Sky-reaching Tree!

After the people left.

Su Ming stood in the void, his gaze fixed on the Lin Family's direction.

A Su Family elder praised him.

"Patriarch, your foresight is truly remarkable."

"Killing two birds with one stone, now the Lin Family has no choice but to act!"

Su Ming's eyes were as calm as an ancient well. He said softly.

"It's just a small scheme."

"Feng Yutao is pampered and arrogant; he definitely won't be able to take this lying down."

"When he returns, whether he incites the prodigies of the Sixteen Star Domains to attack Lin You, or uses the power of Phoenix Villa to attack the Lin Family."

"For us, it's all benefit and no harm."

"No matter how strong Lin You is, he can't possibly survive against the prodigies of the Sixteen Star Domains, let alone the truly ruthless figures who haven't even made a move yet."

The Su Family elder nodded in agreement and asked again.

"What if the Lin Family is truly a branch of an Everlasting Family?"

Su Ming waved his hand, saying calmly.

"The law does not punish the masses. If peers fight, can the Everlasting Family truly wipe out a Sixth-grade Star Domain?"

"At that time, if the Lin Family really has connections, we can use the Myriad Heavens Inspector to get ourselves out of trouble."

"If they don't have connections..."

Su Ming let out a cold snort at this point.

If the Lin Family had no backing, their fate would be annihilation!

Feng Yutao's only hope for revenge was to gather the prodigies of the Sixteen Star Domains to attack together; otherwise, he would have to swallow this bitter pill.

And Feng Yutao was pampered, arrogant, and vindictive. Su Ming had precisely targeted this trait of his.

That's why he instigated him to retaliate against Lin You in the name of 'peer prodigies'!

Lin Family.

Lin You ran into the courtyard wailing.

Behind him, Zhao Ling'er's face was flushed red as she swung her sword.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"

"You can't beat me anyway!"

"What are you doing!"

"I don't bully women, but if you push me, I'll fight back!"

Lin You dodged and stood in the courtyard, turning back to warn her.

Did she really think he was made of clay?

She had been chasing him for half an hour and still wasn't appeased!

"Come on!"

"Am I, Zhao Ling'er, afraid of you?"

"So what if you've cultivated for two more years?"

"When I'm eighteen, I'll definitely crush you, you scoundrel!"

Zhao Ling'er puffed out her chest, showing no fear at all.

Her pouting little face was surprisingly a bit cute.

Lin You's forehead was covered in black lines.

Showing off?

I haven't even been cultivating for three months.

And you think you can surpass me!

Do you think talent grows on trees?

But to be fair... Zhao Ling'er's talent was indeed a bit exaggerated.

Sixteen years old and already in the True Fire Refining Spirit realm.

Qin Feng, who was hailed as a once-in-a-million-year genius, when he fought with me.

He was only in the True Core Realm...

"Don't come any closer!"

"I'm really going to do it!"

Lin You took two steps back, his aura slowly revealing itself.

Seeing that the other party was serious, Zhao Ling'er's big eyes welled up with tears of grievance.

Just then.

The commotion woke everyone who was in seclusion within the Blessed Land.

"What the hell?"

"In broad daylight!"

"Can't people even cultivate anymore?"

The Eighth Elder's displeased voice came from within the Blessed Land.

"Oh?"

"It's a little girl!"

"What's going on, did the young man finally open up?"

"Realized you need to worry about your future?"

The Eighth Elder suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

Immediately after, Several uncles appeared before them.

The moment they saw Zhao Ling'er, they all craned their necks.

"Good heavens, what a spirited young lady."

"I like her... Don't misunderstand, I mean, I like her on behalf of You'er!"

"Good, good, good, such looks, such talent, absolutely no problem!"

Even Lin Tao couldn't help but gasp.

He looked Lin You up and down, suspiciously asking, "Where did you trick this girl from, boy? Don't tell me you forcibly brought her home."

"A playboy is a playboy."

"But you can't force yourself on her!"

Lin You retorted impatiently, "Brother Tao, what are you talking about? This girl is here to kill me!"

Everyone was stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Stop joking, she's only at the True Fire Refining Spirit realm, how could she possibly fight you."

"I guess You'er is going for the roguish charm route. There's a saying..."

"Men who aren't bad, women don't love them!"

"Wait, True Fire Refining Spirit at sixteen?"

The Second Elder, Lin Dong,'s eyes lit up. He looked at Zhao Ling'er and suddenly said, "Little girl..."

"Have we met somewhere before..."

As soon as Zhao Ling'er heard this, tears began to fall, as if she had suffered immense injustice.

"Zhao Family, Zhao Ling'er."

"Greetings, uncles!"

Instantly, The Lin Family fell into deathly silence.

The Zhao Family...

Was it the Zhao Family that Old Eighth had contacted back then, the one Lin You had refused, and the one they had overheard?

And most importantly...

Although the Zhao Family was only an Eighth-grade family, they were old friends of the Lin Family.

Back when they were in the Eighth-grade Star Domain, they had relied entirely on the Zhao Family's support and assistance.

It could be said, Without the Zhao Family's past favor, the Lin Family wouldn't be where they are today!

Suddenly, The atmosphere in the room completely reversed.

Lin Tao lunged forward and grabbed Lin You's ear.

"You just bully girls!"

"Apologize to the young lady immediately!"

Lin You: "???"

"Brother Tao, I'm being chased, and you want me to apologize?"

The Second Elder, Lin Dong, and the Eighth Elder also hurried over. They raised their fists as if to strike.

The other elders began brandishing their weapons.

The scene was as if enemies had invaded the Lin Family!

Lin You's mind instantly went blank. What in the world was happening!

Then he heard Brother Tao whisper, "Her feelings for us back then were greater than the heavens. What kind of situation is this, where she comes to our door and you bully her?"

"You little brat, be smarter!"

The Second Elder and Eighth Master, who were pressed close, also kept winking at him.

Only then did Lin You say with a wronged expression, "Miss Zhao, I was wrong!"

Seeing this, Zhao Ling'er's previously wronged expression vanished instantly.

She crossed her arms and said smugly, "Tell me, what did you do wrong?"

Lin You: "?"

"I was wrong about everything!"

"Miss, please put away your Spiritual Power!"

As soon as she started crying, eight summoned beasts appeared.

Who could possibly withstand that!

The most crucial point was that they couldn't fight her, and even if they could, they wouldn't win!

After another round of perfunctory scolding.

Lin You was finally released by everyone.

Zhao Ling'er chuckled and got to the point. She took out a spiritual grass from her pocket.

"Uncles."

"Ling'er is here this time to return a gift."

"When the Lin Family left back then, they left us a Heavenly Heart Bamboo."

"Now that so many years have passed, I am here on my father's orders to return a Sky-reaching Tree to you!"

Lin Tao looked over in surprise.

A small sapling appeared in Zhao Ling'er's hand.

Although it was very weak, it contained unimaginable Spiritual Energy.

Just a gentle sniff made one feel refreshed.

"Sky-reaching Tree?"

"Absolutely not!"

Lin Tao quickly waved his hands. "I was merely repaying the Zhao Family's kindness back then. This Sky-reaching Tree is the foundation of their family."

"Compared to the Heavenly Heart Bamboo, it's like the difference between clouds and mud!"

"Absolutely not!"

Zhao Ling'er seemed to have anticipated his refusal.

Without any further delay, she immediately stuffed the Sky-reaching Tree sapling into Lin Tao's hand.

"Uncle, please take it. This is Father's wish."

"Father said that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring. That Heavenly Heart Bamboo saved his life back then."

"The Zhao Family was able to continue because of it."

"Now, after cultivating the Heavenly Heart Bamboo for a thousand years, it has finally grown into a Sky-reaching Tree sapling, and it rightfully belongs back to its original owner."

"Father also said that if Uncle refuses to accept it, it means you are unwilling to acknowledge the friendship with the Zhao Family."

Her words fell.

Lin Tao was speechless.

With things said to this extent, he had no room to refuse.

Moreover, the Sky-reaching Tree was extremely rare, even comparable to Heaven Grade cultivation methods.

If it could grow into a large tree, just standing there, it could bring a massive amount of Spiritual Energy to the entire family.

This was far more useful than countless cultivation resources!

"Then..."

"Since that is the case, I will accept it."

"We haven't forgotten our debt to the Zhao Family!"

Lin Tao slowly took the Sky-reaching Tree sapling and said solemnly.

Just then.

Lin You, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke.

"Wait!"

"A Sky-reaching Tree sapling?"

"Let me see it!"
