Chapter 1410 Who Am I?

The Lin Family residence.

The thirteen-year-old little young master of the Lin Family, Lin Xun, was seated at the edge of the pond as usual, staring blankly into space.

"The young master is bewitched again..."

In the distance, a few servants remarked in low voices. They were not surprised by this scene.

Thirteen years ago, a strange phenomenon occurred where a stream of purple qi hung over the Lin Family residence. It was also the day that the little young master of the Lin Family, Lin Xun, was born.

Due to these circumstances, he became a celebrity in Yujing City when he was born.

The little young master was beloved by everyone in the family who believed that he would inevitably become a mighty hegemon in the future.

Most importantly, the family head had seven daughters and Lin Xun was the only son!

In other words, the Lin Family\'s enormous estate would be inherited by Lin Xun in the future.

Hence, there was no need to further explain the special status he possessed.

To everyone\'s surprise, however, Little Young Master Lin Xun\'s personality turned out to be extremely eccentric. Since young, he refused to get close to anyone, including his parents.

To make matters worse, Lin Xun showed no interest in anything and preferred to spend his time alone staring off into space.

It might have been fine if that was all, but Lin Xun would often say strange things such as,

"I\'m not Lin Xun, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

"I\'ll know who I am one day!"

"Right, I don\'t know who I am, but I know that I\'m certainly not me."

And other similar things. As such, Lin Xun became a problem child that gave his parents a huge headache.

At present, any mention of the Lin Family\'s little young master in Yujing City would draw roars of laughter.

"He’s a fool!"

"Yeah, a...fool who was born amidst a heavenly phenomenon. Hahaha."

Numerous people viewed Lin Xun this way in Yujing City, which made him a laughingstock.

He was a boy who rejected contact with anyone since young and was fond of talking nonsense. So he had to be a fool!

As the number one cultivation family in Yujing City with a fool as its sole male heir, it was impossible for this matter not to draw attention.

Of course, although many people in the Lin Family suspected that their little young master was born a fool, no one dared to say it out loud.

Over the years, the Lin Family tried all kinds of methods to cure the young master’s ‘stupidity’ and make him normal.

For example, searching for miracle medicines, inviting famous monks to perform their magical arts...money was spent like water in an effort to cure him.

However, all of it was fruitless.

The little young master was still as eccentric as ever. Additionally, the older he grew the more withdrawn he became. He displayed zero interest in anything.

The only thing he did was blankly stare into space.

His parents’ hair grew white from worry, and even they began to suspect that their son was born with some kind of brain defect...

Fortunately, Lin Xun was still their flesh and blood. Although he appeared to be a fool, he didn’t receive any mistreatment.

On the contrary, the entire Lin Family extremely doted upon their little young master. Regardless of whether he was a fool, they only wished for him to grow up safe and sound.

Of course, everyone also knew that the little young master was no longer fated to be the Lin Family\'s heir.

......

When Lin Xun was fifteen years old, something big happened

The Wang Family of Yujing City, which originally had an arranged marriage with the Lin Family, personally visited to request to break off the engagement.

According to the Wang Family Head, Wang Tianxing, he had already waited fifteen years, but the Lin Family\'s son still hadn\'t been cured and he didn’t wish to wait any longer.

In short, his daughter would not marry a fool.

Although the Lin Family Head wasn’t happy about this, he expressed his understanding and very magnanimously agreed to dissolve the betrothal.

Lin Xun\'s mother, on the other hand, was extremely furious. She believed that although her son had some quirks, he didn\'t have any bad habits.

In her opinion, the Wang Family were clearly being unreasonable, and their actions were akin to destroying the bridge behind them after crossing the river!

However, the entire Lin Family could do nothing but sigh in response.

"You\'re Lin Xun, right? I’m called Wang Ziluan. If things went as planned, we would have gotten married this year, but I must apologize because I\'m not going to marry a fool."

On the day of the annulment, a beautiful girl who looked to be around fourteen years old appeared in the courtyard where Lin Xun lived.

She was very beautiful, with snow-white skin, a melon-shaped face, big eyes, and a lovely, slender figure. Although she was still young, she was already quite a beauty.

Her character, however, appeared to be extremely forceful and proud. When she ascertained that Lin Xun was the famous fool of Yujing City, she didn\'t hesitate to speak directly from the heart.

To her surprise, the other party didn\'t react at all. He remained seated in front of the pond as his hollow eyes gazed over the blue water.

It was as if the pond was more mesmerizing than the girl next to him.

"Did you hear what I said?"

Wang Ziluan was furious and glared at Lin Xun. "Don\'t think that I can’t do anything about you if you remain mute. I\'ll make this clear now. If I, Wang Ziluan, wish to marry, I will marry only a top-class elite!"

Lin Xun still didn’t react. There was no movement whatsoever, not even a single blink.

This made Wang Ziluan increasingly enraged. She became so angry that her face turned red, and she tightly clenched her teeth, wishing she could kick this fool who dared to ignore her.

However, her rage soon dissipated. She seemed to finally understand and mockingly laughed at herself. "So he is a fool after all. Why am I getting worked up over a fool?"

After which, she left.

The maidservant, Xiaocao, who was waiting by the side couldn’t help but feel a small surge of anger when she saw this.

Go ahead and call off the engagement if you want to, the little young master can’t be bothered with such things.

However, Wang Ziluan had gone too far by coming all the way here to mock the little young master!

Xiaocao couldn’t help but ask, "Young Master, aren’t you angry?"

Under the banyan tree by the pond, the young man dazedly stared at the water as if he hadn’t heard her at all.

Xiaocao couldn\'t help but feel a wave of disappointment. How shameful and humiliating must it be for a man to have his engagement dissolved?

Despite this, the young master seemed to have no reaction!

"Alas, is the young master...truly brain damaged?"

Xiaocao inwardly sighed, lamenting his misfortune and angry at the injustice.

"Why should I be angry? Is she worth it?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in Xiaocao\'s ears. She froze in shock and looked up to see the young master had risen to his feet at some unknown time.

The white clothes on his thin body somehow made him exude a faint otherworldly elegance.

"She isn’t."

As if answering his question, the young man shook his head and walked to his abode.

"The young master heard everything..."

Xiaocao was astonished. As she watched him leave, she suddenly recalled that besides being fond of blankly staring into space, the young master had never done anything ‘foolish’ over the years.

......

News soon spread in Yujing City that Wang Ziluan, the eldest young lady of the Wang Family, had married Huangfu Shao Yu, who was known as the number one young master of Yujing City.

The Huangfu Family was also a cultivation family. Although they weren’t as powerful as the Lin Family, their foundations were not to be underestimated.

Huangfu Shao Yu was especially impressive. Last year, he was admitted into the number one sect in the land, the Qingyun Sect, and was even an inner direct disciple.

Huangfu Shao Yu was akin to the pride of the heavens in people\'s eyes. Therefore, the marriage of Wang Ziluan and Huangfu Shao Yu instantly became a hot topic in Yujing City.

On the other hand, Lin Xun’s engagement being dissolved became another topic of laughter among the city folk.

The famous heir of the Lin Family, who was born amidst a heavenly phenomenon, was still a fool after sixteen years. Moreover, he was a fool that even women shunned, which naturally made him an easy target of ridicule.

......

When Lin Xun was nineteen years old, the Lin Family suffered a great tragedy.

The Lin Family Head offended the Qingyun Sect during a struggle over a mineral deposit and was seriously injured by the sect master.

At the same time, the businesses under the Lin Family were oppressed by the Qingyun Sect, dealing a devastating blow to the family.

All of their former glory was blown away by the wind and rain.

On the other hand, Wang Ziluan\'s Wang Family received support from the Qingyun Sect and quickly became the number one cultivation faction in Yujing City.

In a gathering hosted by the Wang Family, the Wang Family Head, Wang Tianxing, proudly declared, "The wisest decision I made in this life is to help my daughter, Ziluan, break off her engagement."

These words swiftly spread throughout the city.

As a result, the fool, Lin Xun, once more became the laughingstock of the city.

......

By the time Lin Xun was twenty-six years old, the Lin Family had declined to a very precarious state.

It was because the Lin Family Head had died of illness two years ago, causing the Lin Family to lose their main pillar. This soon resulted in a situation that could be described as rats deserting a sinking ship.

Lin Xun was still the little young master of the Lin Family. However, his life had fallen into poverty, and he could no longer afford even a single maidservant.

The once great Lin Family had fallen.

It wasn\'t long before Lin Xun\'s mother also died of depression.

From then on, Lin Xun\'s situation grew even worse.

Although Lin Xun\'s parents were dead, there were many members of the Lin Family. However, no one wanted to support a foolish young master, leaving him to fend for himself.

Despite this, Lin Xun didn’t change his habit of staring off into space.

No matter how difficult his situation or how poor he became, Lin Xun appeared completely oblivious and only continued to stare off into space.

"Get lost, the Lin Family no longer needs a fool like you! We’ve been mocked all these years because of you. They ridicule us because we\'re relatives of a fool, making us feel so ashamed that we can never lift our heads in public."

One day, a group of people rushed into the Lin Family residence. Although they were Lin Xun\'s cousins, their gazes were filled with loathing when they looked at him.

"Remember, you\'re forbidden from calling yourself a Lin Family disciple in the future. In other words, you don\'t deserve to have the surname Lin anymore!"

On that same day, news that the fool Lin Xun had been expelled from the Lin Family spread in the city, drawing sighs of pity.

After so many years, the little young master, who was once beloved by all of his family, had fallen to a state where he was expelled by that very same family and could only live on the streets. How could anyone not sigh in pity at such a fate?

In contrast, Wang Ziluan, who had been engaged to him back then, was now a noblewoman that many people could only look up to.

Moreover, the Wang Family greatly benefited due to her husband, Huangfu Shao Yu, and their power and influence were still growing day by day. At this rate, they would soon become the undisputed number one clan of Yujing City.

Heavy snow fell on the city.

After more than twenty years, Lin Xun, who had always been regarded as a fool, walked alone on the street. Despite it being winter, he was dressed in thin clothes that were covered in snow.

His figure appeared frail and lonely.

At the sight of this scene, the mysterious woman, who was watching from the outside, grew increasingly curious. Would Lin Xun be able to find himself amidst such misfortune?
