Lin Jingjian looked at Xue Li, who was smiling but there was no smile in his eyes, and he couldn't help but pick the corners of his lips.

Xue Li was naturally feeling the defense and vigilance of him.

His feelings for this cousin whom he hasn't seen in ten years are actually complicated.

The letters written by my aunt when she returned home were full of concerns about her cowardly and inferior personality, and even had the idea of ​​marrying her back to Lin, hoping to protect her for a peaceful life.

At that time, my grandmother also had this plan and chose one to marry this cousin among brothers of the right age. However, no one expected that the Lin family of the century-old tribe would suddenly encounter an inexplicable catastrophe. In this catastrophe, the legitimate father and uncle passed away one after another.

Although my grandmother decisively helped my uncle who was born in illegitimate but not as talented as my father to take charge of the affairs, not long after, my uncle and the younger generation of Lin children with talent in the family suffered accidents one after another. These accidents may be until death or disability! Only he, because he was sent out by his father since childhood, escaped this disaster!

Lin's sudden disaster and his aunt's mysterious disappearance! All of this happened made him unable to help but wonder that all this was definitely a huge black hand that was in a place where he could not see it!

Who is this black hand?

"My cousin may not know anything. I was sent out by my father since I was a child and did not grow up in the Lin family! So, I can't answer any of the things you asked! But..." Lin Jingjian smiled and said to Xue Li, "I still know one thing. I came from the Lin family's eldest house."

Xue Li glared at Lin Jingjian, and for a moment he seemed to have no idea what to say!

Lin Jingjian smiled again. In the past few days, he knew that it would be difficult to make Xue Li believe him.

However, there is no way!

Lin Jingjian smiled at Xue Li and said, "Cousin, I have a scholar outside. Can someone call him in? I have something to put in his place."

Xue Li felt that his brain was a little short-circuited, but he nodded and stood outside and ordered Niu Ba, saying, "Please invite cousin Lin's servant in."

"Yes, Miss."

Lin Jingjian looked at Niu Ba who was walking with wind, then looked at Xue Li, who was stunned and regained his naturalness. His understanding of this cousin became more and more complicated.

Although he had never practiced martial arts, the people around him were all masters. People who were used to seeing masters naturally could tell at a glance that Niu Ba was also a master! Is this cousin really the cousin in his aunt's letter?

Soon, Lin Jingxian's servant Mo Shu walked in with a box with red paint and gold plastered in, and the box seemed to be a bit old.

"Mo Shu has met the young master and cousin."

After Mo Shu performed his tribute, Lin Jingjian signaled Mo Shu to put the box on the table. He stood up and said to Xue Li, "This box was handed over to me by my father. He only said when I came to the imperial capital and when I brought it, and asked my aunt for another key to open it."

"Another key?" Xue Li stared at Lin Jingjian in a daze.

Lin Jingjie nodded, pointed to the old lock under the box and said to Xue Li: "Two locks, one for father and one for aunt. Only when two are put together can you unlock this lock."

"But mom, she is missing!"

Xue Li vaguely felt that she was approaching an opportunity to unlock the secret, but unfortunately this opportunity still needs to be waited.

"I know, put the box here first, find your aunt, let's open it together."
Chapter completed!
