Chapter 163: A Blind Date?“Eh?”
Hearing the shouts behind him, Linley slowly turned around. And then, he saw the cult leader of the Li Fire Cult, Roderick, dragging his daughter over!
“Cult leader, why are you here?”
Lin Lei said with a curious look on his face while cupping his hands.
Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he had thought of Roderick.
But of course, there was also his daughter, Natasha.
Ever since he had returned from the secret plane, he had been busy raising his level of insight. He hadn"t paid Roderick a visit at the Church of the Li Fire Sect.
Could it be that this fellow was here to blame him for not coming to find him?
Lin Lei smiled on the surface, but in his heart, he was speculating.
Only, not long after his speculations, he realized that he had guessed wrong.
Because Roderick quickly said..,
“Little Master Lin Lei truly is a genius. I can"t imagine that in just a few short months, he rose from being a sage to becoming a great sage!”
“In the entire continent, someone who is able to reach the level of achievement which Little Brother Lin Lei has attained is definitely a rarity…”
“To have a genius like you in the Li Fire sect is an honor for the Li Fire sect… but of course, I, Roderick, will always welcome you, Master Lin Lei, to stay here.”
“Master Lin Lei is welcome to stay here for a long period of time. If you need anything, please let me know!”
Roderick immediately came up and gave a rainbow-colored fart, then began to lick the dog as much as he could.
But after he finished speaking, he made Linley feel rather embarra.s.sed.
“Mr. Roderick, thank you very much. However, I don"t need anything right now.”
“On the other hand, the entire Li Fire sect can train diligently for the time being, because within a hundred kilometers of the Li Fire Sect, I have increased the mageforce fluctuations by ten times.”
“If I train in such an environment, I"ll definitely improve very quickly. I might even be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort…”
Lin Lei said slowly.
Hearing this, Roderick immediately became even more respectful. He bowed deeply towards Lin Lei, then said excitedly, “Master Lin, thank you.”
“I was just saying that recently, the entire sect has been surrounded by lush vegetation and abundant magical energy. What exactly happened? So all of this was thanks to Master Lin! Thank you, Master Lin…”
“Our Li Fire sect has Master Lin. He really is timely a.s.sistance!”
“Master Lin, I hope that you won"t hold a grudge against me for my indifferent att.i.tude towards you in the past. Blame me for being blind, for not being able to see through Master Lin Lei"s peerless talent in training…”
Roderick said excitedly.
From the look on his face, it could be seen that his words were completely sincere, without the slightest bit of falsehood.
But when these words entered Lin Lei"s ears, they sounded very strange…
This…
What was wrong with this fellow Roderick today?
Why did he come to find him for no reason today, just to say all this flattery?
This wasn"t like him at all!
This old fellow had always been very devious.
As the saying goes, one doesn"t visit without a request.
This fellow definitely had something to ask of me, or perhaps, he had taken a fancy to some ability of mine…
Lin Lei a.n.a.lyzed it in his mind.
Very quickly, he came to a conclusion.
And so, without any hesitation, he went straight to the point,
“Mr. Roderick, we are all intelligent people. There"s no need for you to say such polite words. I don"t have much time to listen to you.”
“Why did you suddenly come here?”
“Please, just tell me your purpose. There"s no need to beat around the bush.”
Lin Lei"s gaze was cold as he spoke.
He didn"t have to use such a tough tone.
It was just that, at this moment, he really couldn"t be bothered to waste his breath.
His time was extremely precious. The more time he had, the more confidence he would have in the east.
Thus, there was no need for him to waste his time on meaningless interpersonal relationships.
Opposite him, after hearing Lin Lei"s words, Roderick quickly understood his true feelings. Lin Lei was beginning to grow impatient. If this continued, the relationship between the two of them would become stiff. He needed to get straight to the point!
Thinking up to this point, Roderick coughed softly, then pretended to accidentally poke his daughter with his right leg. Laughing loudly, he said,
“Master Lin Lei, actually, it"s nothing much. I"m just here to visit Master Lin, and also to see if Master Lin needs my help in any way. At the same time, we can chat about family matters, life plans, and so on. For example, does Master Lin Lei have any plans to start a family? Or perhaps, does he have any plans to settle down somewhere, and then establish the Eastern Imperial Palace?”
Roderick laughed loudly as he spoke.
His words were like a hammer slamming down on everything.
If it had been an ordinary person, they probably wouldn"t have been able to understand what he was trying to say.
But when his words reached Lin Lei"s ears, he immediately understood what this old fellow was trying to say…
To settle down?
Haha.
I understand.
Lin Lei pursed his lips and let out a bitter laugh. Then, he turned to glance at Natasha, who was standing next to Roderick.
This old fellow was here to marry his daughter!
Thinking of this, Lin Lei began to laugh.
He didn"t know how confident Roderick was that he would dare to bring Natasha here and ask him to marry her.
Did he really think that he had completely forgotten about the time when Natasha had locked him up in that cell?
Or did he really think that I had some improper thoughts about Natasha?
Did he really think that because Natasha was beautiful, he would be so desperate as to choose her?
One thought after another flashed through Lin Lei"s mind.
But no matter which thought it was, in short, Lin Lei felt that that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d Roderick had succeeded in making him laugh today!
Should he say that he was thick-skinned, or should he say that he was ambitious?
In order to rope him in, he had actually come up with such a bizarre plan to give his daughter away.
This old fellow…
Lin Lei laughed as he looked at Roderick.
At this moment, Roderick was turning his head to look at Natasha, as though he was constantly urging her to say something.
Only, Natasha"s face was blushing, and she couldn"t say anything. She lowered her head.
Seeing this, Lin Lei immediately laughed bitterly and shook his head.
Look at this!
What sort of demon king was he? He had actually scared a girl so much that she didn"t dare to speak.
It was best for him to leave this awkward place as soon as possible…
Lin Lei laughed as he thought. With a thought, he disappeared, then reappeared in his room.
After a few dozen seconds, Roderick and Natasha raised their heads, only to find that there was no one in front of them.
There was only one message left behind by Lin Lei,
“Mr. Roderick, thank you for your kindness. It"s just that I don"t have any plans to start a family.”
His voice was calm, without the slightest hint of emotion.
After hearing this message, Natasha"s face turned completely red from embarra.s.sment, and then she immediately rose to her feet and fled!
