Chapter 4: The Lin Siblings
Lin Rou was immediately a bit flustered; this guy was too malicious. It seemed he was talking about the woman on the other end of the phone, but in reality, he was mocking her!
Lin Rou was somewhat adorably mumbling to herself on the side: "The Chu family from the northern region? Chu Yu? Isn't that the useless..."
After a while, he looked at his younger sister with a face full of affection and said, "Xiao Rou, don't you feel that this place is a bit different?"
Indeed, I also find it quite incredible. Although both individuals hail from the north, one is in the heavens while the other is on the ground, and their status and position differ vastly. If I had not met that extraordinary woman with the same surname once and remembered her voice, I would not dare to believe this is true
To Lin Rou's surprise, her brother took the initiative to propose exchanging contact information with Chu Yu, seemingly very interested in him and wanting to befriend him
A girl like Lin Shimeng belongs to the realm of true goddesses, and there are few men who dare to claim that they are not moved by such women
In the distant Yanjing, atop a skyscraper, in a vast and spacious office, an exquisitely beautiful woman sits in the boss's chair behind a grand desk, gazing somewhat dazedly at her freshly painted crimson nails.
Chu Yu replied expressionlessly, "Sister, is it interesting to bring up an old joke from decades ago?" As he spoke, he cast a glance at Lin Rou, either intentionally or unintentionally.
The jade-like hand holding the phone trembled slightly, her face displaying a hint of mild panic, and her eyes reflected a sense of disbelief
The other end of the phone suddenly went silent
Lin Yue nodded slightly: "But when you and I came up, he was the only one here. Think about that group of people blocking the mountain below, and then think about the call Lin Shimeng made to Chu Yu? In fact, there is also... up here, there is the smell of firearms, someone has fired a gun here!"
The voice on the other end of the phone continued: "I can guess it right away! Not bad, I see you’ve started flirting with girls. When will you bring one for me to see? I must tell you, if I don’t like her, I absolutely won’t allow you to take her home! Don’t forget your identity!"
Lin Rou could not help but hum softly, thinking to herself how this person truly lacked appreciation. Did they not know who my brother is? How could they be so disrespectful, leaving no contact information and merely saying, "Let's get together again sometime"? It was clearly a dismissive response
Muttering to myself: This little brat, didn't he just encounter danger? Why does he suddenly seem like a different person? When did he become so bold? How dare he confess to me? Truly deserves a beating
On what basis do you speak? Who do you think you are? What is your status? My background is superior to yours, you know? Do I need your approval?
Lin Rou raised her head, looking at her brother with a somewhat dazed and adorable expression: "What is different? Is the spiritual energy at the summit of Mount Tai stronger? Isn't the spiritual energy of our home stronger?"
What old joke from decades ago, I enjoy it, do you have any say in it
Alright, alright, you are a boy! You can't expect me, this little girl, to bear everything, can you? Lin Rou said with a lazy expression
This matter is rather intriguing. Perhaps those outside would never imagine that the most dazzling gem of the Beidi Lin family has such a close relationship with the wasteful young master of the Chu family, Chu Yu. Lin Yue's face revealed a look of contemplation
Do you feel it again? You, my dear, have such great talent, especially in the field of Feng Shui, where you are the most outstanding in the entire family. Yet, you are unwilling to put in the effort. In fact, if you were to exert just a little more effort, your brother would not have to bear such great pressure...
He is now a true prodigy
"How is that possible?" Lin Rou was completely astonished
Lin Rou blinked her pair of lively big eyes at her brother, a look of confusion evident between her brows
However, he felt very warm inside, knowing that the girl was tough on the outside but soft-hearted. She was afraid that he would be bullied in Longcheng and wanted to accompany him to intimidate those people.
Chu Yu's lips twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: It feels like this girl has sensed something, doesn't it?
"Brother Chu, I am truly sorry, my sister..." Lin Yue looked at his sister with a hint of reproach, and it was evident that he cared deeply for her, feeling somewhat helpless in the situation.
Brother, you can't really take him as a person, can you? Lin Rou was still somewhat indignant; that guy's words were too hurtful.
However, upon reconsideration, what does this have to do with me? Can one be caught in the crossfire while lying down?
What do you think?" Lin Yue finally withdrew his gaze and smiled at his sister
"Brother, have you used the Heavenly Secrets Technique?" Lin Rou looked at Lin Yue with some surprise, "You actually used the Heavenly Secrets Technique, which can only be used once a month, for this guy?"
Chu Yu cast a somewhat guilty glance at Lin Rou over there, his lips twitching. There was no way around it; the person who claimed to be his sister for years, being only one day older than him, truly understood him too well
Who is your little sister? And... do you dare say that I am uneducated? You... you stop right there! Lin Rou was so furious that she gritted her teeth and waved her small fists at the back of Chu Yu, who was leaving without looking back
Chu Yu smiled nonchalantly, then nodded, with a calm expression: "Indeed, I am that useless person."
Chu Yu said, "I have graduated and will soon start working. I want to take the opportunity to relax a bit before I am completely tied down."
I feel that... he is indeed a bit, um, somewhat different from the legendary... Lin Rou furrowed her brow slightly and said softly: "According to legend, Chu Yu was a once-in-a-generation genius in his childhood, but for some unknown reason, he became useless and turned into an ordinary person. Yet just now, when he saw us, he hardly resembled a useless person. I even had the feeling that he could see right through me. Moreover, his demeanor and reactions were incredibly calm; it was not an act, but rather a kind of... confidence, yes, confidence!"
Lin Yue displayed a friendly smile as he looked at Chu Yu and said, "I have met with Brother Chu Liang a few times."
Others do not understand, but she is very aware of how proud her brother is
At this moment, a large number of tourists began to ascend the stone steps. The sounds of their laughter and conversation could be heard from afar
Lin Rou, who was eavesdropping from the side, wore a dazed and adorable expression, feeling quite astonished by the judgment of the woman on the other end of the phone
Chu Yu smiled and said, "It's really nothing, I have gotten used to it."
However, for Lin Yue, although Lin Shimeng is stunning enough, she is not the type he truly desires.
Although Chu Yu is also a member of a hidden family, she is rather inept. Even among the outstanding members of other hidden families, and even those in the top ten of the Talents Ranking, there are few who would prompt her brother to take the initiative to befriend them. Therefore, she is quite curious.
Well, when the opportunity arises, I will take a trip to Longcheng, anyway, I need to find a chance to befriend him Lin Yue said with a serious expression
He is quite impressive! When mentioning Chu Liang, Lin Yue's face showed a hint of admiration. He then asked Chu Yu, "How did you come to Mount Tai, Brother Chu?"
Lin Yue was slightly taken aback upon hearing this name, his gaze filled with a hint of curiosity: "The Chu family from the North?"
Soon, her eyes lit up: "A battle took place here! And... it ended in a very short time!"
Lin Rou!" Lin Yue frowned and looked at the girl: "You have gone too far.
"What unrequited love, don't talk nonsense." Lin Yue felt a bit embarrassed
Lin Rou also realized that she had misspoken, and feeling a bit embarrassed, she stuck out her tongue and said, "Hehehe..."
On the other end of the phone, a melodious and clear female voice rang out, but her words were anything but polite: "Do you have any idea how dangerous this is? If it weren't for your bodyguard finding me here, I wouldn't have known you sneaked away! What do you want to do? Do you want to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?"
However ...! ... You definitely do not know, sister, that I am no longer a useless person
Elder sister? Who is your elder sister? I am your sister! Not the elder sister! Do you dare to speak to me like that? You little brat, have you gained some courage? Tell me, is there another girl by your side? Do you need your sister to support you? Hee hee hee, you are begging me!
"Lin Shimeng? Are you referring to... the Lin Shimeng from the Lin family in the northern region? The same Lin Shimeng who ranks in the top ten of the Huaxia Talents List?" Lin Rou looked at her brother in disbelief, saying, "How is that possible? How could she possibly have such a close relationship with Chu Yu?"
Chu Yu was slightly taken aback, but soon understood that the siblings Lin Yue and Lin Rou before him must also, like him, come from a hidden family.
Brat, I warn you, hurry back here. Stop indulging in self-pity and playing the role of a little girl in distress. So what if you can't cultivate? Decades ago, no one in the world could cultivate, yet everyone lived just fine. If you dare to disappear, it’s not a big deal, but the key is that you actually kept it from me! Listen carefully, I give you... no, one day’s time. Before this time tomorrow, appear in front of me immediately. If you dare to disappear, it’s not a big deal, but the key is that you actually kept it from me! Listen carefully, I give you... no, one day’s time. Before this time tomorrow, appear in front of me immediately! I will be waiting for you in Yanjing, and then we will go to Longcheng together! Alright, I am very busy, that’s it, goodbye!
Chu Yu thought to himself, then put away the phone and smiled at Lin Yue: "I apologize, Brother Lin, I have some matters to attend to. Whenever you go to Longcheng, we shall meet again!"
However, before she could say anything, the woman on the other end of the phone became furious first
Chu Yu nodded: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time"
Indeed, she is one of the top ten young talents on the Huaxia Talents List. If she were to accompany me to Longcheng, the people there would surely be astonished, and might even feel a bit apprehensive
Chu Yu looked at the caller ID ... ... 101, a faint smile appeared on his face as he gestured slightly to Lin Yue, then pressed the answer button
The two fellows both looked up at the sky, their faces calm and carefree, as if they were gazing at the brightest star in the night sky before dawn, but in reality, they were both straining their ears to eavesdrop
Lin Rou was immediately infuriated, staring wide-eyed at Chu Yu
Chu Yu glanced at Lin Yue and Lin Rou beside him. He understood that for martial artists, it was not difficult to hear the content of the call. However, this call was not significant, so he did not pay much attention to it
"Brother, you aren't also a fan of Lin Shimeng, are you? You have a crush on her, don't you?" Lin Rou looked at her brother with a teasing expression.
However, Lin Rou's delicate little face soon revealed a serious expression as she began to feel with earnestness
Lin Yue nodded, a look of understanding evident in his eyes, clearly aware of Chu Yu's situation. He changed the subject: "It is also a kind of fate that we can meet here; how about we go down the mountain together for a drink later?"
The busy tone came through the phone
Hahaha, you know very well that the person I like is you. Why are you guessing randomly? I just happened to meet two friends of my brother.
Lin Yue glanced at his sister, and the two nodded to each other. After a few leaps, they quickly disappeared from the Jade Emperor Peak
Lin Rou couldn't help but feel speechless. She wondered who the woman on the other end of the phone was and why she was so annoying
Lin Yue nodded and said, "You are right. First, the group of people blocking the mountain at the foot of Mount Tai are definitely not from the Chu family. Those individuals speak with a local accent; they are a group of local tyrants, and the influence of the Chu family does not extend here. Second, the person who just called Chu Yu, if I am not mistaken, should be Lin Shi Meng"
Lin Yue nodded seriously: "This Chu Yu has some tricks up his sleeve; my Heavenly Secrets technique cannot see through him!"
Just as Chu Yu was about to speak, the phone suddenly rang. Zuo Zong and the man with slanted eyes had already been buried by him, so the signal here at Yuhuangding naturally returned to normal
Although her brother did not make it to the top ten of the outstanding talents list, in Lin Rou's heart, those top ten outstanding talents cannot be compared to her brother
Where are you, Chu Yu
As Chu Yu descended the steep steps, one step at a time, Lin Yue remained lost in thought, his gaze lingering for a long time.
Subsequently, Chu Yu bid farewell to Lin Yue. Then he glanced at Lin Rou and said with a smile, "There are many new words online, and also, make sure to read more books later, little sister"
