It was night, in the side room of the Lin Mansion.

Because there weren't many rooms in the mansion, all the experts from the Renhuang Pavilion stayed together. Wu Wang and the other three were assigned to two rooms.

The steward of the Lin Mansion originally intended for Wu Wang to share a room with the Great Elder, and for the two fairy maidens to share another room. However, the Great Elder, Lin Suqing, and Mu Da Xian all gathered in Wu Wang's room and showed no intention of leaving.

The Great Elder had also become transcendent now, standing tall and confident in protecting the little golden dragon. He was determined to personally guard the Sect Master in all aspects for twelve hours.

Lin Suqing had just finished making the bed for the young master when Mu Da Xian jumped onto it, bouncing around under the blanket and playfully pulling Lin Suqing.

The scene was like a warm spring night in a hibiscus tent, with disheveled hair and a slanted hairpin.

They didn't need to sleep or rest, only waiting for any changes in the frontlines of the Northern Territory, and then respond accordingly.

Wu Wang drank the tea brought by the Lin Mansion's maidservant and smiled, "Leaving aside everything else, this General Lin Nu Hao is truly knowledgeable in military strategy and tactics. His plans and arrangements are well-organized."

The Great Elder stroked his beard and smiled, "He is not as good as the Sect Master."

"Military formations and battle formations are both profound studies," Wu Wang smiled, "I only took advantage of some experience and occasionally came up with a useful idea. If I were to lead the army, it would definitely be a mess. This General Lin is truly remarkable to have achieved such accomplishments."

The Great Elder pondered for a moment and transmitted his voice, "Sect Master, I always feel that this person seems to deliberately show hostility towards you. There may be other calculations behind it."

"What can the Lin Family calculate against me?"

Wu Wang casually grabbed a wooden stool and propped his legs on it.

Without a reclining chair, it was still not comfortable enough.

He said, "I treat Lin Qi sincerely. If Lin Qi is unable to continue being friends with us due to his family, then I will help him if he needs it."

The Great Elder reminded, "Sect Master, sometimes being too righteous will only make you suffer."

Wu Wang rested his hands behind his head and slouched down, laughing, "In this lifetime, it is enough to be true to oneself, to friends, to partners, and to one's country."

"Indeed," the Great Elder smiled faintly, with a hint of emotion in his eyes. He whispered, "Looking back, I suddenly feel that the one I have wronged the most is Cui Jiao, sigh..."

Wu Wang took out two small jars of wine, and the Great Elder smiled as he accepted them, "Rare to see the Sect Master in such a good mood."

Of course, walking and drinking, the two of them were good friends. Later, they would have Lin Suqing play the erhu and reveal the worries in the Great Elder's heart directly.

Wonderful.

"Great Elder, what do you think..."

"Ask a question!"

Mu Da Xian shouted from the side, poking his head out from under the covers, grinning and showing his two small tiger teeth.

"Do you want to hear what Lin Nu Hao is saying to Lin Qi?"

Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "Eavesdropping is somewhat improper."

Mu Da Xian propped up his chin and swung his raised leg, wondering, "Aren't you afraid that your friend will get beaten? They are arguing now."

"How did you hear that?"

Wu Wang and the Great Elder both took a sip of wine, becoming interested.

"Look at this!"

Like showing off, Mu Da Xian stretched out his little hand, and several butterfly-sized nails appeared in his palm.

These butterflies were almost transparent, without any spiritual energy fluctuations. If it weren't for Wu Wang staring at Mu Da Xian's small hand, it would be difficult to notice them.

Mu Da Xian smiled, "These are treasures from the Four Seas Pavilion, specially used for investigation. I've already sent one butterfly over. If I use it, even transcendent beings won't notice. Each of you can hold one butterfly tightly, and then you can hear."

Wu Wang and Lin Suqing opened their hands, and a butterfly floated down into each of their palms, which they held tightly as instructed.

The Great Elder raised a barrier with his hand, but did not reach out to catch the butterfly flying towards him.

The weak spiritual consciousness fluctuations from the butterfly transmitted some blurry images to the three of them.

It was like looking through three layers of frosted glass, only able to see rough figures, but their voices could be heard clearly.

At this moment, in a study room in the backyard of the Lin Mansion, wrapped in an array, Lin Nu Hao, Lin Qi, and a middle-aged woman with a beautiful face were talking about something.

Lin Qi knelt in front of the desk, Lin Nu Hao stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window, and the woman lowered her head, biting her lips, seemingly shedding tears.

Wu Wang focused his mind, and Lin Qi's voice became much clearer, talking about his experiences with Wu Wang in the Mysterious Female Sect.

However, Lin Qi intentionally concealed his friendship with Wu Wang and Ling Xian, fearing that it would cause trouble for his teacher.

"Father, I think what the teacher said makes sense. I think what the teacher did is for the Human Realm, for the human race! How can it be wrong for me to worship him as my teacher?"

"Worship a peer as your teacher?"

Lin Nu Hao clenched his fist, coldly saying, "Is this how I taught you? I told you to strive for excellence in everything, not to lower your status! I let you compete in everything, not to make you degrade yourself! They will think you have a narrow mind and no ambition! They will think you won't achieve anything!"

"Father!"

Lin Qi took a deep breath, "At that time, I was extremely happy in my heart. I just wanted to show off to Ji Mo, I didn't think much about anything else!"

Lin Nu Hao almost kicked him out, gritting his teeth and cursing, "Do I have to tell you word by word how to show a broad mind, how to show lofty aspirations? If I don't tell you what to do next, will you be unable to do anything? You don't understand anything!""Why did I give birth to such a useless person like you!"

"Father," Lin Qi closed his eyes, his voice calm, "From childhood to now, I have always done as you said without any complaints.

I didn't know how to make friends before, so I didn't know how to befriend Ji Mo. Instead, I have always been at odds with him.

I was just envious of how he could interact with people so easily, and I also wanted to get close to him.

I don't know how to express my joy from the bottom of my heart, I only know how to compare and compete with him! Isn't that what you taught me, father?

Father, have you really taught me anything other than striving to be the best and winning in competitions?"

Lin angrily scolded, "Did you read those books I asked you to read in vain?"

Lin Qi stood up, his eyes widened, bloodshot veins filled his eyes, and he said firmly, "Since I was young, have I ever been allowed to make half a friend?"

Lin angrily paced back and forth, pointing at Lin Qi's nose and cursing, "If the Heavenly Emperor wants to pass on the throne, does he care about how many friends you have?

The Heavenly Emperor cares about your talent! Your potential! With me, your father, behind you, you don't need anyone else! If they don't submit, I will help you conquer the Human Realm!

What the Human Realm needs is the strongest who can contend with the Heavenly Emperor. What use are your friends, no matter how many you have!

I have achieved what I have today by killing my way back from the border with a sword!

I have fought against gods dozens of times, and only by narrowly escaping death each time did the Lin family achieve what it is today!"

Lin Qi's voice trembled slightly as he whispered, "So, in order for me to reach the position of the Heavenly Emperor, father sent assassins to the Kingdom of Women to tarnish Ji Mo's reputation!"

"Ji Mo is nothing!

Did I lower myself to scheme against him? Even when his father was alive, he couldn't compare to me!"

Lin angrily turned red, his neck thick like a raging lion, roaring and howling, but his raised hand could never land on Lin Qi.

"Kneel down... kneel down!"

Lin Qi turned his head and looked to the side, but he stubbornly refused to kneel.

Lin angrily raised his hand to strike, but Lin Qi closed his eyes and concentrated, his eyes filled with sadness.

Fortunately, a woman rushed up to stop him, crying and holding onto Lin angrily's arm, constantly calling him 'husband'.

Lin angrily trembled with anger, shouting, "Get out! Get out!"

Lin Qi bowed and turned to the formation at the door, but before leaving, he turned to look at Lin angrily.

Lin angrily waved his sleeve, turned his head, and looked out the window.

Lin Qi took a deep breath and whispered, "Father, we have never had a proper conversation.

Today, you intentionally targeted my teacher, and I am dissatisfied with it. I hope father can apologize to my teacher.

Father, I am no longer a child, nor am I a puppet in your hands. If you think you made a mistake in giving birth to me and that I am unfilial, I will take my own life and no longer be able to show filial piety."

Lin's mother hurriedly said, "What are you saying, you foolish child?"

Lin Qi shook his head, then suddenly laughed, a self-deprecating smile on his face.

"Father, you will never listen to what I have to say. Your family is in the military, not with me and mother.

But father, there are some things I still want to say.

Even if I strive for the position of the Heavenly Emperor in the future, it will be for myself, for the Human Realm, not for the regrets in your heart.

Three hundred years ago, His Majesty rejected you, I know this is a hidden pain in your heart, but father.

His Majesty will not choose a useless person who can't even step out of his father's shadow to be the pillar of the Human Realm, no matter how talented he is, whether he is a hundred-year Heavenly Immortal or a fifty-year Heavenly Immortal!

This is what my teacher guided me to understand!

I also want to risk my life to protect the Human Realm!"

After speaking, Lin Qi bowed deeply, holding back his tears, pushed open the door, and ran out of the large formation surrounding the study.

Lin angrily frowned tightly, and after Lin Qi left, he took a step back and sat somewhat weakly in the chair, his gaze somewhat dazed.

After a while, Lin angrily muttered, "What did he just say to me?"

The woman hurriedly said, "Husband, he didn't mean it, he was influenced by others, don't blame him... we only have this one child..."

"Haha, hahaha!"

Lin angrily's laughter was somewhat hoarse as he waved his hand, "Leave me alone, let me be alone for a while."

"Husband..."

"Leave."

The woman's body trembled slightly, but she could only bow her head and leave, walking towards the door of the study.

But just as she reached the door, Lin angrily's voice came from behind, saying:

"Disband the cultivators you secretly nurtured. Those who achieve great things don't need the methods of a woman like you. Later, you personally go to the Ji family and apologize for the incident in the Kingdom of Women."

"Husband, this matter is not caused by me..."

"Who else, besides you and me, would plan something like this for him?"

Lin angrily leaned forward slightly, his expression indescribably gloomy and terrifying. Even though the woman had been his companion for many years, her face still turned pale, and she dared not meet Lin angrily's gaze.

"In these years, I have seen all the little tricks you've played, and I know your family has some influence. You have put in a lot of effort for Lin Qi.

But, my dear, don't you think your family has been too active recently?

Do you need me to remind them a bit?"

"Husband, I will make them restrain themselves!"

"No one can stop my son from ascending to the position of the Heavenly Emperor."

Lin angrily said calmly, "Even if the position of the Heavenly Emperor is passed on to someone else, I can still put the Human Realm in his hands.

Lin Qi's current state is quite good. Today, he was able to say such things, indicating that he has grown a lot recently. That Master Wuwang is indeed quite capable, and in the future, I can worry less about him.

But remember, my son can also have other mothers, some backgrounds that are not too complicated, not thinking about investing in my son and gaining more from him.

Do you understand?"Mrs. Lin's face was pale as she bowed and left the room. After stepping outside, she took a deep breath and calmly walked towards the distant bedroom.

In the study, Lin Nuhao sat quietly, his face gradually disappearing into the darkness, but the smile at the corner of his mouth became more pronounced.

......

In the side room, Wu Wang, Lin Suqing, and Master Mu looked at each other. Master Mu held down the butterfly in her hand.

Lin Suqing whispered, "Isn't this a bit too rebellious... Even if the throne of the Human Emperor is passed on to someone else, it can still put the Human Realm in his hands..."

Master Mu dismissed it with a sneer, "Many major forces have this idea, it's nothing."

"He's a ruthless man," Wu Wang opened his hand, and the butterfly flew back into Master Mu's palm. He sat there and quietly admired.

He suddenly understood why Lin Nuhao would deliberately target him.

Wu Wang had been puzzled before.

From the time Wu Wang, Ji Mo, Ling Xiaolan, and Lin Qi were punished to join the army, Lin Nuhao had definitely sent people to monitor their every move and knew what had happened to them in the army.

Lin Qi called him teacher before he returned home last time, but Lin Nuhao still let Lin Qi go to the sect for cultivation, and even sent two Heavenly Immortal realm peak masters.

If Lin Nuhao really wanted to confront him, the teacher, he would have troubled the sect earlier.

So why did Lin Nuhao deliberately target him today and show him who's boss?

To make him complacent, thinking that Lin Nuhao was nothing more than that? Or was there another calculation?

Wu Wang's eyes flickered with a hint of light, and he was constantly deducing various possibilities in his heart.

Wu Wang didn't know what Lin Nuhao was thinking for the time being, but if Lin Nuhao really came to their side room to apologize, then this General Lin's scheming...

Was bottomless!

Wu Wang looked at Master Mu and smiled, "Give me a few pairs of these butterflies."

Master Mu hid her small hand behind her back and quickly said, "No! We only have three pairs! And it took a lot of effort to get them!"

"Look," Wu Wang spread his hands, "I'll trade you one pair of butterflies for three big exercise books. It's not a bad deal."

"I don't want to do exercises! It's a loss!"

"I'm not asking you to do exercises!" Wu Wang's face was full of seriousness, "I'll trade you one pair of butterflies for the exemption rights of three big exercise books.

That is, when you need to do these three big exercise books, you can use this exemption right to choose not to do.

How about it?"

Master Mu thought carefully, her little face full of light. She took out a brocade box, put two butterflies in it, and floated in front of Wu Wang.

"Here, for you!"

Wu Wang:……

Support us at pawread.com .

Suddenly, he felt a deep sense of guilt.

At this moment, the Great Elder said, "Someone is coming."

Wu Wang immediately took the brocade box and put it into the innermost storage treasure.

Master Mu put the remaining three butterflies into the brocade box, let the fourth butterfly that was sent out turn into spiritual energy and disappear, jumped into the quilt and hid, her eyes full of guilt.

Thump, thump thump——

The knock on the door came, and a deep baritone voice came from outside.

"General Lin Nuhao... I don't know if Sect Master Wu Wang has rested."

He's really here!

Wu Wang coughed and said loudly, "I haven't rested yet, I'm learning cultivation methods from the Great Elder. Great Elder, please remove the barrier."

"Good," the Great Elder agreed without changing his expression, and Lin Suqing immediately stepped forward and opened the wooden door.

Lin Nuhao slowly stepped into the room, his face showing a hint of sadness. He chuckled a few times, reopened a barrier, and looked at Wu Wang with complex eyes.

He said, "Sect Master Wu Wang... I, as a general, don't seem to understand my own son..."

Wu Wang secretly cursed in his heart. This Lin Nuhao was too advanced, he had calculated everything from the first time he saw him.

First offend, then apologize, and by the way, get closer. Wu Wang had used this method when he was dealing with young masters in the North Wilderness.

Was Lin Nuhao using him as a stepping stone for Lin Qi?

Wu Wang suddenly wanted to rush back to the sect in the middle of the night. He really didn't want to calculate with such an old... scheming person.

But he still had to respond.

Wu Wang smiled and said, "Why does the general say that?"

"My son and I had a big fight," Lin Nuhao's smile was full of self-mockery, and his eyes were a bit straight, "He pointed at my nose and called me despicable and shameless, saying that I was just imposing my own wishes on him.

I... sigh."

With a long sigh, he expressed the bitterness and helplessness of a father.

Wu Wang and Lin Suqing only felt their scalps tingling, and Master Mu simply hid in the quilt and didn't show her face.

If he really had the ambition to compete for the throne of the Human Emperor, this 'son-obsessed' Lin Nuhao would definitely be a formidable opponent!

Fortunately, his heart was with the daughter of the Human Emperor, and his roots were in the North Wilderness.

"General," Wu Wang looked serious, stood up and walked with Lin Nuhao to the window, whispering, "I really need to talk to you about this. Lin Qi has a serious Dao heart demon!

Educating children is also a deep subject!"

Lin Nuhao bowed his hand and sighed, "Please tell me more, Sect Master Wu Wang. I have been commanding the northwest of the Human Realm for so many years, but I don't understand this. I did it all for his good, but in the end, father and son became enemies."

"Sigh, you can't blame the general entirely..."

Wu Wang sighed softly, and he had already organized a lot of words in his heart. Today, he would have a parenting heart-to-heart talk with Lin Nuhao.

To convey a new concept of education, let Lin Qi win at the second starting line!

After a while, Master Mu poked her head out of the quilt and exchanged a glance with Lin Suqing.

Their scalps tingled even more, and there were only two of them left.
