The old man's probing question! Lin Yuan: Don't ask, the answer is simply that I'm exceptionally gifted!

Lin Family, main meeting hall.

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly lively.

In the main seat at the front sat Lin Zhan, the Old God of War, who had just displayed his Divine Might by shattering the earth for a hundred miles around with a single palm strike.

At this moment, he didn't possess even a hint of that world-destroying Divine Might.

He was like an ordinary old man from next door, looking at his chirping little granddaughter with a face full of affection.

"Grandpa, Grandpa! Is that Three-Headed Demonic Flood Dragon really that big? Can it swallow a mountain in one bite?"

Lin Ke'er, a girl with twin ponytails who was as cute as a doll, was holding Lin Zhan's arm and shaking it vigorously.

Her large, blinking eyes were filled with curiosity and admiration.

Despite her young age, she was the recognized, once-in-a-century Formation Genius of Yan Capital!

To Lin Zhan's left sat a middle-aged man with a resolute face and an air of natural authority.

It was indeed Lin Jianguo.

He just sat there quietly, his back straight as a ramrod, naturally emitting a terrifying aura of iron-blooded slaughter.

It was as if an armored flood of millions stood behind him!

The Great General Protecting the Nation of Dragon Xia Kingdom, head of the Three Excellencies, holding immense power! He was the supreme commander of the entire Dragon Xia Kingdom military, whose word was law!

Besides them,

His mother Su Qin and elder sister Lin Mengyao were also gathered together.

This family... Today, because of Lin Zhan's return, these big figures who were usually as elusive as a Divine Dragon had finally gathered together.

Just then,

A lazy figure yawned and sauntered in from outside the door.

"Brother! You're back!"

Lin Ke'er was the first to notice him and let out a cheer.

Like a fluttering little butterfly, she broke free from Lin Zhan's arms and threw herself into Lin Yuan's embrace.

Instantly,

Everyone in the hall focused their gaze on Lin Yuan.

Lin Jianguo looked at his lazy son and gave a bitter smile.

This kid always had a lazy attitude.

But on that resolute face, a look of pride could not be hidden. "At least you didn't disgrace our Lin family."

"Yuaner, you must be tired. Come and sit down."

Su Qin's face was full of heartache and tenderness.

"Not bad, my good brother."

The corner of Lin Mengyao's mouth also curled into a rare, heartfelt smile. "This time, you've completely shocked the whole of Yan Capital."

Facing his family's care and praise,

Lin Yuan only gave a few perfunctory grunts.

Then, with practiced ease, he found the most comfortable chair and slumped directly into it.

The entire movement was done in one smooth motion.

Seeing this, Lin Jianguo's eye twitched again.

Just then,

Lin Zhan, who had been silent in the main seat, slowly spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the entire hall.

"Yuaner."

Lin Zhan's eyes, seemingly cloudy but actually piercing through everything, fell on Lin Yuan.

"Those insignificant rats from the Divine Court are not worth worrying about."

"What I am curious about is..."

His tone suddenly became serious!

"How did you know that Ye Canglan, that rat who has been hiding for fifty years, would appear there?"

Swish!

In an instant!

The gazes of Lin Jianguo, Su Qin, and Lin Mengyao all locked onto Lin Yuan with expressions of curiosity.

That's right!

This was also the biggest doubt in their hearts!

The Divine Court organization acts mysteriously and is deeply hidden.

Ye Canglan himself had vanished for decades; even the intelligence networks of the military and The Elder Council couldn't find a single trace of him!

Lin Yuan was just a youth who stayed in school all year round and rarely went out.

How could he so accurately predict the enemy's actions, and even know the exact location where they would appear?!

This could no longer be explained by the word "Genius"!

There must be a massive secret behind this!

Facing the Soul-searching interrogation of his whole family, Lin Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.

"I was too careless."

He certainly couldn't say he was a transmigrator.

That he knew the future plot of this novel clearly.

That would be too far-fetched.

He'd probably be treated as a demon undergoing Possession in the next second and be suppressed by his cheap old man and mom.

Too much trouble.

He had to think of a reason.

A reason that could both pass muster and fit his persona, once and for all.

And so,

Under the solemn gaze of the whole family,

Lin Yuan lazily shifted to a more comfortable position, slumped in his chair, and said casually:

"Oh, that."

"I guessed it."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Dead silence!

The entire hall fell into an eerie silence!

Guessed it?!

Are you fucking telling us you guessed it?!

The veins on Lin Jianguo's forehead instantly bulged!

He felt his blood pressure soaring crazily at an unprecedented speed!

Su Qin also helplessly held her forehead.

A crack appeared even on Lin Mengyao's eternally frozen icy face.

Only Lin Ke'er's bright eyes were filled with little stars of admiration!

"Wow! Big brother is so amazing! To guess so accurately!"

Lin Jianguo: "..."

He felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

"Cough!"

Lin Zhan coughed heavily, breaking the strange atmosphere.

He stared intently at his precious grandson and said in a deep voice, "Tell the truth!"

"Oh."

Lin Yuan curled his lips, appearing somewhat impatient.

He thought for a moment, then said in an even more perfunctory tone:

"Fine, I'll tell the truth."

"I didn't guess it."

"I was Born with Knowledge."

"I can Foresee the Future."

"After all, I'm a Genius. Isn't it normal to have a little bit of such a trivial ability?"

After saying that,

He even spread his hands, an innocent expression on his face.

Boom!

This time,

The entire hall felt as if it had been struck by a bolt of Nine Heavens divine lightning!

Lin Jianguo suddenly stood up from his chair.

He pointed at Lin Yuan, his lips trembling.

It took a long time before he squeezed a sentence out from between his teeth:

"You... you rebellious son!!!"

He felt like the top of his head was about to be blown off by his precious son's antics!

Born with Knowledge?

Foresee the Future?

Why don't you just say you're a god descended to earth?!

What kind of attitude is this!

Is this the way to speak to your father, the Great General Protecting the Nation of Dragon Xia Kingdom?!

He was about to explode,

To properly use fatherly love to educate this brat who didn't know the heights of heaven and the depths of the earth.

However,

An aged hand gently pressed down on his shoulder.

"Jianguo, sit down."

Lin Zhan's voice was still calm.

But that unquestionable majesty caused Lin Jianguo's full-blown anger to instantly extinguish.

He could only glare fiercely at Lin Yuan.

Then, reluctantly, he sat back down in his chair.

"Father! You're just going to spoil him like this?!"

"Spoil him? My grandson, Lin Zhan's grandson, is a Heaven-sent talent. Isn't it normal for him to have a few secrets or some special abilities?"

"If he doesn't want to say, then we won't ask."

"We only need to know that he is our family, and that is enough."

Lin Zhan's gaze slowly swept over everyone present.

"The status our Lin family has today wasn't achieved through schemes or prying into every detail."

"It was achieved through unity and trust!"

"As long as our family is united as one, no one or any force in this world can shake us!"

The words were powerful and resonant!

Su Qin was the first to stand up, a gentle yet firm smile on her face.

"Father is right. Yuaner is my son. No matter what he is like, I believe in him and support him."

"That's right!" Lin Ke'er also waved her small fist, looking proud. "Big brother is the most amazing!"

Although Lin Mengyao didn't speak, her gaze toward Lin Yuan became a bit softer and more relieved.

Lin Jianguo watched this scene.

He opened his mouth, but in the end, it only turned into a helpless sigh.

Fine.

The whole family has been completely hoodwinked by this kid!

He was the only bad guy left.

What else could he say?

He could only accept it!

Lin Yuan looked at this harmonious scene of filial piety and parental love and nodded with satisfaction.

Hm, not bad.

This reason is perfect.

"Alright, since there's nothing else, I'll head back to my room first."

Lin Yuan yawned.

He stood up, preparing to slip away.

"Stop right there!"

Lin Jianguo barked another command.

"You brat, stay home and behave! You're not allowed to go anywhere! In two days, come with me to the military camp, and I'll personally train you!"

He didn't believe that he couldn't discipline this brat!

However,

Lin Yuan just curled his lips and waved his hand without looking back as his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the hallway.

From his appearance, he clearly treated the words as wind passing through his ears.
