Chapter 89: She Didn’t Kill You, You’re Lucky Your Ancestors Are Watching Over You
Lin Fengmian listened to Li Zhuxuan’s seemingly innocuous questions and couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
Oh no, Mother’s suspicious nature hasn’t changed at all.
Xia Yunxi and Zhou Xiaoping were completely caught up in Mother’s rhythm, and if this continued, they’d even reveal the color of their underwear.
He didn’t want his mother to know about his antics at the Joyful Union Sect.
He quickly said with a smile, “Mother, everyone has been traveling and is tired. I’ll take them to rest first.”
Li Zhuxuan suddenly realized and apologized, “Look at me, I got carried away. I’ll take you there myself.”
Lin Fengmian quickly waved his hand. “No need, I know my way around my own house.”
Lin Wencheng suddenly said, “The news of your return should have spread. Tonight, I’ll host a banquet for our relatives and friends to welcome you back.”
Lin Fengmian casually agreed, “Father, Mother, you decide.”
He pulled Xia Yunxi and gave Wen Qinlin a meaningful look as he prepared to leave.
“Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, we’ll say goodbye first.”
Wen Qinlin and the others said goodbye to Lin Wencheng and Li Zhuxuan before leaving.
After the four left, Lin Wencheng said helplessly, “Look at you, you scared your son so much.”
Li Zhuxuan snorted and took a sip of tea. “I only asked a few questions. Look how nervous he was!”
Lin Wencheng said with a wry smile, “He just came back. Don’t scare him away. We have plenty of time later.”
Li Zhuxuan hummed in agreement and then smiled. “This boy has come back just in time. There’s only one month left before the three-year deadline.”
Lin Wencheng couldn’t help but laugh. “Indeed, it seems that his marriage with the Zhao family girl is destined.”
On the other side, Lin Fengmian led Xia Yunxi and the others in a hasty retreat.
Back in his Listening Wind Courtyard, Lin Fengmian arranged rooms for everyone.
Out of personal preference, he arranged for Xia Yunxi to stay next to him, while Wen Qinlin and Zhou Xiaoping were in a courtyard a little further away.
Lin Fengmian said, “You can rest for a while. I’ll have someone call you later.”
Wen Qinlin and the others were indeed tired, so they nodded and went back to their rooms to rest.
Lin Fengmian had some thoughts, but when he saw Xia Yunxi’s tired face, he decided against it.
In the mountains of Zhao Kingdom, four streaks of light flew across the sky like shooting stars.
Inside the light were four beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, led by Liu Mei.
“Senior Sister Liu, what should we do? It seems that the boy has Heaven’s Patrol Guards with him now,” Mo Ruyu frowned.
They had just left Changzhou City when they unexpectedly learned about Lin Fengmian’s murder in the city and Wen Qinlin’s presence.
Liu Mei thought for a moment and said helplessly, “We can only play it by ear now. If the Heavenly Patrol Guards are too strong, we’ll have to use softer tactics.”
Wang Yanran asked curiously, “What kind of soft tactics?”
Liu Mei looked at Chen Qingyan who had a blank expression and giggled. “Of course, it’s the beauty trap. This task will be left to Junior Sister Chen.”
“It is said that Lin Fengmian was lured by Junior Sister Chen’s charm and joined the Joyful Union Sect. Junior Sister Chen, you should make up for your past mistakes.”
Chen Qingyan remained indifferent and said lightly, “Why does it smell sour? Senior Sister Liu, are you not convinced?”
Liu Mei’s face turned cold, but she suddenly smiled. “A little bit. How about a bet?”
“Bet on what?” Chen Qingyan asked.
“Let’s see who can lure the boy back to the Joyful Union Sect first. If you win, this matter will be settled. If you lose…”
Liu Mei whispered a few words to Chen Qingyan, “What do you think?”
Chen Qingyan looked at her in surprise and then nodded, “Alright.”
Liu Mei felt a surge of anger when she saw her confident attitude.
She decided to go all out, not believing that she couldn’t win!
She coldly said, “Let’s speed up. We must reach Ning City within three days!”
“Yes, Senior Sister.”
The four rays of light accelerated and flew towards Ning City like a whirlwind.
Lin Fengmian was completely unaware of this and slept soundly until dusk when someone gently knocked on the door, waking him from his slumber.
“Young master, young master, are you awake?”
“Who is it?”
Lin Fengmian reflexively sat up, only to realize that he was at home and couldn’t quite come to his senses.
After a while, he smiled and said, “So I’m already home.”
He got out of bed and opened the door. Sure enough, it was Little Butterfly.
“Young Master, Madam has prepared a welcoming banquet for you and the three distinguished guests. I’ve prepared hot water. Please get ready and come over.”
Lin Fengmian nodded, “I understand! I’ll wake up my friends and we’ll go over.”
Little Butterfly nodded and walked with Lin Fengmian in the courtyard, occasionally stealing glances at the handsome Lin Fengmian.
Lin Fengmian smiled, “Why do you keep looking at me? My face isn’t full of flowers. Are you interested in your young master?”
Little Butterfly’s face turned red and she stuttered, unable to speak, but she stopped sneaking glances at him.
Lin Fengmian first went to Xia Yunxi’s room and woke her up, telling her that they would have dinner together later and that hot water had been prepared for her to freshen up.
Xia Yunxi asked nervously, “Will there be many people?”
Lin Fengmian thought for a moment, “There should be a few of my uncles and elders, not too many.”
Xia Yunxi became even more nervous and said anxiously, “Then I must prepare myself.”
Lin Fengmian patted her head and smiled, “You don’t have to be nervous. We don’t have to live by their rules.”
Xia Yunxi said seriously, “But I still want to make a good impression on your family.”
Lin Fengmian smiled, “Then do as you wish. I’ll go wake up Brother Wen and Xiaoping. If you need anything, just tell Little Butterfly.”
Xia Yunxi nodded, and Lin Fengmian instructed Little Butterfly to stay and help Xia Yunxi with her preparations, then he went into the next room.
Thinking that Wen Qinlin liked Zhou Xiaoping, Lin Fengmian decided to wake up Wen Qinlin first and have him wake up Zhou Xiaoping.
When he arrived at the room, he found the door slightly ajar and pushed it open.
“Junior Sister, did you get the clothes?”
Wen Qinlin was changing behind a screen and stuck her head out to get the clothes, only to see a stunned Lin Fengmian.
She quickly retreated and wrapped her outer robe around herself, softly saying, “Why are you here? Get out!”
Lin Fengmian not only didn’t leave, but walked towards her with a frown, “Brother Wen, when did you get hurt?”
Wen Qinlin was stunned, then looked at the white bandages wrapped around her body, tightened her robe, and moved to the other side.
“I’m fine, get out.”
Lin Fengmian persisted and frowned, “You’re wrapped like this and you say you’re fine? Let me see how serious it is.”
He reached out to pull at Wen Qinlin’s robe, revealing her snow-white shoulder, making him pause.
“Brother Wen, your skin is so soft, like a woman’s.”
Wen Qinlin’s face turned slightly red, and she finally couldn’t take it anymore, sending Lin Fengmian flying with a wave of her hand.
“I said I’m fine, stay away from me!”
Lin Fengmian stumbled back, completely confused.
When he remembered the scene he saw, that snow-white shoulder, Wen Qinlin’s shy and annoyed expression, it felt somewhat enticing.
He quickly shook off this terrifying thought.
Damn it, was his sexual orientation a bit off?
At that moment, he heard footsteps, and it was Zhou Xiaoping returning with men’s clothes.
He asked confusedly, “Xiaoping, what are you doing?”
Zhou Xiaoping smiled, “Brother Wen didn’t have many clean clothes left. Since there’s a banquet tonight, I went to the mansion to get some clothes, they seem to be yours.”
She asked curiously, “What about you?”
Lin Fengmian scratched his head awkwardly, “I was kicked out by your brother. He seems to be seriously injured. Do you know what happened?”
“Injured?” Zhou Xiaoping was also shocked.
Lin Fengmian nodded seriously, “Yes, I saw bandages wrapped around his chest. It was quite alarming. I wanted to check it out, but he kicked me out.”
Zhou Xiaoping’s face was strange, “You wanted to check? He didn’t kill you, you’re lucky that your ancestors are watching over you.”
Lin Fengmian said seriously, “Xiaoping, knowing he’s hurt and not telling me is wrong. You should persuade your brother to get checked out.”
Zhou Xiaoping could only nod awkwardly, “It’s okay, I’ll go check on him. It’s nothing serious.”
Lin Fengmian was still worried, “Tell your brother to be careful. No wonder he reacted so strongly when I patted him last time. It must have hit his wound.”
