My mom lovingly stroked my hair, a faint smile on her face, "Everyone is made of flesh and blood, and he's been so good to you; how could your mother always hold a bias against him? Initially... it was just the fear that he might hurt you..."
"Hey, now that I'm back at the Lin Family, following the rules of the sect, shouldn't I first pay a visit to my grandfather and greet the Sect Master?" I blinked, looked at my mom, and changed the subject.
I had finally won my mom over; now it was my grandfather Lin Huan's turn.
Grandpa, brace yourself for the challenge~!
My mom said, "By all means, that's true, but your grandfather has gone to the attic to see Qing Li. It seems he wants to ask about the origins of those three children."
"Last night, Grandpa mentioned this matter to me; he said he was going to meet Qing Li in the attic, and that's why I came back to the Lin Family." As soon as I finished speaking, I regretted it. How could my emotional intelligence be so low? I should have said it was because I missed Mom and Grandpa.
How did I accidentally tell the truth...
My mom, gentle-natured, did not mind and seemed to recall a distant memory, nodding, "Apart from Lin Qianshan, who I picked up with Lin Gang, I met the other two later."
"Lin Qianshan was picked up by you, Mom?" I was particularly surprised, Mom had the habit of picking up children when she was young.
I knew that Lin Qianshan was picked up, but I didn't know that this great calamity was brought back to the Lin Family by my mom.
My mom took me to her residence, an ancient-looking waterside pavilion.
The orchids were lush, and the lake water was clear.
We sat down together in a grass pavilion, where a man in his thirties was making tea.
After my mom approached, the man bowed to us, "Miss Wan, Big Sister."
"Zhang Che, you can go now; I want to chat with Wanwan for a bit."
My mom casually said to the man.
The man respectfully withdrew.
With my Spiritual Eye, I could see that the man had a strong aura of Spiritual Power.
His skills were impressive, and I didn't know why he was making tea here for my mom.
Hearing his name, he even had a different surname, Zhang.
It was amazing; within such an insular sect like the Lin Family, there was a person with a different surname.
We, mother and daughter, each sat down, took a sip of tea, and she slowly started talking about the past, "That year, together with Ah Di, who is Lin Gang, we went into the forest to catch a Wolf Demon, and later found a baby in a wolf den. Originally, we intended to send him to the orphanage, but Lin Gang decided to bring him back."
"Lin Gang sent Lin Qianshan to that woman in the attic to be raised?" I asked curiously.
Just as I finished speaking,
Zhang Che returned.
Seeing Zhang Che looking somber, my mom asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Lin Gang is back!" Zhang Che restrained some fierceness in his eyes and said solemnly.
Whenever my mom mentioned her own brother, she couldn't remain calm.
Putting down the teacup, she stood up abruptly, "With Lin Gang's temperament, why would he dare to come back to face death?"
"He was tied up with ropes and dumped at the sect's back door," Zhang Che stated.
My mom narrowed her eyes, "With his abilities, ropes can't hold him."
In the Mystic Sect, everyone practices special techniques to a certain level.
Their strength increases tremendously, beyond that of normal people.
Thus, ordinary hemp ropes couldn't hold Lin Gang, indicating that his appearance must involve some conspiracy.
"Could it be a trap? Does he want to infiltrate the Lin Family and cause trouble?" I frowned, putting down the half-eaten mung bean cake.
Yu Longting once said that Lin Qianshan taking Lin Xintang away was planning the next move.
Could Lin Gang be this next move?
