Chapter 99: Is This Girl Very Important To You?
Wen Qinlin gave her an angry look, immediately seeing through the girl’s little intrigues in her heart.
However, Zhou Xiaoping’s words were indeed true. As cultivators, they had the responsibility to eliminate demons and monsters that caused harm.
“I have no objections. Brother Lin, what about you?”
Lin Fengmian’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he smiled and said, “Since this fox demon is causing trouble in my hometown, I can’t just sit idly by.”
“There’s nothing else to do. Brother Wen, how about we check out the town tomorrow?”
Wen Qinlin nodded, “All right, just let me know when you’re ready!”
When they returned to the Lin residence, they saw that Li Zhuxuan was still trying to pull Xia Yunxi aside to talk.
Lin Fengmian quickly stopped her and said, “Mother, there will be plenty of time later. Yunxi is tired, let her rest first. I have something to discuss with you.”
Li Zhuxuan had no choice but to give up. After Xia Yunxi and the others went back to their rooms, she glared at him and said, “What, you think I’m going to eat your Yunxi?”
Seeing her anger, Lin Fengmian quickly stepped forward to massage her shoulders and grinned, “How could you? I really have something important to talk about.”
“Spit it out if you have something to say!” Li Zhuxuan said sternly.
“Mother, please keep an eye out for me these days. If anyone comes looking for me, let me know immediately!” Lin Fengmian instructed.
“Who would come looking for you? Any special characteristics?” Lin Wencheng asked curiously.
Lin Fengmian thought for a moment before describing, “A very beautiful woman, dressed in white, holding an ancient sword.”
Li Zhuxuan rolled her eyes, “Fengmian, with this description, it’s hard for your mother to find this person! How beautiful is ‘very beautiful’?”
Lin Fengmian laughed awkwardly, “I’ll draw a portrait of her later. Just keep an eye out for any woman who comes looking for me.”
Li Zhuxuan looked at him suspiciously, “Is this girl very important to you?”
Lin Fengmian nodded seriously, “Very important!”
Li Zhuxuan couldn’t help but doubt, “You rascal, are you thinking of having more than one wife? Do you really want to have three wives and four concubines?”
Lin Fengmian chuckled, “Mother, you’re thinking too much. Besides, having more wives and concubines would help you get more grandchildren sooner!”
Li Zhuxuan nodded thoughtfully, “That makes sense!”
Seeing Lin Wencheng looking interested, she smiled, “What, you want that too?”
Lin Wencheng quickly waved his hands, “No, no!”
Li Zhuxuan said threateningly, “That’s best. Don’t even think about it!”
She didn’t mind Lin Fengmian having multiple wives and concubines, but she didn’t allow Lin Wencheng to do the same, showing her double standards.
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but laugh at his father’s defeated expression.
“By the way, father, mother, I would like to ask you something. Where did this family heirloom jade pendant come from?”
Lin Wencheng looked at the double fish pendant that Lin Fengmian took out and said confusedly, “It was passed down from our ancestors. Where else would it come from?”
Lin Fengmian was speechless, “How did our ancestors get it, and why did it become our family heirloom? Isn’t there any record?”
Lin Wencheng thought for a moment, “We would have to check the family records to find out.”
“Father, how can you not even know that? Tsk, what an unworthy descendant,” Lin Fengmian shook his head.
Lin Wencheng was so angry that he wanted to hit this rascal, but someone beat him to it.
Li Zhuxuan slapped Lin Fengmian’s head and scolded, “You unfilial son, how dare you say that about your father!
Lin Fengmian cried out in pain and rubbed his head, but he did not argue. His expression gradually turned serious.
“I really am an unfilial son…”
Li Zhuxuan couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What’s wrong with you, boy? If you have something to say, don’t hold back.”
Lin Fengmian hesitated for a long time before speaking, “Father, Mother, how about we move out of Ning City?”
As expected, Lin Wencheng immediately blew his top, “You rascal, what nonsense are you talking about!”
Li Zhuxuan stopped him and said, “Don’t be so rash, let him finish first!”
She looked at Lin Fengmian and asked, “Tell me, what kind of trouble have you gotten us into that you want us to leave Ning City?”
“It seems nothing can be hidden from Mother,” Lin Fengmian said guiltily. “I have offended some powerful people in the cultivation world, and they may come looking for me. I don’t want anything to happen to you because of me.”
Li Zhuxuan’s expression became serious as she earnestly said, “Tell us the whole story, I’ll help you analyze it.”
Lin Fengmian shook his head, “Mother, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I can’t. I’ve already contacted the Heavenly Patrol Tower and can arrange for you to leave at any time.”
Lin Wencheng fumed, “You unfilial son, always causing trouble for the family! Do you know that Ning City is the root of the Lin family?”
“You want us to leave Ning City, isn’t that the same as taking our lives?”
Lin Fengmian knew that he was wrong. If he hadn’t insisted on cultivating, it wouldn’t have come to this.
But now, regret was useless.
He said seriously, “Father, Mother, this time I was wrong. You can scold me or punish me at will, but this is a matter of life and death. I hope you can seriously consider it.”
Lin Wencheng was about to scold him again when Li Zhuxuan stopped him. She nodded, “I understand. Your father and I will discuss it thoroughly.”
Lin Fengmian nodded, “Please make a decision as soon as possible. I’ll have Brother Wen contact the Heavenly Patrol Tower to arrange your relocation.”
Li Zhuxuan hummed and said, “All right, all right, go get some rest.”
Lin Fengmian stood up, his mind heavy with worry, “Father, Mother, you should rest early too.”
After he left, Lin Wencheng was still visibly angry. After a long time, he said, “This unfilial son always brings trouble to the family.”
Li Zhuxuan smiled helplessly and said, “Fengmian didn’t mean it. Look, he doesn’t feel well either. Now that the rice is cooked…”
Lin Wencheng said angrily, “There is a family rule that we Lin family are not allowed to leave Ning City unless…”
“Unless what?” Li Zhuxuan asked curiously.
“Uh, I forgot… I need to check the records,” Lin Wencheng said awkwardly.
Li Zhuxuan rolled her eyes, “You, you’re no better than Fengmian…”
Lin Wencheng suddenly grinned, “Looks like Fengmian is a lost cause. Wife, shall we…”
Li Zhuxuan glared at him and said, “You old pervert, you want to kill me? You are so old and still want to give birth!”
Lin Wencheng laughed awkwardly, “No, no, we haven’t been intimate for a long time, how about…”
“What are you looking at? Go back to your room and take a bath, then rest!”
Li Zhuxuan turned and left, Lin Wencheng chuckled, suddenly full of energy, and happily followed her.
Lin Fengmian walked back slowly, his mood heavy.
When he returned to the courtyard, he found a graceful figure standing under the moonlight.
Under the soft moonlight, she looked like a fairy from the Jade Pool. The evening breeze blew as if she was about to ascend into the sky.
