Chapter 363: Old Times
Mu Yuanfeng looked at Lin Xie, who was worried, and asked, "What happened?"
Lin Xie put away the jade pendant in his hand, smiled, and said, "Nothing."
Lin Xie lowered his head. He was originally wondering why the Lin family seemed so quiet. Seeing the few sparse messages on the communication jade pendant, Lin Xie finally realized that his messages must have been tampered with. However, the person who tampered with it must have done it for his own good.
"The Lin family sent a message," Mu Yuanfeng asked Lin Xie.
Lin Xie nodded and said, "Yes!"
Mu Yuanfeng had been with Lin Xie before and was well aware of his situation within the Lin family. "If you make things difficult for him, I'll let Chen'er..."
Lin Xie quickly shook his head and said, "Chen'er is a man who does great things and is very busy. I don't need to trouble him with such a small matter. I think the Lin family is probably not very satisfied with Chen'er's betrothal gift. It's not a big deal."
Mu Yuanfeng frowned and said, "Chen'er, I wouldn't give you such a small amount originally, but..."
The Lin family is indeed not kind, but that is Lin Xie's maternal family. Mu Chen gave so little. People who don't know the inside story may think that Lin Xie is ungrateful and has become obsessed with Mu Yuanfeng, even forgetting his parents.
Lin Xie nodded and said: "I understand, what Chen'er gave is already a lot. After all, originally, if
If that alchemist hadn't died accidentally, perhaps, I..."
Mu Yuanfeng's eyebrows jumped and he said: "Alchemist"
Lin Xie shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Mu Yuanfeng frowned. Mu Chen told Mu Yuanfeng about Leng Yan's matter, but Mu Yuanfeng didn't dare to tell Lin Xie. Mu Yuanfeng originally thought that Lin Xie didn't know, but at this moment he discovered that Lin Xie seemed to know everything.
Mu Chen only gave the Lin family two level seven pills. Originally, Mu Yuanfeng wanted to persuade Mu Chen to give them a little more, but after knowing about Leng Yan's situation, Mu Yuanfeng immediately gave up the idea.
Mu Yuanfeng looked at Lin Xie and said, "What did the Lin family say?"
Lin Xie frowned and said, "I told my father to meet at the restaurant next to the Bai family's territory."
Mu Yuanfeng thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."
Lin Xie shook his head and said, "No, I can go alone." It was time to make a break. Lin Xie glanced at Mu Yuanfeng and said, "If you go, my father might rely on you."
"Then you can do whatever you want." Mu Yuanfeng said.
Lin Xie nodded and said, "I'll take care of it."
…
"Father is here," Mu Chen said to Mu Yuanfeng.
Mu Yuanfeng looked at Mu Chen and said, "Lin Xie, he seems to know about Leng Yan."
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "The new mother and father are very smart and insightful. However, don't worry, father. The new mother and father are very affectionate and kind. They are good people."
"I know Xiaoqi's character very well, but the Lin family... the Lin family is too shameless." Mu Yuanfeng said.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. For a family like this, one cannot give them too much benefit at the beginning, otherwise, they will not be able to get rid of them.
"It seems his father is looking for him." Mu Yuanfeng said.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "I know. I think the new mother and father will take care of it."
Mu Yuanfeng nodded and responded, "Yeah."
…
Lin Xie walked into the restaurant's private room. Lin Ze looked at the person in front of him and suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"It's really not easy to see you nowadays." Lin Ze said angrily, unable to suppress his anger.
Lin Xie calmly walked over to Lin Ze, sat down, and said in a cold tone: "I thought my father didn't want to see me. After all, five years ago, when I returned from my training and asked to see you, didn't you tell me not to hang around you unless necessary? Were you afraid of being scared?"
Lin Ze's face was immediately filled with shame and anger. "Are you holding a grudge?"
Lin Xie poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "It's not that I'm holding a grudge, I'm just telling the truth."
Lin Ze looked at Lin Xie's calm expression and his mood suddenly became up and down.
He hadn't had a good look at his son for more than ten years. In his impression, this son was a little withdrawn, a little gloomy, and a little dull.
Lin Ze looked at Lin Xie a few more times and found that Lin Xie's cultivation level had actually risen by two stars. He thought to himself: Mu Chen is really good to Lin Xie. If not, Lin Xie's cultivation level would not have improved so quickly.
Unfortunately, although Muchen was so good to Lin Xie, he was reluctant to share any leftovers with the Lin family.
Lin Ze didn't say anything, and Lin Xie followed suit. After a while, Lin Ze couldn't stand it anymore.
"When you married Mu Yuanfeng, the Bai family only sent a small steward to deliver two level seven pills. Did you know that?" Lin Ze asked.
That young steward didn't take the Lin family seriously at all. He was always finding fault with them and acting arrogantly.
Lin Xie shook the teacup in his hand, watching the tea leaves floating up and down in the cup. He smiled and said, "Two level seven pills, isn't that a lot?"
"How can you talk like that?" Lin Ze slapped the table angrily.
Lin Xie gave a bitter laugh, raised his head, looked directly at Lin Xie, and said, "I'm just speaking the truth. Father, how much do you think I'm worth? Before Yuan Feng showed up, didn't you always think that I was a losing commodity that couldn't be sold no matter how cheaply you tried?"
Lin Ze: “…”
"Seventh brother, there is no overnight hatred between father and son! Aren't those things all in the past? You are married to such a good family now, you should at least bring some support to the family!" Lin Feixue couldn't help but interrupt, and said to Lin Xie earnestly.
Lin Xie glanced at the timid beauty next to Lin Ze, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. Lin Feixue looked at Lin Xie's expression and couldn't help but grab the corner of his clothes.
There was no deep conflict between Lin Xie and Lin Feixue, but Lin Feixue vaguely resembled Lin Yu, which made Lin Xie feel very uncomfortable.
Lin Xie glanced at Lin Feixue with a cold look, and Lin Feixue closed his mouth with a feeling of grievance.
"Xiao Qi, father, it's not just for the family. Mu Chen only gave so little, which makes our Lin family lose face, and it's also embarrassing for you! You don't know, there are some rumors outside saying that although Mu Yuanfeng married you, he didn't take you seriously." Lin Ze said tactfully.
Lin Xie sneered and said nonchalantly, "Rumors about me are just rumors after all. Back then, so many people scolded me, saying I was ugly and wanted to die quickly. If I cared about it, how could I be alive now?"
"Xiao Qi, are you so heartless?" Lin Ze said with clenched fists.
Lin Xie's expression remained unchanged, his gaze as still as a pool of water. "If that alchemist surnamed Leng hadn't died, how many pills would my father have wanted to exchange for me?"
Lin Ze's hand shook suddenly, and the teacup beside him fell onto the table.
Lin Feixue looked at this scene and couldn't help but show some doubts.
Lin Ze lowered his head. He had been worried that Lin Xie would know about this. Unexpectedly, Lin Xie actually knew about it. Mu Chen only gave him two level seven pills. Did he also know something?
"Father, why would you do that? I didn't agree to it." Lin Ze said.
"Because the chips he offered were too low, your psychological price was three level six pills. You didn't agree at that time because you wanted to delay it and raise the price. Unfortunately, that person's life was too short and he died. All the things on his body were searched and taken away. You got nothing, and then you regretted it, right?" Lin Xie said with a wry smile.
Lin Ze gritted his teeth and trembled as he said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Isn't that right? Didn't you say that? If I had known this earlier, I might as well have sold it as a level six pill," Lin Xie said lightly.
Lin's translation: "..."
Shortly after Leng Yan's death, Lin Xie left the family and went out to explore the world, and he was gone for several years.
Lin Ze looked at Lin Xie and felt an indescribable feeling of disgust in his heart. He always thought that his son was stupid. In fact, Lin Xie was more intelligent than anyone else.
Lin Xie watched Lin Ze's expression change from shock, shame, guilt... gradually to normal, without changing his expression.
Lin Xie shook the teacup in his hand. He had long given up hope on Lin Ze, so naturally he would not be disappointed again.
Lin Feixue looked at Lin Ze's face and felt that the atmosphere between Lin Ze and Lin Xie was a little tense.
Lin Feixue couldn't help but feel curious about who the alchemist named Leng was and who could have caused his father to be so frightened.
Lin Xie was silent for a long time. He raised his head and said sarcastically, "Actually, Father, compared to Master Leng, Chen'er is much more generous, isn't he? Two level seven pills are enough to be worth dozens of level six pills, aren't they?"
Lin Ze: “…”
Lin Xie took out a pill bottle, handed it to Lin Ze, and said, "There are two level seven pills in it. From now on, don't come to me anymore."
Lin Xie stood up and walked out with a wave of his sleeves.
Lin Ze gritted his teeth and didn't stop.
Lin Feixue gritted his teeth and said, "Father, Seventh Brother actually left like this. You are his father after all! He doesn't take you seriously at all." Two level seven pills are too few.
Lin Ze glanced at Lin Feixue angrily and said, "Shut up. Do you think your home isn't messy enough?"
Seeing Lin Ze's ugly expression, Lin Feixue could not help but shut her mouth awkwardly.
Originally, Lin Ze said that if he had the chance, he would introduce her to Lin Xie. If she could follow Lin Xie into the Bai family, she would have more opportunities to interact with the Bai family in the future.
Unfortunately, Lin Ze didn't say anything, and Lin Xie looked at her with disgust.
…
Lin Xie walked out of the restaurant and unexpectedly saw Mu Yuanfeng.
"Why are you here?" Lin Xie asked in surprise.
Mu Yuanfeng smiled and said, "I'm worried."
"It's nothing, I can handle it." Lin Xie said with his head down.
Muchen gave him a huge favor, so he would not be greedy and drag the Lin family, a family with bad reputation, into it.
Mu Yuanfeng took Lin Xie's hand and said, "Let's go."
Lin Xie grabbed Mu Yuanfeng's hand and said, "Okay!"
Lin Xie looked at Mu Yuanfeng's profile, and a wave of tenderness surged in his heart. Lin Xie originally thought that he was unfortunate in the first half of his life, and that this misfortune would accompany him throughout his life. At this moment, holding Mu Yuanfeng's hand, Lin Xie suddenly had a feeling that perhaps the misfortune in the first half of his life was just to wait for his current luck. Now that he could meet Mu Yuanfeng, all the previous sufferings seemed not worth mentioning.
Lin Feixue stood on a tall building, watching Mu Yuanfeng and Lin Xie leave hand in hand, with deep envy in her eyes.
