Chapter 49: I won't go, how could I know?

  Just as all the Lin family members were running in a state of extreme panic to an open area, escaping that terrifying disaster.

  The earth all around was in a state of constant vibration, but then suddenly it stopped and dissipated.

  The earth, houses, and flowers all returned to their tranquil state, as if nothing had ever happened, and everything fell silent in an instant.

  It also made most people who were originally a bit disorganized suddenly stand up straight again.

  Even so, many people who had just run to the wide lawn still had obvious panic on their faces. Dozens of people gathered around Lin Yan and Lin Zhong in the center of the lawn, staring blankly to the left and right one after another.

  Before it's certain whether there will be any aftershocks or not, probably no one dares to return home easily.

  "My goodness! How could there be a sudden earthquake? There wasn't even any warning!"

  "Yes, even if we didn't expect an earthquake, generally before an earthquake, some animals will sense it in advance, but just now, it came suddenly..."

  "Fortunately, this earthquake was not big, just making people slightly shake, at most it's 4 or 5 magnitude."

  "It's too scary, I don't know if there's still more..."

  ……

  After a moment, the crowd gathered on the lawn, after barely regaining their composure, immediately began talking to each other with a mix of relief and trepidation.

  As everyone was talking, Lin Zhongzhi, who had just regained his composure, suddenly looked startled and asked Lin Yan, "What about Mr. Xu?"

  Yes, just now I suddenly felt the earthquake and the two of us rushed to the center of the lawn. When we arrived, the earthquake had already stopped. But throughout the whole process, Xuyu was studying the Treading Void Decision, why didn't he come out?

  "Never mind, the earthquake has already ended. You should check whether it was an earthquake within our province of Huaijiang or from another region that affected Linzhou. With his abilities, even if a house had collapsed, he would have been absolutely fine." Lin Yan was also startled, but immediately shook his head afterwards.

  "Alright." Lin Zhongzhi immediately nodded and took out his phone to start dialing.

  Just then, a black sedan suddenly drove out from the road in the courtyard and stopped quickly at the edge of the lawn. A figure hastily got out of the car and walked towards the crowd with a look of surprise on his face, "Zhong Zhi, what's wrong? What's going on?"

  This figure was Lin Zhongze, and at this time, Lin Zhongze's heart was also extremely surprised. How did everyone in the family gather on the lawn when he came back this time? One by one, there were many people, with panic and horror on their faces.

  This kind of thing has almost never happened in the Lin family before!

  What's going on?

  As he walked, men and women, young and old, gave way to this powerful figure in the family, clearing a path for him.

  As soon as Lin Zhongze finished speaking, Lin Zhongzhi, who was on the phone, paused slightly and then looked at Lin Zhongze with a hint of curiosity, "I'm just going to check, see where the earthquake is?"

  Not just Lin Zhongzhi, everyone else is also looking at Lin Zhongzhi with a strange gaze. What he asked was also too out of line, right? Just after the earthquake, people in the family are not gathered outside, where would they gather?

  As he looked around, Lin felt dizzy. Why did his relatives look at him with such strange eyes, as if he had asked something absurd and ridiculous? But the problem was that he really didn't know what had happened!

  "Big brother, wasn't there an earthquake just now? Fortunately, the magnitude was not too big, so we didn't suffer any losses. I was just about to ask where the earthquake occurred...". Seeing Lin Zhongze's depression, Lin Zhongzhi immediately spoke up, and also forgot about the connected phone.

  But one sentence from him made Lin Zhong suddenly stunned, earthquake? How is this possible? He had just returned from outside, and the streets were calm everywhere.

  "Earthquake? No way, how come I didn't know..."

  In extreme shock, Lin Zhong's mind suddenly flashed a glimpse of inspiration. If it was a slight earthquake, ordinary people would not be able to feel it at all, but in the Lin family, there were many strong people who could sense earthquakes that ordinary people couldn't detect, which was also normal.

  "You don't know?" His words directly stunned everyone on the lawn, including Lin Zhong and others. The earthquake earlier, at first, ordinary people didn't notice anything was wrong, but later, houses and trees started to sway slightly, ordinary people on the ground had to struggle to stand firm, such an obvious tremor, how could he possibly not know?

  "Impossible, Uncle! Just now I was shaken so badly that I could hardly stand..."

  "Yes, just now the house was shaking slightly..."

  …………

  In a state of shock, among the Lin family members, there were several ordinary people who had not practiced martial arts, and they also spoke out, looking at Lin Zhongze with even more incredulity.

  These words, however, directly made Lin Zhongze, who had just come to his senses, confused again. What? The earthquake earlier was that strong? If it was to the point where houses were shaking lightly, then even if he was an ordinary person, he would have definitely felt something. But the problem was, he really didn't feel anything at all!

  When they saw Lin Zhongze, he was standing still again, with an unbelievable expression on his face. Even if it were other disciples, it would be the same. Lin Zhongze and Lin Yan were also completely stunned.

  Is it an earthquake?

  In the midst of silence, a strange voice suddenly came from the phone that had just been connected in the woods, "Director Lin, there was no earthquake earlier, I'm on the 17th floor at work and didn't feel anything..."

  Although the voice was small, it couldn't deceive the strong cultivators. In an instant, Lin Zhong's expression changed again, and he hastily grabbed his phone and said "I know" before hanging up. He then quickly dialed another number.

  The second one is the same.

  Thirdly, there was no earthquake!

  It wasn't until the fourth time, when they got the same answer again, that everyone in the Lin family was stunned. How could there really be no earthquake? But just now, they had truly felt it?!

  Just as they fell silent again on the lawn, Lin Zhongyi and Lin Yan, who had been distracted all along, suddenly exchanged a glance, and then stared straight ahead at a standalone villa as if they had seen a ghost.

  Just now, it was definitely not an illusion, but such a vibration occurred only within the Lin family mansion? And at that time, they also clearly felt that except for a hint of spiritual energy surging, there was someone in the villa who was studying the Treading Void Decision...

  All of this, added up, and Lin Yan and his son had no choice but to get a definite answer, even if the answer made them not dare to believe it. The fact was right in front of them, and there was nothing they could do about it.

  "Hiss~"

  "Good grief!!!"

  ……

  In a state of shock and horror, Lin Yan and Lin Zhong both hastily sucked in a mouthful of cold air, almost fainting from the discovery.
