The tears in Little Tiger's eyes made Lin Chu even more anxious. He rushed into the thatched cottage, and was shocked to see the feeble old man lying on the bed.

The old man's right leg was deformed, and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was curled up on the bed, obviously in a coma.

"Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang, wake up!"

As if hearing Lin Hu's shout, the elder's right eye slightly opened as his already-deformed right leg trembled, "Child, it's good that you're fine!"

"Grandpa Huang, you're okay, I can cure you!" Just as he was about to draw in the starlight, Lin Hu noticed a pair of cold eyes outside. This person was a loyal guard of the Lin Family, and he was also a small official that managed the delivery of firewood here.

"Grandfather, I'll bring the herbs over right away. You'll be fine."

"Where's Littlemoon, where's Littlemoon?" The old man, who had regained some of his clarity, looked around nervously, his eyes filled with fear and unease.

"Grandpa Huang is fine. I know where Yue Er is. Don't worry, in the future, no one will bully us again."

After Lin Hu finished speaking, he pulled Little Tiger to the door, "Little Tiger, these are the remaining household items I have this month, go and get a doctor."

After giving out the instructions, he quickly headed to the location that Lin Fei had told him before he died.

He quickly moved away the wood sprouts and saw a pair of big eyes that were filled with panic and curled up in a corner.

At this moment, he finally let go of the big rock in his heart, and rushed forward to hug Xiao Yue'er.

Xiao Yue'er, with her large eyes, saw the arrival of Lin Yu and immediately started crying.

There were some scars on her rosy cheeks, and her tears had already fallen into her mouth. She felt an unspeakable heartache.

Big brother Lin Hua, those bad guys are too bad for grandpa, they beat him up, the surrounding aunties did not help either, they just watched grandpa Huang get beaten up, and even wanted to capture me to go to Spirit Beast Mountain to gather herbs. If grandpa did not agree, I think he would be beaten to the ground and not get up.

Looking at Xiao Yue'er, who was still crying, Lin Hu tightly clenched his fists.

Hugging Xiao Yue'er in his embrace, he tried to comfort her, "No, Yue Er. No one will ever bully us again!"

Lin Chu gently caressed the young girl's head, consoling Xiao Yue'er's injured heart, then he held the crying Xiao Yue'er and hurried back.

On the way back, the astonished eyes of Lin Fei, who was standing in the forest outside the grass hut, couldn't avoid Lin Chu's spiritual sense. At this moment, his heart trembled as he knew something bad had happened.

However, he did not chase after them. He only saw himself bringing Xiao Yue'er back. Presumably, Lin Fei and the rest disappeared without a trace in the next few days and would not blame it on his own head.

"Grandfather, look. Xiao Yue'er is here." Lin Hu walked into the house and brought Xiao Yue'er to Grandfather Huang's side.

The father and daughter embraced each other as soon as they met, which made Lin Zhu feel gratified.

At this time, Xiao Hu brought the doctor back and took care of Grandpa Huang's injuries. The doctor was famous in the Fragrant Night Village, so Xiao Hu's heart was at ease.

Unfortunately, Grandpa Huang was too old, and also suffered from such a heavy injury. His right leg was already crippled, but Lin Hua wasn't worried, as he had a way to heal Grandpa Huang's leg.

Lin Fei's guards had already left, but when they left, their eyes were filled with fear.

Lin Hu did not mind. Even if he discovered that Lin Fei and the rest had disappeared, he would not do anything to him, a martial arts cripple. This was the capital he was currently relying on.

Thus, his recovery from the Zhou Heavenly Star Brilliance was the most important matter at hand.

He kept his calm mind at ease as he laid on the grass outside the house, gathering the star power and gathering it between his brows.

This process seemed simple, but it was actually quite taxing.

Six hours later, Lin Hua finally gave up on absorbing Zhou Tian Xing Hui due to exhaustion.

The next morning, the sky was slightly bright. Lin Hu went to the back of the mountain to gather herbs as usual. Before leaving, he brought along his morning white bread, a jug of clear spring water, and a jug of millet congee.

After the medicine basket was filled to the brim, Lin Hua went to his practice area.

When he entered the cave, he saw that Zi Tong was still sleeping, so he packed the dried rations he brought with him and placed them beside Zi Tong. He then placed a few more medicinal fruits before turning around and leaving.

Then, he turned around and picked up the medicinal fruit, "The purple eye wound is suitable for eating light medicinal fruits. This one seems a bit too thick for the body to recover, so it's better not to eat it!"

With that, he bit down and turned around to leave the hidden cultivation cave.

What he didn't know was that the youth didn't know about the smile on the young girl's mouth.

"Today's ingredients are more numerous than in the past. It should be enough to support me for two days." While he was muttering to himself, Lin Hua had already arrived at the Medicine Hall.

The Medicine Hall was a place for service disciples to submit medicinal herbs and complete missions.

If he could harvest precious herbs, he would be able to bear the weight of them for a few days or even a few weeks.

However, if he wanted to harvest good medicinal ingredients, he would have to go to Spirit Beast Mountain to pick them.

For example, the Fragrant Leaf Mountain, where Lin Hua lived, lacked a dense Martial Qi. Therefore, precious medicinal herbs were extremely rare.

As for the phenomenon of possession, it also occurred.

However, the Lin Family guards of Fragrant Leaf village controlled the flow of traffic from all kinds of channels, so this phenomenon was very rare.

The most important thing was that the quantity of medicinal ingredients required was very strict. If he did not hand it over this month, then there would be no Martial Stones issued out.

Therefore, he also got himself a janitor's son from Fragrant Leaf Village, who could work however he liked.

"Lin Yuan had brought a lot today, so it can be considered a task for two days."

The person who spoke was an obese middle-aged man. He gazed at Lin Hu with a kind smile.

"Damn, what happened to that fatty today!"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, he felt that something was wrong.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed Lin Fei's loyal guard.

He calmly looked at the middle-aged fatty before him.

The fatty was the Lin Clan's head, unlike the Lin Clan guards.

His surname was Lin, and he was only a branch of the side branch. Thus, he was assigned to a remote mountain village like Fragrant Leaf village to manage trifling matters. His name was Lin Can Pang.

Indeed, the words were the same as his name. It perfectly matched the true meaning of his name.

Hearing this, Lin Hu replied with a smile, "Since there's a problem with your meridians and you can't build a martial art, then you must work harder and fill up your family!"

As he said this, he scratched his head, revealing a simple and honest look. This action caused Manager Lin to squint his eyes.

"Actually, I have something to ask of you. The medicine hall's entrance has a huge boulder weighing 600 kilograms. Now that it has some space, can you move it away for me?"

Hearing this, Lin Hua hurriedly shook his head, "Steward Lin, please don't tease me. I'm a martial artist at the Second Stage who's about the same level as a mortal. Isn't it hard for me to move a 600 jin boulder?"

As he said this, Lin Hu sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes wide open in shock as he looked at Manager Lin.

Looking at the youth's actions, he thought for a while before putting on a cold expression, "If that's the case, then forget it!"

Supervisor Lin smiled indifferently, then turned around and left, not bothering to pay any attention to Lin Hu.

Lin Hu coldly laughed in his heart as he witnessed this scene. He guessed that this middle-aged man was trying to test him, it was obvious that he had already been suspected.

It had been two days since the outer sect disciples had gone missing, and all sorts of rumors were spreading in the village.

Normally, regardless of the level of the disciples of the Lin Clan, when they travel, they must register with the Lin Clan's steward.

Lin Fei and the rest had disappeared for no reason. It was obvious that they had been discovered.

Among them, there was a rumor that the Spirit Beasts had come to the Aromatic Leaf Mountain to camp and had eaten Lin Fei and the other four outer disciples.

This kind of transmission was extremely high, which was why the servant disciples did not dare to go up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs.

Faced with this rumor, the Lin Family guards racked their brains to find a way to calm down.

There was no other way! The medicinal herbs in the Medicine Hall were all from Fragrant Leaf Mountain. If the service disciples did not take the blame from the headquarters, they would not be able to afford it.

As a result, the Lin Family guards cleared the surrounding mountains one by one. Only when they found nothing out of the ordinary did the janitor disciple dare to set out on the mountain.

"Big brother Lin Hu, you'd better not go to the Fragrant Leaf Mountain to gather herbs. I heard that there are spirit beasts that eat humans!" Xiao Yue'er blinked her bright eyes, looking at Lin Hua and said timidly.

Looking at the young girl in front of him, Lin Chu scratched the tip of Xiao Yue'er's nose with a smile. "Your big brother Lin Gu is amazing. He won't be eaten by the spirit beasts."

"Big brother Lin Hua is so powerful!" The young girl was innocent. She raised her head and looked at the forest bud as she let out a soft sigh.

"Has Grandpa Huang recovered!" An old man walked out of the house. His eyes were very kind. When Lin Hu was twelve years old, his meridians were destroyed. This old man could do anything to comfort and take care of him.

It could be said that the person closest to him was no different from him.

"I feel better now. These few days have been a lot more leisurely. Without them, things will be normal again. I still have to thank you, Bastard. But be careful not to trust others too much. Some things just remain hidden in your heart."

Grandpa Huang grabbed onto Lin Hua's hand, reminding him with a sincere tone.

"Grandfather Huang, you can rest assured that I will. Rest in peace, I need to chop firewood. Xiao Yue'er take good care of Grandfather Huang, don't follow Lin Yun today."

Xiao Yue'er sensibly nodded and ran to the old man's side and obediently stood there.

"Steward Lin, are you sure you have a lot of firewood today?" Seeing that there was twice as much wood as before, Lin Hu grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Not much!" "In three months, it will be the Lin Clan Gathering, and the service disciples will have to test their martial energy. If their martial energy has improved, they can be promoted to outer sect disciples. Although I am your service steward, I am also responsible for supervising your cultivation."

As he spoke, Steward Lin displayed such a serious and solemn expression that even Lin Chu himself almost believed him to be real.

As the saying goes, not only did you not hit a smiling person, Lin Hu also sighed endlessly, but it was only an expression of your heart.

How could I, a cripple, expect this? I just want to live a peaceful life as a mortal, and that's enough for me. I don't have that many thoughts." Lin Hu sighed with a helpless look on his face.
