Chapter 120: Going Home
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
After many hardships, Shi Lin and his entourage finally returned to the vicinity of the Shi Family Manor, and the outer walls of the manor could be seen from afar.
"Brother Lin, is that your manor up ahead? It seems bigger than before. And the city walls are higher too." Ma Hongjun pointed to the thick city walls not far away and asked Shi Lin with a puzzled look.
Ma Hongjun clearly remembered that the city wall wasn't this high when he last came back.
"How insecure is Dad? He's reinforced the walls again. I'm afraid the next step is to build a moat." Shi Lin scratched his head awkwardly.
At this moment, the Shi Family Manor is already showing signs of developing into a town, with its area growing larger, its walls getting higher, and its guards becoming more numerous.
I wonder what stage Shrek Academy is at right now, and whether my family's gold soul coins are enough to maintain the normal operation of Shrek Academy.
"We've had a long and tiring journey, let's grit our teeth and get a good rest when we get home," Shi Lin said earnestly to Ma Hongjun and Oscar.
After hearing Shi Lin's words, Ma Hongjun nodded and then drove the carriage into the manor.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the city gate.
At this moment, below the city gate, a dozen or so guards in iron armor arrived in front of Shi Lin's carriage and surrounded it.
"Who goes there? This is the Shi family's manor. If you have nothing to do, please leave immediately. Outsiders are not welcome here." The guard leader, a middle-aged man, spoke to Ma Hongjun in a steady voice.
"I am Shi Lin. Hurry up and open the gate to let us in," Shi Lin said with a snort of annoyance.
The guard leader was also an elder of the Shi family and knew Shi Lin.
His own father would never give up this position to someone who had just joined the Shi family, so this person was an acquaintance.
"Oh, young master, you're finally back! We've missed you so much!" The guard leader said to Shi Lin with a big smile.
"Alright, hurry up and let us in. We've been traveling for half a month, and I just want to go back to sleep now," Shi Lin said to the guard leader with annoyance.
"Men, escort the young master into the manor." The guard leader bowed to Shi Lin, then immediately ordered his men to lead Shi Lin and his companions into the manor.
Then, Shi Lin's carriage, led by a dozen guards, entered the Shi family manor.
...
Soon, Shi Lin returned to his courtyard.
"Someone, tell my father that I won't go to see him today, I'll go tomorrow." Shi Lin instructed his servant to inform Shi Zhen that he was safe.
However, Shi Lin felt that his father knew he had returned as soon as he entered the Shi family manor.
"Yes, young master." The two young maids responded to Shi Lin and then turned to do their work.
"Someone, prepare five buckets of hot water immediately and deliver them to each of your rooms," Shi Lin shouted to the remaining servants.
"Yes, young master!" several servants replied, and then went to arrange for hot water.
"Old Ma, Old Oscar, take a shower today and go to bed early. We'll discuss the Soul Hunting Token and hunting soul beasts again tomorrow morning," Shi Lin said to Ma Hongjun and Oscar.
The two of them were exhausted from the long journey and had no energy left to chat.
"Okay, Brother Lin." The two replied in unison, and then, led by the servant, returned to their guest room to wash up and rest.
"Brother An, Sister Lin Yu, you two come with me for a moment." After watching Ma Hongjun and Oscar leave, Shi Lin led Shi An and Lin Yu back to his room.
After entering the room, Shi Lin activated his soul tool and took out more than a dozen soul tools.
These soul tools were all damaged ones that Shi Lin had picked up from the black market himself. Along the way, Shi Lin had been using the Pocket Gu to repair these soul tools.
There were at least thirty soul tools, and it was only by Shi Lin's six Pocket Gu working together that all the soul tools were repaired before he got home.
"Come on, it wasn't convenient to give them to you two on the way. Now that we're home, each of you can pick one to replace the Pocket Gu," Shi Lin said to Shi An and Lin Yu.
"Young Master... this... isn't this too extravagant?" Lin Yu stammered as she asked Shi Lin.
Lin Yu also helped Shi Lin find damaged soul tools when he was in Heaven Dou City, so she also knew the price of normal soul tools.
The price of a regular soul tool ranges from 30,000 to 100,000 gold soul coins.
Such a valuable gift, and their young master just gave it to the two of them so easily.
Shi An had followed Shi Lin the longest, so without any hesitation or excuse, he took two steps forward and began searching through the pile of soul tools.
Lin Yu glanced at Shi An's performance, then rushed over to choose her favorite soul tool.
Shi Lin shook his head helplessly as he watched the two of them. Was he really that cruel? Did he need to figure out his own feelings?
Soon, Shi An chose a wristband, and Lin Yu chose a bracelet.
Moreover, the soul tools chosen by the two of them were of excellent quality and had a very large interior space.
After receiving the soul tool, Shi An and Lin Yu transferred the contents of their Pocket Gu into the soul tool and then handed the Pocket Gu back to Shi Lin.
After all, the Pocket Gu takes up a contract slot, and once the soul tool is obtained, the Pocket Gu will naturally be phased out.
"Alright, you two have worked hard these past few days. Go back and get some rest. We'll discuss other things first thing tomorrow morning." Shi Lin dismissed the two of them.
"Your subordinates take their leave." Shi An and Lin Yu bowed to Shi Lin and then left Shi Lin's room.
After watching the two leave his room, Shi Lin packed up the soul tools and put them into his soul tool.
The damaged soul tools that Shi Lin selected in Heaven Dou City were all soul tools with extremely large space after repair. Shi Lin estimated that the real price of this bag of soul tools was eight million gold soul coins, or even higher.
With these soul tools, the Shi family now has relatively valuable fixed assets, so they won't be short of money.
After resting in a chair for a while, a servant brought a bucket of hot water into the room.
Ignoring everything else, Shi Lin took off his clothes and jumped into the hot water for a bath.
On the way back to the Shi family manor from Heaven Dou City, Shi Lin was unable to take frequent baths, and now he could feel that he smelled bad.
Lying in the hot water tub, Shi Lin felt waves of comfort.
"It's so much more comfortable at home. It's just too hard to endure the elements outside." Shi Lin lay in the bathtub, soaking while drinking juice.
