Lin Yu followed the cliff and came to the top of the mountain. I vaguely heard the sound of sweeping the floor nearby...
Lin Yu leaned down from the darkness again, followed the voice and kept getting closer, and found a young man about his own age holding a broom in his hand, sweeping the dead leaves on the ground...
And that face was somewhat familiar to Lin Yu. It was Lin Heng, one of the few people he could talk to when he was a child!
Although Lin Heng was able to differentiate the source knot very quickly when he was young, his cultivation talent was so poor that he was ridiculed by his tribe.
Lin Yu felt relieved now, then walked over and said, "Lin Heng!"
The young man was vaguely startled. Looking at the young man in black in front of him, he couldn't help but trembled: "Who!..., you, who are you?"
Lin Yu slowly took off his face mask, then smiled and said, "It's me, Lin Heng! Why do you appear here?"
Lin Heng was a little stunned. After looking at Lin Yu carefully for a few times, he felt relieved: "Lin Yu! How dare you come back? Those people will kill you!"
Lin Heng whispered, and kept looking around, for fear of being discovered by outsiders.
Lin Heng pulled Lin Yu into the cave at the top of the mountain, then held up the candle and said, "You'd better run! They will definitely kill you when they see you now!"
Lin Yu said seriously: "Lin Heng, what happened in the clan! Why are my father, Wan'er, the great elder, and the clan leader missing?"
After hearing this, Lin Heng lowered his head and said with lowered eyes: "All the elders are dead..."
Lin Yu was shocked, and a chill came directly from his back: "What about my father and Wan'er?"
"..., your father is also dead..., sister Wan'er is now in the Gu Mansion." Lin Heng said.
Lin Yu couldn't accept it for a while, and felt a pain in his heart. Although Lin Shan didn't have much affection for himself, after all, he had been raising him for more than ten years.
"The clan leader was also brutally killed..."
Lin Yu's eyes became dim, but he still asked: "What happened!"
Lin Heng shook his head and said: "I don't know much about the specific cause of the matter. It's just that half a year ago, Gu Mansion led everyone to break into Lin Mansion, and together with the two elders, they attacked the clan!"
"The second elder?..., the second elder was bribed by the Gu family?" Lin Yu asked.
Lin Heng shook his head and continued: "I don't know the specific reason. The Gu family is so powerful that the elders and clan leaders can't resist it. It seems that the Gu family wants to annex the Lin clan in one fell swoop. The clan leader and the elders want to prevent the Lin clan from being destroyed. He agreed to all the conditions he proposed and married sister Wan'er into the Gu family."
Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't bear it anymore. He clenched his fist and smashed it against the wall.
"Originally, the matter was going to end like this, but a few months ago, the Gu family member came again, violated the contract, and massacred all the elders, clan leaders, and disciples in the clan in one fell swoop. If I hadn't been a useless person, I would have It's hard to fall into his vicious hands." Lin Heng said desperately.
Lin Yu said angrily: "Why is this Gu family so rude! Could it be that they still have a grudge against our Lin clan because of what happened before!"
Lin Heng said: "I don't know about this. I am a useless person. Naturally, I don't understand the things in the inner courtyard."
"The second elder is now the leader of the Lin clan. He also ordered that once he sees you come back, you will be massacred on the spot with a reward of ten thousand taels."
Lin Yu did not expect that such a change would occur in this small Wuling City in the year he left.
Lin Yu did not feel too much grief for the Lin clan's massacre, because he had been abandoned and reviled by the Lin clan since he was a child. But after knowing the situation of Lin Wange and Lin Shan, his heart felt like a knife.
For Lin Shan, no matter what, Lin Yu was still very grateful for his upbringing. As for Wan'er, Lin Yu has always regarded her as his biological sister.
"..., was my father killed?" Lin Yu asked.
Lin Heng shook his head and said, "It should be the person from the Gu family! I was afraid at that time and had to hide in the dark, so naturally I didn't know."
Lin Yu wants to avenge Lin Shan! I want a life for a life! This is not an impulsive thought, it is just the passion that a young man should have!
"They asked me to clean up every corner of Enlightenment Peak these days. Someone will come to check later. You'd better leave here quickly." Lin Heng said worriedly.
Lin Yu was very grateful to Lin Heng. No matter what happened to this young man, the kindness in his heart never changed.
"What are your future plans?" Lin Yu couldn't bear to leave Lin Heng here alone.
"I'm used to it, and I'm a useless person, so they won't do anything to me." Lin Heng said with relief.
Lin Yu then angrily punched the wall twice. This member of the Gu family was so unreasonable and arrogant.
Lin Yu was very worried about Lin Wange's safety. He didn't know how the Gu family treated her, and with Wange's temperament, how could she compromise and become the victim of the marriage?
"Have you ever seen Wan'er again since then?" Lin Yu asked.
Lin Heng sighed: "I'm not sure, but I didn't see it."
Lin Yu couldn't stop worrying and planned to go to the Gu Mansion to find out what Wan Ge was doing now. If possible, Lin Yu wanted to find out the reason why the Gu Mansion suddenly took action against the Lin family.
"You can rest here tonight. Now that the clan has changed a lot, you have nowhere to go. Just leave early tomorrow morning." Lin Heng looked at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu looked at the color of the day and realized that it was indeed very late. It would be unsafe to break into the Gu Mansion today.
"Um."
In order to prevent accidents, Lin Heng also told Lin Yu that he would stay in front tonight and inform Lin Yu immediately if an outsider broke in.
Although Lin Yu lay down on the stone slab and closed his eyes, he had no intention of falling asleep.
Lin Shan's face kept flashing in his mind. Every time it flickered, Lin Yu's heart would still twist inadvertently. He had not experienced this feeling for a long time.
Nowadays, the Lin family has undergone great changes, and the entire Lin family is a disciple of the Gu family. The Lin clan, which was once one of the three major families in Wuling City, has now quietly become a branch of the Gu family. Whoever knows about such a thing will make people feel sad. But this is the rule that has long been changed in this world. The strong live and the weak die! Capital without strength will ultimately be at the mercy of others.
What Lin Yu hopes now is that Lin Wange can live a better life. If possible, Lin Yu wants to take her away from this place, the Gu family, and Wuling City.
