Unlike Hu Xiaobei, who is strong inside, Lin Ling'er doesn't have such a strong inner will, so at the moment when everyone was staring at her, Lin Ling'er's cheeks turned rosy...

Really!

Being stared at by so many people made her heartbeat accelerate a lot...

It made her wish she could find a place to hide...

Seeing Lin Ling'er's absolutely shy look, they knew that what the Family Head had said earlier was completely true.

They laughed!

Everyone laughed!

At this moment, they were really particularly happy because they knew that with this relationship, Hu Xiaobei could become closer to them.

Half an hour later, everyone happily left...

At this instant, only Hu Xiaobei, Lin Ling'er, and the Lin Family Head were left here.

They glanced at Hu Xiaobei, curiously starting to speak...

"Xiaobei, did you start cultivation earlier?"

"Yes!"

Hu Xiaobei didn't want to hide it from them, so he spoke directly and casually...

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei speak, they knowingly nodded...

Quickly, they spoke enthusiastically, "Xiaobei, how did you previously manage the use of True Qi? How... how can you let True Qi directly leave your body?"

"Exactly!"

Upon hearing this excited inquiry, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and said, "It's a way of circulating True Qi, didn't you know? I really thought you would know!"

In Hu Xiaobei's view, he was an amateur, whereas they had been exposed to cultivation from a young age, so they should know many ways to use True Qi.

Feeling Hu Xiaobei's surprise, they awkwardly exchanged glances...

Quickly, they spoke in a small voice, "It's... it's like this! We used to know many ways to circulate True Qi, but... but our family suffered a big fire!"

"A big fire?"

They continued explaining as they glanced at Hu Xiaobei.

"Yes! The entire Book Collection Pavilion got burned, so... all records of True Qi circulation were completely wiped out."

"I see!"

Hu Xiaobei gently nodded...

Hu Xiaobei knew that since they lost all records, their understanding of True Qi might not be as extensive as his own!

Seeing Hu Xiaobei understood, they coughed and spoke quietly, "Actually... actually, it's because of this reason, so... so we wanted to ask you!"

"I understand!"

Smiling, Hu Xiaobei began to describe in detail!

Listening to Hu Xiaobei's explanation, their eyes suddenly lit up...

Previously, they couldn't grasp the essentials, but now everything had been elucidated!

This elucidation made everything completely clear to them!

"I can't help it, I want to go into seclusion!"

"Me too!"

"And me!"

Hu Xiaobei chuckled upon hearing these super excited words...

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei wasn't too surprised because he had already anticipated this scene...

Previously, their powers had reached a bottleneck...

...

"Uncle, you... what is going on with you?"

Hu Xiaobei knew what was going on with them, but Lin Ling'er did not, so Lin Ling'er looked at them slightly confused...

Feeling Lin Ling'er's confusion, they exchanged glances quickly and spoke, "Ling'er, there's nothing, we just need to go into seclusion! Our family is so big, you also haven't properly shown Xiaobei around before, now you should take him around!"

"Well... alright!"

"Then we'll leave first!"

Saying this, they quickly ran off directly...

Retracting her surprised gaze, Lin Ling'er whispered in surprise, "Xiaobei, what's... what's going on?"

Knowing that explaining a lot now might not make sense to her, Hu Xiaobei didn't explain, but mysteriously said, "It's nothing! They just suddenly realized something! When they come back this time, their power should improve a lot! Alright, now take me around."

"Um! Alright!"

Agreeing, Lin Ling'er took the lead and started walking forward.

But after just two steps, Lin Ling'er suddenly froze...

Taking a deep breath, she shyly looked at Hu Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, you... you accidentally grabbed my hand!"

The reason she's totally frozen is because she felt her little hand had been directly taken hold of by Hu Xiaobei...

Upon hearing Lin Ling'er speak softly like this, Hu Xiaobei laughed heartily and said, "It wasn't accidental, I deliberately grabbed your hand! I'm your boyfriend now, you know! If we don't hold hands while walking around, people might find it strange."

"This..."

Upon hearing such a confident statement, Lin Ling'er hesitated slightly and slowly nodded...

She knew that what Hu Xiaobei said was indeed reasonable...

Seeing Lin Ling'er directly acquiesce, Hu Xiaobei laughed heartily and said, "Alright, let's hurry and explore around!"

"Mm!"

Thus, Hu Xiaobei and Lin Ling'er walked out of the room together!

At first, Lin Ling'er was particularly nervous because Hu Xiaobei was holding her hand.

But gradually, this tension began to slowly dissipate...

The reason for this was she gradually accepted this posture...

Sensing Lin Ling'er slowly relaxing, Hu Xiaobei smiled as well. Soon, he shifted all his attention to the architecture here...

Hu Xiaobei discovered that the entire architecture style of the Lin Family was traditional Chinese, with quaint courtyard houses everywhere.

"This place is really nice!"

After withdrawing his gaze, Hu Xiaobei exclaimed in admiration.

Hu Xiaobei wasn't joking at this moment; there was indeed a sense of historical weight here.

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's praise, Lin Ling'er chuckled lightly.

"Yes, I feel it's nice too! But honestly, compared with your Xiaohe Village, it falls far short!"

Lin Ling'er was no longer shy at this moment!

She was speaking the truth; the environment here was nice, but compared to Xiaohe Village, it truly pales in comparison...

Previously, she lived here for many years, always thinking it was the best!

Until she went to Xiaohe Village and saw that absolutely paradise-like place.

"Haha! Each has its own merits!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei turned his head, because he heard very soft footsteps...

A few young people!

After turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw several young people looking at him excitedly!

Hu Xiaobei saw them, and Lin Ling'er saw them too, so in that moment, she wanted to quickly withdraw her hand from Hu Xiaobei's.

But unfortunately, she couldn't manage to...

After trying, she completely failed...

Feeling a bit embarrassed, she shyly glanced at Hu Xiaobei...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei just looking at her with a smile, she felt a bit helpless...

She knew that Hu Xiaobei wouldn't let go, and she had no tricks up her sleeve.

While Lin Ling'er was feeling frustrated, those young people from the Lin Family saw them holding hands...

In that instant, they realized Lin Ling'er and Hu Xiaobei were indeed a couple.

"Really showing off their love!"

Admiringly, they quickly said, "Hello, Sister! Brother-in-law!"

Upon hearing such a unified greeting, Hu Xiaobei prepared to say something, but before he started, she cut in...

"What are you saying? Xiaobei is just my boyfriend, we... we haven't reached that stage yet!"

"Haha, Sister, it's only a matter of time!"

"Yes, indeed!"

Listening to such straightforward words, Lin Ling'er rubbed her forehead in frustration; she really didn't know what to say at that moment...

Thinking that Hu Xiaobei was right beside her, Lin Ling'er turned to glance at him...

At this moment, she meant for Hu Xiaobei to help her out of the predicament...

Hu Xiaobei understood her implied message and blinked at her, then he coughed lightly.

After attracting everyone's attention, Hu Xiaobei spoke, "Well! I am your brother-in-law, you can call me that from now on! By the way, if you have any issues, feel free to come to me, your brother-in-law will sort them out for you!"

Hearing such forthright words, all these young people laughed happily!

"Haha, brother-in-law is the best!"

"Of course, we're family after all!"

"Mm! Brother-in-law, we have to go on patrol, see you later!"

"Okay!"

Quickly agreeing, Hu Xiaobei and Lin Ling'er watched them leave...

After they left, Lin Ling'er glared at Hu Xiaobei angrily and said, "Xiaobei, I... I meant for you to properly explain to them! Why did you just go and admit it!"

Hearing her slightly annoyed words, Hu Xiaobei acted innocent and replied, "Oh, that's what you meant! I... I misunderstood your intention! I thought you wanted me to build a closer relationship with them!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's aggrieved expression, she stomped her foot angrily, "You... you did it on purpose! You big jerk!"

Looking at her puffed-up expression, Hu Xiaobei laughed!

"Haha, I didn't mean it! By the way, Sister, let's continue exploring!"

"Alright then!"

Knowing full well that Hu Xiaobei had done it on purpose, she could only feel helpless, because she knew Hu Xiaobei had incredibly thick skin in front of her, so she really couldn't do anything about him...
