Lin Qiaohua: Yingying, Have You Already Reached Foundation Establishment?
As a young master of mysterious and noble status, whom even top forces in Qin Province like the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect had to treat with caution, Lu Yang's name itself was quite prestigious. These three fools actually used his name to engage in Evil Cultivator. If this got out and reached Lu Yang's ears, what would he think of the Lin Household?
At that point, even Lin Ying's impression on Lu Yang might be greatly diminished.
If Lu Yang were to become enraged because of this, the Lin Household would likely find it difficult to withstand Lu Yang wrath!
Lin Yi and his two companions must have lost their minds to do something like this!
Upon receiving the news, Lin Qiaohua immediately summoned all the influential members of the Lin Household to interrogate Lin Yi.
However, the other two Lin Household cultivators, perhaps having gotten wind of the situation, lost contact with the Lin Household when they were asked to return.
Lin Qiaohua was cold as she asked indifferently, "Lin Yi, Lin Feiyang, and Lin Qi... where are they now?"
Lin Yi's body trembled slightly as he whispered, "Fei, Feiyang and Brother Qi, they and the recruited Bandit Cultivators found a mountain peak as their base camp. They usually stay there, but they weren't called back. They probably got wind of it and ran away..."
At this point, Lin Yi pleaded again, "Ancestor, I was confused for a moment, and it was Brother Feiyang who came up with this idea... I was just following their lead. Please, please forgive me since I've told the truth about everything!"
Lin Qiaohua's face grew increasingly grim. She said coldly, "Find those two bastards first, then we'll figure out how to deal with you! Take us to their lair!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi dared not say anything more and immediately nodded silently.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a joyful voice. "Patriarch, Ancestor! Miss is back! Miss Lin Ying is back!"
Upon hearing this, the Lin Household's senior members, who had been trembling with fear, all changed their expressions. Even Lin Qiaohua, Lin Donglin, and Lu Mian became somewhat nervous.
A hint of worry appeared on Lin Qiaohua's originally indifferent face. "Yingying? Why is Yingying back at this time? Wasn't she cultivating in the sect?"
Lin Donglin and his companions were also somewhat worried.
They originally planned to handle the matter themselves, without disturbing Lin Ying, which would minimize the impact and ultimately make it seem as if nothing had happened.
Lin Ying unexpectedly returned at this time. How could this matter be kept from Lin Ying?
Just then, Lin Donglin, sweat beading on his forehead, spoke up, "Ancestor, we need to go out and meet Yingying first... I just don't know if Young Master Lu has returned yet?"
Hearing this, Lin Qiaohua nodded silently, a prayer forming in her heart.
It's fine that Yingying is back, but I hope Lu Yang doesn't come back with her. Otherwise, this matter will probably have a huge impact on Lin Ying.
She quickly stood up, glared at Lin Yi kneeling on the ground, and hissed, "Third brother, take this good-for-nothing brat away and keep a close eye on him! We'll deal with him later!"
Upon hearing this, an elderly man with white hair and beard quickly stood up and silently escorted Lin Yi away.
Lin Qiaohua and her companions left the hall and, following the servants outside, quickly headed to the outer area of Lin Household compound.
Soon, Lin Qiaohua saw Lin Ying, who had just entered the mountain-protecting formation. Her gaze swept over them and saw that besides Lin Ying, there were several other protectors, but Lu Yang was nowhere to be seen.
She glanced at the sky again, but did not see any trace of the hundred-foot flying boat.
This relieved Lin Qiaohua; it seemed Lu Yang hadn't come.
Lin Donglin and the others nearby also had their own guesses, and their mood relaxed somewhat.
Lin Qiaohua looked at Lin Ying with a gentle and doting smile, "Yingying, why did you suddenly come back? You didn't even tell me?"
Lin Donglin and Lu Mian also stepped forward quickly, their faces beaming with smiles and their eyes filled with pride.
Their greatest pride in this life is having their daughter, Lin Ying. Lin Ying has been ambitious since childhood. Her Spirit Root is already of the middle grade, and she has become Alchemist and even joined the Pill Peak of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect!
Looking at the Lineage around Taibai Market, he is a top-tier genius.
Not to mention, Lin Ying also found such an outstanding dao companion, which benefited Lin Ying as well.
Because of Lin Ying and Lu Yang's relationship, the Lin Household and Miaoshou Pharmacy have developed a deep cooperation. Even other Golden Core Lineage and forces in Taibai Market treat the Lin Household with great respect.
"Yes, Yingying, why are you back?" Lu Mian held Lin Ying's fair hand, carefully examining her pretty face, and said, "How have you been these days? You haven't written home for quite some time."
Because the Taibai Mountain Range are quite a distance from the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, the Lin Household cultivators' Sound Transmission Jade Token naturally cannot transmit messages in time. Therefore, in most cases, Lin Ying wants to contact her family by writing letters.
In front of her closest parents and great-grandmother, Lin Ying's gentle and beautiful face revealed a mischievous smile, "Great-grandmother, father, mother, it's not that I don't want to write, it's just that I've been in seclusion these days and haven't had the time. Haven't you noticed anything different about me?"
"Seclusion?" Great-grandmother was taken aback for a moment, then she quickly noticed that Lin Ying's aura was slightly off.
Her eyes widened, a look of astonishment appearing in them. Overwhelmed with excitement, her hands trembled slightly. "... This... Yingying, your cultivation... you've already Foundation Establishment?!"
"What?!" The other Lin Household cultivators stared wide-eyed at Lin Ying.
Lin Ying nodded with a grin, a hint of pride in her eyes. "Yes, I've already Foundation Establishment!"
"Hiss..."
Having received Lin Ying's affirmation, the group of Lin Household cultivators immediately took a deep breath, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Lin Donglin was somewhat bewildered. "Foundation Establishment... My daughter actually Foundation Establishment?? So fast??"
Lu Mian beamed with joy, his face practically glowing. "Yingying's only 25 years old this year, right?! Foundation Establishment at 25? That's an incredible genius!"
The other Lin Household cultivators looked at Lin Ying with rather complicated expressions.
Although they received some preferential treatment and more resources because of Lin Ying, the ones who benefited the most were naturally Lin Donglin, Lu Mian, and Lin Qiaohua.
It's impossible to say that I didn't feel resentful.
However, they obtained these things because of Lin Ying, so they wouldn't show it.
Now, seeing that Lin Ying had actually broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, their feelings were even more complicated.
Lin Qiaohua beamed and exclaimed, "Excellent! My darling Yingying has actually Foundation Establishment! At 25, she's already at the Foundation Establishment stage, and there's a great chance she'll reach the Golden Core Foundation Establishment, or even the Nascent Soul in the future! Excellent!"
Lin Ying pursed her red lips and chuckled, "Thanks to Lu Yang, he gave me a lot of resources and even helped me get a Wood Dao Path Earth Grade Cultivation Method from the sect. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would have taken me several more years to reach the Foundation Establishment."
Hearing this, Lin Qiaohua nodded repeatedly, her heart filled with emotion, and said, "Young Master Lu truly cares about you. Yingying, you must treat Young Master Lu well and not let him down."
Lu Mian nodded repeatedly, then Sound Dao, "Did you use what I taught you last time? Young Master Lu dao companion like Young Master Lu is the greatest fortuitous opportunity of your life. You'd better serve him well! Otherwise, see how I deal with you!"
Lin Ying was completely stunned when she heard Lu Mian's telepathic message.
She couldn't help but think to herself, "Mother, oh Mother... you have no idea how twisted that guy is... what you taught him was child's play!"
She reluctantly agreed telepathically, then glanced around, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Why are so many people gathered together? Has something happened? Could it be that some Evil Cultivator or Bandit Cultivator is trying to harm my Lin Household?"
She returned this time to prevent any trouble from happening to the Lin Household under the current circumstances. Seeing so many members of the Lin Household gathered together, she felt relieved, realizing that she had returned at the right time!
