The Lin Household Rises to Heaven Alongside One Who Has Attained the Dao
Lin Qiaohua couldn't help but swallow, her smile instantly becoming incredibly warm, her joy almost overflowing. "Oh! Oh! Young Master Lu, hello, hello! Yingying really is something, why didn't you tell me about such a big matter beforehand? I could have prepared in advance and properly received you!"
She greeted them warmly, but she was actually feeling uneasy inside.
After all, there are still quite a few young people in the Lin Household who are after Yingying!
If she had known that her Yingying already had dao companion, and one of this dao companion at that, she would have made it known long ago.
If anyone dares to mess with her Yingying, she'll just throw a talisman at them and blow them up!
Lin Ying's pretty face flushed red. She glanced at Lu Yang somewhat shyly, then lowered her head, her voice soft and gentle. "I didn't think that much about it, and... I didn't expect Junior Brother Lu to come back with me."
She was telling the truth.
Lu Yang's return with her this time was indeed somewhat unexpected.
She herself never expected that when she said goodbye that day, she would have the courage to say that she wanted to give Junior Brother Lu that kind of gift.
Her cheeks flushed as she thought about that night in the bedroom.
Of course, she never expected that Junior Brother Lu would have such a flying boat, which sent her back to the Lin Household so quickly.
Lu Yang smiled, his tone slightly joking. "Great-grandmother, just call me by my name. You're Senior Sister Lin's elder; if you call me 'Young Master,' Senior Sister Lin will be angry with me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ying gently shook Lu Yang's arm, a hint of coquettishness appearing on her gentle face. "How could I get angry so easily?"
Despite saying that, Lu Yang's words made her heart flutter even more.
The painting depicts a very close relationship between Lin Ying and Lin Qiaohua.
She has always been very clear in her heart that her success today is due to two factors: firstly, her innate talent for alchemy and her willingness to work hard; and secondly, her great-grandmother's decision to use the Lineage's resources to nurture her despite opposition.
Despite his high status, Junior Brother Lu was so close and approachable to her great-grandmother, which touched her heart.
This is more precious to her than anything else.
As she thought about it, her eyes reddened slightly, a thin layer of water welled up in them, and she almost burst into tears.
Lin Qiaohua hadn't expected Lu Yang to be so gentle.
She paused for a moment, looked at Lin Ying, and her lips trembled slightly.
Her own eyes were a little red, and she nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay... Lu Yang, come inside and rest with me, it's windy outside!"
She instinctively reached out to pull Lu Yang into the house, but stopped after taking just one step.
She could clearly see that her great-granddaughter's dao companion was no ordinary person.
The two cultivators behind him possessed a profound and abyss-like aura; their mere presence inspired awe, even more so than the two Peak Foundation Establishment cultivators who had accompanied Han Fei.
Judging from the posture of those two cultivators, they were probably there specifically to protect their great-grandson-in-law.
Could he be a protector?
She dared not think any further and quickly beckoned Lin Ying to bring Lu Yang into the house.
Lin Ying took Lu Yang's hand and walked inside, while Lu Yang followed beside her with a light laugh.
He glanced around and noticed that there were quite a few people in the valley.
Among them were even several Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, including two at the Peak Foundation Establishment.
This surprised Lu Yang somewhat.
He asked curiously, "Senior Sister Lin, didn't you say your Lin Household only has one Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator? How come there are so many?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiaohua and the other Lin Household cultivators immediately felt a sense of panic.
Lin Qiaohua, in particular, felt a sudden jolt of fear.
If this incident causes someone as important as Lu Yang to harbor resentment towards Yingying, that would be a grave sin.
Who would have thought that their beloved great-granddaughter would bring home such a great-grandson-in-law without a word!
Lin Ying wasn't as flustered as they were.
She knew Lu Yang very well, so naturally he wouldn't get angry over such a small matter.
A hint of helplessness appeared on Lin Ying's gentle face as she explained, "Every year when I come back, my great-grandmother's friends bring their younger relatives over to visit, wanting to get to know me. But I'm usually at home refining pills, so I haven't had much contact with them."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang's expression became somewhat strange.
I'm going on a blind date in the cultivation Immortal Realm...
I didn't expect they'd do this in another world too!
Luckily, he hasn't gone home in the past few years, otherwise he might have been dragged to blind dates by his elders too?
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. With her own Senior Sister Lin's qualities, it's only natural that she's popular.
Lu Yang didn't think Lin Ying was lying to him, after all, their goodwill towards each other was evident.
His tone carried a hint of teasing. "Looks like Senior Sister Lin is quite popular. Junior Brother is really lucky."
Lin Ying's pretty face turned bright red, and she lowered her head, not daring to reply.
After a long silence, a soft, gentle voice transmitted through Lu Yang's mind. "To gain Junior Brother Lu's favor, I'm the one who's truly won..."
Lu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly and replied telepathically, "Then Senior Sister Lin should try out various new games with me in the future, otherwise I'll be at a huge loss."
Lin Ying: "????"
Remembering the "playing games" Lu Yang had mentioned before, her pretty face flushed red. She gritted her teeth and transmitted a voice, playfully scolding, "Perverted junior brother... you're so bad..."
The two could not hear each other's telepathic communication, but Lu Yang's teasing remark to Lin Qiaohua was clearly audible.
She breathed a huge sigh of relief, but was also increasingly surprised. It seemed that this Young Master Lu really liked her Yingying.
Seeing the two of them being so close, Lin Qiaohua felt a surge of emotion.
With this Young Master Lu's background, she probably won't have to worry about her daughter Yingying's future anymore.
Of course, she hoped that her great-granddaughter could live a good life.
The three of them walked through the crowd and headed deeper into the Lin Household.
The cultivators who had come to visit had already turned pale when they heard Lu Yang's question, since they had come specifically for Lin Ying and were afraid of being held accountable.
Seeing that Lu Yang had no intention of pursuing the matter, everyone felt their bodies go limp, as if they had just escaped from the brink of death.
Afterwards, they quietly greeted the middle-aged cultivators in charge of the Lin Household and then took their leave.
Their footsteps were quick and light, as if they wanted to disappear beyond the valley in the blink of an eye.
Even Han Fei respectfully took his leave and hurriedly followed the two elders away from the Lin Household.
The two elders of the Han Household carried Han Fei and soared into the air on their swords, disappearing at an extremely fast speed.
The two were flying with almost all their might, the wind whistling incessantly in their ears.
After flying dozens of kilometers, the two looked back to make sure no one was chasing them before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
One of them, still somewhat shaken, lowered his Sound Dao, "They didn't catch up... It seems they didn't take us seriously at all."
The other person gave a wry smile, raising his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. "That's great."
Seeing the two men's expressions of relief, Han Fei couldn't help but whisper, "Uncle, Third Uncle, weren't you two being a little too nervous?"
The two men exchanged a glance, and one of them's lips twitched, his voice trembling. "Nervous? Those two cultivators behind that Young Master Lu were both Golden Core Realm! And they were much stronger than our ancestor!"
Han Fei was startled, his eyes widening suddenly.
He was only at the Qi Refining Realm, and could only vaguely sense that the two cultivators were very strong, but he didn't have a clear idea of exactly how strong they were.
Now, after hearing what his eldest and third uncles said, he finally understood.
A Golden Core Realm expert, even stronger than his own ancestor, was actually following behind that young master?
What exactly is their relationship?
He swallowed hard, not daring to think any further.
The three looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, one of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators spoke first, his voice low and solemn. "... Go back quickly. This matter must be reported to the Ancestor and the entire clan, lest someone foolishly offend that young master."
Han Fei and the other person nodded repeatedly.
The other person hesitated for a moment, then his expression turned serious, and he added, "And the Lin Household, it's best not to offend them either."
The other two exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
Their expressions were somewhat complicated.
Lin Ying was that young master's dao companion, and the Lin Household also benefited from his success, rising to prominence along with him.
If that young master were to slip even a tiny bit of something through his fingers, the Lin Household would likely rise to great heights.
If the Lin Household were even luckier and produced a Golden Core Realm cultivator in the future, it would have an impact on the entire Han Household!
