Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chapter 553 The Purpose of Lin Yue and the Others

Lin Yue nodded kindly, "Thank you for your trouble."

However, the young woman named Lin Muyue asked questions as she followed them into the mansion.

"Butler, what was my brother's attitude towards our arrival?"

The butler turned slightly to the side, forcing a smile, "My lord has always kept his emotions hidden, and I dare not presume to know his thoughts."

Lin Muyue frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the housekeeper's explanation, and was about to ask something else.

The butler spoke first, "Miss, I heard what you said at the courtyard gate. However, this place is not like Muyang City. There are many people in the city who respect you. If others hear what you said, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

Furthermore, Wandao City is the center where two dynasties meet, a place where all the world's forces flock to. Owning such a large mansion is already an honor bestowed upon you by the master.

Now that we're in Muyang City, Miss, you should adjust your mindset.

The butler's sudden words surprised Lin Yue and his family of four.

Realizing what had happened, Lin Muyue was still a little angry and quickly walked to the butler who had led the way.

"Are you lecturing me? I'm your master's sister, after all. Is this the attitude a servant should have?"

Faced with her questioning, the butler remained calm and composed, replying with neither servility nor arrogance:

"Miss is mistaken. This is not education, but a reminder. The various forces in Wandao City are intertwined."

If people knew that the elder's younger sister was ill-mannered, it would inevitably become a laughing stock. Now that the Lin family's fortune is so large, they still need to be mindful of appearances.

Meanwhile, the butler silently added in his mind, "Besides, she's a half-sister."

Lin Muyue was furious. She had never suffered such humiliation in Muyang City. When did it become the turn of a steward or servant to teach her manners?

Just as she was about to lash out, Lin Yue, who was walking behind her, gave a deep, cold shout, 'sealing' her from any further action.

"Muzuki is back. The butler was right. We're new here, so we need to learn more about the rules."

Lin Muyue pouted, but dared not disobey her father's authority. She could only glare at the housekeeper before walking to her mother's side, her face cold and silent.

All she could hear was her mother's soft, comforting voice in her ear.

Because of the steward's words, the atmosphere among the group became tense. They lost interest in appreciating the various exquisite sights in the mansion and were quickly led to the main hall.

Upon entering the main hall, one sees a young man with an air of nobility and a calm demeanor sitting in the main seat.

As if sensing the movement at the door, the young man slightly raised his eyes and looked over, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips that didn't reach his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that Father was bringing the whole family to Wandao City so I could arrange for someone to pick you up?"

Seeing that the young man remained firmly seated in the main seat without any intention of getting up, Lin Yue's smile, which had been on his son's face, instantly faded. After so many years, the father and son had finally become somewhat estranged.

He walked to Lin Zixu's other side and slowly sat down. "You're so busy, I thought I wouldn't bother you with these little things."

"There's no trouble at all when we're family. These are my two younger siblings. I haven't seen them for so many years, and they've grown so much."

What are you standing there for? Sit down, everyone.

Upon hearing Lin Zixu speak, the other three hurriedly sat down on either side of the hall.

Over the years, Lin Zixu had returned to Muyang City and to the ever-expanding mansion. Although his two younger siblings had seen him before, they had a natural fear of him.

It wasn't just because of the age gap or the oppressive status of being the older brother; it was also because all the wealth and luxury they enjoyed in Muyang City came from this older brother they rarely saw.

"Did Father come to Wandao City for sightseeing this time, or is there some other important business?"

Upon hearing Lin Zixu's question, Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, as if there was something he found difficult to say.

Lin Zixu noticed that his gaze kept shifting between Lin Muyue and Lin Muxing, and shook his head slightly in his heart. So it really was about that matter?

"Steward Zhao, Madam, Miss and Young Master must be tired from their journey. Please take them down to rest first. My father and I have some things to discuss."

Butler Zhao responded, "Yes," and then gestured an invitation towards the three somewhat awkward individuals.

"Please follow me, all three of you."

The three of them were eager to leave the oppressive hall as soon as possible, so they left with Butler Zhao without any hesitation.

With the departure of the others, the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed. When only the father and son remained, it felt as if Lin Yue had returned to the time when he was a guard in the Chu family.

"Zixu, you have established your clan with source artifacts for a long time, yet you have always been alone. Have you ever thought about marriage?"

Lin Zixu shook his head slightly, "I haven't had anyone in mind, so I haven't thought about it."

Lin Yue sighed, "We've been separated for so long, and in the end, I still owe you a lot."

Lin Zixu frowned slightly. Sure enough, people change with the passage of time. His father wouldn't have said such things when he was a boy.

"Leaving with the Chu family back then was my own choice, and neither of us owes the other anything."

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

Lin Zixu estimated the time; he should be going to the Beast Academy soon, so he said directly, "Father, just say what you have to say. I have other things to do later."

Lin Yue rubbed his temples and then said:

"It's alright, you go ahead and do your work, we can talk about it when you get back."

Seeing that he didn't intend to speak, Lin Zixu stood up and said, "Then Father, please rest well. We'll talk in detail when I have time."

After saying that, Lin Zixu's figure gradually faded and disappeared directly from the main hall.

Lin Yue sat in the main hall in a daze for a while before going to the other courtyard to meet up with Lin Muyue and the others.

He had just entered the room when Lin Muyue eagerly approached him, "Father, how did it go? Did my brother agree?"

Lin Yue sighed, "This matter needs to wait a few more days. Only after your brother accepts you can I bring it up in a natural way. You two need to behave well these next few days."

Upon hearing this, Lin Muyue's face immediately fell, and she said with a hint of reproach:

"Father, that is our elder brother, your son. Why can't you just say what you want to say? We are family. It is only natural for him to enter the bloodline of the Source Artifact Family."

"Father, do you also believe that because we and my brother don't share the same mother, our bloodline is unworthy to be included in the Source Artifact that my brother possesses?"

Lin Muyue's mother also looked at Lin Yue with a hesitant expression, her eyes seeming to say that the two hundred years of companionship had been a joke.

Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, "No, it's just that I haven't seen your brother for many years, so we've become a bit estranged. If I were to make a request right away, it might backfire."

Just listen to me, Zixu is ultimately a sentimental person.

Lin Muyue then reluctantly uttered an "Oh".
