Chapter 37 Missing
Chapter 37 Missing
After a while, Luo Jin adjusted his appearance, wiped away his tears, took a deep breath, turned around, and bowed. "Thank you, Young Master Lin, for your kindness. I, Luo Jin, will not forget it, and my family is indebted to you for life."
Lin Lee raised his hand, straightened him up using his aura, shook his head helplessly, and replied, "I already told you not to bow in front of me; I didn't do it for a debt."
Luo Jin was startled, then nodded and sighed in relief.
At this moment, "Father, there are a few people outside our house," Luo Mi hurriedly trotted inside the guest hall and informed with her milky voice.
"Young Master Lin Lee, wait for a while; let me see the situation," Luo Jin said thoughtfully. Lin Lee nodded, and then Luo Jin walked outside.
Luo Jin appeared outside his house, looking at the few unknown figures. There was also a young man wearing a golden brocade among them.
"How can I help you?" Luo Jin asked doubtfully.
Looking at Luo Jin, the young man opened the hand fan in front of his face and spoke, pointing at the Void boat floating above. "Can you call the owner of this Void boat outside?"
"Well, I am the owner of this boat. What do you want?" A voice sounded from behind Luo Jin.
Step!!
Lin Lee walked outside calmly, looking at them puzzled. 'Who are they? a master, and three innate.'
"Nice to meet you, true disciple Lin. I amYang Han, the Crown Prince of the Four Elephant Empire. On behalf of Emperor Yang, I invite your highness Lin to our royal palace," Yang Han said respectfully, bowing a little. The other figures beside him, an old man in a blue brocade robe and two middle-aged guards behind him, also bowed.
Lin Lee raised his brow, then asked doubtfully, "How do you know my name?"
Crown Prince, startled, then replied respectfully, "One of the leaf peak inner disciples is my aunt, and she informed us about your visit to our Empire. Also, we are here to mark the village, which is declared under the protection of the Xuan Immortal Sect."
Lin Lee glanced at him deeply. 'An inner disciple informed them. Why do I feel like I have missed something?' Then he shook his head. "I am sorry, I can't visit the royal palace. I will leave the empire soon. Thanks for the invitation. As for the village you are talking about, it's this Luo Village."
Yang Han was surprised, then nodded. "Okay, your excellency Lin, we will take care of this village. Also, here is the meeting gift from my father." After passing him the gift respectfully, they left after saying goodbye.
Lin Lee and Luo Jin glanced at each other, looking at the small box in his hand. Lin Lee opened it, looking at the golden plant lying inside. It was a lotus flower with golden petals and long, greenish roots.
A surprised expression appeared on his face. "Golden Acacia flower," he muttered thoughtfully, then put it away in his bead spirit. 'Why did they give me a third-order medicine as a meeting gift? Maybe he wants to have a good connection with me.' he thought doubtfully.
...
After staying for a while in Luo Village, Lin Lee boarded the leaf boat along with Luo Li and her family. Looking at small Luo Mi happily running around, looking at everything curiously and in amazement, he smiled and shook his head.
Soon, they returned to the sect direction.
The Luo family was shocked looking at the sect domain, the land below, and those floating peaks.
Lin Lee parked the void boat in the land below, just below the leaf peak, then glanced at the open hilly area and lake beside it.
He turned and looked at Luo Jin and his wife, Zhou Xi, asking, "Is this place fine for your residence? Also, this land is perfect for a field. You can grow and sell products to the sect. The sect will provide tools, seeds, and materials."
Lin Lee then glanced at other towns around. All of these families belong to Core and True rank disciples on Leaf Peak. Only True and Core disciple families are allowed to live in the sect domain. Outer or inner disciple families and villages will be protected in their own empire and kingdom.
"I understand. Thank you, your excellency Lin," Luo Jin thanked understandingly. His wife and Luo Li also nodded gratefully.
Lin Lee then nodded and informed the sect about the hill below. In a while, different disciples appeared belonging to Earth Peak. They manage all land processing tasks inside and outside the sect.
Then they started developing the land. Lin Lee was surprised by their proficiency. All of them had a matching martial spirit. Some had earth, some had water, andsome had wood. Slowly, a house and a reclaimed field appeared in their vision.
"Senior Brother Lin, our task has been completed. You can inform us if you need extra services," the inner disciple of Earth Peak spoke politely, clasping his hand, then left, boarding the floating beast they arrived upon.
Lin Lee then settled the Luo family and left, returning to his residence. Just beside the door,
Instantly, a small figure shot out from his residence like a star and stroked his stomach.
Lin Lee felt a prick on his stomach, realized what he was missing all this time, and then grabbed the small Xing in his palm. Looking at it angrily rolling around in his palm, also with tears flickering in its tiny eyes, a wry smile appeared on his face. He spoke apologetically, "I am sorry, Xing; I left you alone. But why did you not visit me when I ended my retreat?"
Xing halted, and fear flashed through its eyes. It turned and glanced in a direction, then glanced at Lin Lee and poked its little head in that direction as if aiming at something.
Lin Lee suspiciously glanced in the direction she was pointing at, looking at a figure standing and looking in another direction, whistling.
His brow furrowed, then he spoke calmly, "Senior sister Liu, this is the last time you have done that. I want you to stay away from Xing. Everything has limits." After speaking, he rubbed Xing, then walked inside his residence.
Liu Rong was startled, looking at Lin Lee's expressionless back. 'It seems I overdid it; I wanted to tame it but failed.' Then she became depressed and guilty.
"What happened, little sister?" Yan Xin's voice sounded like she appeared to be floating.
"Sister Xin, your younger brother is angry," Liu Rong said guiltily.
"What did you do?" Yan Xin asked in return, staring at her.
Liu Rong's face turned red, then she turned her eyes and replied, "Nothing; I just wanted to play with the starry beast, so I borrowed it for a few days."
"Ouch, Sister Xin, please don't pull it. My ear size will become unbalanced," Liu Rong spoke, grabbing Yan Xin's arm and begging with tears, feeling her ear was going to be pulled out by Yan Xin.
"Come with me and apologize," Yan Xin said angrily. Without releasing her ear, she let her walk near the Lin Lee residence entrance. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Little Brother Lin Lee, save me! I am sorry, I won't dare anymore," Liu Rong hurriedly shouted, tears falling from her eyes.
Lin Lee speechlessly appeared beside the door, looking at Liu Rong crying and also looking at Yan Xin pulling and rotating her ear.
"Little brother, don't forgive her. I am going to pull her ear today. In the future, she will be called One Ear Liu," Yan Xin said angrily.
Liu Rong's face turned pale and frightened. She hurriedly started crying more. "I am sorry; I won't dare anymore."
Lin Lee glanced at her tearful eyes and spoke helplessly, "Senior Sister Yan Xin, let her go. I am not angry now," Lin Lee said.
"Humph, Liu Rong, next time, don't you dare to anger your younger brother," Yan Xin released her and warned her like an angry lioness.
Liu Rong hurriedly nodded timidly, rubbing her ear, then rubbed her tears away and cleared her face, bowing and standing aside like a silent sheep.
Lin Lee glanced at Liu Rong thoughtfully in admiration. 'Although she is naughty, spoiled, and always does something bad, this girl respects other senior sisters very much. She didn't even resist once while Senior Sister Xin was pulling her ears.'
Hiss!!!
Xing flew, then appeared on Lin Lee's shoulder, rubbing her head with his neck, looking at Liu Rong and Yan Xin vigilantly.
"Don't worry, she won't bully you again." Lin Lee rubbed her head with his fingers.
"Little Brother, is this your pet starry beast? It's very beautiful." Yan Xin spoke kindly, walking and appearing beside him. Xing instantly became frightened; it hurriedly leapt from behind and appeared on Lin Lee's other shoulder, hiding behind his neck.
Lin Lee's pupil shrank. He glanced at Yan Xin, then, with a smile, grabbed Xing in his palm. He rubbed her head and said, "Indeed, she is beautiful. I call her Xing."
