Chapter 515: Explaining the Background

Lin Shi made a rough calculation. With his current improvement speed, it may take more than ten years or even decades to advance to the ninth level.

This is inevitable.

The stronger the strength, the harder it is to make further progress.

Unless he can devour another ninth-level source beast or mutant plant, it will be difficult to make significant progress in a short period of time.

And the existence of the ninth level may not exist at all.

Not long after Lin Shi returned to Wolong Courtyard, Lin Rongxuan came again.

This time, Lin Shi did not even let Lin Rongxuan in.

"Did you beat my cousin?"

Lin Shi looked at Lin Rongxuan with a very unfamiliar look.

Qi Yun left him the day before yesterday, and came to him yesterday with injuries to keep him away from Lin Rongxuan.

It is impossible that the injury was caused by Qi Yun falling after he went back late at night.

According to the injury described by Lin Siyuan, Qi Yun should have been beaten by someone.

Who else in this base can beat Qi Yun so that he has no power to fight back, except Lin Rongxuan?

Even if the person in front of him is his father.

But he didn't fulfill his kindness of raising him for a day, and Lin Shi didn't think he needed to have any special kindness towards him.

As for the cornucopia, this thing was opened by chance when Lin Shi was about to starve to death in his previous life.

Even Lin Rongxuan probably didn't know that the condition for opening the cornucopia was to require special ancient coins.

The ancient coins and the cornucopia may have been a set, but they were lost in the long river of time for tens of thousands of years. And later people lacked the method to open the cornucopia.

He accidentally found the ancient coins and opened the cornucopia, which cannot be counted as Lin Rongxuan's credit.

Instead, it was Qi Yun.

He had helped him and cared about him many times.

Compared with Lin Rongxuan, the father who had been lying all the time.

For Lin Shi, Qi Yun was obviously closer.

Lin Rongxuan touched the back of his head and did not defend himself.

"I did beat him up. He looked like he deserved a beating. I didn't kill him, I just wanted to teach him a lesson."

"What qualifications do you have to teach him a lesson? Go away, and don't come to me again. You're not welcome here."

Lin Shi was about to close the door.

"Hey? Wait, wait, don't close it yet!"

Lin Rongxuan hurriedly held the door.

"Anything else?" Lin Shi looked at Lin Rongxuan coldly.

Lin Rongxuan saw that the relationship between him and Lin Shi not only did not ease, but got worse.

He gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth.

"If I say that I am your biological father, and the one who raised you before was my subordinate A Zhong. I was hunted down more than 20 years ago, so I could only entrust you to him to raise you. Do you believe me?!"

Lin Rongxuan said this quickly and anxiously, then looked closely at Lin Shi, paying attention to Lin Shi's expression.

But Lin Shi's expression did not change at all, and he still spoke calmly and indifferently:

"If I say that I actually knew it a long time ago. Do you believe me?"

It was Lin Rongxuan who was shocked.

He widened his eyes in disbelief.

"You know? How could you know? Did Ah Zhong tell you?

No, even if Ah Zhong told you about my life, you haven't seen me, how could you know that I am that person?"

Looking at Lin Rongxuan's confused look, he couldn't help but go crazy.

Lin Shi said:

"I once accidentally found a mutant fruit. After eating that fruit, people can clearly recall half of their life memories, including the memory of birth."

"There is such a magical fruit in the world?!"

Lin Rongxuan stared again, and then understood:

"That's right, anything can exist in this era."

Then he reacted:

"So you recognized it a long time ago, and I knew I was your biological father from the first sight?!"

Lin Rongxuan went crazy.

He still regarded himself as a friend of Lin Shi's father.

Little did he know that Lin Shi had always known who he was, and looked at him with a look of ridicule.

If it was someone else, it would be fine, but he had to face his own son.

Lin Rongxuan felt that his dignity as a father was gone.

He was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig out 4 bedrooms and 1 living room with his toes.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?!"

Lin Rongxuan stared at Lin Shi, with a hint of complaint in his tone.

Lin Shi looked back with a calm look and said coldly:

"You don't even admit that you are my father, why should I expose you? What do you want me to say?"

Lin Rongxuan opened his mouth and was speechless.

Then he thought of Qi Yun who was beaten.

"Since you know that I am your father, then your cousin must have nothing to do with you. You don't have to vent your anger on me for someone irrelevant."

Lin Rongxuan still didn't know that Qi Yun was from a hidden family.

He thought Qi Yun was a relative of Lin Shi's adoptive mother.

Lin Shi looked at him coldly.

"Qi Yun is the son of the head of the Qi family."

Lin Rongxuan's eyes widened, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Obviously, he had not guessed this answer.

"That stinky boy is actually A Yuan's nephew?!"

Lin Shi did not speak, just looked at him.

The silence at this time was deafening.

Lin Rongxuan was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time.

Lin Rongxuan owed his wife and resented the Qi family for killing Qi Yuan.

But that was a matter of the previous generation.

The person who later became the head of the Qi family was Qi Yuan's biological brother.

As a junior of the Qi family, Qi Yun had nothing to do with the grievances of the previous generation.

Before coming to the official base, Lin Rongxuan learned that the Qi family had been wiped out by the base.

"Huh? Didn't you destroy the Qi family? Then why do you still have such a good relationship with Qi Yun?"

Lin Rongxuan suddenly thought of it.

"What I killed was the other branch of the Qi family. Qi Yun's father and his branch were killed by Qi Qiu Heng's men long ago due to internal fighting."

"So that's it, that's it. No wonder, no wonder..."

No wonder Qi Yun looks a lot like his A Yuan.

Lin Rongxuan murmured to himself.

Lin Rongxuan noticed that the way Lin Shi looked at him was cold and unfamiliar, so he quickly explained:

“I didn’t know Qi Yun was A Yuan’s nephew, if I knew I would never hit him.

As for pretending to be a friend, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept the sudden change of father, so I made this move.

What happened back then was indeed my fault, because Qi Qiu Heng's people were chasing you, and I couldn't protect you from harm, so I had no choice but to lure them away on my own.

After all these years, after the end of the world came, I made a breakthrough through hardships and prepared to come back and kill that villain Qi Qiuheng. Unexpectedly, the Qi family had been destroyed long ago. I didn’t even expect that you had learned about your life experience and avenged me that I couldn’t avenge back then..."

Lin Rongxuan talked about his experiences over the years. Although it was brief and seemed easy, it contained huge hardships and dangers.

It turns out that Qi Qiu Heng's people were still looking for Lin Rongxuan's whereabouts even before the end of the world.

At that time, Lin Rongxuan took all dangers and the whereabouts of the cornucopia on himself, and he and Qi Qiuheng kept chasing and escaping.

This allowed Lin Shi and Lin Mingzhen to not be discovered or even suspected by the Qi family all these years.

Lin Rongxuan's eyes were full of apologies, and he looked at his father's love and boundless longing for his son, and said:

"I'm sorry, Xiao, for making you suffer all these years."

Lin Shi's eyes changed.

He clearly didn't want to pay attention to this person from the bottom of his heart.

But I don't know why when I heard Lin Rongxuan say these words and said that you have suffered all these years, there was an uncontrollable sourness in my nose.

He was forced down.

Lin Shi turned his head away stubbornly.

"What's the use of saying sorry? Can a word of sorry bring the dead back to life?"

In his previous life, he didn't know who his biological father was until his death.

What's the use of being sorry?

Lin Shi clenched his hands hanging by his sides.

Lin Rongxuan's face was filled with guilt.

"I know, I know, I will definitely find a way to make it up to you in the future.

Hours, please forgive me for my absence for so many years.

Give me a chance to make it up to you, okay? "
