Chapter 143
Ye Rumei didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
She had also heard something about Lin Qinghen, that is, he had a birthmark on his face, but she heard that it had gradually healed somehow.
His spiritual power was still very low. Logically speaking, he had only cured his birthmark, which was not a big deal. However, according to the description of the mercenary group that came to Lincheng, the face that had been covered by the birthmark was a face that could be said to be a disaster for the country and the people. The turmoil he caused in Leicheng was even no less than that caused by Yin Jiuxiao.
After that, Lin Qinghen rarely appeared outside. He was not the kind of person who liked to be in the spotlight, and he didn't want to be stared at by others.
I had only heard these things and thought they were a bit exaggerated, after all, I had never really seen them. But a mercenary group had a photo stone, which was a rare recording spiritual tool, so I wrote it down at the time.
When Wang Yulin saw it, everyone fell silent.
There were still some remnants of a blue birthmark on his face, but just one glance through the image stone was enough to make a deep impression.
Others were amazed for a moment, but Zhang Fu, who was just taking a casual look with others, did not have the same feeling.
When he saw that face, he stood there in a daze for a long time, and finally came back to his senses.
Ye Rumei was just wondering what this matter had to do with Lin Qinghen's face when she heard Zhang Fu add another inexplicable sentence in a low voice.
"Then have you ever seen...Shen Luoying?"
Sinking cherry?
The person who once made Lin Zhongtian almost die?
Heard of it.
This eldest daughter of the Shen family was of noble status and was said to be the most beautiful woman in the spiritual world at that time. Unfortunately, something happened when she was giving birth in the 19th year of her birth and she fell into a coma, which was as good as death.
Not many people have seen her. Her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the spiritual world is mostly spread by word of mouth. It is said that she was not in good health when she was a child, and as an alchemist, she did not need to go out much, so she stayed at home.
After marrying into the Lin family, Lin Zhongtian was not very willing at first, but he had no choice due to the engagement. However, his attitude changed after they met on the wedding night, which was enough to prove that she was indeed extremely beautiful. Lin Zhongtian regarded her as the apple of his eye. Unfortunately, something went wrong.
It caused a lot of uproar at the time, and people sighed, but after so many years, even fewer people remember that face.
"So what happened? And what does this have to do with what's going on right now?"
"If I tell you that Lin Qinghen looks a lot like Shen Luoying, very much like her, and their eyebrows and eyes are almost carved from the same mold, what would you think?"
The only difference is that as a woman, Chen Luoying's eyebrows and eyes are softer and more charming, but Zhang Fu will definitely not make a mistake.
He had lived long enough and had become a heavenly-level six-star alchemist twenty years ago. He had been to the Shen family and given special lessons to Miss Shen, and had met her more than once or twice.
She is extremely talented and has a high level of comprehension, but her health is a little poor. Otherwise, her brother might not have been the current head of the Shen family. She was too young when she married into the Lin family. If she were given a few more years, when her ability to refine medicine has been cultivated, her status in the spiritual world might be higher than Lin Chongtian.
Conceiving a child in the spiritual world is not a dangerous matter. For spiritual masters with strong spiritual power, they can transfer the baby in the womb to a specially nurtured spiritual fetus at an early stage. Such facilities in large families are even more complete, which is a kind of protection for the mother and is also good for the child.
But Shen Luoying was in poor health. It was said that she was intentionally poisoned by the concubine. The fetus had been kept in her womb and could not be moved out. Something serious happened during the birth.
Zhang Fu paid special attention to the news at that time. Shen Luoying was the most talented and impressive disciple he had ever taught. Hearing that she was unconscious, he felt sad for a long time.
However, Lin Qingshuang, who was saved with great difficulty and was cherished as the apple of the eye by the widowed Lin Zhongtian, did not look like Shen Luoying. It was normal for her to look like her father, but Zhang Fu saw Lin Qinghen in front of him.
His mind was totally confused.
For a long time, whenever he closed his eyes, that face was in his mind, especially the expression when he turned around and looked at people, which was exactly the same as Shen Luoying.
"City Lord Ye, think about it carefully. The engagement between the Yin family and the Lin family is known to everyone in the spirit world. The marriage certificate is of the highest standard, witnessed by heaven and earth. Can Lin Zhongtian really just find someone to take over? Is Lin Qingshuang...really Chen Luoying's child?"
Ye Rumei: "..."
She was also stunned when she heard these things.
Outsiders may not know everything that happens in the Lin family's inner house, but they are very clear about the difference between Lin Qinghen and Lin Qingshuang.
After seeing Lin Qinghen, if that face that looked similar to Shen Luoying wasn't enough to explain anything, then her marriage with Yin Jiuxiao would be explained.
...No way?
"Even their talents and interests are similar. At that time, Chen Luoying also liked to study things other than refining medicine, improving spiritual plants and techniques..." Zhang Fu was getting more and more shocked the more he thought about it. "City Lord Ye, it was the Lin family who made a mistake. Lin Zhongtian made a mistake! The future of the City of Tears does not only lie in Yin Jiuxiao. Lin Qinghen is even more extraordinary!"
If his birthmark hadn't been covering it up for so many years, anyone with a discerning eye would have probably known it at a glance.
Moreover, Zhang Fu heard that there was a descendant of the Shen family in the butterfly dream, Shen Liyan. Many people had seen his special spiritual essence in the alchemist competition, so there was no mistake that he was the lost child of the Shen family.
I didn’t understand before why he didn’t go back after discovering his talent but was so devoted to it. Now it seems...
Zhang Fu was feeling very uneasy because he had many speculations about this matter. Coincidentally, the Yin family sent Song Xuemiao's letter to him. He did not say it directly, but tentatively confirmed some things, which made him more certain of his speculations.
Lin Qinghen must be Shen Luoying's child.
I don't know what the concubine did at that time. She deliberately poisoned her to make her give birth early when Lin Zhongtian was not around. It happened to be the same day as mine. I don't know what means she used to replace the child.
Ye Rumei was still hesitant at first, but Zhang Fu had really lived long and was well-informed, so there was no need for him to lie.
This leaves her with even less choice.
Originally, I thought that I should just not get seriously involved in the fight with the Yin family and make some preparations.
If the Yin family narrowly won and she was already lazing around in the back, then she would still have something to say, saying that she had held back from the beginning; if the Yin family was really wiped out, she would not suffer any loss if Wang Yulin won, and it would not be the first time she was excluded. After all, she was a sixth-star Heavenly Rank, what could Chen Lianyan do to her?
If the Yin family is defeated and Jiuxiao escapes, it will take several more years for him to grow up. She can use this time to pack up and prepare to run away, taking away everything she should take, so that she won't be found when she comes back for revenge.
Ye Rumei is the biggest and most cunning fence-sitter, so her tendency is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances. Betraying Wang Yulin in advance at this moment is not the best choice.
But after hearing what Zhang Fu said, Ye Rumei no longer had such a calm and confident attitude when she read the letter again.
The letter said that the past was bygones be bygones, as long as she made the right choice now.
Moreover, her words hinted that the Yin family now had far more bargaining chips than she could see, and Wang Yulin's luck was about to run out.
In fact, Yin Jiuxiao was referring more to the Demonic Ruins that were about to reopen, but he certainly wouldn't say it clearly at this time.
But after Ye Rumei understood these words, she realized that this was not what they meant.
Could it be that Lin Qinghen has also discovered his own life experience?
"I also heard that Lin Yunsi, the current chief alchemist of Die Meng, is his cousin in terms of seniority and is also highly regarded in the Lin family. He came here on purpose," Zhang Fu said. "These children are all extraordinary."
The Yin family's habit is for the adults to lead the way, leaving the young children as the manpower. This was the case last time, and if a fight really breaks out this time, it will probably be the same.
Ye Rumei originally thought that no matter what Yin Jiuxiao was like, he still needed time to grow, and she still had room for improvement.
But looking at it this way, if the Yin family was defeated, Yin Jiuxiao probably wouldn't stay in Beizhou to hide. Although the barrier separated the inside and the outside, causing information to be blocked, it was not completely impassable.
Once Yin Jiuxiao takes Lin Qinghen out of Beizhou, they will have a place to stay. If they run to the Lin family or the Shen family, this matter will be impossible to cover up.
Before, seeing that Lin Yunsi was not a direct descendant of the Lin family's patriarch, Chen Liyan would not be taken seriously if he returned home after being away for a long time, and it was impossible for him to come back to seek revenge for the Yin family. But now with the addition of Lin Qinghen, the situation has changed!
Lin Zhongtian went crazy for a long time after Shen Luoying fell into a coma and did not remarry for many years. How could he not recognize that face? The head of the Shen family also valued Shen Luoying as his sister, otherwise he would not have torn his face with the Lin family directly because of that incident.
With the Lin and Shen families coming together, how would she have time to run?
When Ye Rumei thought about it carefully, she felt horrified.
If she had a choice, she would definitely run to the Yin family now. She didn't want to follow Weng Yan and die in the near future.
But she had just talked to Zhang Fu and had no time to do anything when news came that Qin Xiang had woken up.
His injuries were not completely healed, but he was awake which meant he was fine. Chen Lianyan's injuries were more serious and it looked like she was about to wake up. Of course, Weng Yan gathered everyone immediately. At this critical juncture, Ye Rumei couldn't hide either, so she could only take Zhang Fu with her.
Qin Xiang still had a bit of bruises on his face. After listening to Weng Yan's words and knowing what had happened recently, he became more confident when looking at the mercenaries who had come to his doorstep, and his eyes were full of cruelty.
"When the principal wakes up, we will seek revenge on the Yin family!"
Wang Yulin still has quite a few useful spiritual weapons, which were all taken out by Weng Yan. When they are fully prepared and attack together, the Yin family may not be able to resist at the moment.
"You can ignore the others, but you must kill Yin Hengxie and Yin Jiuxiao," Qin Xiang added, "Without Yin Jiuxiao, the Yin family will lose a large part of their energy."
He did have a clear goal. If it were anyone else, Yin Jiuxiao would be their biggest target.
But Ye Rumei asked another question at this moment: "What about Lin Qinghen...?"
"Lin Qinghen? He has to be kept alive, we can't kill him," Qin Xiang frowned, "According to the rules of the spirit world, alchemists are not generally harmed. Although he is not an alchemist, his abilities are indeed somewhat strange, and they are very useful in the field of elixirs. If the Yin family is gone, he will have nothing to rely on, and he will have to listen to us. No matter how many schemes he has, he can't cause any trouble."
The mercenary added, "Yes, yes, yes, we have to keep him. His spiritual power is low so it's easy to manipulate him. And he has that face, so it's useful to keep him."
After saying this, he chuckled a few times, revealing some other meanings.
Ye Rumei: "..."
Look, even Qin Xiang will leave Lin Qinghen.
If he doesn't die, I'm afraid you will be the next to die. Why are you still thinking about all these nonsense?
She sighed silently, then exchanged a glance with Zhang Fu, and they both understood each other's meaning.
