Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 86 - 87: The Secret

Chapter 86: Chapter 87: The Secret

As the alcohol flowed down his throat, so did Lin Sidong’s heart sink.

This matter could finally be considered concluded.

In front of Sun Yusheng, Yu Shilong, Lv Wenguang, He Mingtong, and others, Lin Siyuan accepted their apologies, thinking that their family’s days ahead wouldn’t be too tough.

However, even though Lin Siyuan accepted, things were definitely not going to be as good as before.

That was something that could never be undone, no matter what.

At this moment, Lin Sidong felt deep regret, regret for everything he had done in the past, his attitude towards Lin Siyuan’s family, whatever his reasons had been, he would never dare to repeat such actions from now on.

After toasting together, the family returned to their own table.

When the banquet ended, they were the first to leave because they were too ashamed to stay any longer; as they left, Lin Sidong had already decided that he would visit Lin Hao’s home more often in the future.

To let Lin Siyuan know that his apology this time was sincere.

Perhaps there was initially some ulterior motive, but the moment Lin Siyuan forgave him, he felt the return of brotherly love that had been missing for many years.

The graduation banquet was indeed sensational and became the talk of Qingyang Town after dinner, especially about the Lin Sidong’s family, who was destined to be despised by the people in Lu County, and Qingyang Town.

After the banquet, people like He Mingtong and Lv Wenguang all bade their farewells and left.

Sun Yusheng and Yu Shilong were the last to depart.

As they said goodbye, the evening was already growing dim, and a line of luxury cars departed from Qingyang Town, causing another sensation. Unlike their arrival, many people now knew that the cars were headed to the Lin Family’s.

The Lin Family, after this day, went from being relatively unknown to somewhat famous.

Naturally, the events of today slowly spread.

In the evening.

After everything was tidied up and the sky had completely darkened, Lin Hao was about to return to his room to cultivate when Lin Siyuan said to him, "Lin Hao, come here, your dad wants to have a chat with you."

"Okay, what’s up?" Lin Hao asked.

Lin Siyuan closed the door and took Lin Hao into the room: "I originally didn’t want to tell you about this, but after discussing it with your mom, we think you’re capable enough to know."

Lin Hao was surprised and joked, "Dad, what is it? You’re being so serious, don’t tell me I’m not your biological son?"

"You already know?" To his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Siyuan replied with astonishment, "Did your mom tell you? That woman really can’t keep her mouth shut."

"Know what? My mom didn’t say anything." Lin Hao was stunned, and for a moment didn’t quite grasp what was happening.

"You’re not our biological son." Lin Siyuan continued, and then realizing that Lin Hao had just made an offhand remark, he smiled bitterly and said, "You guessed right, Lin Hao. Over these years, your dad never told you, but... you truly aren’t your mom and my son."

Lin Hao was completely dumbfounded.

For a thousand years.

Even though he had lived for a thousand years,

When Lin Siyuan earnestly revealed such a thing, he still found it somewhat hard to accept:

"Dad, are you sure... you’re not joking?"

"Of course, I’m not."

Lin Siyuan turned around, walked over to the wardrobe, crouched down, and started rummaging through it. In a short time, he took out a box locked with a small padlock from a corner.

Upon seeing that box, Lin Hao couldn’t help but recall that he had seen it once as a child. The box had been locked at the time, and he had asked his dad what was hidden inside.

But his dad had an abnormal reaction, flew into a rage, and then beat him.

In his previous life, after he returned home, almost everything had been destroyed, and he never saw that box again.

Lin Siyuan took out a tiny key and opened the box.

Then, he took out a ring from the box.

The moment he saw that ring.

Lin Hao’s eyes became sharp.

Because this was not an ordinary ring, it had Primordial Qi circulating within.

This was something not of the Mortal World!

Void Ring!

Lin Hao had only seen this ring in one place.

That was the Eternal Life Realm!

Even in the Eternal Life Realm, it was extremely rare, because it was not ordinary—it contained another dimensional space.

On the ring, a black stone the size of a fingernail was embedded, resembling jade, called Void Meteorite. It was the key to the ring. The black stone elevated the status of the Void Ring by tens of thousands of times.

A common Void Ring had limited space, but with Void Meteorite, the internal space could expand according to the owner’s strength.

In his previous life as the Immortal Emperor, Lin Hao did not need it, but still wanted to obtain Void Meteorite to give to a friend. Alas, over a thousand years, he only found a small piece, creating three rings, which he gave to three important people.

He, as the Immortal Emperor, only had three.

The rarity of the ring was thus imaginable.

Seeing that ring, Lin Hao’s heart became extremely perturbed. The appearance of such an object in the Mortal World was truly shocking.

"My son, this ring is the proof," said Lin Siyuan. "Just less than a year after your mother and I got married, that night, you appeared at our doorstep."

"You were not wearing anything, just lying there in the cold winter, clutching only this ring tightly in your hand. We waited for your parents to come back and take you, and we looked for them, but there was never any news."

"Later, your mother and I decided to raise you ourselves. There’s a character ’Hao’ on the black stone of the ring, and we named you, raising you into adulthood."

Lin Siyuan, holding the ring, seemed to be recalling the past:

"Originally, your mother and I didn’t want to tell you this, we were worried that after telling you, you would go in search of your parents, but you probably wouldn’t have been able to find them."

"We didn’t want this to disturb your mind, but now it’s different. Lin Hao, you’ve become successful, you have the right to pursue the truth."

Lin Siyuan handed the ring over to Lin Hao: "If there’s a chance, find your biological parents, and don’t blame them. I think they must have had their reasons for leaving you at our doorstep."

Before anyone knew, Zhou Zilan appeared at the door, her eyes red: "Son, although mom is reluctant to let you go and is afraid you might not acknowledge me after finding your birth mother, I still don’t want you to be kept in the dark, and even less do I want to deceive you."

Taking the ring, Lin Hao had many thoughts, and for a moment, he understood many things from his past life that he couldn’t comprehend before. However, at that moment, he didn’t think too much. He put the ring into his pocket and earnestly said to Lin Siyuan and Zhou Zilan:

"Dad, mom, don’t worry. No matter what, Lin Hao will always be your child. No matter who my birth parents are, in my eyes, my dad will always be my dad, my mom will always be my mom."

"Kid, and don’t forget your grandpa will always be your grandpa too," Lin Siyuan laughed. "Alright, go sleep now. Don’t say such mushy things, you sound just like your mother, I don’t care that much."

"Then you both should rest early too." Lin Hao turned and quietly left the room, closing the door behind him.

In the moment he closed the room door, he heard sobbing, a man’s sobbing.

What does it matter?

To raise a child for over a decade, to conceal the truth for over a decade, and to speak it out at this moment would mean they might lose everything—is it really so easy to not care?

"Dad, mom, rest assured, Lin Hao will be your child for all his life," Lin Hao said firmly.

After taking one last look at the door, he returned to his own room, took out the Void Ring, and began to observe it closely.
