"It's just physical pain …" The managing elder gave Shen Tu Nantian a deep look. "Nantian … your drive is too strong. Today's setback might not be a bad thing for you."
The presiding elder could only comfort him in such a manner. Shen Tu Nantian clenched his fists, his nails nearly piercing his flesh to the point of bleeding. However, he could only say, "Nantian understands."
He had no way of telling the chief elder about his experience in the dungeon. If it were to spread, it would only make him more embarrassed, and there would be no benefit.
Furthermore, some of the people in the clan who were eyeing his position covetously would understand that his meridians were damaged and that his future achievements would be affected. As a result, their ambitions would also swell.
This aggrieved feeling made Shen Tu Nantian's intestines twist together. It was truly unspeakable!
"You have seen it. It's news about the Great Empress mystic realm!"
Matriarch Lin said coldly. At the same time, an elder beside her took out a soul contract.
This soul contract had even more complicated runes engraved on it, and its quality was even higher. It was used to bind the Shen Tu family clan, so as to ensure that the jade scroll the Shen Tu family clan took out was real.
It also restricted the Lin family, ensuring that Shen Tu Nantian and the Thousand Hand Granny's lives were not in danger.
The Shen Tu family clan's managing elder coldly grunted. He used a dagger to cut his finger, and with a flick of his blood, it shot onto the soul contract like an arrow.
"Here you go."
Following that, a jade scroll flew out of the chief elder's hand. This jade scroll flew even faster, as if it was a white lightning bolt. It contained the Shen Tu family clan's chief elder's surging Yuan Qi. As it flew, it emitted a strong explosive sound. Its power was astonishing!
No one doubted that this jade scroll alone could threaten the lives of ordinary sages!
This was a battle between the upper echelons of the Shen Tu family clan and the Lin family. Even if it was a negotiation, it would still be tense!
Matriarch Lin stretched out her hand and grabbed at the air. A soft white light wrapped around her hand and she easily took the jade slip into her hand.
After confirming the contents of the jade slip, Matriarch Lin nodded. She looked at the soul contract again. The soul contract had already begun to burn, quickly turning into a ball of fire. Within it, she could faintly see a blood-colored ghost head being burned away by the fire, slowly dying.
Once the contract was completed, the soul contract would be broken, and the ghost head would be destroyed, and the curse would naturally be lifted.
This proved that there was no problem with the contents of the jade slip.
Since the negotiation was over, Matriarch Lin said bluntly, "Send the guests out!"
She did not want the people from the Shen Tu family clan to stay in her Lin family for another second.
"Karma has its retribution. Today, you have taken advantage of my Shen Tu family clan. In the future, my Shen Tu family clan will seek revenge!"
With that, the Grand Elder turned and walked toward the airship.
Behind him, many members of the Shentu family began to leave. Above the clouds, the enormous pressure that covered the sky and covered the earth also began to slowly dissipate.
And just as the pressure was about to disappear, Yi Yun, who had been standing beside Matriarch Lin, suddenly felt a fatal chill sweep through his heart.
That huge murderous aura swept over him in that instant!
"En!"
Yi Yun's face turned pale as he held his breath.
He clearly sensed that there seemed to be a pair of emotionless and cold eyes staring deeply at him from the dark clouds in the distance.
It was this one glance that caused his limbs to go cold!
Shen Tu Patriarch!
This Shepherd Boy, who could not be defeated by the Primordial Sacred Hou even when he was at his peak, had now specially glanced at him!
What sort of gaze was that? It was so piercing. It was as if he had returned to his mortal days, standing naked in a world of ice and snow.
That biting chill and the feeling of being defenseless made him flustered!
"Yi Yun!"
Matriarch Lin, who had been guarding Yi Yun, reached out her hand at lightning speed and pressed it against Yi Yun's back.
A warm Yuan Qi flowed into Yi Yun's body. Immediately, Yi Yun's complexion turned a lot better.
"Are you alright?" Matriarch Lin asked with concern.
"I'm fine … Thank you, Matriarch." Yi Yun shook his head. Just a glance from Shen Tu Patriarch was enough to make his forehead break out in a thin layer of sweat. Even his spiritual sea began to feel a stabbing pain due to the high tension.
Is this the strength of a top mighty figure in the Tian Yuan world …
"That old monster! To actually treat a junior in such a manner. "
Matriarch Lin looked hatefully at the dissipating dark clouds in the distance.
Shen Tu Patriarch's final gaze contained Shen Tu Patriarch's will. Although it was impossible for him to kill Yi Yun here, this gaze was a warning for him to kill.
For Shen Tu Patriarch to act in such a manner, it was obvious that Shen Tu Patriarch was truly enraged over this matter!
The Lin family and the Shen Tu family clan were both large family clans in the Tian Yuan world. If the two sides were to fight without any regard for anything, it would definitely result in an internecine outcome. No one wanted to see that happen.
Under such circumstances, Shen Tu Patriarch could only bear with it.
Shen Tu Patriarch had no choice but to take a step back, but to make a person like him take a step back, it was a huge price to pay!
"Yi Yun, you have to be careful. By offending the Shen Tu family clan, you have to be careful when you walk around the Tian Yuan world in the future. However, as long as you are in the Lin family, you will be absolutely safe. My Lin family will protect you."
Matriarch Lin said to Yi Yun.
At this moment, many of the Lin family's Elders had already left with their disciples. There were only a few people left beside Matriarch Lin, including Yi Yun and Lin Xintong.
Yi Yun said sincerely, "Thank you, Matriarch."
"It's only right. The main reason why you offended the Shen Tu family clan is because of my Lin family. If not for you, I would have nearly fallen for their trap. That Great Empress relic can turn the Red-eyed Wolf into bones, so it should have a side effect of damaging one's lifespan. If I had agreed to the Shen Tu family clan, then I would have harmed Xintong and the Lin family. Yi Yun, you can be said to be my Lin family's benefactor! "
Originally, this marriage alliance would have been beneficial to both the Lin family and the Shen Tu family clan. However, due to the problem with the relic, only the Shen Tu family clan would benefit greatly. As for the Lin family, they had foolishly boarded the pirate ship. They had even lost their family clan's heir, so their future fate was obvious.
"Matriarch, you speak too seriously. This junior does not deserve it." Yi Yun cupped his fists and said respectfully.
The Matriarch smiled. She was very satisfied with Yi Yun's attitude of not being arrogant despite having done a meritorious deed.
"Yi Yun, I heard that you have never been betrothed. If you are interested, you can choose a girl in the Lin family that you like …" When the Matriarch said this, Yi Yun was somewhat speechless. He awkwardly touched his cheeks and said, "This junior is still young, so there's no rush …"
Clearly, the Matriarch still wanted Yi Yun to take root in the Lin family.
Not far away, Lin Xintong's grandaunt felt upset when she heard this, "Matriarch, why are you …"
She was anxious about the matter between Yi Yun and the Desolate race. The Matriarch actually wanted a person with an unknown identity and impure motives to stay in the Lin family? Then wouldn't all her previous words have been for nothing!?
"Oh?"
The Matriarch frowned and stared at Lin Fenggu.
Lin Fenggu immediately stopped speaking. Although she hated Yi Yun, she did not dare to go against the Matriarch's wishes.
The Matriarch turned towards Yi Yun and changed to a pleasant smile, "He's not young anymore. There are many mortals who get married at fifteen. For us warriors, although we get married later, it's still possible to get engaged early."
"And on the path of martial arts, there are some cultivation techniques that allow one to progress faster through dual cultivation. My Lin family also has such cultivation techniques. You can choose any of them, and you can also choose your Dao partner based on your wishes. As long as you choose one, I will personally matchmake you."
There were not many people around, so the Matriarch did not hold back when she said these words. It made Lin Xintong, who was beside her, blush slightly. She was inexperienced, so when she suddenly heard the Matriarch discuss such a problem without any concealment, she did not know how to respond.
"The Matriarch is really interested in Yi Yun's marriage …" Lin Xintong muttered to herself. With the Matriarch personally acting as a matchmaker, even a genius junior in the family might not be able to enjoy such treatment.
Besides, was there any reason for the marriage that the Matriarch mentioned not to happen?
Besides, in the family, there was no girl who did not like Yi Yun …
Upon thinking of this, Lin Xintong secretly glanced at Yi Yun. Now, Yi Yun had grown into a bright youth. He no longer had the childishness on his face. Instead, he had a wise and reserved aura.
Together with his outstanding talent and bright future, which girl would not be tempted?
Thinking back to the celebration banquet a month ago, the young girls who surrounded Yi Yun were like orioles and swallows, it was a pretty sight. These girls were clearly not only instructed by their elders to come into contact with Yi Yun, but they also wanted to be close to Yi Yun.
Upon thinking of this, a faint smile suffused on Lin Xintong's lips. Back when she met Yi Yun in the Cloud Wilderness, how could she have known that he would become such an admirable youth?
"Yi Yun, think it over. In the future, if you are interested, you can come to the Lin family's Sutra Depository to take a look and choose a cultivation technique you want."
The people sent by the Matriarch from the Family Rules Hall had already investigated everything that had happened to Yi Yun in the Chu royal residence a few months ago at the fastest speed possible.
After Matriarch Lin heard the description, she was certain that Yi Yun had risked his life to stop Shen Tu Nantian because of his friendship with his sister.
This matter not only did not lower Matriarch Lin's impression of Yi Yun, it instead made Matriarch Lin feel that Yi Yun was a person who valued friendship. Such a person was more trustworthy.
On the contrary, if he did not care about his sister's life and put on a righteous and sanctimonious look, this kind of person needed to be wary of.
This was because they might do anything to achieve their goals.
