Outside Jiu Feng Gou, Lin Wan and others rejoined Li Mu. They didn't stop and left hurriedly along the mountain road.

After a while, Third Uncle's people came up from behind. The two groups of people together ran and landed in City Ha.

Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunty had met Li Mu before, and they didn't have a good impression of him before. But they were now impressed with him. And their words about him were full of respect.

It was the first time for Third Uncle to meet Li Mu. He knew that this Li Mu was not simple and he was polite to him.

They chatted about Dream Valley during their casual conversation. Third Uncle and others were very interested in their experience of breaking through the valley and could not help but ask about the details.

Lin Kun volunteered to describe in detail the glorious experiences of several people and complimented Li Mu, which made Li Mu feel embarrassed.

Lin Family showed two different expressions. The older generation was very calm.

The younger generation was convinced of this and looked at Li Mu with adoring eyes, thinking that he was a god.

This was normal because the older generation had experienced many big events. They had long passed the age of idolatry. They thought that Lin Kun's description was a bit exaggerated. Even though Li Mu had strength, he was not so powerful.

However, the young people were more likely to accept heroes and worship them. Even if they knew there was exaggeration, they were willing to believe that Li Mu was a strong man.

Mrs. Hong also sat aside to add a few words. When she and Lin Kun were talking and laughing, they set up an image of resourcefulness and bravery for Li Mu.

This was something that had to be done. Was it because he married Lin Wan that all Lin Family had to listen to him?

The people of Lin Family believed that the strongest was the most important. What they despised most was to rely on others. Especially men relied on women.

If Li Mu wanted to gain a position in Lin Family, he could only convince Lin Family of his ability to win true respect.

But Lin Wan couldn't do this kind of thing personally. And the best person to perform it could only be Mrs. Hong and Lin Kun.

Of course, the two of them had fully recognized Li Mu's ability. They were voluntarily helping Li Mu, hoping that he could establish his authority in Lin Family as soon as possible.

However, this recognition was mixed with personal feelings.

Lin Kun now respected Li Mu very much. He admired Li Mu’s ability and was grateful for saving his life. He looked at his Brother as family.

Mrs. Hong's feelings for Li Mu were known to everyone.

"Li Mu, what are your plans?" Third Uncle asked amiably.

Li Mu paused for a moment. He had no plans and had just settled down. Seeing everyone looking at himself, Li Mu decisively chose to throw the question to Lin Wan.

"We will rest here for two days. As for the follow-up arrangements, Lin Wan will talk to you guys later."

Lin Wan glanced at him and said to the crowd, "With the family conference coming up, we need to return to South Seas as soon as possible. Just do what my husband said, everyone rest for two days and then go home."

After the crowd dispersed, Lin Wan said to Li Mu, "Honey, let's go back to Shanyang."

"Why do we go Shanyang when we can just go back to South Seas?"

"There are three things we need to go back to Shanyang to deal with. The first thing, we go back to remarry. The second thing, to send Xiaoyu home. The third thing, to pick up mom and dad and go back to South Seas together."

"Okay. Wait a minute, my parents are back?"

Lin Wan nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier."

"It was too urgent to say."

Li Mu hurriedly took out his cell phone to call his parents. But no one ever answered.

Seeing Li Mu's expression started to look anxious, Lin Wan said to Mrs. Hong, "Can you call Sixth Brother and ask about the situation there?"

Mrs. Hong dialed the phone, but someone quickly answered the phone.

"Mrs. Hong, are you back?"

"Not yet, where are Uncle and Auntie? Are they alright?"

"Yes, they enrolled in a university for the elderly, learning to ballroom dance every day and having a great time. By the way, have you found Li Mu?"

"We found him. We'll go back the day after tomorrow, and we'll probably get home in the evening. You tell Uncle and Auntie to wait for us at home."

"Okay."

After putting down the phone, Mrs. Hong said to Li Mu, "You don't have to worry about it. They are all fine. With Sixth Brother and other's close protection, you don't have to worry about anything."

"Something's wrong." Li Mu said in a deep voice.

The several people in the room were startled, and Lin Wan hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about? Who?"

"Something happened to my parents. From now on, don't trust anyone, especially Sixth Brother. Don't tell him where we have been."

"Honey, why did you say that?"

"Because my parents couldn't have done that."

The people suddenly realized. How could parents not be anxious when their son was missing? If parents could still be happy, it showed they didn't love their children.

Li Mu's parents were very close to their son and loved him very much. It was simply not normal for them to sign up for dance lessons when there was no sign of their son.

"I'll go and call Third Uncle and the others back," Mrs. Hong hurriedly walked out of the room.

Not long after, Third Uncle, Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt came into the room together, with serious expressions.

"Third Uncle, is there anything unusual in Shanyang?" Lin Wan asked.

"Yes, Eighth Brother, Lin Danyang and Cheng Feng, the son of Cheng Family, are all stranded in Shanyang. Their motive is unknown. As far as I can tell, they should be coming for you."

"When?"

"When you went into the mountains to look for Li Mu, they came to Shanyang. And after that, they never left."

Li Mu looked at Lin Wan and asked in confusion, "Is that Cheng Feng still loving you?"

"What can I do if he doesn't give up? I don't care."

"What about Eighth Brother and Lin Danyang?"

Lin Wan hesitated and Mrs. Hong explained, "Let me say it. Eighth Brother is Lin Wan's Eighth Uncle. He is not from our main lineage. Lin Danyang is Lin Wan's cousin. He is not from the main lineage, either. They are both from Fourth Uncle's lineage."

Li Mu said in surprise, "There are still factions within your Lin Family?"

"Well, while there are more people, there are more ideas. Lin Wan is a girl and was chose as the head of the family at a very young age. Some people are not convinced. All right, that's all I'm going to say."

Li Mu said disdainfully, "Lin Family just has no rules. I don't know about other families, but I have contacted Shen Family. And they are united."

Lin Wan interrupted his words.

"Well, let's not talk about this. Let's figure out what happened to mom and dad."

"Why not? Lin Wan, I declare that whoever hurts my parents, I will definitely take revenge, even if he is a member of Lin Family."

In front of so many people, Madam Lin felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was the head of the family and couldn't allow outsiders to threaten her clan, not even her husband.

"What do you mean by these words? Do you mean that you still want to hurt Lin Family? I will never allow you to do that."

"I will see."

Mrs. Hong hurriedly persuaded, "Don't be anxious. It's not yet possible to conclude what Eighth Uncle has done. Maybe your parents are safe. You shouldn't jump to arbitrary conclusions yet."

"Are you confused either? If nothing happened, why would Sixth Brother lie?"

"Maybe he was not lying. Uncle..."

Mrs. Hong couldn't say anymore. Li Mu got up irritably and walked around the house. Suddenly he asked, "Why are your Eighth Uncle staying with Cheng Feng?"

"It's not clear. We'll only know that after we meet them."

Li Mu said, "Let's do it this way. Let's move separately. I'll take Xiaoyu to go ahead and you guys return to Shanyang as planned. We should find out about this matter as soon as possible."

Lin Wan immediately objected, "No, we'll go back together. You can't leave alone."

"I'm not asking for your opinion. What you want to do is your business. Don't interfere with my decision," After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Lin Wan was so angry that she stomped her foot and stood up to stop Li Mu. Mrs. Hong hugged her and instructed Lin Kun, "Lin Kun, you stay with him and listen to his arrangements for all actions."

"I got it." Lin Kun promised and quickly chased after him.

"Mrs. Hong, why did you stop me?"

"Lin Wan, calm down. You must consider this matter carefully and clearly before communicating with Li Mu. Otherwise it will be difficult for you to reach an agreement, or, it will completely hurt your relationship."

"There is nothing to consider. I am the head of Lin Family. If a member of the clan makes a mistake, they will be punished by clan rules. I will not allow anyone to take the punishment personally."

"What would you want to do if it had been done by Eighth Uncle and the others?"

"Follow the clan rules."

"Lin Wan, don't cheat yourself. Can the clan rules punish Eighth Uncle and Lin Danyang? Can any painless punishment calm Li Mu's anger?"

Lin Wan said firmly, "My ancestors have never killed their relatives. I can’t set this precedent. He is my husband and must endure this aggravation with me."

Mrs. Hong laughed bitterly, "If you think so, I advise you to let him leave Lin Family as soon as possible. You won't be able to be together after all."

"What are you talking?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Lin Wan, you aren't the same people. I sincerely advise you to let him go. You should never expect him to make changes unilaterally. You have to make changes yourself while trying to change him. Otherwise, you can hardly be happy."

"Well? I'll be happy if I agree with him hurting my family?"

"Li Mu’s parents also are your father and mother. The hatred of killing parents will not be tolerated. Whoever he is, he must pay the appropriate price. Even if they are your clan members."

Third Uncle has been silent. At this moment, he could not help but advise, "Lin Wan, your sister-in-law is right. It is the responsibility of the family head to protect the clan members, but you can't just indulge them. You are usually too lenient with them, so they will tend to be more aggressive. A combination of mercy and strictness is the only way."

Fifth Aunt added, "Yes. Lin Wan, you only see that the ancestors didn't kill their relatives, but you haven't noticed the fact. That is the ancestors were so gracious and powerful that the clan members dared to be capricious."
