The college entrance exam results haven't been released yet, and she doesn't know if she'll have a chance to stay in Beijing.
If Lin An goes to school in the capital two months later, but she can only go to the Taoist Academy in Jiang Province, wouldn't the two of them be separated forever?
The thought that it might not be easy to see her again in the future made her feel extremely depressed.
She said to Lin An with reluctance:
"Lin An, the high-speed train from Haishi to Beijing is very fast. Can you come visit me often when you have time?"
Lin An didn't know how to answer. After all, the company was in a phase of rapid development, and he couldn't just leave.
Tong Jiaojiao took over the conversation and answered directly for Lin An:
"What are you thinking, kid? Lin An's company has hundreds of employees, and each employee represents a family. Think about it, if the boss is always going to other cities to play, wouldn't that be very irresponsible?"
Leng Lin pouted, thinking to herself, "What's the point of growing up? There's no freedom at all, and I have to take responsibility all the time."
Lin An coaxed her, saying:
"Linlin, I'll come to see you when I'm not too busy at work."
Leng Lin pretended to be understanding and said, "It's alright, Lin An, we'll meet again someday."
At this moment, Uncle Wu reminded him:
“Miss, let’s go. Driving is a bit slower than taking the high-speed rail. We’d better get there before dinner, as the master is waiting for you.”
As he spoke, he had already opened the rear door of the Rolls-Royce.
Tong Jiaojiao looked at Lin An, her eyes filled with reluctance, and said softly:
"Lin An, take good care of yourself."
"Take care, everyone."
As soon as Lin An finished speaking, the Leng family of three got into the car.
Their Rolls-Royce was in the middle of the convoy. As the car started, Leng Lin, sitting in the passenger seat, waved towards Lin An's direction out the window.
Lin An waved to her as well.
Nobody knows how long it will be before we meet again.
Uncle Wu's car was the last one in the convoy, and he was responsible for bringing up the rear.
The cars ahead had already driven far away, but he was still standing next to Lin An.
Lin An realized that the old man was taking so long to get on the bus because he had something to say to him.
He said, "Uncle Wu, please feel free to speak your mind."
Uncle Wu smiled slightly; communicating with intelligent people was indeed effortless. He said seriously:
"There are some things I think it's better to tell you sooner rather than later."
Lin An's face darkened. This kind of opening probably wasn't going to be pleasant. He gave a muffled "hmm."
Uncle Wu cleared his throat and said:
"You and Linlin are both eighteen years old this year, and life is just beginning. When you are young, you may mistakenly believe that you can be with someone forever when you meet them. But when you grow up, you will find that people come and go, and most of them are just passersby."
Lin An, having lived two lives, largely agreed with this statement.
Uncle Wu continued, "I just want to tell you that Linlin is different from you. You are not from the same world. It's not so bad to be just a passerby."
Lin An was taken aback. Of course he knew that the Tong family was exceptionally powerful, far beyond his reach. However, given his abilities, he was confident that he could become one of the top billionaires in the country within a few years. He was absolutely capable of providing Leng Lin with the same affluent life as she had in the Tong family.
Uncle Wu frowned and explained:
"Don't misunderstand me. I know you are a rare talent in the world, and I highly recognize your intelligence and business acumen."
He sighed and said:
"But even if you are exceptionally talented, you are still just a mortal. Being able to use a treasure to summon heavenly lightning is already your limit." (This book does not contain any cultivation elements; that's another story.)
“Linlin is different. I believe you noticed her abnormality a long time ago. She only touched a little spiritual power from the rough talisman you drew and she has already awakened a body of divine power. She perfectly inherited the bloodline of the Tong family. She is the person with the highest martial arts talent I have ever seen.”
"She will become the future mistress of the Tong family, and the world she will have access to is one you will never have access to."
Lin An remained silent. He had a premonition about what Uncle Wu had said, which was why he hadn't taken Leng Lin to see Lu Miao yet. He didn't want to face a reality he didn't want to accept.
It is said that wealth does not last three generations. Several clans that were once on par with the Tongjia clan have long since disappeared. The fact that the Jia clan, as a member of the imperial family hundreds of years ago, has been able to stand strong must have a reason.
Uncle Wu continued, "Although Linlin is not good at academics, she is of pure character and has an outstanding bloodline. The young lady was born a mortal, and then she went against the family's arrangements and secretly married the mortal Leng Feng. So we gave up on the idea of her having any offspring."
"Among the younger generation of the Tong family, only Tong Jun has some talent left. We are all very worried that the Tong family's talent bloodline will be completely cut off."
"Until we met Linlin, when I first stood within a meter of her, I felt a powerful magnetic field around her. The Qi suppressed in her body was almost bursting out. The Qi originates from the same source. I have only seen this once in my life."
"Thank Heaven for bestowing blessings upon the Tong clan!"
At this point, Uncle Wu was already in tears.
His voice trembled as he said, "Linlin will become a top figure in another world that you cannot reach. She has the opportunity to redefine the pinnacle of martial arts, and she has responsibilities and righteousness to bear."
“She will probably go to a Taoist academy and she will also go into seclusion to cultivate. She has wasted many years and there is a lot she needs to learn.”
"I already know about you and Zhou Ya, and I think you two are a good match."
“I don’t want Linlin to become a little girl who is obsessed with love and insecure, nor do I want to see the chosen one become a housewife. She has a long road ahead of her, so let go.”
Lin An's heart clenched with pain, and a tear rolled down his cheek.
He gave a wry smile, thinking that being just a passerby in Leng Lin's legendary life wasn't so bad, at least he appeared early in the story.
After a long silence, he forced a smile and said:
“When I was going through the toughest time, Linlin comforted me, so of course I can’t stop her from becoming a better person.”
"Don't worry, Uncle Wu, I'll handle it."
Uncle Wu choked up and said, "Lin An, on behalf of the Tong family, thank you. From now on, the Tong family will be your strongest support."
"As for Qian Sanyuan and Lin Zhe, even if you wanted them dead, the Tong family could do it effortlessly."
"Thank you, Uncle Wu."
Just before Uncle Wu got into the car, Lin An couldn't help but call out to him:
"Uncle Wu, please take care of yourself and also take good care of my godmother and Linlin."
Uncle Wu replied, "I will do my best."
"Also, I hope Linlin can be happy and not be too tired."
Lin An couldn't imagine how a girl who was always dizzy and couldn't even solve the simplest functions could conquer the world.
He was afraid she would be scared, afraid she would be tired, afraid of her...
At this moment, Leng Lin sat in the car, looking at the blue sky outside the window, thinking about going back to Haishi to visit Lin An in a few days.
She was unaware that the Tong family's rigorous and systematic training awaited her.
Today we part ways, and years will pass. Those who brought us joy in our youth will eventually become the white moonlight in our memories.
