Chu Yun City, Lin family.
After sending away the Lin family's higher-ups, Lin Suyi sat in the main hall in a daze. She looked a little lost.
She suddenly didn't know what she wanted.
In terms of status, the Lin family was only below the Yang family in the Chu Yun Nation.
After the Yang family left, the Lin family was the number one family in the Chu Yun Nation. As the head of the Lin family, she naturally didn't want to be second in the entire Chu Yun Nation.
In terms of wealth, the Lin family's current wealth was comparable to that of a nation.
It could be said that she had reached the peak of her life.
However, when she escaped death and was held in Yang Xuan's arms, she suddenly felt a little lost.
Could it be that all these were what she really wanted?
The sky gradually darkened. Looking at the gradually appearing starry sky outside the window, Yang Xuan's figure inexplicably appeared in front of her eyes.
"You seem to have something on your mind!" Yang Xuan smiled and landed from the sky.
Lin Suyi was stunned. Only then did she realize that she wasn't hallucinating. Yang Xuan really appeared in front of her.
"I thought you wouldn't come to the Lin family." She was slightly happy when she reacted.
"Why wouldn't I come?" Yang Xuan asked curiously. Then, he pushed open the door and walked in.
Lin Suyi smiled but said softly, "It's nothing."
Then, she changed the topic. "How are the zombies?"
"They're destroyed!" Yang Xuan said indifferently. He didn't want to say too much.
Today, the world he lived in had long exceeded Lin Suyi's imagination.
Phew ~
Lin Suyi heaved a sigh of relief. Hearing that the zombies were destroyed, she also heaved a sigh of relief.
Yang Xuan looked at Lin Suyi.
At this moment, Lin Suyi's previous naivety had faded away. Instead, she had a kind of grace, which made her look especially elegant. Coupled with her exquisite face, she was even more beautiful.
They clearly had the same face, but for some reason, Yang Xuan suddenly felt that she didn't look like Xiao Jing.
Shaking his head, Yang Xuan threw away the strange thoughts in his mind and asked, "Why did you resign as the head of the family?"
When he entered the Lin Mansion just now, he heard a few elders discussing it.
Lin Suyi was slightly stunned. Then, a smile appeared on her face. "You know?"
Nodding his head, Yang Xuan said in an indifferent tone, "I heard some people discussing it just now."
After filling Yang Xuan's teacup, she watched him take a sip. Then, she said, "Maybe it's because I'm no longer fit to be the head of the Lin family."
Yang Xuan was noncommittal as he said, "Oh? Why do you think so? "
Lin Suyi sighed. "The Lin family is where it is now. It's not because of the Lin family, nor is it because of me. It's all because of you."
Yang Xuan took another sip of tea and didn't say anything.
In reality, Lin Suyi wasn't wrong. The Lin family was where it was today because of Yuan Cheng and Luo Xiuran's support for Yang Xuan.
If it weren't for Yang Xuan, the Lin family, which didn't have high-end martial strength, would have been eaten alive long ago.
Even Lin Suyi's position as the head of the family was stable because of Yang Xuan's existence.
"Do you know?"
Lin Suyi said softly. "Just now, when I proposed to resign as the head of the family, the higher-ups of the Lin family stood on the same front for the first time and objected in unison."
She looked at Yang Xuan and said bitterly, "But I know that it's not that they can't bear to part with me, but that they're afraid of losing your support."
As she said this, a bitter smile appeared on her face. "Everyone thinks that I'm your woman."
Yang Xuan smiled slightly but still didn't say anything.
A trace of disappointment appeared in Lin Suyi's eyes.
Then she took a deep breath and raised her voice. "I've thought it through. If the Lin family wants to become a thousand-year-old family, we can't rely on you alone. So, I want to resign as the head of the family."
Yang Xuan nodded and asked, "What are your plans?"
"I plan to pass the position of head of the family to Zhu Ying," Lin Suyi said.
"I'm asking you what your plans are?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Last year, a female master from the Northern Frontier came here and said that I had the talent for cultivation and wanted to take me as a disciple. However, I didn't agree at that time."
"The Northern Frontier?" Yang Xuan was a little puzzled.
Lin Suyi nodded and continued, "But when that master left, she said that if I changed my mind, I should go and find her. She also left a way to contact me."
"So, you want to cultivate martial arts?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Yes!" Lin Suyi nodded vigorously. Then she looked at Yang Xuan, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. "I want to see what your world is like!"
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Since you've made up your mind, I'll give you a gift."
With that, his spirit energy entered Lin Suyi's body and began to transform her meridians.
Feeling the changes in her body, Lin Suyi was stunned at first, but then her eyes softened.
"Thank you!" She said softly, her voice as gentle as water.
In the next few days, the news that Lin Suyi resigned as the head of the family and passed the position to Lin Zhuyi spread throughout Luoyun City.
While everyone was guessing the meaning behind it, Yang Xuan had already left the Yun Country.
He didn't want to be involved in the Lin family's affairs anymore.
In short, his relationship with the Lin family was originally tied to Lin Suyi. Now that Lin Suyi was going to the Northern Frontier, he had nothing to do with the Lin family anymore.
With Yang Xuan's current speed, he turned into a stream of light and traveled thousands of miles.
When Yang Xuan returned to the Zhong family in the Ri Nation, he found Yu Jiu waiting for him.
"What's the matter?" Yang Xuan appeared in front of Yu Jiu and asked.
"Your Highness, you're finally back."
Yu Jiu seemed to be relieved, but then she said seriously, "Your Highness, the spies found a place the day before yesterday. It's a mass grave, not far from where the two Divine Envoys went missing."
"What's so special about it?" Yang Xuan asked.
He knew that Yu Jiu wouldn't report to him unless it was a special situation.
"The corpses in the mass grave have all been dug up and stolen. Roughly, there are more than a hundred corpses," Yu Jiu replied.
"Oh? These corpses were probably not found at the same time. Some of them have probably turned into bones. Were they stolen too? "Yang Xuan frowned.
"The bones are still there. The corpses that were stolen were those that hadn't completely decomposed," Yu Jiu replied.
Yang Xuan nodded and asked, "What else?"
Yu Jiu's expression became serious. She replied, "The missing Divine Envoy's clothes were found in the mass grave."
"Hmm?" Yang Xuan was slightly shocked.
The cloth used in the Sacred Mountain's clothes came from the Artifact Hall. It was very different from ordinary cloth, and it was very easy to identify. Moreover, the clothes of the Sacred Mountain disciples in every sequence had different dark patterns. These were all recorded in the records, so Yu Jiu was very sure that it was the clothes of the missing Saint.
"Why didn't you find it before?" Yang Xuan asked.
"There was nothing strange in the mass grave before," Yu Jiu replied.
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes. "That means this happened recently, and it was right under your noses."
Yu Jiu lowered her head. "Yes."
Yang Xuan looked at Yu Jiu and asked, "What about the others?"
"Your Highness, the three of them are all guarding there."
"Let's go and take a look!" Yang Xuan waved his hand and said.
"Yes!"
