If Ruo Lin, Lin Lei, and the rest of the Lin family heard what the Huangfu family said, they would probably laugh so hard that they couldn't even stand straight.
"He doesn't dare?"
Lin Lei only had one thing to say. "You're thinking too much. There's no one in this world that he doesn't dare to kill." Of course, it was also fortunate that Lin Lei and the others weren't here.
Based on what Lin Lei had promised the Huangfu old man, it was likely that the Huangfu family and everyone related to the Huangfu family were all dead.
In the Huangfu family's living room, everyone was silent. Huangfu Jing, who was standing in the distance, looked at everyone's silent reaction and was startled. She sighed, "The Tian family is heartless, but I didn't know that a large family like this was the same."
Looking at these people who kept saying that they were looking for the old man, Huangfu Jing felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
"I'm going to the Lin family to look for the old man in a bit. Who wants to come?"
"Huh?"
As soon as she said this, everyone's eyes fell on Huangfu Jing again. They were stunned by Huangfu Jing's initiative, but when they thought about what the old man was going to the Lin family for, they understood.
"I'll go with you!" At this time, a middle-aged man stood up and walked to Huangfu Jing's side. He lovingly reached out his hand and patted Huangfu Jing's hair.
"Me too." Someone spoke up. Then, one after another, people stood up. Huangfu Jing was quite satisfied. After all, she had already thought of many people.
"Father, we'll go to the Lin family in a bit." Looking at the first person who stood up, Huangfu Jing said gently, "Although the Lin family is like an arrow at the end of its flight, it was still a top family in the past. I won't be able to rest until I see grandfather."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Huangfu Tian, the third son of the Huangfu family's old man and also Huangfu Jing's father. He had an amiable personality and was very good at dealing with people.
Just like that, under Huangfu Jing's leadership, a group of 16 people walked on the road to the Lin family.
Although there were sixteen people traveling together at the moment, there were only a few who really wanted to rescue the old man. Other than having ulterior motives, there was nothing else.
Even Huangfu Jing didn't dare to say that it was for the sake of Grandpa Sheng's safety. After all, Grandpa Sheng was going there for her marriage.
Now that Old Master Lin had not returned, she had a feeling that something had happened. For the sake of peace in her heart, she decided to go to the Lin family.
However, regarding the Lin family and the Huangfu family's actions, the Lin family was completely unaware. Right now, the Lin family could be said to be easy to defend and hard to attack. Even the imperial family couldn't say that they could break through the Lin family's defenses.
And all of these masterpieces were ordered by Master Lin before. It was also the result of his lifetime of hard work.
Lin Ray's room in the Lin family's backyard. After Lin Ray displayed his powerful strength, there were no servants in his residence. Master Lin was afraid that these insensible servants would disturb Lin Ray's cultivation.
And in these few days, besides eating all kinds of delicious food, Lin Ray cultivated. Although the spirit energy here was insufficient, in order to leave this low-level plane as soon as possible, he was going all out.
In a short six days, Lin Ray forcibly raised his cultivation from the first layer of body tempering to the ninth layer of qi refining.
It felt better. The spirit energy in his body circulated vigorously, and a smile appeared on his face.
As the saying goes, when one family is happy, another family is sad. Lin Ray was happy that he broke through, but the cultivators in a radius of tens of thousands of miles felt like dying.
In these six days, every time they wanted to cultivate, their spirit energy would be sucked dry. Not a bit was left. It was like this every time, and this made some cultivators go crazy.
This continued for six days. At first, everyone cursed. As the days passed, the curses disappeared and were replaced by silence. In the end, they accepted this fact.
In the Lin family's room, Lin Ray sat cross-legged and felt the vigorous spirit energy in his body. He was very excited. "I've finally returned to qi refining. Although it's a bit slow, it's better than nothing."
After restraining his cultivation and thinking about where he was, a sense of loss and confusion welled up in his heart.
"In the end, I came here casually. I remember that I was fighting with the Devourer, but then … then what happened?" As he thought about it, the clear image in his mind became blurry.
"Hiss …"
"Why can't I remember? What did I do after that? Why did I appear in such a low-level plane? And even if I opened it with a divine tool, I shouldn't have come to such a remote and almost dry plane."
The more he wanted to remember what had happened, the more blurry the image in his mind became. In the end, the memory suddenly disappeared.
"Ah …"
A heart-wrenching pain suddenly appeared. Lin Ray was stunned and his body kept retreating. His face was very pale.
"Looks like … looks like I'm still not strong enough. I didn't expect to be injured like this just by thinking about it."
Feeling the injury in his body, this was the only explanation Lin Ray could come up with. Other than this explanation, he couldn't think of anything else that could hurt him.
"Sigh!"
He sighed. His face was full of helplessness and powerlessness. But when he thought about how his strength could be recovered, his complexion became slightly better.
… … …
In the Yan Country's capital, in the palace hall, a young man in a yellow robe was sitting on the throne. A group of people were kneeling on the ground, trembling.
At this moment, the hall was very quiet. Not a single sound could be heard. It was as if a needle falling could be heard clearly.
"Your Majesty, the Lin family's matter …"
"The Lin family? You still have the nerve to talk about the Lin family? "Without waiting for the middle-aged man to finish speaking, the young man in the yellow robe who was addressed as' Your Majesty 'glared at him and criticized him.
"Who was the one who suggested to Father that the Lin family should be eliminated? What about now?"
"Tell me, what should we do now? Who should eliminate the Lin family? "
The moment the young man's words were thrown out, the hall instantly fell silent. "Now that Lin Ray of the Lin family has awakened, this is equivalent to the Lin family's rise. In addition to the Lin family's strength, what do you think? What will happen next?"
"Exterminate them? Ha, do you think the Lin family will give you this? "
"Curry favor and rope them in? Do you think the Lin family will take a liking to a member of the royal family who wants to eliminate them? "
This possibility was thrown out by the young man. This made some of the people below even more difficult to deal with. They really didn't expect that someone who had been in a coma for eight years could still wake up.
Now, they also had unspeakable bitterness. Even if their teeth were broken, they could only swallow it down. After all, why did they have to sever ties with the Lin family? They even stepped on the Lin family when they were at their most difficult time.
Among these people, a portion of them were once Master Lin's close friends and brothers. However … after the Lin family met with misfortune, they all either left or stepped on them. They didn't care about their former friendship at all.
Apart from an old man who had a normal expression, everyone else on the spear was the same.
"Old Prime Minister, you've given us a solution. I'm afraid you're the only one qualified to speak on this matter."
Once the young man spoke, everyone's gazes gathered on an old man.
The instant they saw the old man, they were stunned. Their hearts were filled with envy. That's right, when everyone was attacking and distancing themselves from the Lin family, only the Old Prime Minister, the Long family, didn't do the same. They even secretly helped the Lin family many times.
If there was anyone present who knew, it was none other than the Long family. Master Lin was also very certain about this.
The Lin family's rules were actually very simple. If you respect me, I'll return the favor tenfold. If you don't treat me well, I won't bother with you. If you dare to cause trouble for me, I'll kill you.
It was that simple. There was nothing else. Long Jia did it. He made the Lin family acknowledge him as a friend.
Seeing everyone's gazes, the old man was stunned. His face was filled with helplessness. He originally didn't want to participate in this matter. After all, the imperial family and the major clans had gone too far back then.
"Old Prime Minister, you see, the Yan Country has just stabilized. It can't afford to be divided. Back then, my father didn't handle the Lin family properly. You see …"
"That's right, Old Prime Minister. Look at the Lin family now. If we don't control them, I'm afraid they'll rush to the imperial capital and replace us in the future."
"You …" Hearing this, the old Prime Minister was angry. The Emperor was also unhappy. They didn't think that their lover would say such things.
"I …" At that moment, the middle-aged man seemed to realize that he might have said something wrong. He quickly shut his mouth.
"Hmph, the Lin family won't do that. You should know that the Lin family lost three sons to protect the Yan Country. Do you think a family like that will betray the Yan Country?"
"Besides …" As he spoke, he looked at the Emperor fearlessly. "Even if the Lin family really did that, I won't. I won't have any opinion. After all, the imperial family betrayed the Lin family."
"As for the Lin family returning to the Yan Country, I don't think you should think about it."
He refused. He did not want to fall out with Old Man Lin because of this matter. Although he held the position of the Fire Country's Prime Minister, but towards this country, the Emperor, and everything else around him, he had long grown tired of it.
"You …"
This time, the Emperor didn't say anything. The people around didn't say anything either. They knew that if the Prime Minister decided on something, even the Emperor might not have been able to stop him.
At that moment, the atmosphere became extremely oppressive and strange. However, Prime Minister Long didn't care about it at all.
The silence didn't last long before the Emperor interrupted. "Alright, let's not talk about this for now. As for the Lin family, let nature take its course."
"Yes, we understand."
Everyone agreed. Although they agreed verbally, no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
Finally, the court was dismissed. Prime Minister Long didn't stay for a moment. He went straight to his home and closed the door. He didn't see anyone.
In the courtyard of the Long family, Master Long sat under the grape trellis and drank tea. His face was relaxed and content.
"So bad. If only I could play like a person, tsk, that would be even better." Looking at the chessboard in front of him, Master Long was full of expectations. Good, no one wanted to play against him.
"Grandfather."
Just as Master Long was looking forward to it, a clear voice like an oriole's entered his ears.
"Hm?"
Hearing this voice, Master Long's body inexplicably trembled. He stiffly turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. When he saw the figure at the door, he was stunned.
"Huan 'er, Huan' er, is that you?" Master Long was excited when he saw the fifteen-sixteen-year-old girl.
If it wasn't his precious granddaughter, who else could it be? However, there was a problem. Didn't his granddaughter go to the Sword Sect to cultivate? Why did she come back?
His excitement disappeared and was replaced with worry.
In the distance, Lin Feng seemed to have sensed the old man's worry. He took a step forward and arrived in front of the old man. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I came here with my teacher and my senior sister. They're in the Imperial Capital Inn now, so they didn't come with me."
"Oh, is that so?"
Master Long was relieved when he heard this. After all, it wasn't easy to enter the Sword Sect. Moreover, it didn't matter if she didn't go to the Sword Sect. As long as his granddaughter was happy, it was fine.
"Yes."
Huan 'er nodded and looked at the tea on the table. "Grandfather, why are you in such a good mood?"
Long Huan 'er remembered that Master Long would only drink tea when he was in a good mood. Now that he was drinking his precious spring tea, her curiosity was piqued.
"Haha, you sly little girl."
Master Long smiled when he saw that Huan 'er had seen through his thoughts. He told her about the day's events.
"Lin Ray, who was in a coma for eight years, woke up?" Although she was now a disciple of the Sword Sect, it was a miracle for someone to wake up after being in a coma for eight years. Moreover, the person who woke up was an ordinary person.
"Tsk, that's right. Eight years. I didn't expect him to wake up after eight years."
"However, this isn't too bad. As long as the Lin family doesn't decline, it's fine."
Master Long didn't know that his words had piqued Long Huan 'er's curiosity. She wanted to see what a person who had been in a coma for eight years looked like after waking up.
Lin family, Lin Ray's room. When he got up from his bed, the sound of bones cracking filled the room.
"It's time to move around." Lin Ray thought as he looked outside.
As someone who had once stood at the peak of cultivation, he understood that cultivators didn't just focus on cultivation. More importantly, they needed to comprehend things.
But now, he had been in this world for so long. Besides his home, he hadn't gone anywhere else. Although it wasn't to the extent that he couldn't advance his cultivation, he could feel that his cultivation speed was a bit stagnant.
With this thought, he opened the door and went straight to Master Long's room. Since he had decided, he had to be quick.
"What? You want to go out and train? "
Not long after, Master Long's angry voice came from the room.
"Yes, I want to go out and take a look."
"You …" Master Long sat back down in the room. His face was full of helplessness and powerlessness.
"Sigh, the situation has just stabilized. There are still so many clans watching. If you go out now, won't you be waiting for assassination?" Looking at Lin Ray, he forgot how strong Lin Ray was. In his eyes, Lin Ray was his grandson, a grandson who needed his help. That was all.
However, Lin Ray was taken aback by Master Long's words. He sighed. "Grandpa, don't worry. With my cultivation, why would I be afraid of being plotted against?"
"I'm afraid that even if the strongest cultivator in Destiny Realm stood in front of me, I wouldn't care."
