“Patriarch Lin, now Dongxiang County is leaderless. With your Lin family’s influence, I think this is the perfect time to control the entire Dongxiang County.”
Chen Ping said to Patriarch Lin!
Patriarch Lin was silent for a moment and did not say anything. Instead, he slowly said, “Now that my soul has just recovered, I want to rest more!”
“Father, let me help you to rest…”
Lin Yun’er supported Patriarch Lin, then looked at Chen Ping and Hu Mazi: “Fellow Daoist Chen, Master Hu, please excuse us for the moment…”
“Miss Lin, please carry on…” Chen Ping nodded!
But Lin Yun’er had only helped her father walk two steps when she turned back to Hu Mazi and said, “Master Hu, those two maids could not hold out any longer. I have replaced them with two new ones. This time, I hope Master Hu can show some mercy to the fairer sex!”
Hu Mazi’s face reddened. He hurriedly nodded and said, “Good, good, good…”
Lin Yun’er helped her father into the room. Chen Ping and Hu Mazi also returned to their respective rooms.
“Yun’er, what do you think of this Chen Ping?”
Once inside the room, Patriarch Lin asked his daughter with a serious expression.
Lin Yun’er was stunned for a moment, then said, “I think he is quite good. He is kind-hearted, handsome, and most importantly, he is strong. He killed the Sixth Hall Master and the people from the Evil Dao Hall. The County Princess could not even last one round against him.”
Seeing his daughter evaluate Chen Ping so highly, Patriarch Lin looked her up and down and said, “How did you meet? Have you slept with that Chen Ping?”
“Father, what are you saying? How could your daughter be such a promiscuous woman?” Lin Yun’er’s face flushed red. She then continued, “I was held hostage by two people from the Six Halls, and those two intended to defile me. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Chen and Master Hu passed by and saved me.”
“But… but…”
“But what?” Patriarch Lin pressed.
“But at that time, my clothes had all been stripped off. Fellow Daoist Chen must have seen my entire body…”
Lin Yun’er said, her face red.
“That does not count for anything!” Upon hearing this, Patriarch Lin shook his head gently. Then, with a profound gaze, he looked out the window and said, “This Chen Ping is actually not as good as you think. This fellow, with the cultivation of the Earth Immortal realm, managed to slay the Sixth Hall Master and Xue Wuying. He is absolutely no simple character.”
“Moreover, although my soul was absorbed by the Six Halls, in the end, it was absorbed and refined by this Chen Ping.”
“Ah?” Lin Yun’er was stunned, her face full of confusion. “Father, what is this about?”
Patriarch Lin had no choice but to recount the events at the altar lecture exactly as they happened.
Now that his soul had returned to its place, Patriarch Lin had actually remembered everything. He had not shown it in front of Chen Ping earlier because he knew Chen Ping’s capabilities. He feared that if Chen Ping took it to heart and decided to kill, the entire Lin family would be finished.
Even the County Princess of Dongxiang County, the Sixth Hall Master, and Xue Wuying were no match for Chen Ping. What could their Lin family amount to?
“How could this be?” Lin Yun’er was completely dazed, looking at her father in disbelief. It took her a good while to recover and say, “I will go ask Fellow Daoist Chen. Why did he deceive me?”
“Yun’er, do not go…” Patriarch Lin stopped Lin Yun’er.
“Father, since Fellow Daoist Chen absorbed your soul, why could he still release it?”
Lin Yun’er thought of something and asked her father.
“I am not clear on what method he used, but I have indeed recovered now.”
“Moreover, in that situation at the time, he had already warned us, but we were all deceived. In the end, our souls were absorbed, which can be considered our just deserts. We cannot blame Chen Ping for that.”
Patriarch Lin feared that Lin Yun’er would go confront Chen Ping again, so he said this.
