Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 9 Borrowing People

"Green sandalwood".

A faint voice rang out from beneath the black robe.

Green sandalwood?

Lincoln was startled. Could it be the baby girl that Xiao'er adopted? Six years ago, not long after Dong'er was born, Lin Xiao and Liu Yan found an abandoned baby girl on a snowy night.

Besides, there isn't another person named Qingtan in the Lin family...

"The green sandalwood you mentioned, is it...?"

Lincoln asked cautiously.

"Six years ago..."

Lin Langtian interrupted Lincoln and said slowly.

"Your Lin family found an abandoned baby outside your door."

Lincoln was startled.

He wondered if the two people in front of him were the girl's elders. If so, the girl must be someone of great importance. Fortunately, he had been quite kind to them...

"You don't need to overthink it. I'm not a relative or elder of theirs. I'm just here to establish a good relationship."

Lin Langtian picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and said slowly.

"I will suppress the cold energy within him and return him intact afterward."

"Well, why don't you stay at the Lin family's house for a few days? My father has some business to attend to and will be back soon..."

A powerful surge of Yuan energy erupted from Lin Bao's body, instantly filling the entire hall.

Apart from Lin Langtian, the rest of the Lin family members were all pale-faced, with Lincoln being the most shocked and unable to speak.

"I'm not discussing this with you..."

Lin Langtian toyed with the teacup in his hand and said calmly.

"Either hand over Qingtan, and I'll personally return her in half a month at most. Or I'll wipe out the Lin family and then take her away."

"Qin Ying, quickly, bring Qing Tan to the main hall." Lincoln, enduring the immense pressure from Lin Bao opposite him, ordered his guards.

Seeing the servant hurriedly leave the hall, Lin Bao withdrew his imposing manner under Lin Langtian's signal.

The Lin family members all breathed a sigh of relief, and Lincoln remained silent, not daring to utter another word that might anger the two people in front of him.

A silence fell over the hall.

Since the Lin family members remained silent, Lin Langtian also stopped talking. He had already achieved his goal, and these people were unlikely to have any further interaction, so there was no need to ease the tension.

A moment later, the guard rushed in from outside the door, and on his back, a little girl dressed in green was curiously looking at everything in the Lin family's hall.

Inside the hall, everyone stared at the rather pretty little girl. She had never seemed special before, a nobody in the Lin family, but after today's events, she would probably have to be paid more attention.

Looking at the adorable little girl, Lin Langtian slowly breathed a sigh of relief; everything was going smoothly.

"This little girl is Qingtan, you see..." Lincoln cautiously probed Lin Langtian's tone.

"Don't worry, I keep my word. I'll send her back in half a month at most."

Lin Langtian walked up to Qingtan, squatted down, and looked Qingtan up and down as he replied.

Qingtan stared at Lin Langtian with her bright, watery eyes, unmoving, showing no fear, only curiosity.

Lincoln and the others were extremely nervous. What did the children know? They mustn't offend this powerful figure in front of them.

Lin Langtian smiled calmly.

No problem. This dense, chilling aura is something that, at this age, is so powerful that, let alone Qingyang Town, one could probably find no one else like it in the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

"Little girl, would you be willing to leave with me for a while? I can alleviate your coldness," Lin Langtian said gently.

"Hmm... if it's just a short time away, then it's fine."

Qingtan bit her finger, looking at Lincoln and the others with their eyes almost popping out of their sockets, and said hesitantly.

"Haha, okay, I'll bring you back as soon as possible," Lin Langtian reassured him.

"Walk."

Lin Langtian slowly stood up, took Qingtan's small hand, and walked towards the outside of the Lin family hall, with Lin Bao following closely behind.

Watching the carriage slowly disappear into the distance, Lincoln and the others breathed a sigh of relief. This formidable figure had finally been seen off, but the price was that Qingtan would have to bear some risks...

"Oh, Lin Mang, quickly write a letter and have it sent by fast horse to Lincheng to deliver to Father. Write down everything that happened today without missing a single detail."

After a long silence, Lincoln finally sighed.

"it is good."

Lin Mang hurriedly ran towards the interior of the Lin family compound.

If we hadn't agreed to let that person take Qingtan away today, the Lin family would probably have been wiped out by now. I hope Xiao'er won't blame her older brother; there's really nothing we can do.

……

In the attic.

Lin Langtian looked at the little girl sitting obediently on the carpet, blinking her eyes, and couldn't help but smile. As expected of the future heroine, her composure and courage were unmatched by her peers.

"How often does the cold attack occur?" Lin Langtian asked curiously.

"Hmm... about once every three months." The little girl tilted her head back and counted on her fingers.

"When was the last time you had an attack?"

About three months ago.

It seems the cold air outbreak is just around the corner, Lin Langtian thought to himself.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you're safe this time."

Lin Langtian smiled, patted the little girl's head, and turned to leave the room.
