C75 The Secret of the past
After adjusting their breathing, Lin Xiao and the others hired a carriage and rushed back to Jiangxia City without stopping.
"City Lord is back!"
"Greetings, City Lord!"
...
While Lin Xiao was leaving, Mu Ziliang had taken care of the Jiangxia City in an orderly manner. At the same time, he had spread Lin Xiao's glorious deeds among the people of Jiangxia City, causing the respect of the people in Jiangxia City to increase day by day. When they saw Lin Xiao's return, they were all very excited.
Lin Xiao greeted the people one by one before returning to City Lord's Mansion.
Lin Yuntian and Da Ji were already waiting outside Lin Xiao's home. When Da Ji saw Lin Xiao, Da Ji jumped into his arms and said with a coquettish voice, "You finally came back. I thought you didn't want me anymore."
"I won't abandon you."
Lin Xiao reached out and touched Da Ji's face. He looked at her slightly red eyes and felt pity for her. He pulled her into his arms.
Da Ji gently leaned into Lin Xiao's arms. She felt the warmth of his chest and took a deep breath before reluctantly standing up.
"Let's go. Let's talk inside the mansion."
Lin Xiao looked at Lin Yuntian and Da Ji and suggested.
Lin Yuntian nodded and walked in front. Da Ji held Lin Xiao's arm and followed behind.
When they reached the main hall of the prefecture, Lin Yuntian reached out his hand to hold Lin Xiao's shoulder and said with an excited expression, "You have really grown up! I heard that you have shown off your skills in Ancient Secret Realm. Even the Elites Ranks on the Elites Rank are no match for you!"
"It's just luck."
Lin Xiao replied very modestly.
"Very good, you know how to be modest!"
Lin Yuntian nodded his head in satisfaction. He looked at Lin Xiao and sighed. He said, "However, it is a good thing that you have extraordinary talent. Sometimes, you also need to know how to hide your talent. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will bring a disaster upon yourself. Do you understand? "
"I understand."
Although Lin Xiao wasn't afraid of a huge disaster, in order to make Lin Yuntian feel at ease, Lin Xiao obediently nodded his head and agreed.
Seeing Lin Xiao being so outstanding and sensible, Lin Yuntian felt gratified, but at the same time, he thought of the past, and couldn't help but ask: "I heard that you met Holy Maiden from Taiwu Mountain this time?"
"Yes."
Lin Xiao wanted to ask about this, but he did not expect his father to take the initiative to ask about it. He could not help but ask, "Speaking of Taiwu Mountain, I have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
Lin Yuntian's expression was a little unnatural, but he still asked with a smile.
Seeing Lin Yuntian's reaction, Lin Xiao was even more certain that his mother must be related to Taiwu Mountain. Thinking of this, he asked, "What is it?" Is my mother still alive? "She is on Taiwu Mountain, right?"
"How did you know?"
Lin Yuntian did not expect Lin Xiao to ask such a question directly. He could not help but feel a little surprised. He sighed and nodded to admit, "Yes, your mother is indeed not dead. She is on Taiwu Mountain, and she is the previous Holy Maiden Situ Xiu of Taiwu Mountain."
"What!"
Lin Xiao couldn't believe what he had heard.
He thought his mother was just an ordinary disciple of Taiwu Mountain, but Lin Xiao did not expect his mother to be the daughter of Sect Leader of Taiwu Mountain, and she was the previous Holy Maiden of Taiwu Mountain!1
It was just that over all these years, why had she never come to visit her father and him?
As if he could read Lin Xiao's thoughts, Lin Yuntian sighed and said, "Don't blame your mother. It's because I'm useless. I'm not good enough for her."
"What is going on?"
Lin Xiao frowned even more when he heard that.
Seeing Lin Xiao asking, Lin Yuntian sighed deeply and said, "Forget it. You have grown up. You have the right to know everything that happened back then."
From Lin Yuntian's description, Lin Xiao knew that Lin Yuntian was the Young Lord of the Lin family. At the same time, he was also a proud disciple of the Gray Cloud Sect. He had a great reputation.
Due to his outstanding family background, his cultivation was somewhat lax. Fortunately, his talent was not bad, so when he was twenty years old, he had broken through to the Golden Core stage, and had a high chance of becoming a Nascent Infant warrior.
However, the unforeseen event happened when he was twenty years old!
That year, when he left the sect and went out to explore, he accidentally got to know Lin Xiao's mother, Situ Xiu. The two of them fell in love at first sight, and soon fell in love. Very soon, Situ Xiu became pregnant.
In order to justify Lin Xiao's birth, Lin Yuntian brought Situ Xiu back to the capital city. He wanted his father to go to Taiwu Mountain for him and tell others about this marriage. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the capital city, he found out that the prosperous Lin family had disappeared into thin air. The hundreds of people in the prefecture had all disappeared.
No one knew what had happened.
Lin Yuntian had gone crazy to inquire about the Lin family, but he couldn't find anything. Instead, he had brought trouble to himself and Situ Xiu!
In order to avoid being hunted down, Lin Yuntian hid in the Gray Cloud Sect, but because of Faang Xianlong's betrayal, he lost Master's love and was almost expelled from the sect.
At this moment, Lin Xiao's mother Situ Xiu also disappeared, leaving only Lin Xiao, who had just been born.
Lin Yuntian had been searching everywhere for Situ Xiu. He had found out that Situ Xiu had returned to Taiwu Mountain, and that she had an engagement with the Elder's son. This had made him lose all hope, and he had almost chosen to end his own life.
In the end, it was Lin Xiao's crying that made him regain his rationality.
For Lin Xiao, Lin Yuntian hid his identity as a descendant of Lin family. He even changed the original Lin Yunzhi to Lin Yuntian and returned to Jiangxia City, becoming City Lord of Jiangxia City.
After listening to all of this, Although Lin Xiao sympathized with his father, he still said, "As far as I know, mother didn't get married again. Mu Qing told me that mother looked at your portrait every day. It seems that she would never betray father!"
"What did you say?"
When Lin Yuntian heard this, he looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief.
When Situ Xiu left, he had lost all hope. All these years, he did not even dare to inquire about her. He had always thought that she lived a happy life and had long forgotten about him and Lin Xiao. But now, Lin Xiao told him that Situ Xiu did not get married again and missed him every day.
"I said that mother did not remarry and never forgot about you."
Lin Xiao looked into Lin Yuntian's eyes and said with certainty, "There must be some misunderstanding in this. I have to go to Taiwu Mountain to find out about this!"
"Don't be impulsive! The Taiwu Mountain is a famous sect in the Jiangcuo County. Your strength is not enough to shake the Taiwu Mountain!"
Although Lin Yuntian also wanted to go to Taiwu Mountain to find out about this matter, at this moment, he was more concerned about Lin Xiao's safety. He believed that if what Lin Xiao said was true, Situ Xiu would always remember them, and she would not want Lin Xiao to take the risk for her.
No matter what, he couldn't let Lin Xiao take the risk himself!
