Does the Lin Family Consider a Son-in-Law?

Clean and decisive.

A plain, unadorned instant kill.

It sent the brains of tens of thousands of onlookers into a complete freeze.

The moment Ye Fan revealed his cultivation.

Everyone's eyes turned to him.

The reason was simple—this was the Heavenly Pride Competition, restricted to those under twenty!

To reach the peak of the Five Qi Towards Origin Realm at such an age.

Even among tens of thousands of heavenly prides.

He was a top-tier existence in the first echelon.

Yet someone like that had been killed in a single move by this opponent!

What kind of interstellar joke was this!

The Ye Family and the other Four Great Families were collectively stunned into a daze.

The Daoist Robe Old Man's pupils dilated rapidly as he rubbed his eyes over and over.

Hoping he was seeing wrong.

But no matter how many times he stared, once, twice...

Ye Fan lay there like a dead dog.

Blood gushed from his crushed skull.

"Fan'er!"

The Daoist Robe Elder cried out in pain.

"My Ye Family's Kirin Son..."

"A genius prepared for over a decade specifically for this Heavenly Pride Competition."

"He... just died like this?"

"How is that possible!"

"That brat is actually at the True Core Realm!"

--Boom.

At those words.

The other four families were instantly dumbfounded.

The Two-Headed Divine Shadow stood frozen as if turned to stone, unable to speak clearly.

"T-True Core Realm?"

"An eighteen-year-old at the True Core Realm?"

"Impossible! Even among the Everlasting Families, few could reach such a level at this age!"

The moment he thought of this.

A cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Not good."

"My Liu Family's young men."

The words had barely left his mouth.

When in the Land of Blood Slaughter.

Four arrogant figures shoved aside other heavenly prides.

And charged straight at Lin You.

The look on their faces.

Was as wild as if they'd locked onto prey.

The Two-Headed Shadow outside was hopping with anxiety, roaring with all his might.

"Don't go!"

"He's already at the True Core Realm!"

"Don't do it!!!"

But the great formation had already sealed off all Spiritual Sense.

Inside the Land of Blood Slaughter.

Four existences at the Five Qi Towards Origin Realm surrounded Lin You.

Liu Neng hoisted a large blade over his shoulder, a full grin on his face.

"Lin Family..."

"This ends here!"

"Hmm? Where's Brother Ye Fan? Why isn't he here yet?"

"It's fine, we'll just make our move directly."

He looked up.

Just as he was about to strike.

Through the formation, he spotted an ancestor frantically waving his hands.

While still puzzled.

A flying fist came straight at his face.

Sensing this aura, Liu Sandao's pupils dilated wildly.

"Can't block it..."

"How is that possible!"

"Holy shit, a... a True Core Realm?"

—Boom.

One punch.

Soul and body annihilated.

The other two finally realized something was wrong.

Out of the corner of their eyes.

They seemed to see a headless corpse that looked like Ye Fan.

But it was already too late.

One person, one punch.

No resistance at all.

Smashed to pieces on the spot!

—Thud.

Outside the Land of Blood Slaughter.

The ancestors of the Five Great Families all collapsed to the ground, limp.

The Young Masters they had painstakingly raised were dead just like that...

And beaten without any chance to fight back.

"Holy shit... isn't this insane? Who said he had no cultivation?"

"This guy is eighteen?"

"That kid's cultivation is soaring through the skies—can he still compete in the Heavenly Pride Competition?"

"I'm reporting this, Lin You of the Lin Family was possessed by their ancestor, no way that's possible!"

"How's the Supreme Bone guy feeling now? An eighteen-year-old pops out a True Core Realm!"

Everyone chimed in with mockery.

All were stunned by Lin You's age and cultivation.

A being of this level.

Shouldn't even appear in the Seventh-grade Star Domain's Heavenly Pride Competition.

An Everlasting Family, maybe!

The Lin Family members were grinning from ear to ear.

"You'er's amazing! No wonder he wouldn't let us check his cultivation before—he was hiding this!"

"Who says the Lin Family has no Great Emperor? You'er is the next Great Emperor!"

"Shh~ Keep it down, don't piss off the other old geezers. It's just True Core Realm, no big deal~"

They bantered back and forth.

The faces of the other five families looked like they'd swallowed shit.

This battle.

Win or lose.

They had lost completely.

The most promising youth of their families—gone!

As long as the Lin Family held on, with a Prodigy like Lin You around.

Their destruction was only a matter of time.

Lin Dong burst into laughter.

"A true son of the house should be just like this."

"Ah, that feels good!"

"Big brother? Even you can misjudge sometimes. Who was it just now saying You'er was doomed for sure?"

Lin Tao rubbed his nose awkwardly, feeling his old face couldn't take the heat.

But an old hand was still an old hand—he could flip his face faster than flipping a book.

He flicked his sleeves.

"Actually, I saw through You'er's cultivation long ago."

"I was just deliberately keeping it a secret."

The words had barely left his mouth when his brothers exposed him.

"Cut it out, big brother. Just now when you saw You'er run into Ye Fan, you nearly cried from panic!"

"That's right, I declare the Stud Plan officially canceled!"

"What about the Aphrodisiac Powder?"

"Leave it for big brother!"

The Daoist Robe Old Man was fuming out of his mind.

He stood up, trembling as he leaned on his cane.

"I'm reporting this!"

"The Lin Family deliberately rigged the matching mechanism."

"That's how they made my Ye Family's son land in the same place as him!"

But the next second.

Boundless fury descended from the heavens.

The envoy sent by the Everlasting Family slapped the Daoist Robe Old Man so hard he crashed to the ground, gravely wounded.

"Bullshit."

"Are you questioning the authority of the Everlasting Family?"

Then, the envoy stepped down on auspicious clouds, landing slowly.

He cast a disdainful glance at the Ye Family crowd, then turned around with a full smile.

"Daoist friend Lin."

"Does the Lin Family's Kirin Son... have any intention of marrying into the family?"

"I am Elder Zhuge of the Everlasting Family's Zhuge clan. There are young ladies of the clan waiting to be wed."

"With Lin You's talent, he can absolutely join the Everlasting Family."

Holy shit?

At these words.

The other five great families all fell into panic.

Their hearts chanted over and over.

Don't agree, don't agree.

I'm begging you!

Because as long as the Lin Family nodded, they would definitely become a Mid-Third Grade Family.

And the other five great families, who had grudges with the Lin Family, would surely be slaughtered.

Most crucially.

What about the face of the Everlasting Family?

Holy shit!

How could you stoop to taking a son-in-law from a Lower Star Domain!

The brothers all silently looked at Lin Tao.

As the eldest brother of the family, this kind of matter was naturally his to decide.

Hitching a ride on the Everlasting Family's thigh would be the best outcome.

If not, no matter—the Lin Family had no habit of eating soft rice.

Lin Tao coughed once.

Out of respect for the Everlasting Family's face, he couldn't refuse outright, but agreeing...

He didn't want to either.

Marrying in and all that.

Once you enter a great house, it's as deep as the sea; from then on, the family becomes a stranger.

Thinking about how Lin You would have to live under his wife's family's thumb from now on, he felt a bitter taste in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist, no need to be reserved."

"Speak freely."

Envoy Zhuge seemed to see through Lin Tao's concerns and said directly.

Lin Tao nodded and declined.

"This matter..."

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"Lin You is too young to deserve such favor."

???

All eyes turned toward the Lin Family.

They had assumed that faced with such an opportunity, the Lin Family would gratefully accept it on the spot.

But unexpectedly...

You actually refused?

Are you crazy?

This is one of the Everlasting Families.

A colossus ranked among the upper Third-grade Star Domains, governing the heavens!

Have you lost your mind?

If the Lin Family nodded, they would escape their lowly status from now on.

And become a pillar of the middle three tiers!

Envoy Zhuge paused for half a second.

Then he nodded deeply.

"Very well."

"Since the Lin Family is unwilling, we won't force it."

"The fate was never meant to be."
