Chapter 778 - 778: The Lin Family’s Crisis
Fortunately, he had asked around in advance and knew that Ren Xiaomeng was someone his Big Brother had met on the way. However, he cared a lot about her and cared for her very much.
Otherwise, if he came to disturb him in the middle of the night, He Chuan might not even let him in!
“The weasel wishes the chicken a happy new year. I don’t think you have any good intentions, do you?” The corners of He Chuan’s mouth curled up slightly, and his face had an expression of seeing through her.
“As expected of Big Brother, you’re indeed awesome!” Yao Qiankun did not feel embarrassed when he saw that his scheme had been exposed. Instead, he took the opportunity to brag.
He knew He Chuan had come to the imperial capital this time because of Wenfeng’s injury at the Teng Sword Sect.
However, the Teng Sword Sect was currently preparing for the disciple recruitment ceremony in ten days. Even if it were related to the literary style, it would not be easy to enter.
He could take the opportunity to look for clues outside the Teng Sword Sect and simultaneously prepare to treat He Wenfeng’s injuries.
Yao Qiankun looked at He Chuan nervously, waiting for a reply.
However, when she saw He Chuan was unmoved and had a cold expression on his face, looking as if he was waiting for something, he felt a chill in his heart.
“You came over in the middle of the night just to tell me this?” He Chuan raised his eyebrows and said.
Yao Qiankun was speechless and embarrassed.
“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t hesitate!”
“Big Brother, you have to save me this time!” Seeing the impatient expression on He Chuan’s face, Yao Qiankun immediately gritted his teeth and knelt down.
“Spurt!” Ren Xiaomeng, who was eating happily, was shocked by Yao Qiankun’s sudden action. She spat out all the food that was stuffed in her mouth.
“What exactly happened?” He Chuan was puzzled.
Yao Qiankun immediately explained the situation in the Eight Treasures Pavilion with tears and mucus in his eyes.
This matter concerned the lives of everyone in the Yao family. It was of great importance, so he had no choice but to come and ask He Chuan for help.
“You want me to replace your father and participate in the inspection competition?” He Chuan couldn’t stand Yao Qiankun anymore and interrupted him.
“Yes!” Yao Qiankun nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. Then, he looked at He Chuan with a face full of hope.
“On account of your loyalty, I’ll help you this time!” He Chuan said lightly.
“Thank you, Big Brother!” Yao Qiankun was overjoyed and excited.
Yao Qiankun stood up and stood at the side with a respectful and humble expression.
Tiredness appeared on He Chuan’s face as he waved his hand to signal Yao Qiankun to leave.
However, Yao Qiankun did not leave. Instead, he remained where he was, not moving at all.
He seemed to be shocked by He Chuan’s straightforward agreement.
Of course, he did not know that He Chuan agreed to his request entirely because of his previous care for the He family and his performance in the capital today.
To be honest, with He Chuan’s character, which could be called an old monster, such a small matter was completely unworthy of his attention.
Yao Wenhao’s success or failure, the Yao family’s life or death, had nothing to do with him.
He didn’t even care about losing his henchmen. He wouldn’t take it to heart at all.
However, whether it was the gift that Yao Qiankun sent to the He family in Canglan City or the help that Lin Yao and his son gave him later, it was enough to see that Yao Qiankun was truly sincere and respectful towards him.
He Chuan didn’t like owing favors and wouldn’t go to someone who respected him from the bottom of his heart.
“Is there anything else?”
“No, no more…”
“Still not leaving?”
“I won’t disturb Big Brother’s rest. I’ll pick you up tomorrow afternoon!” Yao Qiankun regained his senses and hurriedly nodded.
“Come in the morning. Just in time to pick some medicinal ingredients for you.
In addition, I can help you refine pills to suppress the Pill Fire Beast Transformation in your body.”
He Chuan said lightly.
Yao Qiankun hurriedly nodded and cupped his hands.
He Chuan waved his hand tiredly again. Yao Qiankun would be assessed for his alchemy skills tomorrow, so he had to go back and make preparations! Yao Qiankun retreated respectfully.
However, he gritted his teeth in his heart. No matter what, he had to pass tomorrow’s assessment.
After all, it was no longer a matter of one person. It concerned the survival of the Yao family!
Imperial City, Lin family.
Lin Ruo’er, who had only returned to her family home in the middle of the night, pushed open the door and entered. Her tall and straight figure under the moonlight appeared.
“Third Uncle?” Lin Ruo’er was slightly surprised.
“You killed Qi Hai of the Qi family on the street today?” Lin Wendao, who was wearing a long brocade robe and a gold belt, asked coldly with a cold expression.
“Yes!” Lin Ruo’er was neither servile nor overbearing and did not hide anything.
“Don’t you know that apart from being a disciple of the Yanyang Academy, Qi Hai is also the only son of the Qi Clan’s Grand Elder, Qi Shengvvu?
“I know!”
“You still killed him even though you knew?” Lin Wendao frowned.
Although the Qi family was only a second-rate family in the capital, they were still relatives of the royal family.
No matter how wrong Qi Hai was, he could be punished. Why did he have to kill him?
Now, that old fellow Qi Shengwu had sent someone to send a letter of challenge, demanding an explanation.
“I’ve already killed them. If the Qi family wants revenge, let them come and find me!” Lin Ruo’er interrupted Lin Wendao and said firmly.
“Ruo’er!” Looking at the indifferent Lin Ruo’er, Lin Wendao suddenly had mixed feelings.
Ever since his brother’s accident, this niece of his had become completely cold and aloof!
Ruo’er had the Divine Phoenix Treasured Body and had reached the peak of Life Cultivation, but it did not mean that she was fearless!
“You had to know that the family was filled with complaints.”
“Second Brother could make a move at any time. Moreover, the other families were even more covetous!”
“But as long as I can save Father, I can give up everything!” Lin Ruo’er’s expression remained calm.
“What does it have to do with the Clan Leader?” Lin Wendao asked with some doubt.
“All I did was to save my father!” In the end, Lin Ruder still told him everything.
In the huge Lin family, the only person she could trust now was this third uncle!
Lin Wendao’s face turned uglier and uglier as he listened. In the end, his entire face darkened.
This was simply nonsense! Even Master Fu Qingfeng, who had great alchemy skills, was helpless.
She actually placed her hopes on the youth?
“Could it be that this little brat who was still wet behind the ears was more powerful than Master Fu Qingfeng, who was a high-level spirit alchemist and had divine medical skills?”
“Previously, Grandmaster Fu Qingfeng said that he could save father if we found the Seventh Metal Fire Essence, but what happened in the end?” Lin Ruo’er said calmly.
He Chuan had never seen his father before, so he concluded that the Seventh Metal Fire Essence was useless.
The truth was right in front of him.
Even if there were only a sliver of hope, Lin Ruo’er would not let go of this opportunity.
“Otherwise, Father will really be hopeless!”
The anger on Lin Wendao’s face disappeared. He shook his head tiredly and turned to leave.
Seeing Third Uncle leave, Lin Ruo’er heaved a sigh of relief. However, a determined expression appeared on her pretty face. She went straight to the deepest courtyard.
Lin Ruo’er’s coldness dissipated, and her sorrow disappeared. It was replaced by a sweet smile. She pushed open the door and went straight to the bedroom.
“Father, I’m back!” In the dark room, the candlelight flickered.
The man, wrapped in a thick quilt, opened his eyes with difficulty.
“Ruo’er!” A smile appeared on his frosty face, and his voice was weak and hoarse..
