"Technically, even if he's not in the best shape, he should have recovered by now, unless he wants to take that step..." The old man stopped halfway through his sentence.
Lin Hai's eyes rolled as he blurted out, "Old man, what does that 'step' an?"
"Kids don't understand, don't butt in, the adults are thinking." Master Lin clearly didn't want to answer the question and waved his hand dismissively.
Lin Hai was speechless, this sounded like sothing he usually retorted to Ruoshuang.
Indeed, living in the world, everything cos full circle.
The old man got up, paced back and forth steadily, looking deep in thought, and mumbled to himself, "Sothing's off, we agreed back then, once Dabang recovered, he'd figure out a way to pull out of Heavenly Prison."
"It's been so many years, how co even the younger generation of the Lin Family don't know Dabang's na?"
Demon Young Master hesitated for a few seconds before he couldn't help but speak up, "Old man, I've really never seen Grandpa Dabang, and in recent years, even your na rarely gets ntioned in the family."
"What the hell? Even my na isn't ntioned anymore?" The old man's eyes widened instantly.
Lin Hai was exasperated, considering you're quite the venerable figure, how could you just blurt out 'What the hell?'
"For god's sake, I've been in Heavenly Prison for so long, the Lin Family nearly forgot about , damn it!" The old man frowned, clearly displeased.
Lin Hai, the CEO, Ruoshuang, Demon Young Master, and everyone present looked at each other, utterly speechless.
Ouyang Xiaoya slapped her forehead, seemingly realizing why the beastly man's morals were always off; it definitely runs in the family!
"Ahem, sorry, got a bit emotional there and let my true feelings slip." The old man noticed the strange expressions around him and coughed awkwardly.
Seeing the old man's embarrassed face, constantly rubbing his hands and scratching the back of his head, Lin Hai began to question his own existence.
"Speaking of which, Xiaobao, before I left, I left you so special herbs. These herbs are ant to cultivate your Golden Muscle Jade Bone at the level of Supre Strong. Although it's not as good as true Vajra Unbreakable or Golden Muscle Jade Bone, it's at least sothing to rely on at the sa level."
"But why don't I see any special signs on either of you? Did the practice fail?" The old man was puzzled, scrutinizing the two of them intently.
"What herbs?" Demon Young Master frowned; although he was well-treated, he seed to have never taken any herbs to forge Golden Muscle Jade Bone.
Lin Hai put on an innocent face, "Old man, I haven't even been inside the Lin Family's main gate, where would I see any herbs?"
"That's not right, Xiaobao grew up in the Lin Family, he should've seen them, no? Or are you just useless?"
Saying this, the old man stared at Demon Young Master.
"Old man, I've never seen any herbs." Demon Young Master said, puzzled.
"This doesn't make sense." The old man scratched his head again, then casually took a Hongi cigarette from Lin Hai's pocket, lit it, and blew a smoke ring.
Lin Hai rolled his eyes wildly.
Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes widened; the old man's smoking mannerism was just like the beastly man's.
"CEO, now do you understand why I don't smoke?" Lin Hai weakly whispered to the CEO.
"Nope." The CEO shook his head.
"Because, you see, I smoke, my grandpa smokes, and my dad must follow the genetic trend and also smoke. All three generations of us smoke, so for , there's no way I can't smoke, otherwise, I'd be cutting off the Lin Family's 'line of incense'!"
Ouyang Xiaoya was exasperated; if it weren't for Master Lin being present, she would've kicked the beastly man flying.
"Speaking of which, there's sothing fishy about this. I prepared herbs for crafting Little Golden Muscle Jade Bone for you direct descendants." The old man was still pondering the matter.
Demon Young Master also realized sothing was off, thought carefully, and continued, "Old man, in recent years, our direct lineage hasn't produced any Experts. I'm already considered the strongest of the younger generation."
"Now that you ntion it, I seem to recall sothing suspicious."
The old man grabbed Demon Young Master and imdiately asked, "What suspicious signs?"
"In recent years, no Experts with special physiques have erged from our direct lineage. To my knowledge, in branches like the Wind Series, Fire Series, and Mountain Faction, it seems so young people with decent talent have erged over the past few years."
"Moreover, I don't understand the features of Golden Muscle Jade Bone, but it seems the side-branch youngsters do have stronger physiques compared to our direct lineage."
Demon Young Master's words imdiately alerted both the old man and Lin Hai.
The direct lineage has no special physiques, while the side branch has strong ones, which says a lot.
"Damn, who's the current head of our family?" The old man's eyes flashed with unkindness.
"It's Uncle Lin Xiangyun." Demon Young Master replied truthfully.
"Lin Xiangyun?" The old man furrowed his brows, reminiscing, "Shouldn't it be Lin Tulong, Lin Aotian, or Lin Zhanfu from that younger generation?"
"Wait, who the hell is Lin Xiangyun? I hadn't heard of a descendant with that na."
Lin Hai covered his face, feeling like he's lost face in front of everyone and the world.
Did our family even attend elentary school, what's with the nas they're giving?
AoTian? Tulong? Zhanfo? Is this the kind of nas a super family should have?
Lin Hai used to feel his na was average, but now, compared to those, it was undoubtedly top-notch, enhancing his confidence and sense of superiority.
"Uncle Lin Xiangyun seems to be from our direct lineage as well."
"However, those you ntioned are all in seclusion or missing..." The more Demon Young Master spoke, the more he felt sothing was amiss within the Lin Family.
The old man's frown deepened: "Looks like I'll have to go back to the Lin Family."
"Old man, we'll go with you." Lin Hai and Demon Young Master understood the importance of the issue and offered to go.
The old man waved them off: "No need, I want to walk alone for a bit, I've been in Heavenly Prison too long."
"Besides, I ca out this ti mainly to investigate the whereabouts of Netherworld Guest and Taotie, there's a lot to do and you can't help much."
Lin Hai and Demon Young Master remained silent.
"Alright, that'll be it. The old man's ti outside is limited. If I overstay, those old fellows from Yanhuang Soul and Xuanyuan Family will imdiately team up to find , damn it."
"Oh, Xiaobao, I think 'Ye' sounds odd, Xiaobao sounds better, you should keep the Lin Family's lineage going strong."
"And you, Xiaobao Jian, are these all your wives? Good job, you've got the right Lin Family spirit. Alright, no more nonsense, I'll make my move now. Next ti I'm out, look for , and rember to take to the best foot massage place in Yanjing."
Having said that, the old man stepped out the window, disappearing decisively, leaving the group staring at each other.
