20demayo Chapter 426: Nameless Iron Piece
Chapter 426: Nameless Iron Piece
Lin Mang walked out of the room, set up a soundproof formation, and looked at the other elders in the courtyard. Originally planning to wait for the Third Elder to speak to him, Lin Mang pondered for a moment and decided to speak out the past events that had been pent up in his heart for many years and that had always made him feel guilty about his family.
"The reason why the Lin family was initially plotted against was actually because of Yu'er, the eldest son of Yun'er and me."
After he finished speaking, he knelt down solemnly in the direction of the Lin family ancestral temple. "I, Lin Mang, have let down the family. Over the years..."
The first and third elders lifted him up before he could kneel down completely. The second elder said, "We all know what you are talking about. Do you think you can hide those changes from us old folks?"
Lin Mang was stunned, and then looked at the elders in disbelief: "But why did the family..."
Not far away, the voice of the Lin family's ancestor sounded faintly, "Why not punish you? What have you and your wife done wrong? Anyone from our Lin family would do the same. The matter of Zulong is of great importance and must not be lost."
Lin Mang didn't expect that the ancestor of the Lin family even knew this, and his forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat.
"If you hadn't done that, it would have seemed that our Lin family had handed the burden to the wrong person." The Great Elder shook his head: "Besides, the family owes you the fact that the Patriarch's Phoenix Luck was taken away back then."
The Lin family was implicated and fell into decline because of the incident involving Lin Mang and Yao Yun's eldest son Lin Yu. They were also ruined because of Phoenix Fortune, who failed to protect Lin Mang and Yao Yun's youngest daughter. How can we understand who is sorry to whom?
"Why did the ancestor..." Even knew that Zulong was involved in this matter?
The Lin family patriarch looked at him and said, "Your wife explained the situation to us on the day Yu'er and Yi'er were sent away, and expressed her willingness to bear all the consequences."
Lin Mang moved his lips and finally closed his eyes dejectedly.
The Great Elder finished speaking and slapped Lin Mang on the shoulder, "You old boy, although you are not very courageous, nor tough, and you don't have much ability, but you married a good wife and gave birth to a good daughter."
Seeing that Lin Mang was still in a trance, the third elder said, "Come on, when the current patriarch just came down from Yunding Mountain, didn't we old guys have a bad vision and wanted to suppress your family? In the final analysis, it's all for the consideration of the family. We are a family, why should we care so much?"
Thinking of Lin Yuan and the Seventh Elder of the Lin Family back then, the trance on Lin Mang's face disappeared, and he said seriously: "Let's put it one way. That damn boy dared to plot against my daughter and I still can't forgive him. This is not something that a family can let go of."
Third Elder: "..."
The Lin family patriarch waved his hand and said, "These things have passed. Lin Yuan and Old Seven have also been punished, so we won't mention them anymore. We found you here to tell you something. The Lin family has developed to this point now, all thanks to the head of the family. Lin Mang, now you are an elder, not the head of the family, so even if it's unpleasant for me to say, I have to tell you some things."
The Lin family patriarch lowered his eyes and slowly exhorted, word by word: "I hope you will consider everything for the head of the family. As long as the head of the family is here, the Lin family will be here. In the worst case scenario... everyone in the Lin family can die, but the head of the family must not get into trouble."
Hearing this, Lin Mang was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Zhao Zhao is my daughter. Even if I risk my life, I will not let Zhao Zhao get into trouble in front of me."
"And this thing, we brought it out from the land of the aristocratic families. We don't know what it is. We wanted to give it to the head of the family, but she was still young at the time, so we didn't give it to her. When the time comes, give it to the head of the family." The ancestor of the Lin family took out a rusty piece of iron from his sleeve.
Lin Mang looked at the unremarkable piece of iron with some curiosity for a while and asked, "What is this?"
The Lin family ancestor also shook his head: "I don't know, I only know that this thing has been with the strongest people of the Lin family since the establishment of the Lin family. Now that I am no longer the strongest person in the Lin family, I naturally have to hand it over to a more suitable person."
Lin Mang said: "Although the boy has already broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he is still far inferior to the ancestor..."
After saying that, he remembered that the other party meant for him to give the piece of iron to Lin Zhao?
Lin Zhao?!
His daughter?! Stronger than the ancestor?!
Lin Mang was caught off guard by this information because he had just come out of retreat and arrived at the conference hall. He didn't know Lin Zhao's previous battle record and exact strength. He asked in disbelief, "Ancestor, do you mean Zhao Zhao?"
The Lin family patriarch nodded: "The pressure that girl brings to me now is even stronger than some old monsters who have reached the great perfection of the spirit transformation."
Lin Zhao, the Great Perfection of Transformation of Spirits?
Lin Mang can understand these two words separately, so why can't he understand them when they are put together?
After finally accepting this fact, the elders and ancestors had already explained the matter and left, leaving Lin Mang sitting dejectedly on the doorstep waiting for Lin Zhao to come out.
After Lin Zhao finished drawing the talisman, he saw Lin Mang sitting on the steps, sighing without any dignity of a powerful person in the Spiritualization Stage.
She stepped forward and asked, "Dad, is there anything bothering you?"
Lin Mang turned his head and said, "The elders want Dad to protect you until his death."
Lin Zhao was not surprised by this, but she still didn't understand: "Dad, are you sighing like this just because of this?"
After the initial emotions of father-daughter reunion subsided, Lin Zhao regained some of the casual closeness she had before with Lin Mang.
"Dad, your cultivation has become stronger, but your heart has become more fragile."
Lin Mang glared at her: "How dare you say that to me."
Lin Zhao giggled, and the next moment Lin Mang threw her a patch that looked very worn out.
She quickly continued, observed for a while, and said, "Dad, even if I say something bad to you, you don't have to let me collect the junk, right?"
"What rubbish? This is something that only the strongest person in the history of the Lin family is qualified to keep. The ancestor asked your father to give it to you. You, little girl, have become the strongest without saying a word. Even your father has to watch over you."
As Lin Mang spoke, there was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
As parents, of course we hope that our children can be stronger and better than ourselves.
Lin Zhao looked at the piece of iron carefully for a while. If she didn't know how much Lin Mang loved her, she would really suspect that Lin Mang was deliberately playing a trick on her.
"Master, can you observe any difference?"
Grandma Honghu gave a negative answer: "I can't tell. It feels like an ordinary piece of scrap metal."
The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon did give some information: "There is a familiar aura about this thing, but I can't tell where I have felt it before."
Are you familiar with the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon?
That was what Zulong was familiar with back then.
Something that Zulong is familiar with...it can't be an ordinary item at all. How could it become something of the Lin family?
