Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Not everything in this world can have a happy ending.
The feud between Lin Geng and the Lin family has long been settled, and the attitude of the parties concerned is so lukewarm. The rest can only be left to time, or maybe there will be no chance to break the ice in a lifetime.
Ningxia couldn't help but feel a little sad to hear that the family had reached this point.
She also had some vague thoughts in her heart. Lin Geng is an honest person. He is actually very similar to Lin Pingzhen. He is upright, pure and kind, full of principles, and is a typical gentleman. Moreover, there is another thing about this elder who has wasted his life in a remote corner that is not so similar to Lin Pingzhen, and that is his soft heart.
In the face of close family members, Lin Geng is even willing to ignore himself and put his own interests at the lowest level. Rather than being harmed by himself, he cannot bear the harm to his relatives because of him. Although Lin Pingzhen is a little soft-hearted, he is moderate. Most of the time, this young man behaves like his master with toughness, but he is soft on the outside but strong in reality.
But even Lin Geng's temper could not be forgiven, forcing him to refuse more and more cruelly. I guess there was a big problem in it. Ningxia thought about it and asked Ning's father and others to keep a distance from the Lin family, so as not to make things difficult for Lin Geng.
Ningxia didn't know what Lin Pingzhen's attitude was towards his cousin. Although there was a lot of emotion, the tone was not without a sense of distance, and it seemed that there was no intention to communicate more.
"Even if I want to discuss marriage with her, I have to see if the other party is willing. That child is also a sensible person." Lin Pingzhen sighed.
He recognized the other party naturally because he had seen the other party's portrait. When Lin's father returned to Shanshi City and told him about the grievances of the previous generation, he sent people to secretly investigate the Lin Mansion.
He also learned that there were still many relatives in his father's family, including his grandparents, and that the Lin family was also one of the most ordinary merchants in Shanshi City, so he put aside his doubts.
The grudges between his parents' generation have passed away, but after all, it is his father's family, and he still recognizes the family that gave birth to him and raised him. Even if he doesn't want to meet, that is his father's family.
To be cautious, Lin Pingzhen still checked the Lin family's trajectory. Fortunately, the Lin family has a clean history and has been a decent person for generations. Lin Cong, the head of this generation, also has a good reputation. The Lin family is actually clean inside and out. There is probably no other dirty incident except for the tragedy that happened more than twenty years ago.
As for his two cousins, one of them follows the middle path and will most likely take over the Lin family's property in the future. The other one is Lin Ling'er. His cousin is a true disciple of Tianxing Pavilion. She was taught by Zhenjun Yuhe and is said to be quite popular.
However, Wuhua Sect and Tianxing Pavilion were both sects in the southeastern border, but they were very at odds with each other. There were conflicts from time to time, and neither one accepted the other's orders. In the current chaotic situation, the two forces are in an extremely delicate balancing relationship, fearing each other and briefly cooperating for a common goal.
Even if the cousins Lin Pingzhen and Lin Ling'er have a good relationship, they probably can't get too close because of their respective positions, so as not to be criticized. What's more, the two of them are not familiar with each other at all, and they can only understand each other.
"...Okay, I've lost track of time with what I've been talking about. It turns out it's this time." Lin Pingzhen murmured when he heard the time outside.
"Okay, let's eat quickly. It happens to be about the same time after we finish eating." Lin Pingzhen put a piece of lotus root on the Ningxia plate and urged slightly.
"Oh, oh!" Ningxia nodded.
The two of them began to sweep the spiritual food on the table. After all, only when they eat well and feel comfortable can they cope with the consequences better.

the other side
The group of people is slowly approaching their destination, and they are the other group of people meeting this time.
Compared with Ningxia, where they are single and weak, Tianxing Pavilion is a big battle, with a group of seven or eight people connected, including several late-stage Jindan monks with profound cultivation.
Among them, Lin Ling'er is probably the one with the lowest cultivation level, but with her cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building, her aura is a bit restless and she is expected to be promoted to the later stage soon. But she is particularly conspicuous among the golden elixir monks.
Seeing that Lin Ling'er seemed a little absent-minded, Zhou Ji was a little worried: "Ling'er, what's wrong with you? You're really a little heavy today."
Lin Ling'er shook her head and said that her senior brother noticed because she was too conspicuous. But he didn't intend to say it.
Zhou Ji, on the other hand, had a bright eye and a bright mind: "But are you thinking about Master Qinghui?"
Lin Ling'er never thought that all her secrets would be revealed. She felt panic in her heart and couldn't help but show it on her face.
Zhou Jizilai loves Lin Ling'er, his junior sister, and will definitely not harm her. The reason why he said it is because he can't see that the other party is suspicious and full of worries. He had watched this person grow up, so how could he not know that she was a simple-minded person? She would definitely not be able to explain this kind of thing clearly.
"Do you really think that Master accepted you just because he was looking at you? That is a true disciple, the most core talent cultivated by the sect. What if you are sent by some other force?" Zhou Ji said warmly.
Lin Linger was stunned for a moment, as if she had not thought of this.
Zhou Ji was helpless. Although Lin Ling'er had a pampered temperament, she was pure in mind. It is this purity that keeps her absolutely loyal to her brothers, her teacher, and her sect. And this loyalty is the culprit that is "torturing" Lin Ling'er at this moment.
Lin Ling'er naturally knew that Lin Ping was really her cousin. But just like Lin Pingzhen's mentality, the two had never met before, and they were talking about brotherhood. The same goes for her, so naturally she won't have much emotional burden.
She was more worried about her role in the meeting. She was actually doubting... This time the contact was big or small, so why did she, an inconspicuous person like her, be sent here?
Thinking about the history and origins of her sect and the Wuhua sect, which have always been at odds with each other, even if Lin Ling'er is simple-minded, it is easy for her to go astray.
Also, although she considered herself to be wholeheartedly loyal to the sect, she could not resist Lin Pingzhen's aloof status in the Wuhua Sect. Regardless of her actual relationship with the other party, Lin Pingzhen is her real cousin by blood. You must know that in the eyes of many people, blood ties are unbreakable.
It's really suspected that she can't tell the difference.
Moreover, there is a layer of worry in her heart that no one else knows, which stems from an old incident that her father told her many years ago. The fate of her predecessors was long gone, but the fact that Lin Pingzhen's father was reduced to poverty in the villages and towns during those years was closely related to her father. She didn't know what Lin Pingzhen thought of their family.
If Lin Ping really tried to create a rift among them, it would be enough for her to eat a pot. Tianxing Pavilion's attitude toward traitors is the harshest among all the righteous sects.
