Lin Ying's Growth
Jiang Shiqing raised her eyebrows in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Feng immediately snapped out of his daze and shook his head repeatedly. He hesitated for a moment, a hint of nervousness in his smile, and asked, "Shiqing... you just said that this fluctuation of Divine Sense isn't dangerous? There won't be any problems, will there?"
Jiang Shiqing understood that the Jiang Household cultivators were somewhat worried. After all, the sweeping fluctuations of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator's Divine Sense were terrifying, something that cultivators in the Taibai Mountain Range might not encounter even once in a hundred years.
She reassured everyone, "Don't worry, there's no danger. I've already asked Madam Lin Ying."
Jiang Feng and his companions immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yin'er hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help asking, "Shiqing, how is Madam treating you? Has she suffered any grievances?"
Although she knew she couldn't be of much help, as a mother, she naturally wanted to know about her daughter's situation.
Jiang Shiqing smiled and shook her head, saying, "Don't worry, Mother, the young master and madam treat me very well. You don't need to worry."
Hearing this, Li Yin'er nodded silently. Then, she took Jiang Shiqing's hand and said with a soft smile, "Let's not talk about this anymore. You rarely come back, so just stay home and rest for a few days."
Jiang Shiqing smiled and nodded, "Okay."
She has already spoken to the young master and can stay home and rest for the next few days.
Young Master was just about to go to Nanyue's place; he's probably already set off. I won't go and join in the fun.
The Lin Household.
Wang Liu and Wang Shijiu, both Nascent Soul True Lord, thoroughly searched the Taibai Market. In just a short while, they made a discovery. Wang Liu returned to the Lin Household and approached Lin Ying respectfully, saying, "Young Madam, we've found them. Shijiu, keep an eye on them."
Lin Ying nodded, then said, "Take them back to the Lin Household."
Wang Liu nodded in agreement. "Yes."
Wang Liu paused, then continued, "There are several other cultivators with them, all at the Qi Refining Realm. How should we deal with them?"
Lin Ying paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Qiaohua.
Lin Qiaohua's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, her face flushed, and she said, "I'm afraid they are accomplices of the Bandit Cultivator they recruited..."
Lin Ying nodded slightly and said, "Since they are all Bandit Cultivator, let's kill them."
Wang Liu nodded slightly. "Yes, Madam."
Lin Ying is gentle and kind to Lu Yang and his acquaintances, but as a cultivator, especially one raised in a small Lineage, she naturally possesses ruthless methods and will not show mercy to those who Bandit Cultivator.
After Wang Liu disappeared from the spot, the Lin Household cultivators all fell silent.
Since learning that Wang Liu and Wang Shijiu were actually Nascent Soul True Lord, Lin Qiaohua, Lin Donglin, and Lu Mian were all somewhat terrified, not to mention the other Lin Household cultivators.
Looking at Lin Ying's calm expression, Lin Qiaohua felt a little dazed for a moment.
This great-granddaughter, who had previously needed her protection and her unwavering support in alchemy despite opposition, has changed significantly. She is now more confident and decisive than before.
As a woman, she naturally knew that Lin Ying's confidence came from that Young Master Lu. She felt no dissatisfaction or disappointment about this; on the contrary, she felt that it was a very good thing for Lin Ying.
At the very least, Lin Ying is less likely to be bullied.
Taibai Mountain Range, a remote and not very tall mountain range.
Hidden among the vines on the mountainside is a secluded cave abode.
Lin Feiyang, Lin Qi, and three other men and two women, five cultivators, were sitting in the main hall of the cave abode. Their faces were pale and their foreheads were covered in cold sweat.
The people present were all cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm. Faced with the fluctuations of Divine Sense appearing in the sky, they felt as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in. They were all somewhat dazed, and their bodies trembled slightly involuntarily.
If it weren't for the fact that this fluctuation of Divine Sense didn't seem to be particularly malicious, they felt that their cultivation levels might have been greatly reduced.
Just then, the fluctuation of Divine Sense suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
The people present looked at each other, bewildered.
A moment later, one of the middle-aged men exhaled a breath of stale air, saying with lingering fear, "Damn, that was terrifying! What level of powerful figure was that Divine Sense fluctuation just now?"
Another young man spoke up, "I've seen Golden Core True Person in Taibai Market, but none of them possessed such overwhelming power. They must be at the True Lord level, right?"
A pretty female cultivator looked at Lin Feiyang with sparkling eyes and said in a sweet voice, "Brother Feiyang, doesn't your brother-in-law have even the True Lord of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect come out to greet him? He should know all the True Lord in Qin Province, right? Could it be someone you know?"
Under the female cultivator's admiring gaze, Lin Feiyang immediately puffed out his chest and said with a hint of pride, "Hmm, I'll ask my brother-in-law later; maybe he really knows."
Lin Qi, standing to the side, pursed his lips slightly, feeling a little uneasy.
Although Lin Feiyang appeared smug, he was also somewhat uneasy inside.
After they lost contact with Lin Yi, they realized that Lin Yi had probably betrayed them.
The three of them were originally relatively outstanding cultivators in the Lin Household, with decent talent. They received a lot of resources from the Lin Household for cultivation and are now all at the Late Qi Refining.
Although they weren't as accomplished as their cousin Lin Ying, who had reached the Peak Qi Refinement before the age of thirty and was also Alchemist, they were still considered promising young talents in Taibai Market.
But things changed after Lin Ying found her brother-in-law.
That brother-in-law took Lin Jin and those three idiots to Taibai Market, and as a result, the old ancestor's attitude changed significantly.
My brother-in-law brought back so many resources, but the three of them, who are considered the most talented among the younger generation, didn't actually receive the most!
On the contrary, Lin Jin, Lin Ling, and Lin Mingyue, those three good-for-nothings, received more resources!
This is far too biased; how could Lin Feiyang and the other two accept it?
The three were extremely frustrated, but they dared not confront the ancestor. After all, the ancestor was the only Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator in the Lin Household and a pillar of the Lin Household. Moreover, the ancestor had been so kind to Lin Ying's cousin before, so one could imagine how much the cousin felt for the ancestor. If they disobeyed the ancestor, they would probably suffer the consequences in the future!
Similarly, the three of them dared not express any dissatisfaction with Lin Ying.
They weren't fools; that brother-in-law was someone with connections to the highest levels. If they had the chance, the three of them would be scrambling to curry favor with him!
Didn't you see that those three good-for-nothings, just because they were heartless and dared to say they'd go to Taibai Market with their brother-in-law in front of him, actually earned special treatment from the ancestor?
If the three of them had been so shameless back then, instead of worrying about displeasing that mysterious and noble brother-in-law, they might be even more favored by the ancestor Lin Jin and the other two!
But who could have imagined that the brother-in-law would be so easy to talk to? The three of them regretted it too late.
Therefore, the three of them could only direct their dissatisfaction and jealousy at Lin Jin and the other two.
They had originally thought that they might find an opportunity to make Lin Jin and the other two make mistakes, anger the ancestor, and take back everything that belonged to them.
Before they could find an opportunity, the Blood Devil Hall incident broke out, causing turmoil among the Bandit Cultivators and Evil Cultivators, and throwing the entire Taibai Mountain Range into chaos.
The three of them had no original intention of becoming Bandit Cultivators; it was entirely by fortuitous opportunity.
Previously, when Lin Feiyang and his two companions returned from Taibai Market, they happened to encounter an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Bandit Cultivator.
The three of them thought they were doomed, but they decided to give it a try and revealed the name of the Lin Household and what their brother-in-law had done in Taibai Market.
Unexpectedly, the Early-stage Foundation Establishment Bandit Cultivator let them go without hesitation, and even gave them half of his wealth, telling the three of them in a rather obsequious tone not to tell his brother-in-law about this!
