Yingying, You've Got It This Good?!

Even Han Fei and his two companions, who came from Golden Core Lineage, were startled, let alone the others present.

Lin Qiaohua's expression changed drastically, and she abruptly stood up from her seat.

She stared at the young man who had brought the news, her voice trembling slightly. "A hundred-foot flying boat... was it just passing by, or..."

The boy swallowed hard, fear still lingering in his eyes, and stammered, "... When I came in, the airship seemed to have stopped."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of all the cultivators in the hall changed drastically.

Lin Qiaohua's old friends looked at each other, their eyes flickering with fear.

After a moment of silence, an old man stood up first, coughed lightly, cupped his hands, and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I just remembered that I have some urgent matters to attend to at my Lineage, so I'll take my leave now."

He didn't even wait for Lin Qiaohua's response before hurriedly leading his younger relatives out, neglecting even the most basic formalities.

Once there's a first one, there's immediately a second and a third.

Several Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators rose one after another to take their leave, quickly departing with their juniors, their footsteps hurried and disorderly.

An elder at the Foundation Establishment Realm beside Han Fei wore a solemn expression and Sound Dao, "Xiao Fei, the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect only has one hundred-zhang-level flying boat. Such a powerful figure's arrival is not something we can get involved in. We should leave quickly! It seems the Lin Household has offended something they shouldn't have."

Upon hearing this, Han Fei nodded, his face pale, "Okay."

What he said to Lin Qiaohua earlier was not unfounded.

After meeting Lin Ying at Pill Peak, he did indeed develop some feelings for her.

Unfortunately, Lin Ying often secluded herself to refine pills, and he never found a suitable opportunity to get to know her.

Later, he asked someone to investigate Lin Ying's background and learned that she was a first-level peak Alchemist and also had High-Grade Spirit Root.

These two conditions piqued his interest.

Although the Lin Household was insignificant to the Han Household, Lin Ying's value was not to be underestimated.

If he could become her dao companion, and receive her assistance in the future, his influence in the Han Household would also increase significantly.

Moreover, Lin Ying's appearance was indeed the type he liked.

But no matter how much you like something, nothing is more important than your own life.

If the Lin Household has truly offended a powerful figure who owns the Hundred-Foot Flying Boat, then associating with the Lin Household might even bring disaster upon the Han Household as well.

Han Fei calmly chose to give up almost instantly.

He had just stood up and hadn't even had a chance to greet them when Lin Qiaohua cupped her hands towards Han Fei and the other cultivators who hadn't left yet, speaking a few steps faster than usual, "Everyone, I'm so sorry, I'll have to go out and check on the situation first. Please make yourselves at home."

Before she finished speaking, she quickly walked outside.

Han Fei and the others exchanged glances and silently followed.

The moment they stepped outside, everyone saw the flying boat hovering in mid-air.

It's so big!

The shadow cast by the flying boat blocked out the sunlight, shrouding the entire valley in darkness.

The mountain wind blew in from the valley entrance, making everyone's robes flutter, but it couldn't dispel the oppressive feeling weighing on everyone's hearts.

A lingering shadow fell over the hearts of the people in the valley.

Lin Qiaohua took a deep breath, about to take off to greet them, when she saw several figures gracefully descending from the flying boat.

Upon seeing this, all the cultivators in the valley held their breath.

They looked up at the figures slowly descending, their eyes filled with awe.

As the figure drew closer, its face gradually became clearer.

At the same moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the young man in the white robe.

Both men and women froze for a moment.

Some people with stronger willpower quickly regained their senses; others with weaker willpower seemed to be trapped in some kind of illusion, their gaze following the figure as it slowly moved, everything around them blurring.

Even those cultivators who had regained their senses were still in turmoil.

This person's aura is simply astounding!

He did nothing at all; he was just standing there, yet he seemed to become the center of the world!

Who exactly is this person?

Lin Qiaohua belongs to the category of people with strong willpower.

Especially for the Lin Household right now, it might be a huge crisis of unknown origin, and she woke up almost immediately.

She suppressed her shock, no longer daring to look at the young man, and instead turned her gaze to the person beside him.

However, when Lin Qiaohua saw the woman nestled against the young man, her eyes widened in surprise.

She exclaimed in shock, "Yingying?!"

Isn't this her beloved great-granddaughter?!

How could she have come back with such an important figure?

And...

Lin Qiaohua's gaze fell on the hand around Lin Ying's waist.

Her expression changed instantly.

As the initial shock subsided, a surge of ecstasy rose in his eyes.

How could Yingying and this young man, who clearly comes from an extraordinary background, have such a close relationship?!

So, this flying boat wasn't here to cause trouble for the Lin Household at all!

The other cultivators also snapped out of their daze at Lin Qiaohua's exclamation.

They also recognized Lin Ying.

For a moment, heavy breathing and low gasps filled the air.

"That's... the young lady?!"

"It's Sister Yingying!"

"... Yingying's relationship with that young master seems to be more than just ordinary, doesn't it?"

"..."

Those cultivators who had originally planned to let their younger generation get to know Lin Ying turned pale instantly.

Even Han Fei and the two Han Household cultivators were no exception.

If Lin Ying were truly someone close to such an important figure, even if she were just a maid, she wouldn't be someone they could even covet.

At this moment, Lin Ying was being held by Lu Yang's waist, her pretty face already flushed red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look up.

Part of it was because on the flying boat earlier, she had listened to what Junior Brother Lu said and done something that made her so ashamed she wanted to disappear into the ground; her mouth was still a little sore.

Another part is that it was the first time she brought her Junior Brother Lu home, and all the people standing below were her relatives and elders. As a young woman, she naturally couldn't help but feel shy and nervous.

Lin Ying only looked up abruptly when she heard that familiar call.

She saw familiar faces, and their expressions as they looked at her were filled with undisguised shock.

And the ancestor who loved her the most and supported her alchemy with the Lineage's resources stood right in the middle.

Lin Ying's face lit up with a bright smile, her voice clear and joyful. "Great-Grandma! I'm back!"

In the past, whenever she returned home, most people in the clan were happy, but there was always a small group of people who had some complaints about her.

After all, if resources are provided for her to refine pills, the Cultivation Resources for other younger disciples will be reduced.

This made them somewhat unhappy, and some of them weren't exactly welcoming of her return.

But this time is different.

Everyone stared at her blankly.

The shock that came from the bottom of her heart was so profound that even Lin Ying herself couldn't help but feel a surge of indescribable excitement.

As they spoke, the group landed.

Lin Ying held Lu Yang's arms with both hands and looked up at him.

Her pretty face was full of tender love. She smiled sweetly and naturally, and said softly, "Junior Brother Lu, I'll take you to meet my family."

Thank you, Junior Brother Lu, for coming back with me to meet my family...

Lu Yang smiled slightly, his voice gentle. "Mm."

The two walked forward side by side, with Wang Da and Wang San silently following behind.

The surrounding cultivators quickly made way for them, and no one dared to block their path.

Lin Ying led Lu Yang to the still somewhat bewildered Lin Qiaohua and introduced him with a gentle smile, "Great-Grandma, this is Lu Yang, my... my dao companion."

Lu Yang smiled.

With that smile, the world seemed to gain a touch more radiance.

He nodded slightly, his tone natural and polite. "Hello, Great-Grandma."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Only the cold wind in the valley continues to howl tirelessly.

Everyone stared at Lin Ying, whose face was flushed with shyness and whose smile was gentle.

They had already suspected this because they had seen the two behaving intimately.

But when I heard the young master confirm it himself, my mind went blank, as if I had been hit hard by something.

The younger generation of female cultivators in the Lin Household, in particular, were practically green with envy.

No... Yingying, are you eating so well?!

Not only is the dao companion incredibly handsome, but his background is also terrifyingly powerful, and he is remarkably gentle in his interactions with others.

Even when facing their ancestors, they showed not the slightest arrogance!
