Lin only glanced at the booklet once before he immediately closed it.
Taking a deep breath, he walked over to the candlestick in the hall, took out a lighter, and burned the Kasaya fragment along with the booklet.
"Zhao, thank you for showing me this ancestral relic."
"The Lin family cannot bear such a curse; let it dissipate into smoke and clouds."
Watching the flames, Lin Zhennan's face showed only reflection, without regret. Only once the booklet and Kasaya had turned to ashes did he finally take a long sigh of relief.
This act earned him some admiration from Zhao Rong.
The thing that others fought desperately over, Lin decisively chose to discard.
Shortly thereafter,
the three members of the Lin family, along with over two hundred people from Fuwei Escort Agency, escorted them all the way to the west gate of the main street.
"Please, stop here."
"Zhao, have a safe journey," said Lin Zhennan, as his family of three moved forward, bowing in farewell.
