master Lin also shook his head: "I really don't know. Maybe it's a special material made by the master?"

It is not jade, silver, gold, agate, or lightning-struck wood.

At least among the materials that Lin Wu knows that can be used to make safety pendants, none of them is like the one in front of him.

As for the master that Grandpa Lin was talking about, Lin Wu thought that the other party was most likely a mysterious master.

A mysterious master refers to a person who is proficient in various Zhouyi Yin-Yang magic arts, is good at what ordinary people cannot do, can see things that ordinary people cannot see, and travels between the living and the dead.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country has strictly controlled this kind of practice. The spiritual energy has gradually become thinner under the impact of the modernization era, and practice has become more difficult. Nowadays, there are very few masters of the art.

Scarcity makes things valuable, and the status of a Xuan Master is rising. Even if he is just a Yellow-grade Xuan Master with the lowest level of cultivation among the Xuan Huang of the world, he can attract countless people with just a wave of his hand, and people in the underworld will not offend a Xuan Master.

As far as Lin Wu knew, anyone who could make his own safety items had to be at least a Xuan-level master.

But for the Xuanshi, it is very taboo to give the things they make to others, not to mention the peace pendant whose material cannot be seen. Because the special materials usually have specific functions, if ordinary people take it, they can be easily injured, which will accumulate karma for the Xuanshi.

Thinking of this, Lin Wu's expression became more solemn.

This pendant also gave her a bad feeling.

"Grandpa, please call Lin Shenghai and the others and find out who the master is, where they met him, and where he is now."

Mr. Lin was stunned. "Why are you asking this? Wuwu, do you also want to pray for peace from that master?"

Old Master Lin was reluctant to reject Lin Wu. When he heard that Lin Wu was asking for safety again, he immediately took out his cell phone and called Lin Shenghai. He did not avoid Lin Wu and turned on the PA directly.

Unexpectedly, in just a short while, Lin Jiangchuan and Lin Qian, who had left, had already called Lin Shenghai to tell him.

Lin Shenghai learned that the two of them were scolded by Grandpa Lin because of Lin Wu, and he was very dissatisfied with Grandpa Lin. As soon as he answered the phone, he accused Grandpa Lin of being in his old age and standing on the side of outsiders, and said he was not worthy of being the children's grandfather.

Old Master Lin was originally somewhat touched by Lin Shenghai because of the pendant, but when he heard his words, he felt dizzy and angrily scolded him for not being able to manage his children well.

Lin Wu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he snatched Grandpa Lin's phone and said to Lin Shenghai over there, "I was the one who made him angry. If you are angry, just come to me, don't be angry at me. Also, what happened to the pendant you gave to me? Where is the master who gave you the pendant now?"

Lin Shenghai was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Wu was still there.

He angrily said, "Looking for you? Can you afford it?! Lin Wu, I want to part ways with you in peace because you and I have been father and daughter for more than ten years. Why don't you know what's good for you and insist on staying here..."

Lin Wu frowned: "Shut up, stop talking nonsense, and answer my question."

Lin Shenghai laughed angrily: "Answer you? How dare you question me? Lin Wu, do you think you are qualified to know everything? That master is not an ordinary person. You can't even reach the threshold of knowing his name!"

Lin Wu lost his patience. "You are in Lin's company, right?"

"So what?" Lin Shenghai snorted coldly.

Lin Wu hung up the phone and handed it back to Grandpa Lin.

"Grandpa, there's something wrong with this pendant. I'll take it away for testing. If there's no problem, I'll return it to you." Lin Wu put the pendant back into the wooden box, stuffed it into his coat pocket and said.

Mr. Lin was stunned.

It’s just a safety pendant. If Lin Wu wants it, he will naturally give it to him.

But what's wrong with this pendant?

Mr. Lin had too many questions, and even more of them were worries. "Wuwu, don't be angry with your father. He said that to you because he was angry and confused. He didn't mean it."

"He's not my dad, so I won't take it to heart." Lin Wu stood up, "Grandpa, I'm leaving first."

Elder Lin was helpless and could only say, "Then I'll call Shenghai and ask you about that master, and scold him to vent your anger. Wuwu, you..."

"No, I know how to find out."

Lin Wu didn't stay any longer and simply said goodbye and left.

After leaving the ward, Lin Wu walked while flipping through the address book and soon found someone to call.

"Hello?" A slow male voice answered the phone, "Daosheng? Why are you calling me suddenly?"

Lin Wu just entered the elevator and pressed the floor key and asked, "Does Xuanmen have a branch in the Songcheng black market?"

The other party was stunned. "Yes. Basically, there are branches of Xuanmen all over the country. Do you have something to ask Xuanmen?"
