I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 114: The Lin Family and the Wang Family

Looking down from the flying boat, it was true that Sanshan Town was backed by three large mountains. The mountains resembled three extended fingers, which was quite astonishing. As for the town itself, Lin Qing could see that it was just an ordinary small town in the mortal world. It was estimated to have a population of about two to three thousand people, with two main streets intersecting in the town. Most of the houses were located near these two main streets.

When they were three miles away from Sanshan Town, Lin Qing landed the flying boat and slowly walked towards the town with the Lin brothers.

As the Lin brothers landed on the ground, they both let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that being on the ground was more comfortable for them than being in the sky. At this moment, Lin Qing looked at a person not far away who was running towards Sanshan Town. He had seen himself descending from the sky just now, and it seemed like the person was extremely terrified. He was running clumsily, as if he had seen something horrifying. He was indeed a cultivator, but there was no need for him to be so afraid.

"Do you recognize that person?" Lin Qing asked the Lin brothers.

"Him?" Lin Xuen looked at the running person, squinted his eyes, and shook his head. "Can't remember."

"He seems to be a servant of the Wang family," Lin Xuwu said at this moment.

"The Wang family?" Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuwu.

Lin Xuwu smiled and said, "Father, they are the ones in town who always oppose our Lin family. Among all the families in town, our Lin family and their Wang family are the largest."

"Oh, I see." Lin Qing nodded and suddenly understood the situation. It was probably because this servant from the Wang family saw him and the Lin brothers descending from the flying boat and thought that he was an immortal invited by Lin Xuen, which made him so scared.

Smiling, Lin Qing didn't take this matter to heart. For him, the conflicts in the mortal world were not worth mentioning.

When they arrived at the streets of Sanshan Town, most of the pedestrians recognized the Lin brothers. Some even stopped to greet them, and the Lin brothers returned the greetings one by one, which delayed them for quite some time. But Lin Qing patiently waited, watching the Lin brothers' comfortable performance in the town, which made him feel relieved.

Finally, they arrived at the Lin family's residence. Lin Qing looked at it and saw that the gate and courtyard wall were about ten zhang wide. Flowers were planted under the stone-built courtyard wall, and the one zhang wide double doors were painted in a bright red color, which made it look extremely grand. At first glance, it couldn't compare to those wealthy families in the mortal world, but it was considered a very good family.

Lin Qing nodded inwardly, feeling much more at ease when he saw this scene.

Before entering the gate, a servant at the door exclaimed, "Young Master En, Young Master Wen, you're back!"

Lin Xuen and Lin Xuwu smiled at the servant, and then the servant hurriedly ran towards the back, seemingly wanting to inform the people inside about this news.

Not long after, Lin Qing and the Lin brothers had just entered the spacious courtyard when more than a dozen people ran out from the house. When they saw the Lin brothers, they all showed smiles and approached them, showing great concern. Finally, someone noticed Lin Qing and curiously asked Lin Xuen, "Young Master En, who is this?"

Lin Xuen and Lin Xuwu glanced at each other, then looked at Lin Qing and said, "Let's go inside first, and I'll introduce him slowly."

Afterwards, in the living room at the back of the house, Lin Xuen gathered all the members of the Lin family and revealed Lin Qing's identity. When the Lin family members heard that Lin Qing was their ancestor, they all had an incredulous expression on their faces, especially the middle-aged Lin Qing, which surprised them even more. After all, Lin Qing was the father of Lin Xuen and Lin Xuwu, and his young appearance made them somewhat unbelievable.

Ignoring the astonishment of the people in the house, Lin Xuen introduced the current situation of the Lin family in Sanshan Town to Lin Qing.

"Father, in these years, I and Xuwu each have one wife and two concubines. I have three sons and two daughters, while Xuwu has two sons and four daughters. Now, all the daughters are married, and the sons in the family are all married as well. When I left, there were two boys and one girl among the grandchildren, and it seems that two more have been born now."

Lin Qing nodded and followed Lin Xuen's gaze to look at the two children still in their mothers' arms. He thought to himself that these were probably the newborns during Lin Xuen's absence in these years.

Looking at this large family, Lin Qing wanted to say something, but suddenly a servant ran over.

"Master En, Master Wen, the head of the Wang family has come with people."

Just as he finished speaking, the Lin family members standing there all had a change in their expressions. The Wang family had always been at odds with them, and the two families never spoke to each other. Why would they come running now?

"Father, let me and Xuwu go and see." Lin Xuen said.

Lin Qing nodded, and Lin Xuen took Lin Xuwu to the front yard. In the living room, Lin Qing looked at this large family with a kind expression in his eyes. However, the faces of the family members were all somewhat unsettled. Last year, the Wang family had a dispute with them over the use of water in the fields outside the town. Three members of the Lin family were injured, and two members of the Wang family were injured. The resentment between the two families grew day by day. Why would they come now? For a moment, the Lin family servants went to fetch weapons.

After Lin Xuen and Lin Xuwu went to the front yard, they quickly returned. Following them were seven or eight people from the Wang family, with one person at the front who had a commanding presence without anger. Needless to say, he was the head of the Wang family.

When the head of the Wang family arrived, the Lin family members standing there involuntarily stepped back, and the children being held immediately started crying.

"May I ask if you are the immortal master?" The head of the Wang family saw that Lin Qing remained calm and asked.

Lin Qing nodded and looked at him, saying, "Indeed, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Lin Qing acknowledge his identity, the head of the Wang family immediately knelt down on both knees and respectfully said, "I heard that the immortal master has come, so our Wang family has come to congratulate you."

As he spoke, the people behind him opened the boxes they were carrying, revealing a collection of cloth and silk, as well as half a box of gold.

Seeing this scene, the Lin family members were momentarily taken aback. The change in attitude of the head of the Wang family was too sudden. However, Lin Qing nodded in his heart. The Wang family was indeed extraordinary. Such a decision could not be made by just anyone.

At this moment, Lin Qing smiled and said, "There's no need for that. I just came to see the descendants. You may leave now, it has nothing to do with you."

"Yes, thank you, immortal master."

The head of the Wang family stood up at this moment and left with the Wang family members. As for the box they brought, they did not take it with them.

"Father, what is this?" Lin Xuen looked at the things left behind by the Wang family and asked Lin Qing.

Lin Qing glanced at the half box of gold and silk, and said lightly, "Since they left it, take it."

Lin Xuen nodded, and at this moment, the Lin family members present looked at Lin Qing with slightly different eyes. Some who had been skeptical now believed that Lin Qing was indeed their ancestor. Under the leadership of Lin Xuen, the Lin family members all knelt down to Lin Qing, who sat in a chair and accepted their worship.

In Lin Qing's original plan, he would return to the Lin family after bringing Lin Xuen and Lin Xuwu back. But unexpectedly, Lin Xuen fell ill the next day, lying in bed with weak breath. The pills brought by Lin Qing were of no use. Lin Qing sighed. It seemed that Lin Xuen was in a difficult situation this time.

Calculating his age, Lin Xuen was already sixty-eight, which was considered old in the mortal world.
