Lin Mo looked at the young man in front of him with an indifferent expression, smiled, and said: "Young man, what you said is really interesting."
"Oh? Really?"
"You are about the same age as Wan'er this year, but you are only at the level of a fifth-level spiritualist. When I was your age, I was much stronger than you. I was already proud enough back then, but I didn't expect you to be even stronger than me."
"You have to understand what the existence of a spiritual vein means to a spiritual cultivator. It's like a heart. If the heart breaks, the person will die. Can the dead be reborn?"
Obviously, Lin Mo's words showed his attitude towards Gu Yuan's words just now.
He doesn't believe it!
Even though Lin Mo really wanted to restore his spiritual veins, he knew that this was impossible!
Gu Yuan smiled, not hiding his emotions at all.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Mo asked with a frown.
"City Lord Lin, I admit that you were indeed a genius back then, but times have changed, and your understanding will naturally change as well. Besides, why would I lie to you?"
Lin Mo was suddenly stunned. Yes! Why would the boy in front of him lie to him?
"Then how do you prove that you can restore my spiritual veins? And what do you want from me?"
Lin Mo asked a little nervously. Although he still refused to believe that such a thing could happen, he still chose to ask. What if there was a way?
Gu Yuan shrugged and said, "I can't tell you the method for now, but you have to believe that I really have the ability to help you restore your spiritual veins. As for the price, there must be one, but I haven't decided on it yet."
Lin Mo's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then he said with a bit of boredom: "Forget it, what can you, a young man, do? I went to all the nearby cities and found many alchemists, but they couldn't help me. There's no way you can do it."
Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, but didn't argue anymore. He stood up and said, "I hope City Lord Lin will keep today's events a secret for me. After all, I'm still a wanted criminal. It wouldn't be good to let Your Highness know that there's any connection between us."
Lin Mo sat on the chair and said, "Of course. I'm telling you so much today because you're Wan'er's friend. I hope you can keep these secrets for me. Otherwise, even if I'm already a cripple, I'll still find a way to make you regret it."
Gu Yuan was shocked and said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, City Lord, Gu Yuan is not an ungrateful person."
"Well, that's good. Okay, let's stop here for today. I'll talk to His Highness about this. Even though you don't care and he can't do anything to you, it's still a little awkward. After all, you and Wan'er are good friends, and you won't stop coming to the City Lord's Mansion in the future."
After thinking about it, Lin Mo said.
"Thank you, City Lord. Gu Yuan will leave first."
Looking at the thin figure, Lin Mo pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands, and a black figure appeared behind him.
"Go, investigate this young man named Gu Yuan, find out all his connections and relationships, and then come back and report."
"yes!"
The black shadow appeared so quickly and neatly, as if it had never appeared.
Lin Mo lowered his head and looked at his rough palms, muttering, "It's been many years since I've experienced what it's like to use spiritual energy. Do I still have a chance?"
He shook his head and threw this unrealistic idea away.
After talking with Lin Mo, Gu Yuan left and walked into a dark place with satisfaction. When he came out again, he was already Yuan Gu, who was recognized by most people in the City Lord's Mansion.
With the Thousand Machine Mask, Gu Yuan felt more at ease. The Thousand Machine Mask had a strong camouflage ability, but his current strength was too low, so if he met a strong person, he would still be recognized. But in this place, Gu Yuan was not worried at all.
Walking swaggeringly in the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that after talking with Lin Mo today, he actually knew so many secrets. What he didn't expect was that Lin Mo was actually a former genius.
"Being a Spirit Master at the age of twenty, isn't that too abnormal?"
Gu Yuan couldn't help but smacking his lips. You know, even though he had this incredible cheat system, he was only a level five spiritualist at this time!
"They say likewise, likewise, a dragon gives birth to a dragon. So, it doesn't seem so surprising that Lin Wan'er has an extremely cold icy body. I just wonder if her mother is also a genius?"
Gu Yuan smiled and thought of a cliché that often appeared in online novels in the previous world, which should not appear on Lin Wan'er.
"Shui Ningye must have obtained sufficient evidence to present to the Emperor when he returned to the capital last time. I wonder what has become of the Lin family. I hope this family, which has been glorious for decades, will not end up with the entire family being executed."
Gu Yuan sighed in his heart for the Lin family. Even if it wasn't so tragic, there probably wouldn't be any good outcome. After all, that was a heinous crime of treason!
"Oh, forget it, why worry so much, just take care of yourself!"
Shaking his head, Gu Yuan walked towards the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
Inside the room, Lin Wan'er was bending over to wipe Shui Yaoyao's face. After sleeping for a long time, her face was no longer rosy, but a little pale.
"Why are you alone?"
Gu Yuan walked in and saw that Lin Wan'er was the only one in the room. He couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Gu Yuan, you're here? Have you finished talking with father?"
Lin Wan'er hurriedly stood up and smiled at Gu Yuan.
"Shh!"
Gu Yuan hurriedly gestured, and after confirming that there was no one outside, he rolled his eyes and said, "My dear aunt, please don't call me by my real name. It's killing me!"
Lin Wan'er said coquettishly, "Pfft, pfft, what are you talking about! Okay, okay, Master Yuan, that's enough! How was it? Did you enjoy chatting with my father?"
Gu Yuan smiled and nodded, saying, "I was quite shocked after talking with your father today. I never thought that your father was once the number one genius of the Lin family in the imperial capital."
Lin Wan'er curled her lips and said, "I've known this for a long time. Ever since he was little, he's always liked to drink whenever he was unhappy, and then he'd grab me and tell me stories about his glorious youth. I didn't believe it at first, until one day I heard my father whispering in front of my mother's tombstone, and then I realized it was actually true."
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. No wonder he had never met Lin Wan'er's mother. It turned out that...
"The city lord's heart is really strong. Ordinary people can't bear such a thing. I didn't expect him to persist for so many years." Gu Yuan said sincerely.
"Yes, when my mother was still alive, she often praised my father to me, saying how talented he was and how he defeated his enemies, as if she had seen it with her own eyes. In fact, I was just listening to my father's boasting."
When mentioning these, Lin Wan'er smiled happily, as if she was recalling the happy days when she lived with her father and mother.
"Alas, what a pity, mother has been gone for a long time."
He patted Lin Wan'er's shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay. I've never seen my mother, and my father died of illness a few years ago. You still have your father, but I'm an orphan now."
