Godly Son-in-law

Seeing that the old man was in a good mood, Lin Zhan took the opportunity to speak. "Old Hero Long, since it's all a misunderstanding, why don't I leave first? My wife and children are still waiting for me to go back for dinner. Hehe."    

    

But before he could take a few steps back, he was stopped by the old man: You're quite a shrewd little fellow. I originally thought that the person who came would be a disciple of the Long Family, but I never expected that it would be you, kid. Nevermind, you can make do with it."    

    

Being able to use two words to carry a profound meaning, could it be that this old man has some sort of evil thoughts towards his own beauty? Lin Zhan's face turned bitter. He couldn't beat this old man, so it wouldn't be realistic for him to run away. The current situation could be said that he was stuck in a dilemma.    

    

"Old hero, I don't like that. Besides, forcefully twisting the melon is not sweet. You..." Lin Zhan was ready to reason with the old man, but who would have thought that his brain would hit Lin Zhan's forehead.    

    

Lin Zhan was sent flying more than ten meters away in an instant. After landing on the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood. How powerful was this old man of the Long Family? How could he have suffered such a serious internal injury in such a short period of time?    

    

"Kid, don't speak nonsense in front of me. Otherwise, I will kill you. I'll give you a week to finish reading this book!" The elder of the Long family threw out an ancient book. Lin Zhan took it and felt a little heavy.    

    

When he raised his head and looked at the old man again, he was surprised to find that the old man had disappeared.    

    

Lin Zhan focused all his attention on the ancient book in his hand. He flipped to the first page. On the first page, there were three big words written in complex characters, "Calming Heart Sutra.    

    

"It looks like an ordinary name. What's the use of it?" Lin Zhan started to read the contents of the book. Fortunately, he had to use complex words to read a lot of information in the remote Northern Region. Only then could he understand the contents of this ancient book.    

    

The more Lin Zhan read, the more engrossed he became. This book was teaching the readers how to cultivate their minds. Currently, although Lin Zhan had restrained his killing intent, when his emotions were unstable, it was very easy for him to completely erupt.    

    

When General Lin finished reading all the ancient books, Lin Zhan felt a wave of hunger in his stomach. The surrounding sky had already darkened. Just now, he was actually borrowing the moonlight to read a book?    

    

He immediately felt that it was inconceivable. When he was reading in front of him, he did not notice the changes in the surrounding environment at all.    

    

He looked around. There was nothing to eat in the mountains and forests. He was afraid that he would have to hunt some wild animals.    

    

Fortunately, Wuhen was still on him. Lin Zhan shuttled back and forth in the deep forest. An hour later, he started a fire with a wild rabbit and a wild chicken.    

    

The animal oil sizzled as it was roasted by the fire. The fragrance also spread out through the forest. At this time, there was a sudden movement in the surroundings. Lin Zhan felt it was very sensitive, and the Traceless Sword in his hand was instantly drawn out.    

    

"Kid, it's me. I saw a fiery light coming from you from afar, so I came here to see what you are doing."    

    

"It's an old hero." Lin Zhan heaved a sigh of relief and continued to focus on the roasted chicken and rabbit in his hand.    

    

The elder of the Long family hid on a branch and watched Lin Zhan roast the rabbit. His Adam's apple was rolling up and down.    

    

"Kid, why do you roast something so fragrant? This old man doesn't smell like this when I'm roasting it?"    

    

"There's a spice called Heavenly Fragrance Grass nearby. In the past, when I brought the troops out to fight, an old soldier told me about it. I just happened to see it, so I picked some along the way."    

    

Lin Zhan knew that this old man was probably hungry, but if he wanted to eat his own food, he had to pay a price. Want to eat for free? Even if the Heavenly King was here, he wouldn't be able to do it.    

    

Of course, this was because Lin Zhan knew that the old man wouldn't kill him because of this. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to do the same.    

    

"Is that so? Let this old man have a taste!" The old man's eyes lit up. In the next second, he appeared in front of Lin Zhan. The rabbit had already appeared in his hand. Lin Zhan shook his head with a bitter smile. Anyway, a wild chicken was enough for him to eat.    

    

After the old man finished his meal, Lin Zhan had almost finished it. The old man then said, "Consider it as me owing you a favor. Didn't you want to become the king of assassins in the Holy Church? I will train you during this period of time. You will be responsible for grilling the food."    

    

This was exactly what Lin Zhan wanted. To be able to receive the training of this old man with unfathomable strength, he was afraid that he would be able to increase his strength by another level.    

    

"Thank you very much, senior." Lin Zhan nodded respectfully, then took out the Meditation Scripture and started reading under the light of the fire.    

    

Lin Zhan watched for a while. The old man next to him did not move. He closed his eyes and sat next to him. He did not know what he was doing.    

    

The night passed just like that. The next morning, Lin Zhan was still playing chess with Duke Zhou when he was suddenly kicked awake. The sky was hazy. Fog rose from the forest. The one who woke him up was naturally the old man.    

    

"Kid, you will train with me during the day and cultivate the Meditation Scripture at night. Stay here for a month, and then you can scram!"    

    

The old man was actually observing Lin Zhan's learning progress last night. He was surprised to discover that this kid had learned almost all of the Heart Calming Scripture in a single night's time and could already carry out mental cultivation.    

    

This kind of talent might really be able to pass on everything he had learned in a month's time.    

    

Therefore, every day that followed, Lin Zhan would be tortured by the old man of the Long family during the day. At night, he would have to smile and roast some wild animals, as well as cultivate the Meditation Scripture.    

    

In the Holy Church, ever since Lin Zhan disappeared, the Holy Church had mobilized all the assassins in the world to search for him, but there was no clue at all. As for sending people into the forest, it was naturally impossible.    

    

So they held a meeting and after a few discussions, they confirmed a fact. Lin Zhan should be dead by now. Then, the disciples of the Holy Church needed to be re-selected.    

    

Apart from Lin Zhan, only Long Ying and Gusu Rose, the elder sister of Gusu Rose, were qualified in the entire Holy Church.    

    

In Yanjing, Lin Zhan had been missing for a long time. Shen Wan'er had not received any news of his safety for more than half a month. She could not help but feel anxious.    

    

However, she did not announce it to the public. She lived the same life every day, so much so that even the four of them did not know about Lin Zhan's disappearance.    

    

Time passed bit by bit. Some people who were paying attention to Lin Zhan also noticed that something was not right. It had been a month since Lin Zhan appeared in Yanjing or Shanghai.    

    

No one even knew where he went. Thus, rumors began to spread. In addition to the actions of the Long family against the Lin, news of Lin Zhan's assassination spread in the circle.    

    

The most subtle thing was that no one from the Long Family came forward to refute the rumor. This made everyone feel that he had been secretly eliminated by the Long Family.    

    

After receiving this news, some people started to get restless again.
