"Lin Xi, my good nephew! I really can't believe you are coming to see your uncle. Come in quickly!"
Lin Xi followed the servant who opened the door through a rockery garden and saw the familiar figure in the hall.
Nicholas had already smiled on his strong face. While calling Lin Xi's name excitedly, he came out of the hall and put his hand on Lin Xi's shoulder affectionately.
"Hello, Uncle Nicholas." Seeing the warm and kind uncle, Lin Xi seemed to have found a support, and couldn't help but feel sore in his nose and was about to cry.
As soon as he saw Lin Xi's expression, Nicholas immediately realized something was wrong. After looking behind him, he did not find that the elder brother he had always cared about, and a strange feeling soon arose in Nicholas's heart.
"Linxi, where is my brother Bird?" Nicholas asked in a hurry without caring about his well-being.
"Uncle Nicholas." Lin Xi could no longer control himself and cried out "wow".
In one day, who will tell me about this sadness? Even after Chris and Zger's guidance, Lin Xi is no longer so sad on the surface, but deep down, this has not happened.
How could a fifteen-year-old boy with rain, snow, wind and frost really close the sadness and the deep hatred?
Now that I saw the familiar Uncle Nicholas, Lin Xi's sad door no longer wanted to close, and his sadness was like a flood that broke out, and it was out of control when it rushed out.
"Child, what's wrong? Don't cry first, tell me what happened?" Nicholas hugged Lin Xi and patted Lin Xi's back gently. Although his voice was soft, he showed anxiety everywhere.
Nicholas is now like an ant on a hot pan, eager to know what happened to the elder brother he cared about the most.
When Lin Xi heard his uncle's words, he raised his head, his blue eyes filled with tears, "Uncle, my father, my father is gone!"
It was like a bolt from the blue that thrust hard on his heart. Nicholas felt dizzy in his mind. After shaking and barely standing still, Nicholas's eyes were filled with tears and asked sadly: "Lin Xi, what you said
Is it true? Brother is really... really dead?"
Lin Xi nodded in great pain. After enduring the grief, Lin Xi told the story in this hall.
The whole process was extremely difficult. Not only did Lin Xi endure great grief, but Nicholas also couldn't control himself at all times. He was in pain several times and was in tears.
This passionate man who has been accustomed to fighting on the battlefield all his life and has seen countless scenes of life and death separation, but this time he cannot keep his heart, which has the steel will of a soldier, calmed down. He didn't even want to believe it
real.
After a long time, both of them lowered their heads in pain, letting tears flow quietly, and tears were scratched on their faces. In a short while, Nicholas really couldn't accept the mighty and fierce person who treated him as his relative.
The man, the man whom he sincerely calls the eldest brother, left silently and separated from his eternal heaven!
"Lin Xi, what have you done with the bodies of the elder brother and the other two?" Nicholas rubbed his big hands covered with calluses unconsciously and said slowly.
"I have cremated. I have placed the ashes in the stable place of the manor."
"Hey!" Nicholas sighed dejectedly, "I didn't expect my elder brother to leave so suddenly. I can't even see him for the last time. This will be a pain for my whole life!"
After sighing, Nicholas suddenly changed his tone and said in anger: "Linxi, do you know what those bastards look like? Is there any news about them?"
Nicholas' square face became a little distorted by anger, and his coppery skin was tense, as if fire could emerge from every pore.
"I don't know, the two kind-hearted people who saved me didn't see it. My father didn't say much when he was dying. He just said that there were eight murderers, and the leader was an old man in black."
Nicholas clenched his fists and stood up from the seat with a "whoa". "His grandma, these beasts! Find it out, I have to twist their heads one by one and put them in front of the eldest brother's spiritual position!"
"I will let them get retribution. Uncle, do you know who the family usually has a grudge against?" Lin Xi changed the subject and asked Nicholas. Now he refused to miss any opportunity to learn about the news about the enemy.
Nicholas shook his head and replied, "Brother has never been willing to tell me about your Yuk family's affairs, so as not to drag me into it. Three years ago, you lived well in the imperial capital but suddenly decided to move your family away.
I have asked my elder brother several times, but my elder brother is still like that and will never reveal any relevant information to me. I think the tragic disaster this time should be related to being forced to move away three years ago. Now that I think about it, I really regret death
, I also hated myself, why didn't I ask the bottom line and investigate it? After you settled down in Jiexi City, I didn't take this matter too much, but continued to live in the army. I, I
What a bastard!"
Speaking of this, Nicholas was full of self-blame and regret.
"Uncle Nicholas, don't blame yourself like this. We all know your kindness to us. Otherwise, my father wouldn't have asked me to surrender to you when he died."
Nicholas's expression was a little slow, but when he heard the word "refuge", Nicholas's expression changed drastically.
"What does it mean to surrender? Lin Xi, you must not think so. Did I receive less favor from my elder brother back then? Even the bad life on me is my elder brother! Now that my elder brother is gone, his only son can
I am already very happy to think of my uncle. Lin Xi, if you don’t mind, just treat this place as your new home. I won’t say anything sensational, but I still know how to be grateful, let alone you are the eldest brother’s son.
”
"Thank you uncle." Lin Xi said gratefully. Since the lonely and painful heart has begun to warm up slowly since it came here.
"Butler Monroe, come in."
An old man dressed in exquisite clothes and solemn expressions answered and entered the hall.
"From today, Lin Xi will be the young master in the mansion. You will call him Young Master Lin Xi in the future."
Monroe nodded slightly, nodded and said yes. Then he bent down and bowed to Lin Xi, and said respectfully: "Hello, Master Lin Xi. If the young master has any needs in the future, just give Monroe instructions."
Lin Xi stood up quickly and said almost at a loss: "Butler Monroe, please don't say that." Seeing Monroe's polite behavior, Lin Xi, who had not lived in a noble life, was very uncomfortable.
Monroe smiled and said respectfully: "Master Linxi, this is the rule that we must abide by as servants. Master, Master, if nothing else, Monroe will go out to tidy up the room for Master Linxi."
After Monroe withdrew, Nicholas said: "Linxi, please relax and have a good sleep first. You should be very tired when running along the way. As for what happened later, let's find some time to discuss it."
"Thank you, Uncle Nicholas."
Nicholas sent Lin Xi out and asked a servant to lead the way for Lin Xi, then turned around and returned to the hall.
The hall was empty, and Nicholas was the only one left.
Nicholas sat down in the seat with his hands on his head, and his mood seemed very depressed.
"Brother, why did you insist on leaving? Stay in Noqi City, at least we have some care for each other! You should know that I, Nicholas, are not afraid of death at all. If you can deal with those bastards with you, even if
I'm happy to die. But now you left alone, I, I feel heartbroken!"
Nicholas lowered his head, with deep sadness in his voice.
It took a while before Nicholas raised his head again and his hands stopped supporting him, "Since I am still alive, I should do more for my elder brother's children, and it will not be in vain for my elder brother's kindness to me. Lin Xi,
You can live here with peace of mind. I must try my best to protect you and let you live safely so that you will not be discontinued from the incense of the Yuke family, and live up to my good intentions that my brother has entrusted you to me."
Although Nicholas is a soldier, big and thick, and does not like to make a few tricks in his stomach, it can only be said that Nicholas hates hypocrisy and pretends to be stupid, which does not mean that he does not understand the truth and does not know how to think about problems.
The conversation with Lin Xi just now has already made Nicholas know something from it.
Nicholas is sure that his enemy is aimed at Lin Xi's mother, an elf woman. If he hadn't had a deep holiday with Shirley's sister-in-law, who would have not even left the chance to let the dead elf woman rest in peace, and he had to give her
The crystal coffin disappeared?
Secondly, others may not know the strength of Bird and Jikato, but they know quite well. Bird is a mid-level 7th-level thunder and lightning warrior, and the old man who seems to be inconspicuous and dressed as a servant is even more so.
A powerful eighth-level mid-stage thunder and lightning warrior. Even in the entire Yaning continent, it is among the strongest warriors. Such terrifying strength is even the northern part of the famous empire where he is located.
The legion could never find three people to match!
But these two people had no power to fight back in front of the eight people, and were forced to choose to use a tragic way of self-destruction in the Dantian to maintain the dignity of a warrior!
Nicholas not only never heard of the other party's strength, but he even dared not imagine it!
If Lin Xi was involved in revenge too early, and the eight people found out that they were not Lin Xi himself, but Renner, who was willing to die on behalf of Lin Xi, what would happen next?
Nicholas knows better than anyone else.
So the most important thing now is to protect Lin Xi's safety so that Lin Xi can grow up safely. As for the matter of avenging his family and revenge for his family in the future, you must wait until Lin Xi has enough strength before you can do it.
After confirming what he was thinking, the door of the hall happened to be knocked. Nicholas pulled the door and said to Monroe, "Did Linxi sleep?"
"Yes, Master Lin Xi was probably tired all the way. After the room was tidying up, he lay on the bed with his clothes. After a while, he fell asleep. When the old slave saw that the young master was sleeping very deeply, he didn't even
If you dare to disturb me, you will close the door."
Nicholas nodded, "Okay, let Linxi sleep more. There has been such a big thing in the Uk family. I'm afraid Linxi is very physically and mentally exhausted recently. Maybe he will feel better after sleeping."
The dinner in the mansion was a little later than usual. After Lin Xi woke up, Nicholas asked the servant to bring out the rich dishes and set up a table.
After dinner, Nicholas and Linxi stayed in the restaurant and continued talking.
