Rising Dragon City …
Once upon a time, this was just an ordinary little city. But, with the appearance of a genius disciple such as Lin Fan, he became famous overnight and shocked the entire world.
The Lin Family became the head of the Eight Great Families. This was not a suppression in terms of strength. It was a suppression in terms of reputation.
The other seven great families did not have any dissatisfaction. The fact that the Lin Family Head, Lin Haoming, did not care about the power struggles had the other seven great families shedding tears of gratitude.
The reason why they were willing to take the Lin Family as the head was naturally because there was a genius disciple of the Lin Family, the Young Master who had been taken in by the Heaven and Earth Sect. However, the fact that he had not returned for the past three years was something that had the other seven great families bewildered.
In fact, they even had a strange thought. Could it be that the Young Master of the Lin Family had been killed by someone outside?
Even though it was a heavenly blessing to be able to join a sect, a sect was not a place to play house. It was filled with endless dangers.
It was unknown how many disciples had died outside. It was impossible to count.
Even though the other seven great families had the same thought, they had buried it deep in their hearts. That was because, in the past few years, they had realized that this was a pretty decent feeling.
Furthermore, the eldest daughter of the Lin Family had left the sect outside. Under a series of coincidences, she had entered a female sect as well. This was something that had the Lin Family extremely excited. To have two geniuses emerge from a single family was simply heaven revolting!
Furthermore, the eldest daughter of the Lin Family, Lin Hanyu, would return frequently to bring some pills from the sect for the Lin Family. At the same time, she would distribute them to the other seven great families. This was a pretty decent feeling.
Crackle!
The Rising Dragon City was bustling with activity as fireworks filled the skies.
There were many people gathered at the entrance of the city.
Among them were people from the eight great families. Some of the rich and powerful people of the Rising Dragon City were present as well. The eldest daughter of the Lin Family had returned from the sect once more. And this time around, she seemed to have brought along some good news.
"Brother Lin, congratulations! To have two geniuses emerge from a single family! From this day forth, the Lin Family is going to soar into the Heavens!" The Family Head of the Huang Family, Huang Yan, congratulated while feeling a little envious in his heart.
Looking at his own son, Huang Yan's heart was filled with sorrow. He had been idling around all day long, and his strength had not improved at all. He hadn't even gotten himself a wife yet!
"Not at all, not at all!" Lin Haoming's mood right now was pretty decent. He had not expected that the Lin Family would rise up in his hands.
Lin Haoming suddenly realized that he was simply too powerful. Even his children were so powerful.
This was especially the case for this son of his, who had been taken in as a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect. However, the thing that had Lin Haoming displeased was the fact that this lad had gone out for three whole years without even sending a single piece of news back. That was truly worrisome.
If not for the fact that the journey to the Heaven and Earth Sect was way too far and filled with all sorts of dangers, he would have wanted to head over to the Heaven and Earth Sect to take a look. He wanted to see just what in the world this lad had done.
The surrounding civilians looked at Lin Haoming enviously.
"The Lin Family is so lucky to have two children enter the sect."
"That's right. In the past, the Lin Family was the weakest of the Eight Great Families. But now, they are at the top."
"Miss Lin would come back once a year, but Young Master Lin hasn't been heard from for three years."
"I heard rumors that Young Master Lin might have fallen outside the sect."
"You can't talk nonsense like that. It would be terrible if someone heard it."
"Hais! I don't want to spout nonsense as well! But, news of this matter has been spreading out since half a year ago! It seems like he had fallen in some secret ground! Even the people of the Heaven and Earth Sect do not know where Young Master Lin has gone to!"
"Shh, stop talking."
…
"Father, is that Big Sister?" At this moment, the little sister, Lin Lan 'er, pointed at a spot of light in the skies far in the distance and asked excitedly.
In the past three years, Lin Lan 'er had grown into a slender, elegant, and ravishing beauty.
The number of people who had come knocking on the doors of the Lin Family to propose marriage was so many that the doorsill of the Lin Family was about to break down. If this were in the past, Lin Haoming would naturally find a good in-law. But now that Lin Fan was different from everyone else, his goal was to groom his remaining two children well. If only they could enter the sect as well.
"That should be the case." Lin Haoming let out a smile.
The light was getting closer and closer.
At the entrance of the Rising Dragon City, a few figures descended from the void.
Lin Hanyu was naturally among them. Beside her were three women and a man.
Lin Haoming was elated, "Fire!"
Bam!
Bam!
The fireworks landed in the sky and created a beautiful scene.
Lin Haoming rushed forth, "Daughter, you're finally back!"
"Father, mother, sister!" Lin Hanyu's face let out a smile. Even though she only came back once a year, each time she did, Lin Hanyu would be extremely emotional. The feeling of meeting her kin was truly great.
The faces of the four people behind Lin Hanyu were the same as ever. Toward these mortals, they couldn't be bothered at all. In their hearts, they were nothing but ants.
It was just that this time around, they had followed Junior Sister Lin out to take a look at the world of mortals.
The sect that Lin Hanyu had entered was known as the Hundred Flower Palace. It wasn't one of the big sects, and could be considered as a middle sect.
Nine sects, six factions, et cetera, all of them were major sects that had a legacy of hundreds of thousands of years. As for this Hundred Flower Palace, it was a sect that had risen in the recent tens of thousands of years. Compared to the Heaven and Earth Sect, it was a world of difference.
"Father, these three are senior sisters of the sect. They have taken good care of me in the sect." Lin Hanyu said. She then pointed to the man beside her, "This is the son of the Grandmaster of the Metal Sword Sect."
The moment Lin Haoming heard this, he became even more polite, "Welcome, welcome!"
How could he know what sort of sect the Metal Sword Sect was? But, the moment he heard that it was the son of the Grandmaster, his identity was naturally incredible.
The son of the Grandmaster of a sect! That was a super second generation! It wasn't something that a mere mortal family like theirs could compare with!
Ning Tiekun nodded his head expressionlessly. In fact, he did not even say a single word of courtesy.
"Big Sister!" Lin Feixue and Lin Lan 'er leaped over and hugged their big sister.
They had been separated for a long time now. Naturally, they missed each other a lot.
When the son of the Grandmaster of the Metal Sword Sect caught sight of Lin Lan 'er, his eyes flashed with a glint before he hid it away.
"Junior sister, let's head over to your house for a seat first." Lin Hanyu's senior sister spoke up.
"Alright." Lin Hanyu nodded her head.
At this moment, Lin Haoming spoke up, "Hanyu, the other uncles of the seven great families have already made preparations to welcome you guys back. How about having a meal first?"
At this moment, the Family Heads of the seven great families were filled with anticipation. But, a single sentence from the other party had them feeling a little awkward.
One of the senior sisters with a skinny face and protruding cheekbones spoke up, "There's nothing good about the food of the mortal world. Let's head back to your Lin Family to take a look first."
The moment Lin Hanyu heard this, she nodded her head awkwardly, "Father, forget it."
Even though Lin Haoming was a little unhappy in his heart, he still chuckled out, "Alright, alright. Let's head home then."
"That's right, daughter. Do you have any good news for your father and mother?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Father, I've already become an Outer Sect disciple of the sect!" Lin Hanyu replied excitedly.
"Good, good! Outer Sect disciple, eh? Not bad! You'll be able to catch up to your younger brother very soon." Lin Haoming chuckled out.
"Father, has my younger brother not returned yet?" Lin Hanyu asked. She had been worried about him the entire time.
"No." Lin Haoming shook his head.
At this moment, Ning Tiekun spoke up, "Hanyu, your younger brother has been taken in as a disciple of the Heaven and Earth Sect. However, those sects aren't safe at all. The secret grounds are extremely treacherous, and the death rate is extremely high."
The words of Ning Tiekun caused the atmosphere of the entire place to turn awkward.
Lin Haoming's heart was burning with a ball of rage as well. Was this fella trying to say that his son was dead?
But, after considering the identity of the other party, Lin Haoming let out a smile.
"Let's head back first."
