C29 Going Home

The next morning, Di Liya found Lin Feng, followed by Di Liya's brother, Di Kexi.

"Lin Feng, Father told me and my brother to go back. I …" Di Liya wanted to say something but stopped.

"Go back. I think your parents haven't seen you for more than five years. They must be missing you." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"But I don't want to be separated from you." Di Liya's face was filled with resentment, her eyes were filled with reluctance and attachment.

"There will only be joy when we meet again. Anyway, you won't be coming back after you go back." Lin Feng comforted Di Liya.

"Okay, see you." Di Liya was obviously disappointed that she didn't have time to chat with Lin Feng for a while. Di Kexi, who was far away, also walked over. After glancing at Di Liya, she walked towards Di Kexi. Di Kexi looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, thank you for protecting Di Liya and helping her become a Level 6 Magician. But if you want to marry my sister, you have to work hard to cultivate. I heard that you have already broken through to the Level 8 Magician, but this bit of strength is not enough."

Di Kexi's tone was still cold, but Lin Feng also knew that Di Kexi had a cold attitude towards everyone, so he did not mind.

"I know, I will work hard to cultivate." Lin Feng said confidently.

Lin Feng knew his own limitations. He knew that with his current strength and status, he was not enough to make Di Liya's parents attach importance to him. In the original book, Di Liya's parents were prepared to marry her to the emperor of The Yulan Empire.

Di Kexi nodded slightly, then walked towards the entrance of the academy with his sister, Di Liya.

The sun at the end of August was like a big fireball, so hot that it was deadly. After having lunch with his three brothers, Lin Feng headed straight to his hometown, Wushan Town.

Previously, Lin Feng had exchanged some of the magic crystal cores in his interspatial ring for gold coins. In total, he had exchanged 100,000 gold coins. Then, Lin Feng stored them in the Four Countries Bank and turned them into magic crystal cards.

"Squeak squeak ~ ~" Bebe also squeaked excitedly on Lin Feng's shoulder.

Lin Feng glanced at Bebe and smiled. He communicated with his soul, "Bebe, it's been a long time since I last came back. Time flies!"

"Yeah, boss, I still remember the scene of our first departure from Wushan Town." Bebe also sighed.

Lin Feng's walking speed was not too fast. With the speed of one hour and twenty miles, he arrived at the edge of Wushan Town at dusk. As he continued to move towards Wushan Town, Lin Feng heard a familiar voice —"Everyone, straighten up your backs. Don't bend down. Whoever touches the tree branches and gets dyed with paint, will be breaking the rules. The training will be doubled!" Uncle Xi Erman's voice could be heard from afar.

Lin Feng looked towards the distance.

On the familiar open space to the east of Wushan Town, next to a row of white poplar trees, was a group of six to seven-year-old children divided into three teams. Under the strict supervision of Xi Erman and the other two instructors, they were working hard to train. Their sweat drenched the clothes of every single child.

"Back then, I also trained like this." Seeing this scene, Lin Feng sighed with emotion.

"Lin Feng?" Xi Erman saw Lin Feng from afar and casually explained to Roger and Lorie. Then, she immediately ran towards Lin Feng and gave him a bear hug.

"Uncle Xi Erman, it's been a long time since I last saw you." Lin Feng was also very happy.

"Haha, let's go home first. Lord Hogg will be very happy to see you." Xi Erman said with a smile. Then, Xi Erman followed Lin Feng and walked towards the Black Mountain Town.

"Young Master Lin Feng." Lorie and Roger also greeted him from afar.

"Uncle Lorie, Uncle Roger." Lin Feng waved his hand and signaled them. Then, he walked towards his own house with Xi Erman.

"Lin Feng, why didn't you tell your father that you were going to the Magic Beast Mountain Range for training? Moreover, you went there for more than five years. You don't know how worried Lord Hogg is about you. In these five years, I haven't seen Lord Hogg smile." On the way to the Baruch family's mansion, Xi Erman couldn't help but start lecturing Lin Feng.

"Uncle Xi Erman, if I had told my father back then, do you think he would let me go?" Lin Feng asked.

"Alas, forget it. Since you have already gone there and came back safely, I won't say anything." Xi Erman shook her head helplessly.

In the courtyard of the Baruch family mansion, Hogg was lying on a chair, flipping through an extremely thick book.

"Lord Hogg, dinner is ready." A maid walked over and said respectfully.

Ever since the butler Hiri brought little Wo Dun to the O'Brien Empire, there was no servant in the entire Baruch family. Hogg was at least the patriarch of the Dragonblood Warrior family, so he couldn't possibly be a servant. Therefore, Hogg gritted his teeth and hired a maid.

"Oh." Hogg closed the book in his hand and glanced at the maid beside him. He sighed in his heart, "Luckily, those nobles knew that my son is now a genius Magician of the Ernst Institute, and were willing to lend me gold coins. Otherwise, my life would have been even more difficult."

"According to the current tax rate of Wushan Town, it is barely enough to pay the kingdom's taxes and the salary of the guards." Hogg felt aggrieved when he thought about it. When his family passed down to his generation, most of the things that could be sold had been sold out.

Fortunately.

He, Hogg, had two sons, two extraordinary sons.

But when he thought of Lin Feng, Hogg's heart couldn't help but tighten.

"Today is the fifth, sixth, ninth, and tenth year of Lin Feng's journey to the Magical Beast Mountain Range." Hogg raised his head and looked at the ceiling, muttering to himself.

"Lord Hogg, Lord Hogg." Xi Erman's voice sounded from afar.

Hogg looked at the mansion's gate in puzzlement, and Xi Erman entered in a moment. Beside Xi Erman was a burly youth.

Hogg's eyes paused on the sturdy youth. Although it had been more than five years since they last met, Hogg still recognized Lin Feng at a glance, his son.

Hogg excitedly walked towards Lin Feng, his lips moving, but he could not make a single sound.

"Father!" Lin Feng ran over and knelt in front of Hogg.

"I am unfilial, I have made you worry."

"Get up, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" Hogg quickly helped Lin Feng up and excitedly sized up Lin Feng.

"You're grown up, and you've become sturdy. Good, good, good!" Hogg said three times in a row, expressing the excitement in his heart. Then, he turned around and ordered the only maid in the house, "Agatha, please prepare a sumptuous dinner."

Lin Feng stood up and handed the magic crystal card in his arms to Hogg. He smiled and said, "Father, these are the magic crystal cores that I obtained from killing magic beasts to earn money. There is a total of 100,000 gold coins. I think this should be enough for my brother's tuition fees."

"What?" Hogg trembled as he took the magic crystal card from Lin Feng's hand. His heart fiercely twitched, and he said in disbelief, "How many gold coins are there in it? 100,000?"

What kind of concept was 100,000 gold coins? Even an ordinary Earl did not have 100,000 gold coins. The Baruch family was just a small noble family, and it was a declining noble family. Even if the entire Baruch family was sold, there would still be no 100,000 gold coins.

Seeing that Hogg was excitedly looking at him, Lin Feng was a little proud, "Father, that's right, there are 100,000 gold coins here."

Taking a deep breath, Hogg suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a low voice, "Lin Feng, you must be tired after a day of traveling. Go and rest early."

"Yes, Father."

Lin Feng quietly left, leaving Hogg alone in the living room, where the candlelight was burning.

The next morning, on the dining table in the Baruch family's living room, Lin Feng was surprised to find that his father was glowing, and even his mental state was completely different.

Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Hogg smiled at Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, you have stayed at home for a while, and father has not seen you for a long time. Let us have a good reunion."

His father wanted him to stay at home for a while?

Suddenly thinking of the similar story in the original book, Lin Feng was shocked, "Could it be that father is going to find the murderer of mother Lina?"

"Alas, that's true. Mother Lina has always been the biggest problem in father's heart. If it wasn't for raising me and Wo Dun, I would have long since gone to investigate."

Sighing, Lin Feng's heart was conflicted, "The real murderer of mother is the Holy See. With my current level six warrior cultivation, going to investigate is undoubtedly courting death. In the original book, Hogg was killed when he went to investigate mother’s whereabouts, but should I stop my father?"

Lin Feng raised his head and looked at his father, who had a completely different spirit from before. He sighed deeply, "Forget it, let nature take its course. Father has been living too bitterly these years. Rather than living in pain, I might as well let him understand his own wishes. Moreover, when I go to the underworld in the future, I can also let Si Wangzhuzai revive him. At that time, I can rescue my mother from the hands of the Ruler of Light. Then, Father and Mother can reunite."

Thinking of this, Lin Feng suppressed the thought of stopping Hogg and replied, "Okay, Father."
