"Young man! We have all wronged you, we're sorry!" The elder generation of villagers took the initiative to apologize and were deeply ashamed.
Now, recalling their recent behavior, they realized how foolish it had been.
To distrust a good man who settled the dispute with the Zheng family, yet to trust a "Mountain God" whose intentions and appearance were unknown, was truly ignorant and ridiculous.
"It's okay! As long as everyone can clearly see the true face of the Demon Mountain God, Lin is willing to endure any amount of hardship and grievance!" Lin Yifan responded.
"Old Lin, you've raised a good son! He is the savior of our thoughts in Qingshi Town, awakening our ignorant minds—truly remarkable!" The elders couldn't help but praise him aloud.
"Hehe!" Lin's father and mother smiled happily, feeling great honor.
