Chapter 30 - Hogg's Mind

Lin Feng stayed in Wushan township for over ten days, and even when it was the next semester in Ernst Institute, he still did not go back in a hurry. Hogg did not urge Lin Feng to go to the Academy either.

On the eastern side of Wushan township, beside the gurgling stream, Lin Feng sat cross-legged and quietly meditated to refine the magic power.

All of the bones, muscles and meridians in his entire body naturally absorbed the elements in order to improve his physique. After a small portion of these elements in his body were absorbed, a majority of them were refined and eventually flowed into the Dantian in his chest.

Every part of his body, including his meridians, was eventually gathered here.

Lin Feng sat like this for half a day. When Lin Feng opened his eyes, the sun had already set.

"It's time to return to the academy. Since I'm not going to stop my father's decision, I'll let him know what his wish is." Lin Feng stood up and let out a long breath, then walked towards the Ba Luke Family residence.

Upon stepping into the Ba Luke family mansion, Lin Feng saw his father reading a book, "Father, the sky is getting dark, so it's better to wait until tomorrow to read the book."

"Oh, Lin Feng is back." "What you said makes sense. I'll read it tomorrow."

"Lin Feng, you must be thirsty after cultivating for such a long time." Hogg picked up a canteen of water from the nearby tea table and poured a cup of water into it. "Come, moisten your throat. The temperature of this water is just perfect. It won't be hot or cold."

"Thank you, Father." Lin Feng's heart warmed, but then, he realized that he would be separated from his father, Tian Tian, from tomorrow onwards, his heart ached.

Hogg had been doing this to Lin Feng for the past few days, and he was doing it very well. In the past, Hogg had always been quite solemn. It was rare to see such a warm side to her.

Drinking some tea, Lin Feng said, "Father, I've already been at home for a while, I plan to go to the Academy tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Hogg was slightly startled, but then he nodded and said, "Fine then. At the end of this year, you have to come back early. "

"Right." Lin Feng replied.

Hogg lightly instructed, "Lin Feng, your father doesn't have much ability. The family will depend on you in the future. At this point, I am already very satisfied, but deep in my heart, I still forget the shame of our family. I hope you don't forget that our family's ancestral heirloom is still outside. "

Lin Feng could feel his father's expectations for him, he took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

"Right now, I have no other desires. I only hope to see the warblade 'Slaughterer' before I die." Hogg's voice was very low.

Lin Feng felt the atmosphere wasn't right and immediately said: "Father, don't be so negative. You are only forty years old right now, and there will be plenty of days in the future. I am confident that in less than ten years, I will definitely bring back the warblade 'Slaughterer' and place it in the clan's ancestral hall again. "

"Ten years. Good, good." Hogg nodded lightly.

The next day, Lin Feng left Wushan township at noon. That night, two people sat in the living room of Ba Luke's family: Hogg and Xi Erman. The main door to the main hall was shut, and on the dining table within the room was that generation of magicite cores.

Xi Erman was stunned by the bag of Magic Crystal, but Hogg opened his mouth and said, "Xi Erman, I will sell these Magic Crystal Cores to you in the near future, and I hope you can keep these gold coins for me."

Xi Erman immediately sobered up and said in a hurry, "Master Hogg, no, how can you give me such a huge fortune? Aren't you in charge yourself? "

"Xi Erman, don't call me Lord Hogg. Just call me Big Brother Hogg." Hogg's smile was very friendly.

Suddenly, Hogg stood up, facing the east. Haha, Xi Erman, I'm afraid you know our Ba Luke Clan, and my Hogg's matter the best. "

Xi Erman was startled. He didn't know why Hogg had mentioned this.

"Please hide that matter deep within your heart for 11 years. For the past 11 years, I felt like my heart was being bitten by ants. I've been enduring for days, day after day, year after year, in the blink of an eye, it has been 11 years."

Hogg's entire body began to tremble.

Xi Erman changed into a blue color and stood up abruptly, exclaiming in shock, "Master Hogg, you are …?"

"Yes, I must investigate what happened that year. I must avenge Lina." Xi Erman's face turned sinister, her face filled with killing intent.

"Lord Hogg." Xi Erman immediately replied, "Didn't we investigate it in the beginning? The enemy forces were extremely powerful, and even that portion was already terrifying. If you go investigate, you might lose your life. "

Hogg let out a growl. "Die?" I'm afraid of death? Xi Erman, you don't even know how much pain I have endured in these eleven years. I've had enough. Right now, the one hundred thousand gold coins that Lin Feng has given me is completely enough for Wo Dun's expenses. With this gold, I no longer have any burdens. "

"All these years, why have I been enduring it? Now that Lin Feng had grown up, he was also in O'Brien Empire. I have nothing else to worry about. "

Hogg grabbed Xi Erman's shoulders with both hands and stared into his eyes. "Xi Erman, although you called me Master Hogg, we have been brothers for so many years. At this point, I hope you can help me. "

"Hogg, you …" Xi Erman was very anxious.

Xi Erman was very clear that once Hogg really went to investigate what had happened that year, he would very likely lose his life.

"My decision is already set. Xi Erman, you must know that in these days, I would rather die than live." Seeing Hogg act like this, Xi Erman's heart was filled with helplessness. He could understand what Hogg was thinking.

Why had Hogg been so stern and cold all these years?

Others might not know, but Xi Erman knew very clearly that before Lin Feng and Wo Dun's mother, Lina, died, Hogg was a very cheerful person. And then, since Lina died, Hogg's temperament had changed.

Although Hogg had told others that Lina had died in childbirth, Xi Erman, Housekeeper Hiri, and the others still knew the truth.

"Xi Erman, you don't need to persuade me again. I am only asking you, are you going to help me or not?" Hogg stared at Xi Erman.

Xi Erman stared at Hogg for a while before letting out a long sigh. "Alright, I'll help you." Hogg couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile on his face. It was a smile of relief.

On the way back to the Academy, Lin Feng started to plan the path he would take next.

"I am already at the peak of the eighth level of Magician, so breaking through to the ninth level is only a matter of time. It's just that my cultivation is only at the seventh level, and I haven't even condensed my battle qi yet, so it seems that I have to go to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts again to see if I can find the Fog Valley and obtain the Blueheart Grass. But there is no rush, before that, we should first retrieve the clan passed down treasure blade 'Slaughterer'. "

"As for taking revenge for mother, at the very least, until I become a Saint realm expert. Holy See must be exterminated."

After returning to the academy, the four brothers naturally went outside to celebrate. After that, Lin Feng's life returned to normal.
