Chapter 1,755 Engagement
"That's all the questions. I'll figure out the other issues slowly."
Lin Mu said calmly.
"good."
The Great Elder nodded, and then his expression became complicated. He looked at Lin Mu and said, "You are not Lin Mu, are you?"
It is impossible for the fifth son of the Lin family to know so much, let alone have such a mentality of looking down upon everything.
"The Lin Mu you know has been killed by Lin You's men."
Lin Mu said: "I didn't kill him because of his slander, but more to end the relationship with the fifth son of the Lin family."
There was another thing he didn't say, and more importantly, Lin You's slander would affect his plan.
Hearing this, the great elder looked sad for a while, but he quickly recovered.
Although he regretted the death of the fifth son of the Lin family, he had lived for so many years and had seen countless lives and deaths. The Lin family would never lack geniuses.
"Then I wonder what the purpose of your visit to our Lin Mansion is?"
What concerned the Great Elder even more was the current Lin Mu.
He had realized that the Lin Mu in front of him was definitely not an ordinary cultivator.
Lin Mu turned to look at him and said slowly: "My purpose is not in the Lin Mansion. The Lin Mansion is just a springboard for me, but no matter what I do, it will only be good for the Lin family, and there will be no harm, right?"
With his situation, he would naturally not carefully pretend to be the fifth son of the Lin family, and then be on guard at all times, even cautiously dealing with an esteemed person like the First Elder.
His choice method was very domineering. He directly told the great elder the truth and let the great elder make a choice.
He believed that the Great Elder would understand what he meant.
The First Elder really understood: "Your Excellency, are you using your identity as the fifth son of the Lin family to achieve your goals? At the same time, you want me to help you solve other problems and confirm your identity?"
"good."
Lin Mu nodded, talking to smart people would save trouble.
"Aren't you worried that when your purpose is about to be realized in the future, I will expose your identity?"
The great elder said in surprise.
Lin Mu smiled: "As you wish."
He is not worried at all about this. With his strength, it doesn't matter if the Great Elder exposes his identity.
In this dark forest, no one can threaten his life except the Emperor Ancestor. Even if he directly faces the Saint Ancestor of the Dark Temple, he will not be timid.
The great elder's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and then he looked deeply at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu's simple answer revealed absolute confidence. At least Lin Mu didn't take the Lin family seriously.
You must know that Lin Ya, the head of the Lin family, is the fifth elder of the Dark Temple and a Taoist god with nine epochs of cultivation. Isn't Lin Mu's true strength not inferior to Lin Ya's?
"I appreciate your sympathy for what happened today, but if you want me to harm the interests of the Lin family, I will never agree."
Then, the great elder took a deep breath and said.
"Then you can help me solve the troubles outside. I don't have time to deal with these messy things."
Lin Mu simply acted as a hands-off shopkeeper and left all the trouble to the great elder.
The great elder smiled bitterly, but did not say any words of rejection.
For a cultivator, solving problems in cultivation is no less than a life-saving grace. This kindness is enough to make him grateful to Lin Mu for the rest of his life.
At that moment, the other elders aggressively wanted to punish Lin Mu, but the great elder forcibly stopped them.
"Great Elder, although you are the Great Elder, are you being too domineering today?"
"Lin Mu killed Lin You. Lin You is not only a direct descendant of the Lin family, but also his elder brother. You actually stopped us from punishing him for such a beastly behavior?"
"If we don't give us an explanation today, how will we manage our descendants in the future? Why is it necessary for the Lin family's family rules to continue?"
The other elders were furious and accused the great elder.
"Explain?"
The Great Elder narrowed his eyes and said, "I have nothing to explain. I only have one sentence. I want to punish Lin Mu. Wait until I step down."
"You're just messing around."
The third elder said angrily.
"Anyway, let's all leave today and do whatever you have to do."
The great elder waved his hand.
This is the only way he can handle this matter.
Zhao Huwei and others were silenced by Lin You, and Lin You was killed by Lin Mu. All the evidence in favor of Lin Mu disappeared. Even if he wanted to prove that Lin You killed Lin Mu first, Lin Mu could not do it after he fought back.
The crime of Lin You framed Lin Mu was not enough to offset Lin Mu's crime of killing Lin You, so he could only use his own prestige to suppress this matter.
Lin Mu continued to read the books about the Dark Temple in the room of the fifth son of the Lin family, and his understanding of the Dark Temple became deeper and deeper.
Boom, boom, boom!
The next day, there was a knock on his door.
"Enter."
Lin Mu was meditating when he heard the sound and opened his eyes.
The person who opened the door and walked in was a descendant of the Lin family named Lin Yue.
"That... fifth brother..."
Lin Yue looked very reserved.
What happened yesterday made Lin Mu become a "legend" among the younger generation of the family. He beheaded Lin You and was protected by the great elders afterwards.
To the younger generation of the Lin family, such Lin Mu has become a god.
Disciples like Lin Yue, who usually admired Lin Mu, undoubtedly became more respectful.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Mu said calmly.
"Just now, the Wei family sent a message saying that they are going to hold an exchange meeting for heroes from the Wei family and the Lin family."
Lin Yue said cautiously.
"What does it have to do with me?"
Lin Mu frowned.
"It's a big deal. When the Wei family sent the message, they already knew that Lin You was killed by you. They named you and said that you are the leader of the new generation of our Lin family. They said that they must see your style in this exchange meeting."
Lin Yue said.
"What did they say that I had to ignore them?"
Lin Mu had no time to waste time competing among these aristocratic families.
"This... I'm afraid it really needs to be taken care of."
Lin Yue smiled bitterly, "The head of the Wei family is the second elder of the Dark Temple, ranking far above my Lin family. The strength of the Wei family is not comparable to that of my Lin family."
Lin Mu frowned even more: "Then are they out of their minds? Why are they holding such an exchange meeting? And they asked me to go by name?"
"Fifth brother, I'm afraid no one knows the reason better than you, right?"
Lin Yue looked at Lin Mu speechlessly, feeling that Lin Mu was asking questions knowingly.
"explain."
Lin Mu said calmly.
Lin Yue sighed inwardly, no wonder Fifth Brother was doing so well, his pretense skills were far beyond what he could compare to.
But of course he didn't dare to say that, and said quickly: "It's not because the patriarch was severely injured ten years ago and the situation is not good, the Wei family no longer looks down on my Lin family and has the intention to regret the marriage."
"Regret the marriage?"
Lin Mu's eyes showed strange color.
Although he read the memory of the fifth son of the Lin family, he did not inherit it completely after all. There were still some memories missing. He was not very clear about the affairs of the Wei family.
"Yes, this Wei family is really disgusting."
Lin Yue said angrily: "Back then, it was clearly his Wei family who took the initiative to arrange an engagement between Wei Xue and Fifth Brother. Now that he sees the bad situation in our Wei family, he wants to break up the engagement. It's simply not what a human being would do."
Lin Mu was completely speechless. Such a clichéd thing had happened to him.
