Chapter 24: Silence

In the quiet mansion, there were only Yale, George, Renault, and more than a dozen maids, plus dozens of guards. These people were mainly for Lin Lei.

Under the grape trellis, Yale, George and Renault surrounded the stone table.

"Boss Yale, what's wrong with the third brother?" Renault said helplessly with confusion on his face.

Yale shook his head: "I don't know, it's been ten days since the third brother has been here. In the past ten days, the third brother has completely lost his passion for the past, has stopped practicing, and has no longer joked with us. He is always alone."

George also nodded and said, "In the past, the third brother would not stop practicing. But now he seems to have completely changed."

"Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the third brother?" Renault gritted his teeth and said anxiously.

"If I knew, that would be great." Yale sighed helplessly.

The biggest headache for the three brothers was that they didn't know why Lin Lei became like this. He stopped practicing and no longer played with them. He was always alone, as if he was in a state of dismay.

It became like this for no reason.

As Lin Lei’s good brothers, why are they not anxious?

"The third brother must have suffered a big blow." Yale sighed, George and Renault were stunned and didn't say anything. They couldn't help but recall the scene they saw ten days ago-

Thousands of people watched, and there were ruins on the clearing ground in the central radius of hundreds of meters. Among the ruins were six terrifying deep pits and meteorites.

Lin Lei, who was completely transformed into a dragon, brutally killed six purple-robed special deacons, but collapsed on the ground and cried. He was like a child.

"I have never seen the third brother so sad and so fragile." Yale whispered.

George also nodded and said, "The third brother is very strong. He broke up with Alice. After completing the stone sculpture "Awakening" and then he went directly to the Warcraft Mountains to continue his practice."

"Well, even if his father died, the third brother survived. But this time..." Renault was full of confusion.

They are all very sure.

Their good brothers are very fragile at the moment, but they can't find the reason.

Next to the gurgling stream in the backyard of this quiet mansion, Lin Lei sat on a decorative smooth stone, watching the stream flow without moving.

Beibei also stood on the smooth stone and leaned against Lin Lei.

There was silence, only the sound of water flowing.

Although Lin Lei looked at Liushui, his mind recalled scenes of being with Grandpa Delin in the past.

The playfulness with Grandpa Delin as a child.

When he was a teenager, Grandpa Delin's strict supervision.

In the Warcraft Mountains, Grandpa Delin never tires of reminding each other again and again.

When recalling each scene, Lin Lei felt a tranquility in his heart.

"My father died. I thought I was lonely, but I didn't know. Actually, I have always been very happy. No matter how far I reached, Grandpa Delin supported me, comforted me, inspired me, and reminded me..."

"But why did I never realize all this in the past, and why didn't I cherish the days I spent with Grandpa Delin?" Lin Lei felt very painful in his heart.

Grandpa Delin never had any excessive demands on himself. However, he never considered Grandpa Delin and never cherished the time he spent with Grandpa Delin. Perhaps he subconsciously thought Grandpa Delin would always stay in the Panlong Ring.

"Panlong Ring? Grandpa Delin stays in Panlong Ring, always alone. It will definitely be painful to stay alone in the same place. Grandpa Delin actually hopes that I will chat with him often." Lin Lei only remembered at this time.

However……

In the past days, Lin Lei would ask Grandpa Delin unless he encountered any problems, but he rarely chatted with Grandpa Delin on his own initiative.

I only know how to get, but I don't know how to give.

"Why do you know to cherish it only when you lose it?" Lin Lei's body trembled slightly. He looked forward to Grandpa Delin coming back and accompanying him again.

pity……

It's impossible.

Grandpa Delin died, forever.

Lin Lei felt his heart twitching, as if it was a spasm, and his whole body twitching in pain. However, Lin Lei's face did not have any expression of pain.

Even Lin Lei had an idea in his heart—

If it hurts so much, it will be relieved and relaxed.

"Boss." Beibei's voice sounded in Lin Lei's mind. Lin Lei turned to look at Beibei beside him. Beibei's black eyes looked at Lin Lei, with worry in his eyes.

"You, are you thinking about that Grandpa Delin?" It was only after Delin Kowater's death that Beibei learned that there was originally a Holy Land Magician's soul around Lin Lei.

Lin Lei nodded.

Beibei Soul sent a voice transmission: "Boss, can you tell me about your affairs with that Grandpa Delin?"

Looking at Beibei, Lin Lei nodded slightly, then hugged Beibei in his arms. He began to talk about his affairs with Grandpa Delin like memories: "I was only eight years old that year. That time, two powerful men from the Holy Land appeared in our Wushan Town..."

Yale, George and Renault appeared at the gate of the backyard and quietly looked at Lin Lei, who was sitting on the smooth stone in the distance holding Babe.

"I feel very uncomfortable when I see the third brother like this." Renault sighed in a low voice.

Yale and George were silent too.

"We must find a way." George's eyes suddenly became sharp, "No matter what, we can't let the third brother remain silent."

Yale and Renault also nodded.

"Second, what are you going to do?" Yale and Renault were looking forward to looking at George.

George said: "We don't know why the third brother became like this, but we can reason about it." George pondered, "The third brother's family is the Dragon Blood Warrior family. As a family that once had a brilliant history, his family members must want to recreate the glory of their family."

Yale's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, the third brother attaches great importance to the family. He once slaughtered the "Battle Sword" for his family's inherited treasure, and even auctioned off the "Dream Awakening" stone sculpture."

“That’s right.”

George nodded, "According to my speculation, the third brother was able to practice so hard, and there must be a reason in his heart to inspire him to do this. Reappearing the glory of the family is likely to be the reason. The third brother has worked hard for so many years and will definitely not give up easily. We use this to motivate him."

"Motivation? Is it useful?" Yale was a little skeptical.

George said helplessly: "But, do we have a better way?"

"That's the way." Renault snorted, "The third brother is always like this, and I can't stand it anymore. Let's go and talk about him. Let's see what's going on with him."

"The fourth brother, let the second brother say that if you talk, it will only get worse the more you say it." Yale scolded.

Renault also knew his personality and nodded. George, Yale, and Renault looked at each other and walked towards Lin Lei.

××××××

After listening to Lin Lei’s story, Beibei was silent. He was also very sad, sad about Delinkowater’s death. Suddenly, Beibei felt someone approaching behind her, so she jumped out of Lin Lei’s arms and looked back.

It was Yale, George and Renault.

But at this moment, Lin Lei had just finished telling about his affairs with Grandpa Delin, but he was completely immersed in the memories and did not feel the arrival of others at all.

Yale, George, and Renault looked at each other and sighed secretly. Lin Lei is a master. Under normal circumstances, Lin Lei might have felt it at the door of the backyard. But now all the three of them have walked behind Lin Lei, and Lin Lei did not respond.

"The third brother." Yale spoke.

Lin Lei's body was shocked, and then he turned his head slightly to look at the three of them, his eyes were very calm: "You are here." As he said that, Lin Lei turned his head again and continued to look at the stream.

Yale, George and Renault immediately walked to the boulder.

"Last brother." Yale grabbed Lin Lei's shoulders and let Lin Lei's eyes look at him. "Last brother, do you remember what happened at Ernst Magic Academy, how do you usually tell me?"

"Forgot." Lin Lei said calmly.

Yale glared at her eyes: "Forget it? Third brother, you often hit me and say that if I don't work hard and practice hard, I'm afraid that my tallest person in the dormitory will become the weakest."

In the past, when the four brothers were in the same dormitory, they naturally often joked.

Lin Lei was still silent.

George looked at Yale and nodded slightly. Yale let go of Lin Lei's shoulders, and George walked to Lin Lei and said solemnly: "Third brother, I want to ask you, why have you practiced hard for so many years?"

Lin Lei was stunned.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recalled that he had practiced hard every day since he was a child.

"For the family." Lin Lei finally answered.

At Yale next to him, Renault had a hint of joy in his eyes. George immediately pursued: "Then I ask you, are you worthy of your family now, now you are like this?"

Lin Lei looked at George and smiled bitterly. Xiao Suo said, "My father is dead and my mother is dead. You say, what's the use of my hard work for the family?"

Lin Lei stood up and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Yale, George and Renault looked at Lin Lei's back and stared at each other in a daze.

"It's useless, I'm dead. Why am I doing so hard?" Lin Lei's bleak voice came, and then Lin Lei's back disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.

×××××

Fifteen days.

Lin Lei has been in this mansion for fifteen days. In the past fifteen days, the Yale and the other two have tried their best, but no matter what, Lin Lei always looks like that.

Yale, George and Renault were drinking.

"What should I do? What should I do? Are you just watching the third brother become so decadent?" Renault angrily smashed the wine glass hard on the table.
