Chapter 179 Breaking off relations
Lin Fengmu's eyes dimmed.
"Grandpa, we are now in the end times, and danger is everywhere. Don't mention the engagement anymore. The Ye family has also expressed their stance, right?"
After returning from Lincheng, Ye Xuanmin expressed to his family as promised that he was unwilling to marry.
Although the Ye family felt it was a pity, they did not force them any further.
Old Lin raised his eyes and looked deeply at Lin Fengmu.
"Silly child, even in the end times, the power of the Ye family is still amazing. Only when the Ye and Lin families join forces can we ensure that this complex base will not be torn apart and swallowed up by others."
“There are many ways to collaborate.”
Elder Lin said, "But the most solid thing is marriage. You know very well why the girl from the Ye family proposed not to marry! She still has you in her heart! Or, if you have the ability to take down the girl from the Yu family, you can also help my Lin family gain a firm foothold."
"grandfather!"
"She doesn't like you! You can't get her, right? So why don't you hold on to Xuan Min, the girl who only has you in her heart! As long as you let go, everything will be easy for the Ye family. Don't let it end up with you being in trouble!"
Lin Fengmu closed his eyes weakly.
"Grandpa, as long as I'm here, the Lin family will be fine."
Mr. Lin nodded.
"I believe this. Your ability is obvious to all. But Feng Mu, you are still too young. You are a good captain and a good leader. But you are not a qualified head of the family. You must find someone to help you. Xuan Min girl is the most suitable. She is smart and capable. She can take care of both inside and outside. With her, you can avoid many detours."
Lin Fengmu clenched his fists and his voice gradually became heavier.
"Grandpa, I have never thought about being the so-called head of the family. It's the end of the world, and there are many people with special abilities. It's not that you can't find someone who can cure my eldest brother. He is more suitable to be the head of the family than me."
Old Lin narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Fengmu oppressively.
"Okay, I heard that girl is a healing supernatural being. Go and invite her over. As long as she can cure your brother, I won't force you anymore."
"You know that my brother has angered her."
"But you didn't! I heard that you helped her a lot, and even sacrificed your life to save her. As long as you ask, she won't refuse."
Lin Fengmu's hands began to tremble slightly.
"You know very well that once I open my mouth, all our friendship will be gone!"
Elder Lin pressed on, "Then your friendship is too fragile. What's the point of keeping it?"
After hearing this, Lin Fengmu's expression was blank for a moment.
After being stunned for a while, he suddenly loosened his clenched hands and his expression became indifferent.
"I won't beg her, nor will I marry Ye Xuanmin, let alone become the head of this family. You also said that in the last days, strength is respected. You can try to see what happens after you push me into a corner."
After saying that, he never looked at Mr. Lin again, turned around and strode out of Mr. Lin's study.
Ignoring Mr. Lin's angry roar and slamming the table, he turned and went to his mother Meng Yue's room.
When Meng Yue saw her son coming, her heart, which had been tense because of the chaos just now, instantly relaxed.
"Feng Mu, you are here."
Without saying anything, Lin Fengmu pulled Meng Yue's wrist and said directly: "Mom, come with me."
Meng Yue was a little confused.
"W-why?"
Lin Fengmu said coldly: "Because I never want to be the head of the Lin family, I don't want to be on the Lin family tree, and I don't want to be used as a tool by the Lin family to marry into the Ye family."
Meng Yue's well-maintained beautiful eyes suddenly flickered.
"But, but... this is your father's greatest dream. He hopes until his death that you can be recognized by the Lin family! Feng Mu, be obedient and don't leave, okay?"
Even though Lin Yu is a rebellious person, he still hopes that his wife and children will be recognized by the Lin family.
It's just that he was unwilling to accept the Lin family's arrangement.
This burden...inexplicably fell on Lin Fengmu.
Lin Fengmu's gaze gradually turned cold as he looked at Meng Yue.
"That's his dream, not mine. I have one last question for you: are you leaving or not?"
Meng Yue panicked.
"Feng Mu, you, what do you mean? Don't you want to take care of me anymore?"
"Yes, I don't want to be suppressed by your so-called dreams for the rest of my life. I am myself, and I should live for myself."
Tears instantly welled up in Meng Yue's eyes, and she looked at Lin Fengmu with disappointment and sadness.
"Okay, then go away. You don't have to worry about my life or death anymore."
Lin Fengmu was silent for a few seconds, then nodded lightly.
"Okay, take care of yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and left without even looking at his mother.
He has lost enough for this so-called Lin family.
Considering the overall situation has become his biggest shackle in the past few years!
However, sunk costs should never be included in costs!
Not worthy of participating in major decisions!
No matter what you have lost, it is a good thing as long as you stop the loss in time!
So after leaving the Lin family, the first thing Lin Fengmu did was to go to the military headquarters office and submit his application for discharge.
Of course he could leave without telling anyone.
But he wants to finish what he started, rather than leaving behind an unsolvable mess.
......
The captain of the Xuanfeng team suddenly asked to leave.
Not only Xuan Feng, the entire military was in an uproar.
But these are not the issues that Yu Yao and others are concerned about.
Because when they returned to their residence from Lin's house, they inexplicably found a note at the door of their house.
The handwriting is stiff and it is hard to tell who wrote it.
There were only a few words on it: Someone is planning to take over the Suzaku Bow. Don't trust anyone and don't leave with anyone.
Weird words, weird phrases.
Qi Xian took the note and subconsciously touched the pendant hanging around his neck. For some reason, he felt uneasy in his heart.
After a good discussion, they decided to be more careful recently to prevent anything from really happening.
Especially Qi Xian, it’s best not to act alone.
......
Until everyone went to rest, Yu Yao's face became more and more gloomy, because she could no longer sense Ran Yi's spiritual mark.
Chi Heng explained: "Because she is too far away from you, the mark is not deep enough, so the sensing will be more restricted."
Yu Yao tapped the table lightly with her slender white fingertips.
Trying his best not to let his mind wander, he just said, "I sensed it coming from the southwest earlier."
Fearing that Yu Yao would chase after him impulsively, Chi Heng quickly said, "But she obviously changed her position."
"really......"
Since Ran Yi wanted to hide, it was indeed difficult for her to find her.
But will she accept her fate? No!
Why not just throw that guy Feng Jiye out?
He has a contract with himself and can also sense the mark of the Chaos Orb.
He went to find someone, and he returned to Qianpo Mountain to upgrade without any worries!
If she really can't find it, she has to go to Shanchong, and she must have enough ability to protect herself.
Others may not know, but they all clearly remember Dongfang Jin's ugly expression when they arrived near Shanchong Province.
There must be something terrible in Shanchong!
......
After kicking the reluctant Feng Jiye out, Yu Yao curled up on the sofa, preparing to rest for two days before returning to Qianpo Mountain.
What she didn't expect was that Dongfang Jin actually offered to stay in Kyoto and help her sell weapons in exchange for crystal cores.
Although the demand for these things is not that great during the extreme cold period, there are always people in the base who need to go out.
By leaving one person here, Yu Yao will have a steady stream of crystal core income.
Yu Yao felt a little embarrassed.
"This is a waste of your own time."
Dongfang Jin smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Now, apart from absorbing crystal cores to practice at night, I have nothing else to do. Staying here to help you is also of some use."
Yu Yao wrinkled her nose, "Don't forget to practice the Water Condensation Technique!"
Dongfang Jin was helpless, "I will never forget this no matter what I forget, don't worry."
Luo Mei blinked her eyes. "But you are too bored here, aren't you?"
Chi Heng glanced sideways, "Why don't you stay here with Dongfang?"
Luo Mei: "...Haha, haha...I declined."
Dongfang Jin glanced at her helplessly and said nothing.
Qi Xian said, "I'll stay too. My second brother is the only one here. Don't let anyone have bad intentions."
They're the same everywhere anyway.
Chi Heng frowned, "You recently..."
Qi Xian said: "I will pay attention. Since someone is targeting me, it's useless for me to hide. Anyway, I can go home with one click, so nothing will happen."
Chi Heng nodded: "Okay..."
Yu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Then the water and fire crystal cores obtained from the exchange will belong to you."
Dongfang Jin smiled helplessly.
"You are really worried that we will suffer a loss, but there is really no need. We have enough crystal cores. The ones we have accumulated before are enough for us to upgrade to level 4. I don't believe that anyone is willing to take out level 4 crystal cores for trading now. After the upgrade, Axian and I can also go out of the base to get crystal cores ourselves. Don't worry, we are not doing this entirely for you. We mainly think that there are new things here every day, and there will be many more interesting things than in the base."
Qi Xian nodded in agreement: "That's right~ Don't think too much."
Jiang Yi touched his chin and said, "I am also tempted. Then I will stay here and make delicious food for you."
"That's a good feeling~"
Yu Yao: “…”
Forget it, I can’t argue with it.
I should go back and think about making some suitable equipment for them, which would be more practical.
