"Yes, what you said is all right! The fault is mine. I shouldn't have shown such high talent back then. I should have kept a low profile. So many things wouldn't have happened!" Lin Mo said with a painful expression.
"What happened later? After Grandpa Lin protected you, have you been the mayor of Beast Taming City?" Gu Yuan asked.
"That's right! Perhaps it's out of guilt towards me and the Lin family that I've been safe and sound for so many years without any accidents. Of course, perhaps it's because they see that I've become a cripple and can no longer threaten them!"
"The assassination attempt a while ago..."
Lin Mo nodded, "That's right! It was the Lin family who did it. I heard that my uncle had always disagreed with this matter, but other people in the clan, including my father, had always wanted to avenge me because they felt that I was treated unfairly. But my uncle, as the head of the clan, would never agree to do this. He and Shui Hantian were close friends, as close as brothers, and he had the Lin family behind him, so the matter was suppressed.
Until two years ago, my uncle had been fighting with Shui Hantian on the battlefields, and he had already developed countless hidden ailments. The news of his Spirit King breakthrough two years ago was actually just a smokescreen from the Lin family. My uncle was consumed by the spiritual energy backlash at the moment of his breakthrough, and he had already died. But in that situation, the Lin family had no choice! They had to create a false impression, otherwise the Lin family would have been gone two years ago.
Lin Mo sighed deeply, and the pain on his face was hidden. He seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"But Shui Ningye has already returned to the imperial capital some time ago. Doesn't that mean His Majesty already knew about the Lin family's assassination of the royal family?"
"That's right. Not only did they already know about it, but the royal family also launched a crackdown on the Lin family a month and a half ago."
"What?"
Looking at Lin Mo who was still calm, Gu Yuan stood up suddenly and looked at Lin Mo in shock.
"What? Do you think my reaction is too flat?" Lin Mo looked at Gu Yuan and asked.
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "City Lord Lin, your reaction really makes me feel that you are talking about someone else's affairs. Aren't you worried about the Lin family? After all, that is your family of origin."
"I'm no longer a member of the Lin family. This Lin is not that Lin. The Imperial Capital Lin family has nothing to do with me anymore."
"But... don't you want to know what will happen to the Lin family? With the strength of the Lin family, they would have been wiped out by the empire by now, right?" Gu Yuan asked with a frown.
This legendary family ultimately took the wrong path.
"I've already said that I have nothing to do with the Lin family anymore!"
Lin Mo suddenly became excited, his face flushed as he said, "I don't know what kind of agreement my uncle reached with Shui Mingjun back then. Why did he help them? Why did he expel me from the Lin family? Why did he let them destroy my spiritual veins and turn me into a cripple without doing anything?"
Gu Yuan sighed. He didn't expect that there were so many things involved. These were all secrets. People in the imperial capital should not know about these things, right?
But now it was right in front of him.
"City Lord Lin, you're simply obsessed! The Lin family only reached an agreement with the royal family to protect you and save your life. Why else would they do this?"
"What if my spiritual veins are destroyed? Where were they when my decades of hard work turned to ashes and I turned from a genius into a cripple? Didn't you say that I was the hope of the Lin family? Why did I have to swallow my anger when my hope was destroyed?" Lin Mo asked excitedly.
"Compared with life, these are nothing. Without life, how can there be hope if we can't survive? As long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood, Lord Lin!" Gu Yuan said, shaking his head.
"As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."
Lin Mo murmured softly several times, and suddenly an indescribable emotion appeared in his eyes.
"It is the royal family that has wronged you, and it has nothing to do with the Lin family. You should hate the royal family, not the Lin family for not saving you. If I were in your place at that time, I would not have saved you, because there were hundreds of lives of the Lin family there, and no one could just ignore them." Gu Yuan continued.
The bitterness on Lin Mo's face became more and more obvious. "I see! I've been lost for so many years, trying to figure out the best way, but it turns out I was wrong!"
Suddenly, Lin Mo's face turned pale, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and his breath became weak.
"City Lord Lin, are you okay?"
Gu Yuan's face changed slightly. He stood up hurriedly and stuffed a pill into Lin Mo's mouth.
After the pill melted in his mouth and was swallowed, Lin Mo's face became slightly redder.
His lips trembled and there was an unconcealable pain on his face.
"The Lin family, my family! My family! It's all gone!"
"Alas! City Lord Lin, please accept my condolences!"
Gu Yuan felt helpless. Once the hatred he had for the Lin family disappeared, all that was left was pain.
"Why! Why! It's the royal family again! Isn't it enough that the royal family turned me from a genius into a cripple? Why are they slaughtering my entire family now? Don't the generations of my Lin family have any merits or hard work?"
"City Lord Lin, calm down first. What you need to do now is not to be sad, but to live well! Have you forgotten what I just told you? As long as there is green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood! What you need to do now is to endure!"
With a beastly roar, Lin Mo gnashed his teeth and said, "I'm a useless person now! The Lin family has been destroyed! They think I'm useless and powerless! So they don't even want to kill me! Hahaha, ridiculous! Ridiculous!"
Gu Yuan sighed. It was not before he had experienced the pain of not being able to practice, and he was not a genius at the time. But now it seemed that it was thanks to him not being a genius that he did not have the same deep sense of loss as Lin Mo.
And he is lucky. With the system, he is destined to become a strong man in the continent!
After pondering for a while, Gu Yuan's eyes changed slightly, and he said to Lin Mo hesitantly: "Maybe... I can help you repair your spiritual veins."
"Wha…what?"
Lin Mo suddenly stopped roaring, a little bit unable to believe his ears, so he asked again: "What did you just say?"
Gu Yuan took a deep breath and said word by word: "I said, maybe I can repair your spiritual veins."
Lin Mo suddenly grabbed Gu Yuan's collar, extremely excited, "What did you say? Are you kidding me?"
Gu Yuan pushed Lin Mo away helplessly and said, "What good would it be for me to use you for fun at this moment? Is it for money or something?"
"You...you are really not joking with me?" Lin Mo asked again.
Gu Yuan's face was very serious, "Really not!"
Lin Mo swallowed, his hands trembling slightly as he asked, "You...how can you restore my spiritual veins? How can I trust you? What price do you want me to pay?"
Lin Mo did not lose his mind because of Gu Yuan's words. Instead, he asked very soberly.
Gu Yuan smiled and said calmly: "To be honest, you have no choice but to trust me."
