Chapter 239: Living with the Tail

The shopkeeper’s smile was uglier than crying: “Mr. Lin, please be magnanimous and don’t bother with me…”

Old Escort Chief Lin looked at his son and silently took the silver.

Wei Yan came out and gestured to Lin Lao, the old escort, to let him go together. He then said, "By the way, our leader has already said that Chaotian Sect will never accept Shen's business again! If you, your ragtag bunch of shitty relatives, dare to use our banner again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The shopkeeper was shocked and said, "That's impossible! The head of the Shen family is the brother of the Shen family master!"

The people following behind Wei Yan couldn't help but laugh: "How is it impossible? Shen Fuyan is jumping around and courting death every day. Does he really think we are soft persimmons?"

Wei Yan turned back and said, "By the way, let's use this as an excuse to spread the word."

The subordinate took a look at the cloth shop's sign and said, "Okay!"

The shopkeeper was shaking like a sieve.

Losing the protection of Chaotianmen was not a big deal. After all, he was not a legitimate refugee. But the Shen family had offended Chaotianmen, and Chaotianmen used his case as an excuse to say this. Wouldn't he have offended the Shen family at the same time? Then, what else could he do? Manager Zhou came over with all his strength: "Cousin?"

"Get lost!" The shopkeeper slapped him. "It's all because of you! You insisted on saying that the Lin family is easy to bully! Save this little money! You want to kill me!"

Manager Zhou was anxious: "It's obviously you..."

The dogs started biting each other, but Wei Yan ignored it.

After they walked a distance and turned the corner, the old escort leader Lin tried to bow: "Thank you for your help, hero. I'll give you some tea with this silver..."

He gritted his teeth and handed over the banknote.

If it wasn't given in person, he might have kept some for his family to celebrate the New Year and then given some to his little daughter. But he saw it being given with his own eyes, and if he withheld it, it would have been tactless.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yan pushed him back and said repeatedly: "Old man, please don't do this, you are embarrassing me... I am telling the truth, your grandson has taken our master as his master and is his direct disciple. According to seniority, I have to call him uncle, don't you know?"

The old escort leader Lin finally believed it and was pleasantly surprised. "Really? I, we have been out escorting for more than half a year and just came back. Who is it? Is it Chang'er?"

"Yes, yes," Wei Yan said with a smile, "My uncle's name is Tang Shichang. It is said that he is born with great strength and my master likes him very much. I came here a few days ago and saw that your door was closed. I knew that you were not back from escorting and I was lucky to meet you here."

The few members of the Lin family behind were also shocked and exchanged glances with each other.

As they were talking, they returned to the escort agency. When they went in, they saw that the walls were empty. Wei Yan was stunned and said anxiously, "Look at me, I'm so confused. How long has it been since anyone has lived here? I'll call someone to clean it up!"

He said he was cleaning, but he actually wanted to ask someone to buy some furniture. Old Escort Lin was an old hand, so how could he not understand? He said anxiously, "No, no, we can't stay here for a few days. We might have to leave again next year if we get some business. It's just a mess even if we clean it up."

Wei Yan said: "But this is not the right way! How can we live here in this cold winter? Well, I have an empty house here, no one lives there, you can follow me..."

Elder Escort Lin said anxiously: "No need, why bother you like this..."

"Hey, my uncle's grandfather, why are you bothering me?" Wei Yan was a man of the world, and he didn't care about trivial matters. He dragged the man away and was about to leave. When he was about to leave, he saw a man flash in. When he saw this situation, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Is it Mr. Lin?"

The old escort leader Lin asked, "Who are you?"

He took a step forward and put his hand on his waist: "Master, who is this?"

Elder Escort Lin: “…”

He obviously thought Wei Yan was a bad guy, but he was defending him, right? But he didn't know him?

The old escort leader Lin asked anxiously, "This is the hero Wei from Chaotianmen. May I ask who you are?"

The man immediately let go of his hand and said, "So you are from the Dragon Slayer Sect. Nice to meet you. I am from the Yuan Family. My name is Yan Yi."

"Oh," Wei Yan also let go of his hand that was pressing on the hilt of the knife: "One of us! Nice to meet you."

Yan Yi took out a letter from his bosom and said with a smile, "Your daughter sent me a letter. It was only two days ago. I heard that the old man was back, so I rushed to deliver it."

Old Escort Lin thanked him hastily, took the letter, and said, "The master of the house said that the old man had not been home for a long time, and it must be difficult for people to live at home, so he ordered me to buy a house for the old man and his family to live in."

"Hey?" Wei Yan said, "You are being disrespectful. I have already invited the old man."

Yan Yi smiled and said, "Since Master Wei invited us at the last minute, I'm afraid we still have to clean up. We have already prepared our place, so just go and stay here, old man."

He said to Mr. Lin, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, your grandson Tang Shirong has taken our old man as his master, and we are legitimate relatives. The main thing is that our old man, at least he has a title, so if Chen Benshan dares to do evil again, he has someone to rely on."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yan nodded.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Back then, they took the initiative to change their name from Tulongmen to Chaotianmen to show goodwill to the new dynasty. This proves that this sect is not the kind of ruffians who shout about robbing the rich, helping the poor, and killing officials every day. They have always been very smart and would never confront the government head-on. They also accept some of the twists and turns in the process and will not blindly show off their strength.

So Wei Yan said: "That's right. With the Lord standing here, if Chen Benshan dares to attack again... Oh, I'm afraid he doesn't dare to do it now. The imperial envoy hasn't left yet! He's just acting like a coward!"

Lin Dalang couldn't help but ask, "Uncle?"

They had been on the road the whole time and had no idea what was happening here. They only heard that their two nephews had become successful and seemed to have respectively chosen two families as their teachers. But they didn't expect that another uncle would appear!

Wei Yan hurried over and put his arm around his shoulder: "Come on, let's talk on the way. Did you know that Tang Sanshui is dead? Ah? You don't even know this? Did you know that old woman Liu has turned into a fierce ghost? What, you don't even know this? Let me explain it to you..."

Yan Yi smiled and said, "Come on, old man, let's get in the car."

Old Escort Chief Lin was really overwhelmed, and Mrs. An, Lin Erlang and Lin Sanlang felt like they were in a dream.

There was a carriage outside. Several people from the Lin family got on the carriage, and several people from Chaotianmen also got on horses. Wei Yan talked to Lin Dalang all the way, and the old escort leader Lin didn't care about etiquette and opened the letter as soon as he got on the carriage.

As soon as it was opened, two silver bills fell out.

Old Escort Captain Lin took a look at it and without time to put it away, he hurriedly read the letter.

The letter written by his daughter only reported good news and not bad news. It was all about how great I was, how awesome I was, and how well I was doing… However, when thinking about what Wei Yan said outside, old Escort Lin felt a pain in his heart when he thought about the life Lin Mulan had lived in the past few years.

At the bottom of the letter, there was a small piece of paper with Wu Tuantuan's handwriting saying, "Grandpa, come live at my house. Xinbao will take care of you." Finally, he added, "Come with your uncle, aunt, and cousin."

Old Escort Lin suddenly felt a lump in his throat, and he swallowed quickly and choked up, then handed the letter to his son.

Mrs. An was illiterate, but Lin Erlang and Lin Sanlang were both literate, so they read the poem in a low voice to her. The children also heard it and could not help but show their joy on their faces.
