"Lin has seen the old master."
Lin Hai hurriedly fumbled with the back of his head and chuckled shyly, with the bashful expression of a junior meeting an elder.
"Lin, you make yourself the living Yama, I can't control that. I wronged you in those past events," the old master said meaningfully.
Lin Hai hurriedly said, "Please don't say that, old master. Discharging me from the military was out of your hands and was also indirectly protecting me. I can't thank you enough."
"Is that so?" The old master's eyes suddenly became sharp, he gasped for breath, coughed violently, and hissed through clenched teeth, "Since you don't blame me, why did you do those heinous things that endanger the country and the people, and betray the entire Huaxia nation? Explain!"
With a bang, the cane struck the ground heavily, making a solid sound.
Looking at the old master's stern, livid face, Lin Hai was dumbstruck.
Endanger the country? Betray the Huaxia nation?
Lin Hai wondered, during those years he roamed abroad, although he killed no less than twenty or thirty thousand people, he never killed a good person. Everyone he killed was drug lords, human traffickers, arms dealers, and terrorists.
When did he ever do such unconscionable acts?
"Old master, you must have misunderstood me?" Lin Hai quickly explained.
"Misunderstanding? Humph, if not for my frail body now, I would personally slaughter you," the old master coughed violently, very angry.
"Grandfather, please don't be angry, you must have misunderstood Lin Hai," Tao Xia also helped, soothing the old master's chest while speaking up for Lin Hai.
Lin Hai was also puzzled, could someone be framing him?
"Old master, please don't be angry, even if I really did become the utterly wicked person you described, please don't harm your health over anger," Lin Hai quickly tried to placate the old master.
"Humph, how do you prove that you haven't done those unconscionable deeds?" the old master's eyes seemed to penetrate the human heart, staring at Lin Hai.
"I... I, although I fought and killed abroad, all I dealt with were bad people, old master, even if you don't believe me, you should believe Xiaoxia, right? Besides, Xiaoxia is my woman now, you have to consider your future grandson, right?"
Lin Hai blinked his eyes.
Tao Xia's pretty face turned instantly red, and Beast Lin actually said such things in front of her grandfather, so shameless!
"Grandson?" The formerly imposing old master suddenly softened, puzzledly looking at Tao Xia, and then gazed at her belly. Tao Xia wished she could hide herself in a hole from embarrassment.
"Lin, did you get my granddaughter pregnant?" Old Mr. Tao anxiously asked, propping up his neck.
Lin Hai awkwardly nodded, blinking his innocent eyes.
"Cough cough." The old master sat down on the sofa, trying to catch his breath and calm himself, obviously the news was quite unexpected.
Tao Xia now wanted to kill Lin Hai, this guy just spouted nonsense.
"Grandfather, why would you say that?" Tao Xia, blushing like a peach, coquettishly complained.
"I was just a fool who couldn't even farm properly back in the day, if not for following the Chief into battle, I wouldn't be where I am today. You still expect a semi-illiterate grandfather to say some classic lines? What's done is done, when are you getting married?" The old master again took on a rock-solid demeanor.
Tao Xia was utterly embarrassed.
Lin Hai was also dumbfounded and stuttered, "Old master, I actually have a fiancée."
"Is that so? Which family's girl? Have her give you up to my granddaughter, and if she still can't let go, she can be your concubine, lover, or mistress, I've decided," the old master said commandingly.
Lin Hai broke out in a cold sweat, the old master was too overbearing. If Ouyang Xiaoya were here, she'd probably have a big argument with the old master. Or maybe after things settled, she'd swiftly deal with him.
"Grandfather, I don't want to get married yet, didn't you say that young people's matters should be handled by themselves?" Tao Xia shook the old master's shoulders, speaking coquettishly.
The old master felt like his bones were nearly falling apart, hastily interjected, "Cough cough, let's put aside this topic, you go out first, I have serious matters to discuss with Lin Hai."
"Oh." Tao Xia left obediently, fiercely glaring at Lin Hai before leaving, and even used lip language to tell him, "After talking with grandfather, come straight to my room, understand?"
Lin Hai's pitiful eyes weakly nodded in response, "Understood."
The old master gazed at Lin Hai and faintly began, "Lin, how can you prove you haven't done anything against heaven and reason?"
"Old master, you trained me as your soldier, how could I care about idle rumors and slander, doesn't even you trust me?" Lin Hai spoken solemnly.
The slightly opening and closing eyes of the old master carried a gaze as if seeing through a person, he indifferently stated, "My soldier, is this how you appear before me?"
Lin Hai suddenly realized, his body instantly straightened, standing firm and steady, like a spear planted in the ground, exuding an elite bearing, he loudly began with a deep voice nearly roaring from his throat, "Reporting, Chief, first squad of Dragon Tooth Special Forces, I am the soldier here to report, please instruct... the discharged personnel, Lin Hai, please instruct."
The initial words sounded firm, showing an image of elite amongst the elite, King of Soldiers amongst soldiers, but his speech turned awkward towards the end.
The old master sighed, "It seems, you are still dissatisfied with the past events."
"Not at all, old master, I simply didn't know how I should address myself when reporting to you," Lin Hai awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
"Let it be, the events of the past are gone, since you are not a man with no conscience, then would you agree to do a few things for this old man who is about to be buried?" the old master asked solemnly.
Without thinking, Lin Hai patted his chest and asserted, "Old master's matters are my Lin Hai's matters, whatever it is, just give the order, I am forever the soldier under your command, it's hard to change this deeply ingrained notion, I probably can't change it in this lifetime."
Hearing Lin Hai's response, the old master nodded in satisfaction and spoke, "Good, the first thing, no matter what, you have to marry Xiaxia."
"Ah?" Lin Hai was stunned.
"The second thing, sometime later, all military districts and the Ancient Martial Families of Huaxia are re-ranking the Hitting Dominator List, I reckon, you should contribute to our Military District, shouldn't you?"
