”Brother Lin, let's go in!” Iris had been persuading him for two hours. But Lin Xuanzi did not seem to have any reaction at all. Tie Rukuang looked at Lin Xuanzi helplessly with tears in her eyes.

Ever since that day when Lin Hongxue had disappeared without reason from the cliff, Lin Xuanzi had searched the bottom of the cliff like crazy for six days! In the end, not even a single piece of clothing was found.

”Snow, where are you? ”Quickly return to uncle's side, uncle will take you home …” Lin Xuanzi's eyes were glazed. Every day, he would sit by the lake outside the villa, staring at the lake in a daze.

Tirion followed closely by his side, afraid that something would happen to Lin Zai-ge. At this moment, only Ironheart and his family could understand Lin Xuanzi's feelings. He had raised the Lin Clan's bloodline with great difficulty, but unexpectedly, he lost it all at this moment! How could he explain this to his dead big brother? As for Lin Xuanzi, he treated Redsnow as his most precious treasure. Since he was not by his side for the entire day, he was constantly nagging in his heart. Moreover, it was unclear whether he was dead or alive!

”Big Brother Lin, shall we go back first?” A few moments ago, Lin Xuanzi had come down to the bottom of the cliff and had been wounded.

”Xue'er, you …” Lin Xuanzi was still sitting there without moving as he mumbled to himself.

Tsui Mei couldn't help crying as she leaned on Lin Xuanzi's back. I've cried like this many times.

Tirion had wanted to have a good time with Brother Lin after the Martial Arts Competition, but he didn't expect to run into such a situation.

”Hey, Shuang-er, hurry up and visit big brother Lin. Bring him back for dinner with Rui'er …” ”This dish has gone cold...” Iron Lantern frowned as he paced back and forth in the hall.

”Sigh, I didn't think that the tough man that big brother Lin has become like this …” Tie Wushuang was helpless to help, so he could only mumble on the side.

”I'll go take a look …” As he spoke, he walked out of the courtyard towards the outside of the manor …

”Oh, nephew Lin, taking care of your health is more important —” Tie Wushuang rushed to the lakeside to 'support' Lin Xuanzi with his little sister. Once he sat down, Tie Xiaoyun immediately grabbed some food for Lin Xuanzi to eat as he consoled him with a pained heart.

After a period of interaction, Tie Xiaoyun felt admiration for Lin Xuanzi, as well as a fondness for him. He was thinking about whether or not he could become his son-in-law. That was the protection of the family ancestors. Of course the old man had witnessed the love that Rui-Mei had for Lin Xuanzi. It was just that he did not know what to say. Naturally, Tie Wushuang didn't want this Brother Lin who couldn't grow up much to become his brother-in-law. Therefore, this family took good care of Lin Xuanzi.

”Ah, Nephew Lin —” It was hard for Iron Curtain Clouds to pour Lin Xuanzi another full bowl of wine. ”Xue'er has her own talents, so I think he should be fine. Maybe he'll be back in a few days, ah! Haha … Come, let's drink! There was a saying, ”Man is iron. Rice is steel!” ”Come here …!” Tie Chanyun forced a smile on his face as he tried to ease the atmosphere.

”Ugh …” Lin Xuanzi was not really muddle-headed. It was just that the disappearance of Hong Xue had made him anxious and anxious. He only wanted to find him immediately, which resulted in him feeling depressed and absent-minded all day. However, in front of Iron Curtain Cloud, he still subconsciously knew that he had to face this question of etiquette.

”This junior is extremely ashamed. I've caused senior Iron quite a bit of trouble these past few days, so I'm prepared to …” From the sound of his words, Lin Xuanzi seemed to be more clear-headed than usual. He turned around and glanced at Tie Ruimei and Xin Wushuang, a smile actually appearing on his face. ”Junior is planning to return to Penglai Island today …” ”He's been out for a long time, and his master …” As he said this, Lin Xuanzi's eyes reddened and his voice became choked with sobs. He paused for a moment before continuing, ”I have to bring Master home, and then after guarding filial piety for him, I'll go find Xue'er …”

Tie Xiaoyun was instantly speechless. Only Tie Rumei and Tie Wushuang looked at Lin Xuanzi, speechless.

It was no wonder that one of the two most personal people had suddenly left the world and the other had disappeared without a trace. All of this was like a dream to Lin Xuanzi!

But it was a nightmare.

Of course Tie Xiaoyun could understand this feeling, so could Tie Wushuang. As for Tie Ruying, she could feel that it was an unforgettable pain!

”Ai, Nephew Lin, please listen to what I say —” Tie Lanyun put down the wine in his mouth and said with a serious face, ”Not only are you sad about the departure of the Carefree Immortal, I believe that all of our martial arts friends are as upset as I am. However, this person cannot be revived, and … ” Tie Xiaoyun immediately looked miserable, ”Besides, the old man's ashes are no longer to be found.” However, this is also good. Let him stay in our Iron Sword Villa forever. I think that even if he knows about this underground, he will definitely not blame you … ”

As he spoke, Tie Xiaoyun put down his chopsticks and slowly stood up. His hand stroked his white beard as his forehead appeared to be filled with the vicissitudes of life.

”Tomorrow, I will instruct some people to make a stone tablet for him in the town. After that, I will build a large mausoleum for him in the back mountain and let him rest in peace here. I don't think he'll ever feel lonely again in Iron Sword Villa … We can talk to him, drink with him... ”

”Ai, this old man has wandered the martial arts world for most of my life …” Tie Xiaoyun raised his head and sighed, ”Ever since this Martial Arts Competition, I've thought of many things …”

”So …” Iron Lantern turned around and said earnestly, ”I also intend to retire from the martial arts world and never ask about the martial arts world ever again …” He glanced at Tie Ruyi and Tie Wushuang as he said this, and continued, ”I intend to start anew after repairing the Iron Sword Shop at the back of the mountain …”

”Ah?” ”Father!” Tie Wushuang looked at his father in shock. ”You mean … training in the ways of the sword?”

”Hahahaha …” Unexpectedly, Tie Lanyun threw his head back and laughed, ”Ai, what old business! ”Now that I've gotten my year's worth of knowledge, it's going to be difficult even if I wanted to …”

”Then dad, your meaning is …” Iris was confused.

”Haha — — Aiya, my meaning is very simple — —” Iron Lantern sat back down at the table and stroked his clothes, ”I just want to see, from now on, Iron Sword Villa will no longer exist in the martial arts world. Our family will live in peace and quiet. ”When we find the blacksmith from the past, we'll open a blacksmith shop. We'll just have to be able to live on …”

”Ah?!” Iron Cliff grinned. ”Father's suggestion is very good, I agree! ”Aiya, I like living the lives of ordinary people!”

”Is that true?!” Tie Wushuang looked at Tie Xiaoyun with disbelief. ”This is the foundation of your life! ”You can bear to lose it all at once?”

”Hahahaha …” Tie Xiaoyun laughed loudly and said, ”The world is as flashy as a passing cloud. Look at your big brother Lin —” As he said that, he turned around and said seriously, ”To be able to live a peaceful life is what we commoners pursue. The greatest happiness is a deep affection … ”So, I've thought it through. I plan to be able to share my happiness with all of you in the remaining years of my life. Then, I'll be satisfied …”

”Uh!” Tie Wushuang finally understood what his father meant, ”It's rare for father to be so open-minded! I'd rather be a blacksmith! ”Haha …”

”Yeah, big brother Lin, just agree to father burying master in Iron Sword Villa!” Rui-Mei opened her eyes wide and looked at Lin Xuanzi with anticipation, ”If that's really the case, then we can be together with Master everyday? Isn't that what you want? ”

”Er — —” Lin Xuanzi did not expect that Tie Xiaoyun would make such an arrangement, and for a moment he felt deeply surprised. However, what followed was even more guilt. Because he knew that everything Manor Lord Tie said was for his own sake. Lin Xuanzi could not accept the fact that, after wandering for a lifetime without a home to settle down, he had already brought many troubles to the Iron Sword Villa, and now, for his sake, the Iron Sword Villa actually had to give up on their family's hundred years of foundation.

”Sigh, thank you, Elder Iron!” Lin Xuanzi was excited to the point that his face turned red. He said with a dull tone, ”However, this junior has already brought many inconvenience to the villa. Moreover, I still have many things to take care of. More importantly, I must find Xue'er …”

”Sigh!” ”Brother Lin!” Before Lin Xuanzi could finish, he saw Tie Wushuang jump over, slapping his hands on his chest, ”To be honest, I, Tie Wushuang, have never admired anyone before. However, I must say, you are the first person I admire from the bottom of my heart! ”How about this, you don't need to reject it. Although this Iron Sword Villa is not the world's largest village, I believe that as long as you stay here for a while, heh, I guarantee that you will like it here …” Tie Wushuang wrapped his arms around her as he glanced at Tie Rumei. ”As for Xue'er, don't worry. I will definitely find her even if we have to go to the mountain of sabers and the sea of flames!” Okay? Besides, there was someone else who didn't want you to leave! ”Haha …”

”Humph!” Tie Rumei glared at Tie Wushuang angrily, but walked to Lin Xuanzi's side and said, ”Brother Lin, just agree to Father's request! ”Ahhh … when all these arrangements have been made, I will accompany you to find Xue'er …” Tie Rukuang did not wish for Lin Xuanzi to leave. If he really could stay at Steel Manor, then he would be happier than anything else.
