Chapter 674 Father and son recognize each other
Back then, Lin Hao was the most likely heir to the Lotus Palace, but he left for love.
He valued his wife and child more than his own life, and even after not seeing them for more than twenty years, he still worried about their well-being.
If Lin Ping were to use his son as leverage, it would be the worst decision he could make. No wonder Lin Hao was so murderous.
"Husband, you must not use your uncle's son as a threat!" Jiang Yunying shouted, fearing that Lin Ping would make a fatal mistake.
Despite Lin Hao's murderous aura, Lin Ping's anger did not subside. Instead, he continued to attack, saying, "What can you do to me? Why don't you ask yourself that question? When you handed him over to Zhang Jiuxiang twenty years ago, did you ever think that you were leaving him with nothing but enemies?"
Lin Ping's voice was sharp and fierce, and his sharp sword moves were aimed directly at his opponent.
These words left Lin Hao speechless; in the end, it was all his fault for failing his child.
"He was killed by his enemy?" Lin Hao said through gritted teeth, but his killing intent was not directed at Lin Ping.
"Whether he lives or dies, what does it have to do with you? In twenty years, have you ever seen him even once? Although Zhang Jiuxiang and his wife doted on him, they were not blood relatives after all. Have you ever considered his feelings?"
Lin Ping grew angrier as he spoke: "Now that he's grown up, you want to take him away directly? What do you take him for?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao was slightly taken aback and stared at Lin Ping with a surprised look, suddenly feeling that their eyebrows were somewhat similar.
"You brat, you dare to scold your old man? Do you want a beating?" Lin Hao suddenly realized what was happening, and his cold expression instantly melted away, even his voice became much kinder.
Lin Ping not only possessed the Illusionary Heaven Sword, but also knew everything that had happened twenty years ago.
The accusatory tone wasn't feigned, and given the slight resemblance between the two, anyone who wasn't an idiot could tell who he was.
"Unfortunately, I've gotten used to criticizing people over the years!" Lin Ping knew the other party had seen through his identity, and continued angrily.
Regardless of whether Lin Hao would pamper him like Lin Fugui would, at least he was in the right to do so and accept the other party's punishment.
As the Illusionary Heaven Sword approached Lin Hao's chest, Lin Ping immediately stopped and asked anxiously, "Why didn't you dodge? What if I couldn't stop the sword?"
"If stabbing me with a sword can relieve the hatred in my heart, then I am willing." Lin Hao straightened his chest and took a few steps forward, about to make contact with the blade.
This time, Lin Ping panicked a bit and unconsciously took a few steps back.
"Don't think I wouldn't dare hurt you." Lin Ping hardened his heart and pointed the blade at Lin Hao's chest.
He has formal training, and with his right eye having X-rays, he can accurately determine where to stab and where to stab safely.
Even if Lin Hao were to suffer a fatal blow, it would only result in a superficial injury.
However, after mustering his courage, he eventually put the longsword away.
"You old bastard, if you had arrived even a day later, I would never have forgiven you!"
Holding Lin Hao in his arms, Lin Ping pretended to be calm and said.
The embrace was incredibly warm; it was the first time he had felt this way since his father's death.
That's right, give it a boost!
Luo Shaolan and the others were dumbfounded, never expecting the plot to take such a turn.
"He's actually my senior brother's child?" Jiang Lanfeng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Thinking of all that she had done to Lin Ping, she felt incredibly embarrassed and wished she could hide in her senior brother's arms.
"My husband is actually my fiancé?" Jiang Yunying's mouth dropped open. Thinking of the vow she had recently made never to marry her master's son, she wished she could slap herself a few times.
Chu Rujun was also surprised by this dramatic turn of events, and she was grateful that she had helped Lin Ping a lot.
"You little rascal, your sharp tongue but soft heart is just like your old man's." Lin Hao grinned.
"Senior brother actually smiled? Twenty years have passed, and I have finally seen senior brother smile again!" Jiang Lanfeng exclaimed with deep emotion.
Twenty years ago, Lin Hao, the senior disciple, was an optimist with a smile always on his face.
This overwhelmed Jiang Lanfeng, who had only recently started learning, and he was immediately captivated.
For the sake of the city lord's future, she suppressed her feelings of love and diligently cultivated her skills.
Just as she was about to confess her love to him, Lin Hao interrupted her, saying, "Lanfeng, what should I do if I like your senior sister? Could you help your senior brother write this book and give it to her?"
Lin Hao's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze and as sweet as a drizzle, so alluring, but unfortunately, it wasn't meant for her.
Later, Lin Hao and her senior sister left Lotus Palace for love, and she never smiled again after that.
Now, Lin Hao's smile has returned, a testament to the joy of reunion.
"Where is my mother? Why can't I see her?" Lin Ping asked curiously.
Judging from Lin Fugui's description, Lin Ping's mother may have met with misfortune twenty years ago. Even though they had never met, Lin Ping felt a pang of sorrow.
“Your mother has other things to do, but she would be very happy to know that you are still alive,” Lin Hao replied vaguely.
Lin Ping finally understood that his father had never intended to look for him.
It was Jiang Lanfeng who dragged him back to the Lotus Palace in a fit of pique, and then he met him by chance.
"My mother is really not dead?" This was the question Lin Ping most wanted to know.
"You brat, how dare you curse your mother to die!" Lin Hao angrily smacked Lin Ping on the head.
His angry expression was completely genuine, proving he wasn't lying.
"In that case, quickly call my mother here. I want to marry my wife," Lin Ping said in a serious tone.
"Didn't you and Yunying already get married?" Lin Hao asked in confusion.
He kept calling her "wife," so they must have been married.
"It's all because of your junior sister that we were forced to divorce!" Lin Ping said angrily, pointing at Jiang Lanfeng, then immediately chuckled, "Besides, my wife isn't the only one who wants to marry me..."
Lin Ping has never had a good impression of Jiang Lanfeng. He previously tried to prevent Jiang Lanfeng from being with Jiang Yunying, and now he wants to hinder the relationship between his parents.
If she weren't Jiang Yunying's aunt, Lin Ping would have said even harsher things.
"Marry several wives?" Lin Hao glared at him and said, "It's good, but it's not as faithful as your old man's!"
What does "good, good" mean? Does that mean you agree to it?
As expected of his father, he is wise and powerful!
"Let me calculate. Marrying one wife requires a dowry of 100,000 taels. I want to marry five at the same time, that's 800,000. Pay up!" Lin Ping said seriously, counting on his fingers.
Lin Hao was slightly taken aback, unable to keep up with Lin Ping's pace at all.
"Wait a minute, let me sort this out. When did it become possible to marry a wife for 100,000 taels of silver? Are you really going to marry five wives? Besides, how does five wives amount to 800,000 taels?"
“My wife is a princess, isn’t she worth 100,000 taels of silver?” Lin Ping asked, pouting.
“It’s definitely worth it!” Lin Hao nodded.
"Linglong is the current princess, isn't she worth 100,000?"
"It's worth it!"
"Yinyin is incredibly wealthy, isn't she worth at least 100,000?"
"value!"
"Miss Bao and Miss Pei are also from wealthy families. There must be more than five wives in total," Lin Ping fabricated.
Lin Hao lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before softly asking, "Why is it 800,000 for five people?"
"They all brought maids with them as dowry, so they naturally have to pay for them. The price is already discounted to 800,000, so hurry up and pay up," Lin Ping said arrogantly.
"Oh..." Lin Hao rummaged through his money pouch, and after a long while, he awkwardly replied, "But I only have eighty coins... which is about the same as eight hundred thousand."
