"No!" Father Lin said subconsciously.
Lin Su shrugged and said, "Then there's nothing to talk about between us."
He turned and left. Father Lin shouted from behind him, "I'm your father. I can agree to all the other conditions except this one."
Lin Su stood still: "Even children know to apologize when they do something wrong. Does that mean a father is superior to others? I don't need any other conditions. Thank you for your kindness, Patriarch Lin."
He left without hesitation, and the driver beside him was a little anxious: "Master."
The position of the head of the family has always been final, and he has probably never been disobeyed like this before. In the past, he was the only one who expelled others from the Lin family, and no one ever asked him to beg to come back. This kind of disparity is actually difficult for such a person to accept.
Father Lin took a deep breath and said, "Stop, I... accept your conditions."
It's worth sacrificing his own face in exchange for the revitalization of the family.
After saying this, Lin Su turned around and said with a smile, "Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier? Since you've agreed, you can supervise the implementation of kneeling in the ancestral hall yourself. I won't be responsible for supervision. You can apologize now."
There was a hint of nonchalance in his tone, and it was obvious that he didn't care much about returning to the Lin family or not.
Father Lin took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Dad misunderstood you before."
His hands were clenched tightly. Lin Su looked at him and said, "Actually, I don't care that you misunderstood me. It's that you pinned the crime on your son without even checking anything. That's where you went wrong. I hope there won't be a next time."
Lin Su knew why he apologized. He was forced to do so by the decision of his ancestors, the helplessness of his family, and his talent. However, he did not truly recognize his own mistakes, so he was forced to apologize in order to maintain his dignity and face.
Father Lin looked at him with a complicated look. Lin Su turned around and said, "See you later."
Only Father Lin was left standing there, with all kinds of emotions mixed in his heart: anger, shame and... guilt.
Just as his son said, he never had the slightest trust in him as a father from the moment he heard the news.
"Let's go back." Father Lin got into the car, his face somewhat dejected.
Lin Su was persuaded to go back, but the Ye family's clarification this time still made the Lin family quite embarrassed, and the fact that the head of the Lin family volunteered to kneel in the ancestral hall made the whole matter even more of a sensation.
As Ye Kaixuan's temporary companion and blood donor, Xu Qian naturally knew the follow-up of this incident and highly praised Lin Su, the person involved: "This handling result is really gratifying."
"Do you think this is good?" Ye Kaixuan asked.
Xu Qian held up his chin and asked, "Isn't it good? We are all human beings. When elders do something wrong, they should set an example and apologize. What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing." Ye Kaixuan said, "Put your hand over here and let me check the chain for you."
"Oh." Xu Qian stretched out his hand. Ye Kaixuan examined the marks on it and frowned. "We still need to find your jade pendant as soon as possible."
"Is the situation bad?" Xu Qian couldn't tell any difference between the bead bracelet and the previous one.
"You have encountered the little ghost six times today. You need to re-enforce the seal on it." Ye Kaixuan couldn't understand why he encountered evil spirits so many times. Even the ancestral bloodline of the Xu family should not have such a strong attraction.
"Six times..." Xu Qian licked his lips nervously. In fact, he didn't feel it once.
The last time the ghost came from behind him, he almost fainted. If it came every day, no one would be able to bear it. "What on earth is that jade pendant in our house?"
Let him not be approached by those evil spirits for twenty years.
"It is said that a great demon is sealed inside the jade pendant, but I don't know for sure. You can look through your family's books to see if you can find it." Ye Kaixuan reapplied the Taoist seal on his bracelet.
"Oh, if a powerful demon is really sealed, it must be a very powerful one." Xu Qian said, holding his chin, "But seals are usually meant to be broken, so what will be the consequences if a powerful demon escapes?"
"It's very troublesome." Ye Kaixuan paused. "The longer the demon is sealed, the deeper its resentment grows. In fact, the Feng Shui world doesn't approve of sealing living things to drive away evil spirits. Once the seal is broken, the consequences will be disastrous."
Xu Qian's expression was originally quite relaxed, but after hearing his words, her heart skipped a beat: "What will be the consequences?"
"The great demon sealed by the Xu family's ancestors, if it comes out, the first thing it will do is seek revenge on the Xu family's bloodline. If its grudge is still not resolved, it will kill innocent people until all its grudge is vented." Ye Kaixuan released his hand after blessing the Dao seal and said, "So I must get it back."
With his family's lives at stake, Xu Qian couldn't smile anymore. "If there were such consequences, why did they seal the demon away back then?"
"You can check it yourself." Ye Kaixuan said with his eyes lowered.
The Xu family's bloodline is too special. Not everyone can guarantee that they can eliminate the evil spirits they attract, which leads to the tragic deaths of some clan members. In order to prevent the clan members from always suffering such a fate, the Ye family's records show that the Xu family sealed many monsters in the past. However, many of the sealed objects have dissipated because they resisted too many evil spirits, while others broke the seal, turned against their owners, and brought disaster to the people. Finally, they were eliminated by the Feng Shui master in the name of evil spirits.
I don't know from which generation the Xu family's Heavenly Master bloodline was no longer passed down to everyone, and it seemed to have slowly declined. I haven't heard that anything that the Xu family sealed back then is still around. For those that have survived to this day, the big monsters among them must be very powerful.
Xu Qian nodded. He knew some of the past. Even if he was not the one who did those things, the method of sealing living creatures was a bit cruel. Perhaps those monsters had done many evil things, but sealing and using them in that way was actually inhumane. As a normal person who had lived for twenty years and had only come into contact with pets like kittens and puppies, he could not imagine what life was like for a living creature to be imprisoned for hundreds of years.
University classes were sometimes held at night. After class, Xu Qian went home alone. Out of habit, he went back along the path where the jade pendant was lost to look for it again. However, it was difficult to find it during the day, and there was no hope at night.
He also went to all the jewelry stores in the city, big and small, but no one had seen his jade pendant. If Xu Qian had been eager to get the jade pendant back before, now he inexplicably felt less eager to get it back.
He knew it was wrong to leave the Great Demon's seal outside, and he felt panic and fear in his heart. However, he also felt that the seal had lasted so long that his ancestors hadn't been very thorough. A human being might not be able to stand being locked up in a place with internet access for a month, let alone decades or even hundreds of years...
