Lin Feng stayed in Wushan township for more than ten days. He wasn't even in a hurry to return to the Ernst Institute when the next semester started. Hogg didn't urge Lin Feng to go to the academy.
On the Wushan Mountain in the east of Wushan Town, Lin Feng sat cross-legged beside the gurgling stream, meditating and refining his magic power.
The earth and wind elements seeped into Lin Feng's body from every part of his body. His bones, muscles, and meridians naturally absorbed the elements to improve his constitution. After absorbing a small part of the earth and wind elements, most of them were refined and finally flowed into the dantian in his chest.
All the elements flowing through the meridians in his body were finally gathered here.
Lin Feng sat there for half a day. When he opened his eyes, the sun had already set.
"It's time to return to the academy. Since I'm not going to stop Father's decision, then let him understand his wishes.”Lin Feng stood up and let out a long breath, then walked towards the Baruch clan's estate.
Entering the Baruch clan estate, Lin Feng immediately saw his father reading a book."Father, it's getting dark. Let's wait until tomorrow to read the books.”
"Oh, Lin Feng is back." Hogg smiled as he closed the book." What you said makes sense. I'll read it tomorrow.”
"Lin Feng, you must be thirsty after cultivating outside for so long.”Hogg picked up the kettle on the coffee table and poured a cup of water." Here, moisten your throat. The temperature of this water is just right. It's neither hot nor cold.”
"Thank you, Father." Lin Feng's heart warmed, but then he remembered that he would be separated from his father tomorrow. His heart ached.
This was how Hogg had treated Lin Feng for the past ten days. But in the past, Hogg had always been serious. He rarely showed such a warm side.
While drinking tea, Lin Feng said,""Father, I've been home for quite some time now. I'm preparing to go to the academy tomorrow.”
"Tomorrow?”Hogg was slightly startled, then nodded. At the end of this year, you have to come back early.”
"Yes." Lin Feng replied.
"Lin Feng," Hogg instructed softly,"your father isn't very capable. In the future, the clan will depend on you. The hundred thousand gold coins you gave me should be enough for your little brother's expenses in the O'Brien Empire. At this point, I am already very satisfied. It's just that in my heart, I still forget the humiliation of our family. I hope you don't forget that our family's legacy treasure is still outside.”
Lin Feng could feel his father's expectations for him. He took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
"Right now, I have no other desires. I only wish to see the warblade 'Slaughterer' before I die.”Hogg's voice was very low.
Lin Feng felt that the atmosphere wasn't right, so he immediately said,""Father, don't be so negative. You're only forty years old now. I am confident that in less than ten years, I will definitely bring the warblade 'Slaughterer' back and place it in the clan's main hall.”
"Ten years, good, good." Hogg nodded lightly.
……
The next day, Lin Feng left Wushan township at noon. That night, in the Baruch clan's living room, there were two people sitting there. They were Hogg and Hillman. The door to the living room was tightly shut, and the magicite core of the first generation was placed on the dining table.
Hillman was stunned by the bag of magicite cores, and Hogg said,"Hillman, I'll be selling these magicite cores in the near future, and I hope you can keep these gold coins for me.”
Hillman immediately came to his senses and hurriedly said,"Lord Hogg, no, how can you hand over such a large fortune to me? Can't you control it yourself?"
"Hillman, don't call me Lord Hogg. Just call me Big Brother Hogg.”Hogg smiled kindly.
Suddenly, Hogg stood up and faced the east."You said I'm in charge? Haha…Hillman, you probably know the most about our Baruch clan and about me, Hogg.”
Hillman was startled. He didn't know why Hogg had mentioned this.
"That matter has been buried deep in my heart for almost eleven years. In these eleven years, I felt like my heart was being bitten by ants. I have been enduring it, day after day, year after year…In the blink of an eye, eleven years have passed.”
Hogg's entire body began to tremble.
Hillman's blue color changed, and he stood up abruptly. He said in shock,"Lord Hogg, you want it?"
"Yes, I must investigate what happened back then and avenge Lina.”Hillman's face was ferocious and filled with killing intent.
"Lord Hogg." Hillman quickly said," Didn't we check back then? The enemy's forces were very large. Just finding out that part was already very terrifying. If you investigate, you might lose your life.”
"Die?" Hogg growled. I'm afraid of death? Hillman, you have no idea how much pain I've been through these past eleven years. I've had enough. The 100,000 gold that Lin Feng gave me is more than enough for Wharton's expenses. With this sum of gold coins, I don't have any burdens anymore.”
"All these years, I've been enduring. Why? He had two sons. Now that Lin Feng had grown up, Wharton was in the O'Brien Empire. I don't have anything else to worry about.”
Hogg grabbed Hillman's shoulders with both hands and stared into Hillman's eyes."Hillman, although you call me Lord Hogg, we have been brothers for so many years. At this point, I hope you can fulfill my wish.”
" Hogg, you…" Hillman was very anxious.
Hillman knew very well that if Hogg really went to investigate what had happened back then, he would very likely lose his life.
"I've made up my mind, Hillman. You have to know that I'm living a life worse than death.”Hogg's eyes were slightly red, and Hillman felt helpless when he saw Hogg like this. He could understand what Hogg was thinking.
Why had Hogg always been so strict and cold all these years?
Others might not know, but Hillman knew that before Lin Feng and Wharton's mother, Lina, died, Hogg was a very cheerful person. After Lina's death, Hogg's personality changed.
Although Hogg had told everyone that Lina had died from childbirth, Hillman, Housekeeper Hiri, and the others knew the truth.
"Hillman, you don't have to persuade me. I'm only asking you, are you going to help me?”Hogg stared at Hillman.
Hillman stared at Hogg for a moment, then sighed helplessly."Alright, I'll help you." Hogg couldn't help but reveal a smile, a smile of relief.
On the way back to the academy, Lin Feng began to plan his next path.
"I'm already a peak magus of the eighth rank, and it's only a matter of time before I break through to the ninth rank. It's just that my warrior cultivation is only at the seventh rank, and I haven't even condensed my battle-qi yet. It looks like I'll have to make another trip to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts and see if I can find the Foggy Canyon and obtain the Blueheart Grass. Then, I'll drink the blood of a living dragon and awaken my Dragonblood Warrior bloodline. However, there was no hurry. Before that, he should first retrieve the clan's inherited treasured saber, Slaughterer.”
"As for avenging my mother, I'll have to wait until I become a Saint-level. The Radiant Church will definitely be destroyed.”
After returning to the academy, the 1987 brothers naturally went out to celebrate. After that, Lin Feng's life became peaceful again.（
