C15

Wind City, main street.

In second place of the homecoming convoy was an equally magnificent carriage.

"How is it? Will it be very troublesome? " She didn't care what he had done. She only cared if he was punished.

She was obviously unable to adapt to the current environment and the rhythm of the situation, but she stubbornly refused to take the initiative to speak first. "There won't be any big trouble, at worst it'll just be a restriction, you know that doesn't mean much to me," Linke smiled brightly at Xue'er and saw the latter sneer in disdain. She obviously didn't agree with his words, which made him feel a little awkward.

"Lilith, my name is Cohen, Cohn Moutes," Rincewind said, taking the initiative to show his goodwill, but receiving only a slight nod in response. She felt that he already knew her name, so she didn't have to repeat it.

Lin Ke smiled embarrassedly. At this moment, the atmosphere in the carriage made it difficult for him to control it, but then his expression turned serious and said, "Do you know what you need to do next? If you regret it now, I still have time to provide some limited help. "

"Signing a contract, accepting some obligations, and enjoying some rights," Lilisse's understanding surprised Rinkey, but what was more unbelievable was her indifference.

"I have to remind you, that contract is much harsher than you think it is. I think you need to consider this clearly, you have the strength of a Rank 4 Bear Strength, and are different from the servants who signed contracts with the large clans since you were young. You have a choice."

"I've seen too many people who want to rely on their own strength to make a day, but end up getting drunk in the end. I've also seen too many people who are oppressed to the point that their families are ruined even if they possess great strength. They are all talented commoners, and the only thing they lack is a family they can rely on. This is not fair, but we can't find a fair one," she added after a moment of silence, "This is a world belonging to the aristocrats."

Lilisse's eyes were so indifferent that it caused others to feel pity for her. Even Xue'er, who sat beside her, turned her head to look at her for the first time.

Some of the things in the world are sometimes desperate and cruel.

No one would be willing to be kneaded by others as if they were a commodity, and no one would be willing to bury their dignity as a servant. However, in this cruel world, sometimes people had no choice but to lower their heads, because lowering their heads could sometimes lead to a better life.

Lin Ke was silent.

He knew she had a brother.

"I already know about what happened with Cohen," Rhine said apologetically as he poured a cup of tea for Second Elder Shan Di. "He was really reckless. Although these people didn't think much of it, it's time to teach him a lesson."

"On the contrary," Second Elder let out a long sigh, "Cohen was also a child that I watched grow up, but I never knew that he wasn't as reckless as I imagined." He drank the cup of tea in one gulp, exhaled comfortably, then revealed a smile, "If he had no idea about the situation of his family and the reactions of the other big families, I think I would support your fierce lesson, but when I knew that he clearly knew what he was doing and what he was making such a choice, I almost couldn't hold back my laughter." He stood up with a smile and left while swaying back and forth, as if he had drunk too much wine. "He is calm, gentle, polite, and his eyes are clear without a trace of emotion. He said to hide his strength, he knows the family's favor. I was completely wrong this time... "Haha, Seventh Brother's vision is still as good as ever …"

Sandy walked away shakily.

Rhine stood alone in the small yard for a long time.

He thought of his seven sons who had died on the battlefield.

He thought of the stubborn man who might still be on the frontline, soaking in blood and killing his enemies, yet was unwilling to lower his head.

Thinking of Cohen.

He picked up the teapot and drank a few mouthfuls before tossing his beloved teapot into a corner and smashed it into pieces. After wiping the corners of his mouth, he made a decision in his mind.

He had to teach him a lesson.

Wind City, in a heavily guarded family's secret room.

Several figures sat around a small round table.

There was a long silence.

If Link was here, he would recognize two of his acquaintances, Locke and Daley.

"Are you sure?" Seated at the head of the table was a sprightly old man. "You said that old man Shan Di never really got angry?"

"Yes, father," said Locke, showing great respect to the old man. "Even if I had pointed the finger at Cohen, he would have only expressed his displeasure."

"That shouldn't be …" The old man was lost in thought. He placed one of his hands on the table, and unconsciously tapped the table with his fingertips, making a "da da da da" sound, "Since Cohen is still alive and has received the news that Wei Ke is locked up, it means that Rhine and the other old bastards have found out and immediately stopped the matter, so there is no reason for them not to show that it doesn't fit Rhine's personality, or that they are planning something. It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense … Is there anything I didn't think of? "

Loke, Daley, and the others listened quietly to the old man's mutterings. No one dared to interrupt him.

Wind City, Fei Li's family's secret room.

"What about Cohen?" "If this old fox Sandy can still hide the family's intentions, then what about Cohen?" the old man suddenly asked.

"He didn't show anything unusual," Loke said hesitantly, "Maybe … "Perhaps he is not qualified to know some things …"

The old man shot a glance at Loke, causing him to tremble involuntarily. He then looked at the silent Daly, "You've come into contact with him twice after that incident failed, do you have any special feeling?"

Daley lowered his head to think, "If anything has to be said, it's because he's a little difficult to deal with." As he said some things, his train of thought started to become clearer, "Before, although I didn't interact much with him, but he gave off the feeling of a piece of white paper, able to see through everything with a single glance. He didn't talk much, but every sentence seemed simple and simple, but now he's very different.

"Hmph hmph, don't tell me you have another soul? Rhine has advanced to the dragon realm and has a lifespan of 300 years, and he has only just reached 100 years, so he has at least 150 years to live to protect the Moutes family. Originally, the rise of life was something that no one could change, but heaven has already taken seven of his sons' lives in a row.

But the third generation of Mutters has a guy named Cohen. Fourteen years old, a rank 3 spell caster with terrifying talent. Father, if that's the case, I'm afraid that Cohen will be able to take on the class by the time Elder Rhine passes away!" "Locke was anxious.

"Ridiculous! After living for so long, you haven't seen many geniuses? "How many Dragon Strength Realm experts are there in this world?" The old man was not in a hurry at all, "Cultivation is not a game, if I don't truly reach that step, who can say for sure?" Then, he seemed to recall something, "On the other hand, this fourteen year old kid is so shrewd …" The old man fell into deep thought once more. The secret room fell into silence once more. After a long while, the old man knocked on the table with his fingers as his eyes flickered with a dangerous light. "Killing the snake will only result in disaster …"

Link was whipped.

Ce'Nedra rushed back immediately, but she didn't manage to stop Rhine's order. Seeing the mess on her son's back, she almost burst into tears.

She had never had any conflict with Rhine when it came to family rules.

At this moment, there were only the two of them in Lin Ke's room. Outside of Lin Ke's room were Xue'er and Lilisse, while Ally had been brought by Selina to "train" her, so she probably wouldn't live a good life. This time, they finally met again, and they were chatting in a low voice, but Xue'er was clearly not in the mood to chat with her.

"Mom, there are a lot of people with strange abilities under grandpa's command."

"What ability is this?" The ability to beat people up?! " Selina was somewhat indignant.

I asked Sister Xue'er to help me take a look at the mirror. Tsk tsk, it really is a good craftsmanship, "Linke mysteriously lowered his voice." Don't look at my back; it looks very fierce, but it doesn't hurt at all.

"What nonsense, I don't know where to learn those weird words, they look like a mess. It would be weird if it doesn't hurt," Selina felt so pained that she wanted to touch it with her hand, but she was afraid of hurting Linke, so she just stretched out her hand in the air and touched it.

I know why my grandpa hit me this time, and it's not yet the full stage of the show," Rinkey said, his voice still low. "He's still a little angry at me for being so willful. Whipping a whip is good, but I still have to go to Mr. Fisher's class. He only stays in Windy City for three months, which is a rare opportunity.

Serena stared fixedly at Link. This son of hers was a stranger to her, and she felt a little sad.

"You've grown up, son," Selina gently caressed Lin Ke's hair, "However, this way, you'll have a good thing, and that's that you won't be able to go to the Misty Mountain to hunt. Although I agree to let you go out and play, Mount Lan is still not too far away from the Wind City, so what if something happens?"

I've already promised Daisy that I will only rest for at most two days. Grandfather's men have some control over their movements, and he also sent over some good healing medicine, so it won't be long before I'll be able to move around again, and I've also just broken through to level 3 bear power not long after I've broken through to level 2, so my foundation is still a little weak. On one hand, I need to grab some time before I head out to the imperial city for a hunt, and on the other, I need to slow down my cultivation and get used to my current strength.

"All right. More and more eloquent, my son. "
