After parting for a year, they would meet again. Good wine and good dishes were naturally inevitable.

Not long after, another delicate and sumptuous table was set up. During this time, Lin Zhenbang and Talking about the Old Man wanted to know where Lin Jin had gone to this year, but they were all left in a daze by Lin Jin.

Seeing that Lin Jin was unwilling to speak, they knew that his character was like that, so they did not ask anymore and only toasted him with wine and food.

It was hard for him to refuse their kindness. He couldn't say that he had already eaten, so he had no choice but to drink with them. On the other hand, A Huang specially made someone to make a big pot of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs for it to chew with relish.

After a while, the person who went to invite Lin Chen returned, but other than him, there was no trace of Lin Chen.

Lin Zhenbang asked suspiciously, ”Little Zhang, where's Lin Chen? Why is he not here? ”

”This!” Xiao Zhang hesitated and said, ”I called him Young Master Chen, but he didn't have any reaction. Sitting by the lake by himself, he seemed to be in a daze.”

”Did you say her brother was here?”

”Yes, but no matter what I say, he doesn't seem to hear me. I didn't dare to pull him, so I had to come back. ” Xiao Zhang said gloomily.

”This child, I'll go call him!” Lin Zhenbang heard and was about to get up.

Lin Jin immediately pulled him back, and laughed: ”Uncle, there's no need to go, Xiao Zhang did the right thing and didn't pull him. I think Chen Chen probably has some sort of comprehension towards this, it's not good for you to go and wake him up like this.

”En, Xiao Jin is right. Old Lin, you don't have to be too orderly with their matters. Walking on their path, there are many things that ordinary people like us can't handle. Let nature take its course! Eat, eat.

”Talking about the Old Man also said on the side.

”Ai, I know about that, but he's my son after all!” Lin Zhenbang sighed, he then started to eat, obviously, he was unhappy.

Thinking about it, it was indeed true that it was rare for Lin Jin, who treated his own son as his own son, to see him once a few years ago. Now that his own son was cultivating in seclusion, it would be hard for him to go down the mountain again in two to three months. As a father, how could he be happy?

It was fine that he did not see it in the past, but now that he saw it in such a state, Lin Jin also felt upset. He thought to himself: I have been out for a long time, and although my goal is the boundless Heavenly Dao, it is also his most persistent and unrepentant decision.

However, he was far from those ordinary people who were rolling around in the field of fame and fortune.

Although cultivating the Dao was most afraid of being tied down by the word 'desire', this was only a taboo when cultivating the Dao; a taboo when one's mind was divided and their will would go berserk.

Since ancient times, there have been people who said: ”There are no unfaithful and unfilial deities in this world!”

Could it be that it was all on him? Cultivation of the Dao and adoption of a blood relation could not be completed in both ends?

Watching them age day by day and losing their spirits by day, was there really no other way?

He sipped the wine. Lin Jin's brows wrinkled, and his frown deepened.

A depressing atmosphere arose spontaneously in the banquet. For a moment, it was so heavy that people couldn't breathe. There was no longer the joyous feeling of a traveller returning from a faraway place.

Seeing them acting like this, Xu Yi didn't dare to interrupt and could only bury his head into his mouth and take small bites of the rice.

Good. Not long after, a voice filled with surprise came from afar, ”Father, Grandfather, is Big Brother here? Where is he? ”

Along the way, he heard people calling him ”Master Chen” from time to time.

”Hehe, Chen Chen is here!” Hearing this voice, Lin Zhenbang and the Talking about the Old Man finally revealed a smile.

”Someone, come over and add a pair of chopsticks.” The Talking about the Old Man ordered.

However, Lin Jin was still frowning and thinking. It was as if he was not the least bit interested in Lin Chen's arrival.

Not long later. Sure enough, a figure rushed into the house like a whirlwind and saw Lin Jin. Surprise was written all over his face.

”Dad, talk about grandpa!” He first greeted them. Seeing that the other person seated on the seat was indeed Lin Jin, Lin Chen was full of excitement. ”Big brother, you're finally back!”

Hearing his brother's voice, Lin Jin finally reacted. Sensing the zhenqi on his brother's body that was not weak, Lin Jin smiled: ”En, I'm back.”

He pointed to Xu Yi and said: ”This is my disciple Xu Yi, Xiao Yi, called Martial Uncle.”

Xu Yi immediately cried out obediently, ”Good morning, Martial Uncle!”

He secretly felt around and felt a huge wave of Spiritual Energy fluctuations from Martial Uncle. Although it was still far from his master's level, it was far from what he could compare to.

So, this is Master's little brother! He could not help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.
