A scrumptious dinner was served on the dining table, Lin Xin and Lin Xuan drooled over the food.
"Brother, what’s the occasion?" Lin Xin asked.
"I’ll tell you later." Lin Huang smiled.
Half an hour later, Lin Xin slumped into the chair with a food coma.
"I’m too full, I can’t eat anymore…"
Lin Huang was speechless.
"Can you tell me now?" Lin Xin did not forget about the question that she asked him.
"I"ll be leaving in two days." Lin Huang told her the truth.
Lin Xuan stopped eating and looked at Lin Huang.
"So soon?" Lin Xin had her eyes wide open as she looked at Lin Huang. She knew that Lin Huang was leaving but she did not expect him to leave so soon.
"I didn’t plan to leave that soon but something came up. It’s something that’s along the way so I thought I might as well leave earlier." Lin Huang explained.
"How long… would you be gone for?" Lin Xin hesitated but asked anyway.
"It"ll take at least two months." Lin Huang factored in the time he needed to hunt the Brain Eater which would be impossible to accomplish in a matter of two days.
"Oh…" Lin Xin stared blankly at the table.
"Xiao Xuan, protect your sister while I’m gone, alright?" Lin Huang smiled at Lin Xuan.
"Okay!" Lin Xuan nodded hard.
"Xin Er, prepare two portions of grilled meat in the morning before you go to school. One is for breakfast while another one is kept warm for Lin Xuan"s lunch." Lin Huang told Lin Xin.
"Actually… Xiao Xuan knows how to use the barbecue machine." Lin Xin stuck her tongue out. She taught Lin Xuan to use the barbecue machine because she was lazy to cook for him.
"You silly girl…" Lin Huang shook his head.
"Alright then, Xiao Xuan, you can cook for yourself whenever you are hungry. I still have many monster carca.s.ses with me, I will transfer them to you later." Lin Huang added.
"Okay." Lin Xuan nodded.
After giving it some thought, Lin Huang decided to give his modified SilverPhoenix16 to Lin Xin.
"Pa.s.s this gun to Lin Xuan if you encounter any trouble."
Although they had moved to a different home and changed their names, Lin Huang was worried that the Purple Crow would come for them. Prevention was always better than cure.
Two days pa.s.sed in just a blink of an eye, someone knocked on the door when Lin Huang was preparing breakfast. Mr. Fu stood at the door in a green attire, surprising Lin Huang since it was only a little past seven in the morning.
"Good morning, I hope I"m not bothering you." Mr. Fu seemed to have trimmed his white beard, it looked much neater now. His smile was warm as always.
"No, you are not bothering me. Please, come in. I’m just preparing breakfast." Lin Huang smiled as he shook his head.
"Sure."
Mr. Fu looked around as he entered Lin Huang’s house.
"Nice house. Moderate size, it’s homely. It doesn’t look like the style that you"d like…"
"You are right, master. My sister chose this house." Lin Huang smiled and got a cup of tea for Mr. Fu.
"Please take a seat, I’ll continue making breakfast."
Mr. Fu then sat on the couch in the living room and sipped the tea.
Lin Xin and Lin Xuan followed the smell of the food downstairs.
"Brother, do we have a guest?" Lin Xin heard Lin Huang talking to someone when she was upstairs.
"My master is here." Lin Huang walked out from the kitchen and introduced the both of them to Mr. Fu.
"These are my brother and sister."
"Brother and sister?" Mr. Fu raised his eyebrow. He looked at Lin Xin and smiled. He was stunned when he looked at Lin Xuan.
"What’s wrong, master?" Lin Huang noticed the odd expression on Mr. Fu"s.
"Oh nothing, I was just thinking what should I give them since we’re meeting for the first time."Mr. Fu smiled and explained.
"Let me see what do I have in my storage s.p.a.ce."
Soon, Mr. Fu took out a some food and toys. He seemed to have a storage ring exclusively for gifts for kids.
"Take whatever you like." Mr. Fu smiled at the both of them.
Lin Xin and Lin Xuan looked at Lin Huang.
"Pick whatever you like. Master isn’t a stranger." Lin Huang nodded and smiled.
The both of them went forward to picked out the things that they liked. Mr. Fu picked a lollipop that was the size of a head and gave it to Lin Xuan.
"A lollipop for you."
However, Lin Xuan did not take it.
"Xiao Xuan doesn’t like candy, he only eats meat." Lin Xin explained immediately.
"Oh, is that so…" Mr. Fu was surprised. He kept the lollipop and looked at Lin Xuan again.
As they picked out their gifts, Lin Huang was done preparing breakfast.
"Let’s have breakfast together!"
The both of them kept the gifts in their storage s.p.a.ce and ran to the dining table.
"Master, please eat with us." Lin Huang walked into the living room and smiled at Mr. Fu.
"I haven’t had breakfast in a long time, perhaps I shall taste your cooking." Mr. Fu nodded and walked to the dining table.
The breakfast Lin Huang prepared was simple. Besides Lin Xuan, everyone else got a piece of toast, grilled sausage, two fried eggs, some fruits and a gla.s.s of milk. Meanwhile, there were only grilled sausages, fried eggs and big pieces of grilled meat on Lin Xuan’s plate. Lin Huang was not a great chef when it comes to cooking. However, such a simple breakfast would not require any skill. Mr. Fu was happy with his breakfast. He finished the food but not the milk. Instead, he drank alcohol from his flask.
Lin Xin went to school after breakfast while Lin Huang cleaned the kitchen.
Lin Huang then called Lin Xuan over, "You are the only man in the house when I’m away, take care of your sister." Lin Huang held up his fist.
"I will." Lin Xuan nodded and fist b.u.mped Lin Huang.
"Call me if you need anything. Let me know once you are done watching all the videos. When it’s raining, close all the windows if your sister is not around, don’t let the water flow in…" Lin Huang added while Lin Xuan nodded.
Mr. Fu summoned a black dimensional door, Lin Huang stepped into the door with him and disappeared from their location…
