Chapter 144 It's Raining

Lin Hao had unknowingly stayed there for three months.

Besides his body's 'parents' who came to see him every day, their expressions were always joyful.

Unable to bear their constant monkey-like gazes, he directly used his mental power and appeared on the street.

The bodyguard assigned by his parents was naturally unaware of the young master's teleportation destination.

Like a headless fly, he searched everywhere for the young master.

Looking at the bustling crowd around him, he didn't know where to go for a moment.

He truly didn't know why Ye Xue had placed him here.

Nothing had happened, not even a single monster.

"Yo, isn't this the genius of the Lin family? What are you doing here instead of attending the opening ceremony of the Imperial Academy?"

A sarcastic voice sounded from behind Lin Hao.

Lin Hao knew that trouble had arrived.

He slowly turned his head, looking at the person who made the sound. Immediately, a description of the mission appeared before him.

Wang Yan, the second son of the Wang family, had been at odds with Lin Hao since childhood.

Since it was this body's affair, it had nothing to do with him. Lin Hao, having made up his mind, glanced at Wang Yan and then walked towards home.

Seeing his subordinate defeated and ignoring him, a hint of malice flashed in Wang Yan's eyes. His tone became somewhat somber: "I hope you'll still have this confidence when you see me again. As a friend, I'll give you a piece of advice: don't do anything illegal or immoral, your Lin family."

He was just someone with slightly higher mental power.

What was there to be so proud of?

He still hadn't gotten into the Imperial University.

Lin Hao, who was already close to home, naturally paid no attention to the man's words.

A few more days passed like this. His mother suddenly burst into his tightly closed room, her face filled with excitement, and rushed to his bedside. "You can go to the Imperial University, so my dear Ah Lin, don't be sad anymore. If you're sad, we'll all be sad."

She lowered her head and gently caressed Lin Hao's head, saying tenderly.

As Lin Hao looked up, he could see the near overflowing gentleness and care in his mother's eyes.

Lin Hao's heart suddenly trembled. He immediately lowered his gaze, avoiding looking at his mother's eyes.

He was afraid.

He was afraid that if he looked at that gaze again, he would be completely lost.

However, even though he thought this, his hands still honestly wrapped around her shoulders.

He allowed himself to be enveloped by this tenderness.

As expected, it was as warm as he had imagined.

He promised himself that he wouldn't be like this tomorrow.

"Ah Lin, you're going to school. I've prepared some things for you."

What was missing outside that they needed to pack three large boxes?

"Ah Lin, why did you leave without saying a word? You scared me and your father so much."

He wasn't a child anymore, could he get lost?

"Ah Lin, as a reward for not running around these past few days, here's the cake I just made. Try it. Your father hasn't even tasted it yet."

Well, he would reluctantly try it.

Apart from being a bit sweet, it was quite delicious.

"Ah Lin, when you're at school, you must write to me and Dad often. Otherwise, Dad will be sad."

He fully suspected that *she* was the one who would be sad.

However, to avoid his mother crying again, he decided not to say it out loud.

Time slowly slipped away amidst these trivial matters.

Just as Lin Hao was eating, the body's mother suddenly ran in front of him and threw herself into his arms, her face full of anxiety. "Ah Lin, run, run out the window. Don't look back."

The noisy sounds from outside were also gradually approaching as his mother rushed in.

Lin Hao naturally heard the noisy sounds outside. He lowered his head, gently patted his mother's body, and softly comforted her, "What's wrong? Are you playing hide-and-seek with Father?"

Because such situations happened often, Lin Hao didn't think too much of it.

But the mother in his arms, her face tear-streaked, shook her head at Lin Hao.

Even though she had many words she wanted to say to her child, under the circumstances, her ability to speak seemed to have been lost, and she only shook her head mechanically.

"Bang."

At this moment, the main door was suddenly kicked open by a group of strangers.

They were wearing neat Imperial Army uniforms and looked down with disdain at the mother and son hiding in the room.

"Give up resisting. The Emperor should be lenient with your punishment."

The man in the middle walked to the front of them and said to them with an arrogant expression.

At this moment, Lin Hao saw this person he had never met before.

He placed his mother behind him, blocking the group's gaze from his mother, and said coldly to the group, "What are you here for?"

What had happened?

Why were there so many Imperial Army personnel here?

"You're the good-for-nothing Lin family paid to get into the Imperial University, aren't you? As expected of the Lin family, rich and powerful. For such a useless person, they were so bold even when they knew that buying an identity was strictly prohibited by the Empire."

The man sized up Lin Hao, his eyes almost overflowing with mockery. He then looked around Lin Hao's room as he spoke.

Lin Hao hadn't reacted to this when his mother, who was blocked behind him, stepped forward and reprimanded sternly, "Who are you calling a good-for-nothing? How dare you speak to me like this? Don't you know who you are?"

"Oh? Tell me who I am, and then let's see who you are. A criminal who violated the Imperial Constitution for a good-for-nothing, and you still have the time to talk about status with me?"

The man who turned around, upon hearing his mother's words, showed no impatience. Instead, he easily retorted.

He raised his hand and said casually, "People of the Lin family, resisting Imperial arrest. Have been executed on the spot."

Upon hearing this order, the people behind him immediately took aim in Lin Hao's direction.

The captain waved his hand lightly, and countless lasers shot towards Lin Hao.

Seeing this, his mother immediately embraced Lin Hao behind her and forcefully pushed his head down, ensuring his entire body was under hers.

Countless lasers shot into his mother's body. Looking at the stunned Lin Hao, her eyes were filled with reluctance. Her words were broken, "Ah Lin, from now on, from now on, things, mother won't be here, ... you must be extremely careful, and remember, ... I, I, and Father, love, love you."

After saying this, she completely collapsed into Lin Hao's arms.

Lin Hao stared blankly at his mother who had fallen into his arms.

It was such a warm embrace, why did it make him feel so sad?

He had clearly followed Ye Xue's wishes and no longer had any pity or feelings for these NPCs.

Yet, why were there still tears flowing from his eyes?

Perhaps it was raining again?
