The Traveler
PLEASE KEEP IT A SECRET
Lin Dong checked the contents of the storage pouch he received. The small pouch was different from Lin Dong's, as the dimensions of the space were wider. Two chests contained gold and silver coins, a piece of paper and a ring tied with a white cloth.
The paper and ring were taken by Lin Dong, then unfolded the paper and started reading it.
"whoever reads this letter, please take care of my son. His name was Lin Yun San. Take all the silver and gold, but give her the ring when she grows up. PLEASE KEEP this child safe for his safety and yours. Also tell her that Lin Fan (his biological father) loves her very much"
"ohhhh,, my grandson" muttered Lin Dong as he wiped away the tears that began to drip.
"where is he" continued Lin Dong as if he had just regained consciousness.
"he cared for Lin San and his wife" replied Hutian.
"alright, please keep this incident a secret and hide the item" Lin Dong said as he handed Gusian a storage bag containing two crates. While the ring tied to the cloth was given to Hutian. A piece of paper that was still in his hand was immediately burned.
Three days passed from the tragic incident that befell his family, at this time Lin Dong and his wife drowned themselves together with his medicinal herbs. The afternoon of the third day felt a different atmosphere in the stone valley village. Two large white eagles swirled over the abyss of mist.
While on the other hand, there was a roar of horses heading towards the rock valley village. Lin Dong and the citizens immediately gathered to greet them.
"greetings Elder Lin Dong" said Lin Tian after the troupe stopped.
"ohhhh,, patriarch of the clan, from then on I am not the clan elder" Lin Dong replied flatly.
"don't get angry, let's forget about that incident" Lin Tian replied.
"what is the purpose of this patriarch of the village clan" asked Lin Dong.
"hey old man, who is courteous with your clan patriarch" hardened a young man next to Lin Tian.
"huh, what a courteous attitude are you with this old man as well" Lin Dong replied.
"hey, this young master can kill you and destroy this village" he threatened.
The faces of Lin Dong and the citizens began to look withstanding anger.
"could the young master not make things worse" the middle-aged man beside him rebuked.
"i'm Hong Cu, the elder of one of the sky sword sects" he said introducing himself.
"what is the purpose of the elder's visit in our village" Lin Dong replied as he suppressed his emotions.
Hong Cu then explained that Lin Fan was already a young elder in the sky sword sect. Silently he married the patriarch's daughter of one of the noble clans and his wife had given birth. But when the clan patriarch found out, he had already run away with his son. Lin Fan's wife was taken by her family.
"my people chased him when he ran away" the young man said. Although he was seriously injured he was able to escape and his trail ended up in the abyss of fog.
"the bastard who dared to snatch my future wife, finally died, hahahaha" the young man laughed with satisfaction.
"killer,,,,," came the cry of Lin Dong's wife and he fainted.
"who are you that killed my son and grandson,,, me," said Lin Dong while holding back his anger, then collapsed from the accumulated anger.
"master,,," Hutian said as he held onto Lin Dong's body.
"you lift the master into the house" he continued shouting at the residents.
"my master and mistress passed out hearing this news, then what else do you want" Hutian asked a little loudly.
"Hutian, you're the only loyal guardian of Elder Lin Dong, I want to ask when was the last time your young master came home" Lin Tian asked.
"about ten years ago" replied Hutian.
"sorry our arrival caused chaos in this village" Hong Cu said with a sigh.
"this is the legacy of your young master and in this case the sect can only prevent continued bloodshed" he added, throwing a storage bag at Hutian.
"thank you, if you can tell who the young man next to the elder is" Hutian replied as he caught the pouch.
"i am Hong Tan, the young master of the Hong clan. Do you want revenge" said Hong Tan while sneering.
"thank you for telling us your identity" said Hutian flatly.
"sorry, please master to leave, at this time our village is in mourning" said Hutian
"send my apologies and condolences to Elder Lin Dong" said Lin Tian.
"well, I'll tell you" replied Hutian.
The cavalry left, while Hutian sighed. His mind was really tense, between being angry and keeping his little young master a secret. The residents then dispersed and some looked at the leader of his village.
Day passes and the night is welcomed. Conceived by the meeting of the lin clan, those who came to the stone valley village were immersed in his discussion. Until late at night they grapple with each other's arguments. Looking at the reactions of Lin Dong and the citizens, it seemed like they had just learned of the incident. So it was likely that Lin Fan had gotten there.
"we go to them one more time" Hong Tan asked
"young master, you" muttered the patriarch of the lin clan
"no,,,," Elder Hong Cu replied
"why elders" asked Hong Tan
"you know what it's not like to lose" Elder Hong Cu said
"i also lost my future wife, elder" elak Hong Tan
"it's just your passions and ambitions, have you ever lost your siblings or parents" Elder Hong Cu said
"as the elder of the holy sword sect and the elder of the Hong clan, but in this case, I stand by the side of the holy sword sect" Elder Hong Cu continued
"huh alright, but what stage is the old man, why can't I see" Young Master Hong Tan asked
"he was indeed unable to cultivate, it happened thirty years ago. For the sake of saving a small child from clan punishment, he was willing to break his stop" explained the clan patriarch.
The mood in that place was silent. Sacrificing cultivation was sacrificing his pride.
"just for a little boy, why and who is he" Young Master Hong Tan asked
"his parents committed a fatal mistake on the clan, he was put to death along with his family. Upon arriving at the child, Lin Dong asked for forgiveness for him. Because he is the only nephew. An elder allowed Lin Dong's origin to destroy his cultivation" said the clan patriarch
These two days, there was no movement from him. Upon their arrival, the clan patriarch had people watch over him. And there is nothing to note from the person, because the stages are only in the early earth stage.
### In the lin clan academy there are four stages of cultivation
Human Level Level 1-9
