It's been a long time since the Shen family has been so lively.
Ever since the patriarch's son-in-law was taken away by Tiandaozong, the reputation of the Shen family has risen in the cultivation world.The size of the family property has more than doubled, and it has also established relationships with the three major cultivation families.
Everyone wants to make friends, and even introduces the lady of the family, hoping to form a good relationship with the Shen family.
"The children of the Shen family are all the best among the crouching dragons and phoenixes. I really can't envy them."
"And they are all quite filial. Even if they enter the immortal sect, they don't forget their younger siblings, and they often give them some magic tools."
"Especially Young Master Hanling is highly valued by Alliance Leader Lin Ran, maybe he is training the next successor. Hahaha."
Everyone laughed, and the lobby of the Shen family was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Patriarch Shen and his mother sat in the main seat, being flattered by the people around them, they couldn't agree more.
"Speaking of which, Master Han Ling hasn't returned for many years, why did he come back suddenly?"
Before Patriarch Shen could respond, he heard a naive child's voice say: "What else can I do, naturally I miss my uncle and aunt."
Everyone followed the prestige and saw that it was a girl of eighteen or nine years old.With her hair tied up in a bun, she has a round face and looks quite pleasing.
"Uncle and aunt treat Cousin Han Ling so well, they keep talking about it all day long. Cousin must feel it."
After hearing the childish words, everyone laughed again.
"This little niece can really talk. She's the only one in the family, so don't talk about it all day long."
Girl: "If that's the case, why don't uncle and aunt give birth to another one? You can also be a companion for Xiaoya."
"Actually, there were..."
Before the man finished speaking, he was elbowed by his companion.He quickly shut up.
The girl asked: "What else? What was there before?"
The cheerful atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
Someone coughed lightly and changed the subject: "It means that the tea brought back by Master Han Ling is really good, and it is indeed from the Tiandao Sect."
"Drink tea, everyone drink tea. Hahaha."
The girl looked at the adults and started laughing inexplicably again, and tilted her head in bewilderment.
On the other side, the atmosphere on Shen Xingcong's side was not much better.
He looked at Shen Hanling who suddenly appeared, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head.
However, the person involved didn't realize it, and quickly approached: "Brother, I finally found you."
It was as if an invisible tail was wagging behind him.
Shen Xingcong took a deep breath: "Okay, what a coincidence."
"Unfortunately, Brother Han Ling came here specially to look for you." Liu Ruyan said from the side, "I heard that you have returned home, but we waited for a long time but we didn't come. Where are you going?"
be lost.
The corners of Shen Xingcong's mouth curled up stiffly: "I, I want to go home. But when I saw the gate, I remembered the past, and some dared not go in. So..."
Liu Ruyan was surprised: "You have been wandering outside for so long?"
Is it really too exaggerated?
Shen Xingcong nodded painfully: "I know that I behaved badly in the past, so I dare not ask for forgiveness. But I really miss my parents."
He sighed, "Even if I can only look at it from a distance, I am satisfied."
Hearing the response, Shen Hanling and Liu Ruyan were speechless.
Shen Xingcong thought that the two of them didn't believe it, and was about to say something to make amends, but was dragged away by Shen Hanling.Go straight ahead.
Shen Xingcong staggered and followed: "Where are you going?"
Shen Hanling: "Go home."
Shen Xingcong: Huh?
At the gate of the Shen family, several servants waited on both sides.From a distance, he saw Master Hanling and Miss Ruyan coming back.
They were about to bow and salute when they saw Master Han Ling pulling a man.Mouth slightly opened, some did not respond.
until people pass by.
When he was about to step over the threshold, Shen Xingcong grabbed the door desperately.
"Let's go here! I am satisfied to touch the gate of Shen's house, and I don't want to go in."
It means he doesn't want to go in either.
Showing off is enough.Looking at the attitudes of Shen Ke'er and Shen He towards him, it is enough to imagine what the Shen family will do when they see him.
It's so lively inside now, he doesn't want to go in and pour cold water on it.
Shen Hanling looked at him without speaking.
Seeing that he didn't stop him, Shen Xingcong turned around and was about to go back.But was blocked by a beautiful shadow.
"How can this work."
Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes were full of sympathy.
She completely believed what Shen Xingcong said just now.Clearly wanting to go home, but hesitated for so long.
Being kicked out of the house by the biological parents must be an indelible psychological shadow.But since I have reflected on it and corrected it, what is there to make life difficult?
She said sincerely: "I believe that there must be a misunderstanding in the previous matter. You don't have to be afraid of brother Han Ling who is with you."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and asked, "Is that right? Brother Han Ling."
Shen Hanling nodded: "Brother, don't worry about it. With me around, no one would dare to stop you."
Shen Xingcong: "..."
Shen Xingcong: "Actually, I didn't think so..."
Liu Ruyan shook her head: "You don't have to be brave. Today and this time, Brother Han Ling and I will definitely fulfill your wish."
"Let's go, brother."
Shen Hanling took Shen Xingcong's hand again.
Feeling a strong attack, Shen Xingcong was forced to enter the door.He stretched out Erkang's hand.
No!
He doesn't want to go in!
The three walked away.The gatekeeper Ding was also dumbfounded, looking at each other in blank dismay.
"The one just now... seems to be the young master?"
"How is this possible? The Eldest Young Master intended to poison the Young Young Master before and was expelled from the house. How could they show up hand in hand now?"
Although they felt that the appearance was familiar, they couldn't believe it.
After a while, several people saw Shen Ke'er approaching from a distance, and hurriedly bowed: "Miss Ke'er, you are back."
Shen Ke'er stopped: "Brother Han Ling just went in?"
"Yes, yes." One person replied hesitantly, "With Miss Ruyan, and a..."
He didn't know how to introduce it.
However, Shen Ke'er didn't intend to continue listening to him, and walked in.A small face is pale.
After Shen Hanling appeared just now, she wanted to start a conversation.As a result, the other party pretended not to see her the whole time, and just talked to Shen Xingcong.He even called his brother.
It was the first time she saw Shen Hanling being so close to another person, but it happened to be that Shen Xingcong.
She is really incomprehensible.
Since that day's Dao Discussion Meeting, she has never been able to raise her head in Tiandaozong.The master did not call her, and her fellow disciples no longer respected her.
Even the submissive Mu Xiaorou—when she occasionally meets and talks about Shen Xingcong, the other party will suddenly become serious and warn her not to say "Brother Xingcong".
Shen Ke'er didn't know what method Shen Xingcong used to coax the people around him into a circle.When I came back to the Shen family this time, I thought I could finally feel proud, but I didn't expect Brother Han Ling to change.
Shen Ke'er bit her lower lip tightly.I just feel that the world is so big that there is no place for her.
In the Shen family hall, after the brief silence, everyone started to laugh again.And made up my mind not to mention that taboo name again.
After all, for the Shen family, "Shen Xingcong" can be said to be a stain on the whole family.
Well, I blame myself too.Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.
The guest who mentioned Shen Xingcong first gave himself a slap in the heart, and was about to praise how delicious the tea was.As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw someone coming from outside, and couldn't help being stunned.
"Um, Master Xingcong?"
Although the volume was not loud, everyone was cautious at the moment, and they all heard these words clearly.The atmosphere froze again.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The companion slapped him, "I'm afraid I'm drunk because of the spirit tea?"
"No." The guest pointed his finger outside to defend, "I really saw it, Master Xingcong passed by!"
Companion: "You still say! It's empty outside, where is anyone..."
As he spoke, he turned his head, just in time to see someone coming in from outside, it was Shen Hanling.
He touched his nose in embarrassment: "Han, Master Han Ling, you are back."
The man cast his eyes, and it was clearly just a faint glance.But he felt cold all over, and he didn't dare to speak immediately.
"Han Ling."
Patriarch Shen eagerly stood up.
Just now, because he heard someone mention the shady son-in-law, he was a little shameless.But seeing his youngest son now, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared immediately.
"He said he was going to go to the town. How about it, has it changed a lot since you were a child?"
Shen Hanling actually doesn't remember what it was like here when he was a child.He didn't answer: "Father, I have someone I want you to meet."
Patriarch Shen: Huh?
When introducing Miss Ruyan, it was not so solemn, who are you calling?Could it be...
Patriarch Shen's heart skipped a beat.
This time is the right girl?
Patriarch Shen: "Where is she?"
Shen Hanling tilted his head.
Master Shen followed his line of sight, and vaguely saw a figure from behind the door, and he knew it.
This must be shy.
He took the initiative to go over.
"The visitor is a guest, so don't be embarrassed..."
Master Shen thought it was a girl.But the closer he got, the more he felt something was wrong, until the figure of the man came into view completely.
Patriarch Shen paused.
Shen Xingcong pressed his head against the door, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed someone coming out.
What should come will come back.Let the storm be more violent.
He let out a breath and raised his eyes.
It happened to meet Patriarch Shen's already darkened face.
"Ha, hello?"
He greeted with a smile.
Patriarch Shen didn't understand what "Hello" meant, but felt that a spell had been chanted inexplicably.
He didn't know why this rebellious son dared to appear in Shen's house after committing a heinous crime.Just as he was about to reprimand him with a sullen face, he saw Shen Hanling stepping in between him and Nizi.
Shen Hanling: "Today's guest banquet, can my brother sit with me?"
Brother, brother?
Patriarch Shen was stunned.
In the past, he enthusiastically taught, asking the youngest son to call the eldest son's elder brother, and the eldest son to call the younger son's brother-in-law, but he never succeeded—until the tragedy of fratricide happened.
What happened during this period that made the relationship between the two brothers reconcile?
No, to be precise, it's a new look.
Shen's mother was also puzzled.The guests looked at each other.
Just now, the person who argued with him whispered, "I'll tell you, you still don't believe me."
Another person wronged: "Who would have thought of this?"
I'm afraid Patriarch Shen himself didn't expect his son-in-law to come back.
After all, "Shen Xingcong" was erased from the family tree when he was introduced to the outside world, leaving only "Shen Hanling".Therefore, those who did not know the Shen family thought that Shen Hanling was the legitimate son.
After Shen Hanling finished that sentence, he stopped talking.Shen Xingcong also watched his heart with his eyes and nose.
He hoped that Patriarch Shen could justly refuse, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to stay here.
Patriarch Shen thought for a long time, but agreed.
"...Okay. Since it's Han Ling's request, let's go together."
The dinner was extremely sumptuous, with several large tables set up.
Shen Xingcong sat in the center of the main table, surrounded by everyone.He stared blankly at the food in front of him, and finally realized a fact belatedly.
For monks, the realm of cultivation is basically equivalent to the division of ranks.Even if Patriarch Shen is Shen Hanling's biological father, he can't easily speak out to teach him.
Because the major of the Shen family is only the ordinary Jindan stage.The Shen family's ability to grow bigger and stronger in these years is all due to Shen Hanling's cover.
Therefore, the relationship between Shen Hanling and the head of the Shen family is different from that of ordinary father and son.
At least no matter what Shen Hanling himself thought.For Patriarch Shen, he needs to support his own son.
On the surface, this dinner was to welcome Shen Hanling, but in fact it was to show off to outsiders and consolidate the status of the Shen family.
Patriarch Shen had already made up his mind.Shen Hanling didn't like gathering people, so he probably showed his face at most.
And that's enough.Then just hand it over to him to greet and entertain.
But he never expected that the man actually sat down.Looking at this posture, it seems that they want to have a meal together.
"..."
In other words, let Shen Xingcong have a meal.
From the moment he was seated, Shen Hanling had been picking up food for him.The bowls in front of Shen Xingcong had almost piled up into a hill.
It wasn't until he could no longer get it in that Shen Hanling asked in doubt: "Brother, why don't you eat?"
Shen Xingcong smiled awkwardly but politely.
Then he has to be able to eat it.
Now everyone is just looking at this side, treating him like a magical animal.How does he eat!ah?
To be honest, the cooks of the Shen family are good at cooking.Just sitting here, Shen Xingcong could smell the fragrance wafting into his nose.
But he really doesn't have much appetite now.
Shen Hanling thought for a while, thinking he had found the answer.To the side, Patriarch Shen said: "Father, elder brother doesn't seem to like sweets..."
"I like it, I like it."
Shen Xingcong didn't want the air to remain silent.
He was really afraid that Shen Hanling would change another table of food for him, so he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
Shen Hanling was relieved, and continued to add vegetables to his bowl.
Shen Xingcong swallowed while crying.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"The owner is back!"
The Lin family ran up and down to tell each other.
It is different from a small family like the Shen family, which can only be cramped at the junction of Lingyuan Continent and Mortal Realm.
As one of the three major cultivation families and the head of the family, the Lin family naturally occupies a good territory in Lingyuan Continent.Surrounded by spiritual energy all the year round, the servants are at least above the golden core stage.
Lin Ran not only has to manage the Heavenly Dao Sect, but also is the leader of the Immortal Alliance.Daily busy, rarely home.Therefore, all the trivial matters in the family are handed over to the wife.And when he came back this time, he also had something to ask.
After hearing the servant's announcement, Mrs. Lin came out generously.With a beautiful appearance, a pair of peach blossom eyes are captivating.At first glance, she looks like a young girl who has never left the court.There are some crow's feet at the end of the eyes, adding a touch of maturity.
"Why did you come home suddenly, without notifying me in advance?"
Mrs. Lin went to pick up her husband's robe.
"It just so happened that the Lan family sent some spiritual food. It's quite rare. I'll ask someone to get it for you."
She was about to order her servants, but Lin Ran grabbed her wrist.
"I have something to ask you."
Seeing her husband's serious face, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but chuckle: "What's the big deal? His eyes are so terrifying."
Lin Ran: "The child in the prophecy, have you dealt with it?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin's smile stiffened slightly, and then she pretended nothing had happened: "It's been so many years, why bring up old things again?"
Lin Ran: "Answer me."
"..."
Mrs. Lin said, "I followed my husband's order and burned the child to death. I'm afraid there will be no ashes left."
Lin Ran stared at the woman for a few seconds: "Have you ever heard of Yuluo Village?"
Mrs. Lin: "Fan, a small village in the Fan world, how could I hear about it?"
Lin Ran snorted coldly and shook off his wife's hand.
"Ten years ago, this village was slaughtered by demon cultivators, and only one child survived. He was brought back by Xiaoyaomen. Do you know the name of that child back then?"
Having said this, Mrs. Lin's face turned pale.
"I, I don't know."
Lin Ran looked at the change in his wife's expression: "Back then, you gave the child the word 'Lin'. Now that you have changed your surname, you still have the same name. And the child's eyes are exactly the same as yours."
Mrs. Lin could no longer speak, and her breathing became heavy.
Lin Ran shouted: "You clearly know that the child is unknown, he is born with a demon seed. But you kept him alive without telling me. If it endangers the world and the people of Liming in the future, who should be responsible!?"
Madam Lin's legs softened and she knelt down.
Memories from more than 20 years ago resurfaced before my eyes.
She was not fit enough, and she finally conceived a child, but she was born with a vision on the day of birth.
It was raining heavily and thunder was rumbling.The lightning in the sky was actually dyed blood red.I don't know if it's for this reason, even the downpour is filled with a bloody smell.
She had a difficult labor for a long time.When finally a child was born, but the child was not heard crying.When the people around saw the baby's appearance, their faces changed drastically.
Ordinary children are born with their eyes closed and narrowed into a slit.But the child's eyes were open, the whites of the eyes were small, the pupils were large, and the whole eye was extremely dark.
——Like a strange beast in human skin, it makes people shudder.
What's even more strange is that the baby's body is surrounded by dense magic lines.With the blood on his body running out, he gradually disappeared.
But the people around have seen it after all.That monster tattoo can only appear on one type of people.
Originally only existed in rumors and prophecies.No one thought that such a monster would really be born.
"Demon Seed!?"
I don't know who exclaimed.
Afterwards, Lin Ran dealt with all the insiders.If it was known that their Lin family gave birth to a natural demon, it would definitely be detrimental to the family.And this unknown child, he is also going to deal with it.
But when he was about to make a move, he was stopped by his wife.
Mrs. Lin said with a pale face, "I will do it myself."
The two hadn't had a child for many years, but it was this result that they finally conceived.
Lin Ran felt sorry for his wife, and agreed to the last request of the other party.The condition is that it must be dealt with in front of him.
"then."
Lin Ran looked at the madam who sat down paralyzed.
"I'll leave this matter to you all the way, and just wait on the sidelines. What kind of tricks did you use, dare to steal the sky in front of me?"
Mrs. Lin covered her face: "He is so small, he can be hugged with one hand. I really can't bear to—"
Lin Ran interrupted: "Haven't you thought about how serious the consequences would be if your heart softened for a moment?"
"But, but," Mrs. Lin's eyes were red, "nothing happened all these years. If the prediction goes wrong..."
"Have you forgotten?" Lin Ran said coldly, "The vision of the devil boy when he came into the world. He is born with a demon, and he cannot understand human emotions. He has not made a move yet, but he is just recharging his energy."
Mrs. Lin naturally knows that demon cultivators are terrible, not to mention that natural demons are thousands of times more terrifying than those cultivators who have fallen into demons.
She also knows the benevolence of her own woman.But even if she did it all over again, she might still be unable to bear it.
"Then, what are you going to do next?" Mrs. Lin raised her beautiful eyes, pleading with pity, "Either we send people to watch and take precautions in advance."
Lin Ran was unmoved: "I have sent someone to contact the elders of Xiaoyaomen."
Mrs. Lin was taken aback.
Lin Ran checked Xiao Lin's situation.
Although he took a life back then, it was probably because his spiritual root was damaged and his cultivation progress was very slow.It's only at the golden core stage now.
Before this demon becomes a weapon, he still has a chance.
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes.
"What you failed to do 20 years ago, I will do it myself."
Ever since the patriarch's son-in-law was taken away by Tiandaozong, the reputation of the Shen family has risen in the cultivation world.The size of the family property has more than doubled, and it has also established relationships with the three major cultivation families.
Everyone wants to make friends, and even introduces the lady of the family, hoping to form a good relationship with the Shen family.

After all, "Shen Xingcong" was erased from the family tree when he was introduced to the outside world, leaving only "Shen Hanling".Therefore, those who did not know the Shen family thought that Shen Hanling was the legitimate son.
After Shen Hanling finished that sentence, he stopped talking.Shen Xingcong also watched his heart with his eyes and nose.
He hoped that Patriarch Shen could justly refuse, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to stay here.
Patriarch Shen thought for a long time, but agreed.
"...Okay. Since it's Han Ling's request, let's go together."
The dinner was extremely sumptuous, with several large tables set up.
Shen Xingcong sat in the center of the main table, surrounded by everyone.He stared blankly at the food in front of him, and finally realized a fact belatedly.
For monks, the realm of cultivation is basically equivalent to the division of ranks.Even if Patriarch Shen is Shen Hanling's biological father, he can't easily speak out to teach him.
Because the major of the Shen family is only the ordinary Jindan stage.The Shen family's ability to grow bigger and stronger in these years is all due to Shen Hanling's cover.
Therefore, the relationship between Shen Hanling and the head of the Shen family is different from that of ordinary father and son.
At least no matter what Shen Hanling himself thought.For Patriarch Shen, he needs to support his own son.
On the surface, this dinner was to welcome Shen Hanling, but in fact it was to show off to outsiders and consolidate the status of the Shen family.
Patriarch Shen had already made up his mind.Shen Hanling didn't like gathering people, so he probably showed his face at most.
And that's enough.Then just hand it over to him to greet and entertain.
But he never expected that the man actually sat down.Looking at this posture, it seems that they want to have a meal together.
"..."
In other words, let Shen Xingcong have a meal.
From the moment he was seated, Shen Hanling had been picking up food for him.The bowls in front of Shen Xingcong had almost piled up into a hill.
It wasn't until he could no longer get it in that Shen Hanling asked in doubt: "Brother, why don't you eat?"
Shen Xingcong smiled awkwardly but politely.
Then he has to be able to eat it.
Now everyone is just looking at this side, treating him like a magical animal.How does he eat!ah?
To be honest, the cooks of the Shen family are good at cooking.Just sitting here, Shen Xingcong could smell the fragrance wafting into his nose.
But he really doesn't have much appetite now.
Shen Hanling thought for a while, thinking he had found the answer.To the side, Patriarch Shen said: "Father, elder brother doesn't seem to like sweets..."
"I like it, I like it."
Shen Xingcong didn't want the air to remain silent.
He was really afraid that Shen Hanling would change another table of food for him, so he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
Shen Hanling was relieved, and continued to add vegetables to his bowl.
Shen Xingcong swallowed while crying.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"The owner is back!"
The Lin family ran up and down to tell each other.
It is different from a small family like the Shen family, which can only be cramped at the junction of Lingyuan Continent and Mortal Realm.
As one of the three major cultivation families and the head of the family, the Lin family naturally occupies a good territory in Lingyuan Continent.Surrounded by spiritual energy all the year round, the servants are at least above the golden core stage.
Lin Ran not only has to manage the Heavenly Dao Sect, but also is the leader of the Immortal Alliance.Daily busy, rarely home.Therefore, all the trivial matters in the family are handed over to the wife.And when he came back this time, he also had something to ask.
After hearing the servant's announcement, Mrs. Lin came out generously.With a beautiful appearance, a pair of peach blossom eyes are captivating.At first glance, she looks like a young girl who has never left the court.There are some crow's feet at the end of the eyes, adding a touch of maturity.
"Why did you come home suddenly, without notifying me in advance?"
Mrs. Lin went to pick up her husband's robe.
"It just so happened that the Lan family sent some spiritual food. It's quite rare. I'll ask someone to get it for you."
She was about to order her servants, but Lin Ran grabbed her wrist.
"I have something to ask you."
Seeing her husband's serious face, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but chuckle: "What's the big deal? His eyes are so terrifying."
Lin Ran: "The child in the prophecy, have you dealt with it?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin's smile stiffened slightly, and then she pretended nothing had happened: "It's been so many years, why bring up old things again?"
Lin Ran: "Answer me."
"..."
Mrs. Lin said, "I followed my husband's order and burned the child to death. I'm afraid there will be no ashes left."
Lin Ran stared at the woman for a few seconds: "Have you ever heard of Yuluo Village?"
Mrs. Lin: "Fan, a small village in the Fan world, how could I hear about it?"
Lin Ran snorted coldly and shook off his wife's hand.
"Ten years ago, this village was slaughtered by demon cultivators, and only one child survived. He was brought back by Xiaoyaomen. Do you know the name of that child back then?"
Having said this, Mrs. Lin's face turned pale.
"I, I don't know."
Lin Ran looked at the change in his wife's expression: "Back then, you gave the child the word 'Lin'. Now that you have changed your surname, you still have the same name. And the child's eyes are exactly the same as yours."
Mrs. Lin could no longer speak, and her breathing became heavy.
Lin Ran shouted: "You clearly know that the child is unknown, he is born with a demon seed. But you kept him alive without telling me. If it endangers the world and the people of Liming in the future, who should be responsible!?"
Madam Lin's legs softened and she knelt down.
Memories from more than 20 years ago resurfaced before my eyes.
She was not fit enough, and she finally conceived a child, but she was born with a vision on the day of birth.
It was raining heavily and thunder was rumbling.The lightning in the sky was actually dyed blood red.I don't know if it's for this reason, even the downpour is filled with a bloody smell.
She had a difficult labor for a long time.When finally a child was born, but the child was not heard crying.When the people around saw the baby's appearance, their faces changed drastically.
Ordinary children are born with their eyes closed and narrowed into a slit.But the child's eyes were open, the whites of the eyes were small, the pupils were large, and the whole eye was extremely dark.
——Like a strange beast in human skin, it makes people shudder.
What's even more strange is that the baby's body is surrounded by dense magic lines.With the blood on his body running out, he gradually disappeared.
But the people around have seen it after all.That monster tattoo can only appear on one type of people.
Originally only existed in rumors and prophecies.No one thought that such a monster would really be born.
"Demon Seed!?"
I don't know who exclaimed.
Afterwards, Lin Ran dealt with all the insiders.If it was known that their Lin family gave birth to a natural demon, it would definitely be detrimental to the family.And this unknown child, he is also going to deal with it.
But when he was about to make a move, he was stopped by his wife.
Mrs. Lin said with a pale face, "I will do it myself."
The two hadn't had a child for many years, but it was this result that they finally conceived.
Lin Ran felt sorry for his wife, and agreed to the last request of the other party.The condition is that it must be dealt with in front of him.
"then."
Lin Ran looked at the madam who sat down paralyzed.
"I'll leave this matter to you all the way, and just wait on the sidelines. What kind of tricks did you use, dare to steal the sky in front of me?"
Mrs. Lin covered her face: "He is so small, he can be hugged with one hand. I really can't bear to—"
Lin Ran interrupted: "Haven't you thought about how serious the consequences would be if your heart softened for a moment?"
"But, but," Mrs. Lin's eyes were red, "nothing happened all these years. If the prediction goes wrong..."
"Have you forgotten?" Lin Ran said coldly, "The vision of the devil boy when he came into the world. He is born with a demon, and he cannot understand human emotions. He has not made a move yet, but he is just recharging his energy."
Mrs. Lin naturally knows that demon cultivators are terrible, not to mention that natural demons are thousands of times more terrifying than those cultivators who have fallen into demons.
She also knows the benevolence of her own woman.But even if she did it all over again, she might still be unable to bear it.
"Then, what are you going to do next?" Mrs. Lin raised her beautiful eyes, pleading with pity, "Either we send people to watch and take precautions in advance."
Lin Ran was unmoved: "I have sent someone to contact the elders of Xiaoyaomen."
Mrs. Lin was taken aback.
Lin Ran checked Xiao Lin's situation.
Although he took a life back then, it was probably because his spiritual root was damaged and his cultivation progress was very slow.It's only at the golden core stage now.
Before this demon becomes a weapon, he still has a chance.
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes.
"What you failed to do 20 years ago, I will do it myself."
