Lin Su looked at her, his pupils shrank slightly. In the original world line, the original owner died, and she was immediately plagued by inner demons, and eventually passed away. Although she has returned intact now, it seems that the previous events have left some shadows on her.
This level of shadow is probably the reason why Lin Xin gave her Bingpo.
But if a loving mother is too doting and too strict with her children, she will probably end up getting herself into trouble, as her state of mind does not tolerate mistakes.
There is also a permanent solution to this problem. First, Lin Su stays in Wanbao Fairy City and never goes out. As long as he is safe under her nose, everything will be fine. Second, his cultivation is against the sky. No one in this cultivation world dares to provoke or touch him.
If he had to choose, Lin Su would naturally choose the second path. He would be filial to his parents on behalf of his original self, but he would not let himself become a dodder-like person who depends on others to grow. Lin's father probably thought the same.
Fairy Ruomiao received a gift from her son, so naturally she didn't want her son's reputation to be damaged. When Lin's father received the message, he was meeting with Shen Qingtang.
"Brother Shen, please don't be offended by my son's mischief this time." Even if he hadn't informed anyone, Father Lin would have to clean up the mess for his son.
If it were someone else, he wouldn't have to explain it, but they had experienced things together in the past and had a friendship, and he had other things to say.
Shen Qingtang sat quietly and said, "Nothing, in an auction, the highest bidder wins."
"I knew that Brother Shen was a reasonable person and would not care about such trivial matters." Lin Xin praised.
Shen Qingtang closed his eyes and said, "If the City Lord has something to say, please speak directly."
Since I know he won't care about this matter, there is no reason to apologize specifically. So if I come to him, there must be something else.
Lin Xin sighed and said, "Even though my son returned safely after being attacked this time, my wife is always worried, fearing that he will suffer the slightest harm. As a father, I naturally want to protect his life and make him happy and safe, but if a man treats him so cautiously, I'm afraid he will really become useless. He obviously came back this time to make progress, and I can't stand in his way. I just want to find a good teacher for him. I wonder if Brother Shen can do that?"
Shen Qingtang also disapproved of spoiling a child like this, but that was someone else's family affair, and it wasn't his place to say anything. "Brother Lin, my nephew is hot-tempered and a cultivator with fire spiritual roots. I have ice spiritual roots, so our natures are mutually exclusive and I won't be of any help to him."
This is rejection.
"City Lord, there's a message from the Madam." The maid stood outside the door and reported.
"What's the matter? Just tell me." Lin Xin said.
The attendant said, "Madam said that the items Young Master Su bought at the auction were gifts for her. Please ask the City Lord to clarify this for Young Master, so that those people won't make irresponsible remarks and ruin Young Master's filial piety."
Lin Xin was surprised when he heard this: "Really?"
The maid said, "Indeed, the young master went to see the lady excitedly as soon as he left the auction. The lady was very happy."
"He's really improved now," Lin Xin sighed. "Tell my wife I know about this and I'll take care of the rest. Don't let her worry."
The maid said so and left. Father Lin stood up and couldn't help but pace around twice, saying, "Why did he only give it to his mother and not to me? I remember he also bought a crescent bow, which is made of gold. It should be for me."
He was genuinely happy, and Shen Qingtang could see it. He originally thought that the young man was fooling around, but he didn't expect that he was actually filial. Although he considered himself to be upright, he still tried to adjust his mood again and again when Bingpo was robbed. Now it seems that his Taoism heart was still not firm enough, and he was just like others, with a preconceived notion about him.
"My dear nephew, you are so filial. Congratulations, Brother Lin." Shen Qingtang said.
Lin Xin suppressed his joy, sat back down, and said solemnly, "I'm not forcing you, but Su'er has always gotten whatever he wants in Wanbao City, and he might not even listen to me. When I first met you, he was able to listen to me a little. Although our spiritual roots are different, it shouldn't be difficult for you to teach a Qi-inducing kid. I don't ask for a high level of cultivation, I just ask that you teach him how to behave. Aside from the Ice Soul, I can give you any treasure you want. Wanbao Fairy City is not peaceful, and I wouldn't feel at ease if someone else became his master."
As the city lord, it really takes a lot of effort for him to manage such a large fairy city. It would be difficult for him to teach his son. Moreover, the struggle for power here is really a mess compared to the Jiuxiao Fairy Gate. But can he really teach the young man how to behave in the world?
Shen Qingtang had never accepted a disciple before, and the other juniors were all afraid of him like a tiger. However, that person was not afraid of him: "Then is he willing?"
"Of course I am willing!" Someone shouted outside the door. The voice had arrived before the person arrived. Lin Su knocked on the door outside.
Father Lin said, "Bao'er, come in quickly."
Lin Su felt that he should really stay away from this place, otherwise every time he heard that name, he would have to think about how to change his ways. He pushed the door open and walked in, first greeting Lin's father, then looked at the seated Shen Qingtang and said, "If you are not my master, I don't want a master."
His words were indeed willful, but he spoke with a smile and his appearance was not unpleasant.
Shen Qingtang even felt like he was being flattered: "This is only the second time we've met, why is this happening?"
"Of course I want to become a disciple of the best master. I didn't know your name before, but after I went back, I learned that you are a first-class person with outstanding talent and hard work. I admire you even more after hearing your legend. I originally came here to discuss other things with my father, but I didn't expect to hear such good news. I couldn't help but say it. Please forgive me, sir." Lin Su explained.
His words were truly pleasing. As the saying goes, "Don't hit someone who smiles at you." Shen Qingtang had received countless compliments, but no one had ever dared to say such words in front of him. He had never felt that he also liked to hear such compliments: "Nothing, do you really want to be my apprentice?"
"That's right." Lin Su took out the box containing the Ice Soul from his storage ring and held it in front of Shen Qingtang with both hands. "I argued with you about the Ice Soul before because I thought my mother didn't have it. I never thought that my mother already had one. I will give this one to Master as a gift of filial piety."
He gave generously, and Lin's father asked, "Now that your mother is pregnant, you won't give her anything?"
Shen Qingtang didn't answer: "Since it's a gift for your mother, I can't accept it."
"No, the one I bought has already been given to my mother. This one was given to me by my mother. She said that when I become his disciple in the future, I can give it to him so that he can see my sincerity in learning." Lin Su said clearly, "I am filial and my mother loves me. Giving it to my master is also a token of my gratitude to her. Please accept it, Master."
Father Lin: “…”
This is the one he gave me.
In front of his wife, his son comes first, he really has to stand aside. It would be better for his son to go out to study early.
