I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 540 - 391 Mr. Lin Faraway_2

"Goodness gracious."

As the car stopped in the Maple Forest Courtyard, Du Yu grinned. "Remind me next time, let’s not enter the city at this hour."

Lin Shiwei chuckled. Songta Garden is in the east of the city, the Great Xia Government is in the west. Who else would get stuck in traffic but you?

As soon as the girl opened the door and got out, a few Wolf Lake Dogs by the kennel immediately wagged their tails in excitement: "Woof~ Woof!"

They raced over, one faster than the next, frolicking around Lin Shiwei’s legs.

The scene really looked just like recently promoted Li Mengnan...

"Hehe~" Lin Shiwei laughed, squatting down and petting the dogs’ heads repeatedly.

Still four of them, not one missing.

Ever since Prince Yan jumped into the girl’s arms and questioned why there were fewer dogs, Lin Shiwei had specifically reminded her mother not to sell any more.

Even though Prince Yan didn’t visit often, Lin Shiwei didn’t want Xiaoyan to be sad again.

No matter when the Fire Fox came, her four canine companions would always be here to greet her.

"Thunk." Du Yu closed the car door and, looking at the girl surrounded by beautiful Wolf Lake Dogs, felt his frustration melt away a bit.

After tonight’s traffic, he was seriously questioning his demon life.

"Let Xiaoyan out," Lin Shiwei rubbed the dog head in front of her face.

"Ying!" Along with a soft cry, the little mistress Lin Shiwei was instantly dethroned.

The Wolf Lake Dogs shifted their target, pouncing on their big sis.

"Ying?" Prince Yan, seeing the little bros, was so happy she jumped up!

A fiery red figure bounced across the heads of the dogs, running a lap on the four Wolf Lake Dogs’ heads, then dashed off afar.

The Wolf Lake Dogs barked "woof woof" and chased after her.

Their eyes followed the four dogs and one fox, but suddenly, Du Yu froze.

There was actually a middle-aged man standing at the villa entrance.

Lin Shiwei called out, "Dad."

Du Yu: "..."

So this was Mr. Lin?

He’d teamed up with Lin Shiwei for a whole year, yet this was the first time meeting her father.

Du Yu finally understood where Lin Shiwei’s sharp, heroic eyebrows came from.

Mr. Lin, in his mid-forties, tall and imposing with a commanding air—clearly a Demon Tamer.

He looked strict, giving off the stern dad vibes, and nodded at the young man and woman by the car—counting it as a greeting.

Lin Shiwei got up, walked to Du Yu’s side, and took him toward the villa, her voice fast and quiet: "Lin Yuanfang, Peak of Demon Taming General, Demon Spirit Squad."

"Got it," Du Yu replied softly.

"Dad, is the squad not busy anymore?" Lin Shiwei trotted forward and gave her father a gentle hug.

Mr. Lin’s sternness cracked a bit; it was hard to keep a straight face. He lifted his hand and gently patted his daughter on the back. "Mm."

Lin Shiwei stepped back and motioned to Du Yu behind her. "This is Du Yu, Aunt Qingqing’s disciple, my fellow apprentice."

Lin Yuanfang extended his right hand. "I’ve heard a lot about you."

"Hello, Uncle Lin." Du Yu grabbed Mr. Lin’s strong hand and responded with a smile.

Lin Yuanfang: "Minor Achievement?"

Du Yu nodded. "Minor Achievement Stage. Shiwei also just advanced to Great Demon Tamer."

As expected, Lin Yuanfang was more concerned about his daughter. He immediately turned to look at the girl.

Of course, he knew Lin Shiwei was a Great Demon Tamer. He’d come home this time to bring a Demon Pet to his daughter.

Even so, when Lin Yuanfang saw his daughter smile and nod, he couldn’t help but feel gratified and deeply comforted.

Before she turned eighteen, he knew well how much pain and struggle his daughter had endured.

The sudden Thousand Paper Cranes phenomenon changed her fate, letting this stubborn child finally see her wish fulfilled.

And Heaven’s blessings didn’t stop there.

Awakening at the very end of her eighteenth year, she naturally had extremely low innate talent.

Lin Yuanfang had assumed his daughter would continue to struggle on the Demon Taming path, never expecting...

In just one year, she’d already reached such heights.

"Come in, Dad, let’s talk inside." Lin Shiwei hooked her father’s arm and pushed the door open. "Is the squad super busy?"

"Still alright." Lin Yuanfang seemed unwilling to discuss work. "The Ghost Skull, I brought it back for you."

"How many attributes?"

"Five, no Water Attribute."

Off to the side, Du Yu couldn’t help but smack his lips in amazement.

Dreams come true!

The number one Spirit List entry in Shaohai Province is a five-attribute Ghost Skull!

Celestial Treasure Race creatures are rare to begin with, let alone getting a Ghost Skull with every attribute—that’s even harder!

No doubt about its value.

Who knows how much Lin Yuanfang had to sacrifice for this Ghost Skull.

Lin Shiwei: "Dad..."

"It’s in your room, go have a look," Lin Yuanfang cut his daughter off and glanced at Du Yu. "Sit, Xiaodu."

"Ah." Du Yu looked at Lin Shiwei.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then gave Du Yu a helpless look and walked away.

"I heard you and Xiaowei both joined the Twenty-Ninth Bureau," Lin Yuanfang motioned to the sofa beside him.

Du Yu could only sit down. "Yes, I joined together with Master Qing."

"Very good job, good place for front-line training," Lin Yuanfang’s face softened, approval flashing in his eyes. "I watched your performance at Jihua Village—impressive young man."

Du Yu: "You’re too kind, Uncle Lin."

All the Twenty-Ninth Bureau’s missions are, of course, top secret.

Even with Lin Yuanfang’s high position in the military, he could only know what the public could see from videos people posted online.

If Lin Yuanfang knew the whole story of Du Yu subduing all the Ancient Spiritual Artifacts, his evaluation would skyrocket a thousandfold!

Lin Yuanfang lifted his gaze, looking toward the corridor where his daughter’s figure had disappeared. "With the Ghost Skull, Xiaowei’s fighting style will probably get fiercer."

Du Yu said, "I’ll do my absolute best to protect my teammate."

It’s not that Du Yu was saying what people wanted to hear; that truly was his real thought.

Everyone in the Master Qing Team was someone Du Yu wanted to keep safe.

Alone and desolate in his past life; blessed with true friends in this one.

Du Yu didn’t want to lose anyone.

"Mm." Lin Yuanfang nodded. "Last time you two did the Ancient Wilderness City end-of-term exam, your teamwork was excellent."

Really, even though he was busy and hardly ever home, Mr. Lin paid extra attention to his daughter.

"Uh." Du Yu felt a bit guilty. "We just took a wrong turn—Book House was too sneaky."

"Heh." Lin Yuanfang actually smiled, a rare sight. "You’re young. It’s no big deal."

Du Yu: "Mm..."

In just a few words, Lin Yuanfang had gotten a preliminary idea of who Du Yu was.

Just as his wife had said, this first Paper Crane Disciple was truly humble, without the slightest arrogance.

As for his wife’s other opinions on Du Yu, Lin Yuanfang didn’t need to check them one by one.

He trusted his wife’s judgment, and he believed in the teaching ability of clan member Yang Qingqing.

Lin Yuanfang shifted the topic back to the beginning. "Xiaowei’s grown up, and her job is special. As her parents, we can’t help that much."

"Uncle’s got a favor to ask you, okay?"

"Uncle Lin, please don’t say that," Du Yu waved his hands rapidly.

As a Peak Demon Taming General and a senior commander of the Demon Spirit Squad—not to mention the Lin Family’s pillar in this generation—this favor was huge; Du Yu could raise a fuss in the Ancient Pine Tower just for this.

Lin Yuanfang said seriously, "Take care of her." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

For some reason, Du Yu just felt like Mr. Lin was entrusting his daughter’s life to him?

Du Yu, as a Great Demon Tamer with a Demon Soul, picked up on something that actually made him nervous.

No way! He’d have to ask Shiwei later exactly what kind of missions her dad’s unit undertook...

Du Yu’s expression also turned solemn. "No need to ask, Uncle Lin. I will."

Lin Yuanfang looked into Du Yu’s eyes—even with all the people he’d seen, it was rare to find such sincere eyes.

No wonder he could contract a Dust Spirit Deer.

He even managed to plead for his not-quite-qualified daughter to contract a Dust Spirit Deer too.

"Xiaoyu’s here." Suddenly, a gentle voice floated over.

Du Yu looked up and saw Su Ming’an walk in holding a fruit platter. He stood up and greeted her, "Aunt Su."

"Sit, sit, sit, you child, still so polite," Su Ming’an said kindly, placing the sliced oranges on the coffee table.

Ever since the Great Breeder showed up, the whole living room felt brighter and the mood warmer.

Su Ming’an: "How’s the Dust Spirit Deer cub doing?"

"Very well—frolicking in the woods every day, growing up fast."

"I’ll get you some Demon Pet Food later so you can take it back for the Dust Spirit Deer."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Aunt Su..."
