Rebirth starts with many children and good fortune

The moon hung high in the sky as Cheng Feng was sound asleep, embracing his beloved wife and concubines.

Every turn was met with softness, the comfort beyond words.

Suddenly, the night-watch maidservant came to report that someone was at the door requesting an audience, presenting a token as proof.

Cheng Feng was already exhausted, so being woken up in the middle of the night naturally filled him with annoyance.

However, upon hearing about the token, Cheng Feng perked up slightly.

He calmed his concubines who were about to get up and help him dress.

After a quick wash and removing the rouge and powder from his face, he put on two robes and went to the front door.

Sure enough, the jade pendant in the night-watch maidservant's hand was the one he had given to Lin Wan'er that afternoon.

"I didn't expect that the Hongmen disciples wouldn't even get a chance to help, and entering my Cheng mansion would depend on this item," Cheng Feng said, feeling his mind clear up a bit in the cool night air.

He said to the maidservant, "Quickly, invite the guests to the study, and tell two other maids to brew a pot of the finest Baiyun tea in the study."

The maidservant was a little surprised; Baiyun tea was the master's favorite, and he had never brought it out to entertain guests before.

Were the guests that important?

The maidservant didn't dare to delay and hurried away.

Cheng Feng returned to the room and tidied himself up again.

The maidservant had just said that there were two people, with similar features like father and daughter.

Cheng Feng guessed that it must be Wan'er and her father, Lin Xiong.

"But didn't Lin Xiong leave for something?"

Lin Wan'er's arrival made Cheng Feng's originally comfortable night a little restless.

"Hopefully, it's not bad news!"

The moonlight was like water, and within the quiet Cheng mansion, Cheng Feng, dressed in neat robes, walked steadily towards the study.

His heart was filled with both curiosity and caution.

After all, to visit at this hour with the jade pendant he had given to Lin Wan'er, it definitely wouldn't be a small matter.

Who in their right mind would disturb someone's sleep in the middle of the night?!

Inside the study, candlelight flickered.

Cheng Feng sat at the desk, holding an ancient book, but his eyes kept looking towards the door.

Before long, the maidservant led in a middle-aged man and a young woman.

The middle-aged man was burly, but his face was slightly pale, clearly having suffered a serious injury not long ago.

The young woman was beautiful, gentle, and quiet, and it was Lin Wan'er.

"Young Master Cheng, I apologize for disturbing you so late at night," Lin Xiong said first, his voice low and somewhat weak, obviously not fully recovered from his injuries.

Cheng Feng smiled slightly and motioned for the two to sit down. "It's no problem. To have you two visit so late at night, there must be something important to discuss. Please sit, tea is prepared."

The maidservant and another maid quickly served the tea, and the aroma of Baiyun tea instantly filled the entire study.

Cheng Feng took a sip and turned his gaze to Lin Xiong, thinking to himself.

This Baiyun tea was his favorite, and he had never used it to entertain guests before.

This time, he was making an exception for Lin Xiong and his daughter.

"I wonder what brings Uncle here so late at night?" Cheng Feng put down his teacup and stared intently at Lin Xiong, trying to glean some information from his expression.

Lin Xiong coughed twice and said slowly, "Nephew Cheng, to be honest, I'm here for Wan'er's safety."

Cheng Feng was shocked and quickly looked at Lin Wan'er, only to see her biting her lip and her eyes slightly red, obviously full of worry.

He quickly asked, "Uncle, what exactly happened? Why would Wan'er be in danger?"

Lin Xiong took a deep breath and said, "Previously, by chance, I swallowed a Tiger Bone Pill and entered the Bone Refinement realm.

I originally thought that with the accomplishment of martial arts, I would be able to protect myself when I was alone outside.

However, things are unpredictable. I came across the Red Lotus Cult rebels chasing and killing civilians.

After helping each other, I learned the news that Qingyang County was attacked.

Similarly, I was also caught up by a master in the Red Lotus Cult rebels, and I managed to escape after a hard fight.

As soon as I returned to the Lin Mansion, I learned the same news from Wan'er that you had sent."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiong's expression became serious, "Friend Cheng, I learned from Wan'er that you took the initiative to reveal the news that the Red Lotus Cult rebels were attacking.

I, Lin Xiong, will remember your news and your friendship with my Lin family.

But now that the situation is turbulent and the Red Lotus Cult rebels are rampant, I am really worried about Wan'er staying in the Lin Mansion.

I know that you have feelings for Wan'er, and correspondingly, Wan'er is not without affection for you.

But the current situation cannot take into account the trivial matters of love between children.

Therefore, I want to ask you to help take care of Wan'er for a while.

If possible, give Wan'er a title."

Looking at Lin Xiong's appearance of entrusting his daughter to him, and looking at Lin Wan'er's shy and pitiful appearance, Cheng Feng felt a strong desire to protect her.

"Uncle, don't worry, Wan'er will be safe and sound here," Cheng Feng nodded solemnly, looking at Lin Xiong with firm eyes.

Hearing this, Lin Xiong showed a gratified smile on his face, "With Nephew Cheng's words, I can rest assured.

Wan'er, you should stay here for the time being."

Lin Wan'er nodded gently, her eyes flashing with reluctant tears.

The disadvantages of the Lin family's large business were revealed at this time.

As the patriarch, Lin Xiong could not abandon the family.

But for the safety and happiness of his daughter, Lin Xiong had to make a choice.

On the way here, Lin Xiong had explained the situation to Wan'er.

In this turbulent situation, how rare it is to find a safe haven.

Although this trip was rushed, it would be good as long as the goal was achieved.

Moreover, Lin Xiong firmly believed that Cheng Feng would definitely have a backup plan.

He was able to lead Hongmen to dominate Qingxi County at a young age.

After unifying the underworld, he was not arrogant or impetuous.

He also knew how to protect himself.

He also played a trick of retiring behind the scenes.

Without saying a word, the position of the Hongmen Sect Master changed hands.

Outsiders still don't know, people with such means and scheming will naturally be friends rather than enemies.

No matter what Cheng Feng's backup plan is, Lin Xiong will be satisfied as long as Lin Wan'er can escape the vortex of war.

Lin Wan'er had also struggled and resisted, but she was comforted by Lin Xiong, which led to the scene before her.

Looking at the loving scene of the father and daughter in front of him, Cheng Feng suddenly suggested, "However, I think Uncle should also be clear that the Red Lotus Cult rebels are powerful.

According to my plan, the final foothold of the Cheng family is in Blackwood Prefecture.

If the Lin family is willing, they can go to Blackwood Prefecture to meet with the Cheng family."

The night deepened, and the atmosphere in the study became more and more serious.

With the war imminent, no one dared to say that they could stay out of it.

After Cheng Feng entrusted Lin Wan'er to Lin Xiong, he also understood Lin Xiong's meaning.

He admired him in his heart, this favor was grasped, and the timing of the matter was just right.

If it weren't for the fact that Eight Hundred and I were soul-bound, and the Hongmen disciples who were arranged to guard the outer perimeter of the Cheng Mansion reported that there were many spies from other forces outside the Cheng Mansion, Cheng Feng would have almost believed this future father-in-law.

However, after all, he is the nominal father-in-law in the future, so this face still has to be given.

"Eight Hundred, let the Hongmen disciples deal with the eyes outside."

Unknowingly, Lin Xiong's goal was also achieved.

This is why Cheng Feng also admired Lin Xiong.

Under a double carving, Cheng Feng himself was also willing to help others.

This feeling is not ordinary.
