"Your father had just taken over as the head of the family at that time and knew nothing about your mother's identity. I knew the seriousness of the matter and ignored your mother's objections, so I told your father your mother's origin. Your
My father was very shocked after hearing this, but he just asked me what the Lin family's attitude would be towards this matter. At that time, your father didn't understand those super families at all."
"At that time, I also knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden, and the longer it was delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be, so I had no choice but to send a letter to your grandpa and inform him of everything that happened here. I expected that your grandpa would be very angry when he heard about it.
. Sure enough, a few days later, your grandfather personally brought people from the Lin Family Law Enforcement Hall here..."
"This kind of thing happened to a descendant of the Lin family and the eldest daughter. This is a shame for the entire Lin family. He was so angry that he wanted to take your father's life, but how could your mother look at her?
My husband died in front of me, so I can only plead with your grandfather with my own life and promise to leave the Huangfu family after giving birth to the child and never come back."
"Just like that, a few months later, on the day you were born, your mother was picked up by the Lin family, and she left a message: declare to the outside world that Lin Qingji died due to dystocia, and block all news about her. If there is any disclosure,
, no chickens or dogs will be left alive in the Huangfu family!"
"With the strength of the Lin family, it is only a matter of seconds to destroy the Huangfu family. Your father knows that he cannot prevent this from happening. He can only watch your mother being taken away, and there is nothing he can do."
After saying these words in a calm tone, the old man in gray took a deep breath and looked at the young man next to him who lowered his head and said nothing.
"After saying this, you should have some understanding of the situation back then..."
Huangfu Lin Xi nodded lightly, clasped his hands slightly, with no expression on his face. After a while, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Then why did senior stay at Huangfu's house?"
The old man in gray sighed
"Hey, after returning to the family, your mother's mood was also very low, especially since she was taken away by the Lin family without even having time to see you after giving birth to you. She not only misses your father, but also misses you very much.
So she asked me to return to Huangfu's house to provide you with more protection. Looking at your mother's haggard look, I really couldn't bear to refuse, so I agreed to her request. Your grandfather felt sorry for his daughter.
I also acquiesced to this behavior. After that, I came to Huangfu’s house for fifteen years.”
Hearing this, Huangfu Lin Xi was suddenly in awe of the old man in gray in front of him. For a promise, he gave up the Lin family's fine clothes, fine food, and prominent status, and came to this small Huangfu family without hesitation.
It takes such a big heart to protect Jiange for so many years.
"Senior, I am extremely grateful for everything you have done for the Huangfu family over the years." Huangfu Lin Xi stood up and bowed.
The old man in gray clothes smiled and waved his hands.
"You father and son have the same temperament. Your father has said these words so many times that my ears are calloused. There is no need to say such words again in the future. This is my promise to your mother."
After a pause, the old man in gray continued: "However, it is best not to let anyone know about my identity. In the Huangfu family, only your father knew about it before. If it is known to outsiders, there will inevitably be some trouble."
Huangfu Lin Xi nodded clearly.
"You already know the ins and outs of the matter. You should have some thoughts in your mind now, right? Let's talk about it." Seeing the change in the eyes of the young man in front of him, the old man in gray suddenly asked this sentence.
Huangfu Lin Xi's eyes fluctuated for a moment. Since he knew that his mother was still alive, as a son, he would not remain indifferent.
"I will go find my mother!"
The old man in gray nodded. He had already guessed the answer, but there were some things he still needed to be reminded of.
"Son, the Lin family is so huge that you can't imagine it now. Even if you try to conquer the younger generation in Qinan City, you can even be at the forefront in Tengyang Territory. But these things are nothing to the Lin family. Looking at it,
Among the forces in the entire Seven Swords Continent, the Lin family's strength is also ranked among the top three, but the real reason that determines the Lin family's transcendent status is the inheritance of the Lin family."
"Inheritance?" Huangfu Lin Xi looked at the old man in gray in front of him with confusion.
"The Lin family is a sword-making family!" the old man in gray said slowly.
"A sword-making family?" Huangfu Lin Xi was really shocked now. He was also very clear about the status of sword-making masters on the mainland. A sword-making family could really be said to be a behemoth in the entire Seven Swords Continent.
Hearing this, Huangfu Lin Xi fell silent.
The old man in gray ignored Huangfu Lin Xi's shock and continued: "So, it is easy to see your mother now, but there will be a lot of trouble then. Of course, your mother will definitely do her best to help you deal with these things.
…”
"Senior!" Huangfu Lin Xi suddenly interrupted the old man in gray and said with firm eyes: "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will not go to the Lin family if I don't have the strength to solve those troubles!"
The old man in gray clothes looked at the determined young man in front of him, nodded happily, and then thought of something. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Do you know the origin of the spiritual fire?"
Listening to these unfamiliar words, Huangfu Lin Xi shook his head in confusion.
The old man in gray nodded. It was understandable that the other party didn't know. In this Qinan City, there is no way to come into contact with things of this level.
"Strictly speaking, the original spirit fire is a kind of bloodline, and it is also what all swordsmiths dream of. However, it can only be obtained through the awakening of one's own bloodline, and cannot be taken from others. Over the thousands of years, there have been many people
With this original spiritual fire awakened in their bodies, these people are
A certain ancestor possesses this kind of spiritual fire in his body, which is continued through the bloodline and has blessed his descendants. However, there are very few such people. Not to mention that there are not many ancestors who have spiritual fire, and even the chance of awakening is extremely low.
, from this point of view, those who can have good luck are very rare."
"But the Lin family is different. The ancestors of the Lin family are a sword-making family. The original spiritual fire they possess is called the Golden Spirit Fantasy Earth Flame, and the bloodline is very strong. Even now, the chance of the descendants of the Lin family awakening to the spiritual fire is extremely high.
Especially for direct descendants, the rate is almost over 90%. Your mother is the eldest daughter of the family, so you should have the original spiritual fire in your body, haven't you felt it?"
"I have the original spiritual fire? I don't feel it."
Huangfu Lin Xi looked puzzled at this time.
"No?" The old man in gray also looked at Huangfu Lin Xi with confusion, feeling very strange.
"The bloodline spiritual fire usually awakens before the age of twenty. If you haven't awakened after the age of twenty, you will no longer have the chance to have the spiritual fire. Maybe you need to wait for some time."
The old man in gray clothes thought for a while and then spoke.
"Oh." Huangfu Lin Xi nodded as if he understood.
The old man in gray clothes looked at Huangfu Lin Xi and suddenly said: "If my guess is correct, you will be leaving Qinan City in the near future, right?"
"Huh?" Huangfu Lin Xi looked at the old man in gray in surprise, not expecting him to guess what he was thinking.
"Yes, this junior will leave Qinan City after handling some matters."
The old man in gray nodded.
"Well, if you want to do what you want to do, you can't achieve it just in Qinan City. The outside world is where you should go. However, you'd better be right about today's matter.
Your father has made it clear that I think he will not stop you."
