The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 1590 - 1595: Meeting the Father-in-Law
"Lin An, do you know what you’re saying? Get out immediately!"
Mu Shanshan immediately shouted sternly. At such a moment, Lin An actually said those words; he was truly too disobedient. They could absolutely discuss it later, but Lin An was so thoughtless, truly too thoughtless!
However, Lin Fei stopped Mu Shanshan, "Alright, Shanshan, don’t mind it, let them be."
"Dad! We need your blessing, not this kind of attitude from you now!" Lin An pleaded with Lin Fei, full of desperation.
Lin Fei frowned deeply, eventually shook his head, and went downstairs.
"Xia Xue, let’s go." After speaking, Lin Fei headed for the main entrance.
"Where to?" Xia Xue was momentarily stunned, not understanding where Lin Fei meant to go.
"Go home for a visit. Now that you’re awake, you should really go home once." Lin Fei replied.
"I see, I understand. Wait for me."
Xia Xue said, then turned to Lin An behind, saying: "Hehe, Lin An, don’t worry, stepmom will help persuade your dad for you." After speaking, she quickly left.
Lin Fei didn’t want to say anything more, nor did he want to care about anything further. He took Xia Xue and left, heading towards the Xia Family where Xia Jiahe was.
Now the Xia Family had become one of the "great families," thanks largely to Lin Fei’s efforts. After this matter, the Ancient Martial World was completely disrupted, resulting in the worldly families being safe and sound; this could be considered a blessing in disguise.
After all, worldly families generally held not much status in the Ancient Martial World unless they were great families or aristocratic families; only a few families were that powerful.
Lin Fei brought Xia Xue to the territory of the Xia Family. The servants saw Xia Xue had returned and greeted her at once. They noticed Xia Xue was well, and each of them was immensely joyful. After all, before when Xia Xue was okay, she often cared for these servants, thus they were fairly close to Xia Xue.
Soon, Xia Jiahe received the news. Lin Fei and Xia Xue were heading to where Xia Jiahe was, and Xia Jiahe had already stepped out of the house, coming to greet Lin Fei and Xia Xue.
"Lin Fei! Xiaoxue! You... Xiaoxue? You’re! You’re okay?" Xia Jiahe, extremely excited, arrived in front of his daughter, seriously observing Xia Xue.
Xia Xue smiled and said, "Dad, what are you doing? I’m perfectly fine!"
"As long as you’re fine! That’s what’s important! For over ten years, you don’t know how each time I came to see you, I called you and you didn’t respond, I cried out and you didn’t answer, I... sigh! As long as you’re okay, that is enough!" Xia Jiahe felt utterly gratified, his daughter was fine and that’s all that mattered.
Seeing Xia Jiahe so emotional, added with those words from Xia Jiahe, seemed to touch Lin Fei’s heart. He now had a son, and his son was at the age of discussing marriage; if his child encountered such matters, would he feel as heartbroken as Xia Jiahe, yet be able to do nothing?
Thinking of this, Lin Fei felt a bit of self-reproach. He felt that he should indeed not interfere in his child’s matters, after all, they... sigh! Thinking of this, Lin Fei sighed again.
"Lin Fei, what are you sighing about? Also, where have you been these twelve years? You didn’t even care or ask about my daughter, I... I really want to beat you up!" Xia Jiahe said sternly to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei awkwardly smiled but didn’t explain much, only saying he’d been trapped at the bottom of a cliff, only coming out in the end.
At this moment, Xia Jiahe saw Xia Yihua behind and asked in confusion: "Xiaohua, weren’t you going to the Beidou Sect to become an apprentice? Why are you back?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Xia Yihua stepped forward, "Uncle, I have already become an apprentice. I am now a disciple of Leng Daoqiu, the Sect Leader of Beidou Sect."
Hearing these words from Xia Yihua, Xia Jiahe’s brow distinctly furrowed, and he looked to Lin Fei. What he hoped was for Lin Fei to take Xia Yihua as a disciple. Lin Fei’s strength and position were not something ordinary people could compare to. Although Leng Daoqiu wasn’t bad, Lin Fei was his relative, and if he could take him as a disciple, the benefits would be even more.
"Alright, let’s go inside." Xia Jiahe turned around, leading the two into the house, leaving Xia Yihua with a slightly furrowed brow. He could sense his uncle’s dissatisfaction with him becoming Leng Daoqiu’s disciple.
"Hmph, in the future I will prove that I’m right! You’re all wrong!" Xia Yihua thought to himself, then strode to catch up with Xia Jiahe and the others.
At this moment, Lin Fei was sitting in the main hall, speaking: "Father-in-law, I just emerged from the Abyss, and I’ve been busy since, so I haven’t had the time to visit you, please forgive me."
"It’s nothing, I have heard about your affairs. You saved the Ancient Martial World; that’s a significant matter. Comparatively, whether you visited me is a minor issue." Xia Jiahe was very understanding, especially since Lin Fei saving the entire Ancient Martial World made him, as Lin Fei’s father-in-law, feel quite proud.
"By the way, dad, how’s everything with our Xia Family recently, is it doing well?" Xia Xue asked.
"Haha, Xia Xue has grown up, knows to be concerned about family matters now." Xia Jiahe felt very gratified.
"No, dad, I have always been sensible, alright! It’s not that I’m thoughtless." Xia Xue said aggrievedly. Perhaps only in front of her father would Xia Xue reveal such a childlike expression.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong to say that. The Xia Family is doing very well recently, you needn’t worry anymore. Moreover, the Xia Family will only get better and better, there’s absolutely no doubt about that. Of course, we have Lin Fei to thank for this; it’s Lin Fei who has been making our Xia Family better." Xia Jiahe said.
Lin Fei nodded and smiled but didn’t say much.
At this moment, Xia Yihua, standing by the side, suddenly said: "Uncle, what you said isn’t right. Our Xia Family is a great family no matter how you look at it. All the developments are due to everyone’s efforts, how can we credit it all to one person? I think even without brother-in-law, our Xia Family can still become renowned for generations!"
Xia Yihua’s words made everyone present pause for a moment, but then they all thought a child’s words were nothing to refute, and everyone smiled, not taking it to heart.
This made Xia Yihua frown, pursing his lips and saying nothing further.
Lin Fei then looked to Xia Yihua, "If it were you, are you confident in making the Xia Family renowned for generations?"
"Of course! Why not!" Xia Yihua confidently responded to Lin Fei.
"It’s good to have such lofty ambitions, I’ve remembered your words now, don’t disappoint me!" Lin Fei said, giving Xia Yihua quite a bit of pressure.
"Hmph, everything I’m doing is not for you to see, but for the Xia Family!"
"I know, so I hope you succeed." Lin Fei replied.
