Durin's Diary

Chapter 455: Drink and polish

The Everburning Nest has not been seen for several months and has been expanded again.

When Du Lin came in, several young boys were chatting in the hall. When they saw Du Lin, they all lined up and bowed their heads.

"Okay, where's Madam Lin and her guests?" Du Lin didn't want to leave these young men hungry. He gave each of them a portion of the cakes he brought back from the elves, then pulled out a cart from the space: "Go tell the kids to give each of them a portion. Give me a list of those who didn't get one, and I'll pick it up later."

"On the second floor." A Ganai kid who received a snack pointed to the ceiling.

Du Lin patted the dog's head and went upstairs.

Zhao Tiancheng was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Lin on the balcony. When he saw Du Lin coming up, he laughed out loud and called Du Lin over.

"Come, let me introduce you, kid. This old man's surname is Zheng, and his name is Zheng Lincheng. Zheng Zhilin over there is his nephew, and the young man next to him is Zheng Zhiyu, Lincheng's son." Having said that, Zhao Tiancheng waved to the two of them.

Zheng Zhilin walked over with confidence and bowed deeply to Du Lin. "Thank you, Master Du Lin, for saving my brother's wife."

The energetic young man with tied hair beside him also bowed deeply: "Thank you, Master Du Lin."

Du Lin had no choice but to reach out and help the two of them up: "No need to be polite, Miss Lin is lucky, she washed ashore and I happened to pick her up."

At this time, Zhao Tiancheng pointed to the gray-haired old man on the other side and introduced Du Lin: "Come, this is the descendant of the young lady from the Mo family. What can you see with your Yin-Yang eyes?"

Du Lin was stunned, then noticed that the old man had no pupil in his left eye.

He glanced at Du Lin, remained silent for a moment, and finally knelt tremblingly on the floor: "I, Zheng Lincheng... greet Young Master Du Lin."

"It's really impossible." Du Lin is still a child in this life, how can this be possible.

"I'm kneeling because you are really Miss Mo's descendant. What I owe her must be repaid to her descendants eventually." After the old man finished speaking, he stood up.

He looked at Du Lin, his eyes filled with an indescribable sadness, but in the end, he asked without any context, "Miss Mo's daughter, your mother, how is she doing now?"

"My father passed away, and my mother lived alone in the old house in Lublin. My brother, sister and I spent the New Year with her." Du Lin was still a little curious when he said this.

Because the old man's right hand was always shaking, as if he had Parkinson's disease.

But he finally tried to smile: "You love your mother very much."

This sentence made Du Lin silent for a while. Finally, Du Lin sighed softly: "Whether it is love or hate, people always think about what they lack."

At this time, Lady Katrina came up with three snow leopards and came to Dulin: "Master, the merchant representatives from Venice heard that you are back and are now downstairs."

There was no choice, Du Lin apologized and went downstairs.

………………

As soon as the main person left, Zheng Zhilin laughed and patted Zheng Zhiyu on the shoulder: "I told you, Mr. Du Lin is Zhulong, a person from heaven. He testified for the Lin family's innocence, and that was to help you."

"It's me, Meng Lang, who didn't realize how profound Zhulong's kindness was." The young man nodded awkwardly. "Wait until Young Master Du Lin comes up, and then you can have him lead you to Madam Lin to apologize." Zheng Zhilin said, and walked over to his uncle.

Prince Zheng Tiancheng walked to the balcony, and seemed to understand that the Zheng uncle and nephew had something to say.

"Uncle, you..." Zheng Zhilin knew that his uncle had some relationship with Miss Mo, but it was not so close that he needed to kneel down.

"Don't ask if there's nothing to ask. You don't have the third eye, so if you know too much, you might die."

If these words from the elders happened in other families, they would definitely be heartbreaking.

But in the Zheng family, this is the elders' kindness. They don't want their untalented younger generations to die casually because of their curiosity. The Zheng family has psychics, and the most striking feature of them is that they have eyes without pupils.

Such eyes can explore everything and see everything.

But Zheng's son also has weaknesses. When he meets an extremely powerful person, he cannot tell any secrets about him, otherwise he will be doomed to death at any time.

And the more this secret is known, the greater the implications.

The elder uncle said not to ask anymore, and Zheng Zhilin immediately nodded and stepped back.

Zheng Lincheng walked towards Zhao Tiancheng and took the cigarette that Zhao Tiancheng handed over: "You saw it, right?"

"Yes, an old man and a young boy, their spirits coexisting. I couldn't stop when I first saw them, and I brought shame to the Tianshi Mansion." The old Tianshi sighed sadly at this point: "You said he was extremely compassionate, is that true?"

"He killed people who deserved to die, otherwise I wouldn't have let you come with me. I know that you, the Zheng family's Taoist priest, are most afraid of twin spirits, especially such a weird one." Old Zhulong said this and gave him a cigarette.

"Rumor has it in our clan that the Zheng family's downfall began with a struggle between their descendants and the twin spirits. I've been constantly on guard all my life, but I never imagined it. I've spent all my life investigating, and I didn't think this maxim would come true, but I never imagined it would be here." Zheng Lincheng took the phone but didn't light it. He looked into the hall, "Without you this time, our Zheng family would have a feud with the Lin family. The Lin family's resentment would surely draw the displeasure of this Candle Dragon, and this resentment would eventually turn into retribution, falling upon our Zheng family."

"I helped you this time. Please don't forget me for this sip of wedding wine." Zhao Tiancheng said with a smile.

"I will definitely not forget Lord Zhao, and that Lord Du..." "His surname is Ai Ershi, and his given name is Du Lin."

"Ah, this Rakshasa's name is hard to pronounce. If Xiaojun could change back to the Mo clan, those little demons would be very happy." At this point, the old man sighed again and said, "Why didn't you bring the Mo clan elders with you this time?"

"I'm afraid the old man will die of excitement. If he dies here, won't it cause trouble for everyone? It's better to wait for an opportunity and let me do some work. If Du Lin is willing to go back to Chang Tang with me, that would be great." Yue Tiancheng said this and lit a cigarette for himself. "This child is amazing, the heir to the Dukedom. If it were someone from our family, I'm afraid he would have just lived a life of idleness and death. But he has accomplished so many great things. If this child took my surname, our Zhao family would be guaranteed a thousand years of prosperity."

"This boy has twin souls, one big and one small. Is it really so magical, Your Majesty?" Zheng Lincheng was a little confused.

"He is born with twin souls, one big and one small. He is mature despite his age and has some ups and downs in his mind, but he still has the sense of justice that a young person should have in his heart. Everything he does is just. This is the state of mind that many Candle Dragons are born with but cannot obtain, and ask for but cannot get." When he said this, the old Candle Dragon sighed.

First, it’s a pity that this is not his child.

Secondly, he didn't know whether his little descendant had seen Du Lin with his own eyes at this time.

Her lineage places the utmost emphasis on stealth, so even if he wants to find her, he has to use tortoise shell divination.
