157 Chapter 157 Lin Yihan (2/2)
Seeing Lin Xulian's seriousness and eagerness, the King sighed defeated. ”Then start the preparation Clan Head Gu.” The King commanded. Gu Lingdao just bowed in acknowledgement.
”My King, this one will also start the preparation for the investigation.” Clan Head Mo interrupted.
”Hmm…As for the Fanrong country, Yihan is there. You can approach him first to narrow down the investigation.” The King informed him.
”Yihan?” Lin Xulian asked. For some reason, she finds the name familiar.
”Your father's younger cousin, Lin Yihan. I met him almost a decade ago when he entered the country for his pursuit in greater martial art. A Feng bird chose him as its master. That's how I knew he is a Lin. He even stayed for a few years. Do you know him?””Right! Father mentioned him before. But I have never met him.” Saying up to this point, Lin Xulian realized a crucial point. ”Then why did you not give him the throne? Father said he is strong. He could definitely be a great King.”
The King sighed and shook his head. ”He declined. Also that kid is no good. He said he would never get married. Apparently he lost someone he really loved and promised he would never love someone else. Also, he is not someone who could stay in one place for a long time. His adventurous Lin bloodline is too strong. As for Lin Huang, aside from his potential as what Hu Hai said, he already has a family. So he is the best candidate.” The King explained.
”That make sense. Big brother would also love to stay here and train to his heart's content. I am the adventurous one after all.” Lin Xulian replied with a shrug. Her curiosity towards her uncle also intensified. 'Another dedicated man aside from Feng Jun Yi's master. I'd like to meet him one day.' She thought. The story of Feng Jun Yi's master and mother subconsciously entered her mind.
”Princess, me and Gu Rin will go back to the village first today and prepare everything. You can follow tomorrow. You should spend some time with the King since he can't come to the village.” Gu Lingdao said before leaving with Gu Rin. Hu Min and Hu Hai also followed out to give the two some time together. Lin Xulian didn't disagree but her face showed obvious uneasiness.
”Are you unwilling to spend some time with your great granduncle?” Lin Zuizhong interrupted.
Seeing his deadpan but obviously trying to act like an attention seeking child face, Lin Xulian's mouth twitched. This manner is too much like her big brother Huang. Her big brother is probably really suited for the throne. ”It's not that great granduncle. I'm just getting anxious. The more time I stay here doing nothing, the Xing brother and sister are already messing the Gonglu country. They even have the Gu poison as their vicious weapon.”
Lin Zuizhong eyed her for a few moments before he responded. ”If you are worried about emperor Feng, you can stop worrying now. I gave him an accessory made from the black stone. It can protect him from the Gu poison. As long as he wears it, he won't be affected.”
Hearing this, Lin Xulian's eyes widened. ”It can protect someone from the Gu poison?! But he gave it to Ying'er, his younger brother! It means he is vulnerable against that woman's vicious hands!” Lin Xulian exclaimed worriedly. Then she eyed the accessories that her grand granduncle is wearing. ”Great granduncle, can you send him one more bracelet? Even a ring will do.”
Lin Zuizhong raised his eyebrows at Lin Xulian's reaction. ”You cared about him that much? I thought you said there is no romantic relationship between you two?”
Lin Xulian stiffened. ”He is a friend and I care about his well-being. An entire country depends on him.” She justified.
Lin Zuizhong didn't believe her but chose not to pry. ”If you say so. I'll give him another one.” He said while patting her head dotingly.
