Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 20: The surname of one’s parents cannot be abandoned. No martial arts master can be born without kneeling on their knees!

Serve tea and worship godfather! ?

Lin Zhenhai's speech was a complete twist.

This made Lu Yu and Ji Xiu stunned.

Also known as
The people who were brought here by the steward whipped by the 'groom' today were also stunned.

"Father, do you want to adopt him as your adopted son?"

Lin Ruyue, who had been hiding behind the curtain and had not seen him for some time, had faded a lot from his impression of her. She was only worried that her savior would be treated badly, so she hurried over.

Coincidentally, behind the scenes, Lin Zhenhai's sudden and condensed words were heard.

So she was startled and stopped the action of lifting the curtain. Instead, she quietly poked half of her head out and gently covered the veil with her small hands.

Just a glance.

Lin Ruyue, who had stuck her head out, saw Ji Xiu.

When the young lady of the Lin family saw Ji Xiu's current face clearly,
She immediately covered her mouth, as if frightened.

"How come he seems like a different person after just a few days of not seeing him?"

Lin Ruyue still vaguely remembered that Ji Xiu reined in his horse at dusk and controlled the mad horse.

Although his eyes were sharp, his face was sallow and he was skinny. No matter how hard you looked at him, you couldn't tell what he looked like.

But this time, it was different.

As the saying goes, when you meet someone after three days, you should look at him with new eyes.

The young man who was sitting calmly on the mahogany chair not far away had completely changed his appearance and was very different from before.

I only saw,
His hair was hanging down, his face was ruddy, his profile was as sharp as a knife, and there was a hint of coldness on the corners of his eyebrows, like the cold dew in early spring, giving him a sense of alienation that kept strangers away.

If it weren't for the clothes he was wearing, he would look a little shabby.

In this late autumn, I put on a fox fur cloak and a brocade crown.

Even the descendants of wealthy families and noble men of letters would probably not be much better!
The impression that Lin Ruyue had originally had faded suddenly became solid, and this appearance was gradually imprinted in her mind.

And at this time.
"Father, no!"

"He whipped the housekeeper and the guards in the house. If he still gave them a higher status, wouldn't that make people angry and dissatisfied?"

The only male in the Lin family, the third son born out of wedlock, Lin Du, hurried over.

As soon as he entered, he heard Lin Zhenhai's words and spoke in a hurry.

Previously, Manager Lin had said that this boy had vaguely guessed about the framing of the 'Second Young Lady'.

If Ji Xiu was asked to serve tea and worship as godfather, he would become the "adopted son" of the Lin family from then on.

Lin Du didn't even dare to think about what would happen if he exposed this matter one day.
I’m afraid that my future will have nothing to do with the Lin family’s inheritance!

His father, Lin Zhenhai, had long intended to find a husband for his second daughter, Lin Ruyue.

Although Ji Xiu is a few years younger than his second sister, he is still young and has strong muscles and can be cultivated.

When he raised his head, he looked through the gauze curtain into the inner room.

Lin Ruyue's eyes fell on Lin Du's eyes.

When he saw his second sister staring at Ji Xiu intently, he immediately became more determined in his thoughts.

As the saying goes, the one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon.

The look in his second sister's eyes made him panic.

Call this kid in.
That's really letting the wolf in!
"Ah."

Lin Zhenhai smiled:
"Xiao San, I didn't ask for your opinion."

"Today, I will teach you another lesson, so that you won't be led astray by the servants and instilled with some inappropriate ideas."

He knocked on the table:
"In this Lin residence."

"What I give you is yours."

"I won't give it"

"Whoever comes here, what they say doesn't count."

"It is not the turn of the stewards and guards in the courtyard to comment on who I choose to adopt as my adopted son."

"Go back."

Lin Zhenhai's few light words were enough to make veins pop out on Lin Du's forehead.

All the words in his mind were stuck in his throat, unable to go in or out.

Old man, are you seeing what he is thinking?
Does he know that he had framed his second sister before?
It would be better if you didn’t know.

If you know.
A drop of cold sweat slipped down.

Then this kid can’t survive!
Manager Lin.
I can't stay here either.

He lowered his head tightly, trying hard to suppress his expression and not reveal any clues.

however,
At this time, Ji Xiu stood up and suddenly said:
"My boss."

Lin Zhenhai nodded:
"Well, you said."

Looking at the cup of warm tea, Ji Xiu pondered for a moment and said:
"I am just a groom, why did the boss suddenly become interested in me?"

Lin Zhenhai smiled:

"When I was young, I was also a hunter and a swordsman. I don't care about my background."

"Today, I saw that the young master of Huoyaolu Village was so protective of you that he even came to get a slave contract for you and change your place of origin. I knew that you are not an ordinary person."

"You come from a poor family and have no special skills. If you join my sect, I can teach you sword techniques and standing exercises to help you strengthen your muscles. You can temporarily manage a shop to hone your skills."

"If you have potential in the future, I can teach you the method of 'tempering iron bones'."

"I have checked your family situation. You have no father or mother, and only a sister who is a burden. If you change my surname to Lin and become my heir, it won't be unfair to you."

"It can be considered a stairway to heaven."

He thought that the conditions he offered were quite reasonable.

He was also sure that this kid had some potential, but due to his limited vision, he couldn't refuse.

And as long as Ji Xiu accepts it.

Even if the young master of Lu Zhuang came in person and intended to tear up the slave contract.

As long as this kid is still under him.

If the news gets out, the reputation and prestige of his Lin family will not be damaged, and he can also recruit a martial artist named Lin for free, killing two birds with one stone.

Can.
Father, like son.

If Ji Xiu was really just an ordinary peasant, it would be fine.

But he had to endure two lives, and was inspired by the broad-minded Duan Chenzhou.

Therefore, his eyes were as clear as fire, as if he was not part of the game.

Lin Zhenhai's words were just polite remarks.

If Lu Yu hadn't come to visit,
Even if you are a martial artist and have gotten into the mood, once he catches you, there are plenty of ways to discipline you, using the sticks, threats and inducements, and you will have to submit even if you don't want to.

The reason why I mentioned adopting a "adopted son".

It was just that he saw someone coming to Lin's house to snatch someone away, and for the sake of face, he was unwilling to let this "slave groom" go easily.

He did think highly of himself.

But it was just a few glances.

If this is the case, he will be asked to abandon his name and surname for two generations, sever his blood ties, and not worship his ancestors or visit their graves in the future.
I'm afraid it's not enough.

He could offer this tea to Duan Chenzhou by kneeling down, because he was the "master".

Kelin Zhenhai
At most, he was just a former 'master'.

But when he became a warrior, he began to tear apart the bond of slavery.

There is only a sense of affection left.

This kindness is not enough to make him kneel!
Think about this.

Ji Xiu raised his hand slightly and pushed the tea aside.

this move.

The smile on Lin Zhenhai's face faded a little.

It also made Lu Yu look sideways.

"My boss."

Ji Xiu lowered his eyelids:

"You cannot abandon your parents' surname."

"My younger sister is young at home."

"He can't live without a brother named 'Ji'."

"Since I am a son of the Ji family, it is difficult to be a son of the Lin family."

"If there is a chance in the future to redeem the slavery and the reward from the Second Miss, Ji Xiu will repay it."

"But this time, I'm sorry I can't obey you."

He raised his head and looked straight ahead, even though the person in front of him was a master of bone tempering!
At this moment, Ji Xiu had nothing to fear.

He was calm and confident in front of Lin Zhenhai. After bowing, he happened to catch a glimpse of Lin Ruyue, who was half-poking her head out from under the gauze curtain in the inner hall. She was stunned and speechless, as if she was shocked by his "bold" words.

He nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing. He said goodbye to Lin Zhenhai and followed with the kiln manager.

"My junior fellow apprentice."

“Great courage!”

"Not like a poor kid!"

Lu Yu's eyes were full of energy.

If one is intimidated by the title of "adopted son", he will kneel down and offer tea without stopping.

Then, where would he, the young master of Lu Village, who came to help, put his face at that time! ?

He's just an adopted son, managing a shabby shop, it's just a nice title!
In terms of benefits, he is not even half as good as the "guest" of Lu Zhuang!

Junior brother is so ambitious.

He couldn't treat him badly either.

When he gets back, he will ask the old man to treat him better than the Lin family!
"This boy is not like me."

"Back then, I tried my best for a little opportunity. If I had changed my last name, I would have been able to rise to the top."

"What's the harm in changing it?!"

Lin Zhenhai picked up the tea and took a sip.

He saw the light shining on Ji Xiu's back, making this poor peasant feel like he was reborn.

When Lin Ruyue walked out, he saw that her eyes were always on this boy, and he even made a comment.

"He gave Lu Yu face, but rejected my face."

“I think”

"Can't I trip him up a bit?"

The figure gradually walked away, and Lin Zhenhai snorted.

However, it didn't take long.

In the outer courtyard, there was a sudden noise.

"The eldest lady is the eldest lady back!"

heard this movement.

Be generous!

Lin Zhenhai stood up suddenly, his eyes bright, and he threw the boy's ungrateful thoughts out of his mind:

"I am the Qilin girl of An Ning Lin Clan."

"came back!?"

Stepping over the threshold of Lin’s house.

Ji Xiu and Lu Yu walked side by side, feeling as if all the shackles on their bodies were removed and they walked with the wind.

Lu Yu was still patting his chest beside my ear:

"Junior brother, you have given me enough face. Don't worry, as long as you go to the government office to change your place of origin, I will ask for the best treatment from the old man even if I have to!"

"Just watch!"

The two walked side by side all the way out of the Lin residence, but... just as Ji Xiu walked through the gate.

By chance, he passed by a woman wearing a cloud-patterned narcissus dress, with her face covered with a veil and a long sword at her waist.

However, neither of them noticed.

Only the woman stopped here and looked back.

After a glance, he went into the house and disappeared.

Then,

The whole 'Lin Residence' was in an uproar.
