Chapter 1108 - 1175: Life Has Never Played by the Rules
"What's wrong? Surprised by what I said?" Xiao Bihai glanced at the dumbfounded Lin Hai, as if she had already seen through his current mood."Uh, this, that..." Lin Hai wasn't sure how to express himself.
"It's quite normal. Some men are destined to attract many women. After all, not every man is so unique and possesses such fatal attraction."
After saying this, Xiao Bihai looked Lin Hai up and down and continued, "Besides, even though your father didn't name you Lin Bi, naming you Lin Hai indirectly shows he liked me."
Lin Hai was instantly at a loss for words.
The name "Lin Bi" is just too much of a trap.
Imagining having to change his name to Lin Bi is terrifying.
Especially among the people Lin Hai interacted with, those with a 'Bi' in their name seemed to be all green tea bitches.
"Aunt Xiao, what did you want to see me about?" Lin Hai asked.
Xiao Bihai shot Lin Hai a resentful look, "Call me Erniang."
"I...," Lin Hai was speechless.
"Hmph, if you don't want to, forget it. When Beast Lin comes back, he'll definitely make you call me that," Xiao Bihai huffed with dissatisfaction.
Lin Hai felt his forehead was about to explode from frustration.
Beast Lin again!!!
Is this the legendary saying 'like father, like son'? Even their nicknames are so similar.
"I called you here because I'm sure you're the son of the so-called dead Beast, so I wanted to give you a heads up," Xiao Bihai stated her purpose.
"What's the heads up?" Lin Hai was curious.
"You need to be careful of the major super families in Yanjing. Because you're Lin Renwang's son, they might want to eliminate you quickly."
"Holy crap!" Lin Hai widened his eyes. What on earth did his old man do back then to incur such wrath?
"Your father held a lot of secrets, some of which were fatally attractive to super families. Back then, those people coveted the secrets your father held and tried to kidnap your mother, which led to a total falling out. In a fit of rage, your father slaughtered various forces, and with hidden manipulators weaving narratives, he was forced into exile," Xiao Bihai explained, her delicate, boneless hand clenching tightly, obviously infuriated by past events.
"What kind of secrets did my father hold?" Lin Hai was immensely curious.
His old man seemed to be a living legend.
"A lot. For instance, your father, at a young age, made a leap into the Legendary realm and, during this period, mastered cultivation techniques that only those at the Human King level could grasp."
Lin Hai widened his eyes again. No wonder his father dared to slay the Xuanyuan Family's four dragons back then; it was evidently due to his superior talent and fearlessness.
"Besides, your father was also proficient in scientific research. During the Immortal Ascension Plan, he was said to be the only one who made significant research achievements in Genetic Potions."
Lin Hai widened his eyes once more. The Immortal Ascension Plan was about finding ways to break human limits and grant mankind the legendary supernatural abilities, abbreviated as superpowers.
Could it be that his father really developed something?
If true, such achievements would possess fatal attraction to any country or force worldwide.
Lin Hai found that the word 'devil' was insufficient to describe his father.
"It seems your father also mastered a shortcut to reach the Human King level," Xiao Bihai's last statement left Lin Hai completely stunned.
If this spread, it would be too overwhelming.
Becoming Legendary is already one in a million.
As for the Human King level, it's hard to find even one in tens of millions, and it lacks specific inheritance or methods.
Finding a shortcut to break through to the Human King level is like increasing the chances of birthing an unparalleled expert, making it as important as the Immortal Ascension Plan's results.
Lin Hai discovered his father held countless treasures people could only dream of.
Unfortunately, the more you gain, the more you also stand to lose.
"Alas, your father was youthful, arrogant, and naive back then. He didn't know how to keep a low profile and was envied by others. The secrets he held were too crucial, leading to the eventual tragedy," Xiao Bihai sighed, lamenting, yet a hero found it difficult to write spring and autumn.
"It seems I need to be extremely careful; otherwise, someone might seek my father's whereabouts and secrets through me," Lin Hai was no fool. As someone who had been through the tests of life and death, not, uh, exams of the erotic massage variety, he immediately realized the precariousness of his situation.
"However, I have a few suggestions," Xiao Bihai spoke again.
"Please go ahead," Lin Hai replied seriously, adopting an open-minded attitude.
"First, you don't need to be overly cautious in Yanjing in the future. Being overly restrained limits your thinking and makes others feel you lack a trump card to rely on."
Lin Hai nodded.
"Second, feel free to be a bit more ostentatious. By standing openly, those in the shadows cannot easily make a move against you. Even if they do, they will be cautious, fearing you may have a trump card and thus refrain from acting rashly."
Lin Hai's eyes lit up. It seemed Aunt Xiao, ahem, was also an expert in hiding strength while appearing weak.
"As for the third point, if you find yourself in crisis, you can always seek help from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. At least one Legendary Peak senior stationed there can assist you."
Lin Hai's eyes lit up again.
A Legendary Peak elder, isn't that someone who can fight wherever they want?
"Lastly, if someone pushes you too hard, you can eliminate a few as a warning to others, even if the targets are heirs or direct lineage members of so-called super families."
Lin Hai's mouth twitched a few times.
If he were to take out the heir of a super family, he probably couldn't stay in Yanjing anymore. He'd have to pack up with the beauties at home and make a quick getaway.
"Hehe, are you worried this will affect your family and friends?" Xiao Bihai saw Lin Hai's concern.
Lin Hai nodded, "Indeed, I'm not afraid for myself, but I don't want my family and friends to get hurt."
"As expected, like father, like son. His sense of loyalty and justice almost made me lose my mind back then, especially when he stormed the Xuanyuan Family and slew the Four Dragons for Xuanyuan Qing, that bitch, tsk tsk."
Lin Hai was at a loss for words. He felt that if Xiao Bihai and Xuanyuan Qing ever met, it would inevitably be an explosive encounter.
"Rest assured, killing a super family's heir is no big deal. Even if I can't settle it myself, I won't let you be in a critical situation."
Lin Hai didn't know what backup Xiao Bihai had, but he could hear the strong confidence in her voice.
"Later, the butler will give you the top-level membership card of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Come by often, and whatever you need, just put it on my tab, but the prerequisite is you must call me Erniang once."
" "
"That title, ahem, I'm a person of principle," Lin Hai declared with a determined attitude, refusing steadfastly.
"I have all the top-grade medicinal materials needed to forge Golden Muscle and Jade Bone," Xiao Bihai enticed, yet internally she marveled how the Human King's son indeed had character and would inevitably achieve great things.
Just as she thought this, Lin Hai's eyes sparkled, seemingly deeply attracted by the top-grade herbs.
Then, with a voice resembling a mosquito's whine, "Erniang" emerged from someone's mouth, entirely lacking his previous refusal.
Xiao Bihai instantly felt that life never played according to the rules.
