Ye Rumei didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
She had heard something about Lin Qinghen, especially about his face. He originally had a birthmark, but she heard that it gradually healed somehow.
His spiritual power was still low, and logically speaking, it was not a big deal as he had only cured the birthmark. However, according to the description of the mercenary group that came to Lincheng, the face that had been covered by the birthmark was a disaster to the country and the people, and the disturbance it caused in Leicheng was even no less than that caused by Yin Jiuxiao.
After that, Lin Qinghen rarely appeared outside. He was not the type of person who liked to show off, and he didn't want to be stared at by others.
I had only heard about this at first, and thought it was a bit exaggerated since I had never really seen it. But one mercenary group had a photo stone, a rare spiritual recording device, so I wrote it down at the time.
When Wang Yulin saw it, everyone fell silent.
There were still some remnants of a blue birthmark on his face, but just the glimpse of it through the photo stone was enough to make a deep impression.
Others were amazed at the moment, but Zhang Fu, who was just following others to watch it, did not have the same feeling.
When he saw that face, he stood there in a daze for a long time, and finally came to his senses.
Ye Rumei was just wondering what this matter had to do with Lin Qinghen's face when she heard Zhang Fu add another inexplicable sentence in a low voice.
"Then have you ever seen... Shen Luoying?"
Shen Luoying
The person who once made Lin Zhongtian almost die
I've heard of it.
This eldest daughter of the Shen family was of noble status and was said to be the most beautiful woman in the spiritual world at that time. Unfortunately, something happened when she was giving birth in the 19th year of her birth. She fell into a coma and was almost dead.
Not many people have seen her, and her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the spiritual world is mostly spread by word of mouth. She was not in good health when she was a child, and as an alchemist, she did not need to go out much, so she had been recuperating at home.
After marrying into the Lin family, Lin Zhongtian was not very willing at first, but he had no choice due to the engagement. However, his attitude changed after they met on the wedding night, which was enough to prove that she was indeed extremely beautiful. Lin Zhongtian regarded her as a pearl. It was a pity that something happened.
It caused a lot of uproar at the time, but after so many years, even fewer people remember that face.
"So what's going on? What does this have to do with what's going on here?"
"If I and you were together, and Lin Qinghen looked alike to Shen Luoying, very alike, with eyebrows and eyebrows almost like they were carved from the same mold, what would you think?"
The only difference is that as a woman, Shen Luoying's eyebrows are a little softer and more charming, but Zhang Fu will definitely not make a mistake.
He had lived long enough to become a Heavenly Grade Six-Star Alchemist twenty years ago. He had worked in the Shen family and given special lessons to Miss Shen. He had met her more than once or twice.
She is extremely talented and has a high level of comprehension, but her health is poor. Otherwise, her brother might not have been the current head of the Shen family. She was too young when she married into the Lin family. If she is given a few more years, when her ability to refine medicine has been cultivated, her status in the spiritual world will definitely be higher than Lin Zhongtian's.
Conceiving a child in the spiritual world is not a dangerous matter. For spiritualists with strong spiritual power, they can transfer the baby in the womb to a special spiritual womb as early as possible. Such facilities in large families are more complete, which provides some protection for the mother and is also good for the child.
But Shen Luoying was in poor health. It was said that she was intentionally poisoned by the concubine. The fetus had been kept in her womb and could not be removed. Something serious happened during the birth.
Zhang Fu paid special attention to this news at that time. Shen Luoying was the most talented and the most impressive disciple he had ever taught. Hearing that she was unconscious, he felt sad for a long time.
However, Lin Qingshuang, who was saved with great difficulty and was cherished as the apple of the eye by the widowed Lin Zhongtian, did not look like Shen Luoying. It was normal for her to look like her father, but Zhang Fu saw Lin Qinghen behind her.
His mind was completely confused.
For a long time, whenever he closed his eyes, that face was in his mind, especially the expression when he turned around and looked at people, which was exactly the same as Shen Luoying.
"City Lord Ye, think about it carefully. The engagement between the Yin family and the Lin family is known to everyone in the spirit world. The marriage certificate is of the highest standard, witnessed by heaven and earth. Can Lin Zhongtian really just find someone to take over? Is Lin Qingshuang... really Shen Luoying's child?"
Ye Rumei: "…"
She was also stunned when she heard these things.
Outsiders may not know everything that goes on in the Lin family's inner house, but they are very clear about the difference between Lin Qinghen and Lin Qingshuang.
After seeing Lin Qinghen, if that face that looked similar to Shen Luoying couldn't explain anything, then her marriage with Yin Jiuxiao would be explained.
… No way
“Even their talents and interests are similar. Shen Luoying also liked to study things other than alchemy at that time, improving spiritual plants and techniques…” Zhang Fu was more and more shocked the more he thought about it, “City Lord Ye, the Lin family is wrong, Lin Zhongtian is wrong! The future of the City of Tears does not only lie in Yin Jiuxiao, Lin Qinghen is even more extraordinary!”
Otherwise, if his birthmark had been covered up for so many years, anyone with insight would probably have known it at a glance.
Moreover, Zhang Fu heard that there was a descendant of the Shen family in the butterfly dream, Shen Liyan. Many people had seen the special spiritual essence in the alchemist competition, so there was no mistake, he was the lost child of the Shen family.
I didn’t understand before, why after discovering my talent, I didn’t go back but was so devoted to it, now it seems…
Zhang Fu was feeling very uneasy because he had many guesses about this matter. Coincidentally, the Yin family sent Song Xuemiao's letter to him. He did not say anything directly, but only tentatively confirmed some things, which made him more certain of his guesses.
Lin Qinghen became Shen Luoying's child as soon as she was born.
I don't know what the concubine did at that time. She deliberately poisoned her to make her give birth early when Lin Zhongtian was not around. She happened to be with him on the same day, and I don't know what other means she used to replace the child.
Ye Rumei was hesitant at first, but Zhang Fuxing had really lived long and was well-informed, so there was no need for him to lie.
This time, she had even less room for choice.
Originally, I thought that I should not get seriously involved in the fight with the Yin family, so I could make some preparations.
If the Yin family narrowly wins and she has been slacking off in the back, then it must be because she has been holding back from the beginning; if the Yin family is really wiped out, she will not suffer any loss if Wang Yulin wins, and it would not be the first time she has been excluded. After all, she is a Heavenly Rank Six Star, what can Chen Lianyan do to her
If the Yin family was defeated and Jiuxiao escaped, it would take several years for him to grow up. She could use this time to pack up and prepare to run away, taking away everything she should take, and she would not be able to find him when she came back for revenge.
Ye Rumei is the biggest and most clever wallflower, so her tendency is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances. Betraying Wang Yulin in advance at this time is not the best choice.
But after hearing what Zhang Fu said, Ye Rumei no longer had that nonchalant attitude when she read the letter again.
The letter said that the past was forgiven and everything would be fine as long as she made the right choice now.
Moreover, her words hinted that the Yin family now had far more chips than she could see, and Wang Yulin's luck was about to run out.
In fact, Yin Jiuxiao was referring more to the Demonic Ruins that were about to reopen, but he certainly wouldn't know it at this time.
But after Ye Rumei understood these words, she no longer understood what they meant.
Could it be that Lin Qinghen has also discovered his own life experience
"I heard that Lin Yunsi, the current chief alchemist of Diemeng, is his cousin in terms of seniority and is also highly regarded in the Lin family. He came here specially," Zhang Fu said. "These children are all extraordinary."
The Yin family's habit is to have the adults lead the front, leaving the young children as the manpower. It happened like this last time, and if a fight really breaks out this time, it will probably be like this too.
Ye Rumei originally thought that no matter how great Yin Jiuxiao was, he still needed time to grow, and she had room for improvement.
But it seems that if the Yin family is defeated, Yin Jiuxiao will probably not stay in Beizhou to hide. Although the barrier separates the inside and the outside, resulting in a blockage of information, it is not completely impassable.
Once Yin Jiuxiao takes Lin Qinghen out of Beizhou, they will have a place to stay. If they run to the Lin family or the Shen family, this matter will be impossible to cover up.
At present, since Lin Yunsi is not a direct descendant of the Lin family's patriarch, Shen Liyan would not be taken seriously when he returned home after being away for a long time, and it would be impossible for him to come back to seek revenge for the Yin family. But now with the addition of Lin Qinghen, the situation has changed!
Lin Zhongtian went crazy for a long time after Shen Luoying fell into a coma and did not remarry for many years. How could he not recognize that face? The head of the Shen family also valued Shen Luoying as his sister very much, otherwise he would not have torn his face with the Lin family directly because of that incident.
With the Lin and Shen families coming together, how could she have the time to run away
When Ye Rumei thought about it carefully, she felt horrified.
If she had a choice, she would definitely go to the Yin family right now. She didn't want to follow Weng Yan and die in the near future.
But she had just talked to Zhang Fu and had no time to do anything when news came that Qin Xiang had woken up.
His injuries were not fully healed, but now that he was awake it was clear that he was fine. Chen Lianyan's injuries were more serious, and it looked like she was about to wake up. Of course, Weng Yan gathered everyone immediately. At this juncture, Ye Rumei couldn't hide either, so she could only take Zhang Fu with her.
Qin Xiang's face was bruised and swollen. After listening to Weng Yan's words, he learned about recent events. Looking at the mercenaries who came to visit him, he felt more confident and his eyes were full of ruthlessness.
"When the principal wakes up, we will seek revenge on the Yin family!"
Wang Yulin has quite a few useful spiritual weapons here, all of which were taken out by Weng Yan. When they are ready to attack together, the Yin family may not be able to resist at the moment.
"You can ignore the others, but you must kill Yin Hengxie and Yin Jiuxiao," Qin Xiang added, "With Yin Jiuxiao gone, the Yin family has lost a large part of their energy."
He has a clear goal. If it were anyone else, Yin Jiuxiao would be their biggest goal.
But Ye Rumei asked another question at this moment: "What about Lin Qinghen...?"
"Lin Qinghen? He has to be kept alive, we can't kill him," Qin Xiang frowned, "According to the rules of the spirit world, alchemists are not generally harmed. Although he is not an alchemist, his abilities are indeed somewhat strange, and he is very useful in the field of elixirs. If the Yin family is gone, he will have nothing to rely on, and he can only listen to us. No matter how many schemes he has, he can't cause any trouble."
The mercenary added, "Yes, yes, yes, we have to keep him. His spiritual power is low so it's easy to manipulate him. And he has that face, so it's useful to keep him."
After saying this, he chuckled a few times, revealing some other meanings.
Ye Rumei: "…"
Look, even Qin Xiang will leave Lin Qinghen.
If he doesn't die, I'm afraid you will be the next to die. Why are you thinking about all these nonsense
She sighed silently, then exchanged glances with Zhang Fu, and both understood what the other meant.
