121: Leaving the Lu family
At the dinner table, Lu Jin was dead drunk.
“That… Feng Baobao… this old man… is not in good shape today. Wait for me… wait for me to rest up.”
Feng Baobao was drinking wine beside him as if it were plain water.
“Okay… okay… okay.”
Her expression seemed to say, 'Old geezer, you don't seem to be doing so well either.'
Just then, Lu Linglong walked in. Seeing Lu Jin's state, she quickly helped him to the sofa.
Lin Yuan also hurried forward to help.
After the two of them settled Lu Jin, Lin Yuan looked at Lu Linglong, who seemed a bit flustered.
“Linglong… I’m leaving soon…”
Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong immediately lowered her head.
“Immortal Master Lin Yuan… I’m sorry… I was really scared today…”
Lin Yuan waved his hand.
“It’s alright… it’s alright. When you go out to cultivate, you get used to such things.”
“By the way, Linglong, Quanzhen is an internal elixir technique. If your cultivation is not yet profound, your ability to protect yourself is still limited.”
“When you are out, I will give you some Magical Artifacts. These things might come in handy for you.”
Then Lin Yuan took out several Magical Artifacts and handed them over.
“This glazed jade pendant is a protective Magical Artifact. It can protect you at all times. This item can block one fatal attack for you in a short period of time.”
“And this Wind Shadow Ring, if you infuse Qi into it, you can temporarily become invisible for a few seconds, which should be enough for you to escape.”
“This is a Yin and Yang jade pendant. You hold the Yin pendant, and I hold the Yang pendant. If you are threatened and your life is in danger, I will sense it.”
After giving all these Magical Artifacts to Lu Linglong, Lin Yuan turned to leave.
Lu Linglong looked at these Magical Artifacts, and her heart couldn't help but warm.
“Thank… thank you… Immortal Master Lin Yuan…”
“Brother Lin Yuan… can I call you that from now on?”
Lin Yuan ruffled Lu Linglong’s head.
“Whatever, if you like it.”
Ma Xianhong, standing nearby, watched the constantly reeking sour smell from the two of them, momentarily unsure where to look.
“Don’t be reluctant to use these Magical Artifacts. A'Zu is an Artifact Refiner. If these Magical Artifacts are damaged, just go find him.”
Lu Linglong looked at Lin Yuan in shock. An Artifact Refiner was a very rare existence, and the quality of these Magical Artifacts was top-notch.
A'Zu immediately smiled upon hearing this.
“Ah… Miss Linglong, this time was a bit rushed. Next time I’ll prepare some good things for you.”
For him, as long as the Materials were sufficient, making more Magical Artifacts was just a piece of cake, wasn't it?
...When everyone reached the door, Lin Yuan turned his head and said:
“Linglong, you go back. Great-Grandfather Lu Jin drank so much; he needs someone to take care of him. A'Zu has already found a designated driver.”
Lu Linglong nodded.
“Okay… I understand.”
“Let’s go, A'Zu.”
Lu Lin stood behind the two, a playful smile on his lips.
“Oh, your little lover left, and you're still lingering there?”
Lu Linglong's face immediately flushed red, and she quickly turned and ran back.
“Hmph! I'm too lazy to talk to you! I'm going to see Great-Grandfather.”
Lu Lin smiled and shook his head, following him into the manor... Meanwhile, Zhang Chulan sat in a taxi, looking out the window, showing no signs of being drunk.
The core of the Jiashen Rebellion still revolved around Rootless Life, but now, to know about his Great-Grandfather's matters and Sister Bao'er's background, he could only go to Mei Jinfeng to ask for clarification... At the Lu family.
Lu Jin sat on the sofa, constantly rubbing his head, with Lu Linglong and Lu Lin standing beside him.
“Have they all been sent off?”
Lu Lin nodded in response:
“Yes! Great-Grandfather is already in the car.”
Lu Jin picked up the hangover tea nearby and took a big gulp.
“I really didn’t expect that Feng Baobao and Lin Yuan would have such good alcohol tolerance; they actually got me this drunk.”
Lu Linglong rubbed Lu Jin’s temples with some concern.
“Great-Grandfather… please don’t drink so much next time. The doctor said you are too old and need to be careful to protect your body.”
Lu Jin’s cheeks were slightly red.
“Sigh… I didn’t want to be like this either. It’s mainly because that little rascal Zhang Chulan kept asking me about that person’s whereabouts.”
“But I really don’t want to mention Rootless Life anymore! He…”
Lu Lin sighed.
“Sigh… Great-Grandfather, it’s not for us to say, but so much time has passed since this incident, you should have let it go a long time ago.”
“There has been no news of Rootless Life for so many years; maybe he is no longer alive, maybe he is already dead.”
Lu Jin put down the hangover tea.
“Hmph! He’s dead? Who can prove it!?”
“Unless I see him die with my own eyes, or I kill him! Or I can reduce him to ashes! Otherwise, I cannot let this matter go!”
“And I always feel that this kid isn’t dead, but I have no proof.”
“Today, Zhang Chulan asked me about things that actually have nothing to do with his Great-Grandfather. I don’t know what he ultimately wants to investigate.”
Lu Lin immediately stepped forward and said:
“Great-Grandfather, as long as you agree, you can leave this matter to us to handle. We will search for Rootless Life’s whereabouts!”
Lu Jin smiled.
“You also want to get involved in this matter?”
Lu Lin nodded.
“That’s right! I am the one who inherited the Reverse Life Threefold. I should also bear the grievances of the San Yi Sect.”
Lu Jin directly waved his hand.
“Go, go, go, get out of here. Little brats, our elders’ business, you should stay out of it.”
Lu Linglong and Lu Lin looked at each other. Lu Jin had this temper, but it didn't matter. They could secretly investigate behind his back.
A few days later.
In an unknown deep mountain, Lin Yuan and Ma Xianhong were riding in an off-road vehicle, driving on a small road.
This small road was patrolled by All-Kinds-Of's employees all along the way.
Soon, the two stopped in front of a small mountain.
Old Meng and a group of others were all waiting outside for him.
“Oh… Immortal Master Lin Yuan, you’re finally here!”
Lin Yuan opened the car door and stepped out.
All the high-ranking officials of All-Kinds-Of, along with their employees, were waiting nearby.
Lin Yuan looked at the iron gate of the tunnel ahead and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
“Oh, you’re meeting me in this place. Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell outsiders later?”
Zhao Fangxu chuckled:
“Hahaha! Immortal Master Lin Yuan, you are truly humorous. You are a highly skilled disciple of the Old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, so we are absolutely confident in you!”
“After all, if you hadn't helped with Biyou Village back then, Zhang Chulan and the others wouldn't have been able to deal with those people so easily.”
“Chen Duo is inside. Immortal Master Lin Yuan, please follow me.”
Lin Yuan nodded and followed Zhao Fangxu, Old Meng, and their group towards the front...
