Hubert could not say a word. He stared blankly as if he had lost all his soul.
Little Flower kneeled on the ground and kowtowed towards Lin Ke, "Young Master Cohen, thousands of mistakes are all my fault, it's not related to young master Hubert, he really didn't know that those people would be so bad, and he didn't know that he would cause you harm. He's very simple, believe me young master Cohen, young master Hubert is actually very simple, he doesn't want to hurt anyone, he's so kind …"
Lin Ke walked up to her and helped her up, "I know whether he's kind or not, but I also know if he's stupid. Go cook, Little Flower, you've trained for so long, right?"
Little Flower was pleasantly surprised. She thanked him profusely, but hesitated to go to the villa, her eyes looking at Hubert constantly. The worry and concern in her eyes were self-evident. "Young Master, can you really forgive Young Master Hubert? He really meant no harm. "
"Why don't you ask your father?" Lin Ke suddenly said.
"He is a complete bastard. He knows that I came to the imperial capital with young master Hubert, so he came from Wind City and asked young master Hubert for money in my name, and young master Hubert always gave him kindness, so he took it out to gamble, and when he lost, he never did what a father should have done, and treated me and his siblings like slaves, and sold me to the rich in exchange for gambling money."
"My mother passed away when we were very young, and I still haven't been able to find my younger brothers and sisters and make a new family," she said as tears streamed down her face, "This time he gambled so hard that even Master Hubert couldn't pay his gambling debts, but those people said they could take … "Exchange your information for money to repay his debts and get him out. I have let you down, and even more so, Master Hubert. I owe him far too much, far too much …"
"Don't say anymore," Hubert said tearfully as he gathered Little Flower into his arms. "It's all my fault. It's all my fault that I'm useless. It's all my fault …"
"What are you going to do?" Lin Ke spoke with a deep voice.
For a moment, other than tears, there was nothing else they could do.
"Let him perish on his own," Little Flower cried until her tears dried, then said somewhat sluggishly, "Maybe he shouldn't have come to this world, and I shouldn't have come to this world either. After experiencing all the suffering and suffering, what does he want us to do? I will assume that I am dead, and my life will belong to Master Hubert. "
Hubert clenched his teeth. He then turned around and knelt in front of Cohen, kowtowing and kowtowing with his head heavily on the ground. "Cohen, I'm begging you. Help me save Little Flower's father.
"Young Master!" Little Flower turned pale with fright and ran over to Hubert's side, trying to pull him up, but she couldn't do so. She could only kneel down with him, feeling miserable and miserable all of a sudden. Little Flower couldn't afford it! "Sob, sob …"
Lin Ke lifted Hubert up from the ground. A spellcaster had such power. "When did your life become so cheap?!" If Big Uncle was still here, how would he feel when he saw you like this?! "
"Who told him to die so early!"
Lin Ke's eyebrows furrowed together as the magical energy around his body fluctuated violently. A wave of anger that had never been shown before exploded forth. He said with a sinister tone, "If you keep talking like that, I'll kill you!"
"You know better than me why Eldest Uncle sacrificed himself. If I hear you say that again, I'll definitely not let you off!"
He let out two long breaths, then taunted, "I, Cohen, do not have the title of a noble, let alone Hubert's evaluation of you. I am just a Mutters' son who fought his way forward in pursuit of his own dream and the glory of his family, compared to my ancestors, I have paid a small price, I do not have more ties to your eldest young master, and it is only convenient for me to get Little Flower's gambler father out. I do not want your life, I only beg you never to try to disgrace the deceased.
Lin Ke glanced at Hubert, then turned to Little Flower and said, "Your gambler father is mine, but remember your words, from now on, you are dead. Your life belongs to that bastard beside you, and I have already sent someone to return to Wind City, where he will not die, but he will never appear in front of you again. Your siblings already have people searching for him, so if they find him, they will come to you, and I, Cohen, will always do what I say!"
He turned around and walked two steps before stopping. He paused and said, "How difficult is it for people to live in this world? Without a father, you still have a mother. Have you ever seen those homeless kids struggling to survive in this cruel world? "
"Do you know how Lilisse, who is standing right in front of you, not only raised her brother in that cruel environment of the slum, but also raised a large number of abandoned children?! Do you know that the big black guy behind me is also an orphan who was raised by an elder of his race? Do you know how much ridicule and injustice that girl Barbie, who is like a blooming flower all day long, has never grown up by her parents' side, only living under a foster mother's shelter for so many years?! "
"I know! So I cherish every moment of living and every person in my life more, so I have my own dream on the road to carry the dreams of those who love me, so I will not stop to give myself a simple reason. Stand up, like a Murters man! "
Hubert wiped away his tears and stood up abruptly. He looked at the departing figure of Link and bent down, unable to get up for a long time.
Silent sobs.

Lin Ke was strolling on the road in the courtyard of the War God Academy with his hands behind his back.
Behind him was Neil.
"Do you think I'm being too harsh?" "We can't ask everyone around us to work as hard as we do."
"You just love this family too much," Neil said faintly. "You can't ask for it, but you've always been influencing them. Think about it, think about Mentor, think about Hubert and the rest of the people in the family, from the Patriarch to the Elders, from the servants and guards, because of you."
"Huh? I'm not as strong as you say, I'm just doing what I want to do and what I have to do. "Rincewind frowned and thought about it. He found that since some time ago, he had developed a deep affection for the Murters family and surname, and he didn't know whether it was the memories of Cohen that came from the soul or the satisfaction of his own emotions after crossing over." It's that simple to protect those who want to be protected, to give them the life they want to live. "
"That's not easy, you know," Neil smiled.
Lin Ke also smiled. "That's right, that's why this road has yet to come to an end."
