C1568 Unendurable Weight

Although the danger was still present, the atmosphere in the courtyard was no longer tense. Instead, it was filled with joy and relief.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Bai as he slowly walked in from outside the door. The air was extremely silent, but the urgency was different from before, it was pure nervousness, the kind of nervousness that was afraid of hope turning into foam that would burst with the wind, and the kind of nervousness that would disappear in the blink of an eye, just like in the past.

"Grand Preceptor, Grand Preceptor, your father is back!" The adults were nervous, but how could naive children understand so much. When they saw the adults all staring at Lin Bai, Little Jingxing and Lizhen impatiently took it off Lin Bai and then jumped into Old Man Liu's embrace, lying on Old Man Liu's lap.

During the year that Lin Bai disappeared, when Xia Xiaoqing and He Jia Er went to various places to search for Lin Bai, the two little fellows were personally led by Old Master Liu and Old Granny. During the year that Lin Bai disappeared, when Xia Xiaoqing and He Jia Er went to various places to search for Lin Bai, the two little fellows were personally brought by Old Man Liu and Old Granny.

Old Man Liu first revealed a warm and benevolent smile when he heard these words, extending his hand to stroke the two little fellows' heads. Then, he slowly turned his head to look at Lin Bai. The emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated. There was guilt, gratification, and reproach, but most of all, pride, an unrestrained pride that came from the bottom of his heart!

This kind of proud gaze had never appeared on anyone in the Liu family. Even when his two sons had become generals in charge of military affairs, there had never been a gaze filled with pride like this in the eyes of the old man.

But even so, no one felt that Old Master Liu's actions were biased. This was because not only was it Old Master Liu, all those who had once interacted with Lin Bai and were treated as family and friends by him, from start to finish, viewed Lin Bai as their pride.

Because no one had ever done so many things like Lin Bai. Not to mention the life-and-death rescue by Fan Yu; not to mention the hundred thousand ghosts crying in Jinling City; not to mention the poisonous bugs in the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, just Lin Bai alone had risked his life to seal the immortal gate and had risked his life to gain a chance at survival for the people in the world. It was enough for those who loved him to feel proud of his existence, to feel unreserved and unrestrained pride in his existence.

"Grandfather, I'm back." After a long period of silence, Lin Bai bowed to the old man with a slightly trembling voice. Although it had only been a short year, Lin Bai could clearly see that this old man had clearly aged quite a bit. Although time had always been ruthless, no matter the so-called heroes, or the so-called tyrants, in the end, it was hard for them to escape from the calamity of being defeated by the hands of time.

However, Lin Bai understood that Old Man Liu's aging was not because of his body. With the health effects of the Taishang and the Four Seasons Garden's vitality, he could definitely ensure that the elderly's body was as healthy as it was in the past. There was only one reason why the old man was so old. It was because in the days that he was gone, the old man's body and mind had suffered too much.

"It's good that you're back. Have you eaten?" When Old Man Liu heard these words, although he appeared rather agitated on the surface, the myriad of words that were on the tip of his tongue turned into the simplest and simplest question. It was as though in this year, Lin Bai had never left.

"I left a bit too quickly, I haven't eaten yet …" Lin Bai scratched his head embarrassedly. He, He Jia Ruidao and the other girls had been planning to return home as fast as they could. They didn't even have time to eat, their stomachs were growling with hunger.

Old Man Liu smiled and shook his head, then shot a glance at the women at home, indicating that they should gather up some food and fill Lin Bai's stomach. Lin Bai's appetite was well-known. Even though he was surrounded by danger, the saying was that the emperor was not lacking in soldiers. If he didn't allow this fellow to fill his stomach, how could he have the strength to deal with those scumbags later?

Lin Bai couldn't help but snicker when he saw Old Man Liu's expression. It had to be said that the person who understood him the best was his family. No one will care about your hunger or your warmth except your family.

"Junior apprentice-brother …" At this moment, Zhang Sanming, who was originally hiding behind the crowd, suddenly spoke out with a trembling voice, as if his heart was filled with anxiety. Even at this moment, he still could not believe that Lin Bai had appeared.

As soon as Zhang SanKuang finished his sentence, the entire arena fell silent and everyone's faces revealed a dejected look. Regardless of who it was, everyone knew that the next scene would be the hardest one for Lin Bai after he returned.

"Senior?!" Ever since the death of Li Tianyuan and the death of the other members of the Celestial Sect, there had only been two people left, Zhang Sanmeng and Li Tianxiang, holding onto each other. Furthermore, on the journey here, the two of them had intersected with their lives and had experienced countless things, such as licking blood from their wounds. It could be said that Lin Bai's excitement at seeing Zhang SanKuang was no less than that of a few women.

However, just when he was feeling perturbed, he slowly focused his gaze on Zhang Sanming's face, the happiness on Lin Bai's face immediately disappeared, and his expression instantly darkened to the point that it looked as if it was about to drip down. Along his body, a biting cold killing intent was emitted from him, and he stared at Zhang Sanming, saying in a deep voice, "Senior Brother, what's going on with your eyes? Was it made by those petty noobs? "

"I'm fine …" Zhang SanKuang heard Lin Bai and groped his way to Lin Bai's side, tightly holding Lin Bai's hand. He pretended to be indifferent as he smiled and said, "It wasn't done by anyone, but rather I accidentally made it blind. But it's good that I'm blind, but it's better that I can see a lot of things that I couldn't see before, except that I can't see you anymore."

"Did he blind himself? What exactly is going on? " Upon hearing Zhang SanKuang's words, Lin Bai's heart was filled with doubts as he questioned him. His gaze was locked onto He Jia Ruidao and the other girls. Back at Miao stronghold, the girls had said that everything was fine in Beijing and everyone was fine. However, when he returned, they realized that he was actually blind?!

Seeing Lin Bai's gaze, which almost made them want to devour him, the girls couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look him in the eye. They had already expected that Lin Bai would react in this way after he found out about this, which was why they had purposely concealed it when they were in Miao stronghold.

"Senior Brother San Kuang was trying to find out your whereabouts, and for the past year, he had been constantly analyzing the Heavenly Secrets. His calculations were too fierce, and he was constantly being devoured by the world, which was why he got blinded." Hearing Lin Bai's words, Shen Lingfeng sighed softly.

"What's the point of saying all this? It's still that I'm not good at everything. If I could be like my junior brother, how could I be afraid of the backlash from the heaven and earth?" Zhang Sanming smiled in ridicule, waved his hand and said proudly, "And even though I am blind, I have opened my mind. Since everything was out of his sight, his heart naturally calmed down. As soon as his heart calmed down, his cultivation base would rise. "Speaking of which, I still made a profit."

"Senior apprentice-brother …" Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai could not help but burst into tears as he looked at Zhang Sanming, whose eyes were sunken in and out like two black holes on his face. He really did not expect that his year of disappearance would cause his family to suffer so much, would cause them to suffer from such a great calamity, and even to the point of deducing his whereabouts, Zhang Sanmad did not hesitate to bear the risk of the backlash from the heaven and earth, to the point of blinding his eyes. How could Lin Bai face such a favor?

Although Zhang Sanming had always had a strange temperament, and he often acted in a cynical and playful manner, but only Lin Bai knew clearly that his senior brother was actually still protecting him in his heart. He also valued many things that had already been abandoned by the world.

"Youngest junior brother, it's just a small matter like this. You don't have to take it to heart …" He patted Lin Bai on the shoulder and said with a hearty laugh, "Which one of us is with, master is gone, we're only left with each other. Today, it's you, but if it's me another day, you would definitely do the same thing I do."

"Senior brother, I swear, I, Lin Bai, will do my best to restore your sight and allow you to see the light again! "If I cannot do this, then I, Lin Bai, will not be a human!" Without any hesitation, Lin Bai wiped away the tears on his face and knelt down in front of Zhang Sanmang, enunciating every word solemnly.

"Hurry and get up …" Hearing Lin Bai's voice, Zhang Sanmeng hurriedly reached out his hand to help Lin Bai, muttering to himself, "Senior brother, I believe you definitely have the ability to make me see the light of day again. As long as you're back, it's fine! "

"What kind of hero do I think the famous Lin Bai is? So he is just someone who dares to talk big. Miss Xiao must have been blind to pick you." At this moment, Old Freak twitched his mouth and spoke with slight disdain.

Upon seeing the Liu Clan receiving the news that Lin Bai had returned, each and every one of them went wild with joy. Old Freak was extremely curious about Lin Bai, he wanted to see what capabilities Lin Bai possessed that would allow them to trust him so much.

But when Lin Bai appeared in the courtyard, he really couldn't see anything special about Lin Bai. His appearance was no different from an ordinary person's and he did not have the heroic spirit of the legends.

Especially when Lin Bai promised Zhang Sanmeng to see the light of day again, it made Old Freak Tu feel even more amused. Imagine what sort of thing the rebound of the heaven and earth was. If one was cursed by the backlash of the heaven and earth, how could their blind eyes recover so easily? To him, Lin Bai's words were just a meaningless empty cheque. In fact, in his heart, he was secretly thinking for Zhang Sanming that it wasn't worth it. He had paid so much, but had only received a short promise, and was unable to make use of it.

"Heaven?" After sweeping a glance in the direction of the Feng Earth Monster, Lin Bai's eyes revealed a tinge of hostility. He then stared at old man Tu and said: "On what grounds are you saying that my words are empty, and have no meaning at all?"

"Even a blind person wants to regain his sight. If you aren't talking nonsense, then what are you?" Old Demon Tu laughed involuntarily. Then, his words shivered and with a playful expression, he said, "If you really can make this old blind man's eyes recover, then I'll immediately kowtow three times to you!"
