Chapter 278 : 278 Yuan Mansion
While Yuan Hao was observing Lin Lee, Lin Lee was also observing him in return.
'It seems he is inexperienced in handling a child, but he looks very excited from inside, also a little nervous, yet he shows his calm expression outside in front of his wife.'
Lin Lee thought to himself, observing his father's expression and emotion in his eyes,
Suddenly he was startled by his thoughts: 'Why am I able to sense and decipher the different emotions released by my father and mother? Is it because of that strange aura incorporated in my body before?'
Lin Lee thought to himself in surprise, while looking at the calm expression on his father's face, but he could feel the excitement and joyful mood right from the heart of his father.
Then he sensed the mood of his mother Yi Yun, feeling the joy from her heart and also another mixture of anxiousness and worry.
'What is she worried and anxious about?' Lin Lee thought to himself, feeling a little curious.
Instantly both Yi Yun and Yuan Hao raised their brows, looking at each other in surprise, and then Yi Yun glanced at Lin Lee strangely.
"Husband, it seems our son is really a genius; he learned to channel emotions from birth."
She spoke, her eyes brightening looking at Lin Lee thoughtfully; she could feel the curious emotion brewing in her son's heart and channeled out from his body.
Yuan Hao nodded hearing his wife's words, also glanced at Lin Lee, and then took a deep breath and instructed solemnly, looking at Yi Yun,
"We can't let anyone know about his talent; we have a lot of enemies. I don't want my family to be targeted by those demons; I will deal with other things myself."
Yuan Hao spoke and then returned the Lin Lee back to his wife and walked outside the room hurriedly, amidst his wife's silent expression.
"Don't worry, Yi, your father will protect us from all kinds of danger and take care of everything," Yi Yun whispered, looking at Lin Lee in her arm with a reassuring smile on her face.
'What kind of trouble is worrying her so much?' Lin Lee thought to himself, feeling the worried and anxious emotion intensify around his mother's body.
…
A year passed by like a wind; after changing, the warm season returned.
Lin Lee spent his time as a baby, and along with time passage, his physique grew, and he was able to coordinate and control his body easily.
After knowing about his talent, his parents hid his specialty away in front of the relatives and friends; also, the servants were prohibited by his parents from approaching him.
While his mother is the only one who took care of him and raised him up in these months, meanwhile his parents were very surprised by his monstrous growth,
He could walk at the age of three and speak at the age of six, could read and write at the age of six, and the most shocking thing for them was his comprehension; he could learn, memorize, and understand everything at a glance and could reason like a fully grown person.
Seeing such fast growth of their son, both of them were very worried as if some demon had possessed their son, but after seeing his calm and positive outlook, they were relieved.
"Little Yi, come here. I have prepared your favorite meatballs." Instantly a soft voice sounded in the hall, and Yi Yun walked inside the hall with a dish in her hand, seeing Lin Lee sitting cross-legged in the hall facing the garden outside.
"Coming, mother," Lin Lee replied, opening his eyes and looking at his mother's smiling face in front of him, and then he glanced at the meatball dish in her hand speechlessly.
'It seems I have praised this dish once, and it's almost the twentieth time it was prepared by my mother for me; anyway, it's delicious,' Lin Lee thought to himself and then grabbed the dish and started eating it up.
Yi Yun also started eating along with him from her bowl,
"When will father return? It's been three months since he left in a hurry," Lin Lee suddenly asked, raising his head and looking at her calmly.
Yi Yun's expression froze, and then her hand halted. Lin Lee felt intense nervousness and anxiousness—emotion exuding from her body.
'It seems something happened to him; my intuition tells me that he is stuck in some kind of trouble or already...' Lin Lee thought to himself and then started eating up the dish.
While looking at the trembling shoulders of Yi Yun in front of her, she is trying to suppress her urge to cry. Lin Lee is feeling such worry-filled and sad emotion from her.
Lin Lee silently finished the meal, and then Yi Yun took the empty bowls and left the hall.
'Well, I have to do something about it, but my age is not up to the standard yet,' Lin Lee thought to himself, and then he raised his hand and clenched his fist.
'The cultivation in this world is really strange.'
Lin Lee thought to himself, recalling the cultivation path in this world is based on emotions and desires; the more calm you stay, the more emotion you will be able to control, and these emotions will empower your state of mind and activate the special emotion powers. There are six emotion power awakenings; after suppressing the seven desires, one can master these emotions, and upon mastering any one of these emotions, heaven will bestow a title.
'My father was the master of surprise; nothing could waver his heart, but my birth and talent really surprised him and reduced his emotional control. The strength in this world is strange, and it is reversible and backlashes if you are not careful.'
Lin Lee thought to himself strangely about his father's pale face; after seeing his progress, his father's mood got disturbed, and he lost a lot of power and control over his emotions in the process.
'My soul and mind state are already in perfect sync; nothing can disturb my mood and emotion. That's why I was declared a genius by my parent, and unknowingly, after birth, I attracted and absorbed all kinds of emotion powers. The practitioner in this world can only control the single emotion powers; controlling and mastering multiple powers of emotions is the hardest and most intensive path.'
Lin Lee thought to himself, then, feeling the emotional power running through his small body, he raised his arm and patted the ground; instantly a layer of invisible power covered his hand, and the ground below was suppressed and compressed.
'The power of emotion is not that strong in the early stage, but it has an unimaginably high ceiling because all kinds of living organisms release the power of emotion, and if someone can harness all that power through heaven and earth, then he will definitely attain the divine realm; that's why it is considered one of the divine paths, which depends on the emotions and desires of the creatures.'
Lin Lee thought to himself, and then he glanced in the direction of the garden outside.
'Just a few more years, and I will be able to explore this world and find everything about it.'
Lin Lee thought to himself, looking in the direction of the sparrows and birds in the garden and also feeling the presence of worms and crickets through the power of emotion.
'Although these tiny creatures exude almost negligible amounts of emotional power, they still can't hide from my senses. It seems the previous blood echoes and other abilities enhanced my innate observation ability. Even without them, my senses are countless times better than normal humans.'
Lin Lee thought to himself and then closed his eyes, sensing the emotional power inside everything, including grass and trees.
…
A few years later,
In the deep night, a few figures wearing different types of dresses leaped through the forest toward the Yuan mansion on the top of the hill.
Swish! Swish!! Swish!!!
Suddenly, afterimages flashed, and these figures halted on the tree branches surrounding the Yuan mansion,
Each one of them gesturing at each other to stay alert and keep an eye on the surroundings,
After a while, a tiresome rubbing and dragging sound spread through the woods, and a carriage emerged from the round path around the hill. It is dragged by the two dark horses, and a servant in dark dress similar to those individuals surrounding the mansion is driving the carriage.
Amidst the wood and joint creaks and horse neighs, the carriage stopped in front of the Yuan mansion hall.
Step!!
A middle-aged man with a mustache and a middle-aged woman with freckles on her face walked outside from the carriage. Both of them were wearing ancient royal robes and dresses. They looked like some kind of nobles from the county.
"Li Lu, come out." The female hurriedly spoke, turned, and glanced at the carriage behind her.
"Coming, mother,"
A young girl's voice sounded, and a figure jumped out from the carriage. She is a small girl of eight years of age, with a small and cute face and big, agile eyes looking at the surrounding area and the mansion in front of her curiously.
Her current appearance indicates that she definitely will be a big beauty after growing up.
