"Hahaha, Grandpa, who is this Mr. Chen? He's Lin Chen, your future grandson-in-law!" Long Feiyang immediately said when he heard Old Master Long still addressing Lin Chen as Mr. Chen.
Although neither Long Yuling nor Lin Chen had admitted their true relationship yet, as someone who had been through it, he understood it too well. These two had been exchanging glances, and if there wasn't something special between them, it wouldn't be like this!
"Oh? Lin Chen? My future grandson-in-law?" Hearing Long Feiyang's string of titles, Old Master Long was momentarily stunned. He had only taken a pill, and it had only been a few minutes. How had Mr. Chen's identity changed so many times?
"Old Master, I apologize profusely. This humble one, Lin Chen, is not Chen Lin. Hiding my true identity before was out of necessity. I hope you will not hold it against me." Lin Chen then stepped forward and apologized to Old Master Long.
"Bah, why speak of such things? Knowing to conceal one's abilities at such a young age, you're no ordinary person!" Old Master Long waved his hand dismissively. To him, regardless of whether the person was called Chen Lin or Lin Chen, the fact that he had refined a pill that cured all his hidden ailments was an undeniable truth. Strictly speaking, Lin Chen was his life-saving benefactor!
Moreover, the fact that Lin Chen could refine a Fourth-Grade Pure Heart Pill indicated that his alchemist realm had already reached Fourth-Grade! Currently, Fourth-Grade alchemists in Long Country were few and far between. And those old fellows were all in their seventies and eighties. It was perfectly normal for older Fourth-Grade alchemists to be several hundred years old. Yet, Lin Chen before him looked to be only in his twenties, yet could refine genuine Fourth-Grade pills. His future was undoubtedly limitless! Hiding his identity was nothing!
"Thank you for your praise, Old Master." Seeing that Old Master Long did not blame him for hiding his identity, Lin Chen politely clasped his hands in greeting.
"By the way, you mentioned just now that Mr. Lin is my future grandson-in-law, what is this about?" Old Master Long became even more curious.
"Cough, cough, Old Master, it's like this. Yu Ling and I are in a romantic relationship. My mother and Yu Ling's parents are both aware of this." Hearing Old Master Long's question, Lin Chen did not conceal anything and confessed immediately. Regardless of anything else, Long Yuling was now his woman in the truest sense. And over these past days, Long Yuling had been silently helping him. It could be said that without Long Yuling's help, he would absolutely not be where he was today! Her grandfather was naturally his grandfather, wasn't he?
"My goodness, you've met each other's parents? That's wonderful!" Hearing Lin Chen's confession about his relationship with Long Yuling, Old Master Long was overjoyed. Lin Chen's alchemical talent was truly unprecedented. For such a genius to become the Long family's son-in-law would bring immense help to the Long family in the future!
"Old Master, since you have recovered, I shall take my leave!" Lin Chen, concerned about his father's situation, bid farewell to Old Master Long. He understood Lin Kaishan's personality; he was a vengeful person! Now that he had gained the upper hand, he would absolutely not let Lin Chen's father and second uncle off easily! If he didn't hurry back, it might be too late!
"Oh? Why the rush? At least let's have a meal together!" Seeing Lin Chen in such a hurry to leave, Old Master Long was curious.
"Grandpa, Lin Chen's biological father is Lin Xianfeng, the former acting head of the Lin family. The second branch of the Lin family is currently seizing power and will likely move against Lin Chen's father." Seeing that Old Master Long was unaware of the full situation, Long Feiyang stepped forward to explain.
"What? Daring to act against Mr. Lin's father? They're asking for death! Let's go, Feiyang, Feihu, gather our men immediately and head to the Lin family to lend Mr. Lin's father some support! I want to see which scoundrel dares to go against Mr. Lin's father!" Upon learning the truth, Old Master Long waved his hand grandly, looking very excited. To the current Old Master Long, Lin Chen was not only his grandson-in-law but also his life-saving benefactor and the hope for the Long family's future development! Such talent, their relationship must be maintained!
"Yes, Father, I'll go prepare immediately!" Hearing his father's order, Long Feiyang dared not delay and quickly went to make arrangements.
"Old Master, thank you for your kind offer. I'll return to the Lin family to check on things first, and you can come over after you're ready, how about that?" Seeing that Old Master Long was willing to personally intervene, Lin Chen expressed his gratitude. However, Lin Chen understood his father's personality; he was somewhat indecisive and couldn't be ruthless, which had led to the current situation. If he wanted his father to truly secure his position as the head of the Lin family, he had to learn to be heartless! Lin Kaishan, that scoundrel, could even kill his own nephew; what use was it to keep his life?
"Hmm, alright. Mr. Lin's request, this old man will naturally obey!" Hearing Lin Chen's words, Old Master Long pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement. Although he didn't know Lin Chen's exact plan, since Lin Chen had spoken, he couldn't refuse, could he?
"Then I'll take my leave!" With Old Master Long's permission, Lin Chen immediately turned and walked out. Watching Lin Chen's retreating back, Old Master Long was filled with emotion.
"Tsk tsk tsk, such a young Fourth-Grade alchemist, and he's our Long family's son-in-law, truly heaven blesses our Long family!" Old Master Long clicked his tongue and looked at Long Yuling beside him. He suspected that if Lin Chen hadn't considered Long Yuling's identity, he wouldn't have come to the Long family to save this old man, would he?
"Yuling, do you and Mr. Lin like each other?" Old Master Long then asked Long Yuling with curiosity.
"Grandpa, Lin Chen and I met a long time ago. Back then, he was only a Second-Grade alchemist at the Foundation Establishment stage. I never expected him to have grown to such a level now." Hearing her grandfather's question, Long Yuling's face instantly flushed red.
