Holy Shit! A Fortune from the Heavens!
Cloud City of Wan Lineage.
The Wan Lineage suffered repeated defeats in their confrontation with the Zhou Clan. Not only did their various Wan Lineage clinics close down, but their staff also switched to the Zhou Medical Hall.
Even inside the mansion, the other members of the Wan Lineage were all considering their next steps.
The once Wan Lineage, frequented by countless guests, is now shrouded in a cloudless sky.
Forget about guests; of the original five doormen, only the oldest and most senior one remains, sitting in the doorman's room dozing off.
Most of the other servants were also dismissed, so the Wan Lineage now looks somewhat desolate.
The servants who were left behind no longer had the sense of superiority they once had as the head of the first Lineage in Cloud City. They sat together discussing whether they should find another employer.
"I heard that the Zhou Clan has cut off all of the Wan Lineage's supply channels... Many of the remaining clinics are now out of medicine."
"It's not just medicine; even more people have died..."
"The Zhou Medical Hall is the strongest medical hall. How can our Wan Lineage Medical Hall compete with the Zhou Clan?"
"In my opinion, judging from this trend, we'll probably need to find new jobs next month..."
Just as the servants were expressing their feelings, a figure strode into the Wan Lineage.
A servant who had only been there a short time ago quickly stepped forward and said to the newcomer, "Miss, the Wan Lineage is not receiving guests lately, so please..."
Before the man could finish speaking, the old doorman beside him exclaimed in surprise.
"Young... Young Miss!"
With a shout, all the servants looked over in surprise. When they saw Wan Lin dressed in black, some of the servants who were familiar with Wan Lin rushed over.
"The young lady is back!"
"Young Miss... this old servant has missed you so much..."
"Is that the robes of a disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect that the young lady is wearing...? My goodness, they look so beautiful..."
"The young lady is back... Quickly, inform Madam that the young lady is back..."
The Wan Lineage, which had been stagnant, came alive again with Wan Lin's return.
In a short time, the entire Wan Lineage knew that the young lady had returned.
When Li Yunxian heard that Wan Lin had returned, a look of surprise appeared on her face, followed by a helpless bitter smile.
She had already instructed Wan Lin that she no longer needed to be involved in the Wan Lineage's affairs; as long as she remained in the Vast Heaven Sect, she would have her own path in the Future.
Wan Lin, why did you have to come back and get involved in this mess?
Inside the Wan Lineage Hall, Li Yunxian looked at Wan Lin, who was dressed in a black core disciple's robe, and a tear flashed in her eye, but she quickly wiped it away, not wanting her daughter to see it.
"Linlin's back! That's incredible! Linlin is now a core disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect." Wan Xianglun looked Wan Lin up and down, then said expectantly, "Linlin, your younger brother wants to join the Vast Heaven Sect next year. Now that you're a core disciple, I wonder if you could pull some strings?"
Wan Lin simply ignored what his second uncle said.
How could Wan Lin not know what kind of person his own younger brother was?
Join the Vast Heaven Sect? Besides indulging in eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring, he can barely even get into bed.
What kind of place is the Vast Heaven Sect? They don't need to bribe anyone, right? Even at the height of the Wan Lineage's power, let alone the current Wan Lineage, there was absolutely no way they could bribe the Vast Heaven Sect.
Do you think I'm some Senior Brother Xinghe, able to let whoever I want join the sect?
Furthermore, even Senior Brother Xinghe only took on Feng Yuzheng, but is Yuzheng an ordinary person? Junior Brother Yuzheng has been killing like crazy!
"Second Uncle, Linlin just got back, you're too impatient," Li Yunxian said, trying to smooth things over for Wan Lin.
However, Wan Xianglun snorted coldly upon hearing this and continued, "Yes, yes, I was too impatient, unlike you, sister-in-law, who has a good daughter. But are you coming back at this time to take you away and run away with us ahead of time?"
Although Wan Xianglun's words were harsh, the Wan Lineage members around him nodded helplessly.
Because what Wan Xianglun said made sense. At this point, the Wan Lineage was basically at its wits' end. What could Wan Lin, even as a core disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect, do at this point?
Aside from taking Li Yunxian away, it seems there's nothing else to do, right?
A flash of anger crossed Li Yunxian's eyes, but she didn't lash out. She was too tired to argue anymore; she had argued with everyone far too many times in the past month.
Now, Li Yunxian doesn't want her daughter to see her shouting herself hoarse.
"Linlin, take a good rest for a couple of days after you get back. Ask the cook at home to make whatever you want to eat, and tell your mother if you want to buy anything, and she'll buy it for you. You can't neglect your cultivation at the sect, so rest for a few days and then hurry back to the sect. Don't worry about things at home."
Li Yunxian appeared nonchalant. Although her Lineage was on the verge of death, Li Yunxian didn't want Wan Lin get involved, nor did she want him to see the Lineage in such a state of decline.
The other members of the Wan Lineage sighed in dismay upon hearing this.
Just as Li Yunxian was about to end the meeting with Wan Lin spoke up, "Mother, I know about what's going on at home. I came back to resolve the problems at home."
When Wan Lin said this, not only Li Yunxian, but everyone in the Wan Lineage present was stunned.
What the heck?
You're here to solve the problems at home?
Wan Lin... It's not that we uncles and elders look down on you, but although you are a core disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect, aren't your words a bit too arrogant?
You are a disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect, but the Wan Lineage is not. I've never heard of any super sect directly intervening to help a disciple's Lineage just because they have problems. Sects are supposed to be detached from worldly affairs, so they would never interfere in such matters.
"Linlin, your idea is good, but I'm afraid it's Taixing with your current abilities..."
Wan Xianglun didn't give Wan Lin any face either. Wan Lin was just a core disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect. There were many core disciples in the Vast Heaven Sect.
You threaten to settle family matters at the drop of a hat, what's wrong with that?
Do you think you're an elder of the Vast Heaven Sect?
Li Yunxian shook her head helplessly, because in her opinion, what her daughter had just said was indeed a bit outrageous.
Just as everyone was shaking their heads, Wan Lin smiled, his gaze sweeping across the room, and said calmly, "I will intervene in this Lineage crisis! Look at this!"
A flash of light appeared in Wan Lin's hand, and a disciple token bearing the three characters "Chu Xinghe" Wan Lin in his palm.
The sudden appearance of the token attracted everyone's attention, but soon, the group of Wan Lineage members were dumbfounded.
What the heck? When Wan Lin took out the token, everyone's first reaction was, "Did Wan Lin bring out the Vast Heaven Sect Elder's Token?"
If it really is an elder's decree, then it might actually help the Wan Lineage overcome the crisis.
But now everyone can see clearly that it is not a purple-level elder's token of the Vast Heaven Sect at all, but a black disciple's token!
What is the use of the Vast Heaven Sect disciple token?
The Elder's Decree of the Vast Heaven Sect can command all parties within the Vast Heaven Sect, but what use is the Disciple's Decree besides proving a disciple's identity?
But soon someone noticed something was wrong.
"Chu... Chu Xinghe?"
Upon hearing this, countless people from Wan Lineage also changed their expressions drastically. There was nothing wrong with the disciple token itself; the problem was that the name on the token was different.
Is this Chu Xinghe's disciple's token?
Who is Chu Xinghe? There's probably no one in the world who doesn't know him these days... the number one among the younger generation.
In less than two years since joining the Vast Heaven Sect, Chu Xinghe has already helped the Vast Heaven Sect in the world, take off in various ways. The things Chu Xinghe has done have caused a sensation throughout the world time and time again. If anyone in the world doesn't know Chu Xinghe, then they must be living in a village without internet access!
Therefore, the significance of Chu Xinghe's disciple token at this moment is far more than that of the Vast Heaven Sect's disciple token.
But Wan Xianglun quickly spoke up, "Linlin, Chu Xinghe is indeed extraordinary, but the Vast Heaven Sect also has its rules, you know. To mobilize the Vast Heaven Sect's resources to help the Lineage, I'm afraid Chu Xinghe's disciple token is not enough, is it?"
Many members of the Wan Lineage nodded in agreement when their second uncle said this.
Even the mother showed a hint of doubt.
But all Wan Lin wanted to say about all this was that they had no idea what Senior Brother Xinghe represented in the Vast Heaven Sect!
If the sect were to give me an elder's token today to help my Lineage fight against the Zhou Medical Hall, I really wouldn't be confident. After all, elder's tokens are graded, and unless it's the Grand Elder's Purple Gold Elder's Token, other elder's tokens, even if they can mobilize resources, are still limited.
But Senior Brother Xinghe's disciple token is completely different!
Senior Brother Xinghe's disciple token is second only to the Haotian Token. If you have Senior Brother Xinghe's disciple token within our Vast Heaven Sect, it's equivalent to having the Haotian Token.
Even in the sect's treasure vault, when Feng Yuzheng entered with Senior Brother Xinghe's disciple token, the guards only glanced at it and didn't ask a single question.
No matter how much Feng Yuzheng took from the treasure vault, the guards never bothered to check it!
What? You don't trust Feng Yuzheng, but you don't trust Xinghe either...?
Wan Lin, too lazy to explain, simply tossed Senior Brother Xinghe token to his second uncle, Wan Xianglun, and said, "Second Uncle, whether Senior Brother Xinghe token is useful or not, you'll find out soon enough by going to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce. Wan Lin humbly request that you take it to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce and tell them that from this moment on, the entire Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce will spare no effort to fully support the Wan Lineage!"
After Wan Lin finished speaking, the disciple's token was already in Wan Xianglun's hands.
Wan Xianglun looked bewildered, but seeing the same puzzled looks on the faces of the others, Wan Xianglun gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and got up to walk out.
Wan Lin, oh Wan Lin... you've really been in the Vast Heaven Sect for too long, you just don't understand the ways of the world!
Although Chu Xinghe is renowned, the Vast Heaven Sect also has its rules. You think you can mobilize the entire Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce with just a disciple's token from a nobody like Chu Xinghe?
You're going crazy!
Since you want to embarrass yourself, then I'll make you embarrass yourself!
Wan Xianglun went straight to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, holding Chu Xinghe's disciple token. Wan Xianglun stepped into the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce and then threw the token at the face of a minor Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.
The junior steward was completely bewildered when he suddenly received a Vast Heaven Sect disciple token. "Isn't this the second master of the Wan Lineage? What are you doing with our Vast Heaven Sect disciple token?"
But when the junior steward saw the three characters "Chu Xinghe" written on the disciple's token, his eyes popped out of their sockets.
Holy crap! Unbelievable wealth!
