Chapter 1223: Chapter 882: Father Isn’t Dead?!

Yue Lin looked at the plaque of the Yun Family opposite, his mind drifting momentarily as if he had been here countless times before, an inexplicable feeling drawing him to this place.

"Pass the ball to me!"

"Hehe, chase me!"

At the entrance, a group of children of similar age were playing soccer.

Yue Lin immediately noticed a little boy with silver short hair among them.

He looked about four or five years old, dressed elegantly, with a face exceptionally handsome and delicate. There was an innate cool arrogance between his brows, a regal aura beyond measure.

Despite being the youngest, he stood out remarkably among the crowd.

Yue Lin’s steps halted silently, a look of surprise and slight bewilderment emerging on his stern face.

"Watch out!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and the ball flew directly towards Yue Lin.

The group of kids thought disaster was imminent, scattering in fright, while Yue Lin calmly caught the ball with a raised hand and tossed it back.

"Wow, thank you, uncle!"

Yun Kang happily caught the ball, then looked up to see what this uncle looked like, only to be stunned. He let out a sharp "Ah!" as if he had seen a ghost and ran straight towards home.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t taken more than two steps before a pair of large hands lifted him up entirely, his little legs kicking in the air desperately. Angry yet scared, he said, "You, you! Let go of me, sob sob!"

Yue Lin spun him around facing him, laughing, "What are you afraid of? Am I really that scary?"

"You, you..." Yun Kang was shocked as he looked at his face, unable to speak.

This strange uncle looks... just like his father.

Yun Kang had never seen his father in person, but their home had photos and videos left by his father.

He wasn’t much different from ordinary children; he longed for his father’s affection, often secretly watching videos of him... So when he saw Yue Lin’s face clearly, he was shocked, unable to say it was just resemblance; it was exactly the same!

But his mother and grandfather clearly said his father died long ago, sacrificing himself to save the people during a disaster—a hero... Could it be that he’s seeing a ghost?

Ah, father, I miss you a lot, but please don’t come as a ghost to find me!

Hmm, seems it’s not a ghost though—the hand holding him is warm, and the man’s chest rises and falls with breathing, exhaling warm air.

He’s alive!

Could it really be... that father isn’t dead?

At that moment, Yun Kang’s rounded, moist wolf eyes widened, a flood of thoughts swirling in his little head, becoming even more confused about what was happening.

Yue Lin watched his adorable expression, feeling amused and finding him quite cute, "So you’re the young master of the Yun Family? I’ve wanted to meet you for years, and you really do resemble me quite a bit."

This kid’s talent was moderate, not quite extraordinary but also not terrible, at least stronger than an ordinary person.

It’s a pity he’s the only heir, probably pampered by the family, almost five years old yet hasn’t started training... The old man is so old, this brat isn’t trying hard, how will he shoulder the Yun Family’s responsibilities when he grows up?

Yue Lin felt a slight disappointment at wasted potential, almost wanting to give him two slaps on the butt!

But since it was the first time meeting the child, he didn’t want to appear too stern or lose favor.

He found a bottle of Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion from his space, "Didn’t bring anything great this time, consider this a meeting gift. It can help you wash your marrow and cut your veins, making future training easier."

The little wolf cub outright refused his kindness, struggling to escape from his embrace.

Yue Lin, not used to dealing with children, felt irritated and decided to open the potion to pour it directly into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, the child became even more frightened, biting onto his arm. Yue Lin dropped the potion in pain, and Yun Kang quickly jumped away.

Yue Lin was speechless with anger, "Do you have any idea how precious this potion is? Many people seek it but can’t get it!"

A child wouldn’t understand such things and defiantly said, "Mom said not to eat things from strangers!"

"Strangers? How am I not considered your..." Yue Lin suddenly found himself at a loss for words, unsure how to continue.

"Kang! Who are you talking to?"

A clear and charming voice suddenly sounded from behind.

The little wolf cub instantly turned happily and ran over, "Mommy!"

Yue Lin followed the sound.

The woman across the crowd met his gaze, her large, clear eyes suddenly widening with shock, her body seemingly swaying lightly, lips trembling, instinctively wanting to call out those two words but quickly swallowing them, only muttering with a trembling voice, "Your Excellency... Who are you?"
