Tears streamed down Lin Zongping's face as he let out a long sigh. It was as if he had spat out all the pent-up frustrations in his heart for the past six hundred years.
"Ancestor! You're saying that our Lin family has a god-level talent descendant? "Lin Guanqing cried out in surprise.
Lin Zongping said in a low voice, "That's right! This person is Lin Xuan! No matter if he's from the main branch or a side branch, I'll take him as my disciple and nurture him with all my might! I'll make him the pillar of our Lin family! "
Lin Guanqing couldn't help but get excited when he heard that. He clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked!
God-level talent!
In this world, martial artists had different levels of talent: Mortal, King, Emperor, Spirit, and God-level.
In all these years, the Lin family hadn't even produced a single King talent. As a result, they gradually declined and became weaker with each generation.
Even the most outstanding disciple in the family, Lin Tieying, was only at the peak of the Mortal level. He was only a fourth-grade general in the imperial court.
But today, the Lin family actually produced a god-level talent. If he was nurtured, the Lin family would definitely soar to the sky!
Just thinking about it made one excited!
After a short 15 minutes, the old steward returned.
However, the old steward's expression was a little ugly.
"Lin Zhong, where is he? Did you bring him back? "Lin Zongping asked impatiently.
Lin Zhong said with a troubled expression, "Ancestor, I've already checked the entire Lin family. There are a total of 503 males, but … but there's no one called Lin Xuan."
"Bastard!"
Lin Zongping said angrily, "This ancestral tablet can't be wrong! Did you check all the side branches? Did you miss out on any illegitimate children? "
"I've checked, Ancestor. I've checked everything in the imperial capital. There's really no one called Lin Xuan. Why don't I check again?" The old steward said as he wiped his cold sweat.
"You!"
Lin Zongping was so angry that his face turned red. He wanted to slap Lin Zhong to death.
At this moment, Lin Guanqing's eyes flashed. He said, "Ancestor, you just said that the Talent Tablet can only cover this city?"
"That's right," Lin Zongping said angrily.
Lin Guanqing said, "Then could it be that some distant side branches suddenly entered the city today and caused the Talent Tablet's strange phenomenon?"
"Hmm? It's not impossible, "Lin Zongping muttered.
Lin Guanqing said, "Ancestor, if that's really the case, then this Lin Xuan definitely isn't a nobody! Think about it, a person with god-tier talent, no matter what, it's impossible to bury him! "
Lin Zongping frowned. "Guan Qing, what are you trying to say?"
Lin Guanqing pondered and said, "Grand Elder, I suddenly thought of a young man. This young man has been in the limelight for the past few years. He started as a small fry and became the Sect Leader of the Magic Lotus Sect in just four years. He even established the Sanctuary Alliance. Recently, he was crowned as the Northern Barren's Saint King because of his contribution in defeating the foreign invaders!
If it was said that this kid had a god-tier talent, then there was still a high possibility!
Most importantly, his name just so happens to be Lin Xuan! "
"Northern Wilderness Lin Xuan?"
Lin Zongping's eyes flickered, and he stroked his beard thoughtfully.
At this moment, Lin Zhong hesitated. "Grand Elder, when I was out on some business, I happened to hear that the Keelung Sect had sent out a large number of people to search for Lin Xuan's whereabouts near the Imperial Sky City."
Lin Guanqing clapped his hands and said happily, "Grand Elder, maybe it really is this Lin Xuan! But … "
He frowned again. "Although Lin Xuan's surname is also Lin, he was born in the Lin family of Jiang Province's Fish Dragon Town. That Fish Dragon Town's Lin family has nothing to do with our Imperial Sky City's Lin family!"
Lin Zongping suddenly laughed. "Hahahaha! How could they have nothing to do with each other? You may not know this, but the Lin family of Jiang Province's Fish Dragon Town is actually a branch left behind by Lin Wudi! "
"Lin Wudi?"
Lin Guanqing and Lin Zhong were shocked.
Lin Wudi was the only King level talent in the Lin family in six hundred years. He had already cultivated to the late stages of the Divine Ability realm before the age of a hundred. Back then, he was famous in the entire True Martial Domain, second only to Megatron.
Many people even said that Lin Wudi had a high chance of breaking through to the Divine Transformation realm and becoming a peerless powerhouse.
Unfortunately, the heavens were jealous of geniuses.
After Lin Wudi joined the Keelung Sect, he changed his identity and infiltrated the Dragon Soul Hall as a spy, trying to find a way to restrain the Dragon Soul's child.
Unfortunately, he failed at the last minute. After Lin Wudi escaped from the Dragon Soul Hall with heavy injuries, he was killed by the Dark Hall's people halfway and finally fell.
Although Lin Wudi had been dead for more than two hundred years, he was still the pride of the Lin family. Everyone in the Lin family knew this ancestor's deeds like the back of their hand.
Lin Guanqing was shocked for a moment, then said happily, "Grand Elder, if that's the case, then it can't be wrong! That Lin Xuan must have entered the Imperial Sky City, and this phenomenon on the Ancestral Stele must be because of him! "
"That's right!" Lin Zongping nodded and said with relief, "To think that the lineage that Lin Wudi left behind actually gave birth to such a genius! Good, good! However, the Keelung Sect is currently hunting him down. We absolutely cannot let him fall into the hands of the Keelung Sect! "
Lin Guanqing frowned and said, "Grand Elder, the Keelung Sect is determined to get Lin Xuan. They've already been entangled with Lin Xuan for three to four years. If our Lin family rashly interferes, I'm afraid that not only will we not be able to help Lin Xuan, we might even lose our own lives. We have to carefully plan this matter!"
Lin Zongping nodded and said, "What you said is right! Even if the Keelung Sect is torn apart, it's also not what our Lin family can deal with! Fortunately, that brat Lin Xuan has heaven-defying luck and isn't so easy to deal with. Otherwise, the Keelung Sect would have succeeded long ago!
You don't have to interfere in this matter, and don't spread it out. I'll do it myself. "
Lin Guanqing hesitated and asked, "Grand Elder, with just you alone, how can you find Lin Xuan before the Keelung Sect?"
Lin Zongping stroked his beard and smiled confidently. "Don't worry, I have my ways!"
… …
At the entrance of the Li Residence.
Lin Xuan dismounted from his mount and looked up at the tall lintel and the extraordinary layout of the residence. He was slightly surprised.
"It seems that this old friend of Ning Que's grandfather is an official," Lin Xuan muttered to himself.
"Who are you? Why are you loitering at the entrance of the Li Residence? "A guard walked out and asked.
Lin Xuan smiled indifferently and handed over a visiting card, saying, "Please inform your master that I am Ning Que, the young master of the Dark Moon Sect. My ancestor and Master Li are old friends, and I request to meet Master Li."
"Wait!"
The guard had a suspicious look on his face as he walked in with the visiting card.
A moment later, a cultured and refined young master walked out and smiled at Lin Xuan as he cupped his fists and said, "Brother Ning, I've made you wait for a long time. I am the third young master of the Li family, Li Mohan. I'm here on orders from my ancestor to welcome Brother Ning. Brother Ning, please come in!"
"Brother Li is too polite. Please!"
