Chapter 26 White Lies

During dinner, as usual, Nena cooked many delicious meals, but she seemed to notice that the atmosphere today seemed a little strange than before, and couldn't help but say funny: "Did I feel wrong? Why do I think something is wrong with Lin Feng and Lord Carl today?"

Old Carl subconsciously paused, frowned, but did not say much and continued to eat.

But Lin Feng's heart burst, and with a "bang", the knife and fork in his hand fell to the ground.

"My child, what's wrong with you?"

Nena picked up the knife and fork on the ground and rinsed it quickly before handing it to Lin Feng again, but she obviously saw the strangeness on Lin Feng's face and couldn't help but say suspiciously: "You...had happened to you today?"

"Oh, yes, mother, I have something I have to tell you."

Lin Feng took a deep breath and decided to express his thoughts of going out. He had been fighting for an afternoon of ideological struggle, but he didn't know where to start. But before he could speak, Old Carl put down his knife and fork and continued to speak for Lin Feng. However, what he said surprised Lin Feng!

"That's right, Ms. Nena, when you went to buy food this afternoon, I received a letter from the Magic Union about inviting the little guy to the union to practice."

Old Carl took a breath and said it very smoothly: "Just half a year ago, I wrote a letter of recommendation to the Magic Union, which truthfully explained the little guy's talent. Look, in only half a year, the Magic Union replied to me and asked the little guy to arrive at the Magic Union as soon as possible. The union president decided to train Lin Feng, the little guy himself. In the afternoon, I told the little guy to let him set off tomorrow morning. Haha, it seems that the little guy is too nervous. When facing you, he is so nervous that he can't speak!"

"Ah! Really, Lord Carl, this is simply great news. Lin Feng went to the Magic Union and could get the personal guidance of the Chairman. This is the opportunity that many people dream of!"

Nena seemed particularly excited. She hugged Lin Feng who was stunned on the spot and kissed him fiercely: "Lin Feng, why don't you tell me such good news!"

"Uh, hehe, because I'm going to separate from my mother tomorrow."

Lin Feng smiled unnaturally. He vaguely understood why Old Carl told this lie for him, but he could only follow Old Carl's words.

"Okay, my child, separation is only temporary. I believe that even if you follow the Chairman to learn magic, you will have at least a few days of free time every year, right? Then you have to miss me and come back to see me!"

Nena happily patted Lin Feng's back, let go of him and said to Old Carl: "Sir Carl, today is really good news. I'll cook a few more dishes. We should celebrate Lin Feng, right?"

"certainly."

Old Carl smiled, and when Nena happily walked away, he put away his smile.

Lin Feng sighed at this time: "My teacher, why did you tell me this lie again? You agreed with my thoughts before, and I am already very grateful."

"Little guy, it's not because of the noon..." Old Carl looked at Lin Feng calmly: "The reason I lie for you is because... I don't want to see a beautiful and kind mother sad."

Old Carl said casually, then picked up the knife and fork again and brought the food from the plate into his mouth.

Lin Feng looked at Old Carl deeply, remained silent for a moment, and said in the most respectful tone after he came to this world: "Thank you... Thank you, my teacher, you are such a good person. I think my mother will need your care for a long time in the future."

"Hmph, if you still remember me in the future, then take the time to come back and have a look."

Old Carl snorted disdainfully and put another piece of food into his mouth.

"Of course."

Lin Feng looked at Old Carl's appearance, and suddenly a warm current rose in his heart inexplicably. He sighed, and then said as if he was self-deprecating: "Why don't I have a father like you?"

After saying this, Lin Feng smiled mockingly, shook his head, and waved the knife and fork in his hand.

But he didn't see that when he said the last sentence, a trace of undetectable haze appeared on Old Carl's face.

...

...

At night, the three of them returned to their rooms, while Lin Feng was lying on the bed and tossing and turning. This was the first time he had gone far away after coming to this world, and it was also the first time he left his mother.

Although Lin Feng is actually an adult, it is the first time he has experienced selfless maternal love. While greedy for this feeling, he also thinks of the separation that will come tomorrow, and he can't help but feel irritated!

Nena also has the same feeling as Lin Feng. She is also tossing and turning to sleep now. When her child is about to be separated from her, she couldn't help feeling sad. However, when Lin Feng can learn from the President of the Magic Union in the future, she feels proud again. However, she doesn't know that this is just a beautiful and kind lie woven by Old Carl using her trust in him.

...

...

When the sun poked its head again and the birds were flying happily in the woods in the early morning, Old Carl had already come to Lin Feng's room with his magic wand.

"Dongdong~"

"Little guy, it's time for you to go--"

Lin Feng opened his heavy eyelids and felt his head drowsy. He had no idea when he fell asleep last night. It seemed that he had a nightmare and dreamed that he had returned to his previous life... However, when he heard Old Carl's voice, he straightened up and rubbed his eyes hard.

When Lin Feng finished washing and pushed the door and walked out, Old Carl was already standing side by side with Nena and looked at him with a faint smile.

Early this morning, Old Carl changed into a clean white magic robe, and even the beard on his chin was tidy. His embarrassing and weak appearance yesterday suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, he was holding his hands on his wand and smilingly faced him. Nena beside him also changed into a neat set of clothes, but her scarlet eyes showed that this beautiful mother had experienced insomnia all night.

"Okay, little guy, you should go to the magic branch in the town to evaluate your magic level now, then get your salary this month, rent a carriage, bring enough food and water to get on the road."

Old Carl seemed extremely nagging today: "I don't need to tell you the way to the town. I brought you back from there. Oh, by the way, the journey from the town to the imperial capital will take about ten days. You must be well prepared for food and water. There is no place for you to replenish food and water along the way."

"Thank you, my teacher, I understand."

Lin Feng sorted out his clothes and walked to Nena: "Mother, I'm leaving now."

Nena smiled and looked particularly beautiful: "Go, when you are successful in your cultivation, don't forget your teacher."

"It must not."

After taking a deep look at Nena and Old Carl again, Lin Feng raised his footsteps and walked slowly towards the town. He did not dare to look back because he was afraid that when he turned around, he would not be able to help but give up the idea of ​​going to Paul Academy when he saw Nena and Old Carl smiling at him, and the three wooden houses...

Looking at Lin Feng's little back gradually fading away, two lines of hot tears finally flowed out of Nena's eyes.

Old Carl seemed to remember something, sighed and murmured: "The wings are hard, no matter how big the cage is, it can't be locked..."
