Chapter 12

When everyone had almost left, Lin Xiu was taken to the family meeting hall alone.

As soon as he entered the main entrance, the clansmen who brought him backed away. Looking at Lin Wentian whose back was facing him in the middle of the conference hall, Lin Xiu was shocked to find that the current head of the Lin family was the most powerful Fuling Realm Qiang Or, the back at this moment is so desolate.

Turning around, Lin Wentian looked at Lin Xiu with love and a hint of incomprehensibility in his eyes.

He beckoned to Lin Xiu, and motioned for him to come forward. Lin Wentian looked at this grandson who was already taller than him, and sighed softly: "Lin Xiu, come here and let Grandpa take a good look."

Although he was somewhat against this grandfather who had never given any help to his family, Lin Xiu obediently walked forward for the century-old Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng.

Noticing Lin Xiu's expression, Lin Wentian knew that his grandson still had a lot of grudges against him.

Lin Wentian felt lonely for no reason. His son was seriously injured and his grandson was also dissatisfied with him. Is it really so difficult to want a happy family?

"These years, your family has suffered." Lin Wentian looked at his grandson gently.

However, Lin Xiu didn't react when he heard the words. Since you are my grandfather, why have you ignored our father and son all these years!

Seemingly seeing what Lin Xiu was thinking, Lin Wentian didn't explain anything, but just said something inexplicable: "Lin Xiu, no matter what, you must remember in the future, only the family will never harm you."

Before Lin Xiu could react, Lin Wentian continued, "Do you want this century-old purple jade ginseng?"

Nodding solemnly, Lin Xiu's attitude was fully revealed.

Seeing Lin Xiu like this, Lin Wentian felt sad again.

"Is it for your father?"

Adjusting his mood as quickly as possible, Lin Wentian said sternly: "The century-old purple jade ginseng is the treasure of the clan, not only is it very helpful for the cultivation of the blood refinement realm, but even some of the spirit fusion realm People need it too."

Hearing Lin Wentian's words, Lin Xiu frowned. He had already heard that even if he won the first place in the family competition, he still had a hard time wanting the century-old Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng, but Lin Wentian didn't directly reject him. , indicating that there is still room for improvement.

So Lin Xiuqiang braced his wounded body to face Lin Wentian in front of him, and bowed to the end: "Please ask the patriarch to help you."

Sighing, Lin Wentian saw Lin Xiu like this, and thought he owed them a lot to their father and son, so he finally stopped refusing.

"As long as you can advance smoothly in the selection of the City Lord's Mansion in a month's time, and join Guiyuanzong, this century-old purple jade ginseng will be yours."

Although Lin Wentian is the patriarch of the Lin family, the hundred-year-old purple jade ginseng belongs to the family heritage after all, and he cannot easily determine it by himself, but as long as Lin Xiu can join the Guiyuan sect, by that time, the rest of the clan will surely be too. Nothing to say.

After receiving Lin Wentian's reply, Lin Xiu's eyes were filled with blazing heat. He must obtain the hundred-year-old Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng. For this reason, he must successfully join the Guiyuan Sect.

Helping Lin Xiu up, Lin Wentian gave Lin Xiu two more bottles of medicinal pills, three bottles of containing spirit pills, and one bottle of quenching bone powder.

The Lingling Pill can help Lin Xiu quickly accumulate energy. Whether it is for the selection of the City Lord's Mansion in one month, or the bet of breaking into the Bone Tempering Realm in two months, Lin Xiu is in urgent need of this kind of pill now, and with his Wealth, this kind of elixir that costs hundreds of gold coins a piece in the market, is not something he can squander.

As for the other bottle of bone quenching powder, although it is not as valuable as the bone quenching pill, it is still quite precious. Its effect is to assist the warrior to break through the bone quenching level when the warrior reaches the peak of the blood refinement level. It must be compared with the Hanling Pill, and the bone quenching powder is undoubtedly more valuable.

This time Lin Xiu didn't refuse, and immediately accepted the two bottles of pills.

This also made Lin Wentian more appreciative. Cultivation is not to be swayed by some emotions. Only one's own strength is the root.

Rubbing his own temples, the exhausted Lin Wentian motioned for Lin Xiu to step back, while he sat on the chair by himself, motionless.

After coming out of the conference hall, Lin Xiu didn't stop for a moment, and went directly to his home. He wanted to tell Lin Zhong the news that he won the first place in the family competition.

"squeak."

As soon as he opened the door, Lin Xiu was surprised to find that his father was sitting at the table at the moment, and the table was filled with all kinds of food that Lin Xiu liked.

"Why are you still standing there, hurry up and have a drink with me." Seeing Lin Xiu standing at the door, Lin Zhong couldn't help saying.

But after seeing Lin Xiu's injury, Lin Zhong's eyes flashed a trace of worry.

"It's for the Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng, right?" Lin Zhong said with a hint of self-blame in his tone.

"Father, I must get it!" Lin Xiu said firmly.

"It's hard for you child."

Sitting down at the table, Lin Xiu found a glass full of wine next to his bowl and chopsticks.

"Xiu'er, from today onwards, you will grow up and become a man." Lin Zhong watched his son change the subject, he didn't want Lin Xiu to see his weakness.

Lin Xiu also nodded hastily, indicating that he is no longer a child.

Who knew that Lin Zhong's conversation suddenly changed, and his tone became malicious: "Since this is the case, there is no man who can't drink. Today, my father will teach you a good lesson."

Ignoring the mournful Lin Xiu, Lin Zhong filled up the wine glasses in front of the two of them, then raised his neck and drank it down again.

"Have you met your grandfather?" Lin Zhong, whose face was already a little smoky, looked at his son who was already a little wobbly, and asked.

"Yes, I see." Lin Xiu was vague.

"Is he alright?" This time he, who was always carefree, looked a little flustered, and asked cautiously.

"It's not very good. It looks like grandpa is very tired." Lin Xiu's eyelids started to twitch, and he answered Lin Zhong before lying down on the table.

After confirming that Lin Xiu had fallen asleep, Lin Zhong picked up the wine bottle and poured it directly into his mouth. Gradually, the eyes of this strict father in Lin Xiu's eyes began to mist, and he murmured He said: "Father, the child is not filial, the child is not filial..."

How high-spirited he was back then, after feeling that it was difficult to make greater progress in Huaining City, he resolutely left the house and started his own adventures. Who knew that in the end he could only watch his son die He was tampered with in terms of qualifications, but there was nothing he could do. When he returned to Lin's house, he had only a wounded body. He saw with his own eyes that Lin Wentian had aged a lot in an instant when he saw him.
