After praising Lin Yun, Murong Tuohai directly asked Lin Yun, "I heard that little brother was expelled by the Yuzhou Martial House some time ago. May I ask if this is true?"
"Yes." Lin Yun expressionlessly nodded his head.
Murong Tuohai's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, then he indignantly said, "Little brother's talent is astonishing, and your abilities are heaven-defying. You are a heaven-defying genius of the Southern Summer King Country."
"Not only did the Yuzhou Martial House not nurture you, they even expelled you. They are truly a group of blind fellows!"
After settling the injustice for Lin Yun, Murong Tuohai seriously invited Lin Yun, "If little brother doesn't mind, there is no harm in becoming a guest of our Murong Clan."
Murong Tuohai's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, causing a huge uproar in the crowd.
Everyone stared at Murong Tuohai with their mouths agape, and they didn't know what to say.
The Murong Clan's Patriarch, one of the Kingdom's Four Great Clans, had personally invited Lin Yun to become a guest of the Murong Clan. This was simply too inconceivable!
Without waiting for everyone to recover from their shock, Murong Tuohai continued, "If little brother joins our Murong Clan, our Clan will use all of our strength to nurture you. My family will do our best to nurture you and let you take up the position of an elder! "
Murong Tuohai's words were like a sudden clap of thunder that exploded in everyone's minds.
Everyone began to doubt whether or not they had heard wrong.
The Murong Clan was one of the Kingdom's Four Great Clans.
To receive the full support of such a clan, what kind of heaven-defying opportunity was this?
To be able to become an elder of such a clan, what kind of glorious matter was this?
Even becoming a core disciple of the Yuzhou Martial House couldn't compare to this kind of glory!
Everyone couldn't understand why Murong Tuohai would attach such importance to a youth from another clan!
So what if this youth had awakened a Heaven ranked martial spirit?
From the point of view of any clan, they would rather spend the clan's resources on disappointing clansmen than go all out to nurture geniuses from other clans.
Therefore, everyone could not understand why Murong Tuohai would do this.
Seeing Murong Tuohai blatantly poaching Lin Yun, the corners of Ren Tanqian's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
It was an indisputable fact that Lin Yun had been expelled from the Yuzhou Martial House. Even if Murong Tuohai poached Lin Yun, the Nangong family would have nothing to say.
Although Lin Yun had promised to return to the Martial House, he hadn't officially returned yet. What he said just now was just a verbal promise without any proof.
Therefore, Ren Tanqian could only look at Lin Yun nervously, afraid that this prodigy would agree to Murong Tuohai's offer.
However, Lin Yun stood calmly on the spot and said expressionlessly, "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I've already promised Sect Leader Ren that I will return to the Yuzhou Martial House, so I can't accept your kind offer."
Lin Yun's words were like thunder that exploded in everyone's mind.
Everyone was petrified and looked at Lin Yun as if their worldview had been shattered.
Rejected.
This guy actually rejected Grand Secretary Murong Tuohai's invitation!
He refused such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Rejected such an opportunity to bring glory to his ancestors!
This was insane!
Even Ren Tanqian did not expect that Lin Yun would choose to reject Murong Tuohai.
After all, Murong Tuohai's offer was too tempting. If it was Ren Tanqian, he would definitely agree, but Lin Yun rejected.
Furthermore, he rejected so decisively and without hesitation!
And the reason why Lin Yun rejected was because he had promised Ren Tanqian that he would return to the Martial House!
From this, it could be seen that Lin Yun was definitely a man of his word and righteousness.
In reality, the reason why Lin Yun rejected Murong Tuohai, other than his promise to Ren Tanqian, was because of the Nangong family.
The Nangong family was the head of the Southern Summer King's Four Great Families. They were the strongest family in the Southern Summer King and had control over the entire kingdom.
If Lin Yun wanted to obtain the Southern Summer King's Infant Soul Grass, he had to enter the Nangong family and be valued by the Nangong family.
As for the Yuzhou Martial House, it was a branch of the Nangong family that was specially set up in Yuzhou City for the sake of selecting talented people.
Although staying in the Yuzhou Martial House would not be as good as joining the Murong family, he would have the opportunity to enter the Nangong family and be valued by the Nangong family.
But if Lin Yun left the Yuzhou Martial House and became an elder of the Murong family, he would no longer have the opportunity to be valued by the Nangong family.
It was because of this reason that Lin Yun did not agree to Murong Tuohai's offer.
Hearing Lin Yun's reply, Murong Tuohai was a bit disappointed.
He had originally thought that with his status, he would invite Lin Yun and promise Lin Yun such treatment.
However, he did not expect that not only would Lin Yun refuse, he would refuse so straightforwardly and without any hesitation.
However, he did not become angry because of this. Instead, he felt even more admiration and respect for Lin Yun.
"I understand now. Little brother, you really are an iron-blooded man who keeps his promises. I actually wanted to use benefits to recruit you. I am truly ashamed! "Murong Tuohai said with a face full of shame.
If Lin Yun really was a person who only cared about benefits, then even if the Murong family recruited him, he might not necessarily be of use to the Murong family. Instead, it might even lead a wolf into the house.
It was because of Lin Yun's character that Murong Tuohai admired and respected him even more.
"Lin Yun, are you really not going to reconsider?" Murong Xue was also very disappointed. It was obvious that she wanted Lin Yun to enter the Martial House.
"No." Lin Yun shook his head expressionlessly.
"Since little brother doesn't want to go against his conscience, then let's not force him." Murong Tuohai was very open-minded. He no longer held any thoughts of recruiting Lin Yun.
He cupped his hands towards Lin Yun, then said, "If little brother cannot enter my Murong family, then we can only blame our Murong family for not having this fortune.
"However, I admire and admire little brother's talent and character. Would little brother be willing to become sworn brothers with me?"
Hearing Murong Tuohai's words, everyone present couldn't help but hold their breath. They all looked at Lin Yun with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Not only was Murong Tuohai the current head of the Murong family, he was also a Grand Scholar of the Southern Summer King.
Grand Scholar was the highest title bestowed upon scholars by the Southern Summer King. In the Southern Summer King, this person's status was second only to the three sovereigns. It could be said that aside from the Southern Summer King and the three sovereigns, he was the official with the highest status.
To become sworn brothers with a Grand Scholar was a glorious thing for one's ancestors.
It was something that could be bragged about for a lifetime!
If it was anyone else who encountered this situation, they would be so excited that they would go crazy.
However, Lin Yun's expression was calm and collected. He replied in an extremely calm tone, "Sure."
