"Linglong?" Hearing Lin Minghua's words, Fang Jin's brows furrowed imperceptibly.

He had only been a cultivator for a short period of time. Naturally, he had no understanding of the Exquisite Jade that Lin Minghua had mentioned.

Compared to Fang Jin, Lin Wan'er had obviously heard of the name Linglong before. Hearing Lin Minghua's words, Lin Wan'er's expression changed. She looked at her father and asked, "Linglong? Is that the piece of jade in the temple? "

"Correct, that piece of jade." Lin Minghua nodded, his expression becoming solemn. He slowly opened his mouth and explained, "That Exquisite Jade was left behind by our Ling Nan Lin Clan's ancestor. It is said that there are some secrets hidden within. As for what it is, no one knows. "

"For so many years, our Lin Family has been waiting for this piece of Exquisite Jade, hoping that one day we will be able to unravel the secret on this piece of jade. Right now, there is only one possibility for those people to come to us, and that is for Linglong Jade. Other than this, I truly can't think of anything else that our Lin Family has that would cause strangers to covet it. "

Lin Minghua told Fang Jin and Lin Wan'er all the conjectures in his mind. Hearing Lin Minghua's words, Fang Jin and Lin Wan'er looked at each other, frowning.

After pondering for a few seconds, Fang Jin said, "Uncle Lin, since those people are here for Linglong Jade, why are they near your house? "Lin Wan'er said before that Linglong Jade is in this so-called temple. Could it be that this temple is in your house?"

"Not really." Lin Minghua shook his head and said, "That temple is where the ancestral tablets of the ancestors of our neighboring families are placed. It's not here, but rather on top of a tall mountain."

Hearing this, Fang Jin suddenly recalled that when he came here, he had seen an incomparably towering mountain. Presumably, this was the place where the Exquisite Jade was stored.

Breathing in lightly, Lin Minghua continued to explain, "That mountain was arranged by cultivators. Without the Lin Family's guidance, it would have been impossible for an ordinary person to enter that temple. Therefore, I believe that those strangers who suddenly appeared in the vicinity were trying to coerce our Lin Family members to enter that temple and obtain the Exquisite Jade Pendant. "

"So that's how it is." Fang Jin frowned and started to ponder. After a while, Fang Jin raised her head and looked at Lin Minghua. She said softly, "Uncle Lin, may I ask how many members of the Lin Family are currently? I'm afraid those strangers will act against the others. "

Naturally, Fang Jin was worried about this as well. After all, he had already promised Lin Wan'er that he would help her to the end. Otherwise, why would he promise Lin Wan'er to come here?

Lin Minghua shook his head and explained, "I think you misunderstood. The Lin Family clansmen that I am referring to are cultivators from the Lin Family, not ordinary Lin Family clansmen. "

After a slight pause, Lin Minghua continued, "Previously, when you entered the village, those villagers could actually be considered to be members of our Ling Nan's Lin Clan. However, those people were just ordinary people. Although they know about the existence of tall mountains, it is impossible for them to enter the temple just by relying on their own strength. So, there is no need to worry about that. "

He pointed to himself and said, "In the entire Lin Family, only two people can be considered to be cultivators. One is me, and the other is Lin Wan'er."

"What about Auntie?" Fang Jin immediately asked.

To be honest, Fang Jin was also feeling a little weird. That was because he hadn't seen Lin Wan'er's mother since he had arrived. This was not a normal thing.

Generally speaking, when a daughter who spent most of her life outside the family suddenly returned, as her parents, they would definitely come out to meet her. Huang Biao had also asked her before, but Lin Wan'er had replied with a perfunctory reply.

Naturally, Fang Jin would not believe Lin Wan'er's perfunctory words. This was precisely the reason why he had asked this question.

Lin Wan'er pursed her lips and said, "My mother has always been on the top of the mountains. The Lin Family must keep someone on the top of the mountains. My mother will always be there to protect them."

"So that's how it is." Fang Jin nodded. If that was the case, then Mother Lin did not need to worry about her safety. After all, Mother Lin was currently in the mountains, and if any strangers wanted to climb the mountains, they would have to rely on Lin Minghua or Lin Wan'er.

"Since that's the case, Uncle Lin and Lin Wan'er, you must be careful." Their target will most likely be you. " Fang Jin's expression became extremely serious. Her gaze swept across Lin Wan'er and Lin Minghua as she spoke in a low voice.

Hearing Fang Jin's words, Lin Wan'er and Lin Minghua couldn't help but look at each other. Lin Minghua nodded and said in a deep voice, "Of course we know this. "In fact, if I had thought about it this way, I wouldn't have wanted Lin Wan'er to come back at all."

As he said this, Lin Minghua couldn't help but sigh. Obviously, he felt somewhat helpless. He shook his head and said, "But now that Wan-Er is back, it doesn't matter anymore. Right now, what you need to do is to protect yourselves and think of a way to leave this place. "

"Don't worry dad, this matter will be resolved successfully." Lin Wan'er pursed her lips and said softly. She was a smart girl, so it was obvious that her father was worried about her safety.

The corner of Lin Minghua's mouth twitched with some difficulty, but he didn't say anything on the whole issue. Lin Wan'er was not present before, so she didn't see those strangers. However, Lin Minghua was different. He could feel that the strength of these strangers was extremely strong.

Having seen the power of these strangers, he wondered how Lin Minghua could possibly have any luck in his heart.

Fang Jin did not know what Lin Minghua was thinking at the moment, so he did not say anything. After all, he was just an outsider. Regarding the matters of the Lin Family, as well as the so-called Linglong Jade Pendant, he was not familiar with it and could not express any opinions.

"Alright, I won't say anything else. You guys have just returned, so you must be tired as well, right?" "Let's not talk about it today, let's rest early. I've already prepared the room." Lin Minghua quickly buried this matter deep within his heart. He changed the topic, looking at Lin Wan'er and Fang Jin as he spoke.

Naturally, Fang Jin would not reject anything. It wasn't that he was tired, but that he wanted to give Lin Wan'er and Lin Minghua some space.

No matter what, he was an outsider. They had not seen each other for a long time, so they must have a lot of things to discuss. With him present, it naturally seemed a bit superfluous and awkward.

Under Lin Minghua's lead, Fang Jin quickly arrived at a room. The furnishings of this room were extremely simple. There was only a bed, a few stools and a table.

However, Fang Jin wasn't dissatisfied. For him, having a place to sleep was enough.

After Lin Minghua brought Fang Jin to Fang Jin, he did not stay any longer and directly left. After bringing Lin Minghua away, Fang Jin laid on the bed, but she did not sleep. Instead, she called out to Fairy Ling Bo in her mind.

A moment later, the image of Fairy Ling Bo appeared in Fang Jin's mind. However, at this moment, Fairy Ling Bo had a trace of impatience on her face. This really puzzled Fang Jin.

The current body of Fairy Ling Bo? Since it was gone, he naturally couldn't cultivate anymore. But even so, it seemed like Fairy Lingbo had a lot of things to do. How could she not be puzzled by this?

However, Fang Jin didn't ask too many questions because he knew that even if he did, Fairy Ling Bo wouldn't be able to explain it to him. After all, everyone had their own secrets, and Fairy Ling Bo's temper wasn't particularly good either.

If he angered Fairy Ling Bo, who knew what would happen? Although Fairy Ling Bo no longer had a body, she was still able to teach him a lesson.

"What's the matter?" At this moment, Fairy Ling Bo tightly knitted her brows. Her expression was somewhat unfriendly as she asked in a deep voice.

Fang Jin coughed, cleared her throat, and said, "Fairy Ling Bo, didn't you say that if the Lin Family were in trouble, you'd let me help you? Right now, I'm at Ling Nan Lin's house.

"Huh?" Hearing Fang Jin's words, a hint of surprise flashed across Fairy Ling Bo's face. During this period of time, she had not appeared in Fang Jin's mind, nor had she placed all her attention on Fang Jin. Therefore, she really did not know much about what had happened to Fang Jin.

"Then tell me, just what happened?" At this moment, the impatient expression on Fairy Ling Bo's face had completely disappeared as she looked at Fang Jin and asked indifferently.

Naturally, Fang Jin wouldn't hesitate. If not for Fairy Ling Bo's words, he definitely wouldn't have come here. Even if Lin Wan'er was a great beauty and had personally invited him, Fang Jin would definitely not come.

Thus, upon hearing Fairy Linglong's words, Fang Jin did not hesitate and immediately said, "It's like this. Fairy Linglong, I would like to ask if you know about the Linglong Jade Pendant?"

"Linglong Jade Pendant? "Of course I do." Fairy Ling Bo immediately nodded her head and said with a deep voice, "This is a jade pendant left behind by Ling Nan's ancestors. What, do you have a problem with that?"

"Then do you know the function of this jade pendant?" Fang Jin asked again.

If they knew the purpose of the Linglong Jade Pendant, then they could drug the patient and plan on how to deal with the strangers hiding in the shadows.

However, what disappointed Fang Jin was that upon hearing Fang Jin's words, Fairy Linglong did not hesitate and immediately shook her head, saying, "Although I have heard of the Linglong Jade Pendant and have even seen it with my own eyes, I really do not know what use this jade pendant has."

Pausing slightly, Fairy Ling Bo then continued: "Not only that, none of the cultivators in the Lin Family know anything about the effects of the Exquisite Jade Pendant. However, I once heard a legend that the Linglong Jade Pendant is said to contain a huge secret. If I were to thoroughly understand this secret, then I will definitely be able to leave this world and head towards a higher world. Of course, this is just a legend. As for what it is, no one knows. "

As she said this, Fairy Ling Bo's eyes couldn't help but look over Fang Jin before asking, "From what you're saying, it seems like the trouble that the Lin Clan is in has something to do with the Linglong Jade Pendant?"
