C12 Contract

When everyone had left, Lin Xiu was brought to the family meeting room alone.

As soon as he entered the main entrance, the clansmen who brought him here withdrew. Looking at Lin Wentian, who had his back to him, Lin Xiu was shocked to find out that the current Sect Leader of Lin Family, who was the most powerful and powerful person, had such a desolate back.

Turning around, Lin Wentian looked at Lin Xiu with love and a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He waved at Lin Xiu and gestured him to come forward. Lin Wentian looked at his grandson who was taller than him and sighed. "Lin Xiu, come over here and let grandpa have a good look."

Although Lin Xiu disliked this grandpa who had never helped his family, he still walked forward obediently for the sake of the 100-year-old Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng.

Noticing Lin Xiu's expression, Lin Wentian knew that his grandson still had some grudges against him.

Lin Wentian felt a wave of loneliness for no reason. His son was injured and had yet to recover. Even his newly emerged grandson was unhappy with him. Was it really that difficult to get a family to enjoy themselves?

"All these years, your family has suffered." Lin Wentian looked at his grandson gently.

However, Lin Xiu did not have any reaction when he heard this. Since you are my grandpa, why did you ignore us father and son all these years!

Lin Wentian didn't explain anymore as he seemed to have understood Lin Xiu's thoughts. He just said something inexplicable. "Lin Xiu, no matter what, you must remember that only the family will never harm you."

Without waiting for Lin Xiu to react, Lin Wentian continued, "You want this hundred year old Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng?"

Ye Zichen nodded seriously, revealing Lin Xiu's attitude.

Lin Wentian felt sad again when he saw Lin Xiu's expression.

"For your father?"

Lin Wentian adjusted his mood with the fastest speed possible and said sternly: "The Hundred Year Old Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng is the clan's most precious treasure. It is not only beneficial to the cultivation of Blood Refining Stage, even some people with Spirit Fusion Stage also need it."

Hearing Lin Wentian's words, Lin Xiu frowned. He already knew that even if he obtained the first place in the Family Competition, it would be very difficult to get this 100-year-old Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng. However, Lin Wentian didn't reject him directly, meaning that there was still room for manoeuvre.

Therefore, Lin Xiu held on to his injured body and bowed to Lin Wentian in front of him, "Patriarch, please grant this request."

Sighing, Lin Wentian, who acknowledged that he owed the father and son pair a lot, finally stopped rejecting them upon seeing Lin Xiu's behavior.

"As long as you can successfully advance your cultivation and enter the Guiyuan Sect in one month's time, this hundred year old Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng will be yours."

Although Lin Wentian was the Patriarch of Lin Family, a hundred year old Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng still belonged to the background of the clan. He couldn't easily determine it all by himself, but as long as Lin Xiu could join the Guiyuan Sect, then it would be impossible for the rest of the clan to say anything.

After receiving Lin Wentian's reply, Lin Xiu's eyes burned with passion. He had to obtain the hundred year Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng, and for this reason, he had to successfully join the Guiyuan Sect.

After helping Lin Xiu up, Lin Wentian gave Lin Xiu two bottles of Pill, three bottles of Spirit Elixir and one bottle of Bone Tempering Powder.

Ling Dan could help Lin Xiu quickly accumulate soul force, whether it was for the City Lord Palace's Selection one month later or the bet to break into the Bone Quenching Stage two months later, Lin Xiu desperately needed this kind of Pill, and with his wealth, this Pill that could easily earn hundreds of gold coins on the market was not something he could afford to squander.

As for the other bottle of Bone Tempering Powder, although it couldn't compare to the Bone Tempering Pill, it was still a very valuable item. Its effect was to assist the practitioner in breaking through the Bone Quenching Stage when they reached the peak of the Blood Refining Stage.

This time, Lin Xiu did not refuse and immediately accepted the two bottles of Pill.

This made Lin Wentian praise himself even more. Cultivating meant one couldn't be controlled by emotions; only one's own strength was the basis.

Rubbing his temples, the exhausted Lin Wentian gestured for Lin Xiu to step down while he sat motionlessly on a chair by himself.

After leaving the meeting room, Lin Xiu did not stop for a moment and immediately headed towards his home. He wanted to inform Lin Zhong that he had won first place in the Family Competition.

"Squeak."

The moment he pushed the door open, Lin Xiu was surprised to find that his father was sitting at a table that was filled with all kinds of food that Lin Xiu liked.

"What are you standing around for? Come over quickly and drink two cups with me." Lin Zhong couldn't help but speak up when he saw Lin Xiu standing at the door.

However, a trace of worry flashed across Lin Zhong's eyes when he saw Lin Xiu's injury.

"Is it for the Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng?" Lin Zhong's tone was full of self-blame.

"Father, I must obtain it!" However, Lin Xiu's tone was firm.

"It's been hard on you, child."

Sitting at the table, Lin Xiu found a cup filled with wine beside his chopsticks.

"Xiu'er, from today onwards, you can be considered to have grown up and become a man in the future." Lin Zhong looked at his son and changed the topic. He didn't want Lin Xiu to see his weakness.

Lin Xiu also nodded, indicating that he was no longer a child.

Who knew that Lin Zhong would suddenly change his tone and start to have malicious intentions: "Since that's the case, how can there be a man who doesn't drink? Today, dad will teach you a good lesson."

Ignoring Lin Xiu's sullen face, Lin Zhong filled the glasses in front of the two, raised his head and drank again.

"You've met your grandfather?" Lin Zhong, who was already blushing, looked at his son who was wobbling and asked.

"Yeah, I saw it." Lin Xiu's mouth was filled with confusion.

"Is he all right?" This time, the usually carefree Liu Ming was slightly flustered as he cautiously asked this question.

"Not very good. Grandfather looks very tired." Lin Xiu started to fight with his eyelids, but he still answered Lin Zhong before he laid his head on the table.

After confirming that Lin Xiu had fallen asleep, Lin Zhong picked up the bottle of wine and poured it directly into his mouth. Gradually, the stern father in Lin Xiu's eyes started to mist over as he mumbled, "Father, I'm unfilial, I'm unfilial …"

Back then, he was so high-spirited that when he felt that it was difficult to make any more progress in his Huaining City, he left his home resolutely and started his own adventure. Who knew that in the end, he could only watch helplessly as his son was touched by someone else in terms of aptitude. Returning to the Lin Family himself only had a single injured body, and he personally saw Lin Wentian instantly age up a lot when he saw him.
